Duo had been patiently waiting a his desk, checking the clock on the wall every so often to see how much time was left. He was practically half-asleep when he heard the bell ding from the entrance. He quickly shook his head before seeing Derpy Hooves walking through his door.
"Good Morning Mrs. Hooves." Duo said with a smile.
"Please, Duo, call me Derpy. We are all friends here." Derpy replied with a giggle.
"Very well then, Derpy, would you care to tell me the reason you think you need... therapy?" His voice trailed off when he saw Derpy staring a something behind him. "Uh... are you okay?"
Derpy Hooves slowly walked towards Duo and leaned in close towards him. "I am not here for therapy, I am here to help you."
Duo raised a eyebrow at her words. "Help me? What do you mean?"
Derpy made both of her eyes stare at Duo's, slightly creeping him out for some reason, before speaking. "Why do you think one of my eyes is always staring at a different direction from the other?"
"Isn't that because of a generic disorder, or head trauma?" He asked with mild curiosity.
"It's because that eye is always watching the demons wandering about the place. In fact, there is one behind you right now." She said as she suddenly stared up at a corner of the ceiling.
Duo, taken back from her confession and sudden movement, could not help but turn to look behind him. However, he found nothing there. "Derpy, are you seeing things? There is nopony there."
Derpy grabbed Duo's head with her hooves, and turned it to face her. "Look at the area again, but with your peripheral vision."
Duo decided to humor the mare so, doing as he was told, he looked at the ceiling with the corner of his eye. What he saw, however, was enough to make him fall back in fright before looking at Derpy. "What is that?!"
"Relax Duo, that is just an observer, the only thing it does is watch and observe ponies. It's harmless." She said with assurance.
Hearing this had the effect it wanted since Duo was starting to calm down. "So, how do I get rid of it?"
Derpy put a hoof to her chin in thought, eventually shrugging after a few seconds. "Beats me, I will have to talk to Time Turner about that. Anyway, I should be heading out, I have to get to work. I will be back again when I find out how to remove the observer. " After saying this, she waved goodbye and walked out the door.
Duo was speechless as he subconsciously waved back. When she was gone, he found his voice again. "I am now scared to find out what the rest of the day has in store for me..."
