A young boy appears in Equestria, and is befriended by the local party pony. Being Pinkie Pie, the first thing she does is throw him a party, but things go wrong when she realizes that nopony else can see, hear, or touch him. Now her friends are worried that something is terribly wrong with her, and they all want to help.

Pinkie knows her friend is real, and she knows she's not crazy, but where does he go when he keeps disappearing?

Inspired by the song of the same name.

Well, darn it. Now I'm crying.

Its a little fast paced and rushed, but good in the long run.

This reminds me of an adventure time comic.

So, sad... I love it!:pinkiecrazy:

4490709 Thanks.
Funny, that image also works for when you get kicked in the balls.:pinkiesick:

...Sad, yet happy....

Manly tears... :fluttercry:

Wow, I actually had this same idea, but I was never brave enough to complete, or even able to pull it off right, so I never did it. I applaud you! :pinkiehappy:
+1

I need a.................................. SEQUEL

Normally stories like this never end in a satisfying manner, but I think you handled this story well. You really had me guessing all the way to the end, and the ending only made me appreciate this story more. I say, good job.

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I've been finding myself and I
Didn't know I was lost

this was really good. Do you think there's a possibility of a sequel?

I'm guessing from the "sad" tag that you don't mean "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go."

:pinkiesad2: As I was reading this, it git me to cry a lot! :fluttercry: :fluttershbad: Though, sometimes I did have a Dark Feeling in my mind whenever they did something to Pinkie. I would not like to to talk about it, cause you will all kill me if I did. (Trust me, AND NO, NOT A CLOP :flutterrage: ) Anyway this was really well written! ∞/10 :pinkiehappy:

This is a good story. Will there be a part two? :pinkiesad2: :pinkiehappy:

For now, this is a one-shot. It hit me outta left field, and my muse would not let it go. it happens like that sometimes. I'm just hoping I can get the song outta my head now too. Since most of this story was built in the suspense and uncertainty, wondering if Pinkie was really imagining things. Now you know... wait, no you still don't know!:pinkiegasp:

Hah! I did that on purpose.:trollestia: I deliberately wanted the reader to finish and ask themselves, is Pinkie imagining John, or is he imagining Equestria?:rainbowhuh::pinkiecrazy:

I'll leave that to you to decide.

As to a sequel? Probably not, but you never know. I never planned to write this story, so who knows what will come in the future. But for now, I need to get back to writing Room for Rent, and C'est la Mort.


4492992 That's another thing. What is the true meaning of the song? Did his father sing it to him? Is he asking for someone to wake him up? Maybe it was the last thing he heard before the accident? Maybe, just maybe, he will wake up, when he's older and wiser, and ready to face the world that was shattered for him. We may never know for sure.:applecry:

Well done, sir. This is your reward.

"Background Human"?

He meets Lyra Heartstrings and they both die on a hill as they lose the memories of everything in the hopeless world of pointless nothingness... *slits wrists* :pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy:

So... anyway... everything was in Pinkie's head... which was all in the coma kid's head...

The ending of "St. Elsewhere" made more sense. :facehoof:

4496048 The ending to St Elsewhere was meant to make sense. This story was meant to leave you wondering. I'll leave the answers to my readers.:pinkiecrazy: What can I say, I'm a big fan of twisted endings. Too much Twilight Zone and Outer Limits as a kid.:derpyderp2:

this is.....INCPETION..:applejackconfused:

The other ponies never trust Pinkie Pie. She has a special way of things and they should have trusted her, yet again.

Twilight probably could have pulled him into her perception with magic, and maybe, just maybe, could have helped him to wake up.

Of course at the very end, such is still possible but there was quite a bit of extra heartache.

The question will be if he wants to cut ties with the real world and live in equestria, or if he wants to go back with the help of his new friends. Both options are available so long as his body survives.

That's not how I saw it. I see it as some aspect of the stress dragging Johnny partially into Equestria, with Pinkie's weirdness simply being more sensitive to it than everypony else.

My god, that cliffhanger is killing me. I DID NOT expect that ending. :ajsleepy:

4499641 They couldn't trust her... because none of them are real... because they're all in the head of a coma patient...

... unless his consciousness somehow mysteriously blew over into Equestria... for reasons...

