Chapter 1: Can I Go?


As the sun rose over the peaceful little town of Ponyville its residents began their early morning rituals to begin the day. Ponyville was not a large town with its population topping just a little over five thousand, but it was a tight-knit community. Everyone knew nearly everyone else from the Mayor to the Librarian to the school teachers. And so, this is where our story starts in this peaceful little town with one particular family; who is starting their own morning rituals.

Thanks to a crack in the curtains a beam of sunlight was able to penetrate the once darkened bedroom and land on the face of the room's one sleeping blonde haired occupant. No longer able to sleep or pretend to be a sleep, the figure arose from the bed with a light grumble. Shuffling across the room, the figure made their way into their bedroom's private bathroom. With a flick of a switch the lights in the bathroom burst on, flooding the bathroom with light and revealing the woman who now stood before the sink and mirror. As she began the mundane task of brushing her teeth, she began to think to herself.

'How did it all come to this, Derpy?' Derpy asked herself. 'The same thing every day for so long.'

After bending down to spit out the toothpaste and watch her mouth out of the rest Derpy stood up again to look at herself once more in the mirror. 'But this is what you wanted remember?' She thought to herself. 'After all that excitement, you said you wanted to settle down, you wanted peaceful, you wanted boring.'

Biting back to her logical side, her illogical side replied, 'Well yeah, but I'm still in the prime of my life with a body like this. So why can't a little excitement happen?' And it was true; at 39 Derpy was what one would call a very attractive woman. She had a full head of lushes' bright blonde hair that was all natural without a single strand of grey anywhere. Her skin was still youthful and tight without a wrinkle anywhere. For her body she stood tall at 6' 2" and had her curves in all the right places. Though she was never vain enough to go around pointing it out to everyone, Derpy knew she was blessed in breast size and ass; both being large and curvaceous. Despite all of this, the most noticeable feature about her was her bright golden crisscrossed eyes.

'Please,' her logical side replied. 'You get plenty of excitement. It may not be on the same level as what you used to do for Equestria, but at least you know you aren't going to die. Besides, you get plenty of excitement with your relationship and with them.'

"Speaking of them, they'll be up soon so I should go and get breakfast started," Derpy said aloud as she finished brushing her hair.

Putting her hairbrush down Derpy made her way out of her bedroom and began the usual morning walk to her kitchen. Along the path she crossed two bedrooms, two very distinct bedrooms that also had occupants in them. Both bedrooms had their doors open giving Derpy a full view inside.

The bedroom on the right had a small twin bed covered in brightly colored bed sheets with the room's blonde haired occupant still sleeping atop it. Around the room there were posters of music groups, including a specially framed one that had been signed by a blue haired DJ. There was also a small desk that held schoolwork and a backpack with said schoolbooks in it. Scattered about the floor there were various toys and clothes of a young girl. For this, was the room of Derpy's 8 year old daughter, Dinky.

'I thought I told her I wanted that mess picked up,' Derpy thought to herself. 'She just doesn't listen.'

Directly across from Dinky's room was the second bedroom. This bedroom had a larger double bed that was covered in darker more toned down bed sheets with the room's dark haired occupant also sleeping in it. Around the room there were bookcases filled with books and a few shelves mounted on the walls that held trophies that had been won and a few precious toys that the bed's owner just couldn't part with. Directly above the bed was a framed high school diploma. There was also a much larger desk that held a two state of the art custom built computers along with college homework and a backpack that held said college homework. Also, scattered across the room were various articles of clothing belong to a much older girl; a young woman. This was the room of Derpy's older daughter, Sparkler.

'Just like her sister,' Derpy thought as she spotted the small mess. 'You'd think a girl who skipped two grades to graduate high school early,currently maintains a perfect 4.0 GPA, and is a junior in college could at least keep her room clean!'

As she walked away, Derpy sighed to herself. 'Don't get so wound up over something that really doesn't matter. This means she gets to be you're little girl for a little longer before you have to release her back into the vicious world you found her in.'

