//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: A Mare, A Muffin, and a Time Lord // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// Seven and a half months later, Derpy gives birth to a healthy little unicorn filly whom she names Dinky. A few hours later, Fluttershy gives birth to a little chaotic earth pony filly hybrid whom she names Screwball. Derpy can't help but smile. She's so happy to be a mother. It's her dream come true, well, aside from opening a muffin shop that is. "She looks like her mommy," says Time Turner with a smile. "Yeah," replies Derpy. "We're so lucky, you know that?" "She has your eyes," adds Time Turner. "That's just genetic, I kind of expected she'd have off skew eyes," replies Derpy with a smile. Two days later, Derpy and little Dinky come home from the hospital. Once she's home, Derpy goes straight for the muffins just like she always does. Time Turner just shakes his head as he goes and puts Dinky in her crib. "If it's one thing Derpy's always thinking about, it's muffins," he sighs to himself as he places Dinky in her crib. He then sings her a little lullaby. "Imagine a galaxy far away, where ponies fix time and save the universe, a place where ponies are all scientific geniuses, a place where there's peace balanced by loss and hurt. Nothing is ever truly perfect. Don't expect it to be, unless it's the love we have for you, in that case, it's perfect as perfect can be. Unless it's the love we have for you, in that case, it's perfect as perfect can be." He then, seeing that she's asleep, leaves the room and heads off to his lab downstairs to do some research on something Pinn had asked him about the day prior. After all, he may be a father now, but he is a time lord pony first and foremost. That's one thing that will never change.