:applejackconfused:

4499953 So stress makes one's mind go into another dimension.

:facehoof:

yeah...

4501828 It can do that, and far worse. You must not have much experience with PTSD.:ajbemused:

4502448 No, you're missing the point. The other commentor was suggesting that the stress LITERALLY made the boy's mind go into another dimension.

That's just plain silly.

4502581 Meh, it's all fiction, anything is possible. Like I said, I left the ending up to the reader's interpretation. If that's what he wants to believe...:pinkiehappy:

Mebbe one day I'll post my own headcanon... Soon as my muse makes up her mind.:pinkiecrazy:

4501828
If you're working with a multiverse where Equestria is real, then I don't see why not.

Aaand REJECTED BY EQD! Woohoo!:pinkiehappy:

They didn't even bother to give a reason this time.:rainbowlaugh:

4502868 :ajbemused:

I should not have to explain why that is ridiculous.

4503233
They don't anymore. It speeds up response times.
4506192
Magic is pretty ridiculous. I'm not scared of braking some rules of reality and logic when that's involved.

I really enjoyed this. It could use a little work, but it was still a great story.

4508403 Waving your hands and exclaiming, "It's MAAAAAAGIC!!" is an excuse best left to satires of bad writing.

4512963
I'm not a writer and the fic has left the answer up to the reader's imagination. There is no bad writing or satire present here.

I swear, this made me cry...so...hard...:fluttercry:

You, sir, are a...are a...damn it, there are no words that can adequately sum up your mastery of the feels.

4517768 It helps to feel them before you write them.:pinkiesmile:

Let's just say, I have emotional issues. :pinkiesad2:

Naa, fuck that, I have a subscription.:pinkiecrazy:

4513875 And leaving things up to a reader's imagination when nothing is given to support any conclusions is also a very lazy writing trope.

Wow, this was good!

However, there was something I totally disliked: that moment when Twillight knocked Pinkie out against her own will. I'm quite sure that if I were Pinkie, I'd have never forgiven Twillight for that, moreover, I would most likely have developed some sort of unicorns phobia and racism. I mean, she thinks that just because she has her magic, that means she can do anything to me whenever she wants? Am I her puppet or something?! Unforgivable! Completely and totally unforgivable!

4518190 bro just like how I Am NOT A Pony made me hate Luna this had the feels:pinkiesad2::fluttercry:

"The feels" as the other insane ponies around here may say. Is something of which I felt within my place where my heart once was, but since I have no heart. I did not shed one year while reading this.
I felt how both characters felt in the story. Pinkie Pie betrayed by her friends. And told she was crazy, and should be fixed. When all it is is she is different from the way they think. And John. Or Johnny, alone and sad as he had lost his father, due to an accident he was also in. And that like he shouldn't awaken until he feels he's truly ready, when he can take the world's harsh environment.
All in all I understand both sides. And leaving it up to the reader to decide which Alternate Universe this takes place in, whether it is Equestria, or the Human world. Or it could be both. And what will happen, and how, and why. Is just splendid.
I loved reading this story, and admire the writer for writing it. I have a somewhat similar idea in mind I want to write. But then again, it's also completely different. So. I bid you all farewell readers of my comment. And hope you have a splendid day.

Sincerely,
~Flow

Dude, those feels. You hit that chord and it made me, quite literally, vibrate where I was sitting. One of my friends had to reach over and steady me I was shaking so much.:ajsleepy:

It felt like I had an Iron weight in my chest; I had that feeling recently, that weight of... despair.:fluttershysad: I had to get my heart rate up to calm down.
Must be the depression fighting to the surface.:pinkiesick:

I like how you subverted a lot of HiE tropes. The scene where they first meet really caught my attention. Unfortunately, I found the rest lacking. Why's everyone gotta send Pinkie to an asylum? :/

THIS IS THE SADDEST FUCKING THING I HAVE EVER READ:fluttercry::raritycry::heart:

The story could use much improvement, especially with how everyone was incline to send Pinkie to the asylum without a legitimate cause. But the premise was still............heavy and caused me to think. And the ending was bitter in my humble opinion. Poor mother.
