//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Time's Derp // by Blue Jewel //------------------------------// “Excuse me?!” Carrot Top backed away from Derpy and looked around for the familiar voice. “I said leave her alone!” Time shouted again. “Hmph! It’s you. Too bad you can’t save your stupid girlfriend here, now that because she’s given us the last piece to the death ray,"Carrot Top put her hoof to Derpy's chin and pushed it aside. "she is now useless to us.” Carrot Top looked at Henry and tilted her head towards Time, “Get rid of him.” Henry smiled and cracked his neck, “Gladly.”Derpy was struggling, trying to escape, with all of her energy. When she saw Henry walk towards Time she got mad. “Henry! I swear to Celestia, if you hurt a hair on his head, I will-" “What are going to do about it? Cry?!” Carrot Top interrupted and mocked Derpy. Derpy gave Carrot Top a cold stare, then she looked for Time, who was about to throw the first punch. Henry saw this coming and blocked it. Derpy gasped, Henry then punched Time on the side, knocking the air out of him. Henry smiled at his accomplishment and was also distracted by it, taking advantage of it; Time kicked Henry in the stomach, knocking him back several feet. Several punches and kicks were thrown until Henry finally knocked Time down. "No! Time!" Derpy closed her eyes letting the tears run down her face. She looked around, on the ground she found a wire, using her tail she flicked the wire towards her. She caught it with her mouth then she began picking the lock with the wire. Meanwhile, Carrot Top was laughing at Time’s defeat, until something smacked her across the face. “What the-ouch!” Derpy smacked Carrot Top with her tail; Carrot Top pushed Derpy back and walked towards Henry. “You’re too late.” Carrot Top snickered and laughed. Henry smiled at Carrot Top, grabbed the ray-gun and pointed at Derpy, “Let’s test this thing out.” Derpy just smiled at Henry when he pulled the trigger, it clicked. “What the hay!?” He began hitting it with his hoof then Carrot Top grabbed it, Henry tried to take it away from her pulling it back and forth, “No! I want to kill her!” Carrot Top pulled the trigger shooting both of them. “Uh-oh.” The both said in unison. Whoosh! They then both disappeared into thin air. Derpy turned around then saw Time who lying on the ground, bruised and bloodied; she flew over to him and began crying. “Time? Are you ok? Please tell me you are!” Derpy helped him Time sit up, he wiped some blood-saliva off his lower lip. Time coughed a few times letting out a few drops of blood, “Don’t worry Derpy I’ll be fine, just get out, go on without me, I’ll catch up with you later.” Derpy shook her head a let a tear fall, “No Time, I’m not going to let you go again, you were always there for me and now I’m going to be here for you.” Time smiled at Derpy, and began, "Derpy, I-" He was interupted. Police then began rushing in, Derpy confused, looked at Time who was smiling, “I called them whenever I began chasing Henry, I knew there was something wrong with that pony.” The police asked Derpy some questions, and after an hour or so, they let her go. Derpy went back with Time, who was wrapped around a blanket; some of the swelling of his bottom lip has stopped and began to recover. Time saw Derpy coming and took a deep breath, “Before I forget, Derpy, there is something I’ve always wanted to tell you, I love you, from the moment I first-mmph!” Time was interrupted by a kiss. When Derpy finally broke the kiss, Time was pouting. “What? I thought you would like it!” Derpy whined. “I loved it, but you didn’t let me finish, plus you still have some of Henry lips left on you.” Time scrunched up his nose and laughed, “I’m just kidding!” Derpy then laughed with him, “I’m sorry Time, that I didn’t realize this sooner, I was so caught up in Henry’s lies I didn’t notice somepony who was really important and special to me, you.” Time smiled and hugged Derpy, “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to say that.” Derpy giggled and hugged Time back, “You know, this is an unusual way to start off a relationship.” Time laughed, “Ditzy Doo! We’ve known each other since we were foals! I’m pretty sure everything about us is unusual!” Derpy hugged Time and laughed again, This time it's real, I love him Since there wasn’t an evil villain anymore, the director decided to change the movie up a bit. “Doctor Whooves and Ditzy Doo.” A faraway time traveler, who winds up in an alternate universe and begins to fall in love with the pegasus he crashes into, mixed with romance, adventure, and tragedy. For Time and Ditzy/Derpy, they grew happy together. Time proposed and Derpy (obviously) said yes, but that’s a different story. “But, this is only the beginning of a new adventure for Time Turner and Ditzy Doo.” Time closed the book, set his glasses aside and sat Dinky on his lap. “Is there more?” Dinky asked her father. “There is much more” Time kissed Dinky’s forehead and tucked her into bed, “but that’s for another time.” The End (for now)
