What if it Ends?
Pinkie Pie let out a sigh of relief and smiled a happy smile after The Wall left. The fact it had returned for a short bit to give her visions of the future made her joyful with the realization of something she had been worried about for a while now.
The world wasn't going to end
After the events with Tirek, she knew that it was the end of the run for this 'season', and that it was possible there wouldn't be another.
Having The Wall show up again meant that it was going to continue, giving everyone she knew and the world itself approximately another year of guaranteed existence.
Her anxiety levels having calmed, she happily trotted out of the sparkly, new castle that had grown from the box the Tree of Harmony had given them.
All the ponies in town around her waved and smiled, to which she responded with a wave and a smile back.
But despite the happiness she felt from seeing all her friends grins and joyfulness, she desperately wanted to get back to her loft at Sugarcube Corner.
So the pink pony picked up her pace, and trotted quickly home. Past the other towns ponies, past customers at the bakery she worked at, past Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and quickly into her bedroom, shutting the door behind her.
Looking at Gummy, she sighed. "Sometimes it's hard being the only one who understands."
The young mare flopped onto her bed and stared up at the ceiling, continuing to speak to her pet alligator. He was such a good listener when she needed it.
"I mean, even Twilight doesn't see The Wall! And she's the smartiest-smart pony ever!" Her smile turned into a slight frown.
'Why can I feel it if nopony else can?' Her thoughts went to the question she constantly asked herself whenever she felt The Wall influencing her decisions.
Every so often, she'd get a feeling, a drive, a strange sort of need to do something, go somewhere, or say something, all while she felt like she was on stage in front of thousands of ponies.
And yet every decision she knew was influenced felt natural, as if it's something she'd do no matter what, even when she knew she wouldn't.
"Oh Gummy, the times The Wall isn't here are great, but sometimes when it is....." she shuddered at many memories, such as the time Fluttershy became 'assertive'. How could nopony notice through events like that that something wasn't right?
Why was everypony so blind, except for her?
Pinkie sighed again. "You know Gummy, none of this really bothers me.....I mean, I still get to have fun with all my friends, and throw parties whenever I want, and The Wall even lets us go on adventures! But...."
Her small frown became a bigger, worried frown.
"What about when it ends....?"
She was painfully aware of the fact that she was being watched whenever The Wall was around. Sometimes she just felt she needed to set something up, but The Wall wouldn't even be there yet, and then when it was there, she would feel the eyes on her.
But what about when it ended?
It seemed like every time something big happened after many frequent adventures with The Wall, they'd be left alone for a while. Until she started getting short visions of the future where she felt were being watched. Having spent lots of time spreading the word for parties, she figured this was spreading the word for the eyes she felt on her.
After four times, she knew what all this meant. And it made her worry about when it ended.
Would life continue on as normal, just without The Wall?
Would her, her friends, and the whole world, just disappear?
What would become of her?
Pinkie put a hoof to her chin as she pondered all these things.
She thought back through all her experiences with The Wall; all the way back to her oldest memory.
Yes, her oldest memory was of when she was just a little filly, but the oldest memory she had of herself actually being conscious, was a bit before Twilight showed up for the Summer Sun Celebration.
She wouldn't say she wasn't grateful for being created into the world she was in, but knowing that she was just a lesser being, commonly under the influence of The Wall, was unnerving.
Relaxing, she smiled, at least content in knowing she had much longer before she had to face whatever the end held in store for her.

Interesting... wonder if there would be a story where Pinkie speaks to someone from the Wall?
Wow. Nice work. I've never thought about the world that way and thinking of how "the wall" of viewership would influence the pony that could see it is both unnerving and fascinating. Also saw a few of your ideas from your reviews where you talk about the ponies of the show acting out of character. All very interesting.
6140960 Glad you think so ^_^
6141376
^-^
That's definitely an interesting theory.
6158600 Glad you think so!
6158613 And honestly I wouldn't be surprised at it either, considering Pinkie's ability of fourth wall breaking is second to that of Deadpool's.
6161516 That's why I wrote this X3
6161706 Imagine if Hasbro actually did do that.
6161829 oh jeez
6161884 I actually don't know why they don't have her breaking the fourth wall in fact, that'd probably sky-rocket her popularity.
6162988 She stares at the camera a lot. And does gags involving the fourth wall.
6163307 True, but I mean like a serious wall-breaker. Like talking to the audience or something of that nature.
6164112 oh yeah, it'd be awesome if she directly addressed the audience.
The closest was at the end of 'Over a Barrel'.
6164119 How close was that exactly?
6166042 At the end Twilight narrated her letter to Celestia and at the end she said 'You've got to share, you've got to care.'
Pinkie stops the closing circle and goes 'Hey! That's what I said!' then goes back into the show and lets it close.
6167025 Oh that's right!
Yeah that was pretty close to an audience wall-breaker.
i did a dramatic read of your fan ifc
6316827 oh wow, really? Thanks so much! ^_^
6318538 no problem, remember writers can vote
6318569 oh um ok
How did you publish less than a thousand words?
7543055 There's an unpublished second chapter. I had planned to make this a series but cancelled that idea really early on, not long after it was posted. What this story is now is what used to be a prologue.
Well my pink friend, it's a simple really.
As long as The Wall has visited at least once, you and the world will exist in somebody else's memories. Which is enough to continue your life and others.
Even adding more to it.
Read this 2!
Hello 2015 I come from the future do you say hello
9621759
Of course! Hello!
It does certainly feel like a prologue... There could be more...
Hidden chapters? H-m-m...
By now it's just an idea of a story. If it ends here, then, well... A good plot wasted
...

Sorry to disappoint, I know how seeing a good idea go to waste feels awful... 
Yeah I agree that it was an idea with potential, but it wasn't very well executed by me. Doesn't help that it was one of my earlier stories.
The only other chapter written was a rushed second chapter for the sake of submitting the story, since it required a 1,000 word length at least to be approved. It basically was a POV of pinkie from Episode 1 of the show, with pretty much nothing added to the original plot.
Thanks for checking it out though and leaving a comment.

Argh, hearing your sadness through words and seeing your profile picture (sad Pinkie with straightened mane) don't help...
If it may be of consolation, for rather disappointing stories I have a bookshelf with "disappointment" in its title. "May have wasted a good plot" is exactly what it say on its "tin", and stories might improve, if worked-on. Disappointing stories, on the other hand, are not expected to improve, so... Wait, haven't I read some of the stories of yours? Hum-m-m... Can't remember, must have been some time ago...
Well this has sequel material with the show ending already
