A Sky Too Big

As Fluttershy walked towards Twilight Sparkle's library, she shuddered at what than stallion just said about her friend. That thing, that retard , ugh! Just because she's different, because she makes mistakes, she's a menace to society? No, what is she thinking... police ponies have a lot on their mind, her accidents just cause him some stress. Twilight, or one of her friends, will know exactly how to solve this. They'll care, and they'll help. Of course it'd mean Fluttershy sharing the secret of her and Derpy's friendship, but with as friends as great as them, it wont even faze then. Probably.

Fluttershy knocked on the door of the large treehouse, and Spike opened the door, his large emerald eyes staring up at her. He looked busy, so he waved her in and dashed back up the swirling wooden staircase. Twilight walked in soon after, happy to see the face of one of her best friends.
"Why hello, Fluttershy, what brings you to my..." She rolled her eyes over the book she was levitating, "Bibliotheca today?"
"What? Twilight, I-" The purple unicorn giggled.
"Hehehe, sorry Fluttershy, I just got this new thesaurus and it is SO GREAT! Bibliotheca means 'library'. Isn't that just sooo neat?"
"Um, Twilight, I need your help with something,"
"Sure Fluttershy, what is vexing you?" She smiled again, "That means bothering!"
"Well, none of you or the girls know, but I am very good friends with Derpy Hooves," This seemed to have caught Twilight's attention, as she set the thesaurus down to listen to Fluttershy's words, "She has been coming to my house, or I to her's, and we have had a daily tradition to fly all over together, every morning. But this morning, she was acting strange. She turned down flying, and went I went back later to see if she was okay, she was... She was gone, Twilight. Leaving behind nothing but this note," Fluttershy handed over the slightly wrinkled piece of parchment while Twilight tried to absorb what she had just heard. The unicorn turned her attention to the scrap of paper, reading the sloppy hoofwriting twice, three times. She was surprised that pony had the ability to write,
"Flutters, I mean this in the nicest possible way, I don't want to help you find Miss Hooves," Fluttershy stopped listening right there, as she panicked in her head, she only caught small parts of what Twilight was saying, "Disturbing the peace..... weeks to fix....... bothersome and destructive,".
How can this be happening?! First the Chief, now her best friend? Derpy is the nicest pony she has every met, and everypony hates her because she's a little... off. No matter, Fluttershy was going to find her friend, with or without help.
