> Time's Derp > by Blue Jewel > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The scared gray pegasus looked down in fear. This is what I get for following that mysterious unicorn. She looked at the unicorn his coat was light blue and his mane was dark gray. Derpy's wings and front arms were tied behind her back with a rope controlled by a pulley which the unicorn has control over. Under her were razor sharp needles, the point soaked with a rattlesnake's venom. "You'll never get away with this!" Derpy screamed trying to break free. "Ugh I hate it when ponies say that! Plus I already have!" said the unicorn with a heavy German accent, who was laughing manically as he pushed to red button. Self destruct in 3 minutes Derpy panicked and struggled to get free "Help somepony please help!" pleaded Derpy at the top of her lungs. "Forget it! No pony can save you now! BWHAHAHAHA!" the unicorn laughed again "I beg to differ!" charged in the Doctor. "Doctor!" screamed the now happy pegasus. "Hello!" piped the brown earth pony. "Help me!" panicked Derpy. "Hm? Oh right!" the Doctor rushed towards Derpy and untied her, Derpy flew down in front of the Doctor. "Thank you Doctor!" she hugged the Doctor. He felt butterflies in his stomach. And cut! Ok, everybody it's a wrap we'll finish this scene tomorrow! announced a pale green earth pony, whose cutie mark had lights and a camera. Yep, that's the director of the show "Doctor Whooves and Assistant", starring Time Turner and Ditzy Doo or aka Derpy Hooves. Ditzy and Time have been really close friends ever since foal school. "Hey Time!'' exclaimed the pegasus. "Oh hey, Derpy! I loved your acting, you've gotten really good over the past few years." said Time with a grin on his face. "Thanks, so did you! Anyways I was hoping if you wanted to hang out later and go to Sugarcube Corner?" "Of course, I would love to! What time do you wanna go?" "How about around 4:30?" asked Derpy "Sure that sounds great! See you then! Bye!" Time Turner smiled and squealed with delight as soon as she was out of view. They didn't notice the light blue unicorn listening to their conversation. Time starts to walk off a heads for home, on the way he starts thinking Do I like Derpy? What's not to like, her beautiful golden amber eyes sparkle every time she smiles, and her silky blonde mane shimmers in the light. Time Turner shook his head. I really need to stop watching soap operas. Time Turner finally got home and took a nap. When he woke it was 4:00. "Well time to get ready!" Time Turner smiled. Time happily got up from his bed and trotted over to the mirror and combed his mane. He often caught himself humming a catchy tune. He wore the green tie that Derpy gave him for his birthday last week. He looked at himself one last time in the mirror and walked to Sugarcube Corner. "Hi Time! I'm glad you made it! I was just talking to Henry." Henry's coat was light blue and his mane was gray, he is the same unicorn that plays the evil "Victor Bloodcraze". "Oh hey Henry!" Time cursed under his breath "What are you doing here?" Time asked annoyingly. "Well I wanted to try some muffins, blueberry are my favorite." Henry replied he looked at Derpy and said it loud enough for her to hear. Derpy gasped "Wow really? Those are my favorite kind of muffins too!" "Of course they're his favorite muffins." Time muttered under his breath. "Did you say something Time?" Derpy asked. "Erhm..no Derpy it's nothing really." Time smiled at the pegasus. "Oh ok so I'll just go ask for some blueberry muffins, I'll come back in a bit!" Derpy smiled and walked towards Mrs. Cake. "So 'Henry' what are you really doing here?" Time sneered at the unicorn who had a sheepish grin on his face. "I overheard you and Derp talking and I decided to tag along as well." Henry chuckled meanly. "First of all it's Derpy not 'Derp' and you are 20 years old, you shouldn't act like a foal eavesdropping on ponies conversations that have nothing to deal with you!" Time huffed clearly bothered at Henry. "Oh Time!" Henry playfully punched Time arm a little too hard, "When are you going to realize that wall eyes likes me and not you, you're just jealous." "Wall eyes! How dare you! Derpy's eyes are beautiful! and ME?!? jealous of you? I'll show you jea-" before Time could do anything, Derpy jumped in. "Hey guys! I got two blueberry muffins and a chocolate chip muffin for Time." Derpy smiled and handed everypony their muffins. "Oh Derpy, you remembered!" Time smiled and took a bite. "Of course I did what kind of friend would I be if I didn't remember your favorite muffin?" Time couldn't help but blush at the mare's response. After everyone was finished eating the muffins, Time and Derpy said goodbye and planned to have lunch another day. They both went to their separate houses. Time sighed, jumped on his bed, and couldn't help but think about Derpy. How dare he, calling her wall eyed as if she was just a piece of trash. Her eyes are beautiful. No why am I- oh forget it! I'm in love. Nothing wrong with it! Time fell asleep dreaming about him and Derpy watching Celestia's beautiful sunset. