What would happen if the Death Note were to fall into Equestria? And what would happen if, during its fall, its very ability changed, to cope with the new universe, and became the Derp Note? These two questions, and more, shall be answered in... The Derp Note!

In an attempt to get away from home and see a different world, I moved to Equestria. A lot of humans have recently, so it's not unusual for me to be here. While I'm still getting used to talking horses, I never thought about dating one. I'm still not totally on board for the whole cross species thing, but it's not uncommon anymore so I don't worry about it too much. My closest friend, a Unicorn called Twilight Sparkle, has been kind enough to let me stay at her library while I search for a home here myself. Her boyfriend, who's actually a human too, and I don't get along too well, but for her sake, I don't say anything too bad about him in front of her. But I just didn't expect things to escalate between us like they did.

*This story takes place when Twilight doesn't have wings and isn't a Princess.*

Twilight has always preferred indoor activities like reading, to outdoor ones. But after not leaving her home for a long time, her friends decide they need to try to get the bookworm out of her shell. And out of her house.

A normal day was all it took.
A simple failed prototype, a missed experiment.
There was an explosion, and I woke up. I don't really know what happened between those two events, but I'm fairly certain I shouldn't have awoken in a small, dark box.

I'm scared.
