Chapter 1: An Average Pony

Part 1

Chapter 1: An Average Pony

Derpy Hooves, a young Fillie looking for her Cutie Mark, lived in the old Ponyvile that we see today, but a little bit more Prehistoric. She was an only child, however, and she enjoyed that fact, unfortunately,  her parents died when she was too young to remember any of it, because of this her adopted parents were very much real to her, so she lived her days not knowing the absolute truth of her Childhood. As the years went on Derpy was passing through school and was almost off to flight school where she would learn the basics of flying, in which she had almost mastered herself, as well as how to control weather, you know, the things all Pegasus Ponies have to learn when they are growing up, Derpy was top of her class in school, a very smart Fillie, whom had ambitions to be the best in Ponyvile. However, one day, as she was walking home from school, she heard someone calling from her in the alleyways, so she decided to investigate against her bitter judgment, as she walked closer to the sound of someone calling for her, she started to realize this was a very, very bad idea. “Derpy” said the strange voice again, “Who’s there?” asked Derpy in a very serious tone, but the voice only responded with another “Derpy”, the sound of her name echoed through her, and she knew it would be best to just leave, but  something kept drawing her to the sound of this voice, so she continued on. The light began to dim away and away, in tell it became pitch black, there was a dim light ahead, she had no clue as to what it might be, but the next thing she heard would send her screaming, “You have strangers living in your home” said a voice almost on top of her, when she heard the last word, she ran screaming all the way back home, running in the door and shutting it as tight as could be. When her parents came trotting down to her, she told them about the mysterious voice in the dark alleyway, Mr. Hooves was extremely frustrated that she would go into a dark alleyway like that, but all she said was: “I was drawn there for some reason Daddy, I couldn’t help myself, but he said something that made me wonder…” her voice faded off as her parents gave her a worried look, however Mrs. Hooves was more relived that she was even still alive, but she told Derpy that “From now on, you must walk with some of your friends home, just in case this happens again Derpy”. At the sound of her mother’s voice saying such a thing, not realizing that she has very few friends at school, Derpy almost screamed, even though she was freaked out by this incident, she would be damned before she gave into such a prank. The next few weeks went on without incident, but she still had yet to find a friend to walk home it's as her mother requested, she had one friend, Star. Star was a Unicorn pony whose cutie mark looked like Twilights without the big star in the middle, she was greenish blue, she wanted to grow up and wield magic to manipulate stars, but Derpy thought that was impossible. When school ended, Derpy walked up to Star asking her; "Hey Star, can I ask you something?", With an interesting look Star replied, "Sure De, whatcha need?", Derpy hesitated a little before asking her "I ran into some stranger in an alleyway the other day and my parents want me to start walking with someone now, and your my best friend, so, you up for it?" Star gave her a puzzling look at first but then said "Sure, why not, it could give us more time to chat!"

