2Discord lead the group to a cave on the island. Inside, the cave grew darker, but Discord instructed the group to follow his voice. Eventually, the group found their way outside of the cave and happened upon an amazing sight; a circus.
A bright and colorful circus with everything you could ask for; acrobats, clowns, lion tamers, and so much more. Pound and Pumpkin, as well as Pinkie were overjoyed as they, along with Mr. and Mrs. Cake, took to their seats to enjoy the show.
After taking their seats, the lights went out and a spotlight shined on Discord who was wearing a black suit and top hat.
"Fillies and gentlecolts! Welcome to the most unpredictable, unexplainable, unimaginable show in all of Equestria. I give to you, Discord's Chaotic Circus!" Discord said before he removed his top hat, turned it upside down and placed it on the floor.
Suddenly, his hat grew to giant size and from out of it popped a sea of confetti and fireworks. Afterwards, he disappeared.
Multiple Discords performed in the circus, each performing a different routine.
Two Discords each held a lit torch and swallowed them hold, letting out a burp. Then suddenly, they both farted out the fire, causing to fly around the tent, creating rings of fire which a pair of Discord acrobats jumped through.
Another group of Discords formed a tower and the one at the top grabbed another Discord that was swinging from the trapeze. Then the Discord tower swung over to another Discord on the trapeze. The Discord at the bottom flung into the air and then through a hole in the floor, then reappeared through the ceiling.
Two more Discords were riding on unicycles, each one juggling a Discord head, then throwing them in the air. While in the air, the Discord heads spat out pigeons that flew around the tent.
Pinkie and the Cakes applauded.
Next, another Discord was taming a manticore. He then changed into Western clothes and hopped onto the manticore, treating it like a horse and eventually running it into a wall. Two more Discords dressed as nurses came in and carried the manticore out on a stretcher.
Pound and Pumpkin laughed at the Discord's antics.
Next, a tiny, Discord shaped car rolled in and from out of it came many Discords in clown costumes.
One Discord squeezed his head multiple times, making a honking sound. Another Discord tapped him on the shoulder and it looked like he was gonna hit him in the face with a pie, but instead, he hit himself.
Another Discord reached into the clown car and pulled out a small box. He opened it up and pulled a number of items from it; a whoopee cushion, a rubber chicken, another Pinkie Pie? But eventually, he found a series of glowing hoola hoops and tossed them to the other Discord clowns. The lights went out and the clown Discords started hooping.
One of the Discords snapped his fingers, making Pound and Pumpkin appear next to him and gave them miniature hoola hoops. The two twins played with the hoops and had a lot of fun.
Pinkie decided to join in the fun as well, taking a giant beach ball and balancing on it. "Wee!" she exclaimed. "Hey, Pound, Pumpkin, wanna join me?"
But the twins were too focused on playing with the hoola hoops to notice. Pinkie's smiling face turned into one of indifference as she stopped and her beach ball deflated.
High up on a diving board, another Discord was preparing himself for a dive as another Discord announced him.
"And now, the one and only Discord will perform the most spectacular, death-defying leap ever performed by pony or god of chaos. Discord will leap 20,000 feet into...a tiny glass of water," said Discord.
The Discord dove off, playing cards, reading a book, and drinking tea on the way down, and fell right into the glass of water.
The other Discord took the glass and poured it into a large bowl. He then put in a variety of items; sugar, flour, chocolate, a hammer, a whisk, a fish, an axe, and a tiny pinch of salt. He stirred up the ingredients with a wooden spoon and pulled out a bear.
"A bear?! Oops! Don't think I added enough sugar," said Discord before he poured in more sugar.
This time, what he wanted came out; an airplane. He jumped in and brought the twins and Pinkie in with him and the three flew around the tent. Pound and Pumpkin were just having a grand ole time.
Eventually, Discord picked up Mr. and Mrs. Cake and the group flew out of the tent.
After a while in the air, Discord decided it was time to drop them off.
"This is our stop," Discord said before he pulled a lever on the plane which opened up a trap door.
The Cakes and Pinkie went falling out of the plane smack dab into a white river.
Emerging from the river, Pinkie licked the white stuff off her face and made a discover. "It's marshmallow cream!" she exclaimed.
The Cakes tasted for themselves and discovered that it was in fact marshmallow cream.
