The Two Pegasi

                                                  A beautiful white Pegasus with a silky blue mane flew through the clouds, making them disappear into thin air. Her emerald green eyes glistened in the sunlight.

  " Hey!" Said a voice in the distance. The mare turned her head. Flying behind her was a sleek gray stallion with a short blonde mane. She wasn't looking where she was going, because her wings kept flapping and she crashed into a building. She fell to the ground, feeling dizzy.

The stallion approached her, looking worried. "Are you alright?" He asked. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to make you lose your focus."

    "It's ok.." Said the mare, shaking dust from her coat. "My name's Fast Fury, by the way." The stallion stated.

"Nice name." Said the mare, smiling. "I'm Ice Flyer." Fast Fury knew he had an instant crush on the mare.

Ice was a racer. She loved to race other pegasi, and she would more than likely win. She loved to fly and sometimes daydreamed of being part of the famous Wonderbolts. Fury was a weather pony. He cleared the skies, and all that flying was his excersise.

Little did these two pegasi know, that they would soon bear the pony that we all know and love.

After a while, the two pegasi met more often. One day, Ice was in a race, and Fury was helping clear the sky. They ran into each other after the race. Ice had zoomed up to the sky, and Fury had just kicked a cloud away, and Ice ran smack into Fury. Her wings went limp and she started to fall. Fury zoomed down and picked her up, setting her gently on a cloud. "

You saved me! Thank you!" Ice squealed, her eyes widening.

"No problem!"

The two pegasi immediately hit it off. They eventually told eachother about the love for the other. Then, they started dating for real.

One day, Fury asked Ice for her hoof in marriage, and she of course said yes.

A few months later, Ice had given birth to a mare. She had the same gray coat and blonde mane as her father, as well as the same yellow eyes, but with one difference: Her eyes were always crossed. She was born with a mental disability. They had named her "Ditzy" by the way she was always going in the opposite direction of what she was told to do. They decided to add "Doo" to the end of it.

Derpy's Childhood

                                                                 Ice and Fury were both a bit nervous at Ditzy's first day of school. They trotted along with her the whole way there. When they got there, they told her to just have fun and ignore any bullies.

"Ok!" Ditzy replied happily. She nuzzled her parents one last time and walked to the door. She tripped a little on the stairs, but she never fell down completely. Ice and Fury left when they saw that Ditzy was fully in the classroom.  Ditzy fell repeatedly, and most of the kids snickered. She blushed of embarrassment every time it happened. She finally sat down at her desk, and class began.

At recess, Ditzy played happily in the sand box with her toys she had brought in her saddle bag. Suddenly, she heard a giggle behind her. She heard somepony say something.

   She could make out, "Her eyes are SOO weird!" Ditzy frowned. She turned around. She saw a group of two filly mares. One was a neon pink with a neon rainbow mane and tail. The other was  white and black with a gray mane and tail.

"T-There's nothing wrong with my eyes! It's not my F-Fault!" Ditzy said in an adorable high-pitched voice. The pink mare rolled her icy blue eyes.

  "There is DEFINETELY something wrong with your very, dare I say... derpy eyes!" She sneered. An evil-looking grin spread across the black-and-white filly's muzzle.

  "That's what we can call you!" She said with a bit of a giggle. "Derpy. Derpy.. Hooves! With you being so clumsy!" The two fillies laughed maniacally. A huge frown spread across Ditzy's face. Tears stung her bright yellow eyes. She turned around, feeling very hurt.   Then the pink filly said into Ditzy's ear, "I'm Rainbow Needle.  And that's White Shadow.Don't forget that." Then she trotted off, laughing evilly again. Ditzy rushed to a tree far away from the playground and began to cry.

"I...I just don't know what went wrong..."

Rainbow Needle and Shadow had managed to get Ditzy's new nickname around. She remembered what her mother had said on the first day of school , and just decided to live up to her new name. She didn't mind it very much anymore. She actually did think it was funny. She didn't deny, she WAS clumsy, and she knew that her eyes where weird, but what could she do? She ignored Rainbow Needle and White Shadow, although it was super hard. She would sometimes talk back to them or just roll her eyes -the best she could. She had met a few friends, though. A colt named Doctor Hooves, and another colt named Wrench. Ditzy had also gotten her cutie mark. She had become an assistant mail mare. One day, she found a bottle of Bubbles. She tried it out. She was apparently extremely good with them, because after a while of playing with them, she had earned her cutie mark. A pattern of bubbles lining her flank. She didn't quite know what it meant, but she knew she would  try live up to it.

Teenage years

Ditzy grew up to be fairly successful. She became a mail mare of Ponyville, and she had made some new friends. She even "helped" in a celebration of Ponyville's "hero" at that point, Applejack. Although she didn't really help at all, and just made a big mess, she was still happy to help.