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time woke up and headed towards sugar-cube corner for a bite to eat. He saw Derpy and Carrot Top talking to each other, he decided not to bother them so he just walked by and couldn't help but overhear what Derpy just said. "So should I tell him that I like him?" Derpy asked with a hint of blush upon her cheeks. Time stopped dead in his tracks and twitched. His stomach gurgled, his mouth was wide open. Oh please oh please oh please let it be me. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Derpy smile at him walk toward his way. Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh... "Hey Time? Can I ask you something?" Derpy scratched the back of her head with her hoof. "Sure Derpy you can ask me anything." Time tried to manage a smile. "Ok can we sit down first?" Derpy pointed toward the round table and sat down. She took a deep breath, "Is it weird for a mare to ask out a stallion?" Time's heart almost exploded. "Erm...no I don't think it would be weird." "Ok so I wanted to tell you for a really time now." Derpy began, "I think I like..." "Go on." Time's smile got wider. Derpy couldn't take it anymore, "I like Henry!" Time's stomach knotted, his smile disappeared in a matter of seconds, his eyes grew red and he still couldn't process with Derpy just said, so he inhaled deeply and asked "What?" "I think I like Henry..." Derpy repeated. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Time? Are you alright?" Derpy waved her hoof in front of the earth pony's face which seemed a little green. "Time?" Derpy asked worryingly. "Oh sorry Derpy, it's just I can't believe what you just said, "Are you sure you like him?" Derpy sighs, "Whats not to like hes dreamy, smart, funny, and we have a lot of things in common." she smiles. Time cleared his throat, "Well if you really like him, why don't you just ask him out?" he barely gasped out. "Oh I don't know Time, I don't think he'll be interested in a clumsy mare like me." Derpy frowned and looked up at Time, who was biting his bottom lip. "If he doesn't like someone as amazing as you, then he doesn't deserve you. I'm sorry Derpy but I've really need to get going, I'll see you later!" Time walked out of Sugarcube corner leaving behind a dumb-folded gray pegasus. "But, but uhm..." Derpy thought for a minute. "Oh ok bye Time." "Well? what did he say?" Carrot Top asked her best friend. "I think he said I should go for it." Derpy sighed. "See? I told you it wont be so bad, when are planning on telling him?" Derpy was distracted and didn't listen to a word Carrot Top was saying. She still looked out the door, wondering why Time left so suddenly. "Ok Derpy you can do this today is going to be the day you tell Henry you like him." Derpy reassured herself in her mirror. "But what if I can't?" "You can!" "What if he doesn't like me back? Then it's going to be so awkward..." "No Derpy there's no turning back now." Derpy took a deep breath and stepped out of her wardrobe and closed the door with a big yellow star that had Derpy Hooves written across from it. Derpy let in a deep breath and exhaled, Ok let's do this she made her way through the hallway and knocked on Henry's door. Knock knock knock "Yes?" Henry asked. Derpy stomach fluttered and felt flushed. "H-Hi Henry it's me Derpy can I talk to you?" > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derpy shuffled her two front hooves, "So I guess I kinda like you..." Henry smiled a mischievous grin, Everything is going according to plan, took that bubbly twit long enough turned around and hugged Derpy. Derpy blushed and felt unsure of what was going on. Henry broke the hug and said "I'm really glad you told me, Ditzy." Derpy cheeks and ears blushed as soon as those words left his lips. She almost got lost in his dark green eyes until he said four words that will change her life, "I like you too." Henry knew how to reel her in, he took a step forward and brought his lips and locked them against Derpy's. ~Derpy's POV~ "I'm really glad you told me, Ditzy." The way he said my real name made it sound so, special. His eyes there just so dreamy "I like you too." What? Henry took a step in front of me, looks at me for a moment, smiles, and kisses me. Oh my sweet Celestia if this