Let it be known that for this story Derpy is a male Pegasus.

Chapter 1: The Test

Once again thanks to Vitaexdet for using some of his characters and Whynot707 for proof reading. Oh and a thank you to Pinkie Pie for co-narrator.

It was a warm sunny day in Ponyville the birds were chirping the woodland animals were scattering around and… HEY YOU! *face palm* hey pinkie what can I do for you so early in the story? Weeeeeeeeell I saw that you didn’t mention mean in your credits at the beginning like those other people!!!! Well I didn’t know... NONSENSE! Now pinkie promise to add me from now on got it! I pinkie promise to add you from now on. Ok can I continue now? YES!!! YES YES!! WAIT! I mean NO NO NO, you need to say the words to the promise! “Ugh”. “Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye”. EEEE yippy! Now you must keep that secrete foreverrrrrr GOT IT! Yes Pinkie I got it ok. I’m going to move on now… Hmm she’s gone. Okay so where were we? Ah yes it was a sunny day and all of the little fillies and colts were scurrying around to get some last second playtime before their respected school started. There was one little colt who was still in bed trying to forgo school for as long as he could.

“WAKEY WAKEY WAKEY NO TIME TO BE LATEY”! Yelled Pinkie Pie rushing into Derpy Jr’s room.

“Bu bu but mom I I don’t wawanna go” he managed to stutter out.

“Oh nonsense you goofy ponypie”. “Just think after you past the test you can go to rainbows dash school for gifted flyers yaaaay”. His moms’ enthusiasm always managed to get him out of a funk.

“Now go right a roonie downstairs and make sure your father is ready to take you”. She said jumping up and down on his bed almost making him fly right out of it.

“Yes mo mom” just then Pinkie ran up and kissed his check “

“It’s ok Derpy I know you can do it”. She said while scooting him out of his room.

Derpy was smaller than most ponies at birth and was still smaller then all of the other colts around Ponyville and Cloudsdale. He has a glorious pair of wings that due to his size made him look even smaller in comparison. He was so afraid of his flying test that he hadn’t slept at all last night. He made his way down the stairs slowly making sure to take up as much time as he could. As he got to the bottom he heard a loud crash.

“Ugh my dad’s up” he said to himself knowing he was sure to find something broken from his dad’s clumsiness. “Dad what did you break this time?”

“Nothing nothing... just uh don’t come in the kitchen yet I uh am making breakfast… yes, so uh go get your things ready for the test”.

He knew his dad broke something, but he didn’t pay any attention to it. Everyone in town knew Derpy Sr. was the biggest klutz in all of Ponyville probably all of Equestria for that matter. Derpy Jr. or Dp as he liked to be called hated his dads’ clumsiness, he hears the talk other ponies say about his dad when they don’t see him listening. He just couldn’t understand how his dad stayed so cheerful knowing all the trouble he causes daily for other ponies. As he packed his saddlebag and put it on he walked into the kitchen to see his dads’ googly eyes and everything with a confused look on his face sweeping up a vase of flowers he knocked over with his wings. Oh my goodness I knew he broke it that lying scoundrel! Pinkie you sure this is the rig. He said it must have been ghost and I trusted him grrrr this makes me angry oh boy is he in store for it when I get home! Yes pinkie that’s nice may I continue? I mean who does that lie ergh this is like the time he added ink to my cupcakes to dye my mouth black, yes it was a great prank, but YOU DON’T MESS WITH MY CUPCAKE! Pinkie settle down you can go get derpy when we are done. Hurmmph fine! But, let me tell you! NO! Just stop I’m going to continue now.

“Dad I iam raready to go now”. He said walking up to his dad.

“Ok ok now if your mother asks some ghosts came in here and took the vase”.

“You know she’s going to fa find out right”?

“No way I’m an expert at hiding evidence” as he threw all the broken pieces out the kitchen window. “Oh yea smooth derpy smooth” he said confidently to himself. “Now you ready to ace this test and show how amazing you are at flying?”

“Yea” replied Dp

“let’s be off then” as he ran through the hall hitting another vase that wobbled for a second before going back into place like nothing had happened. Dp hurriedly ran behind him making sure he was ready to prevent anything else from falling. They flew up into the sky heading towards Rainbow dashes academy. Dp hated flying truthfully; he hadn’t really mastered his overly big wings just quite yet, And he was uncomfortable with flying in front of others.

“Listen son I just wanted to tell you that no matter what happens I love you and will always be proud of you” Derpy said putting his hoof around his sons’ small shoulder.

“I kna know dad I love you to too” he replied smiling at his dad. “Hey dad I ha have a question” he said looking at his dad.

“Yes son whats on your mind”

“How come you are so hap happy even wh when you mess up?” he said with a confused look

“Ha-ha well you see in life you are going to mess up its unavoidable especially in me case” he said with a chuckle. “And if you let someponies harsh words get to you then you’re letting them have the satisfaction of being right about you” he said with a warm look on his face. “And you don’t want that, you have to just be the bigger stallion and just let their words bounce of you like how your mom bounces off the walls” he once again started laughing.

“Thanks dad” he said giving his dad a huge hug.

“Any time Derpy uh I mean Dp” he said covering his mistake. “Ahh look we are here!” he said excitedly shaking his sons’ whole body

“Yay” is all Dp could muster while being shaken like a rag doll.

As they arrived at Dashes academy that sat right outside of Cloudsdale, they saw the huge banner hanging up welcoming all the new flyers who were coming to take the test to see if they can get into the best flight school in all of Equestria. The Academy opened up a year after Rainbow dash became head of the wonderbolts. She opened it up after saving her money from her wonderbolt shows. Since then all Pegasus come to take the entrance test to see if they have what it takes to be admitted in. on this day there was around 30ish Pegasus waiting for the test to begin. They arrange from all shapes and colors, colts and fillies alike.

Derpy turned and looked at his son “I’ll go register you up why don’t you go size up your competition” he said with a grin not noticing the pillar he was approaching.

“Dad la look out” Dp tried to yell out, but it was too late Derpy hit it with a loud thud. Everypony turned to see what caused the random thud sound. As they could have guessed they saw derpy holding his head backing away.

He tried to pull it off like he planned it.

“Yup this pillar is sturdy all right no need to replace it” he said still holding his head.

Everypony just laughed because they knew that wasn’t the case. All Dp could do was hide his face in his hooves and hopped no one would find out derpy was his dad. Dp figured his dad could make to the registration after that, so he went off on his own. He saw a group of 3 colts hovering together. Not wanting to be seen he tried to fly by undetected.

“Hey you” shouted the biggest of the three colts. He was all black with a fiery red mane and dark red eyes. He also already had his cutie mark, a red comet. Dp being spotted he reluctantly went over.

“Who are you and why haven’t I seen you in Cloudsdale tiny”? The other two colts laughed at his insult.

“Mu my name is”.

“Whoa whoa” he interrupted “what the hell is wrong with your voice freak, and why are you pink if you’re a boy”? His 2 friends once again laughed.

Dp tried to hold back his tears and remember his dads’ words about not letting someone get to you, but he couldn’t help it. He wasn’t as strong as his dad he was a freakish pony who couldn’t even speak right. The tears began to flow.

“Ha-ha oh my celestia he’s crying what a baby” the colt said. Dp had no rebuttal he just sat in a ball on a cloud while the colts kept laughing at him. “Look at the little idiot cry like a foal” the laughter continued as did the tears.

Just then a blur flew past the group and the colts stopped their laughter.

“What was that”? Said one of the colts behind the black one. Just before any of the ponies could answer the blur came back and stopped right in front of Dp. The suns glow shined right on this mystery colt as if it was making sure everypony knew who it was. Dp looked up and saw a rainbow mane flowing in the wing, bright cyan wings flew up and down.

“Could it be rainbow dash” thought Dp. “No she is much to small” he thought again, but before he could think another thought the black colt spoke

“look who we have here boys, the golden filly of Cloudsdale” he said in a sarcastic tone

“What do you think you are doing comet?” the rainbow filly replied with anger

“Why I’m just talking to my little friend here” comet replied with a smile

“Yea I see you guys are becoming the best of friends, now just get the hell out of here before I tell my mom what you did” the mystery filly said with a glare aimed right at Comet.

“Whatever Dash I’ll see you in the academy” and with that comet and his 2 friends flew off. Dash landed next to Dp and put her hoof on his shoulder.

“It’s ok they’re gone now no need to be sad” she said with a calmness in her voice that made Dp remember his mom. And with that he looked up to see the Filly smiling at him. “The name is Dashter, soon to be the fastest flyer Equestria has ever seen” she said with a wide smirk across her whole face. “What’s your name kiddo?”

He looked closely at her face and thought how he has never seen a more beautiful pony in all his life. OH EM GEE OH EM GEE Derpy Pie Hooves jr has a crush on Dashter EEEEEEEEEEEK. Yes Pinkie, yes he does. THAT’S SOOOOOO CUUUUTE!!!! Yup its sure is… back to the story. Oki doki loki.

“I I um am Derpy Jr er I mean Dp” he felt his stutter go away for some reason while looking inter Dashters ember eyes.

“Nice to meet you Dp” she said grabbing his hoof and shook it violently.

“Likewise” he said as he felt his face start to blush. “Um thanks for uh helping me back there”

“Oh no thanks needed, and don’t listen to Comet he’s just mad he’s the second fastest pony here” she said laughing. “Well I got to go get ready for the test, even though my mom owns this place I still have to apply for some dumb reason” and with that she rocketed off towards the testing field.

Dp just sat on the cloud taking in all that happened. He was actually excited about being in the academy, just for the sole fact he could see that marvelous filly again.

Five minutes later he found his dad trying to fix an apple cart he knocked over accidently.

“Hey dad did yo you get my number?” he asked landing next to Derpy Sr. He also realized his stutter was back.

“Oh yes I did uh it’s hmmm” he searched violently through his saddle bags. “Ah here it is number 1. Oh isn’t that lucky eh Dp” he said smiling taping the number to Dp’s body

All Dp could muster up was a sigh. Together they flew over to the field where the test takes place. Dp searched the crowd for Dashter, but sadly couldn’t find her. He did manage to see Comet, so he made sure to stick clear from him.
They sat down and waited for the introduction. All of the sudden out on a podium looking over the field he saw Dashter with what looked like another pony with a rainbow mare. He assumed it must be Rainbow Dash that is until he spoke

“Hello everypony as you may have noticed I am not Rainbow dash” the crowd gave a loud laugh. “I am Speedster Dashes stallion and overseer for today’s test.” He said with a booming voice. “Now today’s test is like every test before this. You start off and have 5 seconds to fly a straight line 250 meters, after that you must fly in a perfect zig zag around the cloud pillars, but be careful if you run into one it will hurt….. a lot”. “Now after that you must complete a triple loop d loop flawlessly”. So at this point we would be done but we added a new obstacle”. Out of the clouds rose a spinning windmill structure spinning rapidly. “this is out new toy”. Chuckled Speedster “all you have to do is time it perfectly and fly through the spinning clouds inside”. “You must do all this in under a minute. I know you all will pass with flying colors”. “Now to help show you how it’s done my daughter Dashter will go first”.

And with that Dashter took off leaving a rainbow trail behind her. Dp didn’t pay much attention to how she was doing the course he was mesmerized at her beauty. And within what seemed like a second she was done sitting next to her dad again.

“Amazing.” Shouted Speedster, giving his daughter a hug. “Now next up we have number 1 can number one move to the start.

Dp snapped out of his held gaze on Dashter and realized he was up and wasn’t inertly sure what to do. He made his way to the starting line and looked up one last time at Dashter. He saw her smiling back at him. That smile made him feel like he could take on an ursa major.

“You can do it”. Yelled Derpy Sr. he wasn’t paying much attention to his dads cheers his attention was on passing this test.

“Are you ready”? Asked Speedster. Dp gave him a nod. While this was going on Comet flew under the crowd and had a slingshot ready with a pebble in it. Waiting for Dp to fly by.

“on your mark, get set, go”! Shouted Speedster

And with that Derpy Pie Hooves was off. All his nerves were gone he knew that despite his previous problems with his flying he knew he could pass this test. He speed off like he was in wonderbolts. His dads jaw just dropped. Thanks to his small frame and big wings the speed portion was easy for him he made it passed the 250 meter mark and flew to the second challenge. As he was flying all he thought about was Dashter. He cleared the first pillar.

“Only 9 more” he thought to himself. The second one cleared, third, forth, he was going to do it for her. Only 2 were left and he cleared the first of the two and flew towards the last remaining one. Just as he was nearing it Comet shot his sling shot and it hit Dp in his right wing causing him to turn early.

Derpys jr. whole left side slammed into the last pillar wing first. He felt the bone in his wing snap and he cried out in pain. Uh we can just skip this part right? No Pinkie you know we can’t just close your eyes and I’ll let you know when to open them. Okay….

