How they met (V-Day Special)

Dashie and Derpy in: How they met
(Valentine’s Day Special)

Derpy giggles at her reflection below, peeking over the railing to a bridge into the water. She makes a few faces before turning around to the Doctor, a close friend of hers. “You sure you don’t want to make a few faces at the water Doctor? It’s fun to see what you look like.”

The Doctor chuckles and says, “No thank you Derpy. Your adorable antics are entertaining enough.”

Derpy giggles and says, “Thank you. Doctor, why don’t we hang out anymore? You’re super fun and really sweet.”

The Doctor shakes his head and says, “I’ve just been really busy lately Derpy. I’m still trying to find a new assistant.”

Derpy tilts her head and says, “I could be your assistant Doctor. Or are you afraid I’ll-“

“No!” The Doctor exclaims and pauses for a moment, looking at the slightly hurt Derpy. “Um, n-no Derpy, you can’t be my assistant. It’s not that I expect you to be a screw up or anything, it’s just… personal.”

Derpy scowls and says, “Personal how Doctor? You’ve been hiding something from me for a while and I demand to know what it is!”

The Doctor shakes his head and says, “I’m sorry Derpy, but I can’t tell you! It’s for the best.”

Derpy hangs her head and says, “Are you in love with me Doctor? Is that why you’ve been acting so strange?”

The Doctor smiles, as a tear comes to his eye. “Fascinating, for you to be able to see through me even after the loss of your-“

The Doctor freezes and turns away. Derpy blinks and jolts upright with curiosity. “Wait a minute, the loss of me what?!”

The Doctor shakes his head and says, “It’s for the best that you spend Hearts and Hooves Day with your special somepony Derpy. I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go.”

“Wait!” But it was too late. The Doctor had run off so fast he splashed mud all over a pair of young fillies. Derpy sighs and says, “What did he mean by that? I just don’t understand. Well, I can’t let that get me down. I have to get home before my girlfriend shows up.” She flutters off the ground and zips through the air, zigzagging and loopy looping through the air in an odd flight pattern back to the house.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash has just arrived at her home and knocks on the door. Hanging from her waist was a small bag for carrying an unknown object. When the door opens she finds Dinky there to greet her. “Hi miss Rainbow Dash! Did you come for a visit?”

Rainbow Dash smiles and messes up the filly’s mane and says, “That’s right, Dinky. In fact I have a gift for your mom, so is she home?”

As if on cue, Derpy crashes into the wall next to her with a loud adorable, “Derp!” The side of her face is presses against the wall and her tongue is sticking out as she blinks and says, “Hi love! I think I bit my tongue!”

Rainbow Dash giggles at the adorable girl and says, “Nice to see you too Derpy.” She sets Derpy upright and examines the side of her face. “You okay dear?”

Derpy blushes and tries to push her hoof away. “Come on Dashie, I’m fine. I’ve had worse accidents.”

Rainbow smiles and kisses her cheek. “Just making sure you’re alright sweetie. Now let’s get inside and exchange gifts.” Dinky giggles and trots inside, Rainbow Dash and Derpy following closely as they all walked into the living room. Sparkler and Carrot Top were sitting on the couch talking. “Hey girls, got nowhere else to be today?”

Both girls blush as Carrot is the first to answer. “I’d rather be alone today than force myself to be with one of the odd boys in this town. I’ll just wait till someone more decent becomes available.”

Rainbow Dash coughs “Forever alone” earning a glare from the orange haired pony.

Sparkler giggles and blushes avoiding looking at Rainbow Dash. “I don’t really have a special somepony, but it’s fine. Me and Dinky went and got some sugar cookies from Sugarcube Corner and enjoyed them with auntie Golden Harvest.”

Rainbow Dash smirks and says, “Then why can’t you look at me? What’s wrong? Hiding something?”

Sparkler gulps and leaps from the couch. “Who wants some of those cookies? I’ll go get some!” She hurries off while Rainbow Dash snickers at her.

Derpy rushes into the kitchen and comes back with a box decorated with ribbons and glitter hanging from her mouth. She sets it down and says, “Happy Hearts and Hooves Day love!”

Rainbow Dash blinks as the box was the size of her head. “Wow love, I don’t know what it is, but you shouldn’t have!” She rips open the top of the box opening it, and gasps nearly falling over backwards. Inside the box was a gigantic, solid, chocolate heart! “Holy freak show, is that what I think it is?!”

Derpy nods and says, “I made it with all my love just for you!”

Rainbow Dash licks her lips and says, “You must have had a lot of love to put in this thing then. May I?”

