- IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! - Happy Birthday!!!
Oh I can't wait for her to open my present!
I'm havin' a little trouble figuring out what to get
for the party pony who has everything.
(PINKIE PIE GIGGLING) This is the best day EVARRRRR!!
And there's the added pressure of Pinkie being
the best gift giver in the world.
Remember the time when...
(GIGGLING)
My first clipboard!
Oh the To-Do lists to be done.
How did you know?
And then there's her gift at the orchard...
Hee hee hee!
Here we go!
A cowgirl hat sweatband!
- How'd ya know? - I just know.
This gift is perfect!
And it was perfect.
Darling, wanna take a look inside my beautiful noggin?
I was at the Grand Jamboree when I--
Eh Rarity, is this a birthday story?
Oh, uh, this one is.
RARITY: So I had just returned home from the Grand Jamboree.
On my birthday.
A chaise fainting couch!
Darling, how did you--
Do I know, or DO I KNOW?!?!
How am I gonna rustle up an idea for the perfect gift
in time for the party?
I'll make a list!
Whenever I'm stuck on what to get somepony,
I ponder the question, "What would I want?"
Nice sturdy pair of work boots?
I was thinking more along the lines of...
a diamond necklace, designer sunglasses,
or my great-great aunt's china set.
I don't know Rare,
those sound a little pricey...
Oh, pffft! Fine.
Let's be practical and unfun.
How about a sink? Or a lightbulb?
Or this fancy mirror.
Eh that's a toaster.
Oh well I don't know how to help you!
I am not a mind-reader.
I've got good news and bad news.
I've developed an algorithm to figure out what to gift Pinkie.
But it only comes up with items she already has.
NO!! I gotta know what she's thinkin'!
I gotta get in her head!
Oh that's it!
I'm taking a potion
to get inside Pinkie's head.
Only she can know what she truly wants.
Be careful!
If the inside of her head is anything like the outside--
It's bound to be a party in there.
Mhmm.
Ya-ba-do-bop-bop!
Doo-bop-do-ya!

Woah! (THUD!)

Eh P-Pinkie, Pinkie's brain?
It's eh, it's me, your old pal Applejack.
Listen, I'm havin' a hard time--
Sweet Applejack,
you're not gonna find any ideas for the perfect gift here.
The magic of birthday gifts is that they have to come
from you.
But but it's not about me. It's your birthday.
Sure, but the gift is about us.
It's about our friendship.
Hey, why is it so quiet in here?
APPLEJACK: There's, eh, nothing going on.
Sometimes nothing is everything you need.
Wow Pinkie, you're pretty deep!
I know. Now...
GO CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY!!
(GASPS) I think I've got it!
BOTH: Huh?
Darling, are you certain this is a good idea?
I'm not so sure Pinkie'll get it--
NOW LET'S CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY!!!
♪
Oh, oh--
I think I know who this is from.
How does she always know?
(EXCITED GIGGLING)
Nothing?
Oh when you already have everything you need
in the friends around you,
a little nothing goes a long way.
Thanks for nothing, Applejack.

How are ya'll not going stir-crazy?
Ugh!
I am NOT a happy camper.
Nothing ever changes around here
and it's starting to burn my grits!
You don't think my su-per awesome rainbow bran-muffin
is exciting? - Ugh!
Well somepony's gotta be up to something.
Pinkie, what are you doing today?
BOTH: Oh you know, the usual:
baking a fresh batch of cupcakes,
making sure they get delivered, mixing a potion or two
together to see what happens, who knows--HEY!
Stop saying what I'm saying! I knew you'd say that.
I knew you'd say THAT! Stop copying me! STOP IT!
Enough! Point proven!
Applejack, darling we get it.
We're a bunch of has-beens who never do anything new.
But what are you going to do about it?
Well shucks,
I haven't thought it out that far,
but it's gotta be something huge! Something drastic!
Eh skydiving? WAAAHHHHH!
Nope, too risky!
A whirlwind vacation to a tropical island?
No, too expensive!
What do I look like, I'm made of money?
A massive, immersive virtual reality simulation
that you can escape into whenever you want
but will maybe cause you to disassociate
and become stuck in a creation of your own design
that you won't be able to escape from,
making it more real than reality?
No, Twilight! Not even close.
Then what? What will you do if you're so bored around here?
- Something! - Some..thing!
- You'll have to wait and see! - You'll have to..wait..see!
That was harder than I thought.
And I suggest you all get trottin'
and do something yourselves, or else you're gonna be stuck
like this doing the same thing forever!
No. Please do not go...
Oh she's gone.
Hmm...
Huh?
VOICE: How about something... different?
Yeah!
♪
Whoa, nellie!
Hope ya'll are ready for something totally different!
Hey ya'll, take a good long look
at the new, exciting,
not-yer-everyday-average Applejack.
What? What did you do?
Eh... great manes think alike?
My mane. My moment.
My mane-moment!
We weren't trying to steal your thunder, Applejack!
We were inspired by your words!
You woke us up and made us want to shake up our lives too!
But you could have done anything! Why a mane cut?
Why this mane cut?!
A wild and crazy coincidence,
we weren't copying you!
- We all just wanted... - Something...different.
Well, I don't know what you're all saying.
I pioneered this mane-cut when I did a brief stint
on a very fun show about a group of companions.
The show I refer to of course was called... Chums.
- I'm sorry, Applejack. - I'm not Applejack!
Of course you're not, Twilight Sparkle!
I'm Twilight Sparkle!
Please, even with my eyes closed I'd know you were...
...Fluttershy? - I'm Fluttershy!
At least, I think I am.
OKAY! OKAY, OKAY stop!
- Applejack's right. - Urgh! I'M PINKIE!
And I'm gonna put a hoof through the floor if we don't all stop
this at once! This is ridiculous!
Now, we wanted to shake things up and do something different,
and I'd say we did that, wouldn't you all agree?
(UNENTHUSIASTIC GRUNTS)
We all got the same mane cut.
That's about the silliest, goofiest thing I can think of.
It's not an everyday thing. Not at all!
And I think there's only one thing to do about it.
(EXCITED LAUGHTER)
Wow, I guess the only thing I needed to shake my life up
was a bit of fun with my friends,
and it was right in front of me the whole time.
