Derpy Hooves' Mailmare Adventure

Another boring day at the Ponyville Post Office.
Derpy Hooves is at the counter, bored as she ever was.
Until coming through the door is the master of chaos himself, Discord.
Derpy smiles wide just at the sight of him.
Discord walks over to the counter. "Hello, yes," He magically makes a small package appear next to him, "I need you to deliver this here package to my dear friend Fluttershy."
"Uh huh. It's a done deal." Derpy flies herself over to the package, taking it up with her hooves.
"Oh, I should mention, that it's not an "ordinary" package, but a magic package. Also, be careful. It's super fragile. So fragile, that a small, simple leaf can ruin it."
"Huh, oh no." Derpy gasps, holding the package tighter against herself.
"Also, it has to be delivered today."
"Today?" Derpy looks down at the package, uncertain, then looking back up, confident. "We can do this!"
"Oh, what a relief. If you need me, I'll be in my own dimension doing Celestia knows what," Discord snaps his fingers to make himself look like a fighter pilot, wearing a fighter jacket, fighter sunglasses, and all that, "I'll see you later... maybe." Discord snaps himself away, magically appearing outside, floating away ever so freely.
"Weird. Now to deliver this package." Derpy says with the upmost confident.

Walking to Fluttershy's cottage, Derpy Hooves delivering the package from Discord. The package being carried on her back, held tightly on with lots and lots of tied ropes.
"I can do this. I will." Saying to herself before seeing both Lyra and Bon Bon in her way, both ponies looking like they want to ask her something.
"No time girls. I've got a package, and it must be delivered today."
"Okay. Anyway-" Lyra is interrupted by Derpy just walking away from the two.
"Sorry, but I can't talk right now. I've got a job to do."
After another ten minutes, Derpy arrives at Fluttershy's cottage, going over to knock on the door.
A minute later and Fluttershy answers it.
"Hello there. You needing anything?"
"Why yes!" Derpy shows the package to her. "I've got a package here from a-" Derpy looks down at an index card. "A Mr. Cord."
"Oh." Fluttershy takes the package from her, signing for it, then immediately opening it.
Inside the package is nothing.
Fluttershy chuckles to herself as Discord magically appears between the two ponies.
"Huzzah!"
Derpy chuckles to herself too, then walking away to go on back to the Post Office.
