Letters From Derpy

To Whoever Finds Me,

My heart is STILL racing so fast I think I'll die in my sleep, but I'm too wound up to lie down. Even after finishing off that bottle.

Just as I got to the castle today I heard Apple Bloom was shrieking bloody murder! I shot over and found her trying to get away from Gilda wrestling her and cussing. Apple Bloom wriggled away and I could see she was crying really hard. Gilda grabbed her and stretched her out to get at her tummy. She yelled, "Dinner time!" and shoved her beak right into her!

It was like I was in a dream. I made a power dive into Gilda. She saw me coming, or maybe I was screaming, and she tried to catch me. But I knocked her on her back. We wrestled until she had me pinned. She was laughing at me while I tried to pull away and I got even madder. I arched my back until it hurt and then butted her head. And hard! It was stupid because I could have hit her beak, but I got the side of her face.

She was stunned, and used her wing to check her bloody jowl. I pushed her off and started trying to trample her. Apple Bloom was yelling and then SHE started hitting my flank. I looked at her and then Gilda knocked me over and raised her claw. "Why you...!"

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" In a flash Princess Luna floated down from the castle wall. Gilda took three good steps back. So did Apple Bloom. Then Luna scolded Bloom, "A joke is one thing, dear, but this went a little too far."

Joke!?

She hung her head. "Yes Princess." The goddess stared at Apple Bloom and brushed a hoof towards me.

"I had Gilda pretend she's eatin' me so you'd get scared."

Oh, but no actual apology? I was so mad I couldn't speak. The princess told us to come in and clean up for dinner. On the way Gilda bumped me and growled, "You..." I just glared at her. Then she patted me on the shoulder and said, "You're tougher than I thought. I might like you after all."

PFFT! WHAT A DOCK!

Still in need of defibrillation,
