Chapter 5

On his way back to his office, Eddie is stopped by a little filly, Derpy's daughter, dinky.

"My mom didn't do it! The papers are a lie!" cried Dinky Hooves

"Someone wants the will that Lauren Faust left after she retired, they are trying to frame my mom!" said Dinky.

"Well, did anyone ever see this will?" asked Eddie.

"Well, no, but it's the truth, Eddie! Please, just take a look at it", she asked with big, sad eyes.

Eddie looked into her big. pleading eyes, and couldn't say no. "Alright, I will look into it"

"Oh thank you Eddie, thank you so much!" Dinky hugged Eddie, and ran off.

Eddie arrives back at his office and sits down on his bed. Derpy popped out from under the covers, scaring Eddie half to death.

"Eddie, what am I gonna do? They think I'm a murderer!" Yelled Derpy

She was flying around the room frantically, knocking things off of tables and walls.

"Calm down Derpy!" Eddie said. "I have everything under control. Its not like its the first time this has happened."

There was a knock on the door. Eddie opened it and Rainbow Dash flew right into Eddie's face. And she was mad alright. The other ponies came following behind her.

"Why you little! You dirt bag! Why did you do that to Derpy? I should smack you back to yesterday Bub!" Yelled Rainbow.

"Calm down darling" said Rarity. "I'm sorry Eddie...She gets a little temperamental." explained Rarity as she fluffed her mane.

"Um...I hate to bother you Eddie. but are you really going to help Derpy, or if you don't want to ..." stuttered Fluttershy nervously.

"Are you goanna help us Eddie? Well? Are ya? Are ya?" Asked Pinky Pie, jumping around.

"Calm down Pinkie. I'm goanna help you ok? chill." Said Eddie irritated. "Now, will you please get out of my office? He tries to herd them out of the room.

"Girls, I'm trying to talk here!" said Derpy. "Anyways, you have to help me Eddie! If you dont, I'm as good as dip! I didn't do it! You see, when you left, I went to Dr. Hooves' office, but he wasn't there, so I wrote him a letter. Then I went home to wait for him, but the other generation ponies were waiting for me, so I flew here!" Explained Derpy.

"Well, why did you come to me?" asked Eddie

"You've helped ponies before Eddie! We need you!" Said Twilight

"Okay, okay! I'll help you alright?" Eddie said, exasperated.

"thank you Eddie, thank you thank you thank you!" Pinkie Pie jumped up and down.

Rainbow got right up to Eddie's face, looked him in the eye, and sneered, "you better help Derpy get out of this" and they flew off out the door, followed by the other ponies.

Eddie and Derpy sat down, exhausted. Derpy hung her head down. "How are we gonna fix this Eddie? I am so stressed. Muffins."

"Don't worry Derpy. I'll get it sorted out, I promise." Eddie put his arm around Derpy.

Just then, another loud knock at the door.

Eddie and Derpy thought it might be Rainbow Dash and the others again.

It wasn't.

"We're here to search the premises" boomed the voice behind the door. "Open up."

Eddie looked at Derpy, paining. He whispered "DERPY HIDE"