Chapter 2: Truth & A Friend

Chapter 2: Truth & A Friend

About 3 months went by, Derpy and Star enjoying their walks, still having yet to encounter that strange pony again, but Derpy never forgot of the words that were said that day, she pondered that in her mind for all those months, and decided to approach her 'parents' and ask them if they really are her parents. When she got home she was greeted by her mom it's with a usual "welcome home honey!" but today Derpy said "mom, I have to Ask you and dad about something"  So she called Mr. Hooves, he came in with a grump, "Yes Honey" as he walked in, Derpy gave him a concerning look, knowing this might not be her real dad, she began to ponder in her mind as to what she would ask them, 'would I just flat out ask them if they are my real parents or not?' she began to ask herself. As they sat down, she took a deep breath and asked them "Mommy, Daddy, where are my real parents?" At the sound of that they both almost had a heart attack, it was only then she knew it was the truth, and they both knew it was time to tell her, so they began, " a long while ago when you were just a little Fillie, your real parents had come to us asking to take care of you, we didn’t understand why, but they seemed to be in trouble with someone, so we accepted, you see, we were already looking for a little Fillie to take care of, and they knew that. However as time went on, your real parents disappeared somehow, never to be heard from again, so in good heart, we kept you with us instead of sending you off somewhere…” Mrs. Hooves stopped; making sure Derpy was with her, “Sense then, we have been keeping you here, raising you as our own” Derpy, with a confusing look on her face, pondering what has been said in her mind. She decides she want to be alone, so she running out, she decides to take flight and spend time on some clouds, as she is climbing, she sees another Pegasus already sitting on a cloud. “You look sad” says Derpy looking at the sad Pegasus pony, “You shouldn’t be talking, looks like you just found out your life is a lie, kid” Says the Pony, “I like your main, how did you get it to be Rainbow colored”, asks Derpy, “I was born with it, names Rainbow Dash, and by the way, I’m not upset, I’m pissed off at being called a failure, because I can’t perform a stupid Sonic Rainboom…” says Rainbow Dash with a concerning look on her face. “Sonic Rainboom?” asks Derpy “Just something I came up with, were I can go faster than anything leaving a rainbow trail, but it’s like trying to move a cloud into a cliff”, Rainbow Dash, with a depressed look on her face, says “We should be friends some day, I don’t got a lot of them, and could use someone who understands my dilemma, What’s your name anyway?” Derpy, hesitating at first, thinking this might be that strange Pony she encountered in that alleyway, decides that she might just want a friend “Names Derpy” she replies, Dash chuckles and then laughs hysterically, trying to breath “Derpy, sounds like someone who delivers mail everyday!”, right then Derpy got a taste for Muffins, which she loves and always has loved, decides to ask Rainbow Dash if she could come over, “Sure why not, but you gotta keep up!” Rainbow Dash jumps off her cloud and speeds away so fast Derpy had to take a second to figure out what just happened, but when she clears her mind, she speeds off after Rainbow catching up fast, still remaining cautious of this strange Pegasus Pony she had just met, as she flies, she notices that Rainbow had already got her Cutie Mark, a Lightning bolt with a cloud on top, She asks rainbow as she catches up “Hey, how did you get your Cutie Mark?” through the roar of the wind Rainbow manages to speak up “When I first decided to try my luck at a Sonic Rainboom, I didn’t do it of course, but I did get this in the process, so I guess I still win”. After a little bit longer talking, the 2 reach Rainbows house, (the same house in the show) Rainbow Dash flies in calling for her parents, whom respond, her mother, Mrs. Dash, trots in “Welcome home Dashie, whose this?” Derpy, with an interesting look on her face, responds quickly “I’m Derpy M’am”, at the sound of that name again, Rainbow Dash breaks into a hilarious laughter, while Mrs. Dash asks Derpy about herself. A few more months went by without incident, Rainbow Dash became Derpies best friend, she introduced her to Star, one day, Derpy flew up to Rainbows house, and she saw her talking to a certain Yellow Pegasus. “Hey Dash, who’s this?” Asked Derpy, Rainbow, with a sudden response, knocked the yellow pony off her cloud house, and she fell, screaming like she couldn’t even fly, “Fluttershy flap your wings!” screamed Dash, but Fluttershy only kept screaming and falling, so Derpy and Dash had to chase after her, managing to catch her before she landed. They helped her down to the solid land, were she couldn’t fall again, Derpy approached the scardy Pony saying “Hi there, I’m Derpy, what’s your name?”, Fluttershy only shied away, Dash with a little Chuckle said “Ah don’t even bother De, took me months to get Fluttershy here to even talk to me, but it’s alright, she just doesn’t like people, only animals...”, Just then Derpies stomach rumbles, “Ugh, I got a taste for muffins again”, Dash with that confused look on her face replies “What’s with you and your stupid muffins?”. “I just like Muffins ok, and there not stupid!”, Dash, with an even more confusing look on her face, just shakes her head and says “ok then?”.