While Sparkler was her daughter, she wasn't Derpy's Biological daughter. Derpy had adopted her at the age of one from a bad situation. There were many who thought Derpy shouldn't have adopted Sparkler, but Derpy chose to ignore them. When the day finally came that Derpy reviled to Sparkler that she was adopted, Sparkler replied that she had already figured it out. After asking her daughter how she felt about it, Sparkler replied that it changed nothing to them. Derpy was still her Mother and always would be. Derpy was the one who comforted her, who took care of her, read her bedtime stories as a child, was always there for her, and was her mother. It didn't matter to Sparkler that they looked different on the outside with Derpy's slightly tanned white complexion and Sparkler's own light Eastern complexion.

Arriving at her home's large spacious kitchen, Derpy began the morning task of fixing breakfast for herself and her daughters; the three women of the Hooves household. As today was Sparkler's return to college; Derpy decided to do something special for breakfast and set about making Sparkler's favorite breakfast of blueberry pancakes.

Soon she could hear movement upstairs and knew that Sparkler had awoken and was now taking her morning shower. Almost half an hour had pasted and Derpy was in the middle of cooking the pancakes when a loud banging was heard upstairs followed by a high voice yelling, "Hurry up Sparkler! You've been in there forever and I've got to get ready, too."

Thus began the argument between the two sisters on speed of readiness in the bathroom. After listening to a few minutes of their arguing Derpy stood all she could stand. Turning off the stove she made her way over to the stairs while yelling out, "Girls!"

'I just had to have kids didn't I?' Derpy thought as she walked up to her daughters shared bathroom with Dinky waiting outside. As it was her house and she wasn't in the mood, Derpy just opened the door to find Sparkler at the sink washing her face.

"Have you finished showering?" Derpy asked rhetorically.

"Yes, mom," replied Sparkler knowing her mother didn't really expect an answer to a question she clearly knew.

"Then let your sister in to take her own shower. No buts." Derpy said when she saw that Sparkler was about to protest.

Turning to Dinky she said, "Shower now."

Turning back to her older daughter she said, "Finish brushing your face, combing your teeth, and washing your hair." Derpy of course knew what her daughter was doing; this had just been a long running inside joke to everyone in the house.

Derpy then returned down stairs to fetch the morning paper and finish making breakfast.


Just as she was placing the stack to freshly made pancakes on the table Sparkler and Dinky both entered the kitchen. Seeing what their mother made for them for breakfast Sparkler went to get the glasses while Dinky got the milk and juices. Once everyone glass was full with their preferred beverage, Dinky put the milk and juice away back in the fridge and the three began having breakfast and the idle early morning chit-chat of what they planned to do for the day.

To some people it would be considered boring and not really even important, but Derpy loved these morning talks with her girls.

After a wonderful breakfast Derpy returned upstairs to take her own shower while Sparkler and Dinky quickly did the dishes before also returning upstairs to get dressed.

With her shower finished, Derpy quickly dried herself off and began to get dressed. As today was a work day she began to put on her work uniform and once she was done she stood tall in her Equestria Postal Mail uniform. The uniform consisted of black slacks with a white stripe going down the length of the outer leg on each leg of the pants. Her uniforms shirt was a white button-down top with the national Equestria Postal Mail logo patch sewn on each sleeve. The final touch to the uniform was the black cap that also had the national Equestria Postal Mail logo on the front of it. Derpy wouldn't put this on until she started delivering the mail when she got to work.

"Derpy, mail woman of Ponyville is ready," she said to herself with confidence. "And not a moment to soon," she added after getting a look at her watch. Quickly grabbing her keys she rushed down stairs to meet her waiting daughters.

Sparkler had on purple combat boots, faded bell-bottom blue jeans, and a red shirt from the small community college that she was going to that read "Go Clydesdales!" as the Clydesdale was the college's official team animal. Which made sense as Ponyville's many farmers owned several Clydesdales. It was even rumored that the Apple family had up to twenty-six of them. The final touch to Sparkler's outfit was the purple wired framed shades that sat atop her nose. The most noticeable thing about her though was the inch thick streak of dyed purple hair she had amongst her dark black hair. It had been quite a shock when Sparkler returned home one Saturday afternoon with part of her hair dyed purple. Needless to say, Derpy had hit the ceiling. Almost literally with how high she jumped. But she calmed down and accepted it. Besides, Derpy herself had down some crazy things in her youth. Most of it was crazier than dyed hair.

