One week later.....

Ponyville.....

///////////////

Derpy Hooves waited by the entrance to the Portal from BLU's dimension. It had been one week since RED has convinced BLU to go back to their game of killing. BLU had promised to write to everyone in Ponyville once a week every week. Today, was mail day, and Derpy was patiently waiting for the mail to come. She couldn't wait to hear from Soldier, and neither could her daughter, Dinky. Derpy wouldn't have to wait much longer, though. Suddenly, the portal opened, and a bag of letters came crashing down to the ground.

Derpy smiled from ear to ear. She sorted through the mail. It seemed as though all of Team BLU had written to whomever they had been attached to the most while in Ponyville. Medic had written to Twilight, Heavy wrote to Fluttershy, Sniper wrote to Rainbow Dash, Scout wrote to Pinkie Pie, Engineer wrote to Rarity, Spy wrote to Zecora, Demoman wrote to Applejack, Pyro wrote to Trixie, but Trixie was not in Ponyville at the Moment. She was in Canterlot, trying to become noticed for her Magic Shows. And finally, Soldier....Had written to Derpy. Derpy squealed with excitement. She would have to deliver the mail now.

Derpy started to fly in the air, but not 3 seconds later, she crashed into an unsuspecting Rainbow Dash.

"Ouch!" Said Rainbow Dash, rubbing her head with her hoof. "That's the third time this week, Derpy!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry Rainbow Dash! I'm just in a hurry to deliver this mail, and-"

"Whoa, hold on." Rainbow interrupted. "Is that the mail from BLU?" Derpy nodded.

At that, Rainbow Dash's eyes lit up. "Is there a letter for me?" She would be pissed if Sniper didn't write to her.

"Of course!" Smiled Derpy. "It's from Sniper, too." Rainbow Dash then flew high into the air, and shouted a clearly audible "YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!" She then flew back down, leaving a very noticeable crack in the ground.

Rainbow Dash scratched her neck awkwardly. "Ehhhh, I'll fix that later." Derpy giggled.

"Here," said Derpy. Handing Rainbow Dash her letter. "I have to go deliver the rest of these now. See ya later, Dash!" And with that, she flew off.

Rainbow quickly opened the letter, and began to read it.

Dear Rainbow Dash,
Ello, luv. How are ya doing? I'm a bit of a drag at the moment, honestly. It sounds weird, coming from someone as calculating as me, but I feel a bit.....Bored here at the base. After everything that happened at Ponyville, I just can't seem to find killing people fun anymore. Not only that, but I can't seem to stand still for a minute. Heh, I blame you for that. But anyway, if things seem this boring for much longer, I'm thinking about taking a lil' trip to good ole Ponyville. How does that sound?
Love, Sniper.

Rainbow Dash was beyond excited. She missed Sniper so very much, and though she wouldn't admit it, when she was blind, she kind of enjoyed Sniper taking care of her. She was hoping that he would get more bored, and FAST!

Derpy flew a short distance to Twilight's house. She knocked on the door, and Spike answered.

"Hey, Spike." Said Derpy. "Is Twilight home?"

"She pulled another all nighter." Said Spike. "That Medic really did a number on her. She keeps trying to find stuff on Humans. She said," And then, Spike started to imitate Twilight in his spot-on impression of a girl. I wonder if he secretly is one, sometimes...."I want to be ready when the species returns to Ponyville." Rainbow Dash was right. She's a MAJOR egghead!"

Derpy giggled. "Well, she's in luck. Because the mail came today, and Medic had written her."

And then, out of nowhere, Twilight pushed Spike out of the way, and inserted herself into this conversation.

"MEDIC WROTE TO ME?!" Twilight said, grinning ever so huge. Derpy nodded

"Here you go." Derpy said, handing Twilight her letter. And with that, she flew off.

"Oh, how great! Another letter from my Earth buddy!" Said Twilight, not noticing a in pain Spike groaning on the floor.

"What's so special about him, anyway?"

"Spike....He's someone from a whole nother Dimension, and a whole nother species! This discovery is the most interesting thing I've ever....Well, discovered!"
Spike then imitated kissing sounds, which earned him a glare from Twilight.

"It's not like that, Spike. I just find him quite interesting. This could be a breakthrough if a pony like me could find out information about.....HUMANS...." She really put the emphasis on that last word, almost moaning it.

"Whatever you say. I still think you've got the hots for him."
Twilight ignored Spike, and began to read the letter.

Dear Fraulein Sparkle,
It is most comvorting to be back to my real Job. Healing people is a great help, and I am proud to do just that. Under the subject of my return to Ponyville, I vill return when killing people is a tiresome hobby once again. Ponyville is a very peaceful place, and sometimes, the boys and me need peace. And I am pleased to announce, that when ve return, I will be bringing some books on humans for you. Because I know how you vould like to learn about our culture and vhat not. Until then, you vill just have to wait.
Sincerely, Medic.

