甜贝儿心里想:“小薇肯定能办一个最棒的派对的。”当太阳落山的时候,整个小马镇公园都布满了闪闪发光的彩带和散发着光芒的气球,三个皮纳塔摆在一张桌子旁,桌上摆满了甜贝尔能说出名字的各种糖果,有些糖果甚至连名字都说不出来。
 

 
当童子军把莉月带进公园的时候,她有些不知所措,感到有点退缩。看起来小马国的每只小马都来参加生日聚会了。甜贝儿看到了车厘子小姐班上的大部分同学,包括剪剪和蜗蜗,她们正摇摇晃晃地走出公园,手里拿着装满糖果的袋子。甜贝儿向正在舞台上演唱的梦之声合唱团里的瑞瑞挥蹄致意。在附近,小马们和年龄更小的小马驹们在地上堆成的一堆蓬松的云彩上蹦来蹦去,欢笑不断,而看起来珀月是这里唯一一只没有玩得开心的小马。
“我先去喝一杯。”她说道:“快去做你的事,我们很快就要走了!”
小萍花反对道:“但你们才刚来!” 珀月没有理会她,快步走开了。
莉月解释道:“我姐姐在满月的时候总是表现得很奇怪,”然后又补充一句:“好吧,更奇怪。”
这时一个戴着眼镜又戴着头饰的精力充沛的飞马在她飞奔过来迎接她们时叫了起来:“小萍花甜贝儿飞板璐!”
童子军们也齐声喊道:“生日快乐,小薇!”
“很高兴你们能来参加我的派对!这位是?“小薇微笑着问莉月,独角兽后退了一点,不知道该怎么办。
“这位是莉月。”甜贝尔边说边把那位紧张的朋友往前推。“她是新来到小马镇的。”
莉月平静地回了一句:“嗨。”当小薇用蹄子紧紧抱住她时,她吓了一跳。
小薇高兴地说道:“欢迎来到我的派对!要玩得开心哦。别忘了把你的脸洗一洗哦!”之后开心地飞走了。
小萍花对莉月笑了笑:“看到了吗?你已经适应了。”
这时传来一个响亮的声音:“生日蛋糕来了!”甜贝尔看过去,看到萍琪派在马群中蹦蹦跳跳,推着一辆小推车,推车上放着点缀得闪闪发光的一个巨大的三层彩虹漩涡蛋糕,蛋糕旁边是一个较小的骨头形状的花生酱蛋糕。嘎米也在车上,他张开嘴想咬一口,但萍琪及时拦住了他。“别傻了,嘎米。那蛋糕不是给鳄鱼吃的。是给小薇的那只小狗的!”
嘎米若有所思地舔了舔他的眼球。当萍琪派在人群中蹦蹦跳跳的时候,童子军们急匆匆地追了过去。突然,那只粉红色的小马抬头看了看天空,停了下来,僵住了。当嘎米从推车上滑下来时,甜贝尔差点撞到她身上。
甜贝尔问道:“萍琪派?你没事吧?”
萍琪派叫道:“哦我的天哪!你们看到天空上的月亮是有多大了吗?”然后把蛋糕服务工具全塞到满脸惊讶的可爱标记童子军的蹄中。“能帮我照看一下蛋糕吗?我只需要去做一件非常非常非常小的事情,好的非常感谢再见!”之后萍琪派飞速离开了,留下了一片尘埃。
莉月扬起眉毛问道:“她总是这样的吗?”飞板璐、甜贝儿和小萍花用眼神互相看了一下。
童子军一起说道:“嗯哼,是,差不多。。”她们开始切起了蛋糕,并且分发给聚会现场的各位小马,现场响起了狂欢声直到。。。
“救命!救命啊!”从公园的对面传来了喊声,舞台上的梦之声合唱团的歌声戛然而止,小马们都转头看到蜗蜗和剪剪跑进了派对现场,他们看起来脸上都带着恐惧,蜗蜗快喘不过气,喘了口气说道:“它。。。过来了。。。在我们后面!”
“什么?”小薇飞了过来问道:“是什么在你们后面?”
“一个怪物!”剪剪急忙说道:“我们正走出公园,然后它忽然袭击了我们!”
“它个子很大,有爪子!”蜗蜗点了点头“还有很大的牙齿!”
“一个怪物?这我倒是一点也不惊讶。”珠玉冠冠大声地叫道:“可能是她邀请过来的。”她边说边用蹄子指向莉月。小马们都转过身来看了莉月,莉月又瞪了她们一眼。
她肯定地说道:“这跟我没关系。”
小萍花激烈地表示自己赞同的态度,“是呀!她一直都和我们在一起!”其它童子军成员也点了点头。小薇的父亲走上去问剪剪和蜗蜗:“你确定你们不是遇到了我为派对雇的角色扮演的小马吗?”他边问边指着几只穿着小猫和小狗的角色服装的小马。剪剪和蜗蜗摇了摇头,回头望着公园的入口。
“不是。因为它就在那。。。那怪物就在那!”
甜贝尔转过头去看到了证明剪剪和蜗蜗说的是对的:公园入口处的阴影里站着一个笨重的、黑糊糊的东西,它向后倾斜着仰着凶猛的头颅嚎叫了起来。
莉月喊道:“那是一只木精狼!”
木精狼冲进了派对现场。

英文版:
 
Zipporwhill really does have the best parties, Sweetie Belle thought. All of Ponyville Park shone with light-spangled streamers and glowing ballons as the sun set. Three pinatas dangled near a table laden with every type of candy Sweetie Belle could name—and even some she couldn’t.
 
