//------------------------------// // the lesson in friendship, and the 2 princesses // Story: Derpy`s full potential // by pvtread //------------------------------// After the show Princesses Luna, and Celestia who already knew all about this and were watching from a ways away both gave their applause and took off for Canterlot Castle. Luna looked at her sister with tears in her eyes ''sister'' “Yes Luna” Celestia asked. “I am sad at what just happened is this a good thing” Celestia looked at her sister with tears in her eyes as well, and they had to land in order to embrace each other. “Yes Luna it is normal we have witnessed the true meaning of friendship and loyalty today dear sister. Now we have to get back to the castle we both should be expecting some mail” Luna looked at her sister inquisitively and asked “what do you mean we” “That’s right Luna part of my deal with Dash with me not showing up or making an appearance was that the pony folk would send both of us letters explaining what they had learned. I figured it would be a good idea for you to start having a bit more of a role in the castle and not just have you locked in your room all the time. I know you’re not used to things right now what with having been on the moon for 1,000 years and I want to start making up for that” Luna simply hugged her sister and said “thank you sister” With that they both took off headed for Canterlot and the expected mail. Later that night as the ponies in Ponyville were all getting ready for bed 7 ponies were busy writing letters to Princesses Celestia, and Luna. THE LESSON IN FRIENDSHIP, TWILIGHT'S LETTER Dear Princess Celestia today I learned a valuable lesson in friendship. Not just friendship but life in general. It doesn’t matter whether or not your different from every pony in Equestria, what matters is that as long as you have friends who will always stick by your side you will never really ever be alone in this life. I saw this today when Rainbow Dash took Derpy Hooves flying with her. I got to see true loyalty at its finest. I also got to witness a rare and wonderful sight a pony that already had her cutie mark get something far more valuable. I saw a Bubble Blast today; it came from none other than Derpy Hooves our well known and loved mail mare, cross eyed and all. A strange thing happened after the Bubble Blast though, her eyes went straight, and it wasn’t getting her cutie mark that made her realize her true place in life, but having her eyes straighten out. She was a bit shocked at first but as soon as she got used to it she went around hugging every pony. Anyways I digress as I sometimes do. The lesson was that even though different and cross eyed, derpy was able to still be who she was, loved and cared about by quite a few. Those that didn’t like her were the ones who learned the lesson today. Never judge a pony for her looks or the way she is on the outside, even though one may have a cutie mark it doesn’t mean they have reached their full potential in life. Sometimes it takes the love of close friends and a bit of persuasion to leave ones comfort zone to actually reach your full potential in life. When you do you may find you gain more than just a cutie mark, You may learn the reason you were given the life and experiences you have been through was so you could one day overcome them all. YOUR FAITHFUL STUDENT, TWILIGHT SPARKLE. The rest of the main 6 and Derpy wrote the 2 princesses their own letters as well. Even Dinky wrote one which she shared with her class the next day. The Bubble Blast would go down in history as the day Derpy Hooves finally got everything she had always wanted. Yes she was made fun of for different things here and there, but with everything Dash had taught her she would just let it roll off her back. She and Dash spent days together often times. When Dash had nothing to do she would just simply fly, enjoying each other’s company and the air flowing through their manes. It wasn’t a few days later that the bolts came back to Ponyville to check in on their newest members and see how they were doing, and of course the ponies of Ponyville got another free show. What could they say they enjoyed seeing every pony happy, and it made them all feel great inside knowing that they could do it. The 2 princesses also had learned something that day as well. They had learned that yes even though they were different and had basically nothing in common they were still sisters and that would never change. As time went on Luna would get used to having more of a role in the castle and she enjoyed it. She would often come to Ponyville to visit all the ponies and they actually weren’t afraid of her. In fact she would often times sneak off with Dash and Derpy for some alone time and to simply enjoy the freedom of carefree flight. They would race, barrel roll, and they would loop all for the pure enjoyment of being free, Rainbow Dash doing her Sonic Rain Boom and, Derpy doing the Bubble Blast. They would also occasionally go on tour with the bolts as guests both of the princesses, and of the bolts, they would travel all throughout Equestria putting on shows for all. As it turned out Pinkie was actually quite good at handling the twins along with Dinky. She thought at first that she wouldn’t be able to do so, but she learned how to set aside time for all she had to do. Derpy stayed with the mail service of Ponyville, and due to her not being cross eyed anymore was now able to fly making it easier to deliver mail to the ponies of Equestria. She always told her daughter at the end of every day that she could be anything she set her heart and mind to, and was capable of doing anything as long as she had faith and a dream. This drove Dinky to strive hard and become just like her mother. THE END.