"Eureka!" Said Twilight. She couldn't believe she would soon be learning about REAL Humans!

Derpy then stopped by Sugarcube Corner. She stepped inside the sweets shop, she knew who she had to look for here.

"Pinkie Piiiieeee, are you there?" Derpy started looking around the shop. "I have something for yooooouuuuu....."

Suddenly, a giant cake close to her exploded! And who would be inside of it, then Ponyville's most random citizen.

Derpy screamed, and then flew out of the door as fast as she could.

"Wait! Derpy, it's me!" Said Pinkie. She then looked in the mirror, and realized why she had flew away without even saying goodbye.

"Oooohhhhhhh...I look like an evil cake monster! RAAAAWWWWRRRR, I am Cake-mare......My icing will clog your arteries!" Pinkie giggled. "I really crack myself up! I mean, who is more funnier then me? Apparently, Derpy didn't like my joke." Pinkie frowned, and then quickly smiled again.

"Oh well! Hmmm....What's this?" She gasped. "A LETTER FROM SCOUT! COOL, COOL, COOLIO!" Pinkie then began to bounce around the shop, and the sugar didn't slow her down one bit. She bounced off the sides, on the ceiling, on the customer's heads, and all over the treats that had been prepared for orders.

As the customers ran away in fear of this cuckoo pony, all Pinkie could do was laugh. "I guess they couldn't.....Take the cake!" Then, she quickly ran over and played the joke-drum sound on the random drums she hides all over town. Ya know, for: EMERGENCY PURPOSES. "That ones good, I should really try to remember that one!" Said Pinkie, as she began to read Scout's letter.

Dear oh Pink one.....
Looks like today ain't ya day, Pancakes! And then, a random white liquid sprayed Pinkie in the face. Thinking it was icing, Pinkie quickly licked it all of. She would soon figure out, that was a retarded idea!

"What the? This doesn't taste like ici-" And then......She realized what it was.....She rushed over to the trashcan, and did what any sane person would do.....
She threw up.

Pinkie now had a very ticked off expression on her face. "That was NOT funny...." And then, slowly but surely. Pinkie began to giggle, and then giggle some more, all up until the point where she laughed so hard her mane became ruffled. She wiped the tears out of her, and said "Okay, it WAS pretty funny!" She then laughed some more, and then got the same disappointed expression on her face. "But it was NOT tasty!"

Derpy then arrived at Fluttershy's cottage. She only hoped that the shy pony wouldn't cower in fear like she had moments ago at the Cakes' bake shop. What the hell WAS that thing?! She didn't want to know.....

Derpy knocked on the door ever so gently. "Wh-Whose there?" Said a quiet voice from inside.

"It's me, Fluttershy. Derpy." Said Derpy.

"Ar-Are you sure?"

"Why would I lie about that, Fluttershy?" She giggled. Her shyness was adorable.

And then, slowly, the door was opened, and inside stood Fluttershy. With Angel on her head.

"Oh, you were right....It IS you, Derpy." Derpy nodded.

"I just wanted to deliver your mail to you. It's from Heavy." Fluttershy smiled. She had been hoping to hear from the big guy.

"Oh, well......Yes....Thank you." Fluttershy took the letter and then slammed the door. Derpy then shrugged, and took off again.

"Well, Angel...." Said Fluttershy. "Let's see what our big BLU friend has to tell us." She then began to read Heavy's letter.

Dear Fluttershy,
Hello, little shy Pony....Heavy wanted to talk to you. Is a bit weird to be back here at my original Job, putting thousands of bullets from Sasha into thousands of other tiny baby RED's. I was used to Ponyville. So much happiness and Peace. Heavy look big and rough, but even Heavy like peace from killing sometimes. Which is why, Heavy be back in Ponyville soon. But, if you, or pretty marshmallow pony, or silly eyes pony, or peptobismol pony, or crayola crayon pony, or lavender pony, or even cereal brand pony need Heavy before Heavy is ready to come, I will come anyway, and save all you cute little things. Also, sorry about crumbs on paper. Sandvich is to blame for such mess.....
Da, this is Heavy, by the way.

All Fluttershy could do was smile. "Well, I do need protection sometimes...."

Derpy then flew to Sweet Apple Acres, the first thing she saw was Applejack. And what else would she be doing but working.

"Hi, Applejack." Said Derpy.

"Howdy, pardner. I see ya got some mail there."

"Yeah, it's from Team BLU." Applejack's eyes widened. She forgot that today was the day BLU wrote to everyone. She hoped that Demoman was the one who had written to her. Without even thinking, Applejack blurted out "Is it from Demoman?!"

Derpy giggled, and nodded. "Your secret is safe with me, Applejack..." And with that, Derpy flew off.

