Ending – The Truth

Twilight pulled her head back, rubbing her forehead as she groaned. The spell was taxing, not to mention she had held it for minutes already. She shook her head before looking at her pink friend. Pinkie still had her eyes closed.
“Pinkie? You alright?” Twilight asked, not sure if she had been released from the effects of the spell yet.
It took a moment, but soon Pinkie’s eyes slowly opened.
“You okay? It wasn’t too much was it?” Twilight asked a little worried about her friend.
Pinkie simply blinked, before smiling and lowering her head closing her eyes. Twilight blinked a little confused at this behavior.
“Thank you Twilight.” Were the first words to leave Pinkie’s mouth.
“Oh, did it work?” Twilight asked, softly smiling.
“It did. And I thank you so much for helping me.” Pinkie said lifting her head, letting Twilight see the smile on Pinkie’s face. “If you hadn’t helped me…who knows what would have happened. I mean, I probably would’ve been driven insane.” She twirled her eyes in example, then chuckling at herself. “But I won’t now and it’s all thanks to you.”
“Oh well I, you know, I was doing it to help a friend in need.” Twilight said smiling, accepting the compliments in her usual manner.
“This has been a pretty crazy experience.” Pinkie chuckled.
“So…I hope I’m not prying, but you know what was causing those nightmares now?” Twilight asked curiously.
“I do.” Pinkie said, but shifted her head a little, “But I’ll tell you about it later, I promise. Right now,” she stood up, “I have a few things I need to take care. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Oh, but of course. I’m just happy I was able to help.” Twilight smiled. Pinkie smiled back as she headed towards Twilight’s door to help. A thought struck her and she stopped.
“Oh hey, Twilight, before I go I need two favors.” Pinkie said happily.
“Sure, what do you need?” Twilight asked curiously.
“Well, first I’ll need you to cast the cloud walking spell for me. And second, do you have any red ribbon on you?” Pinkie asked curiously
Rainbow Dash was getting in a good afternoon nap in her home when she was awoken by several knocks on her door.
“Mmm…wha…” She said as she stirred from her sleep. Her ears wiggled as she heard the door being knocked on. “Yea yea, hold your horse shoes, I’m coming.” She yawned, stretching as she woke up. She walked over to the door, opening it up.
Almost instantly she was assaulted by a pink blur that proceeded to hug her, knocking her over onto her back.
“G-Guh! What the-“ She said in surprise, before realizing her assaulter was Pinkie Pie. “Oh, Pinkie Pie?” Rainbow Dash said sitting up slowly, “What’s the idea? You know it’s my nap time.” Rainbow shook her head as Pinkie slowly let go.
“I know and I’m sorry for waking you,” Pinkie smiled, “A lots happened to me and I really just had to see you.”
“Well, that’s alright then. I certainly can’t abandon a friend in need.” Rainbow Dash said brushing her hair with her hoof, “What’s on your mind Pinks?”
“It’s…a really long story Dash. A long and…well a rather sad one.” Pinkie said with a hint of melancholy in her voice, “And I’m more than willing to tell you, but I hope you don’t mind if I keep you waiting a little while to hear the story.” Pinkie ran a hoof through her hair, “I still have some things to deal with before I’m really ready to tell other ponies about it.”
“…A sad story? That’s not like you Pinkie Pie, you’re always about being upbeat, fun and having a good time. What could be so sad about something recently happening to you?” Rainbow asked a little curiously about her friend.
Pinkie giggled a little, smiling at Dash, “You’ll know when you hear it. Just trust me for the moment. After all, I came here to hang out with you for a little while, if you don’t mind.”
“Of course not, a visit from my gal-pal is always welcome.” Rainbow smiled as she flew over to another part of her house, “Would you like a snack? I got some fresh apples from Applejack, they’re really good.”
“That sounds delightful.” Pinkie said walking further into Rainbow’s house.
Rainbow returned with the apples, the two ponies sharing the snack together. They talked, they laughed, they reminisced about some of the adventures they’d been on since Twilight had arrived in town. Rainbow thought it a little weird that Pinkie was being so sentimental, but figured she must have a good reason. They spent a few good hours just hanging out in her home.
“So Pinkie,” Rainbow said after they had just finished a conversation about possible pranks they could pull in the future, “what’s with the red ribbon in your hair?” Rainbow asked curiously.
