//------------------------------// // Sometimes, you just don't get to finish a book.... // Story: Tales of Another Ponyville // by Paradise Oasis //------------------------------// Oh dear, would you look at the time! It's well past nine thirty, and we were supposed to have closed an hour ago! I'm sorry, but I really have to be going, can't really close the library on his own, and I don't want him getting squashed trying to re-shelve a whole stack of books again! So, if you could just find your own way out... Wait, you want to find out what happened to all the ponies in the story? Well, there's really not much to tell. Princess Wysteria thought on king Hidden Treasure's advice, and returned home to apologize to her daughter, and returned to rule over Ponyville. Fiesta and Razaroo saw how utterly childish Scootaloo had acted at her own birthday party, and it made them realize how childish they had been acting. The two have made up, and decided to work on planning the parties here in town equally as partners. Mochanaut and her mother came to an understanding (Thanks to Starcatcher and Hidden Treasure strong-arming Thistle Whistle), and she now has the freedom she craved. Spike and Pinkie Pie have learned that they, are the servants, and Wysteria and her daughter are the rulers. Despite not finding the princess, Dashie came back a hero for bringing her team home safely. Sparklework's sister is still driving her crazy, and well... Minty is still Minty. Oh, and as for those annoying ghosts, well... that's a story for another time. We actually have another book here in the library on that whole mess, and THAT one you can actually check out. Huh? Yes, that's it... there's not anything else to tell you. You were expecting some great ending? Some grand narrative with a beginning, middle, and end? I'm really sorry, but these aren't part of a storybook, these are my friends and I's lives. They don't just end when the book ends, they keep going, and so do their problems. Rainbow Dash is still having problems with her mother, and Scootaloo is still acting like a brat. Old problems are solved, and new problems appear. It's not some story, it's called LIFE. Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to sound so rude! But don't worry, I certain you haven't heard the last of my friends or I adventures; after all, this story was only to get you interested in Ponyville and it's inhabitants. I'm sure there will be more tales for you to read, more of adventures for you to enjoy. Now, if you could please head down the stairs and out the back door, you should be able to find your way back to the Ponyville inn. May you have the best of journeys, good visitor, and I hope you'll stop back at Storybelle's the story loft if you're in Ponyville again. And may fortune smile upon you. Hang on, Gossamer, I'm coming to help! No, don't file the book 'catching some z's' under the letter z!