"And just what in the HAY does that mean?" Applejack then began to read the letter.
Dear Applejack,

Good day to ye, lassie. Can't believe it's already been a week since we all left Ponyville. Coming back to a place we had known for years was almost....Refreshing. BLU and RED have, pretty much, called a Truce. We play for fun now, not to gain revenge in any way. Besides, how can ye hope to exact revenge, when everytime someone dies, they come back to life 20 seconds later? It's crazy at most time, Applejack. I miss you and everyone else, and when we come back, I've spent quite a bit of time making some of me homemade fireworks. And when we get there, I'm going to set them off! Yes, this drunk knows how to have fun.
Your lass, Demoman.

Applejack smiled, as Big Mac curiously asked: "That from Demoman?"

And all Applejack could say to that, with a smile of course, was: ".........Eeeeyup."

Derpy went to Zecora's hut, but she was not there. So she just left Spy's letter to her close to the door.

Trixie was not in town, so she decided she would put her letter in the "Re-Mail later Box". Instead, she headed out to the last place she needed to go, Carousel Boutique. She knocked on the door, but little did she know, Rarity was waiting by the door the whole time. As soon as the knock was heard, Rarity opened up the door fast, startling Derpy.

"Oooohhhh! Derpy!" Said Ponyville's fashioneista. "All you all right, darling?"

"Yeah, I'm oka-"

"OOOOOHHHH! What is it you've got THERE?" Interrupted Rarity. Rummaging through the mail sack.

"Uuuuummmm....Mail?"

"Well, where is MY letter? SURELY I was written too." Rarity would be PISSED if she didn't have that letter in her hoof within 5 seconds.

"Uuuummm.....It's in your Mane....."

Then, Rarity shook her Mane, and Engineer's letter fell to the ground. Rarity blushed, embarrassed.

"Sorry about that," Rarity said apologetically. "I've just been, waiting for this letter."

Derpy giggled. "I can tell." Rarity chuckled nervously.

"I have to go!" Rarity used her Magic to levitate the letter inside, and quickly slammed the door.

"Wow....She must of REALLY wanted to read that letter." Derpy giggled. "I can't blame her, I can't wait to read mine!" She then dashed off home Quickly, wanting to know what Soldier had written to her.

Inside Carousel Boutique, everything was a MESS! The mannequins were lying on the floor, some of them with their head's knocked off. No new dresses could be found, as Rarity hadn't made ANY since Engineer left. All the old clothes Rarity used as look-at's had been torn to shreds.

"Oh my..." Said Rarity. "Seems as though I may have gotten, a bit carried away with my impatience." Rarity chuckled. "But, it was worth it! This letter was worth it!" She then began to read.

Dear Miss Rarity,
Howdy, Darlin'? First of all, I must thank you kindly, for Gem Sentry. She's a beaut, and she NEVER let's me down in the heat of battle. Rarity cringed. She didn't like the thought off her gems being used to KILL people!
Secondly, I'm pleased to announce that we will be visiting Ponyville soon. While there, we really had grown to value what we gained there. Other than my, er, "Working Buddies", I hadn't had any friends for a LONG time. And once I got to Ponyville, I had gained an undeniable amount ah friends! But, my most treasured Ponyville pal, is you, Miss. Ah wish you luck in your new designs, and ah agree with you...Gems really do make everything better!
Sincerely, Dell.
P.S.: There's a little somethin' for you inside the envelope.

"Hmm?" Said Rarity, she looked inside the envelope again, and found a Picture. Rarity gasped. It was a picture of Engineer in HUMAN form! None of the Ponies in Ponyville had EVER seen an actual human before! It was obviously Engineer, from the hard-hat on head, to wrench in hand, this was the Engineer Rarity had grown to love.

"Oh, Dell...." Rarity smiled like she had never smiled before. She hugged the picture. She thought Dell was just as handsome, if not more handsome, as a Human.
"This is a very special picture....It deserves a VERY special casing." Rarity then used her Magic, to summon to her, the most BEAUTIFUL of picture frames. It was made entirely of Gems! Rarity placed the photo inside of it.

"Now, where to put this? A special picture such as this, deserves a special place in my Home!" Smiled Rarity. She then gasped. "That's PERFECT! She set the frame right by her bedside, that way, Engineer was the last thing she saw before she went to sleep, and the first thing she saw when she woke up.
"There! Oh my...." Rarity took a look around Carousel Boutique, it looked like Applejack's pig pen.

"I REALLY should give this place some TLC. But first....Maybe a little beauty nap.....I'm just worn out beyond belief!" Before Rarity hit the hay, she looked at the picture of Engineer one last time, and gleamed with happiness. "Oooohhh, Dell.....I cannot WAIT to see you again....." And with that, Rarity drifted off into her slumber.
