Derpy had just finished her delivery and was heading back home. On her way, she spotted a colt in the distance. He was white and had blonde hair, like Derpy. He also had wings. She stood in the center of the road and stared.
"Is this what love feels like?" she asked herself out loud.
"Whatcha looking at?" asked a voice, startling Derpy.
"Huh? What?" asked Derpy, turning around. "Oh. Hey, Heartstrings."
"So..." she said. "whatcha lookin' at?"
"Oh, nothing." said Derpy, looking back at the colt.
Heartstrings followed the gaze in Derpy's left eye and found herself looking at a cart full of melons. She then followed the gaze of her other eye and saw the colt.
"Ohhhhhhhh." said Heartstrings. "I see what's going on."
"What are you talking about?" asked Derpy.
"You like him, don't you?"
"That is absolutely..." Derpy started, sounding insulted. Then her tone changed as she said, "true."
"You gonna go talk to him?"
"I wouldn't know what to say." said Derpy, sounding shy. "Hey. You said your name was, like, the cinnamon of love, or something. Right?"
Heartstrings laughed. "Synonym. Sih... no... nim."
"Whatever." said Derpy. "Just help me."
"Fine. Here's what ya do..."
The colt examined a cart full of apples. He stopped when he saw a Pegasus standing next to him.
"Hello." said Derpy.
"Hi."said the colt, hesitantly.
He was about the same size as Derpy. His hair resembled that of Derpy's, just a bit longer. Derpy looked at the apples, trying to think of what to say.
"What's your name?" asked the colt.
Derpy felt her heart skip a beat. She couldn't believe he asked her for her name. And on top of that, she couldn't believe he asked her anything.
"I'm Derpy." she said, making a circle in the dirt with her right hoof. "What's yours?"
"Comet. Nice to meet you."
"You, too." said Derpy in somewhat of a daze.
Comet gave her a nice smile and walked away. Derpy let out a sigh as Heartstrings came up next to her.
"Well, that wasn't so bad, was it."
"He's amazing." said Derpy, still making circles in the dirt with her hoof.