And not only that, but there were mountains made of ice cream, trees made out of lollipops, taffy snakes, giant gummy bears, and chocolate bunnies.
"Jumping jellybeans!" exclaimed Pinkie.
"I know. This place is unbelievable," said Mrs. Cake.
"No, jumping jellybeans!" Pinkie said again, pointing to a horde of living jellybeans that were jumping around.
Suddenly, Discord appeared before the group dressed in a purple dress coat, beige pants, and a brown top hat, and was carrying a cane. "Welcome, friends, do you like?" he asked.
"Oh yes. We like very much!" said Pinkie.
Discord snapped his fingers and made a three-person bike appear. He then placed Pound and Pumpkin on two of the seats, and then himself. "Come along," he said before he preceded to ride the twins around the candy themed world. He then made two ice cream scoops appeared and scooped up bits of the ice cream mountains to give to the twins.
"Welcome to a world of imagination," said Discord as a group of gingerbread ponies came marching by.
Meanwhile, Pinkie rode around on a gummy bear, chasing a bunch of chocolate bunnies around. "Heehee! Hey, you reminds me of my pet alligator. His name is Gummy and your a gummy bear! HAHAHAHA!" she said jokingly before biting one of the bear's ears off.
The bear whimpered a bit.
Pinkie watched as Discord handed two chocolate bunnies to Pound and Pumpkin before patting both of them on the head. She was quite pleased at what Discord had done for them, though at the same time, she also felt a little indifferent. Suddenly, Discord appeared behind her.
"Oh, Pinkie I must say, I'm glad you talked me into this. This is the most fun I've had in centuries and those twins aren't so bad either," said Discord.
"Yeah, they're a real hoot alright," Pinkie said with a slight chuckle.
"We must do this again next year," said Discord.
"Yeah...definitely..." Pinkie said again with a slight chuckle before Discord returned to the twins.
"Well, my little fillies, I hope you're having fun, because we're not finished yet," said Discord.
"There's more?" asked Mr. Cake.
"Oh yes, there's one more stop," Discord said as he brought the group's attention to a shining, golden boat on the marshmallow river.
"Great...what's he got planned this time?" Pinkie said, slightly annoyed.
The group stepped onto the boat with Discord at the wheel and they headed down the river.
"Oh look, it's a waterfall, or in this case it should be, a 'marshmallow-fall,' said Discord.
The group braced themselves before the boat went down the fall, splashing down below.
Suddenly, the group found themselves at a long table covered with uniquely designed teapots and teacups, as well as cookies and cupcakes.
"Oh! A tea party!" Mrs. Cake said happily.
Discord appeared before the group dressed in a green suit with a playing card in the pocket and a giant purple top hat. Angel was also there dressed in a red dress coat, much to his dismay, made no better when Pound and Pumpkin went over to pet him.
Discord snapped his fingers and made the teacups and teapots float around the table and pour not tea, but chocolate milk. He gave two of them to the twins who loved it. Discord snapped his fingers again and the teacups and teapots began dancing. Pound and Pumpkin flew around on the teapots, giggling as they were enjoying the ride.
Pinkie sighed in annoyance.
"And now for the main event," Discord said before revealed a giant, multicolored cake that had fruit punch squirting out of it.
Pound and Pumpkin enjoyed the cake and then went over to give Discord a hug.
"Ohoho, Mr. Discord, this certainly has been a fantastic (if not somewhat weird and sometimes frightening) birthday party!" said Mrs. Cake.
"You think you do the twins' party next year?" asked Mr. Cake.
Pinkie was shocked to hear Mr. Cake say that.
"Well if you really want me too," Discord said oh so humbly before he set off a bunch of fireworks in the sky.
After the light show, Discord snapped his fingers again and the group returned to Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie watched as Discord and the twins had formed a bond with one another. Feeling sad, she decided to take her leave.
Discord noticed her leaving and caught up with her.
"Well, Pinkie, I must say, that was quite a rejuvenating experience," said Discord.
"Glad you though so," Pinkie said unenthusiastically.
"Is something wrong?" Discord asked.
"Oh nothing, it's just, Pound and Pumpkin have really taken a liking to you and why not? You gave them such a great party, while I almost forgot the whole thing. I guess maybe I just don't have the Pinkie Party Touch anymore. Anyway, great party, can't for the next one...next year..." Pinkie said before she left with a tear in her eye.
