42. #MultiversePinkie

Story
You find yourself back in the convention space, looking around the vendor hall. You look through all the beautiful original art from an artist when you spot a picture of Pinkie Pie. Destroyed buildings are seen in the distance around her, with bleak gray clouds filling the sky, a green phoenix flying in the distance. To the side of the picture, you see the barest start of ponies coming into frame, though something seems off about them. The colors are muted, and it looks like one pony is a unicorn, but part of its horn is gone. Pinkie's face contorts with worry in the picture as she looks in the direction of the sickly ponies.

Then, suddenly, Pinkie's head raises up, as if aware of being observed. Her head swivels to look directly into your eyes. She immediately smiles, waving hello frantically. She walks closer to the picture and literally jumps through it. "Sweet Celestia. I would NOT go in there! The ponies in that place were cran—ky! I'm sure it doesn't help that their world got completely rad—"

"Pinkie!" You shout to get her attention. "What were you doing in the artwork?"

Pinkie spits out a laugh, "Looking at the universe, duh! See, I found one of those pages and at first I was like, 'I don't want to change anything. I'm happy because I have so many friends! But, then I realized that I've seen so many other worlds but I've never BEEN to the other worlds. So, I decided to use my page and start traveling! I've gone to the world where we are all high schoolers, and the one where Twilight is a magical girl! There was a world where every creature was their opposite. That one was hilarious. Oh, and one where Fluttershy was a dinosaur! And sooooo many more, including the one you found me in…and now I'm here!" Pinkie looks around, admiring all of the art.

Your mouth drops to the floor. "Yes. You are here!" you agree, "and I'm glad you are, but…what are you going to do now?"

"Are you kidding?! Now I can explore the world full of all sorts of people who love me and my friends! Maybe I can help put a smile on the face of every brony I meet! And when I'm done, I can check out another world!"

"Pinkie, I—" you start.

"Just think of it! We can go to see the bands together, and I can sing Gypsy magic with them. Oh! I could run off to the gaming room and play a round of Are you a changeling! Oooor, I could try some video games, maybe watch a few panels, and even buy one of these amazing artworks! They are all amazing! All of the different, talented works are fantastic. I don't know if I will be able to choose just one! Do you think they'd take bits?!"

"Pinkie—" you start.

"And after the con, I can go from brony to brony, spreading laughter wherever I go! We can go to other conventions to find even more bronies."

"P—" you try again.

"And after the bronies, we can talk to all the people of the world! I've seen some of the things you've been upset about, and I think that some laughter would really do your world good. Oooooh, we could even get the leaders of your world together and have a world peace party! Doesn't that sound great!?"

[CHOICE]
Is it great?
> It's the best news ever! (Chaos)

> What about your friends? (Hero)

[ENDING A: CHAOS]
"Are you kidding? That's the best news I ever heard!" You grin. "Everyone is going to be so excited to see you here!"

"And I'll be so excited to see them! We can play games and have treats and—oh—I can throw a party! What are we waiting for?!" She takes you and you go off in search of all the other bronies of the convention. "Do you think every brony would like chimmicherries, or would it be cherry chungas? Ohhhh, maybe we can have cupcakes!" She grins, "I can not wait to help make your world a better place!"

[ENDING B: HERO]
"I mean, we love to see you Pinkie, but if you're out there seeing all the different worlds…won't your friends miss you?" you ask.

"Oh. I never thought about it like that. All the time spent in all of these worlds I see of time I don't spend with my friends. I could pay visits, but what if they need me? What if a huge villain comes that needs all of us together and I'm not there? Or worse. What if I accidentally miss a friend's birthday?!" She gasps as if that is the single most horrifying thought that has ever crossed her mind. "Good call, [USERNAME]. My friends need me. At least I got to meet you. And hey, even if it's on the other side of a wall I can't cross, I'm glad I get to see you as often as I do! Welp, see you later!" She hands you the page as an orange glow surrounds the area and everything goes back to normal.
