The Legend of Derpy Hooves

Unnoticed by the party crowd (Except for Big Macintosh) Derpy had disappeared from the party for quite a while. In fact, Derpy had slipped into the kitchen, opened the window in the kitchen, and jumped outside into the the freezing rain. She was currently shivering as she walked towards her home.

“Somepony, ANYPONY, please help me!” Derpy cried, “I’m sorry!”

She hoped Hasbro could hear her, but nothing happened, except the sky darkened, and more rain tumbled down. Derpy broke down entirely and fear built inside her. Derpy started to run towards her house, her hooves getting muddy and splashing in random puddles, drenching random ponies. When Derpy arrived at her home, it had vanished. Miss Sweetie was on the ground, her head ripped off.

“Miss Sweetie!” Derpy gasped staring at her favorite childhood doll.

“No, no, NO!” She said galloping towards Miss Sweetie. She picked it up and cradled it in her hooves. Barely a second had passed since Derpy had picked up her doll when it vanished with a puff of smoke. Derp looked at her hoofs and saw nothing. She curled up on the muddy ground and began to cry, fear washing over her like a large blanket of doom.

Ahem...

WARNING: I AM ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE.

*Insert sad music here*

Eventually Derpy got up and passed around through Ponyville, her head hung low. She looked up occasionally to stare at other ponies, without a care in the world, not about to be deleted. She muttered under her breath, and stared at her reflection in a dark window. She moved on to Sugarcube Corner and pressed a hoof on the glass to the party going on inside, wishing she could be there too, actually enjoying herself. She sobbed a little as she noticed the cake. In Mrs. Cake’s elegant handwriting was:

Farewell Derpy Hooves

Derpy galloped off, once or twice catching her wall-eyed reflection in puddles. Derpy eventually slowed to a trot as she entered the Ponyville Box Emporium. All it consisted of was boxes. Derpy searched in the Ponyville Box Emporium trying to find a suitable home for her. Eventually, Derpy found a large box, and wrote:

Muffin Home

In large, bolded letters. Then she found a copy of the old Ponyville Express, and placed it on the top of her box. Derpy dragged it too the place where her house had been and slid inside the box. Within seconds, water was dripping onto the floor of the box because the newspaper was so wet. Derpy curled up, wishing Miss Sweetie was here with her. Miss Sweetie just has a way of making her feel safe, but her doll was gone, where Derpy could not call it back. Tears came to Derpy’s eyes before she could stop them, but why wipe them away? Derpy let them fall, her lips pressed tightly together. Eventually, Derpy fell into a miserable sleep.

*Stop sad music*

In the human world, all Bronies and Pegasisters of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, became enraged about Hasbro’s decision. Many of them set to work, hoping to save Derpy Hooves of the horrors awaiting her when she was deleted from existence.....................

When Derpy awoke the next morning, she expected to be in bed with Miss Sweetie, but she was in her Muffin Home. Realization of what happened yesterday washed over Derpy and she began to cry again, fear blanketing her.

“Derpy!”

The sharp cry made Derpy sit up, her messy and unkempt mane brushing the top of the wet newspaper. Suddenly the soaking newspaper was ripped off and cast aside by some force. Twilight Sparkle’s head appeared above Derpy, grinning ear-to-ear. It was then that Derpy realized that Twilight Sparkle had used her telekinesis to lift the newspaper and cast it aside.

“Oh, hi. What do YOU want?” Derpy asked glumly, turning away from Twilight’s happy eager face.

“There is something you’ve got to see!” Was Twilight’s reply.

“What is it about?”Derpy asked, still not looking at Twilight.

“I can’t explain it,” Twilight said impatiently. She used her telekinesis to lift Derpy out of her Muffin Home and pulled her over to the library.

Soon they arrived, and the first thing Derpy saw was all of Twilight Sparkle’s friends.

“You brought Derpy to the library,” Rainbow Dash said incredibly, “Really?”

“Yes,” Twilight said, stopping Derpy from throwing open the door of the library and running off with the simple act of using her telekinesis to grab hold of the end of Derpy’s tail. Then she magicked a key over to the door of the library, and turned it in the lock.

“You’re locking her into the library with us?” Rarity gaped, “Darling, you surely can’t be serious!” Twilight looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

“Wee hoo!” Pinkie Pie said happily.

“No, not ‘wee hoo!’” Dash said, “Twilight just sealed our own demise!”

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight said warningly.

“She’ll knock over all the shelfs, sending us into a river of books!” Dash said, flying to a shelf full of books, and knocking it over, in an impersonation of Derpy. Derpy looked severely hurt.

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight said angrily, as her horn glowed pink and the shelf soared back to it’s original position, and the books whizzed back on the shelf.

