The Loser's Booth

by Pickleless


The BahWah Booth

All we had to do was leave town. All we had to do is just accept that we tried out best and left. Why do I...I know why, I can't say that anymore. I'm afraid...I'm afraid, but that's okay. Whatever happens at this point, it'll be okay. All that's left after is clarity, and all that comes with it...

I transform into a tan mare with a black mane, and magenta eyes.

"HOLY CRAP YOU'RE DARING DO!" Second exclaims.
"BUCK YEAH I'M DARING DO!" I yell.
"Quick sweetheart! We still have to secure the Pendent of Veils before the necromancer gets it!" Electric yelled.

Second watched in utter shock as her parents ran out of the booth.

"AUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!" Celestia screamed, getting up. A hoof gently, but strongly, pushed her back down. Looking up, she saw her Mother's stern face.
"Stay down." She quietly said.
"But-"
"Stay down, you have already failed." Her words tore at Celestia's heart. "You failed, and if you get up now and try again, as tired and frustrated as you are, you will only fail harder." She gently explained. "Failure is not acceptable, do everything in your power to succeed. But when you do fail, fall to the ground with grace. You have already failed, so make the most of it. Rest in your failure, don't think about your problems. Recover, think about what you're fighting for and why it matters so much to you. And then, when you're strong enough to stand tall. Summon your courage and try again."

Celes focused. Stopping, and summoning all the positive chi she had in her body.

*POP*

Celestia turned back into her Alicorn self, Luna never became Nightmare Moon, Twilight ascended, Scootaloo's parents were alive again, Sombra used his powers for good, Discord was truly reformed, changelings never attacked ponies ever, Chrysalis was aborted right as her Mom got pregnant, and lastly, ponies and changelings have a strong diplomatic relationship.

"NAILED IT~!" Celestia cheered.

---

"I HOPE YOU CHANGELINGS ARE READY FOR SOME FUN!"
"WAIT, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GUN-"

---

The FIRST thing I hear upon waking up is a scream from outside my window.

Buck that noise.

I turn my head and go back to sleep. Whatever is happening in Canterlot Castle, it's not my problem.

---

"W-wait! I'm not crazy!" Celes shouted, her breathing becoming ragged.
"Don't be hard on yourself sister, she plays a convincing act. Even she herself believes it."
"I was attacked by changelings this morning, I swear!"
"And this is what it ends with. Always the changelings. I wish I never told her that tale." The Adult Celestia rubbed a hoof against her forehead. "I woke up in the streets of Canterlot. Changelings. I had some strange magic cast on me. Changelings. Some strange stallion or mare is tailing me. Changelings." Guards! Come here please!"

Celes stopped and stared intensely for a second.

"I'm a fake Celestia that the changelings made that went hay wire, and you're currently brainwashed by Chrysalis."
"And do you have any proof for this outrageous claim?!?" Celestia snarled.
"Your eyes are glowing light green."

Luna and Twilight blinked, and looked at Celestia eyes.

"HOW DID WE NOT NOTICE THIS?!?" Luna bellowed.

Electric Koolaid back-flipped past the changelings, all their attacks missing him. Back-flipping into the castle, he slowly back-flipped his way past danger, abusing the invincibility frames one has while back-flipping. Back-flipping into the throne room, he dodged all three of the princesses attacks on him as he back-flipped into the small room Chrysalis was hiding in. Back-flipping up to her, he shoved his spear into Chrysalis' throat. Back-flipping back towards the front of Canterlot Castle, he back-flipped past Derpy handing him a letter. Suddenly, Second never was kidnapped by changelings. Back-flipping into the hospital, he back-flipped past the nurse telling him Second was too sick to visit, making Second perfectly healthy all the sudden. Back-flipping with his daughter back into Canterlot Castle, he back-flipped into Elmer's room and back-flipped past Elmer's memory issues. back-flipping with his wife and daughter, he back-flipped back home.

And then back-flipped back into Canterlot Castle, back-flipped past Celestia saying no to him not being the DJ for the Summer Celebration, and back-flipped back out.

All we had to do was leave town. All we had to do is just accept that we tried out best and left. Why do I...I know why, I can't say that anymore. I'm afraid...I'm afraid, but that's okay. Whatever happens at this point, it'll be okay. All that's left after is clarity, and all that comes with it...

I transform into a lime-green stallion, with a pink mane and dark orange eyes.

"CURSES!" The evil Electric yelled, twirling his mustache he suddenly gained as he ran out the booth.

Second and I stared at the exit he left through.

"You know, when I think about it, he pretty much was a psychopathic killer, it's not like he was trying to act like a good colt."
"Yeah." I agreed. "Let's go home Second."
"Okay Dad."