The shear pain from the impact almost made him blackout. He started to descend rapidly; he hit the cloud floor but just fell right through them.

“Help him”! Screamed Derpy Sr. “I’m not fast enough”! with that Speedster rocketed off the pillar heading straight at the descending colt.

“He won’t make it” Yelled one on looker. Speedster gained on Dp faster and faster.

“I love you mom and dad” was the last thing Dp mustard out as he heard a loud boom and slipped into darkness…

Chapter 2: Grounded

As always thank you to Vitaexdet for letting me use some of his ponies.
And a thank you to
whynot707 and torllin for edits

And of course Pinkie for co-narrating

Pinkie paced back and forth, she hasn’t stopped moving since hearing the news that her little colt was in the hospital. Her usual puffy pink hair was straight covering her face.

“Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear” she said in a worried tone. “I knew I shouldn’t have ignored my pinkie sense, this is entirely my fault I just know it,” She said lowering her head to the ground. Just then Derpy came up and put his hoof on her shoulder.

“This is in no way your fault, don’t even let yourself think that,” He said moving her hair from covering her bright blue eyes. Just then Speedster showed up.

“How’s he doing” asked Speedster concerned in his voice.

“He will live thanks to you.” Derpy replied shaking his hoof.

“Oh nonsense, you would have done the same for Dashter if you were in my hooves,” Said Speedster.

“Ha yea, all I got to do is learn how to do a sonic rainboom is all,” Derpy said smirking a little.

Pinkie was ignoring them she was in her own thoughts. She was thinking about her day. How could it have gone from so good to so bad in a matter of hours? She had watched her two boys flying into the sky. She was so proud of her little Derpy Pie. A single tear went down her cheek as she saw the last image of her boys disappeared into the clouds. I DID NOT CRY! It was dust! Yes it was some rouge dust that had it out for me! Yea yea Pinkie whatever you say. Hurmph it was! Yea I agree Pinkie that dust came at you like a rabid bunny. And that’s how Equestria was made. Uh yea… Soooooo.

Once they were out of sight Pinkie felt her tail begin to twitch, but she was in to good of a mood to pay any attention to her Pinkie sense. She made her annual trip of hopping down Ponyville saying hi to every pony she saw. Once she was all done with that she hopped on home where she opened up the shop and got to cooking some fresh deserts. As she was cooking she heard a loud crash coming from the entrance. She slowly put down her tray of cupcakes on the counter knowing who caused the commotion. Her boys were back.

“He he I wonder who is home” she said giggling to herself skipping to the front door. Much to her surprise she saw Derpy Sr. laying out on the floor breathing heavily, tears running down his face.

“What’s wrong?” She screamed running towards derpy. It was at that moment she noticed Dp wasn’t with him. “Where is Derpy Pie” she yelled out frantically helping Derpy Sr. up.

“Accident, Hospital… Go now. I’ll catch up!” He managed to say still trying to catch his breath. Pinkies hair instantly deflated. She took off so fast you could of swore it was Rainbow Dash. As she ran through the streets of Ponyville all ponies saw was a pink blur flying by. All these thoughts were running through her head and tears began to fill her eyes. She finally reached the hospital and busted through the front doors like a charging rhino. Uhhh sorry but what’s a rhino? It’s a big animal that charges at things. Hey bud you calling me fat? No no no not at all I’m just showing the readers just how badly you busted through those doors. Oki…..doki….loki but I’m watching you…. Yes well then.

As the doors flew open the nurses at the front desk immediately looked up.

“Where is Derpy Pie Hooves located?” Pinkie yelled slamming her hooves on the desk.

“Let’s see um…” the Nurse mare said franticly looking through a stack of papers.

“Tell Me Now!” Pinkie screamed out. Almost making the nurse drop the stack of papers.

“Pinkie this way!” A voice yelled out. Pinkie turned around to see Speedster waving her over. She quickly ran over to him. “He’s in the surgery room as we speak!” he said trying to calm the freaked out mare. Though he realized that might have not been the best thing to say to the mother of a colt in surgery. “Err I mean he will be fi-”

“What happened?” She asked interrupting him with a surprisingly calm voice as they got to the surgery room.

“Have a seat,” he said. But she continued to stand. “Okay well your son was doing an amazing job on the course he past the speed portion without a hitch. He then went to the next part where he had to swerve around 10 pillars. One by one he went around each one flawlessly.” He paused to take a breath before saying the next part. “As he neared the last pillar he turned too early and his whole left side slammed into the pillar and then he just fell. The Cloud floor should have caught him but instead he just fell through, so I took off after him. He was getting closer and closer to the ground but I was gaining ground. I did a Sonic rainboom and was able to catch him just in time.” He heard pinkie let out a sigh. “So I carried him and told Derpy Sr. to get you and he took off.” “ I then instantly took Dp here and they brought him to surgery. As I brought him here he passed out.” He said in a concerned voice.

“Thank you for saving him.” she said in a voice that would have made anypony think it was Fluttershy talking. Moments later Derpy Sr. joined the two outside in the hall outside of the surgery room.

They waited for what seemed like hours to hear the news regarding their son. Speedster left and got the two some food knowing that they had to be hungry. They thanked him and ate the food silently. Hunger was the least of their worries. Just then the Unicorn doctor came out and all the ponies surrounded him.

“He is in stable condition and he will live.” The unicorn said. “He is still under the affects of the magic sleep spell, but he will be up by morning.”

“Thank you doctor,” Derpy and Pinkie said simultaneously.

“Don’t thank me yet.” The unicorn said with a sad expression. “You see the impact caused the bone in his wing to shatter to shards.” Both Pinkie and Derpy cringed. “It seemed while falling all the shards of broken bone kept cutting at the wing,” Pinkie looked over at Speedster anger filled her eyes

“Why didn’t you tell me his wing was messed up!” she roared at him.

“I didn’t want to worry you I knew the doctor could fix it with his magic.” he replied with guilt in his voice.

“Dear he did it with the right intention,” Derpy Sr. Said holding her head to his chest. “Please continue doctor.”

“This next part is going hard to say.” Derpy and Pinkie grabbed each other expecting the worse. “I did all I could to fix his wing, but I had to take out a lot of the shards of bone and well we had to replace the bits that were broken beyond magical repair with plaster that we use for casts.” He cleared his throat seeming to delay his next words. “And you see we don’t think that Derpy Jr. will ever be able to fly again.” he told the ponies with tears in his eyes. The hallway went quiet. No pony moved or said anything. It was as if time stood still. Derpy looked over to Pinkie to see a face he has never seen on her before. She looked like a she wasn’t even there. Her faced showed no emotion at all. But then she spoke

“Thank you doctor,” is all she said. “May I go in?” She asked.

“Yes certainly,” the Doctor replied. She walked into the room while the doctor talked with Derpy and Speedster. She walked over to Derpy Jr. He was asleep in the bed a bandaged covered his whole left wing. A bandaged also covered his stomach as well. Pinkie stroked his face with her hoof.

“I’m so happy you’re alive.” Tears started flowing down her checks. “I don’t care what that dumb doctor said, because he is wrong you will fly Derpy you will fly.” She laid her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beat beating softly. “I love you so much Derpy so so so much, there is nothing I wouldn’t do for you.” Just then she heard a shrill voice say

“I-I la-love you too mom” as a pair of small hooves hugged her. As Pinkie heard that little voice speak her hair and tail poofed right back up. She picked him up in her hooves and squeezed tightly forgetting about his injuries. “Ow!” he yelled out.

“Oh dear im super super super sorry dear!” she replied. She called in Derpy Sr. and Speedster so they could see how he was doing. Derpy busted into the room tripping and sliding into a tray that shot a bunch of sharp operating tools flying all over the place. Everypony started to laugh. He got up smiling walking toward Dp

“How are ya feeling champ?” asked Derpy

“Been better,” Dp replied smiling. “Don’t wa-worry dad when mu-my wing heals up I’ll g-give the test another go,” he said confidently. Everypony in the room went quite and the smiles were gone. “w-why is everpony sa-sad?” he said looking confused. Pinkie broke the silence.

“Of course you are you’re the best flyer ever!” She said patting his head.

“What happened Dp? You were doing so well.” Speedster chimed in.

“I-I don’t really Kn-know. I felt a sh-sharp pain in my side and accidently t-turned too early.”

“hmm I see,” Speedster said rubbing his chin. “Oh someone has been worried about,” he said with a smile. “Hey Dashter come in.” just then a door flew open and a blue blur came flying in. Talking almost as fast as she flew.

“Oh my Celestia you’re alive!” I knew you were alive, but wow that was an epic crash!” It was like KABBOM then you fell and my dad went after you.” “You need to be more careful!” Dp wasn’t listening to her as usual when she was around he was just staring at her beauty and the fact that she cared about his well being made him feel even better.

“ha-ha yea I know I know.” “Don’t worry I’ll be up there soon enough showing you my sweet moves,” he replied thinking how smooth he was being. The adults though once again went quite at the mention of him flying. Luckily the colt and filly were in their own little world together. Ohhhhhhh boy how will Pinke get out of this mess. I don’t know pinkie how will she explain this news to Derpy Pie? Beaaats me maybe she’ll put on a puppet show! Then I could go and watch it too yay!!! So you’re telling me you want Pinkie to put on a puppet show to explain to her son that he will never be able to fly again… just so you can watch yourself perform a puppet show? YES! Ok just making sure.

That night Pinkie and Derpy stayed in the hospital with their son. They were moved out of the surgery room and into an observation room so the doctors could make sure the magic surgery held up. They were told that if everything was in order they could go back home. While Dp slept Pinkie and Derpy were talking trying to figure out how to tell their son the bad news.

“Let’s just tell him when he wakes up, the longer we wait the more it will hurt him to hear.” Derpy said

“No! The doctors are wrong he will fly again we don’t need to tell him diddily squat!” Pinkie angrily returned

“Shh you’ll wake him,” derpy said scorning her. Pinkies optimism was one her traits he loved most about her. “Dear if a unicorn couldn’t of healed his wing fully what makes you think it will heal on its own?” he asked

“I don’t know yet maybe twilight can help him, I bet her magic is a bagillion times better then these docs with their way cool coats and Popsicle necklace things.” She snorted

“stethoscope,” Derpy replied

“Gesundheit,” Pinkie said frowning.

“Yes, thank you.” Derpy said trying to hold in his laughter at Pinkies obliviousness. “I think Twilight is busy with the new school year and besides these are doctor unicorns their magic is specially suited for the stuff. Twilight’s is more for, I don’t know science stuff.” Pinkie just sat there with a frown. “Come on lets go to bed we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. We still have to figure out how to tell Dp the news.” He hugged Pinkie and gave her a kiss. They settled into their makeshift bed and went to sleep for the night. What they didn’t notice was the silently crying colt in the bed who heard the whole conversation.

“I can’t fly?” he thought to himself, tears running down his face. He didn’t know how to take this news. He would never be able to go to school with Dashter. His heart sank. Would he have to go to earth pony school? He would stick out more then when he was at cloud city. Then he remembered Pinkie talking about how twilight could help him. He wiped his tears out of his eyes. He knew what to do. “I-I’ll go see twilight,” he silently said to himself. His mood started to turn for the better. He thought to himself “everything will be ok I just know it.”

Chapter 3: Cupcakes

Thanks to Vitaxdet For his characters.
And my Grammar team: Whynot707 and Torllin
Also Pinkie for being Pinkie

Pinkie and Derpy were allowed to take DP home that morning from the hospital. They had planned to tell him about the doctors’ news when they got home, but little did they know he had already known, and he was, in fact, quite mad. Pinkie being Pinkie didn’t like the quietness of their return home, so of course she broke it.

“Well that was an eventful day huh guys?” She grabbed her two boys in her hooves. DP immediately broke her grip and walked past his parents. He just wanted to go home in his own bed and think. “What’s wrong?” Pinkie asked catching up to him. No one could get away from Pinkie unless she allowed you to get away.

“I-I don’t want to t-talk about it.” he replied coldly. This stopped Pinkie right in her tracks. When he went to sleep last night he was happy not sad.

“It’s ok Derpy Pie you can re-take the test no worries,” she said catching up to him thinking that was the reason for his coldness.

“Oh c-can I mom!” he yelled back. She was too shocked for words, and that’s not an easy thing to do to her. DP stopped and turned around. “I h-heard you two t-talking last night,” his voice raising. Derpy caught up to the two after hearing the yelling.

“What’s all the yelling about guys?” asked Derpy. DP turned his gaze at his dad. Not a good move.

