An Azure Future: Alternate Epilouge.
I promised myself I wouldn’t write this...
Fuck.
***A One week coma and Three conscious ones later.***
John climbed wearily out of her bed, she was still slightly sore from when she chugged a good third of her whiskey. Not that the name ‘John’ really suited her at all anymore. She had been a mare for about a month now. She looked at the alarm clock by the bed. Three o’ four pm. Aw, hell. Azure must be waiting.
She sighed and trotted outside and down the stairs. She brushed off the stares and greetings, which had taken a turn for the uncomfortable. Not to mention that she seemed to be in the longest heat EVER. The doctors claimed the alcohol, coma, potion, and sunlight were to blame. John muttered silent curses to these elements everyday.
She finally came to the truck, thankful that the whole thing was voice operated. Hopping inside she started the truck and set its destination to Azure’s school.
*************************
The truck screeched to a stop in front of a very pissed off looking Azure. “Hey buddy, hope in!”
“You’re late, ‘Dad’.” He accused. John had made it clear once he woke up that he still wanted to be adressed as ‘Dad’ and sometimes Azure liked to poke fun at John’s unfortunate situation.
“You’re stupid. Now hop in.” John shot back.
“Sooo...”
“So?”
“Park today dad?”
“Yeah, sure. What are supposed to be covering today? Basic flight mechanics and maneuvers?” John tried to recall.
“You’re supposed to be keeping track of that!”
John though for a bit, “Yeah, yeah its mechanics and maneuvers.”
In short order the very odd father and son arrived at the park. Getting out of truck, the pair was heading to their usual spot when the unthinkable happened.
“Uh, excuse me miss, I’ve never seen you around before and you’re very pretty. I was just wondering if you were available later for some tea?” John spun around, revealing a blushing white unicorn stallion.
Oh lord. “Uh... well... that’s... very nice, and I thank you for the offer but I’m busy later...” John tried to doge. No reason to really hurt the poor guy.
“Well, how about tomorrow?” He offered. Oh holy fucking shit. TAKE A HINT!
“Ummm... actually I’m REALLY busy this weekend too...” John issued strike two. Azure was barely containing his laughter.
“Oh... Well, when ARE you available.” Strike three.
“I like mares.” You’re out. Azure could no longer contain himself and started laughing hysterically.
“Oh. I’m terribly sorry m’am.” The stallion quickly disappeared, clearly embarrased.
“Now where were we Azure? Ah yes.” John took off thirty feet into the air and was joined by Azure after he recovered from his laughing fit. “Basic flight mechanics and manu-”
A voice chimed in, cutting him off, “Excuse me miss...”

It's ok, I'm used to hate. If you don't wanna do something, don't do it because your fans want you to. Just a good rule of thumb right there.

Help my buddy here.
He could use an editor.
i know you do. but it is so much fun!
I prefer the male version. Just the same, I can't help but think there is a little bit of karma in her situation (not enough, sure but still).
HAHAHAHHHA!

You have no idea.
Well that was a fun read. Excellent job, mate! Now to see if you add some of his other shenanigans.
Your writing could be cleaner, but your story was cute and your characters were interesting and likeable. I look forward to reading the sequel to this.
However, I have to say that I rather dislike the way you ended this. John giving up his humanity for his son's sake? Fully believable and acceptable. John giving up morals and aiding the PER? Far less believable. He is a powerful, clever, and resourceful man, and it was established that he heartily opposed both the HLF and PER's motives and methods. That his response to hearing of the attack on San Diego University and finding Gray at his door is to cut a very loaded deal with Gray to help the PER just seems wrong for his character. Gray, at that time, was a fugitive from the goddess herself. John should have been holding all the cards, but he let Gray make all the demands.
I feel like he should have done something cleverer, more heroic. Or at least... not betray himself and humanity like he did. Not when there were so many other ways he could have handled that.
This needs continuation! I see the potential for lots of comedy.

I revised this chapter on my phone, turning it into something readable not too long ago,
I try to keep an open mind with TCB stories, but this one really, really, really bothers me. The ending makes ZERO sense. After an entire story of wanting to remain human, the protagonist does a complete ideological 180 in the space of a couple paragraphs or so, joins up with known terrorists - known terrorists that have attacked him specifically in the past, no less, helps them carry out an attack, and gases a cop who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And all this... so the PER would convert him? Something their entire organization is sworn to do regardless? And he never thinks to call them on that? Or, ya know, go to a Conversion Bureau and get a legitimate conversion done by trained professionals at any time he pleases?
And the entire sum of his comeuppance for the whole mess is... he feels bad for a couple seconds, and Celestia scolds him. Gently. And then immediately lets him off the hook.
Just... GAH! Head! Hurts!

Read Yellowstone The Series, ep 3 takes place at John's Tower.
I reference most Cameos I receive as long as they dont mess up what I am doing and I can find a place for it.

Furthermore, being a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes, this story has a 'noodle incident' or two. Namely Johns dog inicdent as a minor one and John breaking Soarin's wing as more of a major one.

Ya gonna read her the r63 things?
Anyways, no problem. I had fun writing it, that people liked it was a total miracle that I will never understand...

There may or may not be another alt ending

Actually, he couldn't go to a Conversion Bureau, as Krass specifically stated that THEY WERE ALL CLOSED! Paying attention to the STORY, one can see that Celestia cut off all Conversion Bureaus and all legal production of the serum. ONLY THE PER had viable solution left. While I agree the last bit of the story did have some whiplash, be sure to not have such obvious errors in your criticism, especially when making said criticisms sound smart-aleck-y.
DONT CARE! *Raises arms and runs off into the distance, laughing all the way.*
*then falls off a cliff*
