//------------------------------// // I'll Love You Foreva // Story: Derpy's Bed Time Stories // by Derpy Fan 4eva //------------------------------// I'll Love You Foreva written by Derpy Fan 4eva adapted from Love You Forever by Robert Munsch ~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Derpy Hooves slowly trotted up to her front door, carrying her little bundle of joy on her back. Sparkler trotted just behind them, swaying groggily as if she had been into her mother's secret stash of cider. All three of them had had a long day at the county fair today and all party members were tired. Derpy fix a quick light dinner which they ate in near scilence, made sure both of her fillys were bathed and tucked Dinky into bed. The poor child was too worn out even for a bed time story and was snoozing before Derpy could drape Favorite over her. After kissing her youngest goodnight, she helped lead Sparkler to her bed, who and dozed slightly against the wall. The two mares walked into Sparkler's new room. After Sparkler had graduated from Cheerilee's school, she decided she wanted her own room, since she was an adult now. And as much as it broke her heart, Sparkler was right. Derpy's little filly was almost all grown up and would soon be moving out to live her own life and start her own family. But for now, her baby was still here, so Derpy was going to take advantage of every year, month, week, hour, and minute she could with her eldest daughter. "Good night Sparkler. Pleasant dreams." "Mom?" Derpy paused in the door frame, her right eye staring at her daughter. Her left eye... well, when it acted up, she couldn't see out of it anyways, so she could never be sure where it was looking. "Umm... I was wondering... I mean, I know I'm almost an adult now, but could you-could you read me a bedtime story please?" Derpy's heart ached with love for her child. "Of course baby. Which you did you want tonight?" "Do you still have our special one?" Derpy almost started crying. She nodded and quickly went over and grabbed the book. "Okay baby. Our favorite story. And even now, the title is true my dear Sparkler." She quickly grabbed the book from Sparkler's shelf. "I'll Love you Foreva..." ~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~ There was a mother who had a new foal. A little grey pegasus filly. She picked up this filly and rocked it back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked it, she sang, "I'll love you for ever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be." Well, that baby grew. It grew and it grew and it grew. It grew until it was 2 years old. And it would run and fly all around the house. It knocked over book cases, took things off the walls, and took its mother's watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes the mother would say, "This foal is driving me crazy!" But at night time, when that two year old was asleep, she'd creak open the door, crawl across the floor, and peak up at the little foal. And if it was truly asleep, she's pick it up and rock it back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And she would sing to this two year old, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living my baby you'll be. Well, that 2 year old grew. It grew and it grew and it grew, until it was 9 years old. And it never wanted to come in for dinner. And when it did, it wouldn't eat the good food the mother made and would even track mud all over the newly washed floor. Sometimes the mother would exclaim "This filly is driving me mad!" But at night, when that 9 year old filly was asleep, the mother would creak open the door, crawl across the room, peak over the edge of the bed, and if that 9 year old was truly asleep, she'd pick it up and rock it back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and sing, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." Well, that 9 year old grew. It grew and it grew, and it grew, and it grew. It grew until it was a teenager. And that teenager had strange friends. She wore strange clothes and make-up. She listened to strange music, and she liked strange colts. It was enough to make the mother exclaim, "That foal belongs in a zoo!" But every night, when that unruly teenager was fast asleep,the mother would creak open the door, crawl across the room, peak over the edge of the bed, and if that teenager was truly asleep, she'd pick it up and rock it back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and sing, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." Well, that teenager grew. It grew and it grew and it grew until it was a young mare. And that young mare moved out of the house and moved all the way across town. But, some times on dark nights, the mother would fly all the way across town. And if the lights were all out in her daughter's house, she'd put up a ladder, peak over the window sill, crawl across the floor, and peak at her over her bed frame. And if that big young mare was truly asleep, she'd pick her up and rock her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and sing, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be." Well that mother, she got older and older and older. Until one day the daughter got a message from her mother and it said, my dearest daughter, you need to come see me. I am very old and sick And so the full grown mare hurried over to her mother's house, and when she walked in, the mother tried to sing the song, but she was too sick to sing. The daughter walked over to the mother. She picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while the daughter rocked her mother back and forth, she sang "I'll love you foreva, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living your baby I'll be." And when the daughter got home that night, it was very late. And she stayed on the stairs for a long time. And when she felt it was time, she creaked open a door, crawled across the floor, and peered into her daughter's crib. and when she was sure she was fast asleep, she picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and sang, "I'll love you foreva, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my Sparkler you'll be." ~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Derpy closed the book. A few tears dropping. She looked down at her daughter. She carefully put the book back on the shelf, then she crawled over to the bedside, and peered at her beloved filly. And when she was sure her daughter was fast asleep, she picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and sang, "I'll love you foreva, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be." She kissed her daughter as tears of joy flowed down her cheeks. She carefully trotted out and closed the door. Before she went into her own room, she looked over at an old picture of a young mare and a googly eyed little filly. "Good night mommy. Thank you for the lullaby."
