//------------------------------// // Intermission: Derpy // Story: Then Everyone was an Alicorn // by CluelessBrony //------------------------------// Derpy woke up with a smile. Today was going to be another good day! Ever since she had turned into an Alicorn, her motor skills and hoof-eye coordination had been improving! Things had been going great for her lately. She rolled out of bed and trotted to the bathroom. The mirror in her washroom beckoned to her. She stared at her reflection, noticing all the features of her now unfamiliar body. She supposed it wasn't too bad. After brushing her teeth with some sore joint cream, (the tube of cream looked a lot like the tube of toothpaste!), she walked downstairs for breakfast. Maybe she had something sweet to get rid of the taste of relief cream out of her mouth. After munching on a muffin, she grabbed her mailbag and left her door, only to immediately return. "Sorry Spot, I almost forgot to feed you!", she shouted. She flew into the kitchen, grabbing her dog's bowl just in time for the animal in question to come running around the corner. The small, black and white spotted pup panted happily. Derpy smiled and started to fill the bowl up from a large brown bag. Derpy heard a door close behind her. She turned around and spotted her roommate, Carrot Top, looking at her with a disapproving glare. "Derpy, I don't think dogs are supposed to eat whole, unwashed potatoes.", she said, gesturing to the bag Derpy was emptying. The grey mare looked at it. "Oh.", she muttered, putting the potatoes back in the bag and placing the bag back in the cupboard. She grabbed the dog food and started to feed Spot again. "I didn't notice that was potatoes. But in all fairness, I think it's chocolate you're thinking of that dogs can't eat.", she said. Carrot Top rolled her eyes. "Either way, let's stick with the dog chow.", she muttered. After feeding the dog and waving goodbye to Carrot Top, Derpy made her way back outside. The sun was shining bright. Now that she thought about it, hadn't the sun been shining brightly for a while now? Oh well, she thought. I'm sure the princess has a good reason. Derpy took flight and made her way to the post office, waving to every pony she saw. "Hi Lyra!", she called out, waving to the mint mare in question. Lyra rolled her eyes and gave a half-hearted wave back. Derpy smiled. Everypony was so friendly! Life was good. She made it to the post office and opened the door. "Well, time to get to work!" --- I just wanted an excuse to write this joke- I had to change it from razor blades to potatoes because Derpy wouldn't feed a dog razors. Also, I gave Derpy a dog for the sake of this joke.
