~The Ending: Revelations~
You walk along the beach, looking at the sun as it nears the ocean’s silver line and wonder where that mare could’ve run off to. Surely she’s somewhere nearby, but where? You try your best to comb the sands with such little time, but you’re just way too worn out to run now. Your energy is completely spent, you’re aggravated at making Fluttershy cry and you still haven’t a clue where Pinkie’s gone off to.
You look up to the sky to see a swiveling line and wonder what it is. It’s nearing your destination, and you yell to it, “Hey! Where’s Pinkie?!”
It turns its direction a bit and gets closer. Upon it finally coming into full view, you back up a bit and consider running out of fear. Discord of all beings lands right in front of you with what seems to be Screwball on his shoulder. You blink at him, trying not to let your terror show and ask, “Are you the good Discord, the one Fluttershy’s reformed? Or are you still corrupt?”
He chuckles and explains, “No worries, silly human. I’m reformed and... ugh, yes... good.” He rolls his eyes at that final word and sits to pick up and toss his filly in the air. As Screwball begins to float with her hat twirling to keep her suspended, he continues, “So, you’re the Pinkie chaser I’ve been spying on? Oops, that was supposed to be a secret, just like everything else you’ve been involved in today.”
You lower your eyebrows, curious towards what he’s saying by that and demand, “Explain yourself. What do you mean?”
He places his paw and claw behind his head and just looks at you for a moment, then closes his eyes to seemingly sleep. The relaxing fiend yawns and says, “You know, nopony told me of your arrival. I just felt your presence, and I wondered, now why in Equestria would they bring you here? To be Pinkie’s special present? But wait! Pinkie’s birthday is usually celebrated with her hoping to see her friends happy... So, with nothing better to do, I slipped into my chaotic powers to poke around, and what I found was extremely entertaining.”
Your anger rises at his time wasting, so you plead, “Get to the point, Discord.”
He smirks and utters, “You’re being played with like a fool, my dear gift.”
You back up, wishing it to be a lie and say, “How do you know?”
“Uh, hello?! Discord, being of disharmony and unordered phenomenon? If this doesn’t make sense to you, then you need to watch my show more often.” He sits up and starts explaining more thoroughly. “You awoke tied and gagged, correct? I’ll tell you why you were like that. Twilight was observing your body, inspecting it to catalog everything in the name of research. After all, you’re a foreign entity from another world. Her curiosity was just too strong. The restraints were for protection, in case you woke up and became violent.”
You look down, figuring this to be accurate and allow him to continue.
“Then, after that, Pinkie planted the trail so you’d be lead right to Rainbow Dash. See, that Pegasus pony asked Pinkie to try and get you to give her a belly rub. She’s always wanted one from those things you call fingers. Next up, we have Applejack. Pinkie was never in the barn, which is why you never found her hoof prints anywhere near the area. Applejack wanted to get someone to tell her if her cutie mark tasted like apples, and Rainbow Dash was the only pony anywhere around who she could trust to get you over there and help her out with that.”
Your eyes warily look back and forth at the sands and the water that clash to the shore. “Keep going...”
“With pleasure... Now, Lyra... well, that was unintentional. It was mere chance you ran into her, but Rarity wished to try and design some outfits with you, which is why when you got there, you didn’t have much choice. While she did so, Pinkie hid in a basket. If you’d stayed and kept searching, you might’ve won by then, but instead, you left. Then, that gave her the ultimate opportunity to lead you to Fluttershy. Now, my yellow little friend only wished to see if you were aggressive and uncaring.”
You turn your eyes from the sun to Discord in confusion. “Why would Fluttershy want to know that?”
He gave an evil sounding snicker and claimed, “Because it’s what she’s read. You see, the books in our world depict your kind, the humans, as angry and bloodthirsty barbarians. Of course, that’s because those are from mankind's early, war driven history. She just wanted to prove those documents wrong. Finally, with all this said, do you understand now?”
You nod, frowning at the truth. “I’m not just Pinkie’s present... I’m her friend’s gift as well... I’m here because all this was expertly planned out by Pinkie, huh? All except Applejack and Lyra, but still...”
You look over to see Discord gone, vanished from the sight, and Pinkie at the far off end of the beach. You look over at the sunset and think about everything she’s put you through. You saunter over to her, your fists clenched and wonder what you’re to do, but you have an idea for a punishment, and it just feels so right to carry out, too.
She looks over to you, a smile swept across her face and says, “You found me... Congrats. Now all’s left is for you to grab my tail, and I’m all yours."
You just stand there, a devilish grin creeping from cheek to cheek. Your eyes squint at what you’re about to pull. You know full and well she wants you to catch her. That way, she also gets her present, and everypony wins, even you. If there’s one thing you’ve learned, however, it’s that you don’t like being made a fool. Your arms spread to the sides and you explain, “I’m not sure I want that anymore!”
Her toothy smile fades, and she asks, “What?”
Slightly slapping your hips and leaning your head, you explain, “Discord told me everything, about how I’m just your technical puppet. You’ve been using me all this time so your friends can benefit from your birthday as well, not just you. This whole thing was never about you, was it? It’s been all about me satisfying them. It's all been rigged.”
Pinkie stomps her left hoof in the sand and grumbles, “Darn it, Discord! Why did he have to interfere?!” She looks at you, her mane blowing in the cool breeze and asks, “You’re not seriously going to torture me by doing this, are you?”
You slowly back up, smiling at her disappointment and say, “Consider it punishment for making me go through all this, and making an idiot out of me.”
As the last rays of light began to dissipate over the horizon, Pinkie gallops to you and tackles you to the ground, but it’s too late. The sun has set, and you purposely lose the game. Just to tease her further, you grip the end of her tail and say, “I’ve got you... Too bad I’m out of time, huh?”
She tears up, looking at you in the eyes and sinks her head to your chest. You stroke her mane and let her cry it out. Suddenly, during this time, you feel sorta bad at the rash decision you’ve made. Knowing Pinkie won’t be getting anything for her special day puts guilt in your stomach. Deep inside, you know you’re not a bad person, but there’s nothing you can do about it now, or so you thought.
You hear distinct hoof steps approach you and the sobbing mare. Twilight looks down at you with a seemingly blank expression. “That wasn’t very nice of you...”
You smile and say, “Yeah, I know... Not really like me at all, but I was just so enraged and on edge about the real reason for me being here, I just lost control.”
Twilight nodded and muttered, “It’s not like we didn’t do some messed up things to you, too...”
“But two wrongs never make things right...” You look at the still crying pony and ask, ”Say, Pinkie, considering this is your game, if you want, can’t you change up the rules?”
Pinkie looks up at you with a depressed frown and says, “Well, I suppose so, but I won’t if you really, truly just want to return home. I understand how you must feel, so I won’t force you into doing anything you don’t want to...”
So, you have your final options set. Throughout your time here, you’ve either fondled with many ponies, or left them without an inkling of satisfaction. It’s your choice as well to give Pinkie her present, or leave Equestria now and probably make this the worst birthday Pinkie could’ve ever had. Along with these choices comes the gender option. If you decide to bend the rules for Pinkie, you may either choose to pleasure her as a man or a girl.
