Previous ChapterAlternate ending: At the stroke of midnight
(This ending occurs starting at the point where you first get the letter).
You look at the letter in astonishment, this is horrible. But you knew what you had to do, you couldn't stay here. You don't belong in this world. It would be unfair to those who don't get to live their dreams. You just look up, and wonder how you'll explain it to the others. You decide to go to the library to tell Twilight you've decided to go back to your world. You start to walk towards the library. You let out a sigh, and thoughts of all that had happened rush back through your head. It had been so overwhelming.
It starts to rain, you walk into the library, soaked. Twilight says "So, you've decided to stay?" she says, with an expectant look.
"No, actually, I've decided to leave. I don't belong here, in this world." You say to Twilight, you have a look of pure despair on your face. You wanted to stay, but you just couldn't live with yourself if you did.
"Oh...that's...too bad..." Twilight sounds and looks incredibly disappointed, maybe even melancholy.
You look up and tell her "It's not like I don't want to stay, but it wouldn't be fair for me to do this for myself, Some people live there lives never being given an opportunity to be happy, and personally, I could never live with myself knowing I have that opportunity, but no one else will. You understand what I'm saying?"
"I understand..." Twilight says, she looks away. Sorrowfully.
You decide the best course of action would be to wait it out, away from the ponies, in order to avoid any attempts to get you to stay. You walk out, sorrowfully. You couldn't bring yourself to talk to Rarity, you wouldn't be able to bear the sadness on her face, her sweet, lovely, face. You feel a wet tear slowly descending down your face. Everything had just happened so fast, you really don't know what happened. You hadn't any time to process it, really.
You look at the clock, and it's about a minute from midnight, you look up at the beautiful stars, and start to ponder what has happened. Suddenly, you feel dizzy, everything suddenly turns to black.
When you open your eyes, and look around, you are greeted by the sight of your apartment's walls. You look at your screen, it's still open to the E-mail you received from the mysterious stranger. You look, and notice you actually have a new E-mail. It looks almost like a reply to the first one you received, that started all of this, it reads;
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Hello friend.
I have noticed that you decided not to stay, and live your dreams. It's a shame really, but I see that your obligation to be fair to others has driven you to not even live out your dream, even if you'd never directly face consequences for it. I'm actually fairly impressed that you came to such a morally sound decision. And so I've decided you should not go unrewarded for your pious nature. I have decided to help you, one final time. Outside of your city, to the North West, on a hill you certainly will not recognize.
On top of the hill, there is a mansion, it is five stories tall, it is complete with everything you could ever want. It has beautiful gardens, fountains, a hot tub, a new computer for you, a generator so you don't have to worry about paying for electricity or losing electricity, and much, much more. You might feel like you don't deserve this, but you do, truly. And you can share the benefits of this with everyone you want.
To own this beautiful estate, just look in your drawer, inside, you will find a key and a deed, the key is for the front door.
Your friend,
Suprememessage
