The Derpy Games
Chapter 1: Reaping
Load Full StoryNext ChapterI wake up another miserable morning just to hear my younger daughter crying. Weirdly enough the house was silent. I look sleepily at my alarm clock. It was 12:00 already I over slept! It was already time to go to the reaping. Wait did I read it wrong? Oh ok it was 11:00 I still have 1 and a half hours. So I finally get up out of bed to put on my camouflage jacket and fly down from Clouds Dale. I see my friend holding her gala dress and waving it in the summer air. I smell flowers all around me, but especially I smell just baked muffins! I look around for the muffin stand.
“Am I to late?” I ask.
“Of course not Derpy you know I leave the best muffins for you!” Mrs. Cake says with a sweet smile. Then I see the twins in the back.
“May I see them?” Mrs. Cake nods as I fly to the back of the bakery.
“Hi you two muffins!” They start giggling because they love being called muffins. I look behind me and see the whistle is about to blow! Quickly I kiss the babies and fly off. I am a mother who is 16. It’s weird, but I adopted from my sister who is 31.
I finally get home when I see a little filly unicorn with a pale purple coat and a blonde mane crying in a corner.
“Mommy why do I have to go to the reaping?” she asks
“Muffin it is a long story, but for now we need to go.” I say.
“Mommy,” she says as we trot towards the reaping which starts in 20 minuets. “did you buy me some thing?” I derp as she says it. Then I fly to the stand seeing there is no one there. I sadly trot back and say “Sorry muffin but there was nothing there.” she frowns at the words coming from my mouth. I go into the square of the reaping up in Cloudsdale. I see Dinky standing on a cloud because of Twilights magic.
“Ok every pony we are about to start!” says the reaping master Fleur Dis Lee
“And we are about to select one courageous stallion and mare for this years Equestrian games!!! As I always say mares first!” Ok this is Dinky’s first year she wont be chosen will she no of course not. I look at the unicorn as her magic digs down to the bottom of the bowl. I flash back to when Dinky put in her card.
“I’m scared to be the first one but oh well.” the card drops to the bottom of the bowl. No, no, no, NO!! I try to think of some thing but then the reaping master say “Dinky Doo!” I can’t breath! No this cant be happening to me!
“I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!” No what have I just done! I risked my own life!
“MOMMY NO YOU CANT LEAVE.” she tries to grab me but I fly up. I look down on her. “Good bye my little muffin!” I say as a tear drops to the ground. “Good bye my mother my big, big muffin.” I look at her as she cries but then a couple peace ponies push me to the stage. “Now time for the stallions! Time Turner!” I look around to see what he looks like. I take a good look at him, but he looks tough and I have to try to kill him. For my little muffin. “Your districts tributes. Time Turner and Ditzy Doo!!”
