D.E.R.P.Y.H.O.O.V.E.S.

Two weeks later...

Derpy Hooves and Carrot Top got a letter from Celestia herself. It read:

Dear Reapers of Justice,

It has come to my attention that you two have been through some tough times. As a reward for surviving (sort of) such a dangerous mission, I am calling you to meet me at the Canterlot Palace, where you will be debriefed. I expect you at your convenience.

-Princess Celestia.

"Wow, she wants us to come back?" Derpy smiled. Carrot looked up at her hovering friend and grinned, "Get your plushie, Muffin, we're going on a train ride." And on a train ride they went. During the three hour ride to Canterlot, Carrot thought a lot about the past events, and even smiled at some of the happier memories. She also thought a lot about how undershocked she was when she heard Derpy say that her early adulthood friend for years had not died off during the five years she was locked away. Aqua had also made herself more known in the community, by Derpy's friend, Dr. Whooves. He had created a body and needed a conciousness to test it with. Said body became Aquaswirl's new form. They called her Caramel Apple, after Applejack's family accepted her.

The train arrived, and Celestia, of all ponies, was there. "Well, you knew we were coming?" Carrot cocked her brow. Celestia shook her head, and replied, "No, I came here to go to Ponyville and meet with the Element Bearers. But, since you're here, I might as well give you your reward." Her horn flashed, and that was it. Nothing happened, at least to Carrot and Derpy's point of view. "You'll thank me later." Celestia smirked. She spread her wings downward to wrap around the two ponies, and laughed, "Let's get you two home."

Three hours and fifteen minutes later back in Ponyville...

"Hey! Carrot, come look!" Derpy giggled excitedly. Carrot knew exactly what Derpy was uncontrollably giggling at... Celestia had given them wings and horns, making them official alicorns. However, Carrot found a way to make Derpy's horn seem invisible, as well as Carrot's horn and wings. And yes, Carrot was giggling uncontrollably as well. The next day the Ponyville Garbage Disposal team came by to clean up the large amounts of carrots and muffins found around Ponyville... And no pony except the Princesses of Muffins and Carrots knew why.

The End

Or was it?

Nope, there's still more story left. Carrot thought back on how Derpy got her name, and sent Celestia a message asking her what information Derpy had stored in her mind. She got a reply back, but it wasn't what she was expecting:

Dear Carrot Top,

That information is non-existant. I did that so Aqua would be safe. Also, I knew that Derpy was going to be attracted to you. She'll come around in due time.

- Princess Troll-estia

P.S. Did you like that nickname? I came up with it myself.
