Most adventures start with a dramatic or exciting opening part but not this adventure. This adventure started on a normal day in Equestria the sun was just starting to crack into dawn over the land when our hero even though she doesn't know it yet, was just starting her mail run of the peaceful town of Ponyville.
Derpy always began her route by looking towards the dawn at which point she would say every morning "Once more forward unto dawn".
She had no idea why she liked to say this but it filled her with a sense of pride as she walked to the mail office to pick up her large brown bag and her light grey hat. During her usual walk to the mail office she said her usual cheerful "Hello"
to everypony she saw which was normally just a few Pegasus who were just about to start their weather changing duties.
"LOOK OUT" cried Rainbow Dash a bit to late.
As she crashed into Derpy who yelled with surprise as she discovered she had just landed face first in one of the towns shrubs at which point Rainbow proceeded to exclaim whilst helping Derpy out of the shrub.
"Oh sorry Derpy that was my fault I was in a bit of a rush, I didn't see you until the last second! Erm are you okay?."
exclaimed Rainbow.
Derpy who had just cleared the look of shock on her face hastily told Rainbow.
"Dont worry I'm fine I'd better get going though or I will be late for the mail run, so maybe catch you at Sugar cube corner after my run is done, bye".
When Derpy reached the mail office she quickly put on her hat and slung her bag over her shoulder and walked towards the counter to receive the usual bundle of letters and packages that she had to deliver to the various residents of ponyville. Things such as Rarity's weakly fabric delivery, new books for Twilight which were marked by the royal seal or the occasional letter from someponies relatives but today she noted that apart from all this she had three packages for Twilight which was highly unusual she thought to herself but hey ho a package to deliver is just another mini adventure for her. So she performed her mail run and so maybe she got lost along the way once or twice but she always delivered the mail and today was no exception she quietly put mail through ponies letterboxes as to not wake them and sauntered on her merry way delivering what she hoped would be something good to each pony.
Last of all she reached Twilight's library she politely chapped her hooves against the door to attract Twilight's attention as she needed to sign for her packages.
Twilight opened the door with a cheery smile and said "Good morning Derpy I see you have more packages for me from the princess, I'll just get my quill and ink to sign for them."
Derpy replied with an equally cheery smile and tone of voice "Good morning to you to Twilight, today I have three packages for you to sign for which is rather odd isn't it."
Twilight replied curiously "Three packages today oh my the princess must have something quite important for me to do, well here you go Derpy all signed for, have a wonderful day."
"Thanks, you have a good day as well" Derpy replied leaving for sugar cube corner for her morning hot chocolate with extra cream and a muffin.
After her brisk paced walk to sugar cube corners it was now around mid-morning and she was ready for her breakfast she looked around and the only occupied table was occupied by Rainbow Dash who looked at Derpy and beckoned her to come over and sit with her.
"Yes Rainbow" Derpy asked cheerfully while she sat next to her whilst Mrs. Cake brought over her usual order.
"About earlier you know I'm really sorry about that don't you I mean it I could have really hurt you-" Rainbow was interrupted.
before she could continue as Derpy raised her hoove to Rainbows mouth and spoke "Now Rainbow I said it was okay you don't need to worry about me i'm fine, I did my mail run all fine and dandy. It's not like you broke my wing or anything so don't worry about making it up to me after all it was an accident."
Now they chatted for a while whilst Derpy finished her hot chocolate and her muffin at which point Mrs. Cake came over to the table to collect the dishes and the payment.
"That will be four bits please" she said in an almost a sing-song kind of way. Derpy rummaged in her pockets and her bag for four bits but all she could find was three bits and some pocket fluff she quickly apologized and said she would pay the bits when she got paid.
Rainbow stepped in "Alright Derpy I can pay this for you to make up for earlier"
she searched her pockets for four bits and she gave Mrs. Cake five for her trouble.
After this derpy was tired from her early start so she decided to go home and maybe have a little hour of power in her bed. After trying to read a couple of pages of her favorite book she was asleep and when she awoke she was surprised to find that she had slept an extra hour so it was now early evening, she decided to have an early dinner using a recipe that her grandma had taught her she started to prepare the vegetable soup. No sooner than she had started to chop up the vegetables she was interrupted by three quick knocks at her door.
