Lauren shook herself like a dog. The entire journey from Equestria back to earth had been like riding a roller-coaster filled with a rainbow laser show. Had this been like, when she first appeared in Equestria?
Focus Lauren. You need to figure out where you are and how to best get back to your husband. Oh...I'm still a pony...hmm...oh dear, I spent way too much time with Celestia.
Grinning like a mischievous Pinkie Pie, the queen of Equestria spread her wings and took off into the air. So far, she seemed to have landed in the middle of nowhere. The only thing she knew was that she was in 50 mile radios close to her home. Teleporting from one world to another wasn't exactly an easy task, not to mention you couldn't exactly choose your destination. Hence the situation the queen found herself in. Luckily Cadance gave her a little something that should speed up things. Using her magic, Lauren levitated a small red gem out of her saddle bags. The little thing was enchanted by Cadance, allowing Lauren (and basically everyone who had it) to find their special someone again. Feeling a tug on her horn, Lauren took off into the air, not even bothering hiding from the planes flying around.
Craig resisted the urge to sigh, as he approached the podium. It had been exactly a year, since his wife disappeared, as if she was being sucked into a black hole or something. Over months he had been devastated. It didn't particularly helped that the police didn't find a clue about her whereabouts and even suspected himself for a time.
And now he was standing here at bronycon, at the exact place where his wife normally would stand and open up the biggest brony party in the world.
"I know you are all worried about me and Lauren. And if I am honest, up until a week ago, I was sure I wouldn't come here. So what changed?" he rhetorically asked the masses of cosplaying humans in front of him.
"Well, I was thinking. Thinking about what Lauren would have wanted. And she definitely would not have wanted me to just mope around at home or even cancel bronycon. This is her life's work. Ever since she was a child, she loved my little pony. And when Hasbro offered her a chance to make the fourth installation in the My little Pony TV-Series" he laughed a little "it was for her as if Christmas, Eastern and her own birthday had fallen on the same date. I'm not exaggerating, when I tell you she was like Pinkie Pie on a sugar rush."
There were a few laughs in the audience, as well as some whispers.
"And look where her enthusiasm lead us to? I'll be honest, when I first heard about this fandom, I thought this was some kind of elaborate prank. A group of people, who were bored sitting in front of their PCs. I'm sorry if I'm so blunt, but hey, honesty is an Element of Harmony, isn't it? Needless to say, it wasn't a prank." He shook his head. "Imagine the reaction of the CEO of Hasbro, when this fandom grew and grew. So here we are. As you can probably tell, I'm not good with speeches. So-"
"Oh, I don't know about that." Interrupted a voice loud enough to be projected throughout the entire building. "I mean for a first time, it certainly was not bad at all. Though we do need to work on your wording, honey."
Lauren dispersed the invisibility spell around her and appeared right next to the man, who jumped backwards upon the sudden appearance of the animal. Several gasps and shrieks could be heard throughout the audience. The shock that was apparent on everyone's face, quickly changed to one of amazement. Most people thought this was some kind of holographic projection or something. Craig in the meantime wasn't sure if this was some kind of bad joke or if someone forgot to inform him about this kind of thing.
Lauren in the meantime kept her excitement as best as possible at bay. Her horn lightened up, as she used her magic. Suddenly Craig found himself glowing in the same strange light as the horn of the alicorn in front of him and all of the sudden flew through the air into the outstretched wings of the pony. With ease, Faust caught her surprised husband with ease and nuzzled his cheek. Craig himself was too stunned to question anything that was happening around him.
"I missed you, Craig." Lauren whispered into her husbands ear.
Without giving Craig a chance to even say anything, Lauren summoned her magic once again and levitated EVERY SINGLE HUMAN into the air.
"Just in case, you had some doubts that I am really back."
You really shouldn't have written this.
Now that is how you let everyone know you are back and being awesome!
6782168 Sorry, am bored. Needed to do something.
6782172 I was never gone. Awesome? I'm not a pegasus.
...I am so glad this isn't the ending.
6782183 Huh? Alright.
Please keep going on this story. Will wait for next chapter
6782188 I am waiting for a guest chapter. Guess the holidays got in the way.
Oh Pfffft.
6782195 How should I interpret this?
... Someone in the fanart community please draw the ending!
6782206 Really? Does anyone even know how the guy looks? And if they're at it, I could need another alicorn drawing.
6782226 Since I cannot answer a face, what's that profile pic supposed to be?
lol
6782193 ya probably
6782202
Italicized hilarity.
