Chapter 1-Life
It was a beautiful autumn day as Derpy Hooves was making her morning rounds. She had gone through this routine almost all her life with minimal changes and everyday would stay on a strict rout that started in Ponyville and ended in the capital city of Canterlot. The amount of mail she usually carried was rather large and tended to be a strain at times, but it paid her bills and kept her daughter Dinky fed.

Had it not been for her mail job, she would most likely be out on the streets with a hungry Dinky since no pony in their right mind would ever hire sompony without proper depth perception. Though she felt she had a decent life, it was hard being a single mom and she never liked to talk about whatever happened to Dinky’s father.

All of her life she was made fun of do to her outlandish eyes. This caused her to have a hard time getting along with others because she was always so defensive. Even her small amount of friends gave her a hard time when it came to them but she had learned to live with them, once in a while they always seemed hurt her mentally, emotionally, and at times physically.

There was however one pony in Ponyville who always seemed to brighten her day, always taking time to thank her and never bringing up anything about her eyes. That pony was none other than the local librarian slash royal student slash savior of equestrian slash possibly most powerful unicorn in ever, Twilight Sparkle.

Derpy would never admit it but she had developed sort of a small crush on the unicorn simply because she was one of the only ponies ever be nice to her. Twilight would ask how her daughter was doing and always make pleasant small talk that in every way seemed to give the grey Pegasus the strength to continue her daily life. Derpy had no idea why she felt the way she did but enjoyed her small chats all the same.

Just once Derpy wished she could have the strength to tell Twilight how she felt, but it was always so hard. Whenever she would look into the violate mares eyes it would cause her to simply melt.

As she approached Twilights library and knocked on the door she was greeted by the mare of her dreams and simply became absorbed into those wonderful eyes and blushed. Even though one of Derpy’s eyes was looking in an opposite direction, she still held a small look of affection for Twilight.

“Hi Derpy, how has your day been?” said Twilight.

Derpy, who could never think straight around Twilight, quickly let out the first words that came to mind.

“Muffins!” said Derpy loudly in an attempt to make Twilight laugh.

“Ha Ha Ha, oh Derpy you always know how to make me laugh in the morning.” Derpy then proceeded to give twilight her mail and leave.

“ Huff ….Another failed attempt to tell her how you feel.”
“Maybe someday?” With that she left and went home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When she arrived home she was greeted by the happy sight of her daughter playing with her raggedy dolls. She wished with all her heart that she could afford real toys for Dinky but the money was just so hard to come by. Dinky ran at almost the speed of light and tackled her mother with a warm hug.

“Mommy, guess what I made at school today?”

She then proceeded to hand her a crewed foalish drawing made from crayons of what appeared to be a picture of her flying with her mailbag.

“This is wonderful sweetie; I’ll keep it with me on my flight just to remind me of you okay.”

In truth Dinky had brought home tons of these drawings and they all seemed pretty repetitive, but Derpy always encouraged her because Dinky was all she had and she never wanted to see her upset.

“Okay. Do you want to eat dinner now?”

“That sounds like a wonderful idea.”

As they ate dinner Derpy could only ponder what to do about her little filly’s unbelievable appetite and the lack of money she had to pay for it. Thankfully tomorrow was the one day a year that she received her bonus and if she was lucky and everything went the way she wanted, a possible promotion was on the horizon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

“FIRED?!”

“I do apologize Ms. Hooves but we cannot afford any more mishaps.”

“B-But I haven’t had anything happen in months.”

“I know you haven’t but according to our records you have gone over the limit of allowed mistakes. I simply just cannot allow for these to go unobserved.”

“What have I done that could possibly count as mishaps?”

“Well, according to what I have here in your file, it states that you have stolen food from one of the houses on a daily basis.”

“Oh that’s just Carrottop, she’s my friend. That’s just a game we tend to play with each other.”

“That’s not the only thing though, it says that you single hoovedly burned down a house when you crashed into a lit fireplace. The couple that lived there threatened to sue us but dropped the charges when we gave them the money to build a new one.”

“Oh, well maybe Lyra and BonBon shouldn’t have had the fireplace lit when it was seventy degrees out!” She shouted with a sarcastic tone.

“Then you happened to get into a fight with that pink earth pony over…..muffins?”

“I wasn’t about to let Pinkie pass those monstrosities off as muffins!”

“Then there was the incident where you dropped a multitude of heavy objects on an innocent mare including an anvil and piano.”

Derpy had asked Twilight for her forgiveness over that hundreds of times and each time the unicorn would say that it was okay and she didn’t hold anything against her. That was one of the reasons Derpy loved Twilight so much and always felt like they could be good friends.

“But she forgave me for that and I go-

“Enough!”

“The list just goes on and on. I’m sorry but I have to let you go.”

Seeing how upset Derpy was her boss decided to do something nice.

“Okay, if it will make you feel any better, I will let you take this important document to the Princesses in Canterlot. This will be your final assignment and paycheck. Once again I am very sorry.”

Derpy sat there with almost tears in her eyes as she grabbed the letter and walked out the door.

“What am I going to do?”

“How will I feed Dinky?”

“How will I keep the house?”

Each thought became more and more panicked as she flew towards Canterlot for her final assignment.

“There has to be some job out there that will take me.”

-----------------------------------------------------

Princess Celestia was sitting in the throne room with her sister as they continued to go through a large amount of paperwork that kept the country running. As they filed and sorted, signing what they needed. A large white Pegasus guard walked in the room.

“Your majesties, a mailmare has just arrived and claims to have an important document for you.”

“Let her in.”

Derpy entered the room and even though she had been crying, gaped at the astonishing décor of the mansion. It almost felt cereal knowing that this would be her last assignment for a job she had known all her life. She bowed and walked over to give them the letter. As soon as she took her first step, her awkward eyesight caused her to trip and fall into a large vase that was next to her. The vase then proceeded to fly into the air where it hit a painting on the wall. The painting then fell off the wall and struck a bowl of decorative marbles that went everywhere. When one of the marbles hit an old grandfather clock it caused the glass to shatter and the clock to fall over. As the clock fell it landed on a basket of spears that were used by the Pegasus guards in times of turmoil. The spears flew into the air where they managed to slice threw a rope which just so happened to hang one of the largest chandeliers in all of Equestria.

SNAP!

When the rope broke and the chandelier fell, there was a massive bang with dust and debris everywhere.
Derpy lifted her head to see what had happened when the sight finally caused her eyes to almost go straight.
Both princesses had been crushed by the chandelier and where gasping for air.

“Mail…mare.” Said Celestia weakly.

“ I don’t have much time, so I must make this quick. I now bestow upon you the leadership of this kingdom take care of its people well as a queen should and find a good unicorn to help you raise the Sun and Moon….ughhhhhh. With her final breath her almost two thousand year reign ended.

Derpy, sitting their shocked looked over at Luna as she spoke her final words.

“Tell Pip I love him and that I regret nothing…..hnggguhhhhhhhhh.”

And with that, all was silenced.

The guards ran into the room moments after they heard the crash and saw the gruesome scene.

“WHAT HAPPENED?! What did they tell you?!” Said the guard.

“Th-th-the-they made me queen.”
