- >Bath comes later!
- >You proceed downstairs and enter the kitchen.
- >To your regret, nobody is here.
- >"Mom? Dad?"
- >You run back upstairs.
- >Your parents door is closed.
- >Knocking on it frantically, you open it.
- >Dad is asleep.
- >You rush inside and appear near the bed.
- Dad! Dad! Where's Mom?
- Anon opens one eye.
- >"She went to work. A large order came in, so she'll be late."
- Oh. Do you know what day it is? Guess!
- >"It's Sunday."
- Yes, but you should know more than that!
- >"Just an ordinary day, Pogo. Nothing special about it. Now go grab some breakfast. Dad needs a little more sleep."
- >Your cheerful face fades away.
- OK...
- >You quietly leave and decide to eat breakfast alone.
- >Did they forget?
- >They couldn't, right?
- >Right?
- >As you finish eating, you head back to your room.
- >You stare out the window.
- >The sun shines brightly.
- >But it doesn't improve your mood.
- >Maybe tonight they'll remember?
- >It's hours away.
- >You need to distract yourself.
- >Toys.
- >Drawing.
- >Anything.
- >They don't help.
- >You lay on your back.
- >Time feels sluggish.
- >Is this how you will spend your birthday?
- >The feeling of despair dreads upon your heart.
- >You sigh.
- They really did forget.

- >"Pogo?"
- >Your eyes roll back.
- >It's Dad.
- >He's dressed in his usual attire.
- Huh?
- >"Your Mom asked me to help at Sugarcube Corner. Do you know where the extra ingredients are kept? You usually bake with her."
- >You give off a monotone voice.
- It's in the shed. The corner.
- >"I can't find them. Mind showing me where they're at?"
- >You pick yourself up.
- >The ingredients should be there.
- >You and Anon make your way to the shed.
- >Inside is dark as ever.
- >Just like today.
- >You flip the light switch.
- >"SURPRISE!"
- Ah!
- >You jump back out of fright.
- >Anon catches you from falling.
- >"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
- >You're speechless.
- >Everywhere you look, you see every pony's smiling face.
- >Your Aunties: Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy.
- >Uncle Cake, Auntie Cake, and the twins!
- >Even your friends from school are present!
- >"Happy birthday, Pogo."
- >You turn to your Dad.
- >He has a grin on his face.
- >"I'm sorry for my behavior earlier. It was tough not to let the secret out. Forgive me?"
- >You wrap your arms around Anon and squeeze tight.
- >"Ugh!"
- Always! You're the best!
- >"Hey, hey!"
- >Pinkie Pie hops over.
- >"What about your Mom who worked ever so hard?"
- >"I helped, too! My baking may not be up to par as your Mom's but..."
- >Pinkie Pie giggles.
- >You hug her.
- Thanks, Mom! You're the greatest!
- >"Ooh! The greatest! Did you hear that?"
- >Anon rolls his eyes.
- >"Ready to enjoy your party, Pogo?"
- YEAH!
- >Your smile comes back.
- >It glows radiantly.
- >That awful, unpleasant feeling from before vanishes.
- >Today is a wonderful day, and it just started.
