The next few days around The Castle Of Friendship were calm. Mostly quiet and boring, but they also had times of mischief. Spike had let Dinky read some comics, and within the next hour she attempted to be a superhero, by.....jumping off the roof. Luckily, she landed on Twilight while she was walking to the market, Spike got an earful that day.

“You should’ve watched her better!”, Twilight lectured The now adolescent dragon.

Anyway, the third day was quite significant, as this was the day that Twilight held her weekly friendship meeting with the other Elements Of Harmony. The others walked in, only to notice Derpy reading a book on the sofa. Safe to say, they had some questions.

“How long she been here Twi’?, asked Applejack.

“About 4 days, give or take”, Twilight said.

Derpy simply waved with a shy smile.

“Has she made a mess?”, asked Rainbow Dash while eyeing Derpy.

“No, Rainbow. Actually, she’s been a good helping hand, recently”, Twilight said while grinning at Derpy.

Derpy blushed and grinned back.

“Have you baked muffins? Cause’ I love muffins!!”, exclamed Pinkie Pie, bouncing while she spoke.

“Not yet, but I wouldn’t mind it”, Twilight said.

Derpy nodded to that, she was hungry.

“Does she have anything good to wear?”, asked a very concerned Rarity.

“I’m.....afraid not. At least not yet, sometime soon maybe?”, she asked to Derpy.

Derpy just shrugged.

But it was Fluttershy who asked the most important question,

“Umm....why is she staying here? I-I mean if you wouldn’t care to answer”, she asked, hiding behind her mane.

Twilight sighed and began telling the tale. The other Elements faced and emotions changed upon hearing the news.

“Poor thing, Nopony should have to go through that, sorry Derpy”, Applejack said with a sorrowful look.

“Oh jeez, I uh.......wow”, Rainbow said, struggling for words.

“Oh you poor thing! I would hate that to happen to me or my friends “, Pinkie said while embracing the gray Pegasus.

Derpy embraced back, appreciating the concern.

“Oh my heavens! Is their anything I can do, darling?”, Rarity asked hopefully.

Derpy shook her head.

“Oh....everything will get better, Derpy. I know so”, Fluttershy said with rare confidence.

“Thanks Everypony for your kind words, it means a lot, but really, I’m fine. Sure, I lost a lot, but I gained so much more”, she said while smiling at Twilight.

The 7 seven mares embraced, sometimes blessings can come in the form of tragedy.