“Or, or,” Dash seemed to be casting around for another random thing Derpy might do, “Derpy might bonk into Spike,” At this, Spike looked alarmed that he was being brought into the conversation as well, “And set the whole library on fire! Then we'll burn to death!” Dash bonked into Spike, trying to act like Derpy again, and green flames erupted from Spike’s mouth and torched the nearest book.

“Hey!” Twilight said indignantly, “I was using that!”

“Twilight, UNLOCK THE DOOR!” Rarity breathed.

“Actually, I don’t think you guys are being fair to Derpy,” Fluttershy murmured.

“Ah’m startin’ ter see Rainbow Dash’s point ya’ll,” Applejack pointed out, “Derpy’s a bull in a china shop! She’s gonna break every single thing in here.”

“Now, let’s not jump to any conclusions,” Fluttershy whispered.

“I for one think Derpy should be kicked out of the library,” Rarity proclaimed.

“See Twilight,” Dash said, “They get my point.”

“Well, what about Fluttershy!” Twilight argued, “You haven’t seen her perspective!”

“I for one think Derpy...” Fluttershy began quietly.

“And you haven’t seen Spike’s perspective yet!” Twilight interrupted, glaring at Rainbow Dash, “I think YOU should be the one kicked out! You torched the Reference Guide to the Elements of Harmony! You also knocked over a shelf I had organized in a very specific pattern! I have to start all over!” Dash looked sheepish.

“Stop right there!” Applejack cried, as she, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie rushed over in front of Rainbow Dash, “There ain’t no good reason for ya’ll ter kick Rainbow Dash out of the library!”

“This may be your home Twilight!” Rarity said indignantly, “But it does not mean you can so RUDELY kick somepony out of it!” Twilight’s horn glowed brightly in anger.

“Just give her a chance!” Twilight roared.

“Oh dear!” Fluttershy said in a small voice, and along with Derpy, both of them seemed to melt into the shadows.

“What has Derpy EVER done to you?” Twilight snarled, “Why can’t you give her a chance. She’ll be out of your manes in a few months! So WHY DON’T YOU LIVE WITH HER FOR A WHILE AND STOP BEING IGNORANT PONY HEADS!” Breathing heavily Twilight turned to the shadows in which Fluttershy was lurking, “What do you think Fluttershy?” Twilight demanded angrily. Fluttershy looked alarmed, but calmed soon enough.

“Well, I think that since Derpy will be deleted soon, that Rainbow Dash and the others should stop being so mean to her, and actually give her a chance!” Fluttershy said.

“Right, Spike? What do you think about this?” Twilight said, turning to the purple dragon who looked positively alarmed.

“I um...” Spike spluttered.

“Spit it out already!” Dash said.

“I think Derpy should stay ‘cause she doesn’t realize that she might have a chance,” Spike squeaked.

“A chance? A chance at what?” Derpy, hearing Spikes stutters, emerged from her shadowy corner.

“Twilight!” Spike looked pleadingly at her, and Twilight sighed. She used her telekinesis to open the shutters, illuminating the room in light. She magicked a large computer onto a table cluttered with books. Perching it precariously onto the table, Twilight turned the device on by pressing some sort of button with her nose.

“What is that?” Derpy asked approaching the computer.

“It’s called a computer,” Twilight explained, as her friends behind her looked amazed, “It’s a device that you can do so many things on, just hard to explain the basics. Well...”

“Hey Twi, can I use that sometime?” Dash interrupted. Twilight gave her a furious look, and continued.

“Starswirl the Bearded came up with this idea. Princess Celestia was very fortunate to come across this one if the Starswirl the Bearded wing when I started freaking out about the ‘disaster that never came.’ She sent it to me during one of the breaks we had in between the shows. I’ve kept it hidden ever since.”

“Does Hasbro know you have it?” Derpy asked stupidly. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Twilight rolled their eyes, knowing the obvious answer.

“No,” Pinkie Pie said dryly.

“OK!” Derpy gurgled brightly. The computer turned on and Twilight moved the mouse to the internet icon, and clicked it.

“What is that?” Derpy said, frowning at the mouse.

“Its called a mouse,” Twilight explained.

“A mouse?” Derpy said thinking, “Like, the thing that cats like to chase?”

“Thank GOODNESS Opal Essence doesn’t chase those horrid things,” Rarity shuddered.

“Or DOES she?” Pinkie Pie said mysteriously.

“Does she?” Rarity asked.

“I dunno,” Pinkie shrugged, which was an odd sight on a pony. Twilight glared at them, and continued explaining what a mouse was.

“In the book Celestia recovered from the Starswirl the Bearded Wing a mouse is what controls the little pointer thingy on the screen,” She said.

“Oh,” Derpy said, nodding. The internet had now booted up, and Twilight clicked on some online thing called Youtube. There she typed in ‘Save Derpy Hooves’ and hit enter on the keyboard. Only one video popped up.

