Come here!” >you hear some stumbling down the hallway and Derpy skids on in >”Daddeh?” >”Hey. Do you want to help make the special muffins?” >she stares at you in wonder >”Spechuh muffehs?” >you confirm that fact and tell her what kinds you two are going to make >her jaw opens more and more with each type you list until she’s practically drooling on herself >you prepare all of the ingredients you need, and grab a massive salad bowl >after the last time Derpy tried to crack eggs, you decide to do that part yourself >you let her pour in the various dry ingredients, and most of them go on the counter >she apologizes profusely, but you just scoop it up in your hand and throw it in the bowl >you tell her to give you the jam, and she topples it over >despite being a good walker, she sure is clumsy >you throw the muffins in the oven >you have fifteen minutes until they’re done >you and Derpy finish preparing the carrot cupcake mix, and you finish up the blueberry, too >still four minutes left >well, this is as good a time as any to head to the washroom >”Derpy, daddy’s going to be back in a minute. Stay here, okay?” >she nods and turns back to the assortment of muffin mixes >you enter the bathroom and relieve yourself >as you start to zip up, you hear a high-pitched sound >it’s Derpy, screeching >as you rush out, you realize your incredibly obvious mistakes >you left her unattended around both liquids and a hot oven >you run into the kitchen to see what’s happened >there’s no sign of Derpy >”Derpy? Derpy!” >no response >you look towards the oven and counter >there’s muffin mix all over the counter, trickling down it, and then hoofprints of the stuff leading to the oven >you throw open the door, fearing the worst >the muffins are toppled over, there’s spilt muffin mix covering the bottom, but no sign of Derpy >so she must be alive >you sigh with relief, but quickly get back to searching >you hear a loud “NUUUUUU!” from the backyard >you run outside and see Derpy running around the yard, covered in muffin mix, trying to run away from her tail, >upon looking a bit closer, you see that’s because her tail’s on fire >and the rest of the backyard is catching fire, too >”Oh, holy FUCK!” >you run into the backyard, unsure of what to do >shock overwhelms you, and your thinking becomes hazy >”Nuuu! Go ‘way, meanie buwnie! Hewp! Buwnie hewt Dewpy!” >water >you’ve got to find water >you run back inside and grab a bucket and start filling it with water >far too slowly >you head back outside with half a cup of water and dump it on Derpy >she sputters and starts crying, but she’s okay >suddenly, you just snap right back to sanity >stupid, what were you doing with a bucket?! >you sprint over to the side of your house, and grab the garden hose >you twist the valve as fast as you can and run back to the yard >a bunch of flaming patches have appeared all throughout the grass >you stick your thumb over the hose and spray everything you can >Derpy gets soaked again, but you could care less at this point >after a couple minutes, the flames are gone >you let out a couple heavy breaths >you rush over to Derpy and pick her up, not very gently >”WHAT DID YOU DO?! WHY WERE YOU ON FIRE?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!” >her eyes fill with tears, and she looks away, sobbing >”Sowwy, daddeh…Dewpy jus wan be muffeh…” >”Derpy, you could’ve burnt down the entire house down! You could’ve killed yourself!” >”No wan die…” >as she quivers in your hands, you’re not sure what to feel >you don’t want to see her cry, but she needs to know what she did was wrong >all she wanted was to be a muffin, she didn’t mean any harm >your angry expression drops into one of sadness >you realize that you’re mad because she almost hurt herself, not because of the lawn >well, you are sort of mad about the lawn, but you can buy new grass seeds >”Derpy, you scared me. I thought you were going to die.” >”No mean scawe daddeh…Dewpy sowwy…” >you hug her tightly >”Listen, you’re not allowed near the oven when daddy is away. If it looks like it might hurt you, ask daddy if it’s okay, first.” >”O-okay, daddeh…” >”We’ll make muffins tomorrow. We’re not going to try again today. I think we need some talking time.” >Derpy hugs you tighter >”No wan die, daddeh.” >”I don’t want you to die, either.” >you sit there, hugging her, for hours >in the burnt remains of your backyard
