Story
"All I'm saying is that there are some stories that could be changed for the better." Fizzy explains. "And I can help change them!"
"What stories as an example?" You ask curiously.
"We'll find some. I'm sure of it!" Fizzy keeps her eyes forward, so many things on her mind that she isn't saying.
"All I know is I'm hungry. Let's get some food." You say.
You make your way to Sweet Apple Acres for some delicious apple treats. You find Apple Bloom hiding.
"Applebloom? What are you doing?" Fizzy asks.
"I'm playing hide-n-seek. Don't let him know where I am!" She shushed.
"Who?" Fizzy asks.
"Where could my littlest granddaughter be?" Grand Pear calls out, looking around for her.
"That's so sweet. Making up for lost time now that you found eachother?" Fizzy asks.
"What're Ya'll talking about?" Apple Bloom asks.
"You know…how you and Grand Pear are getting to know each other." Fizzy continues.
Applebloom laughs, "that's a good one. Why, I've known my granpear my whole life!"
"Gotcha!" Grand Pear scoops up Applebloom.
"Awww. No fair. These two gave away my hiding spot!" Applebloom sighed.
"Come along, you two! Granny Smith and I just finished supper." Applejack waves them in.
"Aw, come on, Applejack. Five more minutes? Pleeeeeaaase?!"
"What do ya think, Big Mac? Think we can wait for five more minutes so these two can finish their game?" Applejack asks.
"Eee-yup!" Big Mac nods.
"Hurry it up now, you prickly pear. We don't want the young one to have cold food!" Granny warned.
"Just one more game and we'll be in. Promise!" Gran pear nods as Applebloom runs off to hide. Grand Pear whispers to you, "I couldn't help but overhear what you said to my granddaughter. I would appreciate it if you wouldn't say things like that anymore."
"Why? What's going on?" Fizzy asks.
Grand Pear looks around to make sure no pony else could hear, "I found this magic page that could change things. I know better than to try to stop someone's end, but…the ability to help my grandchildren through it…I couldn't pass up that chance once I knew they were around." He looked over to where Applebloom ran off, "please. Let me have this second chance."
Fizzy looks to you. "What do you think?"
[CHOICE]
Will you let Grand Pear have his second chance?
> Yes (Chaos)
> No (Hero)
[ENDING A: CHAOS]
You think it through and smile, "how could we possibly pull a man away from his family?" You look over to where Applebloom went, "go have a good time with your family."
"I will, and I'll keep the page safe!" Grand Pear promises.
Fizzy smiles as he goes off. "See. Some stories should be changed"
"I hope we did the right thing." You breathe as you go off as well.

[ENDING B: HERO]
You sigh and look down, "Grand Pear. I know you feel terrible about your choices, but changing the past isn't the way to go about it."
"But-" Fizzy and Grand Pear say simultaneously.
"-no buts." You continue. "It's horrible that you missed so much time with them, but instead of changing the past, make the most of the time you have now that you know them. Changing it changes their lives and that may not be fair to them."
Grand Pear sighs. Fizzy tries again, "but-"
"No…your friend is right. I don't know yet if my being here changes things with my grandchildren…it's best to keep things as they are." An orange glow surrounds you as everything goes back to normal and he hands you the page. "If you'll excuse me, I need to spend time with my family."
Grand Pear goes off while Fizzy thinks about it. "But…what if it would be better the other way?"
"The point is it didn't. Going back isn't the answer, Fizzy. Moving forward is." You give her a hug as you both walk off.