Pinkie turned her head to look at the red ribbon she had tied into a bow on her mane. She smiled softly, before looking at Rainbow Dash, “Well…let’s just say it’s helping me remember what dear friends I really have.” She chuckled.
“I didn’t know you needed a ribbon for that, after all we’re all right here.” Rainbow Dash smiled, putting a hoof to her chest.
“I know,” Pinkie laughed, “But I did need the reminder.” She gently nuzzled her hair with the ribbon attached to it. She then smiled softly, before looking up at Rainbow Dash.
“Dash…I’m going away for a while.” Pinkie announced to her.
“Huh?” Rainbow said almost spitting out the apple juice she had been sipping on. “Going away? But why?”
“I’ve got something I need to take care.” Pinkie said, looking away from Rainbow Dash, though still smiling, “I’m going out to go see my sister Octavia.”
“Well…we could go with you, you know. You don’t have to go alone.” Rainbow explained.
“I know, but this is really something I have to do myself,” she chuckled as she gently batted her straight hair with her hoof, “Especially if I want this to be poofy again.”
“…So you’re sure this is what you need?” Rainbow Dash asked once again.
“It is.” Pinkie smiled, looking at Rainbow Dash.
Dash looked conflicted, she certainly didn’t want Pinkie to go away, but she also had to support her friend.
“…Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do right?” Rainbow said putting on a strong face and gently hitting Pinkie’s shoulder, “Besides, you’ll be coming back right?”
“Oh of course I will. I could never abandon you and the other girls here in Ponyville! You’re my bestest friends ever! I can’t think of what life would be like without you all!” Pinkie explained happily.
“Then go ahead. We’ll see you off, of course. Though things will be mighty quiet without you around.” Rainbow said smiling.
“I know, I bring so many smiles here, which is why I could never stay away for long.” Pinkie chuckled again.
Classical music filled the halls, the small group of ponies played on the stage to a large crowd. Their instruments were finely tuned, they never missed a beat or a cord as they all played in perfect harmony. The very soul of their music resonated through the hall and the hearts of all the ponies attending.
The final chords were played and the auditorium was filled with applause as they took their bows. The curtains came to a close on the stage as the band members began to pack up their instruments.
“That was probably our best performance yet.” Beauty Brass said as she put her sousaphone away in its case.
“I don’t know, I still feel like we could do better.” Frederic said as his piano was pushed off to the side.
“I still say we should add in some of Beethooven’s earlier work, his later work is magnificent but it doesn’t compare to the wonderment his early work provided.” Harpo said as his harp was also carted off.
“We sounded fantastic guys; don’t worry about it too much.” Octavia chuckled at her fellow band mates. “It was a great performance, so we’ve got a well-deserved night of rest.” Octavia smiled as she placed her contrabass into its container. She pulled the strap over her shoulders, placing the instrument on her back. She always refused help with putting her beloved instrument away.
“Hey, you’re not supposed to be back here!” The band heard a security guard say loudly. They turned their heads to see who he was yelling at.
“I know, but my sister is in the band and I really need to talk to her.” Pinkie’s begged at the security guard.
“We didn’t hear anything about any of the band members getting a family visit today.” The security guard said grabbing Pinkie by the leg.
“H-Hey! I’m not lying!” Pinkie said trying to get the security guard to let go.
“It’s okay sir.” Octavia said walking up to the guard, “She’s my sister. Though she did come by rather unannounced.” Octavia said looking at Pinkie curiously, before noticing that her hair was straight, something she hadn’t seen in a long time now.
“Well, alright, if the band says you’re okay, then you are. Just don’t come in unannounced next time.” The security guard huffed before walking off.
“Hey, do you need some time to yourself?” Beauty asked as she walked up to Octavia.
“Yea, sorry guys, go ahead and do your own things, I’ll see you back at the hotel later.” Octavia smiled. Beauty Brass understood and walked off to the rest of the band.
“Sorry sis, I probably should’ve given you more warning. Then again even I didn’t really know I was going to be setting off till I basically did. Still, I could’ve written.” Pinkie chuckled.
“Yea, would’ve been nice.” Octavia chuckled back, “At least you didn’t interrupt my performance this time.” Pinkie blushed while smiling, still remembering the Gala. “Come on, let’s go have some dinner and we can talk.”
Pinkie dined on a fresh daisy salad, while Octavia enjoyed a French Daffodil Soup.
“So, Pinkie,” Octavia started as she finished taking a sip of her soup, “Why the sudden visit? I assume it has to do with something that’s bugging you.”
