Pieces of a Grey Cloud

Wave

Derpy passes by a pony on the way to work. She recognizes him because he has a fancy hat on and he’s wearing a blue jumper. He’s going fast in the other direction, because the wind is helping him. Derpy wants to be mad at the wind, but she gets mad at her wings instead because they don’t flap hard enough. She flies to work every day and her wings are still silly and not too strong.

Derpy waves to the pony flying in the other direction. He doesn’t wave back. Derpy smiles at him. He goes by really fast. Derpy doesn’t think she saw him smile. She turns around to see him but she can only see a blue blob. She closes one eye, but he’s on the other side, and suddenly Derpy remembers other fast ponies and she jerks her head back forward and then to the other side but there’s nopony there. Derpy keeps flying to work.

The wind calms down a little bit when she gets there. Derpy is a mailpony. She delivers mail. Derpy is early for work. She puts on her hat and walks inside the post office.
