Chapter 3: Broken Memories

Chapter 3: Broken Memories

Derpy and Pinkiepie were walking down the road in silence. The only thing on Derpy's mind was Dinky. She felt mixed emotions when she started thinking about Dinky. The sadness of her being dead. The hope of her being alive. The fear of having to shoot her if she became a walker. Pinkiepie saw the expression of worry on her face. So she thought that it would be good if she broke the silence.

"So what happened to you?" Pinkie asked.

"I was at work opening crates. Then they fell on top of me. The next thing I know is that I woke up in a hospital." Derpy replied.

"You know when the apocalypse started. I was scared. I saw all everpony turning and I didn't know what to do. Mr. and Mrs. Cake reacted quickly by getting out of Ponyville. I decided to stay and board up the place." Pinkie said.

Derpy looked at Pinkiepie. "Why didn't you go with them?" Derpy asked.

"Too scared." Pinkie replied.

"How much?" Derpy asked.

"I was scared shitless. It was fucking terrifying." Pinkie replied.

"I bet it was." Derpy smiled and they continued walking in silence.

Twenty minutes later. They finally reached Derpy's house. But what Derpy saw wasn't the home she knew. There were bullet holes all over the front of the house. The windows had looked like blood was splattered in the house. After noticing the blood, Derpy rushed towards the house. She quickly opened the door and looked at her living room. There was a dead pony lying in front of the window with its head bashed and blood splattered all over the the window. Derpy walked towards the kitchen and saw muffins on the counter with blood all over them and a dead pony lying on the floor. Derpy went upstairs and checked Dinky's bedroom.

Derpy opened Dinky's door quickly and the room looked like as if it was untouched. Derpy checked her bedroom and saw an open window. She went to the open window and looked out at the sky. She put her hooves in the window and felt something soft. She looked down and saw a blue feather.

"R..Rainbow Dash?." She looked up at the sky and got on her knees and started to pray. "Dear lord, please keep my filly safe and give Rainbow Dash enough strength to protect Dinky." Tears started to stream down Derpy's cheek. "Amen."

Pinkiepie entered the house and went upstairs. She entered Derpy's room and saw Derpy staring out the window.

"Derpy are you..." Pinkie stopped herself when Derpy turned around.

Pinkiepie saw Derpy crying sk she walked up to Derpy and tried to comfort her. Pinkiepie wrapped her arms around Derpy and Derpy leaned her head against Pinkiepie's shoulder. She started to cry into Pinkiepie's shoulder. *Bash*. The crying stop once the noise went off. Pinkiepie quickly got up and stood next to the door. Derpy got up and went behind Pinkipie.

Pinkiepie looked at Derpy and nodded her head. She opened the door and went in the hallway. Derpy looked back at her bed and saw a picture frame lying on the bed. She walked up to the bed and picked up the frame. She saw a photo of Derpy and Dinky at the park. Derpy pulled the picture out of the frame and put the picture in the duffle bag she was carrying.

Derpy went back in the hallway and saw Pinkiepie waiting for her at the stairs. Pinkiepie peeked her head into the living room and saw two walkers in the living room. One of them was eating the dead pony that was next to the window and the other one walking around the living room. Pinkiepie looked at Derpy.

"Two walkers we can handle them." Pinkie said.

Derpy nodded and held her shovel up. Pinkiepie peeked her head and saw more walkers entering the living room. She looked at the front door and saw a herd of walkers. She quickly pulled her head back and looked at Derpy.

"There is a shit ton of walkers now." Pinkie said.

"Are you fucking with me?" Derpy asked.

"No I'm not fucking with you. They're coming in the front door." Pinkie replied.

Derpy looked back into her bedroom and saw the open window. She looked back at Pinkiepie.

"We can go out the window." Derpy said.

Pinkiepie looked at her bedroom and saw the open window. Derpy went back in the bedroom and Pinkiepie followed her. They entered the bedroom and Pinkiepie closed the door behind them. Derpy looked out the window and saw a walker. She looked at Pinkiepie.

"One walker. We can handle it. I'll go first." Derpy said.

Pinkiepie nodded. Derpy threw her duffle bag out the window. It landed on top of the walker which reduced the noise. Derpy sat on the edge of the window and jumped off. Derpy landed on her hooves and went up to the walker and bashed its head with her shovel. She picked up the duffle bag and put it on her back. She looked back at the window and saw Pinkiepie sitting on the edge of the window. Derpy ran underneath the window.

"Throw me your duffle bag." Derpy quietly yelled.

Pinkiepie lowered the duffle bag as far as she could and dropped it. Derpy caught the duffle bag and laid it right next to her. Pinkiepie pushed herself off the window and landed on her hooves. She quickly picked up her duffle bag and out it on her back. Derpy looked out to the open and saw Canterlot.

"Pinkiepie is the princess still alive?" Derpy asked.

"I don't know. After the apocalypse nopony has heard from the princess at all." Pinkie replied.

"Do you think Canterlot is a safe zone?" Derpy asked.

"Are you kidding. There is no such thing as a safe zone." Pinkie replied.

"Worth a shot." Derpy mumbled.

"Lets go to Sweet Apple Acres. I haven't been there in months." Pinkie said.

Derpy looked at Pinkiepie. "Your telling me that you've never left Sugar cube corner for months."

"Yep." Pinkie smiled.

"Do you have any idea what happened to the others?" Derpy asked.

"Nope." Pinkie smiled.

"Son of a bitch." Derpy looked around and saw Sweet Apple Acres. "I guess we're going to Sweet Apple Acres." Derpy sighed.

"Yay. Oh maybe Granny Smith will have an apple pie." Pinkie excitedly jumped.

"Pinkie don't be get your hopes up." Derpy started walking to Sweet Apple Acres. "They might have left already."

"Derpy can I ask you something?" Pinkie asked.

"Sure." Derpy replied.

"Can we got back to the Sugar cube corner for some cupcakes?" Pinkie asked.

"Fuck no." Derpy replied.

"Oh please, oh please, oh please." Pinkie begged.

"No means no Pinkie. We'll make some when we're at Sweet Apple Acre." Derpy responded.

"You promise?" Pinkie asked.

"I promise." Derpy replied.

"Pinkie promise?" Pinkie asked.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Derpy Pinkie promised.
