Derpy's Farewell

by chainsawpony

Chapter 1

"I'm sorry...." Derpy said to herself. It had been a while since she had talked to anypony. She was forced to leave the show. And being forced to leave really broke her heart. She got her chance to actually be a real character of the show, with real lines. Because some human beings thought it was offensive that she was "mentally retarded", they wanted her to get removed from the show. Somepony replaced her. A pony who wasn’t “derpy”, that wasn’t crossed-eyed or anything like that. Derpy was literally kicked out of Ponyville.

She walked in the dark forest, all alone.

She thought of all the good times she had in Ponyville. She wondered silently if she’d ever be let back. Tears began to well up in her eyes. Derpy hadn't done anything wrong at all, from what she could remember. Even when she messed up, she had been only trying to help.

Her hooves ached from walking for so long. No idea of where to actually go. Even if it was some days ago since she got kicked out, she still thought of all the ponies she would never meet again, the mail she would never get to deliver again, the joy of flying with the other ponies, and all the other little bits of daily life she would never have a chance to savor once more. She thought of all these things, over and over again.

"It's not my fault my eyes are like this.." She began. "It's not my fault that I mess up.. or the way I am.." Derpy didn't know where she actually belonged anymore. How could anypony treat her like this? After a bit of more walking, a new environment appeared. Everything looked so different. So much details. Derpy got worried. The environment in her world disappeared. Once the detailed world was surrounding her, she looked back.

No way back. Derpy turned around.

"What?..." She said. Now, she couldn't go back. Ever.

Now she really could see that she couldn’t return home. Derpy Hooves couldn't return to Ponyville, to see her friends or family ever again. "Am I even alive?" She asked herself. Then the sun came out from behind the clouds, and shined down on her. The area she was in was not that warm, but there were trees, grass, earth, a sun and clouds. Even if it wasn’t the same sun, it looked very much like the sun from Equestria. Pretty much like everything in Ponyville, just with tons of details. There was a lot of shading, more colours, and shapes. But the grass wasn't green here. It was a darker colour than green. A grayish colour, more like rotten grass. The trees didn't have leaves either. Derpy looked around her. Where exactly was she? After a while of thinking, Derpy decided to get a view from above. Her wings started flap, and Derpy lifted from the ground.

She flew all across the strange new world, and it was bigger than she ever could imagine. All thoughts of Ponyville were now gone, for once. Derpy flew and flew, until she spotted houses. A grin spread across her face.

"Other ponies?!" A sudden burst of hope rose up inside her, and she flew faster, but stopped after a while and landed. "What if these ponies don’t like me either? What if they have heard of all the rumors about me?" Derpy said and looked around her once again. She stood on a meadow of rotten grass. She felt so alive. The wind blew her in the face. She was quiet for a while.

There was a meadow in front of her, and then there were houses beyond it.
Suddenly, she could hear a humming sound. A red big loud monster drove nearby the houses. Derpy got scared and stepped back a few paces, staring at the red monster. When it had went by, she noticed that there were a lot of them next to the houses. But they didn't move.
She laid down. Spotting no life around there anyway. After a lot of thinking of where to go from here, she fell asleep.

The morning had arrived in the unknown land. Derpy woke up and yawned. It was cold, colder than ever! Derpy flew up once again and got enough courage to look at the houses again. She spotted another forest, and flew down to it and hid behind a tree.

She watched the houses and studied them for a while. Nopony was there, she thought. Then she heard a door open. A two-legged thing walked out from the house and started walking away from the direction Derpy came from. Derpy got curious. Even if that wasn't a pony, what was it? It only had two legs to walk on. It had a small head, and long legs.

The first urge that popped up in Derpy’s head was to satisfy her curiosity, to talk to it. She wanted to greet that creature, but was too shy, so she stayed in her spot. She hid under the earth and bushes that were nearby. It helped her stay a little warm.

"Maybe that creature will come back?" Derpy wondered.

Come back.. the thoughts of Ponyville ruined her happy sense. Derpy shaked her head. If she wasn't turning back, why even think about it? This was a grand new place after all to start a new life in. She couldn't be bothered by the past, just keep moving forward. She tried to push down that sad feeling, thinking that Ponyville wasn't something more than a careless village with nasty ponies, but she couldn't. There was just too many beautiful memories. But on the other side, they didn't even want her there anyway. So what would be the point? Derpy sighed. She had nowhere to go.

Suddenly, Derpy Hooves came back from all of her thoughts. Another of these weird looking creatures went by on the road in front of her. It had a black long-haired dog. They walked together past her, without seeing her, into the woods on a path further away.

"So.. they have dogs too? Perhaps I actually can fit in here." Derpy said and studied the area once again.

Yet another Derpy tribute...this is excellent. Listen, I have a way to save Derpy. On my blog is a theory of mine regarding Derpys change. It tells how she was wronged, how one can show their support to get her back, explains why this is important and holds evidence and logic that further supports the theory. Give it a read, and should you agree, help spread the word. if any questions, concerns, or doubts arise in your mind, seek me out, for I can clear them up. We can get Derpy back, but only if we act together, I mean, we got her in canonship, we can rescue her from the wrongdoers. Give my theory a read, spread the words to all should you agree, and let us restore Derpy to her former glory. It is steadily rising in supporters and efforts are being made to increase the attention, for if we are seen, we can show that we still want her back. Like I said, give the theory a read, seek me out if any of the above conundrums occur, and let's save Derpy! Thank you.

359533 seemed fitting at the time. Saw the word 'theory' and ran with it.

359537Ah...because "conspiracy" and "theory" are like an old married couple: they sound right for each other, but lose their charm once you dig deeper into it...I guess it's hard to hear or see "theory" without thinking "conspiracy"...strange organ the brain is...can't think "theory" without "conspiracy" like it can't think peanut butter without jelly...or banana without apple...or lettace without tomato...or soup without crackers...I'm gonna stop before I get caught up in this...
