DM: Any other tangents people want to resolve before we get back to the main plot?

Applejack: We have a main plot?

DM: Well, the big sub-plot.

Fluttershy: I’m okay. Just happy to be here, really.

Pinkie Pie: Not me! I want to go to at least one party before we leave!

DM: You’re in luck, then. Canterlot’s full of ponies who like to party. Dinner parties, garden parties, benefit parties, company parties…

Pinkie Pie: Something that’s not something self-important rich people put together.

DM: Oh. Then no, not in Canterlot.

Rarity: Do not knock it until you’ve tried it.

Pinkie Pie: Well I’ll make my own party! Who’s got a birthday coming up?

Twilight Sparkle: Uh… Well… Mine’s in two months?

Pinkie Pie: Congratulations, you’re getting an early birthday party!

Twilight Sparkle: Is that really necessar- Nevermind. I know better than to ask.