Derpy nods and says, “I’d be insulted if you didn’t!” Rainbow Dash takes a big chunk out of the chocolate heart, munching it down. Derpy claps her hooves together and says, “Yay, you love it! Alright, now what did you get me?”

Rainbow Dash gulps down the chocolate and licks the excess from her lips. She blushes and says, “Well, it’s a little out of character for me I know, but I wanted to make you something Derpy. I got Rarity to teach me, and made you this.” She reaches back into the bag, and pulls out and grey and yellow striped scarf and wraps it around her neck. “It’s still spring time, and it can get a little chilly outside. I know it’s not as good as your gift but-“

She’s interrupted by a hug from a teary eyed Derpy. “Rainbow Dash, I love you! You actually knit me something, and it’s so lovely and warm! Thank you, Dashie. I love you.”

Rainbow Dash tears up and hugs her back saying, “I love you too muffin. I love you too.”

The girls, even Carrot Top, tear up for a group, “Awwww.”

Sparkler sets down the plate of cookies she was carrying on a coffee table and says, “You two are so cute together! I wish I knew the story for that one!”

Carrot Top nods and says, “Actually, I’m kind of curious how you two ended up together myself. Care to tell us?”

Dinky gasps and jumps up and down excitedly. “Please mommy! Tell us the story! Please?”

Derpy blinks and looks to Rainbow, who just giggles and says, “What are you looking at me for? You don’t need my permission goofball.”

Derpy smiles and says, “Well I guess it couldn’t hurt.” Rainbow Dash hops up on to the couch, and Derpy joins her snuggled up against her side closely. Her daughters sat in front of her as they and Carrot listened. “You see, it all started way back when me and Rainy here were first assigned with each other to fetch some clouds from over the everfree forest…”

-----------------------------------------------------------------

“Okay everyone, a small problem. It seems we have a shortage of clouds for today’s weather forecast.” An orange male pegasus calls out over a crowd of others as they hover in the shy. “We won’t be getting any from Cloudsdale in time, so we need to make the best of what we’ve got.”

One girl cries, “But Sunburst, how are we going to make the best if we can’t do anything with what little we have? We need more!”

Sunburst sighs and says, “Look, we would have more, but a majority of our clouds drifted over the everfree forest. Unless you want to fly over it and drag them back here, we need to try.”

Rainbow Dash flies up to him and says, “And just why wouldn’t we do that? Are you scared something’s going to each up into the sky and grab you? We need those clouds to make it rain, so stop being a baby and let’s go get those clouds!”

Everyone begins to cheer and agree with her, Sunburst sighing with a smile. “Alright, alright, but we’re going to stick together. Alright I need everyone in pairs of two.” He begins listing off names and assignments, coming back to Rainbow and saying, “Rainbow Dash, since you’re the fastest I’m going to pair you up with one of our tougher cloud pushers Ditzy Doo. I need you two to go fetch the largest collection of our clouds from that small mountain peak and rush them back here.”

Rainbow Dash salutes him and looks to Ditzy Doo. She’d heard rumors of the ditzy and her destructive clumsiness. She floats over and says, “Looks like we’re working together on this one. I’m Rainbow Dash. You’re… Ditzy Doo?”

The wall eyed pony nods and says, “That’s me! But everyone calls me Derpy Hooves. I don’t mind too much.”

Rainbow Dash giggles and says, “You shouldn’t mind, that’s a cute nickname!”

Derpy blinks and smiles. “You really think so?”

Rainbow Dash nods and says, “Yeah, nicknames show a lot of character. And I like yours. Now come on, we got a job to do.” She flies off towards the peak they were assigned to, blinking after a few seconds noticing she didn’t hear Derpy following. She comes to a stop and peeks back to see the silly pony floating around in curves and loops, humming a tune. “Uh, Derpy… maybe you would fly faster if you flew straight?”

Derpy frowns and says, “But if I don’t fly my own way, then how do I express myself? And besides it’s fun.”

Rainbow Dash sighs and says, “I guess I can understand that, but we’re in a hurry. The rest of the crew needs those clouds to make rain for Ponyville before it’s too late. So could you fly straight just this once?”

Derpy sulks and says, “Okay…”

Rainbow Dash smiles and continues to fly forward; slowing down a little so the other pony could keep up. As they finally reach the clouds she says, “Okay, you start pushing them, and I’ll help you out to make it go a little faster. I’ll start by flying that way, and I’ll come back as fast as I can! With all the momentum I build up, we should send this baby soaring!”

