//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Time's Derp // by Blue Jewel //------------------------------// "Time? Are you alright?" Derpy waved her hoof in front of the earth pony's face which seemed a little green. "Time?" Derpy asked worryingly. "Oh sorry Derpy, it's just I can't believe what you just said, "Are you sure you like him?" Derpy sighs, "Whats not to like hes dreamy, smart, funny, and we have a lot of things in common." she smiles. Time cleared his throat, "Well if you really like him, why don't you just ask him out?" he barely gasped out. "Oh I don't know Time, I don't think he'll be interested in a clumsy mare like me." Derpy frowned and looked up at Time, who was biting his bottom lip. "If he doesn't like someone as amazing as you, then he doesn't deserve you. I'm sorry Derpy but I've really need to get going, I'll see you later!" Time walked out of Sugarcube corner leaving behind a dumb-folded gray pegasus. "But, but uhm..." Derpy thought for a minute. "Oh ok bye Time." "Well? what did he say?" Carrot Top asked her best friend. "I think he said I should go for it." Derpy sighed. "See? I told you it wont be so bad, when are planning on telling him?" Derpy was distracted and didn't listen to a word Carrot Top was saying. She still looked out the door, wondering why Time left so suddenly. "Ok Derpy you can do this today is going to be the day you tell Henry you like him." Derpy reassured herself in her mirror. "But what if I can't?" "You can!" "What if he doesn't like me back? Then it's going to be so awkward..." "No Derpy there's no turning back now." Derpy took a deep breath and stepped out of her wardrobe and closed the door with a big yellow star that had Derpy Hooves written across from it. Derpy let in a deep breath and exhaled, Ok let's do this she made her way through the hallway and knocked on Henry's door. Knock knock knock "Yes?" Henry asked. Derpy stomach fluttered and felt flushed. "H-Hi Henry it's me Derpy can I talk to you?"
