//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Thoughts // Story: Derpy's last chance // by marineproductions100 //------------------------------// Derpy's last chance Chapter 1: Thoughts Two Alicorns stare into a globe. One of the Alicorns has a white coat and a yellow mane with a cutiemark of life. The other Alicorn has a black coat and a green mane with the cutiemark of death. The white Alicorn is a mare and the black Alicorn is a stallion. The white Alicorn's name is Life. The black Alicorn's name is Death. Life looks into the globe with a sad look on her face. "She doesn't realize." Life said. "What?" Death asked. "This pegasus named Derpy Hooves. She doesn't know how much her life means to her loved ones." Life replied. "Is this pegasus suicidal?" Death asked. "Unfortunately, yes." Life replied. "You looked into the future haven't you? You wanted to know what would happen if she committed suicide didn't you?" Death asked. "Yes." Life replied. "How special is she to her loved ones?" Death asked. "Come look." Life replied. Death moved towards the globe and it showed a graveyard. Death looked at Life with a confused look on his face. "It's a graveyard." Death said. "Yes." Life said. "So they committed the same deed as well?" Death asked. "Worst." Life replied. "I don't understand." Death said. "I'll show you." Life said. Death looked closely into the globe, still dumbfounded to what his sister wanted. Derpy's home, 1:00./center] Derpy was lying on the couch sleeping with Rainbow. Rainbow opened her eyes and looked at Derpy and started grooming her mane. Derpy slowly woke up to Rainbow's grooming. She looked up at Rainbow and they kissed. "You know what I love in my life." Rainbow said. "What's that?" Derpy asked. "Waking up to you." Rainbow replied and gave Derpy another kiss. Derpy looked at the clock and noticed that it said 1:04. She looked at Rainbow and blushed. "You know we still have less than two hours until Dinky gets home." Derpy said. "What do you have in mind?" Rainbow asked. "Maybe we can horse around until Dinky gets home." Derpy replied. Rainbow giggled but understood what Derpy meant. Derpy laid back and Rainbow started to kiss her on the mouth. Derpy was lying there enjoying the flavor of her lover. But in her mind. Nothing peaceful was going on. "This maybe the last time I will enjoy your body Rainbow. I don't want you to forget how I felt before I actually kill myself." Derpy thought to herself. Rainbow then moved onto her neck. Derpy's mind turned into joy as soon as Rainbow went past her neck. She didn't think about the suicide. She just enjoyed herself with Rainbow. Somewhere in another dimension. They stared into the globe. Life started to cry and Death looked at her in confusion. "What's so bad about them making love?" Death asked. "Nothing. I read her thoughts before they started." Life replied. "So what's your point?" Death asked. "In her thoughts, she said that she wanted her lover to remember how she felt before she committed suicide." Life replied. "Which means she's planning on doing it real soon." Death said. "Yes." Life said while sobbing. "Life, I saw what would happen if she did it but that's just how it is. That's how it will be. It's sad but it's just how your side works." Death said. "Death, I feel like we both have to deal with misery. You take all the sadness from the dead and I take all the sadness from the living." Life said. "It's just how we are." Death said. "Why can't we help this one?" Life asked. Death looked at Life and couldn't come up with an answer. He sighed and looked back at the globe. "Death let's save this soul." Life said. "Why, why does this one mean so much to you?" Death asked. "Please Death. The dead can't come to me. Please do me this favor and save this soul." Life replied. "I...I." Death sighed. He looked at Life straight in the eyes. "I'll do it, for you." Death said. Life gave Death a hug and Death hugged back. Once the hug was broken Death looked at Life. "How are we going to do this If she commits suicide we'll be too late?" Death asked. "Well. I do have another solution." Life said. "Do tell." Death said. Derpy's house, bedroom, 2:40. Rainbow had her wing wrapped around Derpy. Derpy was rubbing Rainbow's soft feathers. Derpy opened up her wing and had it hanging over the bed. Derpy turned her head facing towards Rainbow's face. Rainbow was smiling and Derpy smiled back. Derpy leaned in and kissed Rainbow and then got out of bed. "I'll get Dinky this time." Derpy said. "Okay." Rainbow said. "Also i'll be working tonight at the post office and I won't be back 'till midnight again." Derpy said. "I'll keep the bed warm for us." Rainbow said. Derpy walked out of the bedroom and headed toward the front door. She walked out the front door and flew all the way to Dinky's school and waited for the bell to ring. "Hey Derpy." a voice called her. She turned around and saw Space. "Hey Space." Derpy acknowledged. "You working late tonight?" Space asked. "Yeah." Derpy replied. "Yeah me too." Space said. "Really." Derpy said. "I got the call this morning." Space said. *RING* The bell rung and Derpy payed attention to the front of the school. Dinky and Bells walked out of the school. Derpy yelled for Dinky and Dinky walked to Derpy after saying goodbye to Bells. Derpy put Dinky on her back and flew home. Once they got home Derpy walked in the house to see that Rainbow has made muffins for them. "They smell good, Rainbow. How did you get them done so fast?" Derpy asked. "I stopped by Pinkie Pie and asked for some blueberry muffins." Rainbow replied. "Well, I gotta get ready for work." Derpy said. "Okay." Rainbow said. Derpy walked upstairs and started to get ready for work. While she was getting dress she thought about how she was going to kill herself. But then she realized that Space was going to work late as well. How am I supposed to do this? Do I wait until he decides to go to the bathroom or do I just do it after work? Derpy thought to herself. She ignored the idea and started heading downstairs. She entered the living room and looked at Dinky. "I'm going to work, muffin. I'll see you tomorrow." Derpy said. "Bye mommy." Dinky said. "I love you." Derpy smiled. "I love you too, muffin." Derpy walked up to Rainbow Dash. "I love you Rainbow." Derpy said. "Love you too Derpy." Rainbow said. Derpy gave Rainbow a kiss goodbye and walked out of the house. She started heading to work. Once she arrived at the post office they were assigned to unload a big stack of crates that were filled with pipes. In another dimension. Life was staring at the globe while Death was reading books about the thoughts of an empty heart. "Death, this is it." Life said. He looked up from his book to see his sister. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Watch and find out." Life replied. Death put down his book walked over towards his sister. He stared into the globe. He looked at Life and Life's horn started to glow. he stared back into the globe and noticed that Life was trying to make the boxes fall on top of Derpy. Something went off, inside of Death's head. Now I get it. He thought to himself. He took a deep breath and said, "okay here I go." "Okay the crates are falling." Life said. Back at the post office. Derpy and Space were moving the crates until they started to tumble right on top of them. Derpy looked up and a box was falling towards her face and then everything went black. Derpy woke up and saw Death staring at her. "Where are you?" Derpy asked. "I am Death." Death replied. (This chapter has been re-styled and is in the process of being edited)