6782243 Ah.
Oh Man, that was just perfect, before the end of the Year but after Christmas, this was a great chapter, I can't wait to see what happens next, any chance you can bring the next chapter out before the 7th of January, that is my just so happens to be my birthday.
6782265 Ask Gale Singer, he's responsible for the next real chapter. He's also my editor.
If you really need a chapter edited this badly, I have the next two hours free.
Like the ending of this chapter, awesome Happy that this story isn't ending
If you're waiting for your editor to provide a guest chapter, please allow me to do a guest edit
the comma here is actually not needed.
radius
him
the two places of where Bronycon appears, it should be capitalized Alternate spelling is BronyCon. However, "biggest brony party" need not be.
Easter
husband's
I think those are the most glaring errors I can see. There might be others, but I'm not sufficient enough of a grammarnazi to spot them.
Still looking forward to the continuation of this & the other Faust story you're working on
6782386 Thanks. I#ll include it once I'm over the jumpscares (horror game)
6782229 Pinkie Pie in a fox costume for Nightmare Night.
Yeah, so I haven't had any time to myself for the past week, let alone time to write... sooo yeah. Also I have 21 unread chapters, so I'm going to have to fix that before it gets any worse...
On a side note, guess what? Connor Cogsworth updated his sequel to On a Cross and Arrow, after over a years hiatus!! I was so glad to move it out of my 'Dead fics" shelf back over to my Tracking.
6782277 Okay then, I'll send him a message once I can find him, anyway I hope you have a good day, any chance we can get a little sneak peek for what you got planned for the next chapter?
6782229 Its a Pinkie Pie Fox, She looks like a Red Fox but she is Pinkie Pie, much like my name on here PinkiePieFox
999 like.
put my like in.
1000 like.
I am confuse now.
So.., you skip many things to 1 year later that Lauren went back to earth?
And this chapter is a guest chapter?
Or this chapter is not a guest chapter, but you want others write guest chapter?
6783252
He's been waiting for a guest writter to finish their chapter.
He's been feeling unmotivated lately so he wrote this (short non-full chapter) as a non cannon look into how he was thinking he'd write the end.
Sort of like a bonus chapter some writters do when they're in a funk or have writters block.
Not an actual chapter? BBBBOOOOOO.
Also I don't want Faust going back to Earth.
6783928 LOL
You make me laugh
Heh got a chuckle from me, but this would indeed have been a pretty boring ending.
Lots of silly weirdness going on, for example I doubt Craig would lead the opening ceremonies, but it's still pretty fun for a gag chapter.
Keep going! ;)
Still a pony, huh? Should have used the Mirror of Worlds, Lauren!
Personally, I would have written this by having Lauren swoop down, grab Craig in her magic and dump him on her back and then fly off again with him before anyone thinks to say or do anything, because she's just that eager to spend time with him again. Naturally, this is all captured on live TV.
I welcome our new pony overlord!
6783928 Neither do I. Don't know what's gonna happen with Craig but once Faust's memories return could she leave Equestria, and thus her own children behind after being torn from them for so long. Unless of course she gets a way to freely travel between the two worlds.
I thought I'd place comment, tell me if I'm blind. But if there isn't one, I just said: it was nice to consider this a new years gift and whether or not the true ending, it was a pleasant and happy one. I don't mind this ending but I'd rather see this story develop, its I brilliant set up and could be a fantastic story. I'll wait to see what happens.
Also do I remember reading somewhere that this story was set before the Royal Canterlot Wedding or is that an assumption I've made... When is it set?
6784429 I am stolonk Russian, you funny.

6800685 THE HORROR
6783928
For future reference, when typing something meant to be dragged out, a rule of thumb is that you repeat the vowels only and, if you want, the soft, or fricative consonants (S,Z,F, ext...), so it should be BOOOOO.
The way you have it would be stuttering on the b-sound, a hard consonant, for a few seconds before getting to the o-sound you meant to extend.
... It's a pet peeve.
Lauren, no! Think of the Galaxy Girls!
I need moar!!
cries at lack of moar!!!
Man.......the last chapter led me to believe that Craig woul accedently coe to Equestria!!! "wisper wisper wisper" Oh? "wisper wisper" Really?! "wisper wisper wisper whisper!!" Welllp..........I just realized that part of this chaper title says "How this story won't end!!!" I'm silly sometimes!!! Though, could you pull craig into this??? If so that would be awesome!!!
I'd totally believe the he murdered her rumors right up until she levitated everyone.
I'm confused on what the fuck just happened. Was this a oneshot or the actual story?
