Doctor Whooves and Blue River had been together for 5 years. They were, what everypony said, a match made in heaven. Blue River was a sea purplish-blue peagus’ pony, with a light blue, wavy mane and tail, which both had a cream streak through it. She had the colour eyes of the sky and her cutie mark was a waterfall. She was in charge of the rain at weather patrol.
The Doctor, was a very handsome colt, he had a dark brown spiky mane and tail, while his coat was light brown, he also had blue eyes, but was a earth pony, his cutie mark was a time turner, since he was secretly a time lord. But only Blue River knew that.
The two would travel through time together, they would do literally everything together. That was, until one faithful day. River was at work, pleading the other weather ponies to let the rain fall tomorrow so that she and Doctor could spend some sunny weather together. While, in the meantime, Doctor, or Doc for short, was sitting outside enjoying the sun, and some ‘me’ time. He did get sick of spending every single second of his day with her sometimes.
While Doc was sitting outside, the new mailpony stopped at his house and asked,
“Is t-this the Whooves residence?” She was a young, grey peagus pony, with a normal blond short mane and tail. One of her eyes seemed to be a lazy eye, which Doc tried to look at as an amazing feature on her. Her eyes were the colour of the sun, a bright yellow.
“Why it certainly is, how can I help you?” Doc said.
“Well, I’m a new p-p-pony in t-town, and I h-heard that y-you were one of t-th-the friendliest pony in t-town” The pony stuttered.
“Well, I’m Doctor, you can just call me Doc, and, why, thank you for coming to me, so what’s your name?”Doc asked the young mare.
“M-my name is Ditzy-doo, but you can j-just call me Ditzy, or my nickname, Derpy!” Ditzy said
Doc found the name Derpy a bit rude, but called her that anyway, cause she seemed to like it.
“Well, Derpy, Let me show you around town!”Doc said.
“That would be nice!” Derpy said.
So Doc led Ditzy around town, showing her too lots of different ponies, and buildings.
After a long day of walking, talking and showing. Doc finally stopped and asked Derpy,
“So where are you staying overnight?”
“Oh, at an old friends house called Carrot-Top!” Derpy replied before any pony could say ‘Sweet Celestia’.
“Oh, look at the time, I’d better be going, my wife’s going to be real mad!” Doc exclaimed.
“Wife?” whispered Derpy sadly as Doc walked away.
When Doc opened the door to his home, Blue River was standing in the kitchen, glaring at him.
“Where were you?” She said silently, but angrily.
“Oh, I was showing the new mail mare around town! You and her would be great friends!” Doc smiled, trying to wipe his wife’s angry mood of her face.
“I thought we made a vow, you know, with this?” She held up her necklace that had a silver water fall charm and a gold time turner charm on it. Every mare got one of those necklaces when they got married.
“That doesn’t mean spending every single second with you, I mean, we barely have enough time to spend with Sparkler! She’s always on her own, or out with friends, we never get to spend time with the whole family, it’s usually just you and me!” Doc started to shout at the end of his sentences.
“It’s always with your excuses, Sparkler this, mail mares that, time trouble this! Every time I try to bring a sunny day on a scheduled rainy day, you waste it!” Blue River yelled.
“Well why don’t you let it rain, and we can use, the SCHEDULED SUNNY DAYS!! IS THAT TOO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND?!?” Doc screamed.
“Well if that’s the way you want it, then that’s the way you get it.” Blue said, “I’m leaving, for a week or 5 on holiday, without you. If I come back and your with that new ‘mail mare’ I’ll leave your life forever.”
“No, darling please, I’m sorry!” Doc said. Blue River just kept on walking towards their room.
“Please, at least say good night to your daughter.” Doc said softly.
“Fine..” River said, she walked the other way down to Sparkler’s room.
Doc stood at the door and listened to what his 2 girls were talking about.
“Mum, why do you and dad fight so much now, can’t we ever have a good day together as a family?” Sparkler, his daughter asked her mum.
“Well darling, it’s complicated, I’ll tell you when you get older.” River said.
“Why not now? Why later?” Sparkler asked
“Why all these questions? You’re making me tired, just sleep now, ok darling, I’ll always love you, no matter what, you understand, remember that, remember that forever,” River continued, “Your dad and I still love each other too, ok? All mum’s and dad’s fight sometimes, you don’t have to worry about it...” She trailed off.
Knock knock, Knock knock...
Doc peeked his head through the door and asked,
“Can I join my two girls?” Doc sat next to sparkler and said,
“How’s my lovely purple unicorn doing?”
