//------------------------------// // Muffins Heal All Wounds. // Story: No. I Have One. // by Applejack App //------------------------------// I slowly pushed my scooter down Main Street in a very bored manner, my friends Applebloom and Sweetie were busy today with their families. So I was hanging out by myself for the day, thoughts of perhaps dropping in on Dash crossing my mind. “There you are!” Ms.Derpy flew out of the sky in a lopsided way, her hooves skidding across the dirt wildly. Her off center eye locking onto me as she smiled brightly, in a matter of seconds she galloped over and patted my mane softly. “Uh hi?” I pulled away slightly from her hoof and smoothed out my mane back to normal. “I made you a gift Scootie!” She let a squee escape her lips and spun around, reaching for a large basket of muffins she placed at my hooves. “Wow cool!” I couldn’t help but tear the plastic off the side of the basket, muffins of all kinds overflowing from within. I personally reached for a chocolate chip muffin, taking a large bite off the side allowing the buttery goodness to wash over me. “Heehee. Glad you like them. Now remember to share with the other children.” Derpy giggled as she started to flutter her wings in place, ready to jolt off. “Other children?” I tilted my head to the side slowly confused as I chewed on my treat. “You know at the home dear.” Derpy replied back as I simply narrowed my eyes to her slowly. “Erm. I have a family and a home.” I spoke up and wiped a few crumbs off my muzzle. “What?!” She gasped in complete shock and fell to the ground with a dull thud, sitting on her flank in silence. “Yes a family. With a mom and a dad.” I scoffed to the older mare in annoyance. “Oh! Do you mean like at the Ponyville Graveyard?” She spoke in a soothing tone while ears pinned back sadly. “No! Like two blocks down the road!” I tossed a muffin behind me in anger. “Um. You mean you like still see them…” She narrowed her eyes slowly. “They’re ALIVE!” I scolded in a loud scream. “Oh! I’m so sorry...I mean happy...no sorry...um.” Derpy gazed down in shame, unable to know how to react. “...” I glared in silence a frown on my muzzle, never flinching or changing. “Do I take back the muffins?” Derpy shrugged her shoulders softly in confusion. “...” I wrapped my hooves around the basket and pulled it closer to my side. “I’ll just go now.” Derpy sighed and flew back off into the distance. If only this would be the last time this happened to me today.
