Today is a beautiful spring day in Trottingham, and though adverse weather would certainly not stop ponyfolk, it is a perfect day for a party.

And although ponies need no excuse to party, today they have one. It is the cuteceañera of a pony of the Tanner family- a young, orange earth pony with a blue mane- who has recently obtained a cutie-mark of a lampshade. This obviously indicates her ability to party hard and could be interpreted no other way.

As with many cuteceañeras, this event is a rather public affair. The young pony's family, friends, classmates and their parents, friends of friends of friends, and newcomers to town are all generally welcome.

In short, such events can be an opportunity to meet new people.

Though some things may have been forgotten, preparations are over and the scheduled time is here. The prompt ponies should be entering the any minute now...

The young blue pony with the prominent glasses (and teeth) joins the party with little fanfare. It's not that other ponies ignore him...more that they tend to blot out his presence. Things happen to those unfortunate enough to take notice of him. Namely, he tends to take notice of them.

Despite the other partygoers' best efforts, before long, he's found himself a corner and two or three unwilling listeners who don't automatically bail on him only because he's so polite. And enthusiastic. Politely enthusiastic? Enthusiastically polite? Whatever they like to call him, escaping one of his excited lectures on whatever topic has caught his fancy is a delicate art, and leaving him talking animatedly to a tree or some other inanimate object a sport among those who have mastered it.

It's not that he's an unpleasant character. Far from it. But when he starts talking, there's no stopping him. And seeing how he's never encountered anyone in town who might match him in a conversation, he has no idea how to hold one without holding the floor the entire time.

"...and I felt like a total idiot! I was winding the mainspring 90 degrees clockwise when I should have been winding it 270 degrees counterclockwise! Gosh, that little mistake cost me a week of progress! Anyhow, I've got a working prototype of the manipulaticator up and running - just the left one for now - it pinches a little hard, but no one'll notice if I try it out on marshmallows instead of teacups. Maybe the digits need some softer padding - like little pillows or something!..."

Under normal circumstances, Special Delivery would be far too shy to join such a large event. The very idea of being around all those ponies is enough to render the poor pegasus catatonic. Which is why he would most assuredly not be attending the party.

Instead, his absolutely magnificent alter ego would be attending in his place.

"Swooping in faster than the eye can see! A red bolt of lightning strikes across Equestria! He drives love into the hearts of innocent, and pure, unbridled fear into the wicked! Yes, it is I! The infinite passion! The burning justice! The hope for the future, Crimson Wonder!"

Yes, it's Trottingham's self-proclaimed protector, the Crimson Wonder. When Special Delivery puts on the spiffy red coat, hat and mask, he can't help himself. He transforms from the most awkward and nervous pony in all of Trottingham into a dashing and theatric hero who'll rescue anyone, anywhere (as long as it's near Trottingham), at any time. He's normally seen with his trusty vulpine sidekick, Scarlett, but for casual party going, even he realizes bringing a wild fox to a social event isn't the best idea, no matter how well-behaved she is.

After the air show that marked his arrival, he descends into the crowd. He's a polarizing figure, to say the least. Foals look up to him, and most ponies his age find him amusing at worst. But there are also those who think of him as danger to himself and others, not that he really notices them. His entrance certainly turned a few heads, but most have already grown used to his over-the-top announcements.

Compass Rose trotted happily down a dusty dirt road, and concluded that, despite the dirt settling into the fur on her legs, She was having a very good day. She had woken up early, when the sun had filtered through the canvas of her tent and into her eyes, and had face a gentle downhill walk for most of the morning. She had passed a few farms on her way, stopping to ask their names so she could mark them down on her map, and one of them had invited her to lunch. She had accepted the invitation somewhat shyly, and they ate near a small stream. She had seen ducks. Now, she crested a small hill, and spotted a town, not too far from her. she checked the map that she had been making along her journey, and noted that it had been a few days since she had last encountered a town.

An hour or so later she entered the small settlement, and was a little surprised not to see any other ponies around. Making her way further into the town, the sounds of excited chatter and music reacher he ears. Curious, she wandered in the direction of the sound, and found herself looking at a large party.

"Huh," She said to herself, "That explains why nopony was around." She stood on the outskirts of the party for a while, wondering whether she should try to find an inn or join in the party, or if she would even be accepted into the party. Eventually, she decided there would be plenty of time to find a place to stay, and shyly meandered amongst the partygoers.

Looking around the party area curiously, she soon discovered that it was one of the younger residents cuteceañeras, and relaxed. She had stumbled upon a few such celebrations in her travels, and in small towns like this they were usually very open events, so she stopped worrying about being ejected as a party crasher. Her idle, direction-less walking soon found her a vantage point along a wall where she could watch from, and her eyes were quickly drawn to a oddly dressed pegasus gallivanting around to the delight of the many foals. She laughed inwardly at the strange pony, wondering if he was some kind of local performer.

