Festival Frenzy

The group made their way to the main stage, eager to participate in the afternoon parade. As they arrived, they found a sea of colorful characters, all gathered to watch the festivities. The sound of music filled the air, and the smell of delicious treats wafted through the crowd. Pinkie Pie bounced up and down with excitement, her eyes shining with anticipation. The parade began, and the group watched in delight as floats, marching bands, and even a few of Equestria's most famous celebrities made their way down the street. Spike, being a dragon, was fascinated by the giant balloons and elaborate costumes on display. He laughed and cheered along with the rest of the group, enjoying the spectacle. As the parade came to a close, the group decided to do some shopping. Rarity led the way, browsing through a stall selling exquisite jewelry and clothing. Applejack headed to a nearby booth, sampling some of the delicious-looking apple cider on offer. Pinkie Pie and Spike wandered off, looking for something fun to buy. Spike's eyes landed on a stall selling dragon-themed merchandise, and he eagerly began to browse. He picked up a few items, including a t-shirt and a toy dragon, before suddenly remembering that he really needed to use the bathroom. "Uh, Pinkie Pie, I think I'm going to go find a restroom," he said, trying to sound casual. Pinkie Pie nodded, distracted by a nearby stall selling colorful balloons. "Okay, Spike! I'll meet you back here in a few minutes." Spike made his way to a nearby restroom, looking for a private stall with a toilet. He found one and quickly locked the door behind him. As he was, ahem, taking care of his business, he heard the door to the stall creak open. He looked up to see Pinkie Pie standing in the doorway, a look of surprise on her face. Spike's eyes widened in embarrassment as he quickly covered himself with his wings. "P-Pinkie Pie! Uh, I... I didn't expect...!" Pinkie Pie's eyes widened in surprise, and she took a step back, her face turning bright pink. "Oh, Spike! I... I didn't mean to interrupt! I'll just... uh... go back to the festival." Spike's face burned with embarrassment as he tried to compose himself. "N-no, it's okay, Pinkie Pie. Just... just give me a minute, okay?" Pinkie Pie nodded quickly and backed out of the stall, closing the door behind her. Spike let out a sigh of relief and finished what he was doing, his face still burning with embarrassment. He couldn't wait to get out of there and rejoin his friends, hoping that Pinkie Pie would forget about the awkward encounter.
