Cloud managed to miss a good deal of Pinkie's rambling, and possibly for the best considering some of the details that were dropped. No, his attention was mostly on the banner that had been unfurled and the words on it. It wasn't that he had been trying to hide anything but he was pretty sure he hadn't mentioned his birthday to Twilight, let alone to this pony.

"What's going on here? How did you know my birthday is coming up?" He finally turned to Pinkie, wobbling a bit on his excess of legs. This pony thing wasn't so bad as long as he wasn't thinking about it but right now he was pretty well aware of himself and the situation.
