''Oh no. What am I supposed to do? Only if Derpy was here.''

This mission was very hard without her. Hooves ran back to the house. The ghost appeared again. 
The shadowy figure looked like he ruin his life on purpose. I lost my wife, and now my dignity. 

''What are you waiting for? A simple knock will do.'' said the ghost,,'' Well, go on.''

Hooves felt like that was the only thing to do. He reached at the door and then. . . . . A knife stuck through the door. It struck him in his hoof and his throat. He fell right back on his head, too. It felt like the world was nonexistent. Only the thick black smoke was what he was aware of. 

''Ughh. Why are you-'' 

Before he knew it, his eyes shut. All 5 senses were gone. 

Back in Derpy's house, Dinky was drawing a picture of her daddy. Tears shredded from her eyes. 
As she got up to show Derpy the picture, noises came from the windows. Dinky opened up the blinds. 
The sky was flaming red.  Lightning shot her. She  into the ran into the living room in fright alerting mother.

''Mom! I saw an explosion happen outside of my windows! I don't think Daddy Hooves is alright!''

Derpy quickly opened the door to find her ex-husband dead on the ground. She ran out and sat downoto him. She looked his body and saw his Sonic Screwdriver.  It was covered in blood.  Derpy picked it up.
She began to cry and then said: ''Why would I leave you alone? I should be able to help you.''

Holding the screwdriver, she leaned down and gave him a passionate kiss. Out of nowhere, a blue electric shock blasted across the land. It blew out the fires like they were never there before. The sky was blue again. The ghost was gone.

''Um, doctor? It's Colgate.  You've accomplished your mission . And someone else needs you, too.''

A gray pony with a blond mane peeked from behind Colgate. She was looking at Dr. Hooves.  He was actually alive this time.

''Derp-''

Before he could finish his sentence, Derpy kissed him on the lips more than ever before.

Even if you work alone, people will always offer to help. And sometimes saying yes to help,
is better than saying no to struggle. Which will you choose?
