//------------------------------// // Prologue: Derplandia, 20020 A.D. // Story: Scootafiction // by LOL3evee //------------------------------// A lone pony stood in the midst of the ruins of what was once the hidden Equestrian City of Derplandia. The Derp Castle was in ruins, (as was the rest of the town) with only a few buildings left standing. Those buildings that had survived, however, were still broken up and cracked in several places. Dust flew in the wind, and nopony was around anymore. The mare began to walk past the rubble. Equestria had gone through its Apocalypse, and there were only a few ponies left alive. The Princesses Celestia and Luna were dead, and as for the ruler of this hidden city, well, nopony knew what had happened to the Derp Queen. Nopony was there to raise the sun and the moon anymore; the princesses of the night and day had died at the same time while Celestia was raising the sun. Equestria was forever trapped in a world of between morning and night. The pony walked into the Grand Derpling Hall, where the Great Library of Derp resided; somehow intact. The only building to have survived without a scratch. The hooded mare trotted into the empty hall, surrounded by the books from Equestria's past. She walked past shelves and shelves of books, not seeming to notice any of them until she came upon a certain shelf. She scanned the many book's bindings until she found a single copy. It was a dusty old tome with a picture of an orange pegasus filly on the front. A sky-blue glow came out from under from the strange mare's hood, illuminating the dim room and enveloping the book, lifting it up. (The pony appears to be a unicorn.) She carries the book over to one of the old wooden library tables, where she sits down and opens up the book. She then begins to read the story of Scootaloo, who was once Equestria's most famous pony.