“I d-don’t know dad? W-what could it b-be about!” His dad wasn’t the smartest stallion in Ponyville, but he was able to piece together an angry son and brought to tears mom. DP though continued to yell. “I never w-wanted to take that d-damn test! I only d-did it because you m-made me do it!” Now his dad was out of words. “I h-heard you two t-talking last night. I can’t f-fly ever again. I c-can’t even go back t-to regular f-flight school!” His dad was ashamed and just looked at the ground knowing he deserved this. “N-now what do I d-do?” DP asked with tears falling to the ground. “what can I clopping do?” he said staring at his dad.

"Hey! Don’t use that word!” Pinkie was up and mad. “We are sorry you had to find out this way. We should have told you earlier, but we didn’t and we are extremely sorry.” She just kept it up. “Just because you can’t fly ever again doesn’t make you a different person. You are the same Derpy Pie we love with all our hearts. I don’t even care what that doctor said, you will fly again. You just have to believe!” Crying she ran and hugged Dp. “We are a family and as a family we will get through this, because I know we can,” she said in a soft voice.

“I-I am sorry mom and d-dad. I love y–you,” And with that they all shared a giant hug and went home. *Over dramatic weeping* Pinkie? *whimpering* yes? Are you going to be ok? Mmhmm. Wanna talk about it? NO WAIT I MEA…. THAT WAS SOOOO BEAUTIFULLL!!! OMG OMG OMG I PROMISED MYSELF I WOULDN’T CRY, BUT BUT IM CRYINGGG WAHHHHHHH. What have I done…. I’m ok I’m ok continue please, buuuuut can you wait I need to get some tissues? Yes go on. EEEEEEE thank you be right backaroony …… BACK AND GO GO GO!!!! Ok. Here we go.

They finally arrived at home like they hadn’t seen it in years. Derpy tripped on his way in falling face first causing all three of them to laugh together for the first time since the incident. Then when they stopped laughing they noticed a banner and a pack of ponies in their living room.

“Surprise!” they all yelled holding up a welcome back banner. Pinkie instantly screamed and ran right at the group. It was her best friends in all of Equestria. Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, and even Rainbow Dash and Rarity made the trip. They all had fear in their eyes as a pink blur ran right at them. Pinkie somehow grabbed them all in her hooves and hugged them all. Rainbow Dash managed to talk

“Welcome back DP I’m glad you’re ok. Oh also someone is in the back outside waiting for you.” she said giving him a wink. DP instantly ran past the group and straight into the yard where he saw Dashter playing catch with her dad. Speedster turned and saw him.

“Ok kids I’m going to go inside with all the adults,” he smiled. Dashter looked confused as to why her day said kids until she turned and saw DP standing in the outside. She flew right at him almost forgetting about his injury and turned up at the last second averting an accident. DP shrank to the ground when he saw her approaching and closed his eyes.

“Ha you can open ‘em now silly!” she said poking his head.

“I err… saw this cool thing on the ground and needed to… see it closer,” he said trying to make a plausible excuse. He loved talking to her, and it wasn’t because when he talked to her his stutter went away, but because when he was around her he was at his happiest. She just laughed and smiled at his obvious lie and gave him a hug.

“How are you felling today buddy?” she asked smiling. He almost didn’t hear her due to the fact he always went to lala land around her.

“Oh I um… am good, I’m good,” he said trying to hide the sadness in his voice. She saw through it though.

“You’re lying.” she said poking his chest.

“No really I’m good, never felt better.”

“Tell me the truth Derpy!” she said using his full name showing she was serious.

“Well the injury is more serious than I thought.” He started to imagine never being able to fly with her up in the clouds and the thought nearly broke his heart. “I uh,” tears started to fill his eyes. “well I will never be able to fly…”

“Ha what I know you can’t fly for a few days its ok when you get better we can go to school and after race all day. You’re silly overreacting like that,” she said playfully hitting him. “Now stop pretending to cry fool.”

“No Dash, I can’t fly ever again… they put stuff in my wing that makes me not able to flap my left wing well enough to get me off the ground, and it will never heal well enough to work properly. It was the only way to save my wing from being amputated.” He was about to talk again, but she covered his mouth. She was now crying too, but she had a smile. This made DP very confused.

“It’s ok,” she said. “I don’t care that you can’t fly, you’re still a cutie and I’ll come visit you all the time.” With that she hugged him and gave him a kiss on the check. She looked up at the sun “oh no, oh no! Mom, Dad we gotta go I got practice!” she yelled into the house. You could hear Rainbow Dash and Speedster saying their goodbyes before emerging outside. Dashter looked at DP “I’m sorry, I have to go to practice for my tryout for the schools flight team. I’m going to be the youngest member ever I bet, don’t worry I’ll come visit next chance I can. With that she took off with her parents. DP just sat there smiling he had only just meet Dashter but he was already falling for her. He smelled his moms’ famous cupcakes and he forgot he hadn’t eaten at all today, so he ran inside to have a feast, but not before looking back up at the sky and smiling.

As he walked back in he saw Rarity showing off her newest creation that she was making for her fashion show.

“Now darlings I expect each of you to show up. It’s going to be the talk of all Equestria. Why Fluttershy and Twilight you two could even find a sophisticated stallion to take home with you.” She said with a sly smile on her face.

“I don’t know Rarity, I have been ever so busy with the school, and I’m also learning this new spell.” Twilight was interrupted before she could finish.

“Yes, yes twilight we all know about you’re busy life darling, but you mustn’t miss this. What about you Fluttershy? Let me guess, you are very busy as well being mayor?” she asked staring right at Fluttershy. Fluttershy started to sink down

“Well… Just a little… I mean it’s not very important… just a little thing with the buffalo, but it’s not important really.” She replied trying to get Rarities’ glare off her.

“Oh please if you ladies don’t want to come so be it, don’t come I couldn’t care less frankly.”

“Well shoot I’ll be there Rarity I wouldn’t miss a grand ol fashion thingy for my friend.” Applejack interjected.

“And you know I’ll be there, I wouldn’t miss an amazing party, ever!” Pinkie said jumping up and down.

“Oh thank you ladies, and also Derpy can come too if he wishes.” Rarity said joyfully. While this was going on DP found Twilight heading to the kitchen still angry from being interrupted by Rarity.

“Interrupt me will you? No one interrupts me! She’s lucky I don’t turn her into a donkey!” She went on talking to herself. She stopped after noticing DP standing behind her. “Oh hello DP I hope you are feeling better.” She said smiling. “I hope you don’t mind, but when we found out what happened we kind of wanted to throw you a little party.”

“I-I’m doing w-well thank you, and t-thank you for the p-party.” DP replied. “I have a q-question though T-Twilight.” He asked.

“Of course what do you want to know DP?”

“w-well I was wondering i-if you could l-look at my wing?”

“Oh I see well your mom told me about what the doctors said, but I’m sure I could see what I have back at the school. Tell ya what, come by the school tomorrow and I’ll see what I can do.”

“T-Thank you thank you thank y-you!” he said joyfully “Oh um I-I have another question.”

“Yes what is it?” she asked.

“Well y-you’ve noticed I have a s-stutter. Um can y-you fix it?” He asked shyly.

“Of course just come by tomorrow and we’ll talk all about it,” she said smiling before walking back out to the group. He sat there smiling to himself before realizing the tray of cupcakes calling his name.

“DP…DP we want you… to eat us!” they were toying with his emotions. He slowly advanced on the unsuspecting tray on cupcakes knowing their life on this plane of existence was about to be over. He stalked the cupcakes like a lion stalking his prey. HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY!!! Aghh stop! What? What is it? Welllllll neverming mr grumpy pants. I don’t have anything to say to you! Ugh im sorry what is up Pinkie? Ok apology accepted friend! Ok um what’s a lion? Ugh you know the readers understand my metaphors. Just because you don’t doesn’t mean you need to interrupt me. Just google it.Lions: A football team in Detroit… hey whats a Detroit…uh and whats football? Ugh not the football team… a lion is a big cat that stalks its prey before eating it, ok? Oki Doki Loki bye! One of these days….

As he was about to make his attack a pink blur went flying past and grabbed the tray before flying past him again into the living room.

“W-What just h-happned” DP asked himself then he heard what he feared the most.

“Oki Doki Loki who wants a Pinkie Pie cupcake?” she squealed out.

As he heard the ponies devouring his meal he sat their stunned at what exactly just happened. His hoof still hung in the air inches away from where the cupcakes use to be. His mouth still opened. Before he could move though the blur flew back in and a cupcake landed on his outstretched hoof. He didn’t question it, he just ate his cupcake, but then the blur was back and before he knew it Pinkie was in front of him.

“Silly I couldn’t let you eat all those, but I did save you one,” she said patting his head before becoming a blur again and leaving the room.

After an hour the rest of the ponies left the party. They all made sure to say goodbye to DP and give him words of encouragement. Twilight was the last one to leave but before she teleported out of the house she stopped and turned to DP

“Now remember to come see me. We have important things to discuss.”

“Well what is that about hmm DP? Important things? Hmmmm?” Pinkie asked interrogating her son.

“It’s n-nothing just going t-to visit Twilight at her s-school. See if s-she can help m-my wing,” he replied smiling.

“hmmmm.” Pinkie stared at him intensely sizing him up. “That’s fine DP, have fun.” She said giggling and hopping away. “Oh by the way Derpy Pie you have school tomorrow,” she said giggling before disappearing to who knows where. He had forgotten all about that somehow.

“Don’t worry DP, it will be fun trust me,” Derpy Sr. said coming from outside. “Sorry I disappeared, but I couldn’t take the fashion talk anymore.” He said smiling. “Now get to bed you must be tired.”

“Ugh o-okay.” DP said frowning and began walking to his room, but before he could make it to the stairs he was all of the suddenly wrapped up in a hug from his parents.

“WE LOVE YOU DERPY PIE HOOVES!” they yelled out simultaneously.

“L-Love you too guys,” and with that he went upstairs to his room and laid in bed. He was thinking about Dashter, and her friendliness, and beauty before drifting off to slumber land.

Chapter 4: Gems

Thank ya to Vitaexdet for his His Oc ponies
Thank you to my grammar team: Whynot70 and Torllin
And Thank you to Pinkie Pie for being Pinkie

The wind flew through his yellow poofy hair as he flew across the sky. He had never felt this free in his entire life, in fact nothing could make him happier at this moment. Almost nothing that is.

“Oh what’s up DP,” he turned to see Dashter flying up next to him. Now he couldn’t be happier.

“Oh ya know just flying around.” He said acting cool.

“Oh my Celestria, no way.” she replied in a sarcastic tone. “Hey you want to race?” she asked bumping into him.

He pondered for a moment before answering. “Hmm it depends of if you want to lose I guess.”

“HA, it’s on. First one to that pink cloud over there,” she pointed. DP was a little confused by a pink cloud, but he thought nothing of it and agreed on the race. Both young ponies lined up so that they were at an equal spot, and then Dashter started counting down. “Three…two…one…GO!” with that they were off flying through the sky at incredible speeds at first Dashter was winning, but DP was able to catch up. He was determined to win to show her he’s good enough for her. As he caught up next to her he saw her looking back at him. He just smiled and started to fly past her, but then she used his emotions against him. She leaned over and kissed his cheek. DP was not ready for such an attack and got distracted enough to fall behind. As he was rubbing his cheek and smiling he saw her fly into the pink cloud. He slowly flew to the cloud to congratulate her for wining, and accusing her of foul play. As he got closer to the pink cloud he noticed the screen got darker, and the cloud started to morph. It kept on morphing and morphing soon a head was forming and a face.

“No, not you anyone but you!” he screamed and began flying away from it. The faster he flew from it the faster it gained, and it even began talking.

“It’s time to get up Derpy Pie, it’s time for school.” the cloud laughed.

“No, leave me alone!” he yelled back. And continued to fly but sure enough the cloud caught up to him and opened its mouth swallowing him whole. He instantly awoke from his bed and saw a pink figure standing over him.

“Sheesh finally you’re up you noodle. I’ve been trying to wake you for the past five minutes.” DP looked at his wing to see if the crash was maybe a dream within a dream, but sadly it was not. The bandaged still covered it in the same way he was hiding his sadness from his overly energetic mom. “I was finally able to wake you by some miracle, or maybe it was magic? Oh no no no it was miragic, hehe yea miragic.” Pinkie rubbed her hooves together grinning. MWAHAHAHAHA. Uh…. What? Oh nothing…. It’s nothing he he continue please…he he.
Pinkie started talking to herself “hmm I woke you up to tell you something that was important for you to…do..buuuut what was it.” She sat down rubbing her chin thinking.

DP sighed, he knew that he started school, and knew that’s what she was trying to say. He just left her where she was and went to grab some food before he had to go to school. He looked through the cabinets opening and closing one after the other trying to find some food. Finally he got to the last one and opened it, but right as he opened it pinkie came flying out.

