[He stares down at the key. The key that was once the only friend he ever had, for such a long, long time. But Boneless had always been Pinkie's, in his mind, she'd just loaned him to him. The rubber chicken gave him the strength to learn how to be a better pony. A little companion to help him learn how to make friends who could actually talk back. ]
So he helped you girls save Equestria?
[High aspirations, for such a little rubber chicken. There's a twang of pain there, for a lost friend, but he has done so much more. Cheese looks up from the key and sees how broken up Pinkie is about it and can't help but offer her a small, encouraging smile. He'd do anything for her not to be sad. Her being sad is just...wrong. It's not how the universe should be. She's Joy Incarnate.]
Hey, it's okay. I'm glad he was so important in everything. It's super important you all stopped Tirek. I mean, you're our heroes. If you hadn't stopped him, who would?
Y-yeah, he did... And yeah, it would've been hard to stop Tirek without him. And Twilight wouldn't have her new castle after Tirek burned the library down... And that feeling... I was bursting with so much joy I couldn't keep it all to myself if I wanted to! I wouldn't have been able to give everypony back their magic without him at all. Or you, if you hadn't given him to me.
He clears his throat, pawing the ground awkwardly with one hoof at that last comment. Next to her, he's not much at all. He was just paying forward what she gave him.]
Well. I mean, technically he was yours in the first place anyway. After everything you did for me, you deserved to have him back.
[Yup. Luckily, the castle library gave her space to rebuild her collection and then some.
Still, those denials earn a little head shake, even as her smile grows warmer and more tender.] But he was YOUR friend forever and ever, right? And your co-party planner. That's a special bond, and it meant a lot to you AND me that you gave him back, right?
[That little smile just melts his heart, really, and not for the first time in his life. She's just so good and decent, putting everypony before herself, no matter what. He tries to emulate her, but he knows he'll always just fall short of the heights of sheer goodness she lives on.
He's put her on a pedestal and he's happy for her to stay there. ]
Right! It absolutely meant a lot! [Because she means a lot. ] I'm glad he went on to something so important, really.
[Ohhh trust me, everypony's got weaknesses, and she's no different. He saw her on one of her worst days, after all.]
That he did. Maybe we can slip a little toast to him during our party.
[And then the bittersweet evaporates into just sweet and her smile it its old self again... and moves to tuck the key away again before pausing, and then holding it out to Cheese again, even more so than before.]
Silly me, should probably offer him to you first.

[And yet she's still the most perfect being to ever be. ]
I'd like that, and I know he would, too.
[He smiles softly, shaking his head. ]
Naw, he belongs to you now. I meant what I said, I wanted you to have a memento of my visit. [Of him, he wants her to have a memento of him. ] I'm always on the road, it'd be nice to have a little bit of me in Ponyville. [With her.]
[For once, Pinkie DOES pick up on that twang, but it only earns a blink before she smiles again and gives him a quick full-body nuzzle, like a cat against a leg but briefer.]
Aw, spending more time with you is pretty great for me too. Especially since we didn't get NEARLY enough of it last time!
[Because she was too busy moping, job hunting, and Goofing Off to make the most of their party planning time together. That's what she means.]
Heehee, silly Sandwich! It's the Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness! It's only one of THE most super, most spectaluar, most delicious cakes EVER! It's the PERFECT Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich cake!
Mmmm that is it! I can't WAIT to see how you are with cake!
[And here they are at Sugarcube Corner!]
Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Cake, guess what? Cheese Sandwich is back in town, and we're gonna be throwing another party together! Gonna use the bakery for a bit, BRB!
[And zip away into the kitchen they go before the Cakes can ask TOO many questions.]

Okey-dokey-lokey, then.
[And without further ado she tucks the key away. Maybe she should get a necklace to put it on, that'd be nice.
In the meantime, she grins at Cheese again.]
Alrighty, now who's ready to plan the biggest, bestest Two Best Party Ponies Ever Comeback Special EVER?
no subject
You better believe I am! We're gonna have the best blast ever!!!
[A pause, then perhaps a touch nervously- a twang of the shy colt he used to be creeping in there.]
And spending some time with you would be pretty great too.
