Author's Notes:

Another chapter done!

I'm apologize in advance for the poor writing done in this chapter. I honestly tried so hard to make it good but I feel this one came up short. I shall revise it later, but for now let's jump right into it.

So last chapter Mary met Maud and Trixie got in trouble with everyone's favorite political pony(or at least mine). So now will Mary forgive her?

Time to find out! Enjoy! Also the Game.

Mary wandered the streets of Ponyville heading towards her one other sanctuary in this little town. Derpy Hooves home. She marched on not stopping until she reached her destination. She came upon the familiar little house with the two little mail boxes with muffins on them. She smiled and trotted up to the door. taking a moment to relax herself she raised a hoof and knocked on the door three times.

A moment or two later the door opened revealing Dinky. The little unicorn filly smiled at the sight of Mary. She opened the door letting the older mare in, closing it behind her she lead Mary to the living room. "So Mary, what brings you here today?" Asked a familiar grey mare in a chair by the fireplace. It was just being lit as the sun began to set in the distance. It was still a good hour before it was dark but ponies were setting up for the night and closing shops.

Mary walked over to Derpy placing a hoof on her shoulder. "I wanted to talk to you Derpy."

She though about Trixie and the lies she had revealed to her about Maud. It made her angry to think about. Derpy looked over to see Mary with a angry expression on her face. She placed a hoof on hers smiling warmly to her calming her slightly.

"Please sit, I'll make some tea and get you a relaxing muffin." She said leading Mary to the couch. Dinky ran up sitting beside the tan mare like it was perfectly normal. "Dinky, mind yourself today. Mary and I are having adult talk tonight. Please go to your room when we start, OK?"

The little filly looked to her mom devastated. "But mooom!" she whined. "I hardly ever get to see Mary!"

Mary giggled patting the filly on the head. "Now little Dinky mind your mother." She said in her best authoritative voice. It was hard to sound that way to the cute filly but she nodded.

"Yes, Mary." she sighed.

"That's a good girl. Now why don't you run along and I promise to hang with you next time I see you. OK?" Mary reasoned to Dinky.

"Can we go out for ice cream? I'll buy." she asked.

Mary looked over to Derpy who was walking out of the kitchen with the tea and muffins, she nodded.

"Sure thing." Mary she whispered into her ear.

"Yes! Thanks mom! Mary!" She ran to hug her mom first then Mary and ran off to her room. "Come say bye before you leave, K?"

"Sure thing Dinky." Mary said waving to her as she retreated to her room. "She's such a sweetheart."

"Yes she is." Derpy placed the tray with the tea and muffins on the table. "So, what did you want to talk about?"

Mary rubbed her white collar nervously. She had many things to say so many questions needing answered. She felt betrayed by Trixie for not telling her about her feelings for Maud Pie. That revelation had shaken her to the core. She felt she needed to go far away like she could escape it and where did she go? To another place of pain to cover it up. Derpy.

Why do I let myself get hurt so much? she thought still rubbing her collared neck tie.

Mary looked over to Derpy with a saddened expression. "Derpy, I feel..." she stopped trying to think of how to relay her feelings to the grey wall eyed mare. "It's about Trixie."

Derpy's mouth gave a small, oh as she recalled the mare in question. She then smiled blinking. "She's such a nice mare that Trixie," she said taking her cup of tea and sipping it.

"You are luck to have a friend like her."

"That's the thing! She lied to me! She said she loved me but it turns out she had feelings for somepony she knew elsewhere now she's here and Trixie was embracing her and now I don't know how to feel about her!" Mary panted not taking a breath as she spoke until she'd finished blurting out every word. "And the worst part is, she said she loved me but never said she loved another."

Derpy smiled sitting beside the distraught mare. "You said that twice Mary."

"Said what twice?"

"That she lied to you." Mary shook her head rubbing her temples. "Why didn't you tell her this? Why did you come to me?"

Mary sighed thinking of what to say. The truth would be a nice start, but she was worried how Derpy would respond. So she decided the best thing to do was just gun it.

"I was hoping you'd remember me." she said.

"Remember you?" Derpy asked tilting her head. "Of course I remember you Mary."

"No I mean that-what WE use to be!" Mary pressed her face against Derpys making their noses touch. "I wanted so bad for you to remember the times we shared! The tears we shed together! The LOVE we shared! After you hit your head on that rock after that horrible accident I was worried sick you'd never remember me! It took a long time but you did but you didn't remember us!"

Derpy gave no indication of any emotional change. She simple stared at Mary waiting for something. The silence went on and it drove Mary mad. Waiting, ironically, was not something she was good at. She simply smiled after a minute hugging Mary.

"Oh Mary, you silly filly." She cooed in the mares ear. "If that's what this is all about then why didn't you tell me?"

The tan mare pushed her away looking furiously at her. "I Came here to tell you but I was scared you wouldn't remember me and I'd be all alone!" She placed her hooves together in front of her on the couch leaning forward, placing all her weight on them. "I even asked Twilight to help you remember! Anything and everything she could think of!"

"Mary-"

"I want us to be together Derpy! I miss you so much it hurts!" She hugged the pegasus crying into her shoulder. By now the last of the sun light had inched into darkness as shadows loomed over the land. Ponies retreated to home for the night and shop signs read closed.

Inside Mary's heart there was a turmoil of pain and anger. "I want us to be together so much. Do you remember this?" the tan mare asked ripping off her collar showing it to Derpy.

"You gave this to me on our second date! I loved it so much. I kept it all this time hoping you'd remember the love we shared but you never did. All you saw me as was a friend. Nothing more."

