"Last delivery of the day!" 'Derpy' still had her hair fancied up. The last package was for Doctor Whooves. He hadn't actually gotten any mail, so she made something herself, so she would have an excuse to go there. As she neared the house, she pulled out the package. This is it. I can't believe I would be the first changeling to ask someone one because they were in love instead of wanting love. I feel nervous though. What if he says no? Grr... Need to think positive. You know what happens when you don't. She crashed into something. "Ow..."
"Ah! Are you okay? I was going out to town to do some shopping, and I crashed into you and... I'm so sorry, Derpy!" 'Derpy' giggled.
"Doctor, it's okay. I'm fine. Nothing was broken." This seemed to calm him down. "Oh! I have mail for you."
"Do you know who it's from?" He knew she usually just said who it was from, but she also just handed him the mail.
"Yeah. It's from me." At this, she blushed. She handed him the package. There was nothing too fancy in it, just her letter to him and a green tie. Doctor Whooves opened the package. He pulled out the tie and mumbled giddily to himself about it being a collector's item. Then came the letter. 'Derpy' held her breath. Here we go... He mumble-read it to himself, his blush getting redder by the second. He looked up, face practically a pomegranate.
"Really? I... you have no idea how happy I am to hear- well, read- this. I... I-I love you, too." 'Derpy' gave him a childish grin.
"Is this one of those mushy fanfiction-type moments where we end up kissing?" Doctor Whooves's blush put Twilight's to shame.
"I... think so." She crouched down and wiggled her rump like a hungry jungle cat. "What are you-" Before he had time to finish, 'Derpy' pounced on him and pinned him down. She kissed him softly and passionately. That was when her life took a turn for the worse. Twilight and Octavia (with the real Derpy still on her back in the cocoon). This ended the blissful moment far too quickly for their tastes. "Being a princess doesn't give you the right to just pop into my house and interrupt... stuff." He began to blush again, seeing the way 'Derpy' was standing over him.
"Well, Doctor Whooves, proof that she's a changeling using your love does give me that right. She is to be taken to Canterlot and dealt with there."
"Wait, slow down. Derpy is not a changeling!"
"Well, the one on Octavia's back isn't, but your marefriend is." 'Derpy' was off of him now, and was hiding in a corner.
"Octavia. What's she talking about?" Doctor Whooves was a little disturbed.
"Show her, Twiley." Twilight nodded. She lifted the changeling pod off of Octavia, and floated it close enough to the Doctor for him to see who was inside.
"D-derpy? So that means..." He looked at the panicking changeling, who was now mumbling to herself about how many different ways she could think of that 'The Queen' would think of to kill her. "You lied to me." That made Thunder Strike snap. She cried, and whimpered about 'Dame Octives,' how she 'hopped Princess Luna would show her up at the court,' and 'the hourglass pommy must hat her,' and other crazy stuff like that. Doctor Hooves was too upset to think straight. He ran off, leaving a crying clone, a trapped original, a too-cheerful bass player, and a very confused alicorn.
Octavia just wasn't sure how the stallion fell for the acting in the first place.