is a dream do not wake me up! "Hey Henry have you se-" Time looks at both Henry and Derpy who are kissing, when they realize he entered the room they immediately break away. Time's hoof is still out holding the door, his eye twitches, and he finally processes what just happened. At that instant, he felt his heart shatter in a tiny million pieces. He just kissed Derpy "Tell the director that I'm going to be at my house today because I don't feel so well." Time turned around and leaves. "Time!" Derpy yelled out. Time slowly turned around whose eyes was filled with tears. When Derpy saw his tear-stained face she asked, "What wrong? Are you hurt?" Time nodded, turned around "It just hurts too much." After Time left, Derpy looked back at Henry, who had a smug grin across his face. Derpy was infuriated How can he smile when my best friend is hurting?. Suddenly Derpy finally realized, I don't like Henry! Oh why haven't I've seen this before! Oh Derpy you're such a feather-brain. I like Time, he's always been there for me, ever since we were foals! Derpy turned to Henry and said "Henry, I'm sorry but my feelings aren't real. I like somepony else and he means too much to me to give up." Time's POV hmph! Time kicked a rock on the sidewalk, "Just when I was going to tell her my feelings for her." Time sighed. "Maybe it's for the best, Derpy doesn't deserve someone like me." AAAAAAAAAHH! Henry sighed "Aw Derpy that's so sweet it makes me wanna-." Henry pulled out a cloth and covered Derpy's mouth, before he did, Derpy saw this coming, screamed and finally passed out. Time's ears perked up at the sudden noise I know that scream...it must have been..Oh no! . > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Derpy's POV~ Derpy awoke with a jerk, she looked around the room and didn't see anything familiar. The room was pitch-black and there was a single light in front of her. She was hoovecuffed to a couple of metal bars she fumbled with it, but it was no use, all it did was make a sharp cling cling cling. I must be in some kind of underground room or something. Oh when I find Henry he's gonna pay! Her thoughts were interrupted by a deep voice. "It's about time you woke up, I thought I killed you." sneered the voice. "Henry what kind of sick game are you playing?!" Derpy shouted at the top of her lungs. Henry flipped a switch that turned on the whole room. Derpy blinked her eyes for a few moments the bright light impaired her vision for a moment. When she could finally see again what she saw in front of her was truly astonishing. ~Time's POV~ Oh Henry you've really done it this time! First you kiss Derpy and now you foalnap her! Time ran as fast as he could, he looked where he last saw Henry. He stepped inside the strange room and found a pass-code lock. Ugh! I hate these! Derpy's eyes saw the most upgraded technology in pony history. There were giant telescopes that can see the smallest of bacteria. Computers that can store more than a million gigabytes and viles that were holding different poisons. Hm, seems more like a mad sciencepony lair than a science lab Derpy mind began to wander off until Henry finally spoke up. "You see Derpy, my boss and I have found something...interesting about you." Henry started. "What do you mean?" Derpy retorted getting angrier by the minute. "Although your eyes make you look stupid, you really aren't, in fact you have an IQ of 134. Which is means you're pretty much a genius." Henry stated. "Well then, what do you want from me?!" Derpy shouted. "I'd thought you'd never ask." Henry smiled and continued,"My boss and I have found a rare element beyond the Everfree Forest, we began making some tests and found that it is highly dangerous." "So? What does that have to do with me?" "We've been looking for an elements this dangerous for months to add into our new invention." "What?! What, does this have to do with me?!?!" Derpy shouted clearly becoming annoyed at Henry. Henry just smiled and replied calmly, "We have the idea for our invention and you have the smarts, so you're going to build it." "What?! I'm not going to build anything for you, you seem like the kind of pony who will build a death ray!" Henry chuckled, "As a matter of fact, that's exactly what it is, and I knew you were going to show resistance, so..." Henry walked over to a giant T.V and turned it on. "Derpy! Help me! Please!" Derpy saw who it was and gasped. > Chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derpy's eyes widened and sneered at Henry "LET.HER.GO.NOW!" Derpy shouted, that was the last straw, no pony absolutely no pony hurts Carrot Top. "Ah ah ah! First you must fix this." Henry held up a blueprint which had Death Ray written