Derpy Hooves lives with her birth child Dinky Hooves on the edge of Ponyville. They live happily together until one day Derpy comes home to see that Dinky has been kidnapped by a strange pegasus. Derpy goes to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash to help her find her little filly. While Twilight tries a new magic spell to find traces of the kidnapper. Applejack, Pinkypie and Rarity do their part in this story by investigating every pony, pegasus, and unicorn that might be involved in the kidnapping. Doctor Whooves is in this story too but he won't show up 'till later parts. I'll do parts but you guys gotta let me know if I should do more. By the way I was inspired by the story of Derpy's little dinky hooves. I don't remember the author but it's kinda sad and if you guys can help me I've been trying to find part two of the story. I'm new to fimfiction.net and this is my first story.

My first love story of Derpy. Rainbow has been acting weird around Derpy lately but Derpy doesn't find it odd. Nor does she find it more odd that Rainbow quietly invited Derpy over to hang out. While Rainbow is still deciding whether to tell Derpy her true feelings about her or keep it to herself.

This is before Derpy was known as a hero to Ponyville after saving 12 kidnapped fillies. This is before This is before Derpy married Rainbow Dash. This is when Derpy was known as trash to the others. This is how Dinky had to put up with school everyday.
