Dinky Hooves is a very unique pony. While her mother was a pegasus, her father was a being known as a Time Lord that looked like an earth pony. As a filly, she was just like a regular unicorn.

Until one day she learns first unleashes a magic like nothing almost any other pony has seen and gets her cutie mark. Once that happens, the unicorn must figure out not only how to control her powers, but find a balance in herself. Fortunately, she might just have helpful inspiration from a hero.

Dinky will make an AWESOME alicorn of time and space. this is what i believe will happen and if it doesn't i believe you will have written it that way to spite me. anyway, i'm enjoying this quite alot. very few things wrong too, just a missing or misplaced word here or there but otherwise i feet your pacing and structure have been good so far. please more.

I am rather enjoying this, please continue.:moustache:

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, Dinky!
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, Dinky!
Dinky, Dinky, Batman! I mean Dinky!

"Besides, I actually do want to hear about Canterlot. I've never been there before and Rarity mostly talks about boring things. Be nice to hear about it from my age." .... I didn't know you could hear from someones age.

This story is off to a good start. I look forward to more; keep up the good work:pinkiehappy:

Causality is over-rated Dinky! Rip reality a new one and fix this travesty!

By the way love this story.

DINKY FOR BEST PONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:pinkiehappy:

What?! It's over? But, but time travel!:fluttercry:
...Sequel?

Most likely, but not certain when. There won't be any time travel though (or at least not for a very long time). The idea is that this is her origin story and the others would be Dinky's adventures as Mare-Do-Well.

Possible sequels aside, I loved it. Whatever happened to those villains though?

3107600 I look forward to it

Same thing as villains in most superhero stories; still out there and ready to return.

I have a strange feeling Dinky will take after Doctor Whooves.

This story seemed very hollow at times, and I disliked how you would give us an idea of upcoming events, then skip right over them.
I know you said this is an origin story for Dinkys run as MMDW but this format works a lot better if you already have the MMDW story

Also, screw you for killing off Derpy, Dinky could have paused her, or figured out reverse time, or had an emotion-based magic surge, possibly with time reversing consequences.

Or at least been given a more detailed or prolonged emotion description because the 'vibe' I got from here afterwards was,
"My mum is dead. I am sad"
Next chapter (well maybe more than one later)
"I am fine now"

She could have a picture with/near her or in the room she stays at, and reflect upon it now and again.
Or have a source of motivation, a type of
'Would momma be proud of me, what would she do?'
Thing.


Aside these, it was a pretty good story, hope to read about her new adventures in...
Wait...
Where IS she going with Ruby?


Also good choice on ship, though I prefer DinkyLoo :P

Most of the things starting with also, are ment to be lighthearted comments, in case you didn't figure that out yourself.

Among them was a gray unicorn with bright yellow eyes and a blond mane and tail, Dinky Hooves.

Does this look grey to you....

Or are you colored blind.Its pink not grey.

6379104 :ajbemused: Yes. It does look grey to me. Admittedly, there is a purple tint to it, but it is still primarily gray. Which, in a roundabout way the mlp wiki about her agrees. So perhaps you are the one with the visual issue between us. Even if I did agree with you about it, I am not going to go back to a story I wrote two years ago, read through it, and change every reference to Dinky's color.

Dinky Doo is the placeholder name given to a filly unicorn seen in several episodes engaging in activities with other foals. Dinky Doo has a -pale purple coat color-, a blonde mane, and yellow eyes. Her eyes are of the standard adult mare model, rather than the filly one. She has sported many cutie marks including a pillow, an archer's bow, a horseshoe, a pair of dolphins, and sometimes no cutie mark at all. She shares her design with "Berry Pinch" and Liza Doolots.

I have proven my point. The best part is was the link you gave me.:rainbowwild:

"What if I don't want to go?" Dinky asked.

Neither did he Dinky.

Dinky should speed herself making the area around her slow down to catch up to the black pony.

I wasn't asking for a response from a colorblind person.

The last person I trusted as a friend tried to shoot me in the back with a 50. Desert Eagle.

School had been let out for for Hearth's Warming.

They began to talk about their education, compare

Taking the lead, the filly headed to the library. It was hours of operation, so she went ahead and opened the door.

Who?:rainbowhuh:

Not pulling back punches, huh?






I guess ability to unwind time will not appear in this book.

Dinky turned to look at Princess Celestia who gave her a comforting a smile.

then you are the worst bullies I have ever met."

Included were two photographs.

"Well it doesn't matter now," Dinky said. "I'm never doing anything like that again."

"We need to stop by the library first," Dinky said. "I need to drop something off for Miss Twilight first." She turned her attention to Ruby. "By the way, what's it like being her student."

You need a new paragraph in there.
Oh wait never mind.

And he's a great listener.

The Everfree Forest nor grow elsewhere in Equestria,"

Meanwhile Dinky looked around as her mind raced.

Dinky gave a shrug as she put finished putting on the cape.

the ferret jill ran as fast as it could at down the hall,

Is Jill the ferret’s name?

11437262
No. It turns out a male ferret is called a hob, and a female is a jill.

She had found it in the hall was she was sneaking through to get to the auditorium.

It would take more energy to take use the spell on one of them, to say nothing of both.

was no reason to be afraid of using too much magic and leaving it frozen for too long.

Right now all she could do was hope for the best.

From the middle platform of the an explosion of blue powder burst out,

The two friends stared a moment, then returned to their owns.

She pulled out a jar with filled with dirt that had a blue flower growing in it. "Here."

"I have to speak with my C.O.," he stated, "I'll be back shortly. IN the meantime, I want all of you to run laps until you collapse. And when you do collapse, begin doing push-ups. Moveitmoveitmoveit!" As he shouted, the ponies fell out of line and started to run the laps as ordered. Stonehoof watched long enough to make sure they were actually running before turning to head toward the command quarters.

:twilightangry2: Drill Sergeants!! Is there not a junior guards camp? :rainbowhuh:

but the trainees still had the second half of their day ahead of them.

she had started, and it was a exhausting.

Then as she began to speak and tell her story, figures floated the in the air.

"Sister is most displeased that one of her guards would be attacked on the castle grounds while we were elsewhere. Celestia is awaiting a report on the guards condition as well as if any others were similarly affected."

Before she was even able to finish turning around back around,

"Two things," Shadowbolt said. "First, do not," she poked the filly in the chest with a hoof, "take your eyes off your opponent.

"Correct," the princess stated, "which is why I shall be taking my guards this night so that way we may seek her out."

On his flank was a copper colored cutie mark of a pair of wings inside a gear wheel.

One of them let out a small chirp.

Then they just kind of... bounced into The Everfree Forest and disappeared."

The problem was they were too destructive to rely on that hope.

Now she just needed a way to get the supplies.

Then she would demonstrate what was expected, most often she will do the obstacle course.

Dinky followed, keeping close as they walked through the hospital.

"I probably put it off longer than I should have already.

when the day finally arrived,

planning to be using for the trip while Twinkleshine began to unpack her own.

but a statue and an old story until he broke free.
