Pinkie Pie was bouncing around Sugar Cube Corner, from cooking to decorating and even running the counter, she was trying to do it all; if it was anyone else, they would be failing miserably. The cake family was out of town on a much deserved vacation. Although they weren't sure that Pinkie could handle it, she knew she was more then able. Especially since the Corner always closed early on holidays. Sugar Cube Corner was flooded with last minute customers looking for a late gift for their special somepony or those without looking for sweets to pass the day by. Pinkie was so busy with all the ponies, she didn't even have time to take a lunch break or even a cupcake break! Hours passed by faster then usual for the pink pony. As the amount of cakes and snacks dwindled down so did the ponies. By the time she locked the door and closed up the shop, she was covered in all sorts of confectionery goodness. As she started to head up to the bathroom to clean herself up. It wasn't long before Pinkie Pie was ready to hit the streets of Ponyville, but before she leaves she had to make sure to check her party calendar She pulled out the calender, which was large as a map of Canterlot from under her bed. There were scribbles on everyday of the year; birthdays, holidays and other random facts and trivia. There was only one blank spot, it was hearts and hooves day, there was a large heart around the calender, but the inside was bare. "No date! No date! I almost forgot that I didn't have a date tonight! Om my Celestia what am I going to do!" Pinkie was circling gummy while talking."This is going to be worse then the time I went to into the costume party without a cos..." She suddenly stopped mid-bounce and gasped. "Oh I know! I know!" She quickly put her calendar up before leaving her home.
