[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
However, Rainbow Dash lets her guard down for a split second, before finding herself in the mercy of a deranged Pinkie Pie. Tied up with streamers and gagged with a caramel apple, she discovers some nasty truths about Pinkie Pie during her "party," including the fact that the inanimate objects are supposed to be her friends, and are being ripped apart by Pinkie just like what's about to happen to Rainbow Dash! What was assumed to be a short struggle has turned into a life-or-death situation, as Rainbow Dash needs to use both her wits and speed to escape Pinkie's grasp. Reason is not an option.
A collaborative effort between Sparkler and Quill, ''[[Party of None]]'' explores the alternative to what could have happened in episode "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
The story can be found [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/party-of-none.html here].
