//------------------------------// // Capter 2 // Story: Derpy's Rainboom // by Dead Lock //------------------------------// The next morning, Derpy got up, ate breakfast, and started her daily rounds. After she finished, she stopped by Carrot Top's house. "Good morning Derpy!" Carrot Top said, opening the door, "How are you?" "I have something to discuss with you." Derpy said sternly. "Alright, as long as you loosen up about it." Carrot Top said. "OK, but I need to talk to somepony about it." Derpy said. "You can always talk to me Derpy, come on in!" Derpy walked into Carrot's house and sat down. "I've decided to do a sonic rainboom." She said, after much hesitation. "No pony but Rainbow Dash has ever done that!" Carrot exclaimed. "I know, that's why I'm gonna do one. I'm gonna show Rainbow who's boss! She can't go around acting like she's better than the rest of us! We are people, too!" "I am getting tired of Rainbow, too. I like your plan. I just hope you don't hurt yourself." Carrot said, concerned for Derpy. "Well, bye!" "Bye Derpy!" Derpy left, anxious to train.

"No, I'm gonna do a sonic rain boom!" Clang! The machine made a startling sound as it hit the floor. Twilight stared open mouthed at Derpy. "H-how are you going to do that?" She stuttered. "I'm gonna train hard!" "Well I respect your perseverance Derpy, but that is far to dangerous and the only reason Rainbow Dash could was that her friend's life was on the line." "I don't care! I'm tired of her bragging! I'm gonna join the wonder bolts too!" "Big words, Derpy. Now back to what you came here for. Your wing power." "Alright!" They went outside and Twilight set up. Derpy went back far and got ready. "Ready when you are!" Called Twilight. Here it is, Derpy thought, The moment of truth. Derpy zoomed by the machine. "Wow! you got a..." To be continued.