“I’m good dad! But I have to ask you something, something to you both...” Sparkler said.
River and The Doctor looked at each other with confusion.
“Yes, darling?” River said.
“Why am I a unicorn, when mum’s a peagus and dad’s an earth pony?”
The tie breaking question, the one that neither of the parent’s would’ve liked to hear, especially on a night like this.
“That’s a tough one, we can’t tell you that just yet, we will let you know when you’re older, like 12...” Doctor said.
“Ok, but that’s a long way away! I’m only 7!” She exclaimed.
“Don’t worry about it, darling, oh look at the time! Way past your bed time! Time to close your eyes, ok?” River said and gave her daughter a kiss, so did doc.
They walked out of the room into their own room, got ready for bed themselves.
“See that wasn’t that hard,” Doc said when they went to bed.
“No, it wasn’t...” River said as she got under the blanket. “Though don’t expect me to play nice mommy, life isn’t the way it used to be. I’ve decided I’m leaving in two days time. Tell your daughter that, when I am gone, I’ve gone on a mission for weather patrol. Remember what I told you, because I’m not saying it again.” And then she was in a deep sleep.
Doc couldn’t sleep that night, you’d think it would be easy for him, but it’s not. He tossed and turned and kept on thinking about what Blue River had said to him that evening.
Doc woke up the next morning with a note next to him. He picked it up and it said:
Dear Doc,
I left this morning for my ‘vacation’, decide who it will be,
That new mare, Derpy or Ditzy-doo,
Or me,
Your first love.
From,
Blue River
That was heart-breaking, Doc wanted both of them, before Doc could think some more, he heard a knock on the front door, walked down stairs and opened the door, there stood Ditzy-doo.
“Hi there Doc! You look tired! I heard your wife left for a weather patrol mission! I might join them, instead of this mail mare job. But I like my mailing job anyway!” Derpy enthusiastically said.
“You have no idea, come on in, I’ll show you around!” Doc said, “So how was your first week here in Ponyville been, how’s Carrot-Top, how long have you guys been friends?”
“Whoa, slow down with the questions! Well, I met lots of new ponies, though I think Rainbow Dash isn’t that fond of me...” Derpy said sadly
“Don’t worry about her! She’s off in her own world!” Doc said.
“Yeah, I don’t need her, lucky I have you!” Derpy said, she walked up to Doc and stood close to him. He felt a rush of butterflies through his tummy and his cheeks went red under his coat.
“So anyway, Carrot-Tops fine, only she got a bit annoyed when I ate all her muffins in her pantry, and made a new batch and ate all of those too, me and Carrot have been friends since we were both in kindergarten, we would make all kinds of things together, muffins, carrot muffins, we would garden some carrots... all that sort of stuff...” Derpy drifted off into a flash back.
PLONK! The shovel hit the ground as Derpy and Carrot-Top finished planting carrot seeds in the ground.
“Now we can make carrot muffins!” Derpy exclaimed.
“Good idea, but we have to do it tomorrow” Carrot said
“Why not now, Carrot? Derpy asked, tilting her head to the side.
“Because the carrots have to grow silly!” Carrot said as she jumped into the air to catch Derpy and bring her down to the ground.
“I love you Derpy!” Carrot said and gave her filly friend a hug. Derpy felt her orange fur rub against hers.
“Me too Carrot.” Derpy said.
“Hey, grey peagus, hey! Hello?” Carrot said.
“Hello? Any one home?” A small purple unicorn stood in front of her waving her hoof in her face.
“Oh sorry, I was just thinking of something.” Derpy though back of what she was day dreaming about,
‘Damnit Derpy, why do you always forget!’
“Oh Ditzy, this is my daughter Sparkler.” Doctor said, then whispered in her ear, “She’s adopted, but she doesn’t know that yet.”
“Dad! No fair! Don’t whisper things that I don’t know to other ponies, you promised!” Sparkler said.
“I guess I did, I’ll tell you now.” And Doc whispered something into Sparkler’s ear.
“Now, you don’t get it unless you go and eat breakfast and go to Dinky’s house to play, ok?”
“OK DAD!” Sparkler Shouted and ran off to get ready.
“Did you just say Dinky?” Derpy asked.
“Yes, That’s Sparkler’s best friend.” Doc said
“You have to take me to this Dinky! I beg you!” Derpy pleaded.
“Ok, but why?” Doc asked.
“I’ll tell you when we get there...” Derpy said, with a happy smile to her face.
