- >You've been married to Pinkie Pie for ten years.
- >The weather ponies have scheduled a rough downpour for this evening, and have begun moving dark clouds into position.
- >You and Pinkie Pie are pruning loose tree branches to help prevent damage to the town.
- "Hey Anon! Check it out!"
- >Pinkie Pie holds a twig with leaves on both ends just atop her upper lip, as though it were a mustache.
- >Laughing, you continue your work.
- >Suddenly, thunder booms across the sky. The sound is accompanied by strong gusts of wind.
- "Uh-oh, Anon! They must have started a little early!"
- >Rain begins pouring down as you and Pinkie begin to quickly walk home.
- >Looking around, you notice that everyone is in their homes; nobody else is outside.
- >Suddenly there is a blinding flash and a deafening roar as lightning strikes the tree right next to the pair of you!
- >Cracking fills your ears as the tree quickly falls towards you. Pinkie screams as you try to jump out of the way.
- >You land on your stomach. The tree's cracking stops and you realize you made it out unharmed.
- "Anon, help!"
- >Leaping to your feet, you turn to face Pinkie Pie.
- >The tree has landed on her, trapping her underneath its thick trunk.
- >For the first time, you see fear in Pinkie Pie's eyes.
- "I'll save you, Pinkie!"
- >Positioning yourself over the cotton candy pony, you reach under the tree. It's difficult to grip.
- "Anon." Pinkie's voice is weaker this time. "Please."
- >You struggle against the tree, trying your hardest to lift it.
- >Veins show on your neck as you let out let out an instinctual growl.
- >Try as you might, the tree does not move.
- >Looking down, you see tears dripping from Pinkie's eyes.
- >Blood soils the ground around her.
- >Her breathing has grown weak and erratic.
- "Anon... I love you."
- >You wrap your arms around her as well as you can, knowing your time is short.
- "Pinkie! I can't lift it!"
- "It's okay, Anon... I know you tried."
- >Pinkie spends her final seconds in your embrace, with you crying into her hair.
- >Years pass.
- >The other ponies don't blame you.
- >They try to support you and comfort you.
- >You still feel pain.
- >You still feel guilt.
- >Your back still bothers you, bringing up the memory of your failure each time.
- >It was all your fault.
- [spoiler]>All because you didn't train deadlifts.
- Greetings from /fit/.[/spoiler]
- Criticism from anonymous:
- >"Hey Anon! Check it out!"
- >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.
- >Those two sentences should have gone more like this:
- >You look up at Pinkie only to smile
- >She wears a miniature shrubbery on as a full on beard and pike helmet.
- >She twists her arm, going "Vroom, vroom. I'm bad to the bone, Anon."
- >Then she leaps up onto a bicycle that came out of nowhere, driving circles around you.
- >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.
- >Nice ending /fit/ Anon. I thought it would suck because of poorly done feels, but that spoiler really set it off for me.