Mary leaned down dropping the ascot to the ground. It gave the ever so slightest bounce before laying lifelessly there, mocking her. "The worst part was, you were still my friend after all this and now I can't distinguish my feelings for you from our friendship." She leaned in kissing Derpy. The two locked lips Derpy closed her eyes as a warm sensation came over her. Then her eyes shot open as a spark ignited in her mind. She wrapped her arms around Mary pulling her into a passionate hug/kiss.

Derpy's vision became clear as day. Her mind became clear, and for the first time in a long time she felt whole again. After a minute she broke away from the tan mare smiling at her. Mary's teary eyes glanced curiously at her.

"I don't remember." she said kissing her once more. "I remember our friendship but nothing else I'm afraid. I'm sorry, Mary."

"But..."

"But nothing. If you do love me then go back to Trixie and tell her you're sorry." Mary was about to respond but Derpy held a hoof over her lips silencing her. "Do you love her?" Mary nodded. "Then tell her. Forgive her like you did before."

Mary frowned at her. "I can't not after she lied to me."

Now it was Derpys turn to frown. She took hold of Mary forcing her to look into her eyes. The tan mare looked stunned as the wall eyed mare took hold of her. No, not wall eyed her eyes were in perfect alignment. "You technically lied to her."

"I never-"

"You never told her about your feelings for me, did you?" Derpy asked smugly.

Mary said nothing. The silence confirming Derpy's theory. "You didn't tell her, yet you're here after she didn't tell you she had feelings for another mare? That's awfully hypocritical of you."

"I didn't- no I did I mean I meant to but-'' Mary tried hard to justify her shortsightedness but found nothing.

Derpy leaned back, getting off the couch, she walked over to the table looking a one of her many photos. She placed one face down. A tear fell but Mary didn't notice in her shocked state as she hid behind her blonde bangs.

"You need to go Mary." she said firmly. "If you wait you may never get another chance. Remember what I said?"

Mary sighed as her eyes teared up. "Yeah, I do. You said she won't wait forever, neither should you."

"And I meant it Mary. The poor girl is probably crying right now."

"I doubt that. She has that Maud mare with her and Platinum." Mary sighed taking her glasses off. "She doesn't need me."

Now, Derpy was not one for violence but that had pushed her over the edge. She walked over and slapped the tan mare across the face scowling at her. Mary looked shocked at her rubbing her cheek tenderly.

"Do you love her or not Mary?" Derpy asked forcefully.

"I... I do." She replied with difficulty.

"Then please go to her. If nothing then do it for her." she held Mary's hooves. "Go be with her. Make up for the lost time now while you can before you lose her forever."

Mary looked at Derpy with desperation in her eyes. "But I can't"

"I don't feel the same way."

Mary stopped mid sentence staring at the other mare with a stunned expression. "What? but why?" Her eyes misted as she tried to fold back a flood of emotions building up in her. She felt like her chest was going to explode. "I don't understand. Why?"

The rgey pegasus grabbed Mary buy the shoulders shaking her with each word she spoke.

"Mary. After my accident I just- lost the spark. I didn't remember anything about our relationship even though you and Dinky did. I just... don't feel that way anymore." she pulled away from her sitting back on the couch. "I'm sorry. I know it's not the answer you hoped to hear but understand this-" she paused making sure Mary was paying attention. "You have Trixie now. You have to be there for her or else you'll lose her. She remembers you and the time you spent together in a short time has sparked something wonderful that you both can share. Don't you understand?"

"Trixie is hurting and you're here talking to me. You need to go." Derpy flew up pushing Mary to the door. She tried to resist but was forced out the door. "You have to go to her before it's too late!"

Mary fell to the ground landing awkwardly on her hoof. Looking up she saw Derpy frowning, her wings flared as she blocked the path to her house. Mary stood up nursing a sore hoof. "But what about you?"

Derpy flexed her wings taking a deep breath. She opened her eyes. "I'll be fine love. Remember what I told you. She won't wait forever. Now's your only chance. If you don't reconcile with her you may never get the chance again." The pegasus walked over to her fried nudging her on. "Hurry! Before it's too late!"

Mary thought back to when she first spoke to Derpy concerning Trixie. "Do you think it's, OK to love again? Like after somepony you loved is gone and can never come back? Is it alright to love another? Or is that betraying their memory and the feelings that once existed?"

"Of course it is Mary. Why wouldn't it be OK to fall in love again? Only a selfish pony would tell their loved one to never love again. If it were me, I'd tell the pony I loved if you ever find it again, give it a comfortable shoulder to lay on."

She looked back to Derpy who was smiling with an eager expression on her face. And for a moment, just moment her eyes went straight. That's when it happened. Mary could see it. The flicker of thoughts long forgotten as Derpy nodded telling her in silence that it was alright. Derpy said she was fine with this. She always had been. Even now she was and how ling am I going to wait? HOPING for something that will never come back? Why am I so selfish? Mary thought back to what she told Trixie and the hurt look she had on her face when she rejected her apology and her love.

She had to make this right. Turning to face her former lover she gave Derpy one last passionate kiss. Her tongue rolled in her mouth as Derpy returned the gesture. After on intense moment of passion Mary pulled away taking her collar and threw it to the ground. With a look of determination she began running for home.

"Please wait Trixie." She said as she ran past Twilight who was happily skipping along. But she paid no mind to the mare. She had to find Trixie before Maud left with her and she'd be alone again. "I'm coming my love! Just wait a bit longer!"

Off in the distance she saw her home and the light was lit. As she rounded the gate the lights flickered for a moment before darkness took the inside. She didn't even try unlocking her door or to see if it was even locked. She ran up turning away from the door rearing her hind legs. Then, with a long forgotten strength of her heritage she kicked the door sending it flying across the living room into the back wall.

Maud came running out with a serious look ready to fight on a moments notice. She stopped once he saw Mary but kept her distance making sure to block the path to the room she came from.