“Heh…I can’t hide anything from you, can I sis?” Pinkie smiled as she took another bite of her salad.
“Not really. You’re hair doesn’t go down unless your upset about something.” Octavia said as her eyes wandered down to the red ribbon in Pinkie’s hair, “The ribbon is new though.”
“Heh…well the two topics are related.” Pinkie said, before giving a soft sigh as she smiled. “I know I’m about to ask a lot from you Octavia…what with you on tour and all…and it’s been a long time since either of us brought this up…”
Octavia ate another spoonful of soup as she watched her sister curiously, not really sure what to expect.
“But…I’d like the two of us to go visit Bellamina’s grave.”
Octavia nearly dropped the spoon from her mouth. She quickly swallowed the contents of her mouth.
“This is…rather sudden Pinkie.” Octavia said surprised her sister would bring it up, “If that’s what you really want…our next concert isn’t till next week in Hoofington, so if we left now we could make it to the farm with enough time for me to get back.”
“Oh, thank you sis!” Pinkie said happily, “You really are the best sister in the world.” She chuckled happily.
“Sure, I’ll do this so long as you tell me what’s going on.” Octavia smiled.
“Deal.” Pinkie smiled back.
The wind blew san across the rocky field, as the two sister’s stood before their younger sister’s grave. It was a hand-carved rock marker, carefully crafted to look like their younger sister sitting with a smile. She sat on top of a slab that read ‘Here lays Bellamina Marie Pie, a beloved daughter, a wonderful sister, and an angel in filly form.’
“That’s…really quite a story Pinkie.” Octavia said looking at Pinkie, then back to her sister’s grave, “But…it’s good to hear that you’ve forgiven yourself for what happened.” Octavia smiled.
“Yea, I’m glad I did too. But I couldn’t say it was official till I at least came here again.” Pinkie said as she gently placed the roses she had picked up on her sister’s grave. “I’d forgotten about her because I didn’t want to remember. And that’s a terrible thing for an older sister to do. So from now on, I promise to visit her once a year.” Pinkie smiled happily.
“You know what…if you’re going to do that, then I’ll join you.” Octavia smiled, “I’ve been too focused on my work lately. I haven’t given our sister the proper time of day either.”
“Thank you.” Pinkie said, nuzzling against Octavia.
“You’re my sister; I’ve always been here for you if you need me sis.” Octavia nuzzled her sister back, smiling happily. The sister’s shared their happy embrace.
“Octavia, Pinkamena, dinner’s ready.” Their mother called from the farm house.
“Coming!” Octavia called out, “Come on, let’s go get some dinner sis.”
“I’ll be right there.” Pinkie smiled to Octavia. Octavia nodded and headed towards the farm.
“Hey…Bellamina…” Pinkie said softly, getting closer to her sister, “You were a wonderful sister. Thank you so much for being my sister. I love you.” She kissed the forehead of her sister’s statue. She then turned around and began to walk back to the farm.
Her hair poofed out and curled, returning to her usual, bubbly self.
-The End-
this is the ending i wanted, althought i feel i would have been better if you had written out the part where pinkie describes what happened to there sister. you missed a chance to show octy's reaction to finding out what really happened to her sisters
but non the less i felt it was good
ps i came here from a live narration of this story by some guy whos name begins with an a on youtube
you can thank him
Awesome, best ending so far...
This is what I was looking for since the first ending
Good job tho, hope to see more of your work
I wonder how the girls would react to Pinkie's story of her and her sister. I'd like to see that. hint hint
now THAT is what i wanna READ.
AWWW now thats the ending I was looking for.
29049 The guy's name starts with an A, That's very, very helpful
Wow congrulations this is the TRUE ending to this masterpiece of a Fanfic.
And congrats on getting this featured on Equestria Daily I don't know why it took them so long to approve this.
this is best ending.
29049 his name is azukahh. i listened to it also
399576 his name is azukahh, more helpfull?
626123
Azekahh is his name :P I never listened to it though as he did not finish it and i never thought i would read this until a friend reccomended it
29049 You mean Azekahh?
QWERTZUIOP
awwww ;w; such a happy ending i approve!!
so... just... this is the way it needed to end, beatiful story. Its just amazing.
this is actually what i thought the ending would be while i was reading the the first 5 chapters
This ending was so heartfelt, it made me tear up! I love the amazing way the ending plays out. Itr's really what I would've liked to happen.
