by someone useless

things change

Previous Chapter

It was a beautiful spring afternoon in Ponyville. The sky was clear, the town was bustling with ponies going about there business and a crater in the center of town was still steaming from its impact. Everything was nice and quiet in this lovely town.

"why isn't your hair pink it's supposed to be pink i'm sorry for saying but you look like an idiot" he said and started to snicker

The only response he received was annoyed glares from the two alicorns in the group. Right next to him was a nervous Unicorn and a confused Pegasus. Twilight started to panic as she saw the way Celestia had her eyes on the laughing wreck in front of her.  She rushed over to Celestia hoping to try and convince her to give mercy to cosmos.

"Please don't send him to the moon Princess."

"Go ahead and try." He suddenly disappeared in a black flash and reappeared in front of Celestia, his face mere inches from hers. He had a grin on his face that showed of pure insanity. "I dare you."

Celestia took a step back from her older brother. She knew, very well how brutal he can be when he wants to. This came to a complete shock to Twilight. She never seeing her mentor to back down to anything was a complete surprise to her. The image of an ever knowing and fearless leader was shattered in Twilight's mind. If this pony could make Celestia flinch then he was powerful.

"Good idea Tia, you wouldn't want this to end up like last time. My how I remember it, on the ground with a pool of blood around your body. You looked so weak and helpless with your mouth full of blood and tears flowing down your face. Good thing Dad was there to help you. Who knows what could have happened?" His emotion suddenly changed to a less fearful face to one of pure glee. "But enough of the memories, it's so good two see you two again. We can now live as a family again. You, me, Luna, Mom, Da-."

"There dead."

"What!?!"

Tears began to streak down Celestia's cheek as she repeated the cold words. Her body became cold as ice from the memory of seeing her parent’s dead. "Mom and Dad they...they died a few years after you disappeard."

"Well that's unfortunate." said cosmos with a sad face He was shocked by the news of his parent’s death but not totaly. Celestia figured it wouldn't affect him much since he's seen so much death in his time. Galaxy walked over to Derpy who was sitting silent while watching the others speak.

"Where do you live Derpy?" Derpy pointed to a house on top of a western hill.

"I'll meet you there later tonight. I wish to get to know someone like you." He then held up her grey hoof and kissed it. Derpy thought that one of the bubbles on her cutie mark would pop from the amount of blood speeding through her body; he left her with a red face and an embarrassed look.

"Well Celestia let's head back to the castle, we have a lot to catch up on." He then unrolled his wings, and with a powerful flap he was in the air, Celestia and Luna following right behind him.

Twilight watched at they flew towards the fairy tale like castle. Then she noticed that Derpy was still in the same pose as when she was kissed by cosmos. The blush a deep red and steam flowing off her head.

"Are you alright Derpy?"

"Muffin?"
