The three of them arrived at the gym while bickering along the way, only to find that the supposedly empty gym was now filled with balloons.
Furthermore, a girl with pink curly hair was constantly creating new balloons with her astonishing lung capacity.
I bet that's definitely Pinkie Pie.
Rainbow Dash introduced the human-shaped blower to the other two.
Among those present, only Sunset Shimmer likely didn't know Pinkie Pie; Trixie knew her, after all, she was the chair of the school's dance planning committee and the person mainly responsible for the Autumn Formal.
As soon as Pinkie Pie received the message Rainbow Dash sent in their group chat of five, she immediately came to the gym with a bunch of balloons and streamers.
She hadn't carefully read what message Rainbow Dash had sent; she only knew that a super big party was going to be held here tomorrow night. This directly triggered Pinkie Pie's underlying code, and by the time her brain registered it, she was already blowing up balloons.
Oh! Hi! Rainbow Dash! I'm here!
The speed at which Pinkie Pie created balloons was astonishing. In just this short while, she had already blown enough balloons to cover the floor, and she didn't feel tired at all.
Seeing the three people standing at the door through a pile of balloons, Pinkie Pie jumped up and waved to signal them.
Wow, Pinkie Pie, I have to admit that you're faster than me in this regard.
Rainbow Dash made her way through the balloons with some difficulty, careful not to step on them, and finally managed to reach Pinkie Pie's side.
Need you ask?! This is a su ♦ per big party!!
Pinkie Pie grabbed Rainbow Dash's shoulders and shook her frantically to express the excitement and ecstasy in her heart.
I was just queuing up at Sugarcube Corner to buy cupcakes! Just when it was almost my turn, I suddenly saw the message you sent me. Guess what? I stopped queuing right then and there, rushed to the front, and ordered enough cupcakes for the whole school from Mrs. Cake! After all, how can you have a party without cupcakes!!?
Pinkie Pie was the chair of the school's dance planning committee, personally appointed by Principal Celestia. Whenever the school held any large-scale event, she had the authority to apply for funding. Moreover, Pinkie Pie had a long-standing cooperative relationship with Sugarcube Corner, so orders handled by her could enjoy the greatest discounts.
Thinking about how the entire school's students would be attending tomorrow, Pinkie Pie was so excited she wanted to scream, but she still had to blow up balloons, so she blew all her screams into the balloons.
Ahhh!!!
Sunset Shimmer still wasn't used to walking on two legs and accidentally stepped on and popped a balloon, but she couldn't help but feel that the popping sound of this balloon was very strange.
Uh... are you sure the message you sent to the group was about a performance, and not a party?
Trixie leaned into Rainbow Dash's ear and asked, Pinkie Pie's hyper state making her wonder if she had misunderstood something.
She's just that kind of person, you'll get used to it. To Pinkie Pie, as long as a group of people are gathered together laughing and chatting, that's a party.
Oh! I was so busy greeting Rainbow Dash that I didn't notice you two. Hello! Trixie, and this person I don't know.
Her name is Sunset Shimmer, she's a transfer student who just enrolled today.
Rainbow Dash pointed at the slowly moving Sunset Shimmer.
Sunset Shimmer, being pointed at, saw the three of them watching her exaggerated walking posture from afar. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly, immediately stood up straight, and waved to them.
Whoa! Looks like our transfer student is a homebody who doesn't usually go out for walks.
I just... didn't want to step on these balloons.
Finally managing to shuffle over to their side, Sunset Shimmer found a relatively reasonable excuse for her lack of skill in bipedal walking.
Are all these balloons ones you just blew up? In such a short time? And just using your lungs?
Yeah! Blowing up balloons is easy, watch!
Right in front of Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie pulled the "balloon pattern" off her skirt, took an exaggerated deep breath, and then blew the balloon up big and round in one go, finally tying it off skillfully and tossing it aside for later use.
Pinkie Pie is just like that, you'll get used to it.
Seeing the look of hesitation on Sunset Shimmer's face, Rainbow Dash understood what she wanted to say, patted her on the shoulder, and told her not to mind it.
Anyway, one problem is solved for now.
Having witnessed the existence of a "lung-capacity superman," Sunset Shimmer didn't dare to delve into just how ridiculous this person's physical stats were.
Anyway, as far as she was concerned, as long as someone could help solve a problem, they were a great person, and asking about the details would be impolite.
The others will probably take a while to arrive, I'll check the messages first.
They were incredibly relieved to leave the seating arrangement to Pinkie Pie. What remained was stage setup, performance costumes, performance props, and they also needed to borrow some Small Animals for guest appearances.
Rainbow Dash casually found a seat in the auditorium and started scrolling through the group chat messages on her phone.
Looks like there's some good news; preparations are going much smoother than I imagined. Heaven must be blessing 'The Great and All-Powerful Trixie's Magnificent Magic Show!' so that it can proceed smoothly.
That's what you call 'the foolish have foolish luck,' I suppose.
Sunset Shimmer's bluntness earned her a glare from Trixie.
But how are your own magic props coming along? No one can help you with that, after all, it involves... hmm, your 'trade secrets'?
Sunset Shimmer reminded Trixie, feeling a bit uneasy.
Hmph~! You used that term well, Sunset Shimmer. The most crucial things must, of course, be handled personally by The Great and All-Powerful Trixie! And I've told you, you don't need to worry about this at all!
Sunset Shimmer didn't say anything, just kept staring at her with a skeptical attitude.
...Fine, fine, I've already put them in the backstage area ahead of time; as soon as the stage is set up, they can be moved up immediately. Honestly, as my partner, you should at least maintain the most basic trust in The Great and All-Powerful Trixie.
Perhaps she knew herself how sometimes... well, how unreliable she was most of the time, but magic was Trixie's soul, and she would absolutely not allow anyone to question her in this regard.
...I hope so. But to be safe, you'd better check them again before the performance tomorrow, just in case anything goes wrong.
Sunset Shimmer also found a seat to rest for a while; she hadn't expected to encounter such exhausting pony business on her first day attending human school.
Tomorrow's performance must be very important to you, right? It wasn't easy to find so many people willing to help you, don't let everyone down.
Sunset Shimmer said in a very sincere tone.
These words inexplicably touched Trixie's heart. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately resumed her devil-may-care attitude, sat next to Sunset Shimmer with a smug look on her face, hooked her arm around her neck, and said.
That goes without saying! The Great and All-Powerful Trixie will never let anyone down when it comes to things she needs to do right!
