- >You take a sip of warm tea while your gaze falls on a distant Ponyville bathed in yellowish-orange sunlight.
- >Celestia moves her sun ever closer to the horizon bit by bit.
- >You idly wonder what she's up to right nos but you push that away and take another warm sip.
- >Magic is a wonderful, wonderful thing.
- >Your tea remains comfortably warm even all the way out here on this hill.
- >Your eyes fall to the cup between your hooves.
- >You catch your reflection and almost lose yourself in it before the silence is broken.
- >"You know," Twilight begins.
- >You look up and bring your sight just above your cup and over the tea set to the lavender alicorn.
- >She gives you a content, albeit confused, smile.
- >"Of all the things I expected when I woke up this morning,"
- >She takes a sip.
- >"This wasn't one of them."
- >You open your mouth to respond but words just don't come.
- >Twilight continues regardless.
- >"Honestly. I woke up and just lied there for half an hour dreading what I was going to have to deal with today. Maybe a note form Cheerilee about some choice words you've said in front of your peers or maybe you get a wild tail hair and decide you are going to use spike to send something gross to Princess Celestia."
- >She continues to list emphasize each point with her wings.
- >"I'm still trying to dismantle that pyramid scheme of yours. Maybe you'll have goaded my friend's sisters into trying to break glass with their voices again. Heck maybe even a monster attack."
- >Her left primary coming down on a right pinion with each thought.
- >Several pinions later she comes out her train of thought with a blush and clears her throat.
- >"The point is that this is really nice. Uncharacteristically so. I don't think we've ever done anything like this before and I'm glad we aren't arguing over something and we just got to talk."
- >You really don't know what to say to that.
- >All you manage is a helpless smile and a blush.
- >You take another sip to drown out the awkward.
- >Normally you could deal with being put on the spot when you were giving somepony shit but not this.
- >You don't often hear compliments so you kinda don't know how to respond to them.
- >As if picking up on the fact, Twilight continues.
- >"Don't get me wrong, Anon. You drive me up the wall but that doesn't mean I don't like you. You are going to be a filly for a long time and I know you act out because its my fault. I understand. I'd be upset too. But that doesn't mean you can't grow to enjoy it I can't grow from your estranged caretaker to friend."
- >Okay, you were expecting sappy bullshit when you invited her here for tea but what the fuck?
- >Not that you mind but…
- >You place your cup down and run a hoof along your mane.
- "Laying it on kinda thick there ain'tcha, Purple?"
- >She just smiles.
- >It makes you smile.
- >Dumb cunt.
- >She magics away the tea set but leaves the blanket.
- >"I mean it though. Deflect all you but we will talk about this."
- "Listen, I'm not about to start talking about my feelings or not-"
- >Twilight stands and closes the distance between the both of you before you can protest.
- >She's hugging you.
- >Hooves and wings wrapped around you like… like some dumb thing.
- >You try and keep your shit together but you feel yourself start to lose the battle.
- >Mercifully however, she lets go and rises to her full height before you do.
- >You play it cool.
- "That was gay."
- >"Yes, and it made you gay too but that's besides the point."
- >You get the joke but it falls flat for you.
- >It really didn't.
- >Only accomplished the opposite honestly.
- >"We don't have to talk about anything right now but just know that I'd like to, okay?"
- >She starts to trot down the hill.
- >"Just think about it."
- >You watch her go and are left with three feelings anda thought.
- >You still feel the lingering sensation of her hooves and wings around you.
- >You feel a horrible tightness in your chest that threatens to burst fourth from your throat.
- >You feel a terrible bittersweetness that you can almost taste.
- >And all of it contrasts so greatly with the thought you have it makes you want to laugh at the absolute absurdity of it all.
- >Twilight magicked the tea set away and used her wings to emphasize points but uses neither of those to make her exit and hoofs it instead.
- >Stupid dumb horse thing.
- >You hiccup.
- >You have to wipe your eyes cause the hiccup made them leak.
- >Stupid hiccup.
- >It happens again and your eyes get leakier.
- >One might say you were trying to sob but they'd be fuckin liars.
- >You look at Ponyville from atop your hill again.
- >You look at a stupid purple speck on the next hill over getting smaller as it moves away.
