//------------------------------// // Part 3: Discorded Derpy // Story: Mommy and Me // by Fluttrick //------------------------------// Chapter8: "Mom?" (Present Day) Dinky held the card in her mouth as she walked up to her mother's body, then sat there staring at her. Derpy's coat was darker than usual and grayer. Like that one day. Dinky thought to herself, remembering how her mother acted that one day after school. (8 Years Ago Dinky, along with the other fillies exited the school building upon hearing the bell ring, but something was strange about Ponyville as Dinky trotted on her way home. Houses and buildings alike upside down? Bunnies with long legs in stampedes, and chocolate rain? Dinky was now dumbfounded at the new scenery. Wacky Day possibly? She thought to herself until the sun vanished and the moon took it's place in a snap. "Woah, woah!" Dinky fell over, her hooves barely able to stand now due to the soapy roads. This is, this is like what Miss Cheerilee said. Confusion. Evil! CHAOS! Dinky shuddered at the thought of what happened at home, Oh No! Mom's at home! She screamed in her mind as she raced across the checkered plains of grass to her house. Luckily her house wasn't upside down. Dinky let out a sigh of relief before opening the door. "Hey mom, you there?! Hello~!" Dinky called out as she walked through the house. She entered the kitchen then took a muffin she saw laying on the dining table then finally decided to go to her mom's room. Dinky gave the door a light push and it opened slowly. Derpy, who sat on her bed, muttering angrily about something Dinky couldn't make out. Her coat was darker than usual, which frightened Dinky. "Mom?" Dinky said, then like a rocket Derpy shot off the bed and landed right in front of Dinky. "You be quiet right now Dinky Doo! Don't you see I'm stressing my ass off trying to figure something out!" Dinky fell back startled upon her mother's sudden rage. "Do you know how hard my life is? It's all goodie good for you with your little school and that whore Cheerilee!" Dinky was now quivering in fear, she had never in her life, heard her mother curse like this before, and never in front of her. "Well you know what? I'm done with you for the day!" And with that Derpy smacked the muffin out of her daughter's hooves then began to stomp violently on it. At this point Dinky was sobbing between her hooves, waiting for it to be over. "Now go to your room you little pest, no dinner for you!" Derpy shouted at the little unicorn who now trudged to her room and shut the door, then sobbing into her pillow immediately after. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter9: "What was that?!" (Present Day) Dinky sat there beside her mother's body for what seemed like an eternity until... the door in the front creaked open and from it emerged a cyan blue pegasi. It was none other than Rainbow Dash. Dinky knew her from her amazing weather duties that the mare was known for, but at the moment, the only thing Dinky payed attention to was her rainbow mane. It reminded her of that one rainbow explosion. (8 Years Ago) Dinky stared up to her cloud themed ceiling as she wallowed in a puddle of her own tears. How could this have happened? She asked herself over and over, until coming to a conclusion: nothing. Dinky felt that her life had been ruined in the blink of an eye, until there was a sudden explosion as she looked out the window. Outside, a rainbow colored ring circled Ponyville than turned into a dome of light, then everything was white. Suddenly Derpy entered the room. "What was that?!" Derpy asked out loud, her coat was back to normal, and so was her personality, Dinky seemed to notice before jumping onto her mother. "I missed you so much!" Dinky hugged her mother for what seemed like forever until Derpy said, "I didn't mean any of those mean things I said before. It was, I, ..." Derpy was silenced as her daughter placed her hoof upon Derpy's lips. "It's okay mom, I forgive you!" And with that, the two went back to their normal lives until they were called upon for a celebration at the Canterlot Castle. "Hmm, I wonder what it's for." Dinky said while they sat in the train sticking their heads out of the window then arriving shortly at the train station in Canterlot. Together they gazed at the fancy buildings, so different from Ponyville, then finally making it in time for the celebration, where six mares walked along a red carpet to Princess Celestia herself. The two looked at each other before continuing the celebration, everything just peachy.
