One year ago...."Happy Birthday to me" I said to myself as I lay on my bed covered by my blanket I was looking at the alarm and set it for 10:00 am the next morning, It would be December 4'th my Birthday. I was alone at home it was a cold December morning and I had gone to bed at 12'o clock PM. I was sleeping when someone started pounding on my door *Pound Pound Pound* came from my family's front door in the living room. I was wide awake now and looked over at the nightstand next to my bed, it was flashing 6:00 and I was pissed because I had set the alarm for ten' o clock this morning. I had gotten up out of bed when the pounding suddenly got louder and louder. I was furious now because I had wanted to sleep in on my Birthday. I was putting on my robe when the pounding got louder and I had yelled from my room in a voice of anger "Enough I am coming just quit the fucking pounding"!!!! That made the person stop pounding and I stopped the the front door and unhooked the chain we used to keep unwanted guest out at night. I opened it to see a old looking officer standing there looking worried. He had gray hair, deep brown eyes, a good smile, and could make anyone happy where ever he went. I looked at him and noticed he was holding the morning paper and on the front was the being of a couple of words that where hard to make out but I knew what the first two said "Bad accident". I had noticed that he was holding it close to his chest and keeping most of the front covered. Weird I though to myself. He only came when he wanted to chat with my parents. He looked like he wanted to say something so I let him in to our home. He sat down on the couch and I sat in the chair facing towards the couch. He looked upset about something. He looked at me and held out the newspaper for me to see. I had grabbed the newspaper from his hand when I read what was on the front page I started to tear up he hugged me as I let he newspaper drop from my hand. It had in big bold letters "BAD ACCIDENT ON CHEERY ROAD. FAMILY OF SIX FOUND DEAD BODIES STILL BEING IDENTIFIED". I had seen my family's van in the picture in knew it was them and that they had departed from the world for good. I was upset because they would never come back into my life and I was all alone. Present....Damn it why did my birthday have to come tomorrow. I was still living in my home. It had started to snow and earlier in the night so I went outside to shovel. It had been hard year for me. I had been left alone after the funeral of my family. People tried to help but I ignored them, I pushed them away because it had been hard. I was now 5'7 feet. with gray and white hair it started to turn that way after the funeral, my eyes looked empty lifeless almost, I had gained little weight because I did not eat much. People left me alone and I liked it like that though it was peaceful but lonely all by myself. I had gotten done shoveling when I heard a voice from behind me. "Hi Chris almost that time of the year again." It was my friend Rob he was annoying at times but was awesome man. He was nice to people even when they did not deserve his kindness. He help me out a lot through out the year. He just walkend smiled and went around the coroner to do some charity work. I walked back inside and looked int he mirror and noticed that my eyes still looked hallow and that my hair was a mess. I would fix it later I thought to myself. I had walked into the living room and noticed that their was a cake with a single candle and a card. It had my name on it. "Weird no one had come into the house because I would have noticed them but oh well free cake I guess and a card addressed to me." I walked to the couch and sat down picking up the cake and blew out the candle "I wish my Birthday will be better tomorrow" with that I blew out the candle and started to eat the cake. It was chocolate cake one of my favorite flavors. I got done eating the cake and picked up the letter. It said "Happy Birthday Chris May your wish come true. I was starting to get tired so I laid down on the couch. I wrapped a blanket around me and fell asleep very quickly that day. I woke up the next morning to a crash coming from the kitchen. I woke up "What the Fuck was that"!!! I shouted. Out of the kitchen came a gray pony, with a yellow mane and flour all over her. I recognized her at that moment. "Derpy hooves? What the Fuck is a pony doing in my house?" I was trying to figure it out when she walked back out into the kitchen and bought out two plates each with a muffin on them. She smiled as she set the plates on the table and looked at me with a smile. I looked at her and was amazed as she leaned her heads towards me. I touched her main and nearly screamed out in joy because here was Derpy Hooves in my house on my Birthday. Maybe today would not be too bad. She jumped out of the chair and went into the bathroom to get cleaned up and after she was done with that she sat next to me not saying anything about the mess in the kitchen or the fact that she was here in my home. I never in one year had been so happy to see someone in my home again. She picked up her muffin and started to eat it and I did the same after we got done she looked at me and said "Happy Birthday friend" I screamed in joy and fell behind the couch and started laughing I was happy to hear myself laugh again, it felt good to laugh. Then I got back up and noticed that Derpy was laughing too and I started to laugh again. I was happy after all of last year I had finally laughed and smiled again. I sat down next to Derpy and asked "how did you get here Derpy? She replied "You wished for it and here I am to spend the day with you." I smiled and we spent the day playing games and laughing until it had begun to turn to night and Derpy had to say goodbye "Goodbye Derpy" I said. She hugged me and said "Happy Birthday Buddy" and with that she vanished in a light and I went into my room and sat down a picture of me and Derpy laughing as we where covered in floor from making more muffins. I let her take some home and she gave me some to keep. I laid down in my bed and whispered to myself" Thank you Derpy hooves and with that I fell asleep.