“I remember what I needed to tell you.” She said falling to the floor due to standing in midair while she talked. “You have school woooo aren’t you excited?” she asked poking him in the face. Any normal pony would still be trying to piece together how a pony could get from upstairs to inside a cabinet in a matter of seconds, but being it was Pinkie no questions were asked.

“Yes I’m r-ready, but c-can I walk there a-alone mom.” She just smiled at him and handed him some hay bars. Once again no questions were asked.

“Of course silly, well I know your dad wanted to go, but he had to go on his mail run early, looks like you can go alone.” She smiled and handed him his saddle bag. “Have fun at school and remember to SMILE!” she sang grabbing him in her hooves and kissing his forehead. “Now get on out of here and get your learning on.” She pushed him out the door. “I’ll see ya when you get home.” She waved to him from the door

“Oh m-mom I’m going to v-visit twilight after s-school is that okay?” he turned and asked.

“Oh of course. Make sure to tell her hello from me.”

“I will,” he smiled and started to walk away. “Bye mom.”

“Bye Derpy Pie, love you!” She yelled out.

Ponies that had been close by all turned and looked at DP, and just smiled thinking how cute that was. All DP could do is blush and murmur out an “l-love you too m-mom.” Pinkie just smiled and dashed back inside to get ready for business. DP was walking to school when he spotted Fluttershy talking to somepony. He wanted to say hello, so he waited for her to be done talking. After she was done talking she turned and saw DP sitting there smiling at her. He had always had a little crush on her.

“Oh hello DP how are you feeling today?” she asked in her usual quiet voice.

“Oh I a-am good thanks f-for asking.” He replied smiling.

“Oh good I’m glad to hear it.” She smiled back.

“Oh Fluttershy s-since you’re the m-mayor could you c-cancel school?” he asked with sad eyes knowing that would get to her.

“oh dear um… I… would love to really I would…but you see…” she started to back up not wanting to make him sad by telling him she couldn’t. “I uh can’t really…um do that… Oh dear what’s that over there?” she pointed behind him. As soon as he turned his head he heard a woosh sound and turned back to see that Fluttershy flew off.

“Well that went well.” He thought to himself. Being disappointed by not getting his wish he continued to school with his head lowered. He finally made it to the school, and just sat outside of it staring. He watched the little earth ponies walking into the school, and figured he should probably go in. As he walked in he saw everypony talking and laughing, but instantly all the chatter stopped and they looked at him. About 14 pairs of eyes all were locked on him. He nervously stood there not knowing what to do. Luckily the teacher walked in.

“Oh hello there,” She smiled at him. “You must be Derpy Pie I take it. Well welcome to the class my name is Ms. Cheerilee, Oh I guess I should introduce you huh?” she laughed “Class this is Derpy Pie and I want you all to make him feel right at home. He was in a bad accident while flying and will be staying with us for a while. Ok Derpy go ahead and sit wherever you like.”

“Ok,” he replied “um also c-could you call m-me DP?” he asked quietly.

“Of course.” She smiled. DP made his way to a desk that was in the back of the row. In fact nopony was in the back row besides two orange ponies that looked the same besides their cutie marks. One had a Lasso as theirs and the other had an apple tree. He figured who they were related to. He sat down in a desk that was in front of them, that was when he felt a tap on his shoulder, so he turned to see the one with the apple tree cutie mark looking at him with a smile.

“Why howdy there the names Applecake Daughter of Applejack and Jam nice to make yalls acquaintance,” she said extending her hoof. “And this here is my twin brother Applejam or AJ for short.” Her brother was just staring at him with a confused face. DP shook her hoof and tried to ignore the stare of Applejam until he spoke up.

“Now why in tarnation is a pegasus in an earth pony class, and why yall got that bandage, and why yall stutter when you were talking to the teacher?” he was immediately smacked in the head by his sister. “Ow! What in Celestria was that for?” he asked rubbing his head.

“Yall can’t be invading somepony’s personals life like that with all them questions you fool. I apologize for my brothers’ rudeness. He really is a nice pony he just isn’t the brightest chicken in the coop if ya know what I mean.” She laughed

“Now hold it one second I am like ten times smarter then you and I’m a better apple bucker.” He shot back.

“Have you been drinking bad cider again? I’m the one with the apple bucking cutie mark you dolt.” She replied with a hoof on her face.

He looked down at his cutie mark. “Oh yea I knew that I was just testing yall that’s it.” He smiled. DP realized why there were so many open seats by them. They could talk more than his mom, and his mom was Pinkie Pie. The two twins carried on their debate until Cheerilee shut them up and began her lesson.
As he heard the bell ring signaling school was over he zoomed right out of the class. He didn’t want to get trapped in another conversation with the twins.

“Hey where yall heading?” Applecake asked. He turned to see the twins running up to him and put on a fake smile.

“Oh I j-just am going to s-see a friend.” He replied. He really didn’t want to deal with this. He wanted to hurry and get to Twilight so she could fix him up.

“Oh I reckon that’s mighty fine. I was just wondering if yall wanted to come hangout and work on our homework, but since yall got plans we can just reschedule, it’s no hole in our barn.” She smiled. “Come on AJ we gotta go help harvest apples for cider season.”

“Ah I don’t wanna you can’t make me!” he yelled. But right as he said those words his sister descended upon him and gave him a swift head butt that sent him to the ground. “Agh really come on!” was all he could say trying to get back to his legs. “You are lucky I wasn’t ready or that be different.” She lightly tapped him and due to the fact he was still trying to get his bearings he fell once again. “Shoot, stop that!”He finally got to his feet and dusted himself off before walking away. All his sister did was smile

“Ha, he’ll be just fine don’t yall worry bout him. Have fun with your friend, I’ll see yall tomorrow.” With that she bowed her head and ran off after her brother. Holy Chimychanga! they talk aloooot I mean how could somepony stand to sit there and hear one poney talk for that long I mean I would go crazy! If some pony tried talking like that to me. Pinkie. Like I would be all like hey you shhhhh I’m trying to party! Pinkiee. Oh man we should throw a party for talking about a party! PINKIE!!! What? Nothing let’s just go back to the story shall we? Hmmm Oki Doki Loki!

For some reason that DP couldn’t explain the twins were actually warming up to him. It could be due to the face they talk so much like his mom. Whatever it was he just ignored it and went on to Twilights school. He could see the top of the school from outside the earth pony school. It sat on the horizon letting the sun set behind it making it appear like it was giving out its own magical glow. The School was a dark purple and was trimmed in white. He had never been to it up close but he knew all about it from his mom. It apparently was a gift for Twilight after all she did as an apprentice for Celestria and the countless times she help saved Equestria. The fact that she was one of the most powerful ponies ever didn’t hurt much either. As he got closer he could see some unicorns outside of the building doing spells and reading books. Trees lined the pathway up to the main door. The building was much bigger than he expected. But that’s only natural when you have 250-500 students a year. To get into her school you had to have passed some incredibly hard test. He didn’t really know what the test was being he was a pegasus. As he walked to the door the groups of unicorns that scattered the courtyard all stared at him. He felt like this was a common theme for the day. As he got to the big iron doors he got a little confused because they didn’t have any handles or anyway to open them for that matter.

He stood there thinking what to do when all of the sudden there was a sudden flash of light and Twilight was next to him.

“Well hello there DP, how are you?” she asked smiling. She had dark circles under her eyes showing that she was exhausted.

“I-I’m good thanks.” He smiled back. “Um how do people open this door? I don’t see any way to do it.”

“Oh ha it’s a magic door, you see all you have to do is perform an easy spell and It will open see?” Her horn began to glow and the door opened for them. “Now follow me”

“Oh m-my mom told me t-to tell you h-hi.” He stuttered out.

“Oh how nice of her. Make sure you give her my best wishes.” She led him down a big hall way that had giant portraits of the two princesses of Equestria; Luna and Celestria. You see unicorns running every which way with saddle bags on.

“We can talk in my chambers”

“Oki d-doki loki.” He didn’t realized what he had just said until twilight looked at him with a huge smile and laughed.

“Well that was just adorable. I can’t wait to tell you mom that.” She beamed. DP just blushed and kept following her. Twilight led him up some stairs and down a long hallway into a giant room filled with books. It was very messy with books lying all over the place. Twilight got a sad look on her face. “I just need to find a certain book on healing spells. You know ever since spike left I have not been able to organize the books at all.” She sighed. “I miss that lil guy well I guess I should say big guy considering he is a giant dragon.” She laughed. “Go ahead and make yourself at home. I just need to find this book… Oh! Are you hungry at all?” she asked.

“Well a-actually I am a little.” He replied taking off his saddle bag slowly not wanting to hit his wing. He looked to see twilights horn glow again and her appearing to talk to herself.

“Yes Gem could you bring in some straw salads for me and a guest to my studies please?” DP was rather confused but just ignored it. Twilight continued to send books flying while looking for the one she desired. “It’s funny I can defeat an ursa major with a giant fireball, but I don’t have a spell to find a book I need.” She chuckled. Just then the door opened and a tray levitated into the room followed by a white unicorn. DP looked at the unicorn and was awestruck at what he saw. She had a flowing purple mane and deep purple eyes that seemed to make him feel warm inside. “Ah the food here is terrific.” She stopped her quest for the book. “Oh my where are my manors DP this is my apprentice Gem. She’s Rarities’ Daughter.” DP realized where her beauty came from.

“Hello it’s a pleasure to meet you…DP is it?” she asked in a soft yet kind voice.

“Yes that’s me DP ha ha.” He tried to puff his chest to make himself look bigger but accidently slipped on a book and fell face first. But before he hit the ground he was caught by some magical spell. He looked to see Gem had caught him, and was trying to hold in her laugh, but couldn’t contain it any longer. She busted out laughing and accidently dropped him.

“Oh dear I’m ever so sorry!” she exclaimed. “Are you ok?” She ran up to him helping him up

“Yup I’m good thank you.” He smiled.

“Uh is there anything else I can do for you Miss. Sparkle?”

“Nope that is all Gem thank you. Now return to your studies somepony has a test tomorrow.” She grinned. With that Gem expression went into shock and she ran out the door. “Aha I found it DP! Now let’s see what we can do…”

Chapter 5: A Pebble

Thanks to Vitaexdet for his characters.
And my grammar team: Whynot707 and Torllin.
And Pinkie for being Pinkie.
P.S. I love you all :D
P.P.S /] [\

“Oh dear… Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear…” Twilights face saddened.

“What? W-what is it?” DP asked looking at Twilights book trying to see what she was sad about.

“Well I have some good news and bad news…” she said closing the book.

“What’s t-the good news?”

“Well I can heal your wing bu…”

“Oh m-my Celestria t-that’s great news.” He said interrupting twilight. “I don’t k-know why you l-look sad.”

“Well if you le…”

“I mean t-this is a-amazing news!” He was now jumping up and down. Twilight tried to calm the little colt down, but he was all over the place. She finally resorted to magic and just levitated him into the air stopping his joyous bouncing. “H-Hey what are y-you doing?” he yelled out while suspended in mid air.

“DP listen, I haven’t told you the bad news yet. It is important for you to hear. Now are you going to listen?” She asked lowering him onto the ground.

“Yes.” He sighed.

“Now yes I can heal your wing, but my healing magic is different than medical healing magic. You see if I used that healing spell it would speed up the cell regeneration in your wing, but it would also speed up the cells in the rest of your body.” She looked at DP and he looked a little confused. “Basically if I used that spell to heal your wing it would cause you to age rapidly… Almost to the point of killing you and I can’t do that to you DP, so I won’t be doing the spell. I’m sorry DP, I really am.” A tear started to fall from DPs’ eye. “I can’t stress how sorry I am. I just can’t do something like that to you.” She lowered her head in shame, and then she felt a hoof on her shoulder.

“It’s o-ok Twilight.” DP murmured softly. “If that’s w-what it takes I w-want no part in I-it.” He smiled hiding his true feelings. He was really hurt when she spoke those words, but he didn’t want her to know that. For those few seconds he thought he was going to be able to fly he started imagining flying with Dashter at the academy. He saw himself flying with his dad helping him deliver mail. Then all of the sudden he was stopped floating in midair, and brought back to reality. The news hurt deep, but seeing twilight so sad was even worse. That’s why he hid his feeling in order to make her feel better. “Cheer up T-Twilight I’ll be f-fine.” he said giving her a hug. She just smiled and rubbed her eyes.

“Thanks DP.” She smiled. “Oh wait!” she sprung up saying. “I do have something else that might make you a little bit happier.”

“W-What?”

“I do have a spell that can cure your stutter problem if you wish. I know it’s nothing compared to what you wanted, but it might make you feel a little better.”

“N-No it’s ok I’m d-done with magic.” All magic did was seem to fail him and make him more depressed.

