‘A love triangle… this can’t be good. If this is a real triangle then that means…’ I stopped dead, ‘This means that Derpy probably likes Rarity!’ I was beginning to tear up. So much for my chance with her... but wait… I should at least ask her if this is true, maybe… maybe I still do have a chance! This removed my sadness and I begin trotting to Derpy’s house. ‘But still… what could Rarity like in me?’ I thought. ‘I mean sure, I’m good with reading and sure I can organize well enough, but I mean…’ I was at a loss. I simply didn’t know what to think of it, so I banished the thought and began thinking of how the day might go. ‘She said she wanted to have some brunch at her house, so I guess it won’t be anything special.’ Ok that made me a bit sad, ‘Ah well it’s not like she… she ever liked me. But still there’s always that possibility.’
“Hey, Derpy’s House!” I exclaimed. I pranced over to the door and gave a knock. ‘No going back now…. just go with the flow…. try to lead the conversation into partners and then ask her out.’ Ok, I had my game plan, and waited for her to answer. And waited. And waited. ‘Oh no,’ I thought, ‘what if she forgot about the date? What if… what if she got cold feet? What if…’ The door opened, and I stood gazing at the most beautiful mare I’d ever seen. She was, as always, cross-eyed and gave me a warm smile.
“Duh… hey Twilight! Would you care to um… come in?” She opened the door more and stuck out her fore hoof, I shook it and it. Was. Amazing. She ushered me to her kitchen where she had already laid out a plate of muffins. I looked around her home; it was quite small— but not cluttered. On the contrary it was actually very homey and I loved it, for it was much warmer than my cold cold library. The walls were decorated with family photos of Derpy and Dinky. Although there was just the two of them, they seemed like a happy family. The living room was a little messy, but I didn’t mind. It was probably from Dinky playing around with her toys. Speaking of which.
“Hey Derpy?” She looked at me. “Where’s Dinky been lately?” Something was off about her. Were her eyes… normal??
“Oh well, that silly filly is always playing hide and seek. Would you like to meet her?”
Ok something was definitely off about her, or rather… on about her.
“Uh sure but if I may ask, what happened to your way of speaking? And… why aren’t your eyes crossed?”
“Oh,” she laughed, “I guess I should come clean, you see I’ve been acting that way in public so as not to let anyone know about my true self.” I was shocked.
“But… certainly you’d want everypony else to know about who you really are.” There was a pause, but soon she looked me in the eye, it wasn’t in a cold way, just… firm.
“Every single pony has their own demons, I’d like mine to stay where they are.”
I didn’t know what she meant, and I couldn’t continue as Dinky quickly hopped up to Derpy, where she hugged her.
“Hey there, sweetie! How was your day playing with your new toys?”
She looked up into her eyes, and I suppose something clicked because Derpy just said, “Oh well would you like someone to play with you?” Dinky stared at her again, and Derpy said, “Great well how’s about some muffins for our little star?”
I couldn’t help but blush, ‘she said we like… as if we’re a family. Maybe there is a chance with her and I.
“Hey Twilight, you coming to eat some brunch or not?” She said with a wink. I smiled and joined her and Dinky. For a while we just sat in silence and I’m sure like me, they were basking in the delicious flavor of Derpy’s homemade muffins.
“Mm, Derpy did you make these from scratch?” I asked between bites.
“Yes, we have a little family recipe that Dinky and I made together.” She said with obvious pride.
“Well it’s certainly something to behold!” I said while checking out her kitchen. Just like the rest of her house it was too really cozy with spices scattered all over the counter-tops, cinnamare, Nicemeg, and a lot more I haven’t even heard of. I liked this place, I liked it a lot and I liked Derpy. This was just a great day so far.
After we finished, Derpy let Dinky escort us to her playroom, where we gathered up some little pony dolls and played house. I found that Dinky didn’t know how to speak yet, so in order for a communication, Dinky gives Derpy stares and Derpy can easily interpret them without fail. It seemed like an ingenious resource for messaging. We played house for quite a while, and I honestly must say, it actually was pretty fun! I mean sure about as far as dolls go for me I saw them in toy stores, and I never really got into them. But I’m digressing. So we played for around an hour or two and by that time Dinky was getting a bit sleepy, and starting to droop a little.
Derpy chuckled lovingly, “Look like someone had an exciting day.” She pulled her on her back and was carrying her to her bedroom. She laid her down ever so gently. As she pulled the covers over her, and kissed her goodnight, I swear this mare deserved mother-of-the-year award. I was smiling like crazy from the loving care that this mare seemed to have. “Ahem, Twilight would you mind me showing you something?”
I blushed deep crimson, “Uh… sure what would that be?” She saw my blushing and laughed.
“Follow me.” She led me to a huge room filled with… books. Yeah. Books. I stood there jaw dropped. She chuckled, “I thought you might like them.” She said with a wink.
“But… how long have you had this room?” I ask still gawking at the shelves.
“Well I actually have had it for little more than a week… you see I figured that you’d like this a lot, so I got it just for you.”
“Why… why would you do all this just for me?”
She gazed right into my eyes, and I swear I let out a Fluttershy squeak, “I ah, I wanted to get your attention…”

