Chapter1: "I Love You Mom"
Silence was the only essence in the house as the two looked into each other's eyes... sort of. Derpy, whom now lay on her death bed began to speak in a ragged voice, "Dinky," She coughed roughly after.
"No mom, save your energy. Your gonna liv-" Dinky pleaded until she was cut off by her mother.
"Dinky Doo, we both know that's not true, not even a miracle could change that," Dinky sobbed quietly into her mother's arms. "But to have found you, and raised you as my own as a mother was perhaps a miracle itself."Derpy grinned to her daughter and examined her for probably the last time. She was on the brink of going from fillyhood to marehood.
"But it's not fair!" Dinky cried to her mother as Derpy stroked her mane.
"Dinky, now I have learned more than anypony that life isn't fair. How do you think I felt when everypony made fun of me and my eye problems?" Dinky nodded in understanding. "Now Dinky, you're almost a full grown mare and promise me, that you,"Derpy placed her hoof on Dinky's chest."Will go on when I'm gone, promise me." Derpy did her best to eye daughter, but as always her eyes drifted off.
"I promise mom." Dinky replied as she wiped her tears away. "I just wish, you could have seen me grow up to be a strong responsible mare like you." Dinky mumbled.
"But you already are, you've got plenty of friends and an amazing education. Trust me Dinky, you'll be an even better mare than I ever was because..." Derpy huffed as her eyes began to flutter shut. "You're my daughter." She finished as her eyes closed shut.
"I love you mom." Were the last few words Derpy heard before the world around her darkened and the image of her daughter faded away.

Chapter2: "Dinky Doo"
Dinky looked to her mother one last time before shutting her eyes and thinking back to the day when Derpy had found her and so on from that special event.
(15 Years Ago)
Knock!Knock!Knock!
"Coming!" Derpy called out as she rested the muffin filled tray upon her dining room table. Muffins had been the only thing that kept her from her sorrows of being bullied by other pegasi and earth ponies alike. Laughing at how she had cross eyes and couldn't fly right. Derpy let out a sigh before pushing the wooden door open. Nopony was there. "Oh well", She thought to herself before beginning her way back to the muffin baking at hand before she heard a light cry. She turned very slowly to the door she'd mistakenly left open. There before her was a little basket carrying... a sleeping foal unicorn. Derpy could tell it was a she already. The foal's mane was yellowish-tan, Like Mine?, she thought to herself and so was the foals coat. A lightish-gray color. Might as well be my daugter- She chuckled to herself before her eyes suddenly widened at the realization of her new responsibility.
"I have a dau...daughter." Derpy muttered quietly. Then it turned into a scream of pure delight. "I HAVE A DAUGHTER!" Apparently this sudden outburst awoke the sleeping foal who now looked to Derpy. "I'll call you," She thought for a moment. Derpy's real name was Ditzy Doo, "So I'll call you, Dinky Doo!" The foal smiled with delight upon hearing this name.
"Dinky Doo." The little foal blathered. Dawww! Derpy cooed in her mind.
"And I'm Mommy." Derpy placed her hoof on herself. Once again Dinky began.
"Mommy? Mo~mmy. Mommy." Dinky giggled upon learning of this new word. After a minute or two Dinky dozed off to sleep as Derpy took in a breathe, then smelled her muffins. She looked from the dining room, where her hot crispy muffins await her, then looking to Dinky, who was snuggled comfortably in her basket. Family First! Derpy chimed in her head as she picked up the basket Dinky was in very carefully up to her room.

Chapter3: "Want a muffin?"
(Present Day)
Dinky slowly walked around the house looking to the dining room table which drew her attention from the light that illuminated the room. There on the table was one muffin with a large candle in the middle. Dinky slowly walked up to it while remembering the first muffin she ate, the one made by her mother.
(14 Years Ago)
"Come on Dinky it's time to get up." Derpy cooed to her daughter who lay in her miniature bed. "Guess what day it is?" She continued as Dinky rubbed her eyes groggily.
"Um..." Dinky muttered quietly, not knowing what her mother was talking about before Derpy cheered.
"It's your birthday!" This surprise made Dinky jump into the air while screaming "Yay~!"
"Now let's go downstairs Dinky, I have a surprise for you." Derpy whispered into her daughter's ear. So Derpy scooped up the little unicorn then trotted on down to the kitchen. As soon as they reached the table Derpy placed her daughter into a chair and then pulled out something out from oven.
"Hey Dinky," Derpy began cheerfully.
"Yes mom?" Dinky replied, swelling with anticipation.
"Want a muffin?" Derpy asked as she turned to Dinky holding out one large, warm, crispy muffin in her hoof.
"YES!" Dinky screeched as she reached for the muffin then grabbing it from her mother's hoof then nibbling on the gigantic morsel. Derpy let out a burst of laughter before leaning over to Dinky.
"Happy Birthday Dinky Doo." Derpy said one last time before ruffling the Dinky's mane and taking out a muffin for herself as they both spent the rest of their breakfast in a muffin filled bliss.

Chapter4: "How was school Dinky?
(Present Day)
Dinky blew out the candle on top of the muffin then pulled it off. She began nibbling at it as she had done when she was just a one year old foal until she noticed card on it. It had the picture of their house, Dinky, her mother, Ponyville and the school with the little fillies around it. She began to stare at the school picture, thinking of her fillyhood when she went to school and was asked that one question by the filly with the diamond tiara.
10 Years Ago
"How can you be a unicorn while your so called mom is a pegasus? Huh?" Diamond Tiara questioned mockingly shortly after school, while Dinky pondered on the thought, not liking where this was going. "Unless, she's not truly your-" At this point Dinky set off in a gallop to her home to ask her mom for herself, unable to bear how Diamond Tiara would finish. Dinky slowly opened the door to the house.
"Mom, you there?" She called out, to be greeted by Derpy who poked her head out of the kitchen.
"Hey Dinky! How was school?" Derpy asked, and Dinky replied happily at first.
"It was great! Miss Cheerilee was talking about Family Appreciation Day and then she asked me if you can come in for that. So can you!?" Dinky pleaded, looking into the eyes of her mother.
"Of course I can! Now let's go have some muffins!" Derpy exclaimed as she marched to the kitchen, until Dinky pulled on her tail then said.
"One last thing."
"Yes Dinky Doo?" Derpy replied.
"After school, Diamond Tiara asked how I am a unicorn and your a pegasus and how we're mother and daughter." Dinky explained. Derpy, who now stood frozen in place.How could I have forgotten to tell her when she was younger!? She screamed in her mind then let out a sigh.
"Dinky, I need to tell you the truth." Now it was Dinky's turn to be frozen in place. Her ears wide open, ready to listen to what her mother had to say, but her heart, completely unprepared. "I am not your mother by birth, I found you one day by the doorway then raised you as my own. But-" Dinky cut her off.
"No," She spoke loud and clear, tears streaming from her eyes. "NO! You're not my real mother, and you never were!" Dinky screamed at her mother for the first time then galloped out the door, leaving dirt in her wake as well as the broken heart of her mother.
