A Long Way From Home
Prologue: Part 1-The Tale of Derpy Hooves, Companion of the Doctor
19 year old Derpy Hooves has been travelling through the forest all day and had began to get a bit peckish, so naturally she sat down for lunch under a nice shady tree, and brought out her lunch sack full of apple cider and muffins. Hey! Narrator here! You've probably guessed by now that beautiful Derpy Hooves, age 19, is our main character! She didn't have the best life; first, because her parents died and her grandparents died soon after (a couple months) and she had a horrible life where she was! Parents AND grandparents dead; sounds bad right? Well, it gets worse! What family she DID have all hated her! Cousins, uncles, aunts, etc. Hated by your own family...that's got to be really bad, right? Well, it doesn't stop there. They beat her….horribly, with pretty much anything...So, essentially, her life sucks. Oh, and her family hates her for just being dumped on them and for being her! She had a lazy eye condition, the root cause of her beatings.
Like any normal person her age, she went to college. And she had the nicest roomate EVER! Her name was Dash, leader of the track team, and Derpy's only close friend. She stood up for her when she was being bullied, and made sure that they wouldn't bother her again. However, what Derpy lacked in the appearance of her eyes, she made up for tenfold with her brains. So, she tutored Dash whenever she needed it, which was quite common, as Dash wasn't the most intelligent person there was.
Her one pride and joy was her job. She worked at an orphanage, helping the kids in whatever way she possibly could. She cleaned up, played with the kids, and made dinner. She was a great cook, something you can add to her many endearing qualities. And of course, the kids loved her to death. She got swarmed every time she entered the building! She always cooked her "world famous muffins," as the kids called them. They always wanted to help her cook, but she kindly refused or changed the subject, as she had seen Sweetie Bell's cooking(Seriously, who freaking burns their orange juice?!)and didn't want to experience it EVER again. She'd rather keep her taste buds, thank you very much.
Well, I'm gonna head out and let the story progress, breaking the fourth wall in the process. Narrator out!
"Mmmmmm...muffins...my favorite," said the young girl. She sat there wondering about her life. Though her peace wouldn't last long. Why? Because HE came. Nom nom nom Derpy chewed. A strange man ran up to her grabbed her arm and whispered "Run." Derpy was confused. "What? Why?" Derpy asked, wondering why she was being distracted from her eating of muffins. "Just trust me...I'm the Doctor."
