What If: My Second Life

Ending: The Book Closes

Author's Note: Well everyone, it's been a good run. This was my first ever fic here on FIMFiction, and I thank you all for putting up with the twists and bullshit antics I've put into this story. Many will be sad to see this go, some will be happy. Most will understand why, some will not. Please understand why I'm doing this. For my sake, don't badger me with questions why it's ending, because you'll either get a response that will be mundane, or just not get a response. The spiritual successor to this story is Horns, Hooves, and Fur by ShadowWeaver and myself. I hope to see you all in my many upcoming fics, and I hope to have a nice long run here on the site. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

As the time rolled by, my head started to fill with images and what seemed like videos of the adventure that Black Gold went on that prior day filled my mind. I blinked after what seemed like hours and shook my head. “This is some fucked up shit...”

I know this. I wrote that fucked up shit.

“...What in the fuck? Aksheal?! Are you fucking with me again?!!”

This is not the work of your dream personality Jason... This is the work of the author. Me. Craimer.

“Yeah, sure, like I'm going to believe that. Prove to me that you 'wrote' my fucked up life.”

Very well. I shall do so. A sharp pain against Jace's left ear was felt as he questioned about this 'author.' What felt like liquid spilled from his head and holding a hand to the point of where the pain was felt, he saw his hand covered in crimson blood.

“AHHH! Fuck! Stop! STOP! I BELIEVE YOU!”

The bleeding ceased as the author's hands made contact with the keys on the keyboard; willing away Death yet another time.

As you can see, I wrote that. You were bleeding, now you're not. I can control what happens to you Jace and, quite frankly, you've served your roll in this world.

“'Served my roll?!' what the fuck are you going on about?! I haven't served enough here in Equestria! I have so much to do, so much to learn!”

Jace, listen to me. If you continue to live here your life will get more and more complicated and will drive you to the point of insanity. If you delved into my mind, you would know why. This is for your own good Jace... I'm sorry but, you will be put up on the shelves and saved for another story in the future.

“So..You're going to kill me off? What the fuck is this?! The goddamn ending to a bad fan-fiction?!”

Spot on my friend. You are part of a fan-fiction. Hard to take in I'm sure, but this is for your own good. It's not that I'm tired of writing your adventures, it's because I'm doing it out of respect for a friend. I honestly couldn't care less what you think of this moment right now, but all I have to tell you is goodbye. But not forever.

“This is really happening... Well... Goddammit. Just... God, fucking, dammit.”

I can handle any of your last requests if this is bothering you Jason. I can do anything you want me too.

“Could... Could I be with Coal and the girls? I... Just need to see them one last time.”

I shall accept this request. As Jace sat in the park, he slowly started to see his friends filing into the play area. The six ponies looked confused as they talked to one another, wondering what compelled them to come to this area in the first place.

“Jace! What in tar-nation is goin' on?! Why are we all here?!”

“Girls... Just... Please. Calm down. I know this is weird but... Just wait for Coal.”

Not a moment after he said that, Coal's figure came into view as he walked into the park.

“Who in tha hay was that?!”

I am the one who brought you all here to begin with. I am the author, or Craimer as you may call me. I am basically your God, the creator of your actions, affections, and all things in between.

“Ha! Sure! Whatever dude. Nobody can be more powerful than the Princesses!”

Thank you for bringing them up Rainbow Dash... Because they're standing right behind you...

“Girls? Jace? Coal? What is going on here?! How did I even get here!?!”

Princess Celestia, please, calm yourself. This is a gathering to say goodbye to one another. For I am shutting the book to Jace and Coal's life. They have had good lives here in Equestria, but to be honest, I cannot keep going with their lives. For me, it is impossible in ways you will never be able to understand. So please, take this time to say your goodbyes to one another, I shall write you happy endings all around.

The group of friends were dumbfounded, asking questions that Craimer could not answer. They eventually gave up, and went to the two humans that made their lives hell, but most of the time they brought joy and happiness to them all.

The minutes snailed by as they all made their proper goodbyes. Leaving Coal to be with his lover, Jace walked out of the park to think more on this situation.

“Why us Craimer? Why can't we just live our lives like everyone else?”

Because every good book must have an ending, literally and metaphorically speaking. You are one of the greatest books I've ever created in all my life, and I want to end you off with a proper storybook ending. I can give you more requests to tie up loose ends if you'd wish to have that 'happily ever after' ending.

“Take me to Vinyl. I want to do something to make this the best ending I can have. Heh, I seem so selfish for thinking this, but I know you'll give Coal a good ending as well.”

He has had his ending. To be with the ones he loved. There is one more thing I must do for him but for now, this is your time.

As Jace pushed the doors to the mansion open, Vinyl was walking down the staircase, staring at him. “Jace! Where were you?! I didn't see you come out of the bedroo-” A held up hand stopped Vinyl in mid sentence.

“Uhh, who in the hell is talking?”

“Craimer. The author. He's here to end the story.”

“Pffft! Jace, you need to lay of the cider man!”

No, he's right Vinyl. I'm here to end this tale that you and Jace reside in. I know that you will not understand this either, but, Jace has something he wants to do to make his ending satisfactory, and I am the only one who can do this for him.

As Jace approached his marefriend, he fell to his knees, tears welled up inside of his eyes. He pulled her in close, burying his face in the electric blue mane that belonged to Vinyl. His tears matted down the mane in several places, making it look patchy.

“Jace, this can't be happening! It shouldn't be happening!” The DJ looked into her lover's eyes, her own tears starting to form.

“I can't control this Vinyl. But there is one thing that I can.” Pulling a felt box out of his pocket, he moved it to where Vinyl could see and he flipped it open, revealing a golden ring that shined in the lighting of the mansion. “Vinyl Scratch,” Jace moved her head to look into his eyes. “Will you marry me?”

The group of ponies from the park all watched as Jace did this, sobbing as they too realized this was really the end of Jace and Coal. Coal walked over to a sobbing Jace and picked him up off the ground, hugging him close and looking at the girls. “Goodbye. We'll always remember you.”

The lighting the the world slowly intensified, until it was blinding. A page moved into view that everybody could see but it was not physically there. The words 'THE END' were printed on the page, signifying that this, was truly the end.

The end, of What If: My Second Life.