Chapter 3: Consequences

Chapter 3: Consequences

‘It’s been a few days sense I last visited Dash, but I think she is alright, worrying about her constantly won’t help feel better about her parents sudden disappearance, so to pass the time, decided to write down my thoughts, idea’s, and what’s going on in my life. Yesterday, Rainbow Dash’s parents suddenly disappeared, when she woke up that morning they were gone, so I offered to let her stay with me in tell they get back, but so far, they haven’t come back’. “My life is ruined, my parents left me!” Says Rainbow Dash with a horrified look on her face, “That’s not true Dashie, you know that. They probably went somewhere and forgot to tell you, it’s not like they would just leave there only daughter alone for the rest of her life”, ‘I tried my best to help Dash cheer up, but I still think this has something to do with that one Pony I encountered last year in that alleyway, but I never told Dash about it, didn’t want to upset her’. ‘Today after school, we went over to Dashies house to see if her parents had come over, but I’m not keeping my hopes up’, as Dash and Derpy entered the house, they both called for Mr. and Mrs. Dash, with no response they decided to just hang out. “Hey I am gonna’ go check upstairs” said Dash, with a hopeful look on her face, flew upstairs, while Derpy decided to look around just in case. As she walked in to their living room, she noticed a family picture with something on it, as she got closer she realized what it was, blood…

Just then she heard a scream from up stairs coming from Dash, she flew up there as fast as she could, one she got to Dashies room, she saw a horrified Rainbow Dash looking at something on the floor, 2 corpses; Mr. and Mrs. Dash. As Derpy walked in and noticed the bodies she quickly acted by covering Dashies eyes and helping her out of the house, hoping she hasn’t been mentally scarred the rest of her life, as she pondered ‘who could have done such a thing, and why to Rainbow Dash? while I was trying to ponder the situation, my little Fillie friend was bursting into tears, which made me start crying as well, for some reason, I felt as if this was my fault, and I couldn't help but try and make her feel better...', "Rainbow, I'm so sorry, if I ever find out who did this, I will kill them!",at the reassurance of her friend, Rainbow Dash felt a little better, despite the fact that she was an orphan now, as soon as Derpy and Dash got home, Derpy asked her mother if she could 'adopt' Rainbow Dash into the family, this made her felt a little strange, because she too was adopted, but at Rainbow had a good friend, no, Sister, like Derpy.

About 12 years later, Rainbow Dash and Derpy had become the best sisters ever, they both passed the flight exam with flying colors, but this was before Rainbow had ever met any of her 5 future friends other than Fluttershy. It was an ever age day in Ponyvile, Rainbow and Derpy were clearing the sky, Dash saw someone entering her house, "De, some pony is robbing my house!", Derpy flew over to Dash and they agreed to check out the situation, when they got there, Dash entered the house fast....... 'once we entered the house, the thief jumped out at us and muffed dash with a bag over her head, I tried to help, but this stallion was strong, and he took me with him, I screamed for dash, she responded, and I just knew something bad was going to happen.

Chapter 4: Captured

Chapter 4: Captured

When I woke up, I found myself in my room, I looked over to find Derpy, still passed out, thinking to myself 'great my parents were murdered now I am gonna be killed!' I just hope they let Derpy leave; she doesn't need to see her own sister be murdered in cold blood! I was lying there for about ten minutes before I got up, when I came fully to, I noticed I couldn't fly, when I looked back I noticed blood dripping off my side, however couldn't see my wing, I trotted over to Derpy, whom was still unconscious, I looked to make sure she was ok, and I was happy to see there was no scares or wounds. I managed to wake her up, with a groan she lifted her head, "ugh, what.......happened?" when she saw me, she had a sudden horrified look, I braced myself for the worse, "your wing, it's........." my heart started to beat faster, "spit it our De, I can handle it, I hope", with a concerned look, she finally said "it has a giant bloody hole in it sis". Honestly I was expecting something a lot worse, like it was gone or something, but I still almost had a heart attack, I was however relived to know it wouldn't be permanent, and with Derpies reassurance, I felt a hell of a lot better.

