I got to see "Brave" on Friday. It was alright. Anyways, I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but here it is.


The next morning, Lone Warrior decided it was time to go back into the Everfree Forest. I sent Lone Warrior off with some muffins in case he got hungry. After leaving, I went to work to deliver the mail as usual. I tried not to think about Lone Warrior too much, but I couldn't help but worry that he might not come back. As I did my final roundabout, I saw my friends hanging out together in the park, so I decided to fly down to them and talk to them for a while.

"Hi guys." I said.

"What's with the frowny-frown?" asked Pinkie Pie in concern.

"Its Lone Warrior." I said, "He's confused on whether or not he wants to stay in Ponyville, so I sent him to the Everfree Forest for a day to settle things on his own."

"Why in Celestia's name would you do that?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Cause I want him to be sure if its what he really wants." I replied, "I'm a little worried he might decide to stay in the forest, but I know Lone Warrior will be back for me."

"Well if he doesn't come back, then he's not worth it." said Rainbow Dash, "I've known of guys who would chicken out on other girls when somepony brings up the word 'commitment'."

"Now hold on a sec, how would you know about that?" asked Applejack inquisitively to Rainbow Dash.

"Hello, I'm Rainbow Dash; the embodiment of Loyalty itself; I think I know what I'm talking about here."

"Wait a minute, you were the one who said I was in love with Lone Warrior in the first place." I responded with a bit of annoyance.

"Hey, I was just pointing out the obvious." said Rainbow Dash, "Besides, if I were an expert matchmaker, I'd have a box of matches as my cutie mark instead of a cloud and rainbow lightning bolt."

"But he won't leave me; not with what we've been through together."

I had a twinge of fear saying that, as if saying those words would insure that Lone Warrior would never return. I turned my head away so my friends couldn't see the discomfort in my face. It was then with my bad eye that I saw a purple hoof lay on top of mine. I looked up to see Twilight Sparkle trying to comfort me. I then threw my hooves around her and started to cry.

"I miss him already." I sniffled, "I've only known him for a short while, but he's already changed so much for me that I don't know what to do without him."

"I know its hard to lose somepony in your life." said Twilight Sparkle patting my back, "You changed a lot in his life too, Derpy, and I bet it was just as hard for him to leave as it is for you."

I looked up at my friend as I wiped a tear from my face.

"No matter what happens, we'll be here to support you." smiled Twilight.

"Thank you." I smiled back.

It was nice to know I still had friends like Twilight Sparkle to fall back on when I needed it. I just hope whatever happens will be for the better.


What do you think? Please R&R.