“Hmm I understand how about I teach you without magic to speak without a stutter? Also I noticed that you didn’t stutter when you talked to Gem, so I can tell you have to potential to speak fluently full time.” DP thought this offer in his head. He hated his stutter and the thought of being able to talk without it to anypony made him happy. OH MY GOSH DO IT DP DO ITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! Whoa now just calm down Pinkie let’s just see what he decides on his own free will got it? Ugh party pooper!!! Fine be like that. Go on continue.
“Y-Yeah id like that.” He answered smiling.

“Okay great! Hmm… I know, come back here on Tuesdays and we can start from there.”

“You g-got it.” He got up and headed to the door. “Uh how d-do I get out?” he asked embarrassed.

“Ha, oh it’s ok leave that to me.” Just then her horn began to glow and DP felt all funny. And in a split second he was standing outside the door. He began to feel all dizzy and started to wobble around on the path. He tripped over his feet and his face was rapidly approaching the rocky pathway.

“Ha, be careful!” a voice called out laughing. A pillow came out of nowhere and landed under his face bracing his fall. As he looked up from the pillow he saw Gem standing over him laughing. “Looks like somepony just had their first teleporting experience.” She smiled helping him to his feet. “It was cute watching you stumble like that though.” She blushed.

“Ahahaha so funny.” He replied sticking his tongue out. “I was fine I didn’t need your magical help.” He teased. He noticed that she didn’t talk at all like she did in front of Twilight.

“Oh yeah, you looked like you were handling yourself just fine without me. If you want you can fall face first again and I won’t give you a pillow.” She laughed.

“No thank you, I’m fine.” He said walking away. He didn’t know why, but he was already getting a good feeling about Gem. As he talked to her though he remember Dashter and his feelings for her. “Gem is just a friend no harm there.” He said under his breath.

“Hey where you going?” Gem called out running after him.

“Um, Home to Ponyville.” He told her.

“Oh Galloping Gala I’m heading there too, let’s walk together.” she said skipping up next to him. “You know DP I think this is the start to a great friendship.” She smiled

“Oh totally.” He replied sarcastically, but she didn’t catch it.

“Oh wait my saddlebag!” She stopped in her track looking back. DP turned back to see Gem saying something that he couldn’t quite understand. Her horn began to glow and a saddlebag appeared out of the air, landed on her back and magically strapped onto her. His jaw just dropped.

“How could she teleport objects at such a young age?” he thought to himself. “I guess that’s why Twilight chose her.”

“Okay I’m ready.” She smiled; DP just smiled back and began walking.

“Hey Gem if Rarity is your mom why do you live in Ponyville?” He asked. He was curious as to why she was in Ponyville.

“Well My aunt Sweetie Belle lives in my mom’s old dress shop in Ponyville, so When I go to Twilights school I stay with her, but on weekends my dad fly’s here and picks me up and takes me back to Canterlot.”

“Ah who is your dad?” He asked. Pretending to wipe off invisible dirt from her shoulders she spoke up.

“Soarin from the Wonderbolts,” She said expecting some kind of awe at saying such a thing.

“Oh, okay cool.” Is all DP replied with. The lack of amazement in his voice surprised her. Growing up she had always been in the spotlight, but what more could you expect from the daughter of Equestrias best designer and a Wonderbolt. She was even the great Twilight Sparkles apprentice. The fact he didn’t drool all over her when they first met drew her to him, and now the fact he wasn’t amazed at her lineage she liked him even more.

“Hmm quite cool indeed,” she smiled. “Let’s be off then.”

“Ha, okay.” He smiled back.

As they got into Ponyville they saw streaks of rainbows fly over head before coming to a stop right in front of them. As the dust cleared Dashter stood in front of them with her flight team uniform on. DP noticed that the uniform had a C sewn onto it.

“Hey DP!” Yelled Dashter excitingly. She ran up and hugged him before even noticing Gem was standing there.

“Hey Dashter,” DP replied with a huge smile on his face. Gem looked at him with a frown. “Oh sorry Dashter this is my friend Gem.

“It’s a pleasu-” Before Gem could finish Dashter butted in.

“I know you! You’re Soarin and Rarity’s kid. My parents are Rainbow Dash and Speedster.” Dashter said with a big smile.

“Oh my Celestria I heard so much about you!” Gem screamed. They started talking like they knew each other for years. DP just stood there kicking his hoofs in the ground.

“It’s funny our moms were the closest of friends and yet we hardly know each other.” Exclaimed Dashter.

“I know like what’s with that? Oh I know, we should all have a party for all of us. Let’s see, we have you, me, and DP… Uh who else is there?” Gem sat down and began thinking.

“The twins…” DP spoke up with a scared look on his face. Both fillies turned and looked at him with a confused look on their face.

“Who are the twins?” they asked in unison

“Oh Applejacks kids?” Gem asked.

“Yes.” Is all DP said.

“Oh my gosh, I want to meet them!” Dashter yelled out.

“Yes we should so invite them too.” Gem suggested. “Oh muffins I forgot I needed to help Sweetie Belle with some designs. Sorry ponies I have to go. It was nice meeting you Dashter. So long DP.” She hugged him goodbye before trotting off.

“Ha bye Gem.” He replied. As he said that Gem came speeding back.

“Oh Since your mom is Pinkie Pie you should talk to her about that party…And also tell the twins.” She smiled before finally running off.

“I’ll get right on that.” He smiled.

Dashter laughed. “See ya later, nice meeting you too.” She then turned to DP. “Aww that was a cute hug goodbye,” she smiled. DP turned red from embarrassment. “Aww now looks who is all flustered, how cute.” She nudged him. “But on a serious note I am hungry and you live in a bakery, so where do we go from here?” She asked with the most serious face DP had ever seen her make.

“Would you like to come over and eat?” DP asked still embarrassed.

“No, I just flew here from Cloudsdale to see this pebble,” she smiled picking up a pebble from the ground.

“Yea yea whatever lets go.” He said nudging her back. “Oh I forgot to ask, but I noticed that C on your uniform does that mean you’re the captain?” Dashter looked down forgetting about the actual reason she came down.

“Oh yea ha-ha I’m the new captain of the flight team!” she yelled jumping up and down. “The youngest one ever to be in fact,” she winked.

“Congrats!” He said hugging her.

“Thank you.” She smiled. “Though the only bad thing is Comet is on the team.” Her smile went away. At the mention of that name DP remember the black and red pegasus who tormented and him to the point of tears the day of his flying test. But he also remember that if it wasn’t for him bullying him Dashter wouldn’t of came and saved him and he might not of ever meet her. It seemed Comet actually helped him out. “But if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have saved your hide and met you.” She smiled and shyly kissed his cheek. He just smiled and turned red. It was like she was reading his thoughts. “Okay let’s go get some free food woo!” she flew into the air yelling.

*Crunch Crunch* Hey what did I miss? *Crunch* Pinkie are you eating something? *Crunch* No… I can hear you chewing something. *Crunch* Can you still hear me? *sigh* no. Okay good. *Crunch* you know I’m hungry too, so I mean you could of asked me if I wanted anything. Oppsies, but I’m all out sorry bud. Fine whatever what were you eating anyway? Nightmare moon candy! … It’s February Pinkie. Bawk! Who’s Pinkie I’m a chicken. I don’t know why I even ask… well back to the story. But what did I miss! Sit down and shh! Bawk... fine!
They arrived at Sugarcube Corner and went inside. They heard Pinkie singing something about smiling and they saw Derpy trying to put a picture on the wall, but he was having a hard time getting it straight.

“Ah perfect.” He smiled satisfied with his work. The picture was lopsided, but Derpy couldn’t tell due to his little eye problem. He smiled and flew back onto the ground.

“Hey d-dad.” Damn his stutter was back he thought to himself. Derpy turned to see DP and Dashter standing in middle of t he main room.

“Oh hey DP, hey Dashter.” He ran up and hugged DP. Dashter just stood there trying to muzzle her laughter. DP gave her a dark look, but that only made her laugh more.

“Ha-Ha what’s so funny ponies?” Derpy asked laughing thinking he knew what was going on.

“Nothing d-dad,” He said grabbing his face.

“Oh, okay I’ll be on my way then.” Derpy said sadly slowly flying upstairs.

“Wait dad!” DP yelled out.

“What is it?” Derpy flew back with a smile

“Uh never mind m-mom can cook b-better. Come on D-Dashter.” He grabbed Dashters hoof and drug her into the kitchen.

“See ya Mr. Derpy!” she was able to say before getting dragged away. Derpy just sighed.

“Have fun kids.” He shook his head fixing his eyes. “Now how did that picture get lopsided?” He got a hammer from his saddle bag and went back to fixing the photo.

DP and Dashter entered the kitchen where they saw Pinkie standing on the island singing at the top of her lungs. “Yes a perfect gift for meeee is a smile wide as a mile to make me happy as can beeeeee smile smi…

“Hi m-mom” DP interrupted. Pinkie jumped off the island and landed in front of DP grabbing his mouth and forming it into a smile.

“A smile as wide as a mile,” She giggled. Dashter joined her in her giggling. “Oh my gosh how was school? No! How was twilight? No! How was the weather? No! Umm Can Twilight fix you?” He tried to answer all the questions he was just bombarded with.

“Good, doing well, nice, and no.” He said the last one with a frown.

“Oh Dear,” Pinkie replied. “That’s the opposite of her being able to fix your wing.” She frowned.

“It’s okay Ms. Pie will teach him to fly again no worries,” Dashter said confidently wrapping her hooves around DP’s neck.

“Oh you’re just as confident as your mother; of course you will help him.” Pinkies smile returned.

“Oh mom c-could you cook us s-some fresh c-cupcakes?”

“Oki doki loki I’m on it!” She pulled out a camo bandanna from who knows where and tied it onto her head. “Let’s do this!”

“We s-should leave the k-kitchen” DP said backing up. “Like n-now!” He yelled out grabbing Dashter and running outside. As they shut the door behind them they could here explosions and yelling from both Pinkie and Derpy. “I don’t get her methods, but I do enjoy the results of her cooking.” They both began laughing. “Oh Celestria I forgot to tell my mom about the party.” Just then another explosion sound followed by more yelling occurred. “Maybe I’ll wait for her to finish cooking.” he laughed. Dashter just smiled at him.

Chapter 6: Dark Alleys

Sorry for the delay on this chapter :( I had my spring break and my parents came and visited me, so I was pretty busy.

you to Whynot707, Vitaexdet, Torllin, and of course Pinkie Pie.

“DP…Come…here.” Dashter was sprawled out on the kitchen floor, her belly was bloated and she stared off into nothing.

“I…Can’t…Move…Dash.” DP managed to murmur. The two young ponies had just partaken in a magical feast of cupcakes, pie, candy, and cherrychangas. They were now in an sugar coma on the kitchen floor. “Dash…I see it…I see the light.”

“No! Go away from the light.” Dashter turned over onto her stomach and started army crawling to DP.

“It’s…so…beautiful.”

“DP… Nooooooo!” she reached DP, but it was too late. He lay out on the floor with his eyes closed and his tongue hanging out. “No!” she yelled picking him up in her hooves.

“Uhh what are you ponies doing?” Derpy walked into the room looking more confused then he usually looks.

“Um I’m just mourning my lost friend here Mr. Hooves.”

“Ah, I see.” he walked around the two ponies and grabbed a muffin from the pantry. “Have fun you two.”

“We w-will!” DP yelled rising up from his “death.”

“Praise Celestia he’s alive!” Dashter threw her hooves to the sky. Both young ponies just started cracking up. Derpy just looked at them and slowly backed out of the kitchen…and into a display holding a cake causing it to fall.

“I can fix it, I can fix it! Pinkie… don’t give me that look… Pinkie… No pinkie no! HAHA Pinkie stop! HAHA…Can’t breathe!”

“Hehe *snorts* hope you learned your lesson. Guess I’ll go cook a new one, but your helping.” Pinkie appeared in the kitchen dragging Derpy behind her. “Now put on your camo this is going to get messy.” She handed Derpy a camo bandanna and put her own bandanna on.

“No Pinkie not again we just got the kitchen cleaned from earlier… Do you know how hard it is to clean without magic?” Derpy tried to plead with Pinkie, but it was no use once she was in her cooking zone there was nothing that could be done.

“We ride!” Pinkie yelled at charging at the cupboards.

“Oh n-no not again.” DP began slowly backing up with Dashter. “Quick let’s go!” he ran off and Dashter followed closely behind. They left Sugarcube Corner and were on the bustling streets of Ponyville.

“Well DP ready to fly?” she stopped walking and looked at him with a smile.

“What did you say? I could have sworn you asked if I was ready to fly. That can’t be the case because as you can see my wing is still wrapped up, and even if it wasn’t, neither doctors nor twilight could fix it.”