I tried to help Dashie feel better, and even though she could feel all the pain that came with the injury, I still was more concerned with getting out of this place, as soon as I could get up, I immediately asked Dashie what the best way out of her house was, "only way out is downstairs, the living room", I had an anger attack, now they were trying to I'll Dashie herself! So, we tiptoed out of Dashies room, got all the way into the living room, but as we were just at the door leading outside, the pony who had taken us hostage jumped out and grabbed Dash, at that moment I knew it was all over. While she was struggling and screaming, another pony came out of nowhere and grabbed me. They both knocked us out, and the last things I remember is seeing them through me into a small room and take Dashie away somewhere. When I awoke, I found myself in that same room, still alone, I felt a very painful crack in my left wing, I realized it was broken, snapped almost in half, the pain was almost unbearable, I sat there for a few minutes before one of the ponies brought Dashie and threw her on the floor, noticing that she was twitching I went over to her to see what was wrong, but she looked physically fine, so I tried to help her up, asking her “What in the world did they do to you sis?”, at first, she just looked at me with a horrified expression, as I  tried to help her calm down, she finally was able to speak, appearing to be mentally scarred, “They took me into a room, asked me some questions, mostly about robbing the house and stuff, then they asked about you, but when I thought they were done, one of them grabbed me……..then they……they……”  realizing whatever they did had caused so much confusion and terror in her, I helped her calm down once more, only to be stunned and disgusted at the next few words that she said “they raped me!"

My emotional trauma was through the roof as I tried to tell Derpy what they did to me, but when I finally managed to tell her, she was horrified, however they left us alone the rest of that night, as we tried to get some sleep, I was up all night just living in that hell on a moment, as it went on for a couple of hours while they just had their way with me, however I didn’t let sis get into any of these thoughts as I knew they would just destroy her, but through the hole night I was hoping they wouldn’t take De away too. However when I woke up in the morning,she was gone, my first thought was panic, but I remained calm, as I was more worried about them killing her, I thought to myself 'don't worry dash, they didn't kill you, why would they kill De'. I was relived yet angered when they brought Derpy in, she looked even worse then I was, however, the stallions didn't leave, they brought Derpy and I out to the living room, when we got there, one of the stallions started "You know what we look like, but if you EVER tell ANYONE what happened here, we will find you, but to ensure you two that we're telling the truth, we are going to have to hurt one of you and leave you scared the rest of your lives, who shall it be", I thought to myself 'what bastards, there going to hurt us to make sure we won't tell anyone, even though I just knew Derpy wouldn't accept me being hurt, I volunteered "if your going to hurt someone, hurt me!", they both looked and me, Derpy was in to much pain to really notice, and then the other said "well, we usually hurt the one who IS afraid of pain" then they both looked at Derpy, realizing that she was the one who had to suffer the pain of torture.

At first they just stood there, looking at her and tried to decide what to do, then one of them spoke up "lets destroy her mind and turn her into a mentally impaired retard!", the former agreed and then they started to beat Derpy senseless, painfully making me watch, the rapped her once more while they destroyed what sense she had left, and once they were done, the lead stallion decided to rip out both of her eyes, and replace them in either socket, making her scream in agonizing pain. Once they were done she was a completely different Derpy, blind, retarded, and was now almost dead, they came over to me, and warned "don't make us do this to you, go find about 5 other friends and completely ignore her, like you didn't even know her.

Chapter 5: Loosing a Sister & Fillie Magic

Chapter 5: Loosing A Sister & Fillie Magic

When they finished their demands, they picked me and Derpy up and brought us to the edge of my cloud home, "but just to be sure" said one of the stallions, "we hope you enjoy your ride!", at the sound of his laughter, I just knew he wasn't bluffing, his hysteria was becoming a nuisance, then as he finished his laughing, he took both of us, and hurled us right off the face of the cloud, we both started screaming, I couldn't fly with this damned bloody hole in my wing, so I was hopeless, as I was falling I saw Derpy managed to build up the energy and courage to flap her wings, but being blind, she just grabbed me, following the sound of my screams, and started flapping g to hold us still. She flapped her wings with all her might, clearly extremely painful, but she managed to get us to a stop, I called up to her"thanks sis" however Derpy got an aggravated look on her face, "I'm not your sister anymore" she said with a different sounding voice, less......smart.

