It was a beautiful day, the snow bearing down on the inhabitants of Ponyville. All around ponies were chatting as they milled about. It was a beautiful winter, and everywhere one looked there were signs of this, from the festivities ponies had put up in preparation for Christmas to the hot chocolate stands present for ponies to fight away the cold. It was a merry day, and everypony was happy.
Almost everypony.
Derpy wiped her eyes with her hoof, drying the tears that were present there. She was at her house in the outskirts of Ponyville, huddled on her couch, crying softly. Earlier, when she was on her way home from the bakery, she had been mercilessly teased by bullies, as she always had been. She tried to ignore it, as she usually did, but it was getting harder, and the words got to her. She sniffled, got up, made some hot chocolate and huddled back down on the couch, this time with a blanket.
Derpy longed for an escape. She longed for an adventure. She sighed, as she remembered the last adventure she had been on many months ago. She had seen sights across time and space that would leave even the princesses in awe. It was on these adventures she had learned to love a certain madpony and the wooshing sound his amazing blue box made.
That beautiful wooshing sound. With her eyes closed, she could almost hear that sound now. That sound that always signified the start of an adventure. She had fallen in love with that sound, just as she had fallen for the pony that owned the box that made it.
Wooosh Wooosh. That amazing, amazing sound.
Thud
She opened her eyes, no longer crying, and smiled. That sound wasn't her imagination.
The Doctor was waiting for Derpy inside the TARDIS. When she entered, they greeted each other calmly.
"Hello, Miss Whooves."
"Hello, Doctor."
They stared at each other for a moment. Then, unable to keep up the charade, they both grinned wildly and ran to each other and hugged.
"Ah, its good to see you, Derpy," said the Doctor as he ran his hoof through Derpy's yellow mane.
"I missed you, Doc." Derpy pulled back slightly. "I missed you so much."
Derpy looked at the pony in front of her. She loved his spiky mane, his goofy grin, his clever mind, his cute bow tie. She loved everything about him so, so much. With all these thoughts, and them already hugging, she couldn't help herself.
She kissed him.
She had planned the kiss to be a quick one, but, caught in the intimacy of things, she locked his head in place with her hoof and deepened the kiss. If the Doctor was counting, he would note that it lasted a whole 22 seconds.
Of course, the Doctor wasn't counting. His head, usually filled with so many thoughts at once, was only concerned with the beautiful, wonkey eyed mare who had her lips pressed against his.