Somewhere near the middle of the party, a yellow coated pony could be seen buisiy setting up an eisel and other other painting supplies. He had been hired by the parents of the pony who's cuteceañeras it was to paint a portarait of the pony in question.

He was known as Trottinghams resident artist, being talented in all kinds of art forms. Painting was one of his best talents, however, and that's what he was most known for. He owned the towns art supply store/art studio, and regularly taught art classes there. He was the friendly sort, and always tried to help whenever he could.

He had just finished setting up his supplies, and took a moment to look at the party around him. "Seeing as how I'm not supposed to start painting for a while, I may as mingle with the other party goers for a while," he thaught to himself.

Tossing her head Midnight Sky tried to shake off a case of the yawns that had been following her around all morning. Maybe taking that nap right after her nightly vigil wasn't the best idea. The plum coloured pony turned looking at the exciting party around her and headed for the table with all the drinks. A bit of punch should perk her up. On her way she would nod to anypony she knew and paused to congratulate the little Tanner pony for her cutie mark.

Midnight Sky had probably been one of the first ponies to show up for the cuteceañeras seeing as she had been up and awake since 11 at night watching and mapping the stars. A short nap around five or six in the morning left her ready to go into town at the late/early hour of 10 in the morning. She didn't know many ponies as well as she should, after all most ponies were safely asleep whenever she was up and about.

Peering out from behind a cart of ice cream, a nervous little white unicorn surveyed the crowd.

Vanilla Bean wasn't really comfortable around crowds... But she had to be here. Her sister, Cherry Sprinkle, was needed back at their shop, but the Tanners had already paid for an ice cream bar, and somepony had to make sure all the little colts and fillies had their frozen goodies.

So she'd loaded up a cart and trotted over, ten of Cold Comfort's most popular flavors in tow, resigned to her duty.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. In fact, maybe it was a blessing in disguise. After all, in adition to her regulars and a wide variety of toppings, cones, and pre-packaged treats, she'd secretly brought along something special.

A new flavor of her own devising.

Oatmeal raisin. Was she crazy? Or was she maybe, just maybe, on to something here?

No sense putting it off any longer. She took a deep breath... And shouted out to the crowd.

"Ice cream! Who wants to try the next flavor of the month?"

"...you should've seen the X-57 through the Y-33...it wasn't until the Y-34 that I finally figured out how to keep the axle from flying out and poking somebody in the eye. Good thing I wear thick glasses..."

A shout from somewhere catches his attention. "Ice cream. Be right back!" he says to a table, a crate and a slightly dazed foal before tearing off at full throttle in the direction of the ice cream bar, nearly bowling over at least two other partygoers in his charge.

As Artsy walked back towards the refreshment table, he heard some shouting. "Ice cream! Who wants to try the next flavour of the month!". Excitedly, he began making his way towards the source of the yelling. He loved Cold Comfort's ice cream, and it was his favorite snack whenever he had one of his sweet cravings. At last he arrived at the stand where the ice cream was being sold.

Vanilla bean stared wide-eyed at the crazed stallion charging towards her.

"...Maybe I shouted too loud... EEP~!"

She trotted out of the way, then turned to glare at the charging lunatic, mustering all her courage.

"H-hey you... Slow down!"

Her mind was racing. Was he just that excited? Was he crazy? Vanilla bean loved ice cream as much as the next pony... Probably more than the next pony, actually... But this was a bit excessive. She hoped he'd slow down, and tried to figure out if she could get the cart out of his way before he crashed into it otherwise, as much for the sake of her wares as for that of the overeager stranger.

She turned, looking for an avenue of escape, when her eyes fell on Artsy.

"Oh... Hey... Um, Artsy, right? Do you have a usual? Cherry tells me what some of our customers like... but I can't remember everyone."

Suddenly, she snapped back to reality.

"How about I owe you a gallon of rainbow sherbet if you help me move the stand a little real quick?"

Trailed by a small herd of foals begging him for stories and autographs, the Crimson Wonder makes his way to the star of this cuteceañera. Surely, the day couldn't go by without her getting to see the great defender of Trottingham?

He approaches the little pony and takes a bow, "I, the Crimson Wonder, am humbly at your service. What wish shall I grant for you on your special day?"

In truth, Special Delivery had never been to a cuteceañera before, but he was figuring it was like a birthday party. He'd been to a few of those before in full costume.

The blue pony comes to a screeching halt literally inches from the stand, right next to the other yellow customer.