Derpy smiles and says, “Okey dokey artichokey!” She flies behind the cloud and begins to push as Rainbow Dash flies off at high speed, trying to get a good distance. As Derpy pushes the cloud from the mountain, she notices something visible on the rocky cliffs. She squints, curious what it was. Then she gasps as several loud screeches fill the air, and the figures begin to fly towards her. “Harpies!” The humanoid creatures had talons for feet and wings for arms, mouths filled with razor sharp teeth, and eyes like demons. Their stench was enough to make your nose fall off, and their screeches were loud enough to make your ears ring. “Rainbow Dash, help me!”

Rainbow Dash blinks and comes to a stop, looking back and gasping as she can see and hear a swarm of harpies chasing Derpy by the cloud. “Hold on Derpy! I’m coming!” She flies as fast as she can possibly muster, charging straight for the scene and arriving in time to slam into one, knocking her away from Derpy. “Who would’ve guessed it? These harpies must have stolen our cloud to use it as cover for their nests!”

Derpy scowls and says, “Well they can get their own cloud!” She gasps and kicks one that tries to sneak attack Rainbow Dash. “Leave her alone you doody heads!”

Rainbow Dash growls and bounces between them, bucking them back. “Derpy, you need to fly away! I’ll hold them off!”

Derpy shouts, “No! You’re faster and I’m stronger, I’ll hold them off!”

Rainbow Dash glares at her and says, “This is no time to argue! Just do as I say!”

Derpy shakes her head and cries, “No!” She then rushes through the center of the harpies, the majority of them giving chase. “I’ll just lead them away if you won’t run!”

Rainbow Dash gasps and follows as fast as she can. “No Derpy, don’t!” But it was too late, as Derpy couldn’t outrun them. Several of the harpies swarmed her and began lashing at her with their talons. Derpy cries out as one of them rakes her talons along her wings, and she begins to plummet. The harpies’ laughter at this misfortunate event is interrupted by a cyan pony bursting through their group, sending them all reeling backwards. They’re too dizzy to give chase this time, and those that are not try to help the ones that are stay afloat. “Hang on Derpy, I’m coming!” She flies as fast as she can, catching Derpy in freefall and making a ninety degree turn just before hitting the ground. She swerves between trees as best she can, but one gets a good hit to her wing and her flying is thrown for a loop until she twirls straight into a muddy bog.

Rainbow Dash coughs and struggles to get up, gasping and dragging Derpy out of the bog. She groans and as she was covered in scratches and dirt now. She groans and slowly opens her eyes, looking up at Rainbow Dash who was also covered in dirt and had her wing bent the wrong way, panting and staring down at her. “I’m sorry Rainbow Dash… I should’ve listened to you. I just wanted to helpful, but I just cause trouble. That’s all I ever do, for everyone.”

“Derpy, if you weren’t already in so much pain I’d smack you!” Derpy blinks and tilts her head confused at Rainbow Dash’s outburst. “If you let what people say get to you, and spend your life trying to prove them wrong, then of course you’re just going to keep messing up! Do things at your pace, be yourself and do what you’re capable of. Don’t be afraid to push yourself, but don’t be so brave that you go too far! Is this making any sense to you?”

Derpy blinks in surprise and says, “Actually it does… No one’s ever said anything like that to me. It’s… nice.” She smiles, but cringes as a surge of pain comes over her. “My body is on fire!”

Rainbow Dash struggles with the girl, but manages to get her up onto her own back. “We got to get you to a hospital before those wounds get infected.”

Derpy cringes and says, “Just leave me here and go get help. I’ll be fine.”

Rainbow starts walking and says, “Don’t be silly, I’m not leaving you alone in the middle of the everfree forest. And besides, my wings busted too so I wouldn’t be able to get back fast enough to help you. We’re going together, and that’s final. Got it?”

Derpy folds her ears back and stares at the ground. “Yes mam…” The time goes by as Rainbow Dash carries Derpy through the forest, trying to find a convenient route through the thick trees and foothills. After she balances her way across a tree laid over a river like a bridge, she begins to wobble and grunt. “Rainbow Dash, is everything okay?”

Rainbow Dash huffs and says, “I’m fine… But you are a little heavy. What have you been eating?”

Derpy blushes and says, “I like muffins, is that a crime?”

Rainbow Dash snickers and says, “You’ve got to cut back on those. They must be what made your butt look so chunky.”

Derpy’s face goes red as she begins to stutter cutely, making Rainbow Dash laugh. “Shut up! I do not have a chunky butt!” Derpy bites her lower lip, and begins to snicker as well. She cringes and says, “Don’t make me laugh you big meanie.”

Rainbow Dash tries to bring her laughter to a halt, smirking at the girl. “Sorry, I couldn’t help it.” She grunts as she climbs over a fallen tree in her path, trying to be careful about it so Derpy doesn’t fall. “You know, I’m curious, could you really of pushed that entire cloud by yourself?”

