To belong to nothingness

Five days before the arrive of Distortion.

There is a hard-working farmer pony with a splendid and wavy orange mane in Ponyville, named after her profession and her ability: Golden Harvest

Golden Harvest, Carrot top for her friends, is the carrot farmer of the little ville, and she is one of the most experts on her role: she is completely devoted to the productivity of her farm. Every morning, during the Harvest season, she wakes up early and gets ready for her duty as soon as the sun shows its rays. "Another day of hard work." She thinks "I thank the life for being so nice with me."

As soon as she gets up, she walks through the corridor of her house and sees a room with the door opened. She slides slowly in order to enter the room. She sees a grey, blonde mare sleeping over the bed, and hugging a pale purple filly, who is sleeping too. "Hey, Derpy! You should wake up. Have you forgotten that it isn't sunday yet?"

The grey pegasus slowly raises her head and watches the carrot-lover, with her special trait: the crossed eyes. She speaks some words, if well these are random, Golden is used to them: "What? Muffins? Where?". Golden looks at her and laughs a bit, then, she answers: "Not yet! you must bake them"

Derpy Hooves, the mailmare, gets up and leaves the little filly sleep on her bed. She seems like any other pegasus except for her crossed eyes. "Hey, Crossy" Says Golden, "What will you do when you're back at home?". Derpy replies, "I guess i could help you with harvesting". Golden smiles, "That would be so nice from you. Thanks, my friend."

As soon as she finished her sentence, the sound of a growl, a loudly one, crosses the room. "That must be Amethyst" Says the orange-mane, "Should you wake her up?". Derpy answers with calm, "Nah, i think i'm going to let her sleep, Anyway, it's saturday.", Golden replied, and ended the conversation. "Well, let your two daughter sleep, I'm going to cook the breakfast"

Soon as she said it, she left the grey mare and went to te kitchen, searching for bowls and some cereals. "Derpy would love them! Mmmhh... Wait, where did i put the muffin-chocolate flavored one?". And so, the morning went on with Golden looking for the lost cereal box on her cupboards, wondering where she has putted it.

Along with the search, she could remember when they became cohabitants.

Burning, that was how her house was. It was charred by the flames. What went wrong isn't known, but of course, no one can live on a house while it is blazing. But, why was Derpy Hooves living on a house over the land, and not on the sky? It's easy: She has adopted two unicorn, and as we all know, only Pegasi can live on the sky. How she adopted them is unknown, but they were a happy family, a rare one, but happy at the end. At least, it was before the disaster happened.

"Fire!" screamed the ponies around the house. As soon as Golden heard the alarm, she ran there, just to see that the fire was already extinguished thanks to the unicorns, casting water-spells over the catatrophe. But there was something that just a powerful rebuild-spell would fix, and there was no one powerful enough to cast it, and because of that, in front of the ashes of her house, Derpy Hooves was sad, as everyone around, but they couldn't stop what were they doing, and so, everyone returned to their normal activities in that fateful moment.

Golden looked at the poor pegasus, who was hugging her two daughters, trying to comfort them, but was unable to hold back her tears. This was unacceptable, and the carrot-lover couldn't sit on her hooves and watch this. And because of that, The orange-mane mare approached her friend.

"You... you can stay at my home, if it helps you"

The sound of those words changed the sad face of the mailmare, and turned it into a radiant, shining eyes one, who looked at her. "W-would you allow me to?".

Golden replied, "Of course... we are friends, aren't we? and now that you need a home, i give you mine."

The mailmare couldn't hold her happines, her pain tears turned into joy ones, and she felt how the friendship of Golden Harvest was more than just friendship, it was a blessing, a blessing which would allow her and her unicorn daughters to be happy again.

Derpy Hooves was always a bit clumsy and carefree... well, very clumsy, and when she and her family moved that afternoon to Golden's house, she couldn't be any happier. Golden had a very big house, inherited from her family, and she used most of the rooms to store her tools.

"You can use this. Just let me clean it" said Golden, but Derpy wasn't okay with it,

"We clean it. I can't let you do it all alone! I want to be useful too."

Golden smiled and answered with happyness, "Fine, fine, just don't mess with the..." Then, she could see that derpy was on the ground, surrounded of disordered hoes and carts. "... The tools..."

"I just don't know what went wrong".

"Nevermind, I'll take care of this, you... you go and take a walk".

"Well, thanks but i'd preffer to..."

"Take a walk, you need it to free all the stress".

"Fine, you've won this time."

Derpy left with her daughters and toured for the entire town, trying to avoid the place where her house was so she couldn't have any problem.

Meanwhile, the carrot pony started to move the carts with tools to the storehouse, but she was wondering what would Derpy do in the next days, and anxiety started to fill her, "I hope she doesn't destroy the entire orchard..:"

"Yeah, that is a good memory... Amethyst wanted to sleep in her own room, so we left her on the opposited one, and Dinky wanted to be with her mother. As they did, the life was good once again, and soon, they forgot about the fire incident. I'd like to congratulate Derpy for her firmness, i'd really love to." Thought Golden Harvest.

Then, the sounds of the fridge clossing called her atention, and her green eyes turned to it, just to get surprised by a hungry  mare eating the last of her food. Even through she was used to this, Golden didn't expect that too soon in the morning.

"Oh no... don't tell me that..." Said Golden, worried.

"I emptied your fridge" Replied Derpy Hooves.
