This alternate end occurs right before I broke the fourth wall and delivered the punchline, "It's Impossible."
This was it. Twilight watched from her microintelligent perspective as the universe began to distort and sever. Space and matter began to pull apart like the goop in a lava lamp. It separated, over and over again, recombining and splitting like cells in a Petri Dish. Within each segment, she could see another universe, birthing and dying. The pieces grew smaller and smaller until they were nothing more than single points in a firmament of black. Then, something even stranger began to happen. They began to pull like taffy, turning into big long lines of red and blue and green. They formed together into shapes: triangles, squares, hexagons, dodecagons, rapidly growing more and more complex until finally they bound together into polyhedra, pyramids, cubes, dodecahedrons, icosahedrons, and then those shapes began to fuse together until they were the shape of a massive pony, purple, she realized with a sudden jolt that she was looking at Twilight Sparkle, no longer a princess but a god, formed from a trillion universes, infinitely huge and powerful yet understanding and loving and she watched as the massive Twilight Sparkle trod slowly out of her view, and she suddenly felt so lonely, and she tried to call out, "No, Twilight! Come back!" but nothing came out from her voice, she realized she had no body, no vocal cords to speak, but she didn't feel afraid, no, she only felt lonely, she wished for something to fill the void again, she was nothing among nothing, then who was she? Then the sky exploded in color like fireworks and some landed on her but they didn't burn, they gave her shape, yes, a patchwork of color, red and green and yellow, but she wasn't a pony, just a mishmash of colors and sounds and sensations, and suddenly she was so afraid, she didn't understand, what was she, why was she here, what did the colors mean, who what when where why--
"Twilight! Wake up!"
"Mmhm, hrmm... huh?" Twilight's head snapped up as she suddenly awoke. She checked herself; she was back in her alicorn body once more. "Where am I?"
"Well, you ran away from the party all crazylike. I came back here to find you staring at the bookshelves, totally still, and you were mumbling to yourself something. Just a couple seconds ago, you fell asleep, so I woke you up."
"...Oh. Thanks, Spike." She yawned. "I must have started hallucinating. Man, I saw the weirdest things."
"What did you see?" he asked.
"Well, first I imagined that I disproved magic. Then everything else started to go too, like our color, our wings... I even managed to disprove pony speech and intelligence! Then I started seeing weird colors and shapes and stuff, then I saw me, only I was made out of universes, and... anyway, it was really weird."
"Then now you know," Spike told her. "No more 9-day-long study sessions."
"That's right." She laughed. "If I did it again, I'm sure I'd see something even stranger!"
"But I'm glad you didn't really disprove magic," Spike said. "Imagine if you really had."
"Yeah. I bet you could write four totally different endings if that happened!"
"Yeah, I bet. Now, come on, Twilight. You should probably go to sleep, for real this time."
"All right, Spike. Wake me up in about three days!" she added with a chuckle.
While Twilight went back to her bed, Spike heard a knock at the door. "Don't worry, Twi, I'll get it!" he called up to her. When he got to the door, he opened it to find a beautiful alicorn standing in front of him. Her coat, mane, and tail were composed of what looked like galaxies and stars, and she looked exactly like Twilight. She stared deeply at Spike, then intoned, "We are looking for Twilight Sparkle, the One who Sees."
Spike could only gape.
It´s... weird. Just weird.

Written completely extemporaneously in 30 minutes using the idea, "What if it was all just a dream?"
So in a sense, I'm glad you think it's weird.
EDIT: Oh, and technically, you can choose which of the five endings you want to be canon. My personal favorite is actually AE 1. The only reason the Prime Ending (with everything ceasing to be) is the one in Chapter 3 is because I felt it was the most natural. (It also has the title as the punchline. )
I think you broke the grammar universe with this run-on sentence

actually i meant all the endings

Ah, okay. Then thank you for confirming that I should keep the Random tag.

I'm sure you don't want me to explain the boring details of how a bird flys so I give you this i.imgur.com/rrxr4Oq.gif
This is some surreal shit. This is just what I'm dreaming. My dreamd are like LSD trips on crack and coffee.
How about Twilight is about to disprove everything and then Chrysalis flies in for revenge and captures her?

Uhh... Let me think about it.

The system... of magic. As in the explicitly metaphysical.
Also, Twilight's proof his flawed. Nothing contradicts magic, and countless testimonies, historical events, magical items, and cosmic mechanics support it. Just because she can't detect or explain it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, only that her equipment and theories are insufficient to the task. It's like an illiterate person declaring that written language is impossible.
Of course, as long as the princess of magic is convinced magic is impossible, the flaws in her logic don't matter. She believes it, and therefore magic is not permitted to exist. Magically. Best not to think about that too hard, lest the universe poke you in the brain.
Still, a most enjoyable story of the dangers of shoddily constructed and hastily applied logic. Thank you for it.
And that's why Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Please put a link at the beginning of each alternate ending to the following:
And rename this chapter "The True Ending" or "What Really Happened" with a link to this:
Nice idea. I rather liked the multiple endings.
Some of them are better than others... but there's a lot of ways to take this story, and you've explored many of them...
2901051 The multiple ending are cool. I personally think you could actually continue the last one where CosmoTwi shows up. I would love to read that conversation.
How about this: Liberty Prime comes in and provides the answer to Twilight's theories, aka MAGIC WORKS BECAUSE COMMUNISM. And Liberty Prime reacts as he normally would to communists.
Damn you and your meta humor!
Twilight, you should know science is dangerous.
