Kay, so I have the main idea for the sequel in my head! I should come up with something clever for the title... A pun, maybe. Anyway, the way this story ends will tie it up in such a way that the sequel isn't necessary. You can read it if you want, but not reading it won't take away from this story. (Also, possible spin-off alert!)
Funny story, though. There I was, drawing some Fluttercord fanart, when I glanced at the time. One minor panic-attack later, here I am, writing this! The moral of the story: Don't get carried away drawing fanart. It sucks away the time.
Anyway, enjoy the final chapter!

The End (Again)

It was a few weeks after everything had been returned to normal, and life in Equestria couldn't be any more perfect. Delta was pretty much used to everything at this stage.
She was currently on the hunt for a new home of her own, since living in the cottage alongside Fluttershy and Discord brought third-wheel feelings into her head. However, property-hunting in Equestria was a little harder than Delta would've expected. First, she needed bits to actually buy a house. Granted, they were much cheaper than houses on Earth, but currently Delta's bit-balance was a big fat zero. Secondly, there was the problem of location, location, location. She wanted to live somewhere around Ponyville, but also somewhere unique. Somewhere with access to roads would be great, too.
It was all a bit much for a new-ish pony with not much experience.

Eventually, with Rarity's help, Delta found a lovely place by a stream. It had everything Delta wanted, plus it was pretty close to a calm spot of the Everfree. With her dream-house discovered, it now came to the problem of bits. Discord had offered to conjure up some currency with a snap, but stubborn Delta refused, deciding instead to find some sort of day-job.
That was what led to Delta, head in her hooves, sitting on the couch in Fluttershy's cottage, groaning loudly about special talents.
"I mean, my cutie mark is a pocket watch! What does that even mean?" She complained. "I'm not particularly efficient with time, nor do I like collecting pocket watches. What in Equestria could it mean? And how do I make money from it?"
"Maybe you're supposed to be a conductor on a train?" Fluttershy suggested. "I saw a stallion with a similar cutie mark at the station a little while ago. Maybe that's your special talent."
"Or maybe you're destined to always be late." Discord smirked. The draconequus was being as helpful as ever with his suggestions.

"Great." Delta sighed. "I feel like a blank-flank. I have a cutie mark, but I have no idea what it could mean."
Fluttershy hmmed in thought for a moment, tapping a hoof against her chin, trying to look at it from another angle.
"Well, how about you think about what you know you're good at. Maybe you'll figure it out from that list." The yellow pegasus suggested with a smile.
Delta tilted her head.
"Actually, yeah. That might work." The blue-maned mare smiled. "And even if I can't figure out my cutie mark, I can think about what could earn me some bits."
"So what in Celestia's name are you good at, Human?" Discord asked, one eyebrow raised.
Delta's smile disappeared in an instant.
"Uhh..." Her mind blanked. What was she good at? "I suppose I can write. Grammar is very important to me, too. I can't just become an author overnight, though."
"Oh. Well, why not?" Fluttershy asked.
"Because I need to write a book first." Delta replied with a sigh.

"Um, what else are you good at?" Fluttershy inquired with a smile.
"I like singing, I suppose, but I have stagefright, and I don't know if I'm any good at it. The same goes for drawing." The brown pegasus responded. "I enjoy some elements of history, and engineering, but I have next to no experience there." Delta dropped her forhead into her hooves again. "I don't know! None of those can earn me money! Not overnight, anyway."
"My offer still stands." Discord reminded her. For a moment, Delta almost considered accepting. She remained silent, weighing her options.
"I don't know. It seems a little cheaty, to be honest." Delta sighed.
"Well how else are you going to get enough bits to buy that house before somepony else snatches it up?" The Spirit of Chaos pointed out. "How about I loan you the money? I create it, then as you earn money doing whatever, you can 'pay me back'. By that, I mean I destroy it. That's fair."
Delta sighed yet again in defeat.
"Yeah, I suppose that is my only option. Thanks, Dissy."

o.O.o

Pinkie Pie bounced over the little wooden bridge that led over the stream as she made her way toward Delta's new home. Little did the brown pegasus know, she was about to be bombarded by party plans by the super-duper party pony named Pinkie.
As it was, she was sitting inside at her desk, tapping away at her typewriter. It was a strange change from a laptop, but the contraption worked just as well. She already had the first few pages typed out, based on stories she'd written back on Earth. At the rate she was going, it wouldn't be long until she had a collection of short stories.
A series of knocks on her front door distracted the mare, and Delta trotted over to see who it could be. Before she could even open the door, it flew open in a burst of confetti.
"Hi, Delta! I can't help but notice you moved in already. You know what that means, right?" Pinkie beamed. Without giving Delta a chance to respond, the pink pony continued. "Of course you do! It means I need to throw you a housewarming party! Since it's your house, I wanted to see if it was okay with you. I found out not everypony is happy when they find a hundred strangers in their house... I would be, but I guess not everypony is me! That would be weird, if everypony was me. Anyway, would you like to have a housewarming party?" The pink pony practically vibrated in place, waiting for the chance to bounce around.
"Uh, sure, I guess." Delta blinked, then broke into a smile. "Yeah, I'd love a party! When do you want it to be?"
"I was thinking... today?" Pinkie asked.
"Brilliant! Invite anypony you want!" Delta beamed, flapping her wings in excitement. A Pinkie Party to break in the new house was exactly what she needed.

Life in Equestria was perfect, to Delta. It really couldn't get much better. What with being surrounded by brilliant ponies, it was like living in a 'My Little Pony' episode every day. What was even better was she didn't even have to give up her writing. It was a win-win situation for her, despite the ache in her heart for the people she'd left behind. They would live on in her stories, and in her heart. She was sure they'd survive without her.
Eventually, as time wore on, they would learn to live with her disappearance. Delta would be remembered by her friends and family on Earth, but they would never truly know where she'd gone. The police would give up their search after a few months, by request from her mother. Somehow, she knew that her daughter was safe. Wherever she had gone, she was happy.

Yes, life in Equestria was perfect.

Aaaand that concludes 'Forcing Fluttercord'! I really hope you enjoyed it, and keep an eye out for the sequel to the sequel. It might be out this week! Though titles are a bit of an issue...
Maybe 'Writing Equestria', or something similar to 'Begrudged Tolerance is Magic'. 'Gradual Tolerance is Magic'? 'More-Than-Friendship is Magic'? Or something slightly different? Any and all ideas are urgently required, since this is the last time I'll be addressing you all in 'Forcing Fluttercord'.

Goodbye for now, readers!
