One day, Burst woke up. And he found people looking at him. Maybe Pinkie can help explain what's going on. This is going to be one crazy weekend.

Hi there audience! Yeah. I know you're out there! It's me, Burst Stream! So I bet you're wondering how I know you're there. Well, you can thank Pinkie for that one. Now I've gotta move before the author starts the story! Have fun reading!

So I'm in a work of fiction. Sweet.

Burst slowly stirred from his slumber. However, he wasn't awoken by Moon's kiss. No, this was a voice. Many voices in fact. Burst finally got out of bed, and his eyes went wide at the sight before him. There were people watching him. And at that moment, his mind was panicking. 'Who are these people?! Why are they looking at me?! What do they want?!' Burst then noticed a portal and saw Pinkie step through!

"Hi there Burst!", Pinkie chirped. "Oh. Hi audience!"

"Pinkie. You KNOW these people? Who are they?"

"Oh. That's the audience. Looks like you can break the fourth wall too."

"Fourth...wall?"

"You see Burst, we're in what people would consider a story. There's people reading about us right now! And it's not just this story! The audience has kept up with ALL of your adventures!"

"Really?"

"Uh huh!", Pinkie said with a goofy smile.

"I guess I'm pretty popular.", Burst then turned to the audience. "So are you the only one who knows about this?" Pinkie smiled.

"I've got a friend who knows about this!" Another portal opened and Burst's jaw dropped!

"HELLLLOOOO AUDIENCE!", Deadpool bellowed as he stepped out. "Did ya miss me? Hey Pinkie! So who's the new guy who got introduced to the wall?"

"This is Burst Stream!"

"Oh yeah. The dragon boy. What's up man?" Burst and Deadpool then fist-bumped. "BTW, NICE job on scoring Celestia and Moon. Though I don't know how that didn't cause a love triangle."

"I don't know either.", Burst said.

"Oh! I know who has the answers!", Pinkie said. "Follow me through the portal!"

Meanwhile with the author...

"Well this story is certainly new. But why did I write..?" Pinkie then jumped out of the computer!

"Hi author!"

"Uh...hi?! How did you get into my house?!"

"It's not just me!" Deadpool and Burst then stepped through the computer portal.

"So this is the guy who made my adventures possible?", Burst asked.

"Uh...yeah?"

"Then I have one question for you. After all the badguys I've fought, and the relationships I've made....did I put on a good show?"

".....You're the main character Burst. You've put on the BEST show."

"Nice. Hey, what's up with Deadpool?"

"I sense a great disturbance in the comments section! Come! We must investigate!" Deadpool, Burst and Pinkie went through the computer and made a mad dash for the comments section. And the sight before them was unbelievable!

"Blitz Surge?! I thought I destroyed you!", Burst shouted.

"Oh you did. After I was destroyed, my awareness of the fourth wall began! And during your adventures, I've been gaining strength while the author has been making stories! Now, you meet your demise!"

"Trying to summon your Blue Eyes Darkness Saber? You might want to try flicking your wrist when you extend your arm.", Burst said.

Blitz Surge scowled as he did as Burst said.

"Next you'll say: 'You insect! How could you possibly know?", Burst said with a smirk.

"You insect! How could you possibly know?! Huh?!" Blitz was confused!

"For my next glimpse into the future, you'll now say: 'Burst! I'll destroy you!"

"Burst! I'll destroy you!", Blitz screamed!

"Pinkie, Deadpool, I've got this." Burst then charged up energy in his fist as his dragon wings materialized! As Blitz was just inches away from him, Burst unleashed a devastating punch right into Blitz's face! "White Lightning Overdrive!" The force and energy from Burst's attack sent Blitz flying into one of the comments! Blitz then picked up the comment he had landed on and hurled it at Burst! Burst jumped onto the comment and ran along it!

"What?! How can you do that?!", Blitz screamed as Burst closed in!

"We're based off an anime. Physics has no dominion here!", Burst replied with a smirk! "Meaning....SHORYUKEN!"

"I knew I liked him.", Deadpool said with a smile under his mask! "Finish him with an ultra combo!" Burst nodded.

"Shinku...."

"Nooooo.", Blitz protested. "No no no!"

"....HADOKEN!" Burst sent a blast of energy flying at Blitz Surge!

"NO NO NO NO NO AAAAUUUUUUGGGHHHH!", Blitz screamed as he began to disintegrate! "This isn't over!"

"Oh yes it is!", I said. "I let you in this story, and I'm taking you out of it!"

"WHAT?! NOOOOOOO!!!!" Blitz Surge was erased!

"And that's the end of that."

"Thanks author!", Burst shouted. "Pinkie. Can you get me back to my house?" Pinkie smiled.

"Sure! See you in the epilogue!"

Moon was waking up and heard Burst singing downstairs. She made her way down and gave him a kiss. "You're up early.", she said with a smile. Burst smiled in kind.

"Next you're going to say: 'I missed waking you up."

"I missed waking you up. Wait, how did you know?"

"Uhhhh, I watched Jojo's Bizarre Adventure?" Moon was silent for a moment.

"I can't believe I missed that reference! So what woke you up early?"

"Just wanted to surprise you. We're headed to Sugar Cube Corner for breakfast. They've got the freshest pastries out early."

"A sweet morning both literally and figuratively. Hey Burst, I've got a question."

"What is it Moon?"

"It's been in my head since I first started dating you and Celestia was willing to share. If you had to choose just one of us, who would it be?"

"You're kidding. You're kidding right? Tell me you're not trying to start a 'who's my favorite' thing. Please."

"I'm not!", Moon said with a mischievous smile. "So what's your answer?"

"To be honest, it'd be hard to choose. Both of you are kind and sweet. You're both drop dead gorgeous. And I've had a really good relationship between the both of you. But while I had a crush that was realized when I started dating Celestia, the relationship we had grew over time. But the hardest part is that both of you seem so happy with me. And...I don't know if I could ever bare the thought of either of you being unhappy." Moon smiled.

"Then you better invite Celestia on this little breakfast date. We wouldn't want her to feel left out would we?"

Burst smiled. "I just texted her after I was downstairs. She's already on her way there."

"Then let's not keep her waiting."

"I'll get us there." Burst then summoned his dragon wings. "Hold on tight."

"No problem." Burst and Nightmare soon landed at Sugar Cube Corner and waited for Celestia. She showed up moments later.

"Hope I'm not late.", she said with a smile.

"Nope. We were just early.", Burst said as he kissed her. As they went inside, a thought came into Burst's head. 'I wonder which ship the audience likes more? Me, Celestia, and Moon? Me and Celestia? Or me and Moon? Eh, leave that to the author to add in the author's notes section.'
