It was a rainy morning as Rainbow Dash stood there at Derpy's grave. She was the only one to show up to the funeral. Applejack was horrified by the news, crying into her stetson, she couldn't come because Apple bucking season was starting. Granny Smith and Applebloom, didn't know what had happened, they didn't need to know what happened. Big Mac felt the worst. It was his words that had led her to her final decision. Rainbow Dash thought back to the night before.

Rainbow Dash had just gotten back to the farm. She had tears running down her face. "Sugarcube, What happened?" asked Applejack who ran outside to her marefriend.

"It's Derpy, Sh-she's dead." Rainbow Dash cried, holding onto her marefriend.

Applejack took off her Stetson. "No, tha- that can't be." A tear came to Applejack's eye. "How did she die?"

"She hanged herself." Rainbow Dash sobbed, pulling out the letter. "She wrote this."

Applejack took the letter and silently read it. Applejack didn't finish the letter, she dropped it and cried into her stetson.

Big Mac saw this and ran outside to his sister and Rainbow Dash. "What happened, sis?" Rainbow Dash looked up at him. "Did we find Derpy?"

Rainbow Dash reached up and smacked Big Mac with her hoof. "How dare you try and act like you care!" She growled.

Big Mac felt his face where Rainbow Dash struck him. Fury shot through him. "What the HELL was that for!" Applejack looked up. This was the first time she had ever heard him swear. Big Mac looked down at his sister. "Go inside now."

"But-"

"NOW" Big Mac screamed, he was never known to lose his temper. Applejack hurried inside and shut the door. Big Mac now faced a furious Rainbow Dash. "What the HELL is your problem!"

"You, you are the problem." Rainbow Dash spat, picking up the letter. "Derpy loved you and you just cast her aside."

"Celestia Dammit, I don't like her. I thought I cleared everything up." He screamed at her.

"Well, does this clear it up for you?" She lifted the letter to his face. His face changed to curiosity as he reluctantly took the letter. Reading the letter, A tear came to his eye. "You set her off." He finished the letter and looked at Rainbow Dash. "You killed her." He stared at her, a tear streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

Rainbow Dash left him looking on as she walked past him to the house. "Well, a lot of good your sorry will do now..." Rainbow Dash walked into the house and slammed the door behind her.

Big Mac stared off into the distance for a while before walking off into Ponyville. He came back later in the night, drunk. He stumbled through the house and went to bed, not waking up until after the funeral occurred.

______________________________________

Rainbow Dash stood, Sobbing silently beside the mare who was one of her best friends. It hurt Rainbow Dash, thinking that in her final moments, Derpy had felt unloved. That she was unwanted and a failure. That she was just known as the mare with the googly eyes, the mare who couldn't do anything right. Ponies had always felt that something was wrong with Derpy, when really it was a problem with them. They were the problem. Rainbow Dash was there as they lowered the coffin. She threw in a beautiful red rose.

"Goodbye, Derpy Hooves"