“I know what I said you flying feather.” Dashter smiled at him. “Like I said, I’m going to get you to fly again. I don’t care how hard, or how long it takes, but it will happen as Celestia as my witness.” She walked over to DP and whispered in his ear. “I believe in you.” And with that she gave him a kiss on his check and a big hug.

DP blushed. “Well thank you it means a lot, but I literally can’t move my wing fully in this cast, so I can’t even attempt to fly with it.”

“Oh… I guess that’s true. What should we do then?”

“Uh, we could see the twins I guess.” As soon as he said that Dashter eyes lit up.

“Oh my gosh yes!” she yelled with excitement. She took off towards Sweet Apple Acres galloping down the streets of Ponyville with DP close behind. They walked up the dirt road leading up to the farm. Apple trees were planted for as far as the eyes can see. As they walked up they could here loud bangs coming from deep in the tree. “Hey lets go see if that’s them.” She started to walk into the forest of apple trees. They started walking towards the sound. They soon saw Applejack bucking tries causing every single apple to fall into the baskets that were being moved by Big Mac. “Oh my gosh! Hey Applejack!” Hearing that voice Applejack turned around expecting to see Rainbow Dash.

“Well howdy Rai— oh I mean howdy Dashter and DP. What can I do for yall?”

“Oh w-well we were looking for the t-twins.”

“Ah shoot they were helping buck, but it seems they ran off to cause trouble I suppose.” Applejack said rubbing her head. “Last I heard they were going to go play with the chickens.”

“Thanks!” yelled Dashter before running off once again leaving DP in the dust.

“Ugh e-every time…Wait Dashter y-you don’t k-know…where…thecoopi-is…”DP said to himself before running after her.

“See yall ponies later.” Applejack waved before going back to bucking. DP finally caught up to her after a few minutes of running. He found her just standing in the middle of some apple trees.

“Can’t find the coop?

“What? No! I uh… well shut up!”

“Ha-ha maybe next time don’t go running off when you don’t know where to go.”

“Yeah yeah, whatever just lead the way, and hurry up I have to go home soon.”

“Right this way your highness” DP laughed and started walking the correct way to the coop. Dashter didn’t pay any attention to the insult behind the compliment. She was just picturing herself as a queen with thousands of subjects.

“Oh the possibilities.” She said to herself with a grin.

“What was that?”

“Huh? Oh nothing…Nothing at all.”

“Right, well we are almost there, so stop whatever it is your doing.” Soon they could hear the voices of two ponies arguing. “This will be fun.”

“Now why would you ever think that putting a chicken in a well would be a good idea you dolt?” I don’t get it. Why put Scootaloo in a well? What? Oh…ha I see what you did there…hilarious. *snorts* HAHAHA I know I’ll be here all night! Lucky me…

“Well duh it’s science, yall wouldn’t understand it. You see if a chicken is in a body of water for long it turns into a duck, and momma has been saying how she needs a good ducking from dad.”

“…I… Yes um well… Let dad handle that. The big question is how we gunna get this here chicken out.” DP had already turned to leave before being stopped by Dashter who turned him back around.

“Hey guys.” DP said walking up to the twins

“Well howdy!” Applecake said with excitement. “I thought yall weren’t coming over.”

“Yeah well my mom is p-putting a party together f-for us, and I am here to let you know it w-will be a week from now at my h-house, after my c-class with Twilight.”

“Who’s us?” Asked Apple Jam.

“Well you t-two, Dashter here, and Gem. And of c-course me…Oh shoot I forgot to i-introduce you ponies. Well Dashter this is Applecake and Apple Jam.”

“Nice to meet you two.” She said extending her hoof

“Shoot it’s a pleasure to meet yall. Hey yall got wings you wouldn’t mind flying down this here well and getting a chicken would you?”

“Of course not! Anything for a new friend.” Dashter flew up into the air and flew into the well grabbing to chicken that was splashing about. Unfortunately for Dashter the chicken in its frantic state scratched Dashsters face causing her to yell, but not drop the chicken. She quickly flew out and dropped the chicken on the ground. “Agh! It scratched my face!” She yelled out grabbing her face.

“Oh shoot are you ok?” Applecake ran up to her trying to get a look at the cut. “Look what ya caused AJ.

“What me? I didn’t scratch her face!”

“No, but you put the blasted chicken in the well!”

“Oh that yeah… I’m sorry Dashter.”

“It’s… okay… I’m just going to go home now and get it looked at. It was nice meeting you.” She walked over to DP. “I can see now why you were so happy to come here.” She laughed.

“Ha yeah… but will you be okay?”

“Ha oh yeah this is nothing I’ll be fine. I will come back in the next few days to help ya fly again.” She smiled at him

“Ha, okay can’t wait.” Dashter gave him a hug and flew off. “Well I guess I’ll head home too.”

“Well all righty it was nice catching up and thanks for the party invite. We’ll see yall tomorrow.” Smiled Applecake

“Yup see ya then.” DP started his walk back home to unwind on an eventful day. As he reached Ponyville he had forgotten to ask his mom about the party. He rushed towards his home going as fast as his little legs could take him. To save time he took a shortcut down an ally that would cut his time in half. As he went down the alley it seemed as if the sun’s rays got darker for an unknown reason. “Well this can only be good.” He thought to himself. He decided to just try running faster to get out of the maze of alleys he was now in. Just then a voice shouted out to him.

“Why look who it is. The new retarded Pegasus who can’t even fly. Ha he doesn’t even have a cutie mark.”

“Ha yea what a dummy!”

“Ugh shut up you dolt.” The mysterious pony said to his friend smacking him. “Now where were we ah yes the tard here. Now why is a pegasus going to an earth pony school?”

“Look I d-don’t have time f-for this I have to g-go.”

“Oh i-i-i- ha-ha what is wrong with you freak?” DP tried walking past the two but the bigger one pushed him to the ground. “Hey where do you think you’re going? I’m not done with you yet.”

“Listed I d-don’t want any t-trouble. Can I p-please just go home?” DP got up off the ground and dusted himself off.

“Ah ah ah who said you could get up?” The pony asked pushing DP back down. “Now my friend and I here aren’t too keen on you flying freaks. And to hear that a pegasus was in an earth pony school, well that didn’t sit right with me, so I was going to look for you, but wouldn’t you know it you came to me.

“You don’t e-even go to this s-school why do you care?” DP asked getting up again.

“I said don’t get up!” The pony struck DP across the face with a right hoof. DP fell to the ground in pain. “Now as to your question… no I graduated sadly and now let’s just say I run a club. And in our club we just don’t like your kind frankly. I would highly suggest you drop out of that school.”

“Screw y-you I’m n-not quitting.” DP said spitting out blood.

“Ah well, see now we have a problem.” The pony walked up and hit DP in the stomach with another hoof. “I’m sure I can change your mind.” He gave another jab to DP’s broken wing. DP yelled out in pain, but nopony heard his cries. The Beating went on for 5 minutes, but for DP it was more like 5 hours. After the two ponies were done with the beating they just went off into the shadows leaving the unconscious DP in the alley.

“Derpy I’m worried. He hasn’t come home yet and it’s dark out.” Pinkie was walking around outside in front of Sugarcube Corner. Her hair was flat and she had a distraught look on her face.
*yawn* “Go to bed dear ill stay up and wait.”

“No! Something is wrong I can feel it. I’m going to go find him.”

“Okay I’m coming too though.”

“No go find Twilight she can help us track him down. I’ll start looking down every street till he is found. Now fly!”

“Right, I’m on it!” With that Derpy took to the skies towards Twilights school. And Pinkie ran off into the streets shouting DPs’ name.

“Derpy Pie where are you?” Pinkie yelled down the streets. She had felt her pinkie senses tingling, so she knew something was going to happen. “Where are you DP? Help me.”

“M-Mom…”

“DP!” Pinkie ran off as fast as she could to where she heard that faint cry. “I’m coming DP don’t you worry!” She entered into the alley way that DP had entered just 2 hours before hand. She rushed down the alleys to where she heard the voice come from and soon enough she came upon the small light pinkish beat up body of DP. “Oh Celestia DP!” Pinkie ran and kneeled at the body of DP picking him up in her hooves. “DP can you hear me? Are you ok?”

Coughing he was able to answer her. “Oh I’ve h-had worse.” He smiled before falling back into unconsciousness.

“No DP wake up!” Moments later Derpy and Twilight appeared and together they teleported to the Hospital.

Hours later DP finally awoke. He looked around to get a feel for his surroundings. It was during this he realized he was in the hospital, and not only that, he was in the same room from the last time he was there.

“Well this is just d-dandy” He said aloud.

“Well hi sleepy head!” A familiar voice called out.

“Oh hi Gem.” DP was confused… And in a lot of pain.

Chapter 7: Class

Thank you to Whynot707, Vitaexdet, Torllin, and of course Pinkie Pie.

“Uh Gem, what are you doing here?”DP was sitting up still sore from the attack last night.

“Oh well twilight is here instead of teaching, so she told me about what happened and told me to meet her here, so I’m here.” Gem suddenly teleported to his side—almost causing DP to fall out of the bed.

“Ah! Totally forgot you could teleport.”

“Ha-ha yea… Holy Celestia you look like rotten apples!”

“Oh my thank you for your support,” DP replied sarcastically. “What would I do without you?”

“I wouldn’t want to meet the pony who had to find out,” she smiled. “But seriously what happened, who do I have to turn into hay?”

“I…” He got vivid images of the mysterious pony hitting him repeatedly with his hooves. “I was just on my way home from Sweet Apple Acres and I decided to take a shortcut through some alleys…” The images came back causing his bruises to start hurting. “Some ponies stopped me and I… I don’t know… it was all a blur. I passed out and woke up here.” Tears were forming in Gems’ eyes.

“That’s terrible! And to think it happened in Ponyville of all places!” “How could anypony do that?”

“I don’t know, but I’m starting to realize there is a much darker world out there. Oh are my parents here?”

“Oh, yes your mom is asleep. Apparently she was up all night at your bedside after the doctors patched you up.”

“And my dad?”

“Oh, he is talking to twilight outside.”

“Could you go get him?”

“Of course, oh and DP I’m glad you’re okay,” Gem smiled and ran out the door. Gem ran into the hallway and told Derpy and Twilight that DP was up. They both rushed into the room forgetting all about the past out Pinkie behind. Derpy being the caring father bombarded DP with questions, but DP could only answer what he remembered which wasn’t a lot.

DP was eventually allowed to leave the hospital and went home with his parents. Twilight and Gem, after making sure DP was well, went back to her school. The Twins brought the homework that DP missed to his house and helped him study it. Dashter came later in the day after her practice and kept talking about all the things she was going to do to the ponies that hurt him. All of this was just a blur in DPs’ eyes. He was stuck trying to remember what happened, but more importantly he thought he forgot about talking to his mom about the party. After Dashter went home he finally asked his mom.

“Hey m-mom I keep forgetting to ask you something.” DP was at the kitchen table eating the gumdrop salad his mom had made him. Pinkie was cleaning some pots and pans in the sink.

“Yes sweetie what can I do for ya buddy old pal Oh wait before you ask did you do all your homework?” DP just sighed.

“Yes I d-did.”

“Oki doki loki! What did you need to ask?” Pinkie suddenly was sitting at the table in front of him, while the dishes were still washing themselves.

“I wanted to h-have a party n-next Tuesday, with D-Dashter, Gem, and A-Applecake and A-Apple Jam. Like right a-after I got h-home from twilights.”

“Oh…My…Gosh…” She ran and grabbed him in her hooves and started to shake him. “That’s like the greatest most spectacular idea ever! I would love to do that,” she finally stopped shaking him and set him back down at the table. “Now finish your food,” she smiled and walked back to the self cleaning pans. Still trying to get his bearings DP was making a vain attempt to make everything around him stop shaking.

“T-thanks m-mom,” his reply sounded like he was talking into a fan. After he was done eating he went and took a bath. After the bath he was standing in front of his mirror looking at his reflection. His normally poofy yellow hair was damp and was hanging down his face; his light pink coat was still dripping. “Why c-cant you be normal,” he said to his reflection expecting a reply. “You c-can’t talk right half the t-time and you can’t f-fly,” his voice was getting louder.

“Hey son, having a little argument I see… are you winning at least?” DP turned to see his dad standing in the doorway his eyes in his usual cross eyed state and a big smile on his face. DP just gave him a death look. “Hey I’m just kidding, listen I heard what you were saying. Follow me son,” Derpy turned and started walking away and DP reluctantly followed. Derpy led him to his bedroom. They walked past the messy bed and the kerfuffle of balloons that were all over the floor. “In here,” Derpy opened the closet and went in. A moment later he returned with a box in his mouth. “Look in here,” he said pushing the box towards DP. Sighing DP opened the box and look inside it. To his surprise the box was full of letters.

