Chapter 2-Control
Derpy was sitting in the middle of a dark candle lit stadium that existed underneath Canterlot Castle. Around her were almost eighty or so elder ponies in dark cloaks who were whispering amongst each other. Her heart sank as she was silently being judged by the elder counsel of Equestria.

“This is our new queen?”

“How can we expect a mail pony to know how to properly rule?”

“Just look at those eyes, so pathetic. No way she can be queen.”

“How could Celestia choose her?”

Derpy could not believe what was happening. Just yesterday she was going through her daily routine and now she had accidentally killed the ultimate powers of Equestria and was about to be put on trial by the most magical and wise ponies in the world.

The whispering came to a halt when a much larger stallion unicorn draped in maroon red walked up to a pedestal. He spoke in the loudest voice Derpy had ever heard which she could only compare to the traditional royal Canterlot voice.

“DERPY HOOVES!!!”

“YOU HAVE BEEN SUMMONED HERE BY THE EQUESTRIAN COUNSEL TO DEAL WITH MATTERS REGARDING THE FUTURE OF OUR GREAT LAND!!!”

“DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY BEFORE WE BEGINE?!!!”

“Um…c-can I go to the little filly’s room?”

“REQUEST DENIED!!!” Boomed the councilman with literal lightning and thunder being discharged behind him.

“ACCOURDING TO WHAT YOU TOLD THE GUARDS AT THE SCENE OF THE INCIDENT, CELESTIA NAMED YOU THE NEXT QUEEN OF OUR LAND!!!”

“IS THIS TRUE?!!!”

“Y-yes your honor.”

“VERY WELL!!!”

“THOUGH WE DO NOT AGREE WITH HER DECISION, WE ARE OBLIGATED TO CARRY OUT HER FINAL ORDERS AND COMANDS!!!”

“THUS, IT IS OUR DUTY TO SUPPORT THE WORD OF CELESTIA!!! FELLOW CONCILMEN, I GIVE YOU THE NEW LEADER OF EQUESTRIA!!!”

“QUEEN DERPY HOOVES!!!”

“ALL HAIL DERPY HOOVES, QUEEN OF EQUESTRIA!!!” Chanted every pony in the room

Derpy simply sat there in awe. She could not even begin to fathom what was about to happen in her life. She had been given a new chance and could change things for the better. Now she could make an Equestria worth living for.
“No, not an Equestria, but a Derpestria!”

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

“You’re really going to be queen?!” Said Dinky who was bouncing around there gigantic castle bedroom.

“Yes I am. The council said that they would make the official announcement after the princesses’ funeral.”

“Does this mean I’m a princess?”

“It sure does sweetie.”

“YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!” Screamed Dinky.

“Honey, before we celebrate we have to go pay our respects the Celestia and Luna and …OH CRAP I FORGOT I HAVE TO FIND SOMEPONY TO HELP RAISE THE SUN AND MOON.”

Indeed Derpy had forgotten that the Sun was still stuck in the sky, untouched since Celestias death. But who could she find that would have the power to help her raise the massive objects on a daily basis? Her thoughts turned to Ponyville and the only pony she would ever think of at a time like this.

“I have to ask Twilight.”

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

The funeral was a massive gathering of every pony from all across Equestria. Each one would pay their respects and drop a flower on the two large caskets adorned with beautiful Sun and Moon symbols.

As the funeral went on Derpy finally found the sight she dreaded to see. Over by the caskets were none other than Twilight Sparkle and the other elements of harmony. Twilight lay on the ground balling her eyes out over the death of her teacher as were her friends. With that she decided to go and comfort the unicorn.

She approached the unicorn and said the words on ever pony’s mind.

“T-Twilight I’m sorry for what happened. I know you were close with the princess.”

She then embraced Twilight into a hug to help her cope.

“Oh Derpy, sniff don’t feel sorry. I mean, it’s not like it’s your fault this happened.”

Derpy cringed at those words knowing full well that Celestia's death was all her fault.

“Yeaaaaah, totally not my fault.” She said slowly and awkwardly.

“Twilight I need to ask you someth-”

“WHY!” interrupted a scream from a young colt who was crying next to Luna’s casket. Derpy and Twilight recognized him to be that kid who moved to Ponyville from Trottingham named Pipsqueak.

“Poor kid he must be taking it pretty hard.” Said Derpy

“My true love has left me”

“Wait what did he just say?” said Derpy only to be interrupted by Twilight.

“So what did you want to ask me?”

“Oh yeah, Can you follow me I want to talk to you.”

Derpy then began to tell twilight about what had happened and how she had been named queen by Celestia leaving out the parts about how their deaths were her fault.

“I can’t believe it.” Said Twilight

“I know it’s very complicated but I wanted to ask you if you would be willing to help me raise the Sun and Moon?”

“W-Wow this is such an honor Derp-I mean my Queen.”

“Oh Twilight you don’t have to have to call me that.”

“Yes your majesty.”

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

Twilight had read many books on the magic it takes to raise the Sun and Moon and had even been taught the techniques it took to do such a feat by Celestia herself. Of course no mere unicorn had actually raised the celestial bodies in over two thousand years since the birth of the royal sisters.

“Okay I’ll give it a shot” Said Twilight.

Her horn soon began glow with a power so immense that it could be felt by almost every unicorn in the vicinity. Her power reached the sphere and……… “Nothing”

Twilight stood there panting from exhaustion. She thought she could do it but the strain was too much.

“huff sorry huff I huff will try huff again later.”

“It’s okay Twilight we will figure something out later. For now, I think it’s time to make my announcement.

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

“PONIES OF EQUESTRIA I GIVE YOU OUR KNEW LEADER, QUEEN DERPY HOOVES!!!”

“AND MAY I ALSO INTRODUCE THE NEXT HEIR TO THE THRONE, PRINCESS DINKY HOOVES!!!”

There was an almost quiet silence as every pony in the audience sat there stunned. The same thought was going through everyone’s mind. Why would you pull a prank at a time like this? A few minutes went by before it finally sank in that the Councilmen were being dead serious.

Derpy Hooves was now officially Queen of Equestria.

A few more moments passed before the crowd slowly began to build up an applause for their new leader.

“This isn’t so bad.” Said Derpy.

“What could go wrong?”
