	As the day went on, Derpy had explored the little wooded area was hiding in. The sun stood high in the sky.
 
A couple of hours had gone by since the creature walked out of the house. Now, it returned. Derpy got curious once again and tried to get a good spot so that she could study the two-legged creature even more. But once again, she was too shy to greet it. The creature walked into the house, and closed the door. But after a couple of seconds, it came out again, and walked towards the forest.
 
This was Derpy's chance. 

The creature came closer, and closer to Derpy. She had butterflies in her belly. This strange creature walked along the same path into the woods as the other creature and his dog did, and now Derpy couldn't hold it in anymore. She walked quietly closer to the creature, as it walked on the path. Derpy didn't want to scare it from behind, so she lifted from the ground and flew a couple of metres so that she could be in front of it when it passed by. Derpy landed behind a tree. The creature almost walked past her, until Derpy went up.

"...Uhh... Hello?" Derpy said, walking onto the path. The creature turned around. And stared. It was quiet. Derpy looked it in it's eyes. Instead of curiousness, she feared it. After one minute of neither one speaking the creature returned her greeting.

"Hi," It said, and it smiled. Derpy sighed with relief. She opened her mouth to speak, but the creature cut her off."You are Derpy Hooves, right?" Derpy's heart stopped beating. They knew about her here too? Well that was it. 

"Yeah.. that’s me... b-but I-" she started, but got cut off by the creature once again.

"Don't worry about it. But for those who don't know about you it can be a little dangerous, I guess. Come, let's go here." The creature said and walked out of the path. Far away from it, where no one could see them, they at last started to sort out things.

"Okay, Derpy. Why are you even here? Why aren't you in Equestria?" the creature asked. Derpy was blown away with the words. How did this creature know everything about her world? About Equestria? Who she actually was? Did it know about the other ponies too? "All I know is that... people found you offensive. But you could have stayed, right?" Derpy looked at her silently for a moment before responding.

"I got kicked out of Ponyville, and Equestria, and I got replaced. I had nowhere to go. So I walked. Probably a hundred miles, or at least it felt that way. I was walking in a dark forest, until a new environment surrounded me. And I entered this.. strange world." Derpy at last explained. 
"I see."

"...Where am I anyway?" Derpy asked with a bothered tone.

"Of course, you don't know. You’re in a completely another dimension. We call our planet Earth. Which you have entered." 

"Earth..." Derpy repeated the name to herself, then looked back at the creature. "What are you creatures then? You look weird.." 

"Oh. We are humans. But hey, do you have anywhere to stay?" The human asked. 

"No, I don't." Derpy answered. 

"In that case, why don't you stay with me?" The human said with a smile on her face, and rubbed Derpy's mane a little. Derpy hesitated, but answered with an soft "right". Then they walked to the humans house. When they entered the house, there was a room to the left. The human walked in to it, and sat down in her bed. 

"This is my room. Make yourself at home!" It said warlmy. Derpy walked into the small room. When she entered, she could see a huge black rectangle . Then, there was another rectangle, but smaller, on a tiny table, hidden among clutter. Then there was a bed. To the left when she entered the room, there was a closet. Everything was so tall! But Derpy sat down on the floor. "Haha! Come up here instead!" the human patted the bed. Derpy flapped soft with her wings and landed on the bed. It was soft.
 Then, the human, who called herself “Flaffy”, answered all of Derpy’s questions about the world she was in. That there also was seasons, that years passed by. Flaffy told Derpy about the universe, some places to visit, that the monsters outside that made a loud sounds weren’t monsters, that they were called “cars”, and that people often used to travel in them. Yes, Derpy learned a lot in one day, and it would take time for her to get used to it.
 
The hours went on and it was already 9 pm. 

"I think you've had a long and tough day, am I right?" Flaffy asked Derpy. 

"Yeah.." Derpy responded with an yawn. Flaffy carried Derpy to her bed, and laid a blanket softly over her. Flaffy walked out of the room to watch Big Brother on the TV. 

Derpy finally relaxed, from all the drama, all the pain and punishment she had taken, she could finally start everything over. But one thing bothered her still - what would the other humans think about her? 
And Flaffy tried to hide something, how did she know about Derpy? Could she be a spy? She wanted the truth.