"I'll help ya move it for free!" he says, smiling broadly, as he begins pushing the stand.

Yes, I'm well aware Vanilla Bean was asking Artsy to help her move it out of Square Root's path...he just completely misunderstood the request's context. And he's also moving it without bothering to listen to where she wants it moved. He's helpful like that. Just like that.

That was her ice cream he was messing with.

"For me? Well..."

Pausing to think, the filly glanced at one of the walls out of habit, then noticed the grouping of eccentrics by the ice cream stand.

"How about getting me some ice cream? Um, I want it to be a nice flavor though. Why don't you ask around to see what's popular?"

"...So you wouldn't crash into it, you maniac!"

She paused, catching her breath.

"Please don't run like that, You could hurt someone. Anyhow... It's my turn to do flavor of the month at Cold Comforts, my sister's ice cream shop... Well, mine too... But... I'm trying something new. Oatmeal raisin. So, I, uh... I brought a batch out for taste testing."

She took a step back, nervously, but seemed to regain confidence as she returned to her proper place behind the cart, her horn glowing a pale, icy blue as she used her magic to pick up an ice-cream scoop.

"Let's start over. I'm Vanilla Bean... And I'm here to serve everypony some ice cream."

Special Delivery eased up a little. Scarlett was still recovering from the last time he promised a foal a birthday wish.

"Then it shall be done!" he said, with a dramatic flourish of his wings. "To the ice cream stand!"

In a flash of red, he dashed over to the ice cream cart, where three other ponies were gathered.

"There's no time to explain! I need the greatest flavor of ice cream in all of Equestria, and I need it now! The future of Trottingham rests on it!"

Vanilla bean nodded, suddenly serious. Moment of truth. Time to see how her recipe stood up... Hopefully the little bit of cinnamon wasn't a mistake.

Focusing, she brought four cones up, allowing them to orbit her in a lazy circle as she dipped her scoop into the Oatmeal Raisin, bringing up a single scoop for each cone in turn.

"Four cones. Let your friends know thei... EEK!"

Vanilla Bean nearly jumped out of her horseshoes as the masked pony appeared out of nowhere.

"It... It's the neapolitan swirl! Take the bucket! Please just leave the oatmeal raisin and don't hurt me!"

"Urk!" Special Delivery winced. This sort of thing was adorable when it came from little colts and fillies, but from a full grown pony, it felt more than a little strange.

"Uh, sure, citizen!" He said, pulling a stamp out of his pocket with his teeth. "W-where do you want it?"

"Well, you ponies sure talk fast," He said to the ponies. "I haven't been able to get a word in, what with you all talking 60 mphs", Artsy said, a bit of a smile formining on his face.

"Anyways, yeah, Artsy's my name all right. I don't think I've seen too much of you around the parlor," Artsy said, motioning to Vanilla. "Usually it's just Cherry Sprinkles".

Ice Cream? Compass Rose thought to herself when she heard the shout, That sounds pretty good, actually, She nosed through her saddlebags to see if she had enough spare bits to spend on a treat, and seeing that her purse was still nice and plump, happily made her way to the cart, almost being bowled over by a very excited blue pony in the process. this must be some ice cream, she thought, stabilizing herself.

There seemed to be a bit of an argument amongst the conglomeration near the cart, and so she approached slowly, falling in line behind the blue pony that had almost knocked her over not a minute ago, just in time to hear to patron of the cart describing her 'flavor of the month'.

"Oatmeal Raisin ice cream," She though aloud, "That sounds crazy! How do you even make that into ice cream?"

Square Root looks between the stamp and the ice cream repeatedly. He's not used to navigating snap decisions. After a few seconds, he makes up his mind.

"Thanks for the ice cream!" Square Root says, grabbing his cone in his mouth. "Mf'll go tell mff friends to comff."

He turns to the Crimson Wonder. "Mf'll take it on the mffront-leff hoof whffn I gfft back, mf'kay?"

Finally, he bolts off at almost the same speed he arrived, though slightly more carefully with his precious cargo in tow.

Vanilla bean was briefly annoyed that the robber had decided to ignore her, and taken her customer, but her wounded pride was overcome by relief as she realized she'd been given a moment's reprieve.

"Yeah... I'm usually in the back... I keep the freezer neat, and I'm the backup cooler..."

With a smile, she concentrated, dropping the temperature around Artsy just the tiniest bit.

"Like I told Square Root... I'm in charge of flavor of the month for next month... So I'm working on an Oatmeal Raisin recipe if you'd like to try it and tell me how it is?"

She turned to the next newcomer with an enigmatic grin.

"Sorry, trade secret."
