Interview #1 : Derpy Hooves

Hi everyone Starlight Charmer here bringing news and stories to the ponies. Today I will begin my new background pony interview segment with the already well known Miss Derpy Hooves.Why I am starting it with her when she's already well known you may ask? Well I am starting it with Derpy for that very reason to tell people the story of an already popular pony. Derpy is already popular for many things such as her crossed eyes also know as her trademark "derpy" expression. Another thing ponies have been known to love about Derpy is her adorable love for muffins. Who can't resist a Derpy snuggling with a blueberry muffin? Also for all of the My Little Pony and Doctor Who fans out there you get the pleasure of seeing Derpy or should I say ditzy do? With the famed Doctor now in pony form and at first Derpy is only his partner ,but later on in the fanfiction thier relationship becomes intresting when Derpy falls in love in with the Doctor. Some of the fanfics even say that they have children! But, for now let's go back to the interview. Today I will interview Derpy to learn more about her and the things she does both in-show and off-screen. This meeting will be taking place at a cafe next to sugercube corner. Now enough of all the boring info let's get on with this interview.

A Few Hours Later.....

Where is Miss Derpy Hooves I have been waiting here for hours this is annoying although I should have known she would be late due to her poor navigatinal skill, but I never imagined she would be this late I mean really it was supposed to be six hours ago! " Excuse me miss are you done with your drink? Do you need a refill?" Starlight looks up to see another waiter eagerly waiting for her answer. Wow these ponies sure are excited to serve me more enthusiastic then the waiters in canterlot cafe's no wonder they say Ponyville is one the nicest town is equestria " No thanks I don't need another refill" The waiter begins to go to the next customer "wait I would like to give you a tip for you excellent service" I hand the waiter eight bits, but then rethink this and add two more bits. "wow thank you miss um.... what your name?" "My names starlight charmer a reporter from canterlot and thank you for the excellent service".

An hour later...

I finally decide to give up this interview with Derpy and to chose a diffrent pony, but as I make my way down the street I bump into Derpy. Yes I litteraly bump into her head first actually and my head still hurts. When I see Derpy I am at first surprised then angry " Where have you been I waited for you at a cafe for seven hours!". Derpy finally seems to take in who I am " I'm sorry I was busy with my job , today I accidentaly dropped a piano on a pony's head and I had to take her to the hospital I was on my way to the interview now" Staring into her sincere "Derpy" eyes breaks me and I forgive her right away." Derpy don't worry about it we can still do the interview and I bought you some muffins" I say with a smile and Derpy accepts my new interview and muffin offer.

Finally something you have all been waiting for interview time with Derpy!


Okay Derpy first let's start with a question everyone's been wondering why do you love muffins so much?

I fell in love with muffins when I ate my first one during applebuck season it was so tasty! Applejack makes the best muffins

Wait! you don't mean the "baked bads" in episode 4 do you? Apple Jack was sleep deprived and made them bad, and let's not forget it made everypony sick.

Oh so that's why everypony run's when they see me with my favorite muffins and Apple Jack always looks at me funny. I don't see what's wrong with these muffins they are really good.

Okayy.... moving on now. Next question since were still on the muffin topic I want to ask why do you hate english muffins so much? Whenever you see the Doctor eating a english muffin you call him a traitor why?

English muffins are not real muffins! Whenever the Doctor is eating one of those fake muffins he is betraying me. I mean why would he prefer a fake muffin over one of my blueberry muffins. It makes no sense.

I kinda feel bad for the Doctor now. Derpy I have always wondered what made you want to travel with the doctor in the first place. Each of the doctor's old human companions had a reason, but yours is never really mentioned.

Oh that's an easy question I went with the doctor for adventure plus the doctor said I could bring my muffins with me while we travel.

Derpy we know you like the doctor why don't you tell him how you feel?

* Derpy started heavily blushing at this question* Oh um I don't want to tell the doctor how I feel just yet, beacuse I am happy to just be with him and teach him how to be a pony. One of my favorite things to do with him is to help him take a bath. I love rubbing his mane and .... Oh wait did I say that out loud forget what I just said and don't tell the doctor.

*After Derpy gave this response she became unresponsive and seemed to be thinking about something possibly the doctor therefore to keep this interview moving forward we will go to a diffrent topic, but we may go back to this later*

Derpy I have always wanted to ask you are a mail pony and yet your cutie mark dosen't match up with your job or name why do you have multiple bubbles as your cutie mark? '

Wait I have bubbles as my cutie mark *turns around to check* I never noticed it before I don't know why I have it.

*stares at Derpy with mouth wide open then slowly recovers* You have got to be kidding me ..... Derpy why is it that everypony calls you Derpy when your real name is Ditzy

Everyone calls me Derpy , beacuse of my usual face although at times I wish I could be called by my real name.

Derpy do you know you have a day based on you it's called Derpy day and it's on March 1st

Wow I have my own day why didn't anypony tell me I love celebrating myself and of course muffins.

Derpy if you could choose something to bring into the everfree forest what would you chose?

A blueberry muffin of course I couldn't last a day in the everfree forest without a blueberry muffin.

*my timer rings*

Wow the interview's over already and we didn't get into the personal question's yet. Sorry for this my fan's , but I will do another interview with Derpy if a lot of ponies personally ask for more. Also did you like this interview love it, or hate it if you do please tell me why and how I can make this any better for you.
