> A Marewolf Haiku > by Dr Freaky > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Beginning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear haiku journal, this is my very first entry! My name is Derpy! I got this journal at the reopened library, just across the road. The new owner must be rich or from canterlot. They had lots of bits. The librarian was a purple unicorn with a pet dragon. The unicorn was quite distracted and did not help me find my books. She just kept mumbling to herself about the moon and the world ending. The dragon was nice and unlike the unicorn, had better manners. He was only a baby but he still scared me a little. He had such sharp teeth! He called himself Spike and he showed me this book. He said it was mine. Spike told me that a "pink pony" dropped it off. I can guess who. Apparently she told spike to give it to me, that I would need it. I took it but I forgot to get the books that I had come there for. A shame but I have not exactly had much bit's on myself lately. I have never had a journal or diary, even as a foal. Perhaps that's why I kept this book and not hoofed it over to Dinky. I have been sadder then normal recently due to my day job. I have heard writing can make you feel better and helps to clear your head. So I decided to try my hoof at some writing for once. It is difficult to write with my mouth, It will take practice. The art of haiku, five syllables then seven and then back to five. As I write haiku's, of my life in your pages, I eat a muffin. I just love muffins! They always taste delicious- except raisins. Blegh! I have packed some food for my daughter dinky for when she gets home. I packed her very favorite type of muffin, blueberry muffins! I am glad we both enjoy the same types of food. Muffins are cheap. I must say goodbye, dear haiku journal. See you very soon! > Day At The Market > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear haiku journal, today I went to get food for our dog Bubbles! I met Fluttershy at the market today and she was helpful! She had bought extra dog food by accident and was willing to share. I really owe her, but she insisted that she did not need my help. As always she is so polite and asked me how my dog was doing. I told her Bubbles was doing great and that this food would make her day. She seemed really happy that I said that and after that we parted ways. Our dogs breed is a Shih Tzu and we just love her so, so, so, SO much. Geez, that was my worst haiku I have written yet, dear haiku journal. Bubbles is around ten years old and is doing well for dogs her age. When Dinky was born, I wanted her to have a loyal friend with her. Bubbles has done her job beautifully and has always loved us. In fact... she's sitting in my lap as I write in your pages right now! I am using her back as a sort of table but she doesn't care. Oops, just realized that I forgot to fill her dish now that I am back. Good thing I have you, or I would have forgotten to feed her kibble. It is getting late, soon I will need to pick up dinky from her school. I bid you farewell, dear helpful haiku journal! see you tomorrow! Hello again friend! Remember how I had said see you tomorrow? Guess what? I just lied! Well... I forgot actually but Dinky told me. Apparently the Summer Sun Celebration is only tonight!!! I totally had forgotten because I have been busy with mail! Now I have to work fast to get everyponies mail before tonight! This will be hard but I need to be with Dinky when the sun rises. This will be her first time seeing the celebration for herself with me. I need to go now as I must make haste unless I don't want my job. See you tomorrow, my dear haiku journal and this time its for real! > The End Is Neigh > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Something bad happened, I fear it may be the end. I am terrified. Last night I went with Dinky to see the summer sun celebration. Our princess never appeared to raise the sun for all of us. Instead in her place was a horrible monster, an evil alicorn. She claimed to be our new queen and that it would be night time forever. The royal guards tried to stop her but she struck them down with lightning. I'm inside of a hidden bunker under the town hall with Dinky. Other ponies are with us and sit in the dark wondering whats next. I hold my daughter against my side as she shakes in fear of the dark. Its really still night! She wasn't lying at all! Were going to die! What do I tell her?! I can't just tell Dinky that we will die tonight! A bunch of ponies got together and found out that we will soon freeze. They said without sun, that there won't be enough heat to keep eques warm. Blankets are already being passed out and it feels really cold already. I snuck out and now I'm in a lot of trouble with everypony. We didn't have enough blankets for every pony so I got them some. I let in a bunch of coldness in from outside though by accident. Even with blankets, somehow it feels colder then it had been before. If it is ok, can I let Dinky write in you for a little while? Oh, wait your a book. You can't talk or have opinions. Won't really matter. i like to make art and i like eating muffins! my mom is awesome! violets are red, berries are blue, my first haiku! Well, thats Dinky's first haiku and thats pretty good for just her first try. See you soon... or not. If we don't make it then I guess that means were dead. > Aftermath > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are all alive! Apparently six ponies managed to stop her. I have never been so happy to be alive! I cried afterward. I think Dinky was pretty confused and scared too. Thought it was our end... Strangely everything has gone back to how it was before Nightmare Moon. I haven't heard how they stopped her besides rumors. I'm a nice mare but... After what nearly happened, I hope that they sent her to tartarus. Dear haiku journal, today I had some time to walk Dinky to school. She still seemed bothered by something so I asked her about last night. Dinky said she was ok and that this was about something else entirely. As her mother I was worried but I respect Dinky's privacy. I dropped her off and gave her the lunch I made for her before school. She took it and looked Extremely depressed but she went to school anyway. I do hope she does Decide to tell me what’s wrong but If she wants I’ll wait. I did my normal Route today and carried some Really heavy stuff. I have never seen My manager so happy After my deliveries! She said if I keep This up I might get a raise! This is such great news! Apparently some Ponies are reconnecting With distant loved ones, Nightmare moon affected all Of Equestria in a huge way And for the better. So there has been much More business then usual, Therefor more money. I can’t wait to tell Dinky and Bubbles about What just transpired! I told them and they were so happy! Dinky was basically dancing! Bubbles was happy too and wagging her tail with us on the sofa. I promised them I would work even harder to make our lives better! Dinky said I did not have to promise because she already knew. I decided to sleep in and get ready for tomorrows mail. Good night dear journal, I shall write in your pages some time tomorrow.