across it. Derpy looked at the blueprints and said "You need to add copper and wires in the back of the ray." Henry looked at the blueprint and facehoofed, "Really? That's it?!" he shouted feeling aggravated that was all he had to do. "Now let Carrot Top go now! and what do you even need a Death Ray for!?" Henry just smiled walked up to one of his machines and pressed a button, "There she's out, and I have royal business to attend to." Derpy gasped "Are you going to kill Celestia?" "Oh no no no dear, kill sounds so aggressive, I'm going to blast her with this and make her fall asleep for a really long time." Henry laughed. As if on cue one of the side doors opened and in came Carrot Top. Derpy saw her best friend and yelled. "Carrot Top! Run! Tell Time where I am please hurry!" Carrot Top just looked at Derpy with a dumbfolded look then she looked at Henry who just shrugged. Carrot Top just threw her head back and laughed "Hahahahaha! Oh Derpy you really are stupid aren't you?" Derpy had a confused look on her face and finally realized, "Carrot Top are you working for Henry?" Carrot Top just snickered and said "No, you idiot, he's working for me!" Derpy was on the verge of tears, "You're Henry's boss." Time looked at the passcode lock for a moment, shrugged, slammed his hooves on it, breaking it into a thousand little pieces and it opened the door. Well, that was easy! Time stepped inside and hid behind one of the machines. He saw Derpy chained to metal bars and looked around. He saw Carrot Top step in from one of the doors. What is she doing here? Before Time could say anything or he heard Derpy say, "Carrot Top! Run! Tell Time where I am please hurry!" He couldn't help but blush when she said his name, when he saw that Carrot Top wasn't running or didn't even react to Derpy's plead of help, he realized Carrot Top is one of the bad guys. Derpy let a tear fall and looked at once her best friend. "How could you do this to me?! I thought we were friends!" Carrot Top gave Derpy a cold stare,"Let me help you remember what you did to make me hate you." "Huh?" "You see Derpy, back when they were still holding auditions for the movie you are now starring in. You remember when I brought you to cheer me on?" [cue flashback] "Aw come on Carrot Top! Just step in there and remember everything you practiced for, it's your moment to shine!" Derpy smiled and pushed her friend into the stage. "Fine! Ok I'm going wish me luck!" Carrot Top walked into the stage. "Hello, Carrot Top is it?" Henry asked. "Yes." she replied "Alright now who are you going to try the part of today?" "The assistant." "Ok now, I'm going to say a line and you respond with the script you have there ok?" "Ok." Henry laughed evilly "Now your Doctor won't find you!" "Oh you won't get away with this!" Carrot Top screamed with little enthusiasm. Derpy looked from the background and couldn't contain herself. "Carrot Top! More enthusiastic! Look like this 'You won't get away with this!'" "Oh, ok 'You wont-" she started and was interrupted by the director. "That was perfect!" Carrot Top blushed, "Thank you!" "Not you! Her!" He pointed at Derpy. "Who me?" Derpy asked. "It was simply marvelous! Stop the auditions, we have found the assistant role!" Derpy blushed and put a hoof to her cheek. [end flashback] "You took the part I've always dreamed of having! You knew how hard I worked for that part, and how much time I spent trying to get it just right!" Carrot Top screamed at Derpy, who was crying. Time couldn't take it anymore, he hated to see Derpy sad let alone it broke his heart to see her cry. "Leave her alone!" > Chapter 7 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Excuse me?!” Carrot Top backed away from Derpy and looked around for the familiar voice. “I said leave her alone!” Time shouted again. “Hmph! It’s you. Too bad you can’t save your stupid girlfriend here, now that because she’s given us the last piece to the death ray,"Carrot Top put her hoof to Derpy's chin and pushed it aside. "she is now useless to us.” Carrot Top looked at Henry and tilted her head towards Time, “Get rid of him.” Henry smiled and cracked his neck, “Gladly.”Derpy was struggling, trying to escape, with all of her energy. When she saw Henry walk towards Time she got mad. “Henry! I swear to Celestia, if you hurt a hair on his head, I will-" “What are going to do about it? Cry?!” Carrot Top interrupted and mocked Derpy. Derpy gave Carrot Top a cold stare, then she looked for Time, who was about to throw the first punch. Henry saw this coming and blocked it. Derpy gasped, Henry then punched Time on the side, knocking the air out of him. Henry smiled at his accomplishment and was also distracted