A day with derpy

I guess something special happens in our lives. the heroes of war experience this when they get home from the battlefield. There are kids my age who are diagnosed with severe medical conditions. Sometimes they are cured of there problems. I imagine waking up one morning sick with the swine flu and then later be told that I'll live. For me however, nothing like that ever happens. The only slightly amazing thing that ever happened in my life was watching the planes at the airport take off and land. I guess that only special people have special things happen to them.

Anyways, before I get ahead of myself, I must first introduce myself. I am the amazing, awesome Maximus Von Richthofen. Well thats not my last name and I'm not that amazing. My name is max. In just an ordinary, lazy, miserable teen. It Is summer right now so I have nothing to do. I have few friends to hang out with and my best friend just wants to get me to watch my little pony. My best friends name is mike and if you guessed, yes he is a brony. He is obsessed with that show. Almost all our conversations about the show are just ways to show off his knowledge of the show, which is not needed because he proved he knew more about the show than me when we took a test online. I think the only reason he is my best friend is because unlike the bullies at school, i don't care what the heck he watches or enjoys, he is still a nice person. Anyways, what I'm working on right now is actually for mike. His favorite character is rainbow dash and I decided to make something for him. I am into remote control airplanes, and since rainbow dashes favorite thing to do is fly and fly fast, I built a f-22 raptor that I decorated with rainbow and cyan coloring. And to gain more speed, I rigged two smoke emitting rockets on the back that when fired will emit rainbow colored smoke and increase the planes speed by 20%. Mike is always joking with the 20% percent cooler thing, so I incorporated it into my designs. All I was doing now was finishing up the final touches. " come on max! Just a dab of C.A glue he..."

" max! Max!" My parents yelled. " what!" I yelled in response. Then, no answer. " uhhh! Fine!" I shouted in defeat. I then marched into the living room. My parents had made a pile of luggage on the floor and couch. " we are going to go now. You'll be good right?" My mom said. " yes." I said blankly. " bye max, love you." My mom said, embracing me. After getting handfuls of paper, and watching my dads. Sedan back out of the driveway, I quickly jumped up and danced around in joy. Alone at home. No parents, no rules. As I walked near to my room, a strange smell was emitting from the bathroom.. And as soon as I got into the small cramped throne room of the porcelain throne, I discovered a chunk of rotten beef in the trash can that I threw away last week. It made the room smell as if something died in there. I quicly put my nose in my shirt and grabbed the can and ran outside to the trash bins. After I poured the rotten garbage into the bin, I looked up. I don't know why but faith decided that it was important that I look up. And when I did I saw the most craziest thing. It was grey and yellow. It was spinning and falling in slow motion. My first thoughts were ' UFO!' Then I regained my rational thinking. ' could be a plane.' Then I regained my sense of humor.' It could be one of mikes ponies falling from the sky.' I laughed to myself before realizing that whatever it was, it was headed straight towards me. I leaped back, throwing the trash bin lid up as the thing crashed into the bin. ' just grab a weapon and if its bomb, just put the bin in the street. ' I then grabbed a wooden board that I held as a club, and slowly opened the lid. When I looked inside, I saw a mass of grey fur and blonde hair. That wasn't all either, it was moving and breathing. I lifted the board into the bin and slowly prodded the creature. It lifted its head and looked at me. It was a cartoonish horse with two yellow eyes and a blonde mane hanging in the front with trash all in it. The eyes got me the most. One was looking at me a d the other was focused on the wood in my hand. I was too shocked to think. I dropped the wood. The pony could hear the wood clatter as it hit concrete. She stood up and looked at me with a frightened face. I then regained my voice and spoke to the creature. " you don't have to be scared. I won't hurt you." I said softly to her. And to show her I wasn't a threat, I smiled. She seemed to calm Down but when I reached In to pet her, she lifted two wings from behind her back and started ruffling them like crazy. But I still smiled and reached my hand towards her. " it's alright, you'll be ok." I said to her. She then looked up with her mismatched eyes. She must have realized that I wouldn't hurt her. I then reached In and grabbed her. When I pulled her out I could see that she was scraped on her hind legs and that her mane and tail were covered in trash. I took her inside and placed her In the shower. I turned the water on and hosed her down. Then I used soap to clean her of dirt and grime from the trash bin. I then pulled the big chunks of trash from her mane and tail. She was calm the whole way through. After I dried her off and laid her down in my room, I picked up my phone and called mike. " hello?"

