//------------------------------// // Alicorns don't panic [Alternate Ending] // Story: To Love A Non-Brony // by The Forgotten Host //------------------------------// 'Alright I can do this.' Celestia thought as she stood in front of the TD's humble abode (disguised as a white pegasus with pink mane and tail). 'Just have to knock and he'll open it. I can do this.' She raised a hoof to knock the door only to retract it. "Right after a slice of cake," she said and turned around only to have her view blocked by the non-brony's chest. "TD?" She said, just realizing how small she felt in this form in front of him. "What brings you here?" she smiled awkwardly "This is my house." He said raising an eye brow adjusting his grip on his grocery bag, "What are you doing here?" Seeing it was now or never. Celestia took a deep breath to gather her courage. She cleared her throat and looked at him straight in the eyes with fiery determination. "TD, I have come here to ask you something." she stated sternly. TD tilted his head curiously "and?" "you out me go with will?" "Um... what?" Celestia mentally cursed and tried again, "Out me with you go will?" "Come again?" Celestia began to panic, "You...would... me... ddd.... da... da-" "It's Saturday." He finished to what he thought was her question. Celestia shook her head violently, "No! I mean... I" As much as TD wanted to stay and watch Celestia do... what ever the hell she was doing, his grocery bag was feeling heavy and he wanted to take a nap. He walked by her stammering form and began searching for the keys in his pockets. "You try to remember whatever it was you wanted to tell me, Celestia. I'll talk to you later." He opened the door to his house. As he stepped inside, Celestia's ancient mind went into overdrive thinking of what to do. Finally, it reached the one and only logical conclusion. "WAIT!" she yelled causing TD to stop and turn towards her. "What?" Celestia looked left and right to make sure nopony could see what she was about to do. She took a deep breathe and flared her wings. Three minutes later, she finished panting holding an elegant pose. TD just stared at her flabbergasted, "What did I just watch?" "TD Harrison Powell," Celestia asked sternly while blushing profoundly, "Will you go out with me?" TD didn't say anything for what felt like an hour, but not long after, he slowly turned around and stepped inside his house closing the door behind him. Celestia lowered her head in failure and would have begun making her way home if not for the door slightly opening and TD stepping out half way. "Pick me up at five." he said smiling as he saw her face light up and stepping back inside, closing the door.
