Title: Love/Hate: Pinkie x Anon (Pony Universe) Author: goofygoob123 Pastebin link: http://pastebin.com/LfsVswKH First Edit: Sunday 9th of November 2014 02:34:52 AM CDT Last Edit: Sunday 9th of November 2014 02:34:52 AM CDT This is not my story at all. But it touched me heart, mate. And I believe it should be shared and continued. So I'll title it, and continue it one day in a Pinkie thread. But it'll always be this Anon's story.   >HE was gone now. >It had taken over a year and a half to get close enough to him to do it, but you did it. >Your heart was beating so loudly in your ears, you didn't even hear his screams as he fell. >It was such a rush! >A thrill! >Things were going to go back to normal now that he was gone. >No more listening to Twilight talk endlessly about how fascinating HIS species was. >No more Rarity nattering on about her latest creation for HIM. >No more Applejack endlessly praising HIS help around the farm. >No more listening to how 'perfect' and 'special' HE was. >HE was gone now. >All you had to do was to take the old path down to the foot of the cliff. >You were so happy, you could sing a song! >Finally, HE was no longer something you would have to hear about. >You vividly remember this morning. >Whistling a little tune, you started off down the path. >He came into Sugarcube Corner in his best suit, fiddling with something in his pocket. >His usual smug smile was replaced by apprehension. >You had thought that he had found you out. >That he might know what you had planned. >He hadn't figured you out though. >No. >You were far to clever for that. >He had asked you if you were free for this afternoon. >Nothing too different from the norm. >You spent most of your time with him. >Luring him into your trap. >Making him trust you. >Making him complacent. >You could even recall the praise you were given for finally getting him to come out of his shell. >If you had realized how dreadful that decision was, you would have just left him to himself. >Regardless. >You accepted the invitation for a picnic. >Just the two of you. >It was the perfect setup. >Far from prying eyes and open ears. >You lead him to a secluded area, at the edge of a cliff overlooking Ponyville. >As he admired the view, you took your chance. >Completely unprepared, he plummeted to the jagged and uneven earth below. >You slowly made your way down the cliff path, eager to see what you had done. >The walk wasn't that long. >You came upon his broken body soon enough. >From the stillness of his chest, it was clear that he was gone. >You almost danced with glee, until you noticed something clenched in his hand. >Curious, you used your hooves to pry his fingers open and read the clenched papers. >It looked like... some kind of cue cards. >Although stained with fresh blood, you could read them easy enough. >Several variations of your name were scratched out on the top card. 'Pinkie. I am so glad you decided to come with me---' >A thick black line obscures the next part. 'Pinkie, of all the mares I have met-----' >Several more times a sentence would start and end up scribbled out. 'Pinkie. We've been the best of friends almost two years now and I was wondering.... Would you want to be something more?' >Something icy began to prickle up your back. >The next card is heavily stained but you could make out a few key phrases. 'Remember.........Hearth's Warming Eve....... First year.......' >Memories came flooding back. >He came to see you, you were so busy that day at work you didn't have time to stop and talk to anypony. >He didn't ask to talk to you. >He just took a small booth in the corner and order a warm drink. >When things started to slow a bit, you had noticed he was still sitting in the booth, nursing another steaming mug and giving you a gentle smile. >You still liked him back then. >Before everyone else ruined that for you. >You sat across from him and complained about all the normally friendly mares and stallions of Ponyville being so rude. >He simply nodded, saying nothing just letting you vent. >When it was time to go back to work, he got up left a large tip on the table and gave you a tight squeeze before wandering out into the cold. >You shook your head at the bittersweet memory. >Another few phrases showed through. 'Never had a........... anyone before. Would you be my............ somepony?' >As you read more into them, your puffy mane fell flat and lifeless as your tears joined the blood on the paper. >As if to prove what you had already suspected, you ran your hoof over his chest. >A something hard and smooth was hidden in the suit's inner pocket, seemingly undamaged by his fall. >You carefully coaxed the little thing out from the pocket. >Your heart felt as heavy as lead as you opened the little box. >Inside was a necklace on a gold chain, with your cutie mark as a charm. >You flipped you tossed aside all the other cards, finding the last only lightly damaged card. 'Pinkamena Diane Pie. I know you don't have fingers, so I wasn't sure what to get you for this but.... Will you marry me?' >The reality of what you had done hit you all at once. >You had killed him. >Your friend. >The one of a kind man. >Anonymous. >You killed Anonymous on the day he was going to ask you for your hoof in marriage. >Celestia forgive you. >What have you done? >It began to rain. >The summer shower washed away most of the blood from Anon's peaceful face. >If you didn't know any better, you would swear he was only sleeping. >You knew what you had to do...   What does Pinkie do? Continue on with the guilt? Or join Anon?
