	Derpy left Sugarcube Corner with Lyra and Heartstrings.
"Well, that was fun." said Lyra, smiling.
"Yeah." Heartstrings laughed. "Pinkie always knows how to throw the best parties."
Derpy looked around and finally spotted Comet.
"There he is." said Derpy, happily. "You girls go. I know where your house is."
Derpy left Lyra and her sister and headed for Comet.
"There she is." said Comet in a playful voice, noticing Derpy's approach.
"Ready?" asked Derpy.
"You bet." Comet replied, smiling.



Derpy and Comet made their way through Ponyville, heading for Lyra and Heartstrings' house. Derpy kept glancing over at Comet, wanting to say something but didn't what to say. Finally Comet spoke.
"Nice night, isn't it?"
"Yeah." Derpy answered quickly. "It is. So why'd you walk away the first time?"
"What do you mean?" asked Comet.
"You gave me your name and you left. Why?"
Comet took a second or two before answering.
"I don't know. I guess I was a little nervous."
"Nervous?" asked Derpy. "I'm the one who's supposed to be nervous."
Comet smiled. "And why is that?"
"Because I'm clumsy. I figure no stallion would go out with me because of it."
"Well, I like your clumsiness, Derpy." said Comet with a smile. "I think it's cute."
Derpy stopped and looked at him. Comet stopped, too.
"Really?" she asked.
"Really." Comet answered.
Derpy smiled and continued to walk. She got closer to Comet until they were touching. She closed her eyes and rubbed her head against his side. He leaned his head to the side so that it was resting on Derpy's head. Her mane felt really soft.
"Comet?" Derpy asked.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I think I love you."
"Really?" Comet asked.
He picked his head up and looked at Derpy. She looked as well.
"Yeah." she answered. "Is that ba--"
Comet leaned in and kissed her on the lips. This surprised her. But her surprise was quickly replaced with this strange new sensation she had never felt before. Was this what love felt like? If so, she loved it. She closed her eyes, savoring this moment.



Derpy and Comet arrived at Lyra and Heartstrings' house. Derpy knocked on the door and Lyra answered.
"Derpy." she said happily. "You made it. And you brought a friend."
"You bet." said Derpy. She leaned in close to Lyra. "He's more than a friend, Lyra."
"Fantastic." said Lyra. "Please. come in. I've been dying to get to know you. And now I get to meet some pony else."
Comet smiled as he followed Derpy inside. She had never felt this way before. this feeling of knowing that there's some pony who cares for her and will always be there for her. It felt great. Wonderful, even. And there was no way she was going to ruin this.
