In total, I gave you twelve questions and the results are fluctuating. So, what I plan to do, to make sure that everyone can vote for Part II, is that voting is going to be a week-long, meaning the next chapter will take at least two weeks. This is the best way I can balance between writing stories, College, and Work. I know what you're thinking, why so long even though you planned it? Well, I make the plan where the story will with a flow diagram, but writing the story is another matter. So I hope you understand that the process takes time to do.

Anyway time for our final segment, the summary of what could have been. These summaries are going to be a paragraph long of what would happen if Emerson chose a different city. I had a plan for each one and what Emerson's fate would be. The first one below is what happened in Ponyville and then the summary, but since you guys have read the story there will be no need.

Ponyville

Status: Couple

Job: Librarian

House: Mansion

Power: Jade

Summary: This story.

Crystal Empire

Status: Married

Job: Royal Guard

House: Apartment

Power: Jade

Summary: If Emerson chose to go to the Crystal Empire, he will immediately fall for a Unicorn named Fleur de Lis. She will not notice him because Emerson would have failed to talk to her. Reason? Shenanigans of course. He joins the Royal Guard under Cadance and is trained by Shining Armor. Fleur de Lis, that Emerson likes, is captured by some Diamond Dogs and he rescues her while combining with Jade in the process. Time skips by as Emerson and Fleur de lis falls in love with him and they get married. However, a warning is given to Emerson by the Crystal Heart that Sombra will be returning to take the Empire and Equestria as they know it.

Manehatten

Status: Couple

Job: Construction

House: Flat

Power: Jade

Summary: If Emerson chose to go to Manehatten, he would be neighbors with Coco Pommel. He gets a job in Construction, building a new Skyscraper being the main one. Coco and Emerson have to leave their complex because the owner couldn't keep up with the payments and is going to be destroyed. After they left, they eventually get together and share a Flat so they could save some bits. Time passes and they have become a couple. While digging up on the construction site, Emerson digs up a crystal and combines with Jade that way. When Emerson gets adjusted to her, she leads him to the Tree of Harmony where they will talk and the warning will be given. The Pony of Shadows is somehow leaking back into Equestria and is growing in between dimensions.

As you can see, each one had a plan with the same kind of path, just with different results here and there. This plan took me around two months with a decision tree that extended to many decisions, this is just the simplified summarized version of that tree. Not sure how long Part II will take, but I'll be sure to give everyone updates on it if any. For now, this has been Tank Drill, I hope you guys enjoyed my Interaction Story and you had fun controlling Emerson on what, who, and where he does things.