As Pinkie departed, Discord began to feel something strange, something he had never felt before. He turned to Mr. and Mrs. Cake to confirm what it was.
"What is this...thing that I'm feeling? It's so...bizarre. Like a knife is cutting into my body," said Discord.
"I think what you're feeling might be guilt?" Mr. Cake guessed.
"Guilt? What's that?" asked Discord.
"It's when you feel bad about something you did," Mrs. Cake answered.
Pound and Pumpkin also felt bad about hurting Pinkie's feelings.
"You mean like with Pinkie? But that doesn't make sense. She asked me to help with the party," said Discord.
"I guess maybe you helped a little too much," said Mr. Cake.
"And I guess that made Pinkie feel bad about her abilities as a party planner," said Mrs. Cake.
Discord thought about what the Cakes said and an idea came to mind. He gathered the Cakes into a huddle and whispered his plan to them.
The next day, Pinkie packed all her party items; her balloons, streamers, party horns, birthday cakes, clown shoes, and party cannon; into a small briefcase. It appeared as though Pinkie's party planning days were over.
"Everyone in Ponyville would be better off with Discord instead of me," Pinkie said, tearing up as she packed.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Pinkie went downstairs and opened the door to find Spike.
"Oh...hey Spike," a depressed Pinkie said.
"Pinkie, Twilight needs you and the others at the castle! It's urgent!" said Spike.
"Really? What about?" Pinkie asked.
"Twilight accidentally created a giant cake monster and it's tearing the castle apart!" said Spike.
"A GIANT CAKE MONSTER?! WELL WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?! LET'S GO!" Pinkie exclaimed before she put Spike on her back and zoomed at supersonic speed towards the castle.
At the castle door, Pinkie immediately opened it and rushed inside, running into a pile of cake. But this cake wasn't a monster, it in fact was regular cake, much to Pinkie's confusion. After wiping the cake and icing off her face, she discovered Discord, along with the Cakes, and all her friends from Ponyville.
"What's going on here? Where's the cake monster?" asked Pinkie.
"Pinkie, there is no cake monster. I just sent Spike to tell you that to get you over here," said Twilight.
Pinkie looked around the foyer and saw all the decorations and food and party favor and wasn't too thrilled as she usually would be.
"Oh, it's a party...great...probably a, 'Discord threw Pound and Pumpkin the best party ever and now Discord is the new party planner in town and nobody needs Pinkie Pie anymore' party," Pinkie said sadly.
"Wrong," Discord answered. "It's actually a 'Pinkie Pie's 1000th planned party' party!"
"What?" Pinkie said in shock.
"Well I did some snooping in your 'secret party cave' and discovered that Pound and Pumpkin's birthday was your 1000th planned party in Ponyville!" said Discord.
Pinkie gasped and her cheeks blew up to the size of beachballs. "That's right! How could I have forgot that?!" she exclaimed.
"I guess you were so busy planning Pound and Pumpkin's party that you lost track," said Applejack.
"Huh, that's so not like me. But wait, I didn't plan the party, it was all Discord," said Pinkie.
"Wrong again. We both did, even though I did most of the work and a spectacular job I must say," Discord bragged.
"Discord!" everyone said.
"My point is we both did it and I'm sorry I made you feel like you had lost your...Pinkie Party Touch. Forgive me?" Discord asked.
Pinkie immediately jumped up and gave Discord a big hug. Pound and Pumpkin joined in.
"We're sorry too, Pinkie," said Mrs. Cake.
"Yeah, we didn't mean to make you feel bad," said Mr. Cake.
"Don't worry about it. I'm just glad that Pound and Pumpkin were able to have a happy, happy, sappy, clappy, birthday! Now, let's party!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"Yeah! Let's JAM!" Starlight exclaimed.
"C'mon, everypony, let's party!" she exclaimed.
Everypony stared at Starlight with surprise, making her blush a little bit.
A Discord appeared dressed like a DJ and along with DJ-Pon-3, rocked the turntable as everyone gathered to do the conga line.
For the rest of the day, everyone just had a good time; eating food, dancing, and partying. Pinkie had thrown many parties in the past, but this was one she would never forget. Although, she never forgot any of her other previous parties to begin with.
