//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 My Parent's Debt // Story: Derpy // by Shadowblade93 //------------------------------// My parents conversation from all those years ago came flooding back when I was going through their stuff in father's study; I found a contract saying that he had borrowed money from a pony in Las Pegasus. If the debt wasn't paid by set time the house and all that was in it was to be used to pay off the debt.  The pony was none other than Filthy Rich! The date that the debt was to be paid was........"Sweet Celestia"...........today! I asked my parents where the bits were tht they saved to pay off the debt. The answer horrified me, it was paying the med bills for my father's newly discovered cancer. As we sat trying to figure something out Filthy Rich showed up with police and an eviction notice. The grief was too much for my folks.........my father had lived in tht house since he was a colt; my parents had that house since they were married, buck I was born in that house  Filthy Rich also piled a massive compound interest in fine print that my parents didn't read. Their grief killed em. With me having to fend for myself now young no fancy degree my job pool was small. I ended up in ponyville at the post office.
