//------------------------------// // Villain choice: give the page to Neighsay // Story: #Loveislove // by Janicethelight //------------------------------// [ENDING C: VILLAIN] Zephyr bites his lip for a moment, thinking.  He shakes his head, “I know exactly what to do with this page!” He walks over, giving it to Neighsay, “You're right.  No pony deserves to feel this way.  Life would be better without heartache…even if it means no love either.” Neighsay nods, “wonderful choice.”  He grabs a quill, writing on the page.  The page glows brightly. Zephyr opens his eyes to find himself at home.  “Huh?”  He looks around, trying to figure out why the page took him there.  His mom and dad are still in the pictures, as is Fluttershy and- He stops, looking back at the picture.  Fluttershy was standing, looking away sadly in the picture with a male pagasus.  Zephyr blinks.  “Mom…what's up with this picture of Flutters?  Where's the pic of her and Discord?” “Discord?  The Chaos thing?  Don't be absurd, Zephyr.  He's in stone.”  His mom answers. “Classic Zephyr.  Always joking around.”  His dad sighs. Zephyr flies out of the house as fast as he can, looking around.  He can only see ponies everywhere.  No sign of any other creatures.  Unicorns stallions walk with unicorn mares.  Pegusi mares fly with pegasi stallions.  Earth ponies are only with earth ponies.   Zephyr looks around.  Ponies he knows are supposed to be together, such as Lyra and Bon Bon, now each have a male pony matching their race. Everypony looks miserable.  Zephyr gasps.  “What have I done?!” He flies straight to the board of love.  Chancellor Neighsay is at the head, and looked down.  “Ah, dear Zephyr Breeze.  We were expecting you today.” “This is wrong.”  Zephyr breaths, “I thought I was helping, but everypony is miserable!” “It will take time for pony kind to get used to the new way, but it is better!”  Neighsay counters. “How is it better?  What is the point of keeping the pony tribes separate for marriage?” Zephyr wonders. “To keep the magic pure, of course!  I'm sure you heard of the tiny pegasus filly who couldn't fly.  She had a mixed family.  That can only mean that fillies in mixed families have a higher risk of being born magicless.  If we allow that, soon enough, There will be no magic with which to defend ourselves.” Zephyr blinks.  First, the ponies of the same gender, then getting rid of mixed families…what next? “And Flutters?”  Zepyr asks. Neighsay laughs, “what?  Your sister and the villian that both turned our world into a chaotic mess and sold us out to a power hungry centaur?  You can't be serious.  You truly believe that monster would have kept her happy?”   Zephyr bites his lip quietly.  “What about me and…Rainbow Dash?”  He asks. “Ah yes.  I do recall saying we would be certain you would be with her…however, plans have changed.”  Neighsay sighs. “WHAT?!”  Zephyr growls. “I do apologize, Zephyr, but really, Rainbow Dash is a wonderbolt, and you…style manes.  You two are not compatible in the least.  We will find a mare closer to what you do to continue having better talents in that area of expertise, and Rainbow Dash will be paired with Soarin.  Within a few generations, we shall the strongest generation of ponies ever known!” “That-thats not how talents work!”  Zephyr yells. “No?  Then explain the apple family.  Or most of the pies.  Of course, there is the rare oddity with the pink one, but studies show that two ponies of a similar talent have a higher chance of having their offspring have a talent similar as well.”  Neighsay flips through his book as he speaks. “This wasn't the deal!”  Zephyr rushes over only to be tackled by security. “No, but this will make a better Equestria.  All thanks to you.”  Neighsay nods as Zephyr is taken away.
