Bitter Sweet Ending

“So… that’s really it?” I ask, looking to the pink Earth Pony floating next to me.

She sighs, looking sympathetically at me. “Yeah. It both is great and sucks the big one, huh?”

“I’m glad she at least isn’t actually an orphan,” I smile, looking out over the hill of Ponyville, the Crystal Empire a little off in the distance. “Still, it would’ve been nice had everyone gotten to read my life’s story.”

The pink filly nodded. “Tell me about it. I mean, Cadance finding a way to bring the Empire to sit right outside Ponyville so you don’t have to leave your friends behind? Sombra's return and you're coming to grips with everything, allowing you to beat him AND Grogar once and for all? Not to mention you becoming an Alicorn and the CMC getting your Cutie Marks.” She looks to the much bigger wings on my back and my horn, before frowning. “Though, they’re immortal too now. That’s a bit weird. Being tied to you makes them immortal as well.” She shrugs. “Well, at least Applejack and Rarity won’t have to mourn their sisters dying from old age anymore.”

“It’s just so annoying though,” I shake my head. “It was really hard to get over all that emotional baggage and now no one gets to read about it?”

She shrugs. “Them’s the breaks. Hasbro finally bringing Scoots’ parents into the mix after NINE SEASONS is both a blessing and a curse, huh?”

I chuckle. “You said it.” I sigh. “Well, at least I got to entertain people for a little, huh?”

She nods. “Besides, I think the author took off more than could chew with you. You’re emotional state was really bloody delicate, far more than they were planning, to the point they literally wrote themselves into a corner with you.”

“I hear that,” I shake my head. “I was really fucked up after that. I mean, what the fuck, Luna? Don’t really know how they could've written all that. Likely would’ve had to change the rating to M, with how dark it all got.”

The filly nods, before stretching. “Equestria’s entered its new age. Twilight and the others are the rulers of the land, Equestria’s allies are more closely bound than ever and the Empire has three princesses to protect it. I’d say, things are going to go just fine from on. But, ya know, call me if anything big comes up.”

I cock an eyebrow at her. “You like messing with other realties, don’t you?”

“Wouldn’t be a point to having Chaos Magic if I didn’t,” she shrugs. “Whelp, good luck with the future, Scoots. FiM is over, but whatever happens in this world is up to you now.” She winks. “Make it a good one.”

She teleports away and I look out over the horizon once more.

It’s sad one story is ending, but there are many others out there, yet to be told and yet to end.
