  1. >You've been married to Pinkie Pie for ten years.
  2. >The weather ponies have scheduled a rough downpour for this evening, and have begun moving dark clouds into position.
  3. >You and Pinkie Pie are pruning loose tree branches to help prevent damage to the town.
  4. "Hey Anon! Check it out!"
  5. >Pinkie Pie holds a twig with leaves on both ends just atop her upper lip, as though it were a mustache.
  6. >Laughing, you continue your work.
  7. >Suddenly, thunder booms across the sky. The sound is accompanied by strong gusts of wind.
  8. "Uh-oh, Anon! They must have started a little early!"
  9. >Rain begins pouring down as you and Pinkie begin to quickly walk home.
  10. >Looking around, you notice that everyone is in their homes; nobody else is outside.
  11. >Suddenly there is a blinding flash and a deafening roar as lightning strikes the tree right next to the pair of you!
  12. >Cracking fills your ears as the tree quickly falls towards you. Pinkie screams as you try to jump out of the way.
  13. >You land on your stomach. The tree's cracking stops and you realize you made it out unharmed.
  14. "Anon, help!"
  15. >Leaping to your feet, you turn to face Pinkie Pie.
  16. >The tree has landed on her, trapping her underneath its thick trunk.
  17. >For the first time, you see fear in Pinkie Pie's eyes.
  18. "I'll save you, Pinkie!"
  19. >Positioning yourself over the cotton candy pony, you reach under the tree. It's difficult to grip.
  20. "Anon." Pinkie's voice is weaker this time. "Please."
  21. >You struggle against the tree, trying your hardest to lift it.
  22.

  24.  
  25.  
  26.  
  27. >Veins show on your neck as you let out let out an instinctual growl.
  28. >Try as you might, the tree does not move.
  29. >Looking down, you see tears dripping from Pinkie's eyes.
  30. >Blood soils the ground around her.
  31. >Her breathing has grown weak and erratic.
  32. "Anon... I love you."
  33. >You wrap your arms around her as well as you can, knowing your time is short.
  34. "Pinkie! I can't lift it!"
  35. "It's okay, Anon... I know you tried."
  36. >Pinkie spends her final seconds in your embrace, with you crying into her hair.
  37.  
  38. >Years pass.
  39. >The other ponies don't blame you.
  40. >They try to support you and comfort you.
  41. >You still feel pain.
  42. >You still feel guilt.
  43. >Your back still bothers you, bringing up the memory of your failure each time.
  44. >It was all your fault.
  45. [spoiler]>All because you didn't train deadlifts.

  53. Criticism from anonymous:
  54. >"Hey Anon! Check it out!"
  55. >I personally would think Pinkie Pie would draw attention to something if it was huge (ie: puts on a G3 face), and would rather just do it if it was something small.
  56. >Those two sentences should have gone more like this:
  57. >You look up at Pinkie only to smile
  58. >She wears a miniature shrubbery on as a full on beard and pike helmet.
  59. >She twists her arm, going "Vroom, vroom. I'm bad to the bone, Anon."
  60. >Then she leaps up onto a bicycle that came out of nowhere, driving circles around you.
  61.  
  62. >Therefore, it avoids that overused mustache joke. I find some people take jokes from the show as a lazier way of doing humor while conforming to the pony's personality. Try to do a different take like the one above.
  63.  
  64. >Nice ending /fit/ Anon. I thought it would suck because of poorly done feels, but that spoiler really set it off for me.