Derpy blinks at the sudden question and says, “Well, yeah, but it wouldn’t of been very fast.”

Rainbow Dash smiles and says, “That’s the difference between you and me though. I may have speed, but that’s nothing if I’m not strong enough to move a cloud. Speed and strength are two sides of the same coin.”

Derpy smiles and says, “I never thought of it like that. I guess I really am a special pony after all.”

Rainbow Dash nods and says, “That’s the spirit!”

Derpy nuzzles into the back of Rainbow Dash’s neck and closes her eyes at peace. “Thank you Rainbow Dash, that meant a lot to me.”

It’s Rainbow Dash’s turn to blush now as she says, “H-Hey, think nothing of it. Sometimes you just need someone to tell you how great you are.”

“You’re great to you know. You saved my life, risking your own. You’re my hero… Rainbow… Dash…” She leans forward and gives Rainbow Dash a kiss on the cheek before falling asleep on her back.

Rainbow’s good wing springs upward and she stares back at the girl with a sigh and a smile. “What a goofy girl.” She blinks and notices the end of the forest was finally in view. She hurries as fast as she can, which wasn’t much faster than she was already going, trying to get out before their luck ran out and something attacked them. As she comes out of the forest, she’s greeted by a group of shocked pegasus, who rush to her aid. “Somepony help! She needs medical attention!” Before she could get bombarded with worried questions, the stress on her weak and injured body finally got to her and she blacked out.

When she came to she could see Sunburst and the rest of the cloud crew around her bed in the hospital. She cringes as her wing surged with pain, and looks around wearily. “Hey everypony, I must’ve had you all pretty worried. Ugh, my wing hurts so badly.”

Sunburst laughs and says, “The doctors had to surgically bend it back into the correct joints and preened some of your feathers to aid with the process. You’re not going to fly for a week or two.”

Rainbow Dash sighs and says, “Somepony just kill me now.” She blinks and says, “Wait a minute! What about Derpy? Is she okay?” Sunburst smiles and points to the side, Rainbow following his hoof to see Derpy in the bed next to hers. She was covered in bandages and staring at Rainbow Dash with a big smile on her face. Rainbow giggles and says, “Hey you.”

Derpy says, “Hi Rainbow Dash. The doctors say I’m going to be just fine, but until the scars on my wings fully heal I need to stay off them. Looks like we’re both going to be spending a lot of time on the ground… Maybe together, if you’d like?”

Rainbow Dash nods and says, “I’m not turning down an offer like that, unless I want to bore myself to death.” Both girls giggle before she continues, “Maybe when we can walk out of here, we can get to know each other over a couple of mugs of apple cider?”

Derpy nods and says, “I’d like that.”

Everypony stares at the two, and one of the girls smirks and drags away the night stand separating their beds. A couple of the other mares see what she’s doing and smile, pushing the beds together right at the curtain. Derpy and Rainbow Dash blush, getting winks from the girls. They stare at each other for a moment, and then wrap their hooves around each other’s with their eyes half closed and smiles on their faces.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Derpy nuzzles into Rainbow Dash and says, “And after that, we did get to know each other over cider. We began to hang out more, and our relationship grew into love. We don’t act lovey dovey around town, so we don’t attract much attention. That’s why not a lot of ponies know we’re dating.”

Everypony in the room except Rainbow Dash was staring at Derpy with their mouths hanging open. Sparkler says, “Wow, I wasn’t expecting something like that…”

Carrot Top nods and says, “I was expecting something a bit more adorable, like you meeting over one of Derpy’s accidents.”

Dinky smiles and says, “I thought it was pretty epic, and so romantic!”

Rainbow Dash giggles and says, “Since everypony is satisfied, can the two of us get a couple minutes of privacy?” Everyone smiles and nods at each other, walking to the kitchen together. Rainbow Dash smirks and rolls Derpy on her back, pinning her to the couch. “Now there’s one more thing I owe you for Hearts and Hooves Day, my lovely Derpykins. Or would you rather I call you ‘Dizzy Danger’?”

Derpy goes wide eyed and blushes at the position she’s in and Rainbow’s words. She giggles and says, “Only if you let me call you ‘Daring Do’, love.”

Rainbow Dash laughs and says, “You’re such a big brat sometimes, I swear.”

“Not as big as you love.” They lean in close to each other, and their lips lock. They kiss for what seems like minutes, stopping only to breathe. Derpy licks her lips and says, “You taste like chocolate.”

Rainbow Dash laughs and says, “Happy Hearts and Hooves Day my love.”
