The Fire In Us All

I wake up from bed, my eyes having to change to get used to the light. It was going to be the best day at school ever: Take your parents to school day. I quickly got out of bed, and walked out to the kitchen.

There was the one pony who kept me going: My mom, Ditzy Doo. She was on a break from her mailmare job now, making me breakfast before flying out again to finish the job.

"Hey mom!" I said, embracing my mom. Ditzy looks down at me, and smiles. "Hello there, Dinky. Come on, I made you your favorite breakfast." My mom said, nuzzling my neck. "Oh yay! Muffins!"  I said. We both went to sit down on the table.

We sat there, and we enjoyed our muffins. "So mom, are you going to come with me to Take Your Parents To School Day!" I said, super excited.

"Dinky, I promised I would, but I have to make a few deliveries first. I'll be there by recess." Derpy said. That made me a little dissapointed, but I shrugged it off. The clock rang, and that ment time for school. "Okay mom, love you!" I said, kissing my mom on the cheek. "Love you too, Dinky." Derpy said.

I grabbed my saddlebags, and headed out the door. Derpy stopped me for a second, and I asked," Mom, who is my dad?"

Derpy stopped for a second, and looked down at me," I will tell you tonight, how about that? For now, I'll tell you this. When your true potential is unlocked, It'll show itself."

It was a nice sunny day in Ponyville, and everyone was out and about, doing ... well, whatever they were doing. I saw the one of three friends I actually had, one of them being my mom: Spike. I trotted over to him.

"Hey Spike!" I said, walking next to him. "Oh, hey Dinky. Where's Derpy?" Spike said. "She has to make a few deliveries before she can come. But she'll be here by recess!" I said, smiling.

"Oh Spike, who is this?" A purple unicorn like me, only slightly darker in color said, who I guess was Spike's parent for the day. "Twilight, this is Dinky, Derpy's daughter. Dinky, this is Twilight, my caretaker, who I like to think of as my big sister." Spike said.

Wait, Derpy has a daughter? Why didn't I know about this?" Twilight said. "Did you ever ask?" I said, chuckling. "Well no, but ... oh forget it. Nice to meet you Dinky." Twilight said, holding out a hoof. I shook it," The pleasure is all mine." I said.

"RETARD!" One of the ponies said as he passed me. Twilight saw this, and instantly looked at me, a worried look in her face. "Dinky, are you alright?" Twilight said. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I said, confused.

"Well, that pony just," Twilight said, but I interrupted her," Oh that. It's okay, I got used to it. Just because my mom is cross - eyed, were different from every other pony, I guess." I said, sighing.

When your true potential is unlocked, It'll show itself.

Twilight smiled, and said," You are a really brave filly, you know that?" I can't wait to see you at your full potential." I looked at her, and smiled.

All three of us walked in to the classroom, and Cheerilie said,"Alright everypony, take a seat at one of the round tables today." Everyone went to go get a seat, and I sat all the way in the far back corner, like usually.

"Uh, Dinky, where is Ditzy today?" Cheerilie said. Everypony turned to look at me. "She had to deliver some mail beforre she could come. She'll be here by recess." I said. Now I heard someponies laughing in the room.

When your true potential is unlocked, It'll show itself.

"Of course, the blank flank's retarded mom didn't show up." Diamond Tiara said. I held in my anger, and Spike and Twilight came over to sit with me. "Oh, Well these activities are meant for families to do. Why don't you draw something while we do this." Cheerilie said.  I nodded, and pulled out a notebook.

I began to doodle, and soon began thinking about my dad. "Who was he?" I thought to myself. I began drawing a picture of my family. When I was done, I saw magic envelop my notebook, and the notebook flew to Diamond Tiara.

"Oh look, Dinky wants to know who her father is!" She said laughing. Many other kids, and even some parents, began to laugh as well. I only layed my head on the table, telling myself not to cry, my anger still rising. Spike embraced me, and I was shocked. He looked at me, and said," It's alright. She's just stupid."

When your true potential is unlocked, It'll show itself.