by it, taking advantage of it; Time kicked Henry in the stomach, knocking him back several feet. Several punches and kicks were thrown until Henry finally knocked Time down. "No! Time!" Derpy closed her eyes letting the tears run down her face. She looked around, on the ground she found a wire, using her tail she flicked the wire towards her. She caught it with her mouth then she began picking the lock with the wire. Meanwhile, Carrot Top was laughing at Time’s defeat, until something smacked her across the face. “What the-ouch!” Derpy smacked Carrot Top with her tail; Carrot Top pushed Derpy back and walked towards Henry. “You’re too late.” Carrot Top snickered and laughed. Henry smiled at Carrot Top, grabbed the ray-gun and pointed at Derpy, “Let’s test this thing out.” Derpy just smiled at Henry when he pulled the trigger, it clicked. “What the hay!?” He began hitting it with his hoof then Carrot Top grabbed it, Henry tried to take it away from her pulling it back and forth, “No! I want to kill her!” Carrot Top pulled the trigger shooting both of them. “Uh-oh.” The both said in unison. Whoosh! They then both disappeared into thin air. Derpy turned around then saw Time who lying on the ground, bruised and bloodied; she flew over to him and began crying. “Time? Are you ok? Please tell me you are!” Derpy helped him Time sit up, he wiped some blood-saliva off his lower lip. Time coughed a few times letting out a few drops of blood, “Don’t worry Derpy I’ll be fine, just get out, go on without me, I’ll catch up with you later.” Derpy shook her head a let a tear fall, “No Time, I’m not going to let you go again, you were always there for me and now I’m going to be here for you.” Time smiled at Derpy, and began, "Derpy, I-" He was interupted. Police then began rushing in, Derpy confused, looked at Time who was smiling, “I called them whenever I began chasing Henry, I knew there was something wrong with that pony.” The police asked Derpy some questions, and after an hour or so, they let her go. Derpy went back with Time, who was wrapped around a blanket; some of the swelling of his bottom lip has stopped and began to recover. Time saw Derpy coming and took a deep breath, “Before I forget, Derpy, there is something I’ve always wanted to tell you, I love you, from the moment I first-mmph!” Time was interrupted by a kiss. When Derpy finally broke the kiss, Time was pouting. “What? I thought you would like it!” Derpy whined. “I loved it, but you didn’t let me finish, plus you still have some of Henry lips left on you.” Time scrunched up his nose and laughed, “I’m just kidding!” Derpy then laughed with him, “I’m sorry Time, that I didn’t realize this sooner, I was so caught up in Henry’s lies I didn’t notice somepony who was really important and special to me, you.” Time smiled and hugged Derpy, “You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for you to say that.” Derpy giggled and hugged Time back, “You know, this is an unusual way to start off a relationship.” Time laughed, “Ditzy Doo! We’ve known each other since we were foals! I’m pretty sure everything about us is unusual!” Derpy hugged Time and laughed again, This time it's real, I love him Since there wasn’t an evil villain anymore, the director decided to change the movie up a bit. “Doctor Whooves and Ditzy Doo.” A faraway time traveler, who winds up in an alternate universe and begins to fall in love with the pegasus he crashes into, mixed with romance, adventure, and tragedy. For Time and Ditzy/Derpy, they grew happy together. Time proposed and Derpy (obviously) said yes, but that’s a different story. “But, this is only the beginning of a new adventure for Time Turner and Ditzy Doo.” Time closed the book, set his glasses aside and sat Dinky on his lap. “Is there more?” Dinky asked her father. “There is much more” Time kissed Dinky’s forehead and tucked her into bed, “but that’s for another time.” The End (for now) > Epilogue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ahhhhhhh!!! The earth pony fell first out of the puff of smoke and the unicorn fall second, landing on the earth pony. The earth pony yelled at the unicorn, "Henry! Get off of me!" She picked herself up and dusted herself off; fixing her orange mane, making sure it was fine. Henry huffed at the ignorant pony, "Well if SOMEPONY didn't have to be all hoofzy with the ray, we wouldn't be in this mess!" Carrot Top scowled, "You know what Henry!?" Henry turned around and gawked at the sight in front of him. "What are you looking at?!" Carrot Top yelled, Henry just stared wide eyed and pointed in front of him. Carrot Top turned around and stopped in her tracks, "Where...are...we?" TO BE CONTINUED...
