Epilogue

Epilogue

Twilight exited her bathroom after brushing her teeth, finally glad to have the long day behind her. She had just made sure that her little dragon assistant had turned in for the night, and gave her spell book collection one last reorganizing. Levitating a novel off of her nightstand, she crawled into bed and settled beneath the covers as she turned the lights in the bedroom down low. Only the sound of crickets outside the window broke the silence as Twilight sat reading peacefully for a good several minutes.

"Hi Narrator." She said.

Oh thank goodness! I thought I wasn't coming through just then.

"I thought you were out with the girls." She looked up.

Nah, I've had enough socializing for a while. Did you just notice me coming in?

"No, I just...like hearing your voice, that's all."

Oh...I like hearing yours too.

Twilight smiled a bit to herself. But a frown quickly grew as she paused to think for a moment. "Um...Narrator...about everything that happened today, I just want you to know that..." she sighed. "There's nothing I can possibly say to make up for-"

Twilight...?

"...Yeah?"

You don't have to say anything. I know what you mean.

"Are you sure?" she replied. "Because I completely lost it. I misused you and took you for granted. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. How can you even speak to me again after all that?"

The truth is, Twilight, I wouldn't want to be away from you, even if you tried to take away my powers. Nothing would stop me from coming back. I know I've said before that I simply like narrating your life's stories. But over these past months, I've really begun to know who you are, the real you. I've found myself valuing our friendship so much that I dread to part ways with you. You're just that amazing, despite whatever flaws you may have. I know now that you would never try to hurt me. And I'm especially grateful that you saved my life.

"You really mean that? Because I thought you might have died."

Almost. It's hard to explain the basis of my powers. When they were cut off, it nearly sucked every ounce of energy out of my being. But somehow your magic with the Elements of Harmony revitalized me, enough to regain my speaking powers. Not even I could find a word for that experience. And I think that just proves my point. You really are an amazing pony, Twilight.

With another pause, Twilight tried to smile again, but looked away when a different thought came into focus.

What's wrong?

"I think you're amazing too, Narrator." She said, with a slight grin. "And I'm relieved to have your voice back. But...sometimes I just wish I could experience more than that. I know it might be selfish of me to say, but there are times when I wish I could...feel your presence, physically. I can sense that there's a living being around me. There's a certain...warmth about it. Deep down, I just want proof that that being is real. But I know that you don't want to reveal too much of yourself. So I understand. I don't want to start that whole mess again."

......

"Narrator?"

...Hold on a second.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, to Twilight's surprise, her closet doors gently folded open, revealing the wardrobe hung and stacked inside. Then, as she watched in bafflement, some of the clothes began to stir with movement. Immediately, a few jackets began to float off of their hangers and through the air, followed by other various articles of clothing, from robes, to pajamas, to scarves. Twilight looked on as the clothes floated together without any sign of recognizable magic.

"Narrator, you're not misusing your powers again, are you?"

This time I know what I'm doing. As the clothes levitated, they then started to bundle together. They twisted and tied themselves through one another, with even more floating clothes on the way from the closet. Soon, the bundle of possessed clothes began to take on a shape, getting bigger and bigger by the second. At last, one more bathrobe fitted itself around the shapely bundle until Twilight was now staring at a life-sized model of an average pony. The model stood on its slipper hooves like a blank mannequin.

Twilight stammered as she sat on the edge of her bed. "Wha...I don't...I don't understand."

You said you wanted to feel something real, right? Then, with hardly a sound, the pony figure started to move. Its body lurched slightly as its legs lifted in motion, until the entire model was trotting over to the bed, with anatomic accuracy. The clothes pony approached Twilight who grew weary of this bizarre sight. But then, she was caught off guard as the clothes pony leaned in and wrapped its soft hooves around her in a hug. Twilight gasped. Not only was she simply feeling the weight of the bundle of clothes, but she could also feel a familiar source of warmth, one that could only be found in the presence of another. It was as if a real living pony was underneath all of that fabric.

"Narrator?" said Twilight, relaxing under the warmth. "Is this you?"

Eh, not quite but close enough.

After a moment, Twilight finally smiled and squeezed the animated clothes pony, returning the hug. "You do realize that this is incredibly weird, right?"

I think we're way past the threshold of weird.

"Good point." Twilight then sat back in bed and lifted the covers near the strange bundle.

The clothes pony then climbed onto the bed and positioned itself beneath the blankets, keeping together the materials that held up its form. After magically turning off the lights, Twilight slid herself closer to the mannequin and wrapped her hooves around to snuggle it. She held the pony form close to her as she nuzzled her face in the soft fabric, believing dearly that she was holding a real physical being, just as she had wished. In response, the clothes pony held her tight as well. Closing her eyes, Twilight spoke softly.

"I hope you never leave me, Narrator."

Me too, Princess. I'll always be yours.

THE END

Author's Note:

Thank you all for reading this experience of a sequel! :derpytongue2: And look at that! Finished on the same day the original story was posted a year ago! :pinkiegasp: Now you probably still have some questions regarding the Narrator's existence. Well if you want to read more Narry action, then I'd be happy to type up a threequel! (only if by reader demand) Because threequels always turn out great, right?!

Anywhozzles, for now go check out my other story, Voodoo That Zebras Do if you want to see some Zecora action as well. Or the collaboration I've been doing with Short Stories if you're into human school murder! I'll still be around hocking stuff onto the internet superhighway, so stick around...clown! This has been Stratocaster, and stay classy, Fimfiction! :yay:

And they lived happily ever after and had a lot of little stories together.

