Episode 25	Party of One	Aired: April 29 2011
Pinkie Pie goes door-to-door inviting her friends to a party but as she gets to Rainbow Dash, her energy has decreased enough to turn her dance into barely moving to her own song. When she gets to Fluttershy's house, she manages to make it through the rest of her song before collapsing. Back home, she makes a self suggestion to hand out invitations next time. Later, her friends arrive and while a few are dancing, Rainbow Dash and Applejack try to show off how bobbing for apples is done but Pinkie Pie comes over before Rainbow Dash can have another go and says that she's happy everyone came to Gummy's (her pet baby alligator in case you didn't know) party. They wouldn't miss it for the world.  PP watches RD bob another apple, saying it's just a boring old apple (not realizing that she's showing her bobbing for apples skills).  Rarity asks about her drink being the same recipe from the Spring has Sprung party but is told it's something new (as Gummy secretly hides in the glass). Rarity spits out the mouthful of "punch" when she finds out it's Gummy's favorite, then nervously takes another sip and spits it back out into the nearby plant pot. Pinkie Pie's jam comes on her (radio station?) and the three of them dance (it's a slightly different version of what I call the "Cutie Mark Crusaders Searching" theme and you can compare it with the scene in "The Show Stoppers" when the CMCs are using their map to find their cutie marks, which last I checked has been posted on YouTube). As Pinkie Pie dances, she accidentally kicks Fluttershy away before cheering Gummy on with his/her's dance, literally making him/her the center of attention. Later that night, the ponies leave as Pinkie Pie reminds them there's still cake left. Twilight says they should do another party soon and Pinkie Pie takes up the idea the next day, She hands out the invites to everyone, none of which are thrilled and come up with an excuse not to go, getting the same "I'm unsure what is meant by 'this afternoon' reaction but she knows Fluttershy and RD are about so say it so she says it for them and the two of them try to tell a convincing enough lie, then leave. Back home again, PP finally feels something is off about everyone not being able to make it to the after party. She catches Twilight quietly sneaking about below and into Sugar Cube Corner.   Inside, Twilight confirms Pinkie Pie's absence before Pinkie Pie drops one of those homemade telephones with the cans on each end and Twilight doesn't notice the can in front of her as Pinkie Pie above tries to retrieve it but Twilight only gets her nose inside the can. When she pulls her nose free, her nose is more square. She sneaks back out with a box on her back  and PP following in disguise (exact opposite of what happened in "Feeling Pinkie Keen"). Now in a haystack, PP watches as Gummy sneezes up top and Twilight hands the box off to Rarity, the two have a brief secret chat, then the box is handed off th Fluttershy. PP runs into some wall, then into Fluttershy, whom is spooked into flying away with the box. PP thought they loved her parties. RD sees right through the disguise, then realizes that PP is who they're trying to avoid running into so she bolts off with PP being at her every hiding place (and getting more insane by the second). RD's flight takes her into AJ's barn where PP isn't too convinced about the "construction" AJ talks about (and who would with the clearly fake noises RD is making?). PP leaves, still pretty annoyed, letting everyone in the barn breathe a sigh of relief. PP is now more determined than ever to find out what's going on and offers Spike a plateful of gems if he can talk about the others' plans. It takes a few tries but Spike says it (though not because he admits it, he was told to say it. He probably has no idea about the party at all). PP realizes they don't love her parties anymore and her hairstyle literally goes flat. At the after party, PP goes insane to the point of creating guests with rocks, turnips and a sack of flour, giving them each their own personality. RD is at the door and is let in, disturbed by PP's actions. PP's "friends" protest that she's not going anywhere so RD, having had enough, literally drags PP to the barn. Once inside, PP is shoved forward and goes on a rant about how the party is a farewell party for herself but once the others give a proper explanation, she returns to her normal energetic self. AJ turns on the music and starts the party as Twilight recites her letter to Celestia, then joins in the fun herself. Even Gummy gets in on the fun and catches a balloon in his/her's mouth.