Lilymoon hung back, a little overwhelmed, as the Crusaders led her into the park. It looked like everypony in Equestria had shown up for the birthday bash. Sweetie Belle spotted most of Miss Cheerilee’s class, including Snips and Snails, who were staggering out of the park with goody bags overstuffed with candy. Sweetie Belle waved at Rarity, who was performing onstage with the Pony Tones. Nearby, colts and filies laughed as they bounced on a pile of fluffy clouds heaped on the ground. Ambermoon was the only pony who didn’t seem like she was having fun.
 
“I’m getting a cup of punch,” she announced. “Hurry up and do your thing. We’re leaving soon.”
 
“But y’all just got here!” Apple Bloom objected. Ambermoon ignored her and trotted off.
 
“My sister always gets weird around the full moon,” Lilymoon explained, then added, “well, weirder.”
 
“SweetieBelleScootalooAppleBloom!” an energetic Pegasus in glasses and a tiara called as she zoomed over to greet them.
 
“Zipporwhill! Happy birthday!” the Crusaders exclaimed in unison.
 
“I’m so glad you made it to my party! Who is this?” Zipporwhill asked, smiling at Lilymoon. The Unicorn backed up a little, unsure what to do.
 
“This is Lilymoon,” Sweetie Belle said, nudging her nervous friend forward. “She’s new to Ponyville.”
 
“Hi,” Lilymoon,” Lilymoon said quietly. She was startled when Zipporwhill threw her hooves around her in a fast hug.
 
“Welcome to my party! Have fun, okay? Don’t forget to get your face painted!” Zipporwhill exclaimed happily, then flew off.
 
“See? Yer fittin’ in already.” Apple Bloom smiled at Lilymoon.
 
“Birthday cake comin’ through!” a loud voice announced. Sweetie Belle looked over to see Pinkie Pie bouncing through the crowd, pushing a cart with a massive three-tiered rainbow-swirl cake with glitter sprinkles. Next to it was a smaller peanut-butter cake in the shape of a bone. Gummy Snap, also on the cart, opened his jaws to take a bite, but Pinkie stopped him just in time. “Don’t be siily, Gummy. That cake’s not for alligators. It’s for Zipporwhill’s puppy!”
 
Gummy licked his eyeball thoughtfully. The CMCs hurried after Pinkie Pie as she bounced through the crowd. Then suddenly, the pink pony looked up at the sky and stopped, frozen in place. Sweetie Belle almost crashed right into her as Gummy slid off the cart.
 
“Pinkie Pie? Are you okay?” Sweetie Belle asked.
 
“Oh my gosh! Do you see how big the moon is ?!” Pinkie said, shoving the cake-serving tools into the hooves of the surprised Cutie Mark Crusaders. “Can you take care of the cake for me? I just have to do one liiiiitle thing. Okaythanksbye!” And Pinkie zipped off at top speed, leaving a dust cloud.
 
“Is she always like that?” Lilymoon asked, raising an eyebrow. Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom shared a look.
 
“Yep. Pretty much. UH-huh,” the Crusaders all responded. They began cutting the cake and passing it out to the other partygoers. Everypony was having a blast until…
 
“HELP! HELLLP!” Shouts came from across the park. The Pony Tones stopped singing, and everypony turned to see Snails and Snips come racing into the party. They looked terrified. “It’s…after…us!” Snails gasped, trying to catch his breath.
 
“What? What is after you?” asked Zipporwhill, flying over.
 
“A monster! We were walking out of the park and it attacked us!” Snips said in a rush.
 
“It was huge, with claws!” Snails nodded. “And big teeth!”
 
“A monster? I’m not surprised,” Diamond Tiara said loudly. “She probably invited it.” Diamond Tiara pointed a hoof at Lilymoon. The ponies all turned to look at Lilymoon, who glared back at them.
 
“It wasn’t me!” she said defiantly.
 
Apple Bloom agreed fiercely. “Yeah! She’s been with us the whole time!” The CMCs nodded. Zipporwhill’s father stepped forward to speak to Snips and Snails.
 
“Are you sure you did not just encounter the character I hired for the party?” he asked, gesturing to several ponies in large puppy and kitty costumes. Snips and Snails shook their heads, looking back at the park entrance.
 
“No, because they’re over there…and the monster is right there!”
 
Sweetie Belle whirled to see that the colts were right. A hulking, dark from stood in the shadows at the park’s entrance. It tilted back its fierce head and howled.
 
“It’s a Timberwolf!” Lilymoon shouted.
 
The Timberwolf charged into the party.
