//------------------------------// // (1) // Story: Choose Your Own Adventure: Your Self Insert Asks Pinkie Pie for a Date // by Palm Palette //------------------------------// You are a sea monster, and you've had your heart set on Pinkie Pie ever since you first saw her swimming at the beach. Your gigantic form is hard to conceal, but you managed to hide by picking up a house and squeezing yourself under the foundation. You're cramped, uncomfortable, and exposure to the air is making your slimy hide dry out and flake. Now that Pinkie Pie is out in the open, this is the best opportunity to make your move. You wrap some of your many tentacles around the home's rose bushes and tear them out of the ground. Slithering forward, you deposit the improv floral arrangement at her feet. The ponies in the market scream and run, but your gesture has caught Pinkie's attention. She looks up at you with wide, blue eyes. “Hhrabgpt! Zath shu-nugrath ahm'akpfit,” you say. Her pupils shrink to beads and she backs off as one of your many tentacles gets too close to her personal space. “Um, thanks, but no thanks. You're a bit too washed-up for me.” She runs off. Alas, it was not not meant to be. Perhaps if you were a pony instead of an abomination from the deep, things could have worked out better. Go back.
