A Tale Of Derpy
Discord sat across from Celestia and Twilight. They had returned to the study to talk.
Discord was fidgeting in his chair. "How could Startail have been pregnant? We never..."
Celestia nodded. "You are the Spirit of Chaos. Stranger things have happened."
Discord rolled his eyes. "I disagree with that. Now what happened?"
Celestia closed her eyes. "Did you ever imagine living out your life with Startail?"
Discord nodded. Celestia continued. "Did you ever think that you would have children?"
Discord's eyes widened. He put a hand to his face. "Once. Before I left her. That's what did it." He slapped his face. "Curse my magic!"
Celestia shook her head. "It's not your fault. You didn't know your magic would do this."
Discord sighed and looked at Celestia. "What happened after I was imprisoned?"
Celestia's horn glowed and a book came off of one of the shelves in the study. It stopped in front of her and opened.
Celestia looked down at the pages. "Startail had a daughter. She looked just like her, a beautiful pegasus. She grew up in the village and was a normal filly like anypony else."
Discord nodded. "So she wasn't like me."
Celestia shook her head. "Startail told her about you when she became an adult. She became confused...and dangerous. She didn't know what to think anymore. Something sparked in her. Something magic. In a fit of rage, she disappeared in a flash of light. Just like you do."
Discord stood up. "What happened to her?"
Celestia closed the book and let it go back to its shelf. "I thought she ran away to live her life in isolation. I found out the truth a few years ago.... She appeared in Ponyville just before I sent Twilight there."
Discord and Twilight both stared at Celestia. Twilight stammered. "You...you mean she....she was there? Discord's daughter was...in Ponyville?!"
Celestia nodded. "What would have only been a moment for her, was centuries in Equestria. I don't know why she appeared there. I doubt she even had control over the magic. When I heard of a pegasus that suddenly popped into existence, I investigated." She lowered her head. "Whatever magic she inherited from you Discord, it damaged her when she used it."
Discord's shoulders slumped. "What do you mean?"
Celestia looked up at him. "She has no memory from before the accident. She's a very confused pony. She has trouble even with simple tasks. She can function normally it's just....harder for her. But I knew it was her the moment I saw her. Grey coat and a yellow mane, just like Startail."
Twilight gasped. "But..I know that pony! I've seen her around Ponyville all the time! That's Derpy!"
Discord turned to Twilight. "You know her? My...daughter?"
Twilight nodded. "Not personally, but Rainbow knew her a bit. She was always getting into trouble."
Discord rolled his eyes. "That sounds like my kid."
Celestia stood up. "Discord, I told you this because I think it would help you further your reformation. I want you to go and meet her."
Discord shook his head, fear creeping into his expression. "No. I couldn't! I'm not a parent!"
Celestia smiled. "I know. Believe me, I wouldn't be asking you to do this unless I thought you could handle it. And you won't be alone. As her first assignment, I want Twilight to accompany and help you."
Twilight's eyes widened. "Me? You want me to help?"
Celestia nodded. "Who better to help Discord than you, a student of friendship, with the task ahead of him?"
Twilight was silent for a moment before nodding. She looked up at Discord. "I guess we're off to Ponyville."
Discord looked at the young princess. "It seems we are. I doubt we'll succeed."
Celestia put a hoof on his shoulder. "Have faith in Twilight. And yourself. Together you can find your family."

2162261 As Celestia said, it was only a moment for Derpy. She jumped forward in time. Think of the black hole stuff in the Star Trek. Nero waits years, Spock waits seconds. Derpy is a...."normal" pony. She ages like everypony else.
Some more exploration into Discord's thoughts about the fact that he is so suddenly a father would help your story out, I'd say.
Still good, though. I'm curious as to whether or not you're going to use Dinky as well. I don't mind either way, it would just change the story is all.
O_o Wut.
2162935 Curse my eyes for it seeing that!
Thanks.
Dear Princess Celestia:
Discord can have children just by thinking about them?!
Your freaked-out student, Twilight Sparkle.
wow, Discord just pulled a Zues, Good on yah!
If I was Celestia I would've pointed out her status as Princess of Friendship, or Goddess of Friendship. Holds a wee bit more gravitas, I think, than "student". Of which she is no longer.
Heh! Time travelin' Derpy! Minus the doctor!
Yup, I guess being Discord's daughter explains the lazy eye.
Bravo, now we have yet another data point to disprove the effectiveness of total abstinence towards preventing pregnancy.
Huh......so how did Startail live through all those years if she is mortal? I'm so confused....buck it, it's Derpy. Not bad at all.
so Derpy has discord like powers. THis is all making alot of sense. Why didn't anyone think of this before?
2168283 At least, he can't clone himself...Nevermind. The Multiverse is doomed.
I accidentally started with the 2nd chapter. IMO it is much better that way. I hate exposition, a story that jumps to the point to hold my attention is much better. The 2nd chapter makes a great job of that - it is not too long, it does not derail from the point, it has the exact right amount of everything.
If this was my fic I'd probably bring chapter 2 ahead and make 1 the 2nd and a flashback or something...but that's just my preference. :D
Nice story so far, looking forward to the rest.
2168283 *Discord* Yes, apparently so! If I so much as had a single thought about every mare in Equestria having one of my spawn... eh... oh hell...
*and the children of chaos spread far and wide, and Equestria was doomed*

Indeed, does this mean Dinky would have both Discord and the Doctor's DNA?
Wow, that'd be a dangerous combo.

Lessie...
Reality warping powers, very high intelligence, minor telepathy, regeneration, longevity, eccentricity and the ability to pilot time machines.
There is no way that this could possibly result in anything even remotely bad.
Hi I love your writing. Could you plz give me some tips?

DUDES DONT BE GETTIN MY HOPES UP LIKE THAT!!!
Interesting that derpy had some of discord's magic. Shame it damaged her. Does she still have it or was it a one-use kinda thing?
well, that answers my question of how derpy lived for centuries.
This is really great_
My reaction:
Screw ball fan sorry I'll stop here. Bye
What wow that is really unexpected turn of event here
Wow I did not say that coming so anyway Celestia talked about how Startail was pregnant and when the little one was born she was pretty happy with the little one until she got to the point when she was an adult told her daughter about Discord and everything which she didn't believe the truth and basically went angry and just teleport somewhere else and nobody know what happened to Discord kid but she had a report that a mysterious girl came out of nowhere before Twilight arrived in Ponyville and it turns out it was Derpy I wonder how old she is and apparently she doesn't remember what happened and her past life so now Discord has to talk with her which does not going to be easy but I hope maybe this would reconnect her