Actual best ending. I do kind of like the "unlock conditions" for all of these. I mean, yes, it's video gamey, but as a trope it works into the crossover.
was my reaction. it was so beautiful!
29049 azekahh?
I read the entire story...
WHY IS THIS IN THE FLUTTERDASH GROUP?!
You got the Good Ending!
Selected music for ending:
meh... i like the pinkie is bella better...
Pinkie ( Please no one hate on me, i am giving my opinion) is my least fav, and stuff like cupcakes didnt help.
This IS the happy ending right? if so YYYEEEAAAAH!!! SO AWESOME!
This chapter is really heartwarming and when i reached the end of the chapter, i played this music.
Here lies Pinkie Pie's younger sister and she is dearly beloved
DUDE!!!
This ending is....wow...
I don't know why, but it reminded me of this:
The feeels!!! TEH FEEEELZ!!! I Feel like crying now!!!1!!one!
What a beautiful ending.. really made me tear up a little.. I was hearing this song while I was reading this really fitted the mood.
Excellent story.
Oh celestia, that sure was something. Okay, this should be made into a book. Its so sad and tragic. So much sad!!! I can handle everything.... just not the death of pinkie's sis.... It was so messed up... I'm crying in horror
I prefer the twist ending still cause it was so surprising. But this was beautiful.
this song:
this song fits this ending very well. well it kinda fits ANY sad ending though..... but its still an amazing and sad song.
oh yeah this game that its from is kinda similar to silent hill. except its a zombie survival. and has a sadder story.. and its 2d... but it has alot of references to the series and the style of horror is similar.
And then they all died.
This could have been very touching, but it just didn't hit the right chords for me. Oh well, it's still obviously the best ending so far, seeing as of how it actually makes perfect sense.
4348988 Thanks, M.A. Larson!
That was kind of sad but well done
It was the scene with Bellamina's death and the Cupcake that really turned me off to the story.
I know it's an important scene, but Cannibalism really, REALLY disturbs me; hence I can't reach that scene without being too disgusted and disturbed to enjoy any story for the next 30 minutes at least (at most, the next week).
Over all, it was a good story, but that scene, combined with the Cupcakes reference... *Shudders.* That's just DISTURBING AS HELL.
Cupcakes anyone?
Never mind.
I'll save them for later.
If your still around.
Which you won't be.
You'll be in the kitchen.
On a table.
I'll bake some cupcakes.
You can help with the icing.
Or with the baking.
It'll be fun
Well with that out of the way. I praise this! I love the story and I love how you just wrote it! It makes the viewer want MORE I give 9/10. One less point because of some errors. Pinkie rating: 10/10. Lol.
You really need to work on your dialogue. Use the right punctuation, and try to use words that the characters would actually use. For example, Rainbow dash doesn't use the word 'mighty' instead of 'really' or 'very'. Thats part of Applejack's accent! Also, when they're asking a question, always use a question mark. If they're excited or there's a lot of emotion behind something, use an exclamation point. Except for the last sentence in a quote, use a period for normal bland statements. For the last sentence, use a comma if its a statement. This story has the potential to give me nightmares for weeks, but it just doesn't quite get there because of the dialogue. The mistakes just rip me out of the experience as I try to figure out what they mean when I could be imagining what's going on.
Oh my Luna, this story, this FUCKING STORY! I LOVE IT!
And thus we receive a beautiful and fitting end for a great piece of fiction. Thank you SamRose for an interesting read, a fine crossover with MLP and the Silent Hill Universe, I look forward to your future work.
Even though I HATE how you made Octavia and Pinkie sisters, this was a very heart-felt story and was very beautiful.
Thumbs upHoof up for you!Yeah, nothing much to say other than this ending is the best ending.
I just wanna say this is a good history, very good writing.
I liked very much.
Great Story, cant wait to start reading 2.
tHE FEEEEEEEELSS!! THIS IS SO GOOD :-:
1286884 The rest of the series has Flutterdash in it. I.e, the second one, or basically the rest of the stories in the series minus the third -- though I haven't read the third, so I'm not sure.
listened to Nimbus Productions and Gutiserenade's readings of this and i enjoyed this a lot. still haven't read those alternate endings, but i will in time
Listened to pinkies laughter song
So I can forget the images I had of the words written in this text
Which is ironic, the whole thing is about this song anyway
The good ending.
-All inner demons have been banished, and past sins have been forgiven.
