Twilight has been waiting for-freaking-ever for her first edition, autographed hard cover edition of the newest Prancy Drew novel.

Three times- THREE times it's been improperly delivered, and Twilight has HAD IT with the town's mail system and the town's mail mare!!

Derpy doesn't have the easiest life. Her eyes being a little wacky, her balance not that great, her clumsiness, they all make things hard for her. Some ponies call her stupid, others just not right. But when it comes to family? Derpy is an expert.

Thats probably why her favorite tradition is decorating the tree.

Ditzy Doo isn't one to keep secrets. But after a sudden storm and an anniversary she'd rather not celebrate, heartache, pain, and constant reminders drive the single mother to tell her daughter Dinky a secret she's been hiding for most of the filly's life. The truth about her father, Dizzy Doo.

[A one-shot dedicated to Single Mothers, who's husbands have passed away for any reason. And to my sister, who lost hers to Cancer, leaving behind three sons to carry on his name.]

On the surface, Derpy Hooves is doing well. She has a comfortable home, a happy daughter, and a steady job.

Below the surface, things aren't adding up. The house needs fixing, Dinky needs sitters, and Derpy's hours are being cut back.

When the one pony who can really get under Derpy's skin pushes her toward a decision she can't make, everything threatens to come crashing to a halt.

This is my entry for the Outside contest.

Note: This story takes place before Father's Day.

Mother's Day has finally rolled around this year and Dinky couldn't be more excited if she tried. However, it seems that Derpy can't exactly say the same. In an effort to arrange a free day to spend with her filly, she accidentally overworks herself without finishing her last job. Dinky, seeing how hard she's worked for her, vows to finish what her mother had started, even if it means becoming her mother in the process.

Everypony is her own worst critic, but few take it to the extreme that Derpy does. Still, where friendship and magic abound, a helping hoof is never far away, if only she'll reach out and take it.

Thanks to PresentPerfect and NTSTS for feedback.

This is the story of a young girl who had given up all hope. After being born with a deformity, was mocked for it, and losing both her parents, she was left with nothing but dark clouds of depression and sadness.

But when a young man with the hope of a sunny day comes into her life, she might come to see that when dark clouds come our way, the best thing to do is to look toward the silver lining.

This is the story of Derpy.

From the mind of Lapis-Lazuli...

When Dinky Doo finds something unexpected under her bed, she decides to find out what put it there.