After managing to find solid ground, I let rainbow dash down, then took off as fast as I could, I felt physically like I was run over by princess celestia herself, and then ripped apart by her magic, but mentally, I was not any less my old self, other then a few scarred memories, and now, I knew if I kept hanging around Dash, they would be back,  as well if I acted like my normal smart self, so from this day on, I have to be dumb, which I shall resent but, I do it only to protect Rainbow, I hope she will have a normal life... I managed to make it to a hospital, when I got there I was brought into the ER mostly because my face was covered in blood, their not even sure how I didn't pass out, but I guess 'tis just will power. They fixed me up, but my eyes had to stay crooked, I could see again however, and when whey released me, I set out for home, to live my life again, but I took a doctors note with me, saying I had an "accident" and was now mentally retarded, even though I wasn't looking foreword to the experience, I was however, happy Dash would be ok, I hope...

I ended up dozing off for about an hour or so, somehow managed to not bleed to death, my wings wound was doing better though, the bleeding stopped, and the pain had past. I was irritated to hell that Derpy just left me out in the middle of no were, I managed to get up and stumble around a bit, the pain of being an only child with out her parents was unbearable. I walked all the way back into Ponyvile, as Derpies flight took us near the Everfree, I made my way to the hospital, got some help for my wing, and decided to take off looking for Derpy.

"Come on, you can do it Twilight!" screamed Spike, a young dragon who was still a newborn, just learning how to talk, cheering on his dear friend Twilight Sparkle whom hatched him. Twilight was a Unicorn Pony with amazingly powerful magic, at the time she was still trying to stretch her magic out, seeing what she can do with it. Right now Twilight is trying to move a few books around with it, having little luck....

I thought moving books would be easy, seeing as their so small, but for some reason, I was having a seriously hard time with it. I wanted to improve my magic skills to impress the princess, but I wasn't really making any progress, but Spike kept cheering me on. Spike was the best friend I could ever ask for, he cheered me up when I was down, he made me laugh. And at heart, he was almost like my little brother. I was trying to improve my magic to impress the princess because she had selected me as her very own student! I was extremely exited when she choose me out of hundreds of other ponies, just the thought of being the princess's student sets me off, I hadn't even realized my loss of thought was causing me to lift every signal book in that library, when I finally came too, I was startled, at first thinking who could possibly be doing this, but when I stopped using magic, all the books fell with a loud crash. Spike, who was staring at me with an 'i can't believe it' look, said "how did you even do that twi?" Honestly I couldn't even figure it out myself, so I gave no reply other then a mumbled "I'm not sure", I pondered the situation in my mind for about a half hour. Spike, whom had the ability to send a message to the princess, had told her about the situation. And even though I didn't take much notice, I did however realize that my loss of thought was what caused me to preform such a height of magic I didn't even know was plausible at my young age, I didn't contradict the fact that could very well be that powerful in the art of Unicorn magic. Of course I had no intent to show off, but I did take pride into account and enjoyed my impressive display, I still remained offhand about the whole phenomenon of my sudden extremely powerful magic and control, but decided to just hand it over to fate and lay to rest on the subject.

My search for Derpy was uneventful and unsuccessful, I checked far and wide, high and low, the only place I hadn't gone was Canterlot, even though I doubted Derpy would go there, I had to check anyway, however I couldn't fly with my bandaged wing, so I had to get on the railroad leading up the mountain. When I got there, I went up to the strange mare who I assumed handed out all the tickets...

"I need one ticket for Canterlot please", the mare just gave this strange little rainbow colored maine fillie a peculiar look and said "sorry but you need to be a little bit older to ride the train to Canterlot alone, where are your parents?"

"Ya about that..." Rainbow Dash trailed off, knowing if she told her the truth she would call the cops and she would spend the rest of her life in a flightless prison, said

"There in Canterlot"

"Then why are you all the way out here?"

"um... I was visiting my... Sister" Rainbow Dash was literally bullshitting her way through this, but as Lying goes, she was a master at it.

"What's her name?"

"umm, T...." the sun started to set, and it sparked an idea in her mind

"Twilight....,Sparkle!" Not realizing that was a real pony, she gave a concerning look to the mare, but she simply smiled and let her on to the train.
