That was the only difference between the brown colt and stallion in appearance with the exception of the obvious size difference. They had the same hourglass cutie mark, the same brown hair style, and the same awkward stature. There could be no doubting that they were in fact father and son.---Derpy awoke after only a few hours of sleep. It was still dark, and could not have been any later than three in the morning. She was still tired, and had she been lying in her bed her first instinct wou

Dessert of apple pie when returning from the fields. This was the previous night's agenda. Derpy, having visited Sweet Apple Acres found it too tempting to get a taste of the country lifestyle to go home that night. Instead she agreed to stay for dinner and then offered to pitch in helping the others finish their chores for the night. With an extra set of hooves working that night the dishe

The sound of it was palpable, tangible, a physical anomaly that seemed to surround her. It was lifting her up, protecting her from something, from everything. It may have been in the rhythm, or in the actual notes of the melody. It could even have spawned from the very words being sung, but whatever was creating the unusual sensation remained a mystery.She was never able to see the wreckage of the burning house after the flames had died down. The group that had met her outside t

"Ehem."Twilight stopped pacing for a moment and raised a brow. "And dragon " Upon hearing that, Spike beamed with pride. The unicorn rolled her eyes at how easy it was to appease him. "It has been three days since we made our plan; time to recap! You first Spike, what do your notes say?"The baby dragon opened a scroll and began to read.

RecognitionI know that I've made mistakes We're not perfect...I'm aware of what love takes was it worth it?Don't pretend I'm only to blame I accept full responsibility...But to write this whole fight in my name is nothing short of a fallacy. Sure I take the fault for most of it That is something I can't fake But I was prepared to never quit Despite the stakesI did wrong For so long Exiled myself To grow strong Then returned and You still want me gone? Maybe I deserved this fate But that was before my thinking Why did we give in to hate? Are we still sinking?Desire's burning Time k