" it's max, I've got something to show you."

" oh! Is it that project you've been working on?"

" yes, that and one other thing."

" can't wait to see! Meet you at the airfield!"

" you too."

I put the phone in my pocket and grabbed the f-22 and a transmitter. I then walked over to the pony. She was watching me with uncertainty. " hello."I said. She smiled and nodded." Do you talk?" I asked. She pointed mat her throat and made a coughing sound. " oh. Are you hungry?" She nodded. I knew that my parents had a platter piled high with muffins so I went to the kitchen and grabbed the platter and went back to the pony In my room. As soon as I showed her the muffins, her eyes widened and she leaped at the food. Before I knew it, there were no muffins left." I guess you like muffins." I said still in shock. She nodded and smiled. I smiled and shook my head. I then grabbed the plane and transmitter and headed out to the side yard. After putting the plane Down on the ground I ran inside and grabbed the pony. After putting a blanket over my plane and one on the pony, I started my way to the local air field.

When we arrived, I saw mike waiting. " hey mike!" I said. He nodded and looked down at the covered things I had brought. " so what is it this time?" He asked. " under curtain number 1 is..." I pulled the blanket off the pony. I could hear mike almost choke on his saliva. His eyes were wide open and his hands were shaking. " your kidding me, right? She only exits in a show." Mike said in disbelief. " touch her. She's real alright." I said. Mike lowered himself down and slowly reached a hand to pet the colorful horse. Her face showed uncertainty towards mike, but I smiled to her and she seemed to calm down. " how did you find her?" Mike asked. And so I told him of the events this morning. When I finished, mike lost the shocked look and replaced it with one of joy." So now what? Do I name her?" I said. " no, she already has a name."

" and it is?"

" derpy."

" her name is derpy?"

" yes."

" ok so what is her derpy name?"

" no her name is derpy."

" wait her name doesn't sound derpy, that's her actual name?"

" yes."

" why such a name?"

" well she's clumsy, always dropping things and mentally challenged." After mike said that, I froze. " she has a problem with her brain?" I asked shocked." Yes. It's sad because in the only episode that she got a speaking part, she was made fun of for being mentally challenged. " oh god did I feel so bad for derpy. I knelt down to her and hugged her tight. How in gods name could a young pony be made fun of for something she can't control in a world that is focused on friendship and being nice. Well it is the same thing on earth I guess. Kids being mean to other kids for no reason at all. But isn't pony land or whatever the hell it's called supposed to be full of caring, loving ponies that don't even know the meaning of violence? Seems not. " I will make sure that your stay here will be enjoyable. Oh almost forgot." I said as I let go of derpy. I then raced over to the second blanket. " also mike," I then pulled off the cover of the plane." I made this for you." Mike stared in awe of the f-22. " you know what's cool about the plane?" I asked. " what?"

" you see these rockets?" I said pointing to them." There is a connecting wire inside that when triggered, will increase the jets speed by 20%, hence making the plane 20% cooler." I said smirking. I could see mike and derpy cracking up. " alright, stand back." I then grabbed the pane and turned the motor to full power . Then I threw it into the air. It flew perfectly, making precise turns and smooth barrel rolls as well as sharp knife edge turns. It made it out of steep dives professionally. Then I activated the rockets, pushing the planes speed to 120 mph. The rainbow colored smoke flowed out of the rocket motors like water. I could hear behind me, derpy and mike clapping. I then did a few more stunts and finally landed. I picked up the plane and bowed. I saw both members of my audience smiling and clapping. I knew I had brought some security and joy to derpy in this world. Something I have never really experienced. It's an amazing feeling to have given something to someone that you have never felt. I just wish that I could keep that smile on derpy's face.
