Fluttercheer's "Everypony is important." Flashfic Anthology

by Fluttercheer

March 2023: Future's Crossroads (Prompt: Multiversal Mayhem)

.

Derpy stopped mid-movement, the brickstone she held staying in the tight grip of her raised hoof instead of smashing the window she was aiming at. She stared at the strange animal abomination that had suddenly appeared right next to her.

"Oh my, what are you trying to do with that, little filly?" it mocked her in a sardonic voice.

The answer she gave was not satisfactory, so Discord snapped his claws. And in front of her, inside the shop window, herself manifested, multiple times. Each appearance accompanied by a short remark from the abomination.

"A smelly ghoul, eww!"

"An aristocratic mare who is unhappy with her dark secrets."

"An aggressive monster that beats up ponies when she doesn't get the muffin she wanted."

Derpy just stared, disbelief re-assembling her face, her hoof now lowered.

"Multiple, possible futures, but which is it going to be?" the abomination prompted for an answer.

Author's Note:

The three other Derpys in this flashfic are from the universes of "Fallout: Equestria" (don't think I need to link that one), "Moody Mark Crusaders" and "Epic Rage Time: The Incredible Derp".

and what happened to Derpy here

Derpy tried to smash in a store window with a brickstone, out of grief and anger over something that happened to her. This moment takes place after she learned about her eye condition and that she can't be a great race flier anymore because of that. Discord catches her in that moment and he shows Derpy alternate versions of herself that he pulled from other universes who all either suffer from a bad fate or have made morally questionable decisions in their lives, to teach her a lesson by demonstrating her what she might become if she chooses the path of crime.