“What a-are these?”

“Just read them,” Derpy smiled. DP picked up the first letter and began to read it.

“Why don’t you go back home to don’t belong in flying school you are a disgrace of a pegasus.”

“Dad w-what are these?”

“Just read the next one.” DP did as told and picked up the next one.

“You ruined everything you failure. If you cost us another game we are going to kick your flank.” DP was confused, but picked up the next one.

“This is a reply to that joke of a love letter you gave me. No, no I will not go to the dance with you. I would never get that close to you. You are a freak and I don’t want to catch that weird eye thing you have. Do yourself a favor and fly into a dragon’s lair.” DP finally understood what he was reading.

“Dad t-these are l-letters to you.”

“Yup everyone,” he said while picking up the box and pouring out the mass of letters that were still in it.

“Why… I d-don’t understand.”

“You see, I keep all these letters as a reminder of what made me into the pony I am today. No pony is perfect DP, I mean I’m close, but still not perfect,” he began laughing. “You’re not alone like I was DP, I’m here and your mom is here and we love you.”

“Yup we sure do!” Pinkie yelled out grabbing both of her boys in a group hug.

“Pinkie enough…We need to breath,” Derpy manage to say.

“He-he sorry,” pinkie said snorting.

“I l-love you m-mom and dad, b-but can you l-bet me go I need s-some sleep.”

“Of course honey! But first take this balloon with you,” pinkie finally let go of Derpy and DP and grabbed a pink balloon and gave it to DP.

“Okay…s-sure mom.” DP grabbed the balloon and headed to his room. He lay in his bed staring up at the balloon floating above him. “I do have a g-great life,” he smiled at the balloon before drifting off to sleep.

HEY READERS! Hunter is asleep so I’d thought I would fill ya in to what has happened ha-ha. Isn’t that exciting!? Oki doki loki, so the next day was boring blah blah went to school…Oh! Dashter came over, but was late due to some junior Wonderbolt thingy I don’t remember… Oh we had cake, it was really good *snort* he-he. Derpy broke a lamp, which was funny. And yeah… that happened the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day. Oh I totally have like the best party planned out for DP it will be amazing! I think that’s where we should start the day of the PARTAY!!! Ugh Pinkie seriously? I’m sleeping what…You skipped all the way to Tuesday… I saw your notes and they weren’t fun! Now this party is fun! So go on start writing go go go! Fine…

It was the day of the party, but DP didn’t care, he laid under his covers trying to block out what was to come. “It’s Tuesday, Tuesday everypony up it’s Tuesday!” DPs’ hooves went straight to his ears trying to block out the wretched Noise that he heard every morning from his mom. It was too much to handle, he had to give in.

“I’m up…Just…s-stop please,” DP had his hoof covering Pinkies mouth, but she was still trying to mumble out the words. “Look I’m o-out if bed, so y-you can stop…p-please.”

“Fine, you know you never let me finish the song,” Pinkies hair deflated and she turned to walk away. DP just sighed to himself

“F-fine, go ahead and finish it,” DP said with regret. Pinkies hair instantly poofed back up and she started to sing. *Scene missing due to the fact even ponified no one should get that song in their heads*

“Thank you! You’re the best,” Pinkie hugged DP and gave him a kiss on his forehead. “Now grab your saddle bag and a cupcake to go. I don’t want you being late again. Cheerilee said you’ll get detention if you are late again.”

“I know I k-know,” DP hurried downstairs and in a single chomp ate his cupcake. He hurriedly went out the door with his saddlebag in his mouth. He ran down the bustling streets dodging ponies left and right. His eyes caught the alleyway for a split second. He still hasn’t remembered all that happened in those alleys a week ago, and he was glad he didn’t. “Bah,” is the only sound he let out. He finally got to the school and busted through the door just as the bell rang.

“Ah, DP I see you’re on time for once,” DP looked up from the floor to see Ms. Cheerilee standing over him. DP just smiled and squeed before slowly backing up to his seat in the back next to the twins.

“Nice timing partner,” Applecake said nudging DPs shoulder.

“Yeah, I’m good like that,” he smiled back.

“Psh I’ve seen better,” Apple Jam spoke up.

“Oh shut it you fool,” she said smacking him in the back of the head.

“Hey quiet down back there,” Cheerilee yelled out. The three fillies sunk into their chairs, satisfied Cheerilee went back to her lesson.

“We are real excited for your party tonight,” Apple Cake whispered.

“Ha, yeah, it should be fu…” Cheerilee was standing over DP tapping her front hoof to the ground.

“Are you ponies done interrupting me?” she asked while glaring at all three ponies.

“Yes Ms. Cheerilee,” they all replied in unison.

“Good, because you will have plenty of time to talk in detention.”

“W-what, no… I have a m-meeting with Twilight right after school.”

“Well, the mighty twilight can come take it up with me if it’s a problem, but since that isn’t going to happen detention it is,” she just smiled and went back to the front of the class.

“Feathers,” DP said under his breath as she walked away. The rest of the class dragged on for what seems like hours, Cheerilee went on about her times in the 80’s saying how those were the glory days, and how you just don’t here good music like that anymore. She even called out Vinyl Scratch, but seeing that some of the students were falling asleep she got to her lesson.

“Okay class today we are going to talk about Discord.”Cheerilee pulled down a screen reveling a picture Discord. “You see class Discord was banished long ago by Celestia and Luna, they turned him into stone with the elements of harmony, and put him in her garden, so they could keep watch over him, but many years later he was able to break out of his rock prison.” She failed to mention that it was some of her students, which broke the spell over him on a field trip she took the class on. “Luckily the new keepers of the elements; Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy used the elements and defeated him once more. Hearing their moms name Applecake and Apple Jam cheered.

“Yeah that’s our momma! Oh DP your mom too,” Applecake said with a smile.

“Yes yes, we all know who your mom is, no need to gloat. No…” Her voice was cut off by the bell. “Oh it seems we are out of time. Make sure you pick up the worksheet I put on my desk, it’s your homework for the night.” She was soon mobbed by fillies all fighting to grab a paper, so they could be the first to leave. Seconds later all the fillies were out of the classroom…all but three that is; DP, Applecake, and Apple Jam still sat in their seats moping.

“I just don’t know what I’m going to do with you three. It was bad enough when it was just you two, but now DP you’re in on it too.

“Not my fault ma’am, Applecake started it,” Apple Jam pleaded.

“I did no such thing you scoundrel. Accuse me again and yall will meet my hooves the Dixie Mares!”

“Bring it you sack of apples!” Apple Jam yelled out before being tackled by Applecake.

“Now…Guys…Stop…” The teachers’ voice went unheard as the twins went each other. DP just sat there watching the whole charade sighing. “I will call Applejack,” the teacher finally blurted out. Fearing their moms scorn they instantly stopped, but not before Applecake got in one last swipe to Apple Jams head.

“Ow, teacher did yall see that I was assaulted I demand a lawyer and what not!”

“Ugh, I don’t get paid enough bits for this.” Cheerilee ignored the colt and went to her desk.

“Ms. C-Cheerilee I really n-need to go,” DP finally spoke.

“Listen DP, unless Twilight magically teleports right here and tells me herself I can’t let yo-” Her voice was cut off by a loud explosion and a blinding light appearing in the classroom. Papers went flying all over the place. The twins clung to each other with their eyes closed. When the light finally subsided a purple unicorn stood with a much smaller unicorn at her side.

“Well hello Ms. Cheerilee it has been awhile hasn’t it.”

“Uh…Twilight…good, err I mean yes… yes it has.” Twilight turned to see DP grinning at his desk.

“I see somepony is in trouble,” she snickered. “I’m sorry, but I need to take DP with me now. We have a special class to get to.”

“Yeah, hurry up ya slowpoke,” Gem chimed in. DP got straight out of his desk and ran to stand beside Twilight and Gem.

“I’m sorry about this, but these are very secretive important classes, but I’m sure he will get in trouble again soon,” she smiled before teleporting again. Cheerilee just stood there with her mouth gaped open, but finally something broke her paralysis.

“Um, I need to go clean myself after that ma’am.”

“Oh my Celestia, Apple Jam went and soiled himself Ms. Cheerilee!”

“Not enough bits at all.” Was all she said.

Seconds later DP was standing in Twilights office.

“Well that was fun,” Twilight smiled. “Are you hungry DP?”

“Uh a-actually yes.” Twilights’ horn began to glow and a plate of grain bars appeared on a table in front of them.

“Hey, if you could do that than why did you make me get food last time I was here?” Twilight just smiled at her and stuffed a grain bar in her mouth.

“Sorry mouth’s is full,” she said with a mouthful of grain. Swallowing she asked “So, DP do you care if Gem is here or would you like to do this alone?”

“S-She can stay,” he smiled. Gem immediately yelled out and gave DP a hug. “Gem my wing.”

“Oops, I forgot… ha-ha sorry.”

“Ok, enough you two, we need to get down to some business.” The trio sat around a table and twilight pulled out some cards from some container. “Okay DP I want you to repeat what’s on these cards.” DP began trying to read the sentence on the first card.

“S-Sally sells s-saddle bags by the s-sweet s-sugars-shop.” He was annoyed how many times he stuttered.

“Good, now say it again please.” DP once again said the line, but still stuttered at all the words. “Now DP don’t get angry just focus and do it again please.” About halfway through the sentence he messed up on sweet shops and just yelled out and swiped the card off the table.

“I c-can’t do it,” he said with an angry tone in his voice.

“DP, yes you can, I believe in you. Don’t let your anger get the best of you; an angry mind is a narrow mind.” She levitated the card back up and set it down in front of him. “Now please this time; relax, breathe, and count to three.” DP looked down at the card and slowly started to breath and count to himself.

“One…two…three… Sally s-sales saddle bags by the s-sweet shop.”

“Excellent DP, you see what you can do with a calm mind?” she smiled at him. Suddenly her door busted open and a crimson stallion stood in the office.

“Twilight we have an emergency,” the crimson stallion said with fear in his voice.

“What is it Firebane?” Twilight got up from the table and ran over

“Uh, well… it seems Trixie accidently summoned an Ursa Minor and is having some trouble dealing with it.”

“Ugh again? Okay I’ll be right there.” Twilight turned to DP and Gem. “I’m sorry to cut our session short, but it seems I have an issue to deal with. I hope its okay if I teleport you both home.”

“Yes,” Both fillies said in unison.

“Okay, splendid, I know you have that party today DP so ill just teleport you both there. Now stand together.” Gem hopped next to DP and put her hoof around his neck.

“We’re ready,” she giggled. Twilight’s horn grew bright and a bubble engulfed the two fillies. A second later they were both gone.

“Okay, let’s go fix Trixies mess…again.” Twilight and Firebane ran out to go fight the Ursa Minor. When DP opened his eyes he saw that he was in his kitchen with gem still wrapped around his neck. He looked around the room and took notice to a fast approaching pink blur.

“Oh n…”

Oh gosh I wonder what hit him. Guess you’ll have to wait in see. NO! You take FORREVUUURRRR to write! I was busy. I will be better don’t worry. Besides don’t you have a party to plan? Oh no!! Much better, thank you for reading see you sexy things next time ;)

Chapter 8: Partay

Thank you to Whynot707, Vitaexdet, Torllin, and of course Pinkie Pie. And all of my readers! i love you all! Gimmieahug!

“OH MY GOSH I’M SORRY!” Pinkie picked up DP and Gem off of the ground. “I’ve been so busy cooking and decorating for your party I just didn’t see you.”

“Y-yeah it’s ok mom. How are you Gem?”

“Well my head hurts a little, buuut I’ll be ok!” She said perking up.

“Good I’m g-glad to hear it,” DP smiled at her.

“So,” Pinkie spoke up. “What pony wants to help cook and decorate?”

“Oh me, pick me Mrs. Pie!” Gem yelled jumping up and down.

“Now that’s what I like to hear, DP what about you?”

“Eh, I’ll just s-supervise.” DP walked over and grabbed a cupcake off of the counter and put it in his mouth. “Oh m-my gosh these a-are really g-good,” he tried saying with his mouth full.

“DP! Don’t eat those yet! Those are for the guest!” she barked out and somehow grabbed the cupcake in its entirety out of DPs’ mouth. “Now wait for your guests please, they should be here in about an hour. Why don’t you go help your dad with decorations, Gem and I will cook.”

“F-fine mother.”

“Great, now Gem go get a bowl out from under the sink please.”

“Yes Mrs. Pie.” Gem bounced to go retrieve the bowl. DP went into the front of the house/bakery where the sales counter was located and saw his dad struggling with streamers. They were constricting him like a python. As he struggled on the floor with the streamer python he turned and saw DP staring at him.

