  "How does, you know, kissing work, in this world?"

Derpy turns her head over her shoulder to look at the Doctor where he's splayed out on the couch, narrowing her eyes. "I mean, we have lips and tongues and stuff, I guess... I just... I've never, you know... Kissed anypony."

Bolting up from his spot, face comically shocked, he clears the space between them in one bound. "How can you have never been kissed, Derpy!? You even have a little one!"

Pursing her lips, Derpy flips her hair over her lazy eye out of habit. "I, ummm... Don't like to talk about it, Doc."

"Oh." Biting his lip now, the Doctor knickers under his breath. "I'm sorry, Derpy. I guess I just don't think about these things that I say, and--"

"No! No, Doc, you're ok, I just don't want to talk about it." Giving him a small, nervous smile, Derpy taps her hoof on the coffee table next to her love seat. "I've never dated anypony or anything, and I just... Guess I've never felt the need to kiss anypony, either." 

Scuffing his hoof on the carpet a few times, the Doctor huffs a sigh. "Well, I'm sorry, Derpy, if it makes any difference. I didn't mean to bring up anything uncomfortable and-- mmff..." He would've continued to apologize, if it wasn't for the lips on his.

Derpy pulls away, sitting back on her haunches on the couch. "Sorry, Doc. I know it wasn't too good, but it was my first kiss."

"I-- uh, umm, well, yes. *ahem*" He fans himself, unhelpfully, with a hoof. "Yes. Umm. Very good, miss Hooves."

"Derpy."

"Yes."
