Epilogue

I got off Trixie slowly. No words needed to be spoken between either of us. She knew I remembered everything by the look on my face. She slowly sulked away, as I stood there in silence. I slowly trotted back to Ponyville, which was unusually quiet. I opened the door to the Café and was greeted by Pinkie Pie, but once she saw me and my emotional state, she shrunk back and sadly looked after me. I walked to my room and took a look around.

“I don’t belong here.” I said glumly, holding back tears.

I packed some things and went back downstairs. I met Pinkie’s worried gaze with my own.

“I’m sorry, Pinkie.”

“Wait, Earth! What’s going on?! Earth…?”

I took one look at her, and left. As I was trotting throughout Ponyville, the denizens greeted me cheerfully.

I didn’t say anything.

I passed by Rarity, who was desperately looking for Sweetie Belle.

I passed by Twilight, who was shouting for Spike.

I passed by Fluttershy, who was unsuccessfully trying to woo a stallion.

I passed by Rainbow Dash, who’s belly seemed rather portly.

I passed by Applejack, who was being given a hard time by her little sister.

Pinkie Pie tried to keep up with me, to get me to say something, anything…but I couldn't. She eventually stopped trailing me, watching me ascend a hill. I took one last look at Ponyville. My place wasn't here anymore. I didn't know where to go. I could never go back home. I could never go back to Earth. I suddenly remembered my cutie mark and looked at the planet adorning my leg.

“…But I’ll always have the memory, because it’s my namesake. My namesake is my planet. The one I’ll never get to have again…” I said, choking up. I turned away, looking at the vast expanse of land in front of me.

“One day, I’ll return. Until then…” I took out the large hat I bought from Rarity and left it on a nearby post. “…Goodbye.”

Post-Word

So now you have it. That is my story. My comedic tale of love, lust, and sex, and the more tragic truth. It’s hard, really, knowing you can never go home. On some days, I find traveling hard… I have to accept the fact that Equestria is my new home now. And as time goes on, I’m accepting that fact more and more. Memories of my life on Earth slowly begin to fade away. And some days, my thoughts drift back to Ponyville. Pinkie… Applejack…the others…traveling Equestria is fun and all, but I belong in Ponyville.

With my friends.

I think it’s time to go back. With Earth gone, I only have the memory to hold onto. I think that…I think that maybe it’s time to let everyone know my tale.

I think I need to tell them the truth.

It’s time.
