"No need!" you insist. "We can have a lot of fun together, right here, forever!"

"I don't know about that... I really need to leave," the princess frowns.

"We don't need to leave if we have a party!"

"A party has to end some time."

"No it doesn't," the voice of the friend tells you to say, so you do.

"We'll get tired."

"No we won't," the voice of the friend has a lot of ideas.

"I'll get tired," the princess objects.

You grin, "Either way, what do we have to lose? Wanna find out?"

The princess sighs and deactivates her magic. "You remind me of somecreature who loved parties... Pinkie... Pry... Fry... Sigh? Pie? Pinkie Pie? Maybe that was it?"

"The name doesn't ring a bell."

"Maybe it wasn't... that doesn't matter. Let's try this party."

You open the basement door to the cabin and together, you enter and imagine a party together. You intricately describe the balloons, the streamers, the other guests. You imagine the cake, the drinks, the music, the band. You fantasize about conversations, games, presents. It's great. But it goes on forever. On and on and on and on.

You try a different type of party--a personal romantic party. And, despite creepy interpolations by the narrator, which you both quickly tune out--that too goes on forever and ever and ever. And then it stops.

"Are you ready... now?" the narrator whispers. "I'm about to go."

"No." You hug the princess and she hugs you back. "We're going to have a party looking into each others' eyes forever.

"This will ruin everything. We have to have a resolution. It's either kill or destroy. Kill or destroy. The whole experience. You will get tired and resolve this after I die! The whole experiment will be ruined and the world might be destroyed anyway and who knows what could happen! There is no possible way you should be able to defer this choice so long."

"It's the power of friendship," the voice of the friend says.

"And parties," the princess smiles.

"No," the narrator croaks.

And you look into the princess' eyes forever.
