Brett - Due to a severe case of writer's block, Johnny and I have decided to postpone our current (as-of-yet unpublished) story and instead begin work on a sequel to this story. Our original plan was to finish our current story on the Land Before Time archive and then write the sequel to this story. However, since we've run into some problems plotting our newest story we've decided to postpone it and satisfy our readers by allowing them to vote on which sequel they think will satisfy them.
Johnny - We have a list of options for you to vote on through private messages and through reviews. For your convenience we also categorized the plots for our sequel into three categories. Humorous, scary, and romantic/cute. We are considering writing two sequels, hence the crack plots. We hope to create one serious ending and one funny ending for this story.
Brett - I'll probably write the crack sequel and Johnny will write the serious sequel.
Johnny - Of course, if the readers don't want to read a crack ending. Then we'll completely scrap that idea.
Serious endings:
1. Filly Wonka's chocolate factory #1 - Celestia agrees to take Pinkie Pie on a date to Filly Wonka's chocolate factory. The problem is that the factory doesn't actually exist. In order to avoid disappointing Pinkie Pie the princess stages an elaborate ruse where she dresses up a warehouse as a chocolate factory and asks the mane six to help. This ending could be interesting, as the reader's could vote on who would make the best Filly Wonka and who should be the lowly, underpaid, Oompa Loompa's. It would also be nice if someone were to draw some kind of fan art for this idea, but that might be a bit of a long shot.
2. Wanderlust - Sometime last year I had the pleasure of coming across a Cd from a band called Space patrol. One of the songs depicted a traveler wandering inside the vast expanse of space and seeing many wonderful sights. One of these sights is the sun and the moon having intercourse (exact wording), and it occurred to me that if the Pinkie Pie in my story were to come across such a sight it would likely drive her to tears. This is a very appealing option to me since it would allow for more chapters to the story, as well as another coupling. However, since we do not want to write about incest, we plan on having the relationship being with Celestia and the nightmare moon, not Luna. This option also appeals to me because reader's can vote on whether Celestia ends up with the nightmare moon or Pinkie Pie. It is also important to note that instead of sexual intercourse the moon will likely steal a kiss from an unwilling Celestia at the exact moment Pinkie Pie appears. We'll work out the specifics later.
3. Teddy bear - Have any of you ever seen the movie Citizen Kane? Well, this ending is based off of that movie as well as a reader's question of how exactly I would get Princess Celestia to reciprocate Pinkie's affections. The answer came to me as I was watching that movie and I realized that Celestia could be compared to the rich man at the beginning of the film and I began to wonder if there was one thing Celestia couldn't have. This made me imagine Celestia confiding in Pinkie Pie that she misses her teddy bear from when she was a child that was lost many centuries ago. This causes pinkie Pie to comfort the princess by offering to be her teddy bear (it sounds so cheesy now that I'm explaining it), which causes Celestia to cuddle with Pinkie Pie and realized that the filly gives her a similar feeling of warmth that her teddy gave her. It sounds extremely cheesy, but sometimes people need to read something like that to forget the problems that may be going on in their own lives.
Humorous endings:
1. Robot - Celestia rejects Pinkie Pie so Pinkie builds a mechanical princess Celestia who will love her unconditionally. This could possibly become a series of one-shots involving the mishaps these two lovebirds get into.
2. The frog princess - Princess Celestia kisses Pinkie Pie at the end of their date and turns into a frog. Could also become a series of one-shots similar to #1.
3. Crazy horses - I read a story once where Twilight touches horns with Celestia after a secret date and when she wakes up the next morning she finds that every single pony in her town has fallen madly in love with her. I'm considering doing the same thing only with both Pinkie Pie and Celestia affected by the magic. It could be considered funny to read as the ponies chase Celestia and Pinkie, it could also hold the potential for a cute scene between the princess and the pink mare if I decided to put in a scene where they hide from one of the 'crazy horses' inside a small closet. It could also serve as a dawn of the dawn parody if the lovebirds somehow manage to lock themselves inside a mall to get away from the infected ponies.
4. Mr. Crusty - I'll let this ending be a surprise.
5. Everyone dies at the end - A breaking-the-fourth-wall chapter where Pinkie Pie sneaks into my home and writes the ending herself on my computer.
Scary endings:
1. Cellophane Jack - A serial killer murders Celestia and because Pinkie Pie kissed Celestia in the previous chapter the police think she is the culprit. Pinkie Pie attempts to clear her name as more of her friends fall victim to the killer
2. Smiley Riley - A serial killer kidnaps Pinkie and the princess as they are on their date and proceeds to torture them and kill them in the kindest and most polite way possible. Here's a quote I created for smiley Riley:
"Can I get you something before we begin. A glass of water? A bag of chips? Some paper towels? A band-aid?"
Brett - The polls will close on Monday.