- >Everything is bathed in an orange hue now as the sun still creeps ever closer towards the West horizon.
- >It won't be long now.
- >Okay, so maybe you are crying now.
- >In equal parts happiness to to all the sorrow.
- >And dread.
- >The worst part is that today was-
- >"Perfect."
- >Startled, you look over to your left just in time to see Pinkie Pie sitting on the blanket with you with an oddly subdued smile on her face.
- >She is also facing west.
- >"Today was perfect."
- >You'll never get used to that bullshit.
- "How do you-"
- >"Shush, silly filly. You won't get an answer out of me unless you can tell me why you made our friends last day perfect. Not a teensy weensy peep 'til then."
- >How…
- >"And maaaaaybe a little birdie told me that today was totally the end of everything as we know it and everything you did today made a heck of a lot more sense than 'Woowie, Anon sure turned over a new leaf today for no reason whatsoever!'"
- >Instead of dwelling on that…whaterver that was…you take the easier pill to swallow and find that you can't get it down either.
- >Why did you do this for them?
- >You did chores for Appul, modeled fru fru crap for Marshmallow, played rabbit sitter for Butterflutter, stroked Blue Fast's hot, wet, slick and steamy…
- >Ego.
- >You baked and pranked with pink horse and brought Twilight up here and didn't give any of them shit all day as you normally do.
- >If anything you planned on being an even bigger shit and doing some truly vile things cause it was the end but instead, well… you know the rest.
- >You really don't have an answer.
- >"Thank you."
- "Huh?"
- >"For caring enough to do all of this. It means a lot to me for what its worth."
- >You sniffle, trying to take control of yourself enough to speak.
- >It takes you a lot longer than you like, the sun noticeably lower.
- >You have questions.
- >There are things you'd like to ask but there just isn't that much time now.
- >As the sun sinks toward the horizon you feel an unnaturally cold wind begin to blow softly at your back.
- >It sends shivers down your spine and you let out a little whine.
- >Pinkie turns her head to look back and… and…
- >Her little smile melts into horror.
- >You need to say something.
- >Anything.
- >Witnessing Ponk's face do that is almost more frightening than knowing what's coming.
- >If you don't do anything you know you'll drown in your fear and start screaming and crying and never stop.
- "I-Is it worth a hug?" you ask, your quavering voice louder than you intended in near panic.
- >That manages to rip her trembling gaze from whatever it is she saw long enough to look at you.
- >There is a low ominous groan behind you like the sound of an impossibly large beast in pain mixed with the sundering of a great sheet of metal underwater.
- >Both of you flinch but you press on.
- >Its the only thing you can do not to scream
- "What its worth t-to you n' junk! Is it worth a hug?"
- >It takes far to many seconds for understanding to dawn on the pink pony.
- >Far to many noises of the approaching calamity occur in those seconds.
- >No doubt they were hearing this in Ponyville now.
- >"Yes. Yes it is, Nonny."
- >She scooches closer to you on your little unimportant blanket and throws her hooves around you in a tight hug.
- >You wished her hooves blocked out the sounds but at least her chest blocked you from seeing what was coming.
- >That fleeting thought was a mistake.
- >Slowly, you turn your head so your eyes peek under one of her pink limbs and you see.
- >Oh god you see.
- >Miles away, lie a encroaching wall of yawning black where all light seems to just stop.
- >The lands and trees and other things are being engulfed from the east alarmingly fast.
- >You start to scre-
- >And its gone.
- >The land, the black, and even Pinkie Pie.
- >You find yourself floating on a field of stars.
- >"You know, Anonymous, you could just try being polite and friendly and they would accept you readily and wholeheartedly as a friend rather than a nuisance or a villain. They've done the same for me."
- >Startled, you turn around just in time to catch a blue hoof on your nose before your eyes shoot open and you find yourself staring at a crystal ceiling.
- >Was that a-
- >Fuck.
- >Stupid fucking dreams.
- "Stupid fucking alicorns trying to get you to talk about your feeling like some kinda gay… uh… Gay."
- >You turn over on your fuzzy green side to get out of bed only to see a displeased purple alicorn.
- >Go fucking figure.
- "Well…"
- >She teleports a bar of soap to herself and she beckons you to the door with a hoof.
- "Shit."