Derpy woke up and found that it was yet another chilly day, snow, frost, and all. She decided to make some grass-cakes for Dinky before she went off to school. She walked into the pantry and pulled out some instant-mix for grass-cakes. Pouring a cup into the mix bowl, and adding water she stirred it until it was just right and scooped up little spoonfuls and began cooking them. She set the heat to medium and tip-hoofed to Dinky’s room, where she gently tugged at her mane, “Come on now precious it’s time for breakfast.” Dinky woke with a start and gazed at the mare. Derpy playfully snorted, “ Well are you going to eat or not?” Derpy smiled at led the filly to her table where she pulled out two plates and made breakfast.
Once breakfast was done, she gave Dinky a kiss on the cheek and watched as her flesh and blood walked off to school. She gave yet another smile “Looks like you’ve done a great job.” As she goes back into the living room, she flips on the Celestia-Vision, or C.V. and watched a re-run of some newscast. She wasn’t paying much attention until the camera zoomed in on the 6 mares so called, “The Elements of Harmony” She noticed a certain lavender mare looking sheepishly at the camera. Derpy sighed and walked towards the window to gaze at the beautiful scenery. She noticed Twilight coming out of her library, and gasped. “Maybe I can try to get a date with her. Now… how can I get close to her?” She saw as Twilight walked in the direction of Sugarcube Corner. “That’s it!!” She said as she rushed outside to Sugarcube corner. Derpy made sure that she was well hidden, and that Twilight couldn’t see her as she approached. She sneakily made her way into the Shop.
“Well hey Derpy, how’s everything going? Great I suppose right?” Pinkie said as she shook off some decorations from the ceiling. ‘Oh Celestia I forgot to cross my eyes!’ Derpy thought as she wobbled her head and fixed her eyes to their original Herpy-Derpy position.
“Duh… well it’s going pretty good, hey um… Pinkie can I have a few muffins for my daughter? She loves your muffins!”
“Well of course silly! Hang on I’ll go get a fresh batch from the oven!” She bounced over to an oven and came back with a pink box of muffins. “5 bits please!” Pinkie said with excitement and a smile!
“D’oh, sure thing!” Derpy pulled out 6 bits and put them on the counter. “Just keep the change.” Pinkie gave a big hug and inserted it into the cash register. The door’s bell rung, Derpy turned and saw that Twilight had entered the building. ‘Think fast!’ Derpy thought, and she quickly rammed into Twilight with the box of muffins. ‘Take your shot!’ Derpy thought as she stared into Twilight’s eyes. She was… simply at a lost. So she looked down and said, “Duh… sorry I wasn’t watching where I was going.” She bent down and picked up her spilt muffins and hurried out of the door, almost in tears. When she got home she cried on her couch. ‘So stupid… stupid stupid stupid!!!’ She mentally scolded herself, but then stopped. “Wait… WAIT! I think I can use that… I can… OH! I can write a letter to Twilight asking her to come over for a date!’ This thought got her back on her feet and she started writing the letter….

“You… wanted to get my attention?” I asked as I stared into her eyes.
“Well yeah, I’ve… I’ve had my eye on you I mean uh… no no… I’ve been interested in you for while and I was wondering if… if we could—“ Thunder crackled in the distance causing us both to jump.
“I think it’s kind of late, wouldn’t you say?” I say as I check out the sky. Rainbow dash must have planned a surprise rainstorm. “Well do you think I can stay for a while?” I laughed at that, “ I mean for the night? It looks like it’s going to be a bad storm.”
Derpy nodded and made the couch up with covers and a pillow, “You can take my bed, I’ll be ok out here.” She gave me a warm smile and hugged me. She hugged me. Wow, and I thought her hoof shake was good. She walked me to her bedroom where she laid me down and tucked me in. I was blushing the whole time.

I dreamt. I dreamt of a storm. Not like a regular storm with rain and wind, but one of creatures, which looked ugly and hideous. The creatures bared their fangs at me, making faces even Discord himself would find scary. It wasn’t until what seemed like forever that I was awaken by that lovely goddess, Derpy Hooves.
She gave me a worried look and said, “You going to be alright?”
The truth was easy to find, “No.” I said and that must have been all that was needed because then she climbed in bed next to me. I was definitely a deep crimson as I felt Derpy’s body heat slowly curled over me. I shuddered a bit and Derpy thought that was a shiver of terror so she put her fore hooves around me. I wasn’t thinking clearly so I just put my fore hooves around her and cuddled with her. She kissed me, right on my mouth. Now I know over fifty million seventy thousand eight hundred and forty six words, but I was certainly at a loss for words at the kiss. ‘I guess she does love me…’ I thought as I kissed her deeper. Her tongue and mine entwined and I felt a great ecstasy. We parted for a breath, and at that I instantly fell asleep.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
I woke up the next day, and found that I was still cuddling with Derpy who was still asleep. Ironically she woke up at that moment, too.
“Hey Derpy…?”
“Yes… Twilight?”
“Did…” I started sweating, but then the thought of last night relieved me. “Did you plan out the act with the muffins four days ago?”
She gave long pause, “Yeah… I did.”
“Hey Derpy…?”
“Yes?”
“Would you go out with me?”
She kissed me and I returned the kiss without a moments notice, “Yes…”
