When Pinkie Pie woke up with floppy eyebrows, a bouncy knee, and a twisty ear, she knew. Her Pinkie-Pie-Ultra-Super-Special-Birthday Sense was NEVER wrong. All throughout the day, wherever they happened to be, anyone who wasn't Minako would suddenly find themselves accosted by a pink party pony on the prowl. "HEY! It'sMinako'sbirthdaytodaysowe'regonnahaveaTOTALLYSUPERSECRETsurprise party! So don't tell ANYBODY and be in the cafeteria tonight before six okay bye!" she whispered all in one breath before darting away again, intent on informing the entire Satellite about the special day.

By the appointed time, the cafeteria was entirely decked out in red-and-white streamers and balloons, with a big sheet cake reading "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINAKO!" and covered in red frosting-bows. It was hard to see the decorations, though, what with the entire room being shrouded in darkness. New arrivals were quickly pulled through the door by Pinkie. "Get ready!" she whispered. "Terra's supposed to be bringing Minako soon!" Since Terra and Minako seemed to be good friends, she'd put him in charge of making sure the birthday girl got to her party.

Terra smiled. If nothing else he could turn the night around with this. "Follow me and I'll show you." He started leading her down the hallway and before long and taken her to the Cafeteria deck. He knocked on the door to give Pinkie the signal and then held it open for Minako to enter her surprise party.

And with that, Minako stepped in, clearly not realizing what was going on.

"...Eh? Where are the lights?"

Pinkie, bouncing in place in the dark at the front of her small crowd of guests, had begun to wonder where exactly her Super-Special Birthday-Girl-Getter had gone off to. He hadn't gotten lost, had he? Gasp - maybe Minako knew about the party and she was hiding! Fluttershy was normally the only one who did that kind of thing though...Luckily, the pony heard Terra give the secret knock before anyone had the chance to get too restless - loud guests could totally ruin even the best planned of surprise parties!

At Minako's question, she flipped on the lights and flung her forelegs up in the air. "SURPRIIIIIIIISE!!!!" she yelled, leading the guests. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MINAKO!"

It took Minako a moment to compute what was happening. Surprise? Happy birthday?

...

"oh...my.....GOD!!" Minako immediately lit up. "I-is this...for me!? Oh my god!!"

Pinkie bounced up to her guest of honor. "Uh-huh! It's your birthday and all, so I put this all together JUST FOR YOU! Here's your hat!" She handed over a tiny party hat with a few streamers taped to the top - it was the best she'd been able to do on short notice. "Come on, come on! Let's get this party STARTED!"

Whether she was a party person or not, there was no way she was missing this; she liked Mina too much for that.

As the party officially began she adjusted the red dress she found for the occasion, approached and gave Minako a big hug.

"Happy birthday~" she said, handing her a wrapped package, "I hope you like it; you don't wanna know what I had to go through to even get it."
