Devious Plans

[twilightpony]

I went calling on Rainbow Dash with my idea to throw a surprise party for Pinkie. At first she wasn't too keen on the idea, seeing how hard it was to keep Pinkie in the dark and how depressed she became when she found us all avoiding her last time we tried to throw a surprise party for her. But when I outlined my plan, Rainbow Dash was all for it. Rainbow Dash likes a good prank, and throwing a surprise party for a surprise-party-pony like Pinkie Pie is hard to beat.

One way to surprise Pinkie is to enlist outside help. Rainbow Dash is going to use her connections to track down Cheese Sandwich and today I wrote to Pinkie Pie's sister Maud Pie. Maud is on a rock research trip in the Galloping Gorge (which cuts through the Equestrian Shield) where she is gathering data for her rocktorate in rock science. I want Maud to be a surprise in the surprise. The date that we choose to throw this party will depend on her availability. That's the when. There is also the where and how to roll in the surprises in waves. I need to speak to Rarity next. She's good with theater.

Oooo getting an awesome team together with an awesome plan! Nice!

Nice on paper, but still no check marks yet!

Once the check marks are there! Things can really start!

Good luck. It sounds like you're planning a significant conspiracy; those are tricky to keep under wraps even when you're not trying to fool Pinkie. You could use all the luck we can wish you.

But I agree this sounds like it will be pretty great if you can pull it off.

Last time we did manage to have a cake baked for her and to get party supplies without her knowing. The kicker was that we chose a day on which Pinkie had chosen to invite us to a party, creating a scheduling conflict. If we disguise the surprise as a picnic or some other event, we can avoid that scheduling conflict.
