I’m sure there’s a perfectly boring, normal explanation for this moment. Someone might have knocked a few balloons into the elevator on another floor, and they just happened to get kicked out right under this young lady.

But I prefer to imagine that she was just wandering around with a hoop skirt full of balloons, which she released at random intervals. It’d hardly be the oddest thing that happened that weekend.

…that, or she was just Pinkie Pie.