“This is it!” Twilight said. After loading for a bit, it started to play, talking about how Derpy wasn’t bad, and how unfair Hasbro was being to Derpy. At the end of the video, Derpy just sat there with her mouth half open, staring at the screen.

“Alright video’s over!” Dash said, picking Derpy up by her wings again, and plopping Derpy outside after unlocking the door.

“Ah’d better head back ter the barn ya’ll,” Applejack’s voice came, “Rainbow, just leave the door unlocked fer me.” A second later, Applejack emerged from the library, trotting towards Sweet Apple Acres.

Over the course of time, more ‘save Derpy Hooves’ videos popped out on Youtube, including a ‘Save Derpy Hooves!’ website which you could sign, but nothing lifted Derpy’s spirits, and a dull hopelessness started to wind it’s way out of her heart and around her body. Nothing was seeming to happen to her, thought Derpy as she looked around at her beloved Ponville.

No, actually, nothing WAS happening.

Miss Sweetie hadn’t returned, whole and undamaged, and Derpy’s house still remained the Muffin Home, on the grounds of her old home which had mysteriously vanished. There were entire nights where Derpy would curl up in a small little ball inside her Muffin Home, and just cry as fear and pain flew inside her, like a small winged creature, trying to force itself out of her stomach.

One day, Derpy finally decided to ask for help from her fellow Ponyvillians. She searched the Ponyville Box Emporium again, and found a suitable box for her cause. There she cut until a large sign could be made.Derpy placed it (P.S, This is the kind of sign with a back you can adjust to whatever angle you want it) on the sidewalk by Sugarcube Corner, and a little tin next to it for money. Then Derpy borrowed a marker from Pinkie Pie, and wrote:

Save me!

-Derpy Hooves

Derpy drew her face next to the writing, but by the end of the day, Derpy had no money. Everypony in Ponyville just thought Derpy WANTED money.

“No, wait!” Derpy would try and explain, “Really, I’m going to be deleted from the show by Hasbro! Haven’t you guys seen the movie?”

The Ponyvillians would just look at Derpy skeptically, and trot away.

“Aww, come on sugarcube!” Applejack said as she and her friends (Rainbow Dash had mysteriously vanished) spotted Derpy by her sign, drawing frowny faces in the ground with her hoof, “You’re not gonna be deleted!”

“Tell that to Hasbro,” Derpy muttered, turning to her wall-eyed reflection in the Sugarcube Corner window.

“Well, actually, Hasbro is really considering bringing you back onto the show!” Twilight told Derpy who just gave Twilight a skeptical look, and turned away.

“Honest!” Fluttershy murmured, “We’ve been at Twilight’s house every day, and she’s been looking up Youtube, and there are so many videos now! Then we looked up Hasbro.com and it actually said that some of the workers at Hasbro wanted you back on to keep the fans of My Little Pony, but other workers aren’t so keen on the idea.”

“YAY!” Pinkie Pie screamed happily, “DERPY’S BACK ON!”

“Not really,” Twilight pointed out, “Lauren Faust, the producer and leader of our show is against Derpy. She’s going to delete her.”

“Great!” Derpy groaned, and plopped on the ground, sobbing.

“Come on now sugarcube!” Applejack said, “You ain’t got a thin’ ya’ll need ter worry about. They’ll get Faust ter see right. Yer not a bad pony ya’ll, and ya’ll jest need ter calm down. Ah’m serious.”

“Is there a problem Derpy Hooves?” Said a mild voice. The ponies turned around, and gasped.

“Doctor Whooves?” Derpy wondered. The doctor laughed.

“Yup!” The caramel colored pony said.

“Well, do you think you might solve Derpy’s horrible problem?” Twilight asked.

“Depends on what it is,” The Doctor said.

“Well...” Pinkie sucked in all the breath she could take, “Derpy’sgoingtobedeletedbyHasbroandsoTwilightheredecidedtotakeDerpyunderherwingsosheshowedDerpyhercomputer,andwentoawebsitecalledYoutube.ThenTwilighttypedin’SaveDerpyHooves!” Pinkie said quickly, “Thena ‘SaveDerpyHoovesthingpoppedoutonYoutube,onthecomputerPrincessCelestiagaveTwilightandwewatchedthevideo,butDerpy’sstillreallyupsetsomaybeyoucouldhelpherwithitandmakeherbehappyandsmileabunchagain,andjoinpartiesandnotdisappearfromthemfortheentiretimethatthepartyisgoingon,” Pinkie collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily from her rant.

“Pardon?” The doctor said, and Pinkie repeated what she just said, slower this time.

“Ohhhh!” The ponies said (Except for Pinkie) when Pinkie Pie was finished.

“Um, YEAH!” Pinkie huffed, her eyes narrowed angrily.
