>>Celestia's light broke through the veil laid by Luna the night before
>>You pitied Luna
>>You understood her
>>That no matter how hard you worked...
>>The way of the cosmos would just overrule you
>>That's what seemed to happen in your case
>>If, indeed, the legacy of Lyra as a human WAS ordained by the heavenly bodies of Equestria and >>Earth, then you suppose you were pretty stupid to try and stop it
>>You sigh through your muzzle
>>Still, though
>>What does the future hold for you?
>>Your body will be gone within the hour
>>You will never again be human
>>As much of a human as you were, anyway
>>Really, you were more a shell than anything
>>Celestia made sure of that
>>But at least it was something
>>Now, you're a human spirit stuck in a pony body
>>Fuck, now you sound like Lyra
>>You sigh through your vented muzzle again
>>Nothing but forlorn hope n your cold stare off into nothingness
>>But you've been greedy, too
>>This wasn't just about you
>>It mostly was
>>But not all
>>It was also about BonBon
 
>>That psychotic wrecking ball of a butch
>>She still thinks you're Lyra
>>Alas, her true love will soon exit this world, along with everything you had left
>>And you will wither away, alone
>>BonBon will do the same
>>And the world will keep on spinning
>>Or whatever this planetoid does
 
>>There is a rustling
>>Oh, yes, definitely a rustling
>>You put it off as construction work taking place outside
>>Sounds like a chisel
>>But it's going way too fast to be a hand chisel
>>What were those machines from your world?
>>Jackhammers
>>But Equestria doesn't have jackhammers, does it?
>>Hm. You put it out of your mind
>>Except... it's getting louder
>>And... it's coming from under you?
>>There's a break in the ground next to you
>>It causes you to jump
>>Your eyes go wide
>>The break expands
>>Suddenly, a hard hat emerges from the ground
>>And under it is a pink globe
>>Two large, light blue eyes crank around to meet your gaze
>>The mystery mare smiles, and throws her hat off to reveal none other than...
>>“Hi Anon!”
>>Pinkie Pie
 
>>You breathe a sigh of relief as the Pink dynamo unfastens your muzzle
>>You feel so good to be out of that restricting leather and iron, and out of the straight jacket
Pinkie... is that really you?
>>“Yep! Just me, no one else!”
>>She gives you a huge grin
But how did you know I was Anon?
>>She races her speech, communicating physically as much as verbally
>>“Oh! That was easy! When you said you were going home that one night at Sugar Cube Corner... remember that? At Sugarcube Corner? Huh?”
Yes.
>>“Well I had a twitch! And a twitch is never good! See, a twitch in my tail means...”
>>She drones on and on
Pinkie!
>>“Oh, sorry! But then also, I heard that you were leaving Equestria!”
>>She acts out a huge gasp, her hooves squeezing her cheeks
>>Pinkie speaks at a million miles a second
>>“So then we threw a party, and you CAME!”
>>She put her hooves on the ground and leaned in to you, causing you to recoil
>>“But that's impossible, because you NEVER come to my parties, much less ASK for one! So I overheard Twilight talking about an incident in the library, and then Applejack and Rainbow said...”
>>But this one time, you found yourself so thankful for Pinkie Pie's intervention and her ability to deduce your situation, that you couldn't bring yourself to yell at her to stop
>>You were just... happy
>>Something you haven't been in a few days
>>You smiled at her
>>She stopped, looked at you
>>She noted your smile
>>She looked at you suspiciously
>>“...Are you sure you're anon?”
 
>>You frowned
>>“Just kidding! Hehehaha~!”
>>You joined her in an infectious chuckle, though you were much more reserved about it
>>You tapped a hoof against her shoulder
>>Normally you don't like to make contact with other people like that
>>But suddenly, you realized
>>You have less than an hour left!
>>You leaped up to your hooves
Pinkie! Do you know where the others are?!
>>“Well, DUH! That's what I've been trying to tell you!”
>>Your lids half close, waiting for her to go on
>>“They're over at the library!”
Great! Awesome!
Let's go, we don't have a lot of time.
>>You get ready to scramble down the tunnel when you stop for a second, prop yourself back up, and look to Pinkie Pie
>>She seems stumped by your lack of action and cants her head
Thank you.
>>You say
For being such a good friend.
>>She always tries to look out for you when you're around
>>She got you that job at the corner store
>>And she tries earnestly to learn more about you
>>And after all this time, you've never really told her how much you appreciated it all
>>Just yelled at her, and tried to push her away
>>She smiled
>>“You're welcome~!”
>>You looked down in the hole and began your journey
>>Time to force this thing to a conclusion