THREEQUEL! THREEQUEL!.... IS THAT EVEN A WORD? NO. BUT I WANT ONE ANYWAY.

Fool me once; shame on you.
Fool me twice; shame on me.
Fool me three times; I'm the fool reading your great trilogy.

"You do realize that this is incredibly weird, right?"

I think we're way past the threshold of weird.

Yup, you're saying it.
(She keeps per panties in another closet, did she?)


Yup, good story!

If you have ideas for an threequel, I'm happy to read more from you.

Edit: It's in the feature box already!

*chants* THREEQUEL! THREQUEL! THREEQUEL! THREEQUEL!

The Narrator self-inserted into the story he was narrating, while himself being a creation of an even greater narrator.

Motherfuckin' fog horns, it's Inception time.

I'm pretty sure that you're going to hear this more but...

PUT OUT A THREEQUEL DARN YOU, I LIKE THIS STORY! :flutterrage:

THREEQUEL! THREQUEL! THREEQUEL! THREEQUEL THREEQUEL! THREQUEL! THREEQUEL! THREEQUELTHREEQUEL! THREQUEL! THREEQUEL! THREEQUELTHREEQUEL! THREQUEL! THREEQUEL! THREEQUELTHREEQUEL! THREQUEL! THREEQUEL! THREEQUELTHREEQUEL! THREQUEL! THREEQUEL! THREEQUEL

Did not see the slight romance sub-plot coming. A fine story good sire. I would love to read more as everyone here in the comments seems to want to do as well.

Plus one to those looking for a threequel. Nice job! :twilightsmile:

NOW FOR THE SUBJECT MATTER OF

SELF-INSERTS.

* Narrator
Spot on, right in the memories. Have some more in return.

Every legends character need a story teller
or
He'll never leave me.

This needs to be a threequel.

If I may offer up a potential title for the third book...
"Twilight Ships the Narrator"
:raritywink:

Aw, this ending is pretty sweet. Even if it's kinda like Twilight falling for the ghost that's haunting her.

Trilogy all the way.

Inception level is high.

If Twilight begins to narrate her own story and then make the story narrate its own story...

*pulls out gun*

Methinks Twi needs to make Narry a body :trollestia:

Triloquacious Maximatum Favorious

Write a threequel, your bagel God demands it.

Yay, the mane six brought the narrator back! Way to go, girls! You are the best! And that ending scene, though. That was pretty heartwarming.

Thanks for writing a wonderful story for us, Stratocaster!

I approve of the plan for a threequel. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.

Really, really, really enjoyed this story!! :twilightsmile: I would wholeheartedly support a threequel...however, please don't give in to the temptation to ponify Narry. After all, the heart of this story's charm and wit lies in the Narrator being omniscient and somewhat incorporeal/mysterious. If you make him too tangible, I fear that it would undermine the heart of the story.

...but then again, maybe you'll pull it off in an awesome fashion. Totally up to you. :moustache:

7235552 I'm really glad people want 'Narrilight' to be a thing! Twilight sure is lucky. Heck, I'd date him! :eeyup:

7235569 Now we just need Narry to help Twilight make pottery while romantic music plays. :derpyderp2:

7235698 Now that you mention it, I can picture something like Alphonse from FMA Brotherhood! :derpyderp1:

7235812 Yes, my lord! Praise be to you!

Our bagel, who art in the bakery, hallowed be thy dough. :scootangel:

7235931 You're quite welcome, Blue Yoshi! :twilightsmile: Thanks for sticking around!

7236189 Don't worry, I plan to explore the Narrator's properties a lot more, but I won't give him a definitive form anytime soon. And I'll be happy to make a third story about him, one that'll go way beyond slice of life! :pinkiegasp: I'll start work on it soon!

7236248 :rainbowlaugh: So that's what that song is called! It's been bugging me! That is sexy as @#$%!

7235569 Isn't that the premise of a movie from like.. the 80s?

7236261 go forth and do mine bidding, and you shall be granted my holy favor
I think I still have a couple boons in my closet.

That was a great story, but I'm unsure about a threequel. I'll let the others decide.
I was expecting the final scene to be something like, Twilight go to take a shower, Narrator saying something like " alright, I'll wait for you outside" and Twilight would be like "you know, I wouldn't mind your company, after all" and him answering something like "...ok, but I think I'm not going to narrate this part" and then the story ends.
I think I've been too much on the wrong side of Internet.

THREEQUEL OR EVEN A PREQUEL TELLING US WHEN HE FIRST STARTED USING HIS POWERS MAYBE?

Heck, if you've got more story for The Narrator I know I'd sure like to read about them.

Awh~

The story did not end with a bang, but with a D'awww :pinkiehappy:

:twilightsmile: That was cute.

This is still one of the weirdest stories I've ever read here, I'll tell you that. It was really a fun read and that ending the silliest bit of heartwarming I've seen in ages. Sad it's over now.

Would also like a threequel. I can offer a Sparkle Cannon for future Use, if you like. :twilightsmile:

Did you just ship Twilight x Narrator? Twarrator? Narralight? Lords and ladies, that's bizarre.

I loved it.

AAAWWWWWW
I CANTIMDYING
TOOMUCHCUTENESD

Come on everyone, chant with me!

THREEQUEL! THREEQUEL! THREEQUEL! THREEQUEL! :yay:

7236274 Sounds good! Can't wait to read the finished product!