“DP save me, the beast is to much for me!” he yelled squirming with the streamers. DP walked over and pulled on one red streamer that caused all the streamers to unwind and set free Derpy. “Ah, thank you son…that was the battle of a life time, each side giving and taking in an epic tug of war of life and death. Yes my boy it was an epic nettle indeed… thank you for saving me.”

“Right… so you n-need help?”

“Yes, yes I do…Just hold this end while I fly up and tape these onto the wall please.” DP grabbed the end of the streamer and watched as his dad flew up taped the streamers to the wall. “Right, so how do they look so?”

“Fine…”

“Just fine? Not great, or amazing, or partyriffic?” Derpy frowned.

“W-WHOA DAD THEY L-LOOK AMAZING!”

“Oh come on you’re too kind.” Derpy smiled.

Should of went with the pink streamers, everything looks better in pink I mean party starts with p pink starts with p it’s like a sign from the Celestia that pink is the correct choice! Hey can you guess what my favorite color is huh? Guess, come on guess! Pink… Oh wow you’re good how about a harder question? What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? …African or European? What? I don’t know th-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Right, so let’s carry on.

"Hmm something tells me I should have gone with pink…”

“Dad… n-no.”

“Oh, okay it’s your party.” Derpy continued to hand the streamers around the room. Once he finished he flew down and gave DP a pat on the head and went outside to hang up more streamers. He failed to noticed that all the streamers in the room were angled down instead of going straight across. DP didn’t feel the need to tell him his mistake. DP sat there for a minute just listening to the all the sounds coming from the kitchen; the blender was going at full blast as well as bowls being moved with a heavy laugh. DP just smiled and grabbed some deflated balloons and started blowing.

“Gem, spatula.”

“Spatula!”

“Frosting.”

“Frosting!”

“Mmm sprinkles.”

“Mmm sprinkles!”

“Yes, yes my masterpiece is complete! Mwahahahahaha!”

“Uh Pinkie?”

“Yes Gem?”

“They are just cupcakes....”

“Yes, but cupcakes are the best thing ever! Well besides laughing, cake, pink, punch, parties, dancing, balloons, candy-“

“YES! I get it ha-ha. How long before the cupcakes are done?”

“Thanks for the help Gem!

“Oh, it’s no problem Mrs. Pie”

“Oh please call me Pinkie Pie! *snorts* no manners here! It’s a party!”

“You got it Pinkie Pie!”

“Now you’re getting it!” The two start dancing around the kitchen throwing confetti and frosting every which way. After blowing up his 50th balloon DP laid flat on the ground breathing heavily. He closed his eyes and just let his mind go. All of the sudden he got flash backs. He was back in the alley way with the two ponies hitting walking up and beating him. His eyes instantly opened.

“I remember!” He yelled out.

“What do you remember?” A familiar voice asked. DP turned to see Dashter standing thing with a perplex look on her face.

“Oh, umm… Nothing,” he smiled.

“You’re something else ha-ha.” Dashter walked over and gave him a hug and a light jab in his shoulder.

“You’re early.”

“What? Is it bad I came here early to help out? I guess I’ll just go home…”

“NO! Err I mean no. Don’t go, I have so many balloons and not nearly enough in me to blow them all up.”

“Hmm is that the only reason?” She got closer to DP.

“Um…” DP just started blushing. Before he could answer Gem bursted into the room and tackled Dashter.

“DASHY!” Gem yelled out hugging Dashter.

"Gem!” Dashter yelled back hugging Gem. The two fillies shared a warm embrace and then started talking at what seemed to DP 100 miles per hour. Sighing DP just went back to blowing up balloons hoping that he would pass out and not have to hear the constant chatter. After what seemed like 100 years, but was only 5 minutes the two fillies stopped talking and helped DP with the Balloons. After about 10 minutes they could hear yelling coming closer.

“This is the house, He said Sugar Cube Corner. And that there sign says Sugar Cube Corner you dolt!” yelled a female voice.

“Whatever! Let’s just go in I’m hungry.” Replied the male voice.

“Well hold the door open for me.”

“Now why in Equestria would I do that?

“Because, that’s what gentle colts do! Now hold open the door for me.”

“No, I’m going to be first. It will show DP how good of a friend I am.” The door opened up and the head of Apple Jam popped in. Before he could take a step in he suddenly face planted and got dragged outside. “No let go!” was the last they heard. A second later the door opened up and Applecake appeared inside while stuffing a lasso into her saddle bag.

“Howdy all,” she said tipping her hat.

“Welcome,” DP smiled.

“This looks like quite the hoedown.”

“What do you expect when Pinkie Pie is involved?” Laughed Dashter. Finally Apple Jam came in. His face was a little dirty and his eyes had a look of pure rage.

“If it wasn't for this being a party I’d teach you a lesson.”

“Oh is that so partner,” Applecake grabbed her lasso out of her bag. Apple Jam shrunk.

“No…”

“Thought so, now let’s party!”

“Did somepony say party?!” Pinkie burst through the door with a plate of cupcakes, a confetti launcher on her head, and she was pushing a giant canon into the room.

“Uh mom…w-what’s that?” a wide grin grew on Pinkies face.

“Oh this old thing…” Derpy who was behind the counter looked up from his paper

“Oh no, children run!” Derpy instantly flew out of the building and into Ponyville. Only Pinkie and the 5 ponies were left.

“So…w-what is that thing?” Pinkie slowly put down the plate of cupcakes and took off her confetti hat. She walked back slowly to the pink canon that as just sitting in the middle of the room. The Fillies and colts slowly backed up closer to the door.

“Well you can’t have a party without….A PARTY CANON!” Pinkie instantly shot the canon and a loud explosion occurred that echoed all around Ponyville. Back at Sugar Cube Corner the ponies we covered in streamers, confetti, and balloons. Pinkie just rolled around on the floor snorting and laughing. The fillies group of ponies just looked at each other in disbelief, but they too started laughing. Derpy though was still flying as fast as he could. Who knows where… After stuffing themselves full of cupcakes it was time to play a game.

“What do you p-ponies want to play?”

“Who stole the muffin!” yelled Gem.

“No, pin the tail on the pony,” replied Dashter.

“Those games aren’t any fun and involve no skill. Let’s play bobbing for apples,” said Apple Jam.

“Bobbing for apples? What are we eight? No let’s play rope the cow.” Applecake said hitting her brother.

“What’s Rope the cow?” asked Gem

“Well it’s where somepony is the cow and the other ponies are the wrangles. The object is to lasso the pony that is the cow. Whoever ropes the cow first gets to pick who the next cow is.”

“Hmm, that seems fun,” smiled Dashter.

“Who is going to be the first cow though?” Asked Apple Jam. He soon realized all eyes were on him. “Darn it…” Applecake gave everypony an extra lasso that she just so happened to bring with her.

“Now he gets a ten second head start. Also no magic and flying,” she said staring at Gem and Dashter.

“Whoa don’t look at me with those eyes. I don’t need to fly to win this!”

“Eh, I probably need magic, but I’ll abide by your rules.”

“Do any of us even know how to use a lasso?” asked DP. Gem and Dashter just stared at each other then back to DP and sunk their heads. “Yeah, I thought so.”

“Well that’s no worry it’s easy to learn…well it’s easy to learn enough to play this game. I can teach yall real quick.” With that the ponies went outside and started practicing with their lassos. After 30 minutes of some intense lasso training and a few mishaps of ponies lassoing passer biers the group finally was ready to play. "This is going to be a bit harder now that the moon is up.” Applecake said staring into the starlight night.

“Oh well let’s play!” Yelled Gem bouncing up and down.

“Okay, you ready Jam?”

“Yeah, yeah, let’s just get this over with.”

“Okay, I’ll count to ten and then we will all give chase. Now while I count we need to close our eyes to make it harder. Jam you are only allowed to go as far as Fluttershys’ cottage and the school. You got that?”

“Yes! Now let’s go!”

“Fine, One…two…three…” Apple Jam ran off towards the school as fast as he could. “Four…five…six…seven…eight….nine…TEN!” Dashter and Applecake Sprinted off towards Fluttershys’ cottage, while Gem bounced towards the school.

“Hurry up DP,” Gem yelled back to DP.

“Sigh, might as well t-try to enjoy myself.” DP galloped off towards the school.

“You aint gunna get to the cottage before me, without those wings yall just a slow earth pony.” Applecake called back the young rainbow pegasus who was having a hard time keeping up with the earth pony. Hearing that angered Dashter, and all of the sudden she started gaining ground on the earth pony. “What the?! Looks like I took you for granted.” Applecake tried improving her pace.

“You aren’t going to beat me! My moms the fastest Pegasus in all of Equestria!”

“Key word there is pegasus Sugarcube.”

“Grr… we’ll see” Dashter got angrier and started going even faster. She finally caught up with Applecake. They soon started shoving each other. “Hey knock that off!”

“Me? Yall started it,” she yelled shoving back. Soon the cottage was in sight the two fillies pushed even harder to get there before the other one. They got across the bridge and were almost there when all of the sudden a yellow mare was walking some ducks across the path. The yellow mare saw the two young ponies rushing towards her. She just shrieked and hid her head in her arms.

“Watch out!” Dashter quickly jumped and flew into the air to avoid collusion with the yellow mare.

“Excuse me Fluttershy.” Applecake jumped over Fluttershy and the duck and galloped towards the cottage. Dashter saw this and instantly flew fast to the cottage. Thanks to her wings Dashter beat Applecake by a split second.

“Ha I won!” Dashter smiled.

“…Yall cheated!”

“What? How?”

“You flew…”

“Oh, yeah…AHHH!” Dashter yelled.

“Wait we this wasn’t a race we were supposed to get Apple Jam.” Applecake looked around. “Hmm guess he went to the school.”

“Figures…By the way we’re racing again you can count on it.”

“Well I’ll look forward to it Dash. I can’t wait to beat you fair and square.”

“Yeah whatever, but for now let’s get back, I bet your brother already got caught.”

DP was trying to catch up to Gem, but she was bouncing at incredible speeds. A few ponies were still outside finishing up errands or closing up shops. DP soon ran by the alley where he was jumped. He looked down it and got chills. He finally caught up to Gem who had now cornered Apple Jam.

“Now we can do this the hard way or easy way Jam. What is it going to be?”

“Yall can’t catch me ya city slickers!” Apple Jam kicked up some dirt that hit Gem in the face.

“Ack! Cheater!’ Gem started yelling and her horn began to glow. Soon Gems lasso came to life and shot at Apple Jam.

“Hey yall can’t do that! That’s cheating!” The lasso roped itself around Jams legs.

“Well next time don’t kick dirt in my face.” Gem slowly walked up to the incapacitated Colt.

“No Gem, no need to cheat,” DP walked over to the two. He untied Jam who instantly ran off.

“…What did you do that for I had him?!”

“Yes, but what’s the fun in getting him with magic?

“The magic makes it like ten times more fun!”

“Opps,” DP just smiled and started running after Apple Jam. Gem sighed and joined the chase.

Gem and DP caught up to Applecake and Dashter who were both laying on the ground breathing heavily in front of Sugar Cube Corner.

“Where did he go?” Asked DP. The two tired ponies pointed to a pink mare that was giggling over a smaller pony that was tied up. “Mom?”

“Oh hi DP! Look I won, I won!” Pinkie jumped up and down with the biggest smile. “So, do I get to pick who to go after next? Because I choose all five of you!” Pinkie soon was holding 5 lassos spinning each one.

“Uh the g-game is over it’s late.”

“Yes um me and Apple Jam need to get back to the farm.”

“Oh, what’s that I here sweetie belle calling me!” Soon it was just Dashter and DP standing there.

“Aw fiddlesticks… Well I’m going to go clean up DP come get ready for bed.”

“Okay let m-me just say g-goodbye to Dashter.”

“Oki doki loki!” Pinkie bounced inside.

“That was a fun party DP,” Dashter smiled. She seemed to have got her wind back from all the running.

“Ha thanks.”

“So… that dance that combines all the pony schools is coming up…”

“Yup it is”

“…I bet it will be fun”

“Maybe, dances suck.”

“Ugh… no I would love to go to that dance.”

“Ha-ha lame!”

“Never mind DP, I need to go home I’ll see you later!” Dashter angrily flew off into the night sky. DP was confused at why she was so mad.

“Well t-that was weird.” DP slowly walked inside and went to bed.

DP YOU FOOL YOU FOOLISH FOOL! I don’t see what the problem is. You…What? SHE WANTED HIM TO ASK HER TO THE DANCE! IT EVEN SAYS SO IN THESE NOTES YOU WROTE! I have never seen those notes in my life! Men are hopeless goodbye! Well I never! Good day!