Dinky had on white sneakers, blue jeans with rectangle pink patches sewn over the knees, and wore a purple shirt with her favorite character, Dusk Shimmer, from her favorite television show, My Miniature Horsie: The Magic of Friendship. Wanting to be a responsible Mother, Derpy had watched several episodes with Dinky and allowed her to continue watching it. Although how in the world a show about talking horses could be popular was beyond Derpy. Along with everything else of her outfit Dinky also had her headphones on and was bouncing along to her iPod's music, the very loud music.

"I warned her," Sparkler said as Derpy walked up to her youngest.

Derpy pulled the headphones off Dinky's ears and said, "turn the music down or leave it here."

"But-" Dinky tried to protest, but was quickly cut off by her mother.

"Down or it stays here, young lady." Derpy said sternly.

With a small grumble Dinky did as her mother asked and turned her music down.

Satisfied with her youngest daughter's choice, Derpy tossed the car keys to Sparkler and said, "You wanna drive this morning?"

Seeing the expression on her daughter's face was all the response she needed to know the answer, but she still got a squeal and a hug too. Even though Derpy and her daughters lived very comfortably, more so than a family of three should on Derpy's salary, Derpy simply didn't have the funds to buy Sparkler a car. Or she wasn't willing to dip into the magic money fund she had that she told people about who asked about how she was able to live like she does. So it wasn't often that Sparkler got to drive and loved it when her mother would let her drive Dinky to school and then to the local college, before Derpy would then get behind the wheel and continue on to work.

Many would have thought with Derpy's eyes being as they were that she would never be able to drive. But after some effort with the Department of Driving and numerous tests, Derpy was finally allowed to take the Driver's Test and passed with a perfect score. In twenty-three years of driving she had never had a single accident.

Derpy's car was a black convertible 1965 Mustang. It was an old car, but the Hooves women kept it very well maintained and it was all muscle. It was the kind of car Derpy loved to drive and her daughter Sparkler did too.

The drive to the elementary school was short and Dinky hopped out of the car after a kiss from her mother and hugged her sister. Sparkler then continued on to the college and struck up a conversation with her mother.

"Mom, do you remember that computer study program I signed up for in my college's computer club over the summer?" Sparkler asked.

Not really remembering it, but knowing her daughter's deep love of computers and knowing that she is going for a career in computers, Derpy replied, "Vaguely. Isn't it in Prances?"

"Yeah it is," Sparkler replied before continuing on. "Here's the thing. I got an e-mail yesterday from the club and I'm one of the two who've been selected to go."

"Who's the other one?" Derpy cut in quickly.

"It's my friend Amethyst, Amethyst Star. You remember her right?"

Derpy nodded her head recalling the slightly older girl.

"Anyway mom, the deadline for getting everything filled is this Wednesday. So if you could just sign this." Sparkler said as she carefully dug out the paper to sign off on going on the study progam.

"What's this?" Derpy asked as she looked at the paper in front of her.

"Well, since it's in Prances…"

"And since you're under twenty-one you need my permission to leave the country," Derpy finished for her as Sparkler pulled into a parking space at the college.

"So will you sign it?" Sparkler asked hopefully.

After a moment of not getting a response from her mother, Sparkler asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm not comfortable with this." Derpy replied.

"Mom…" Sparkler groaned in disbelief at her mother's response.

"I just think that you're too young to go off on your own like this. You've only ever been away from home for three weeks and now you're asking for four months away across the ocean?"

"Thanks for nothing mom," Sparkler snapped angrily as she exited the car, slamming the door close.

With a heavy sigh, Derpy scooted over into the driver's seat to get herself to work and start a long three hour work shift of delivering mail.

It was gonna be a long day.


A/N: Before everyone jumps me, yes I know that Sparkler and Amethyst Star are the same pony.
