The spell didn’t lie. How could it? It was reliable, normal, perfectly accurate.
Derpy was pregnant. And she wasn’t supposed to be. After all, she was a single mare, pretty much kept to herself, didn’t date and was, if anything, married to her job and calling.
But that didn’t mean she didn’t have desires. She was, after all, a grown mare. And a grown mare in love, truth be told. And that love had just backfired in the most stupendous way possible.
She looked at the crystal she’d purchased for…for a “friend”, she lied to the doctor when she asked for a pregnancy test spell. The doctor, firm in the belief that Derpy was telling the truth and the fact that Derpy was single – after all, who would date the town klutz? – gave it over without question. After all, she and the doctor had talked plenty of times about Derpy’s past, so it was pretty clear who the friend probably was – that was just another “fact of life” no different than Derpy never needing it for herself.
After all, it was so much easier to believe that Derpy’s twin, Ditzy Doo, had forced the older sister to do so. After all, everyone who knew the Hooves sisters knew that Ditzy had been the one with the looks if not the brains, and as a result used those looks for her own devices, lifting her tail so much that she may as well not have one. It caused no end of pain to Ditzy’s husband or her family, and frankly, the younger twin didn’t care.
How brutal was the truth, then: Derpy, freed of her constraints and letting her heart run free, was no better. Had she been born with normal eyes, would she be the pony her sister was? Had Ditzy the strabismus that had made Derpy so ungainly and ugly, would she have been the better mare? Would it be Derpy sleeping around and cheating on her husband while Ditzy watched from afar, nurturing a secret love until it exploded at the worst possible time?
And yet…
Derpy’s thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. Feeling dizzy and filled with self-loathing, she went to go answer the door, only to find herself staring at the face she least wanted to see.
“So, big sister,” Ditzy Doo said, “are you going to let me in, or should I just go through you?” The look on Ditzy’s face was angry, sullen. Did she find out?
“S-so…what’re you doing here?” Derpy asked.
Ditzy’s perfectly matched eyes narrowed. “Wouldn’t you like to know?” she seethed.
Rarity may be worst pony in this series, but Ditzy Doo will be a serious rival.
An interesting take on Derpy.
The plot, it thickens! . . . Well, OK, thickened. Past tense. This is practically a historical drama at this point. Still, should be . . . Interesting.
Say, have you ever thought of getting some vids for the AAG series? If so, might I recommend that they be rendered in the same way as a stereotypical Latin telenovel? . . . That's not meant to be a slight or an insult either, I'm being dead serious. I swear, I would have absolutely no idea what anyone was saying, but I would be glued to my screen all the same watching all the drama unfold. In fact, because I would have no idea what they were saying I'd be glued to the screen. It's much the same reason why I prefer to watch Kim Possible in German with no subtitles . . . what?

On a serious note, I've thought about it, but unless there are dozens of people wanting to spend time on trying to figure out how to render the characters, as well as the other details, I'm not sure how it would work. Hell, the humans alone - unless we saw something remotely humanoid in the show (the minotaur is the closest so far, but even still off), I'm not sure what style they'd be in.

The Dan Vs. vectors look similar to FiM's, at least enough to be a base, anyways. Oh, and the next Arc looks great, btw.
