Planet Express's Package Pony

by MrAquino


An unnatural gift

"NO!!! I HATE HIM!!!" Derpy screamed at the top of her lungs! She held onto the door's frame for dear life as Leela tried pulled her into one of the building's rooms: Zoidberg's room. Everyone was going to another planet for yet, another package delivery, but due to it's inhabitants having a love for equine meat, Derpy had to stay behind with Zoidberg for the mission.
"Derpy!" Leela struggled "You have to stay!"
"NO!!! Zoidberg sucks!!!"
"You got that right!" Bender yelled around the corner. After a few moments of struggling, Leela successfully pulled Derpy into the office of Dr. Zoidberg, placing her on the lobster's desk. Derpy tried her best to hold onto Leela, but failed, missing Leela's arm and dangled over the desk.
"We'll be back soon," Leela reassured "just behave yourself for a while." Leele closed the door behind her. Derpy sat on her haunches, crossed her forelegs, and pouted, grumbling to herself.
"Yeah, like that's gonna happen." she said to herself "... Where's that cookbook?" The door opened again, and Zoidberg came in wearing the same doctor's outfit (which reeked of feces) and blue sandals (worse). Just the presence of him and his smell made the filly gag.
"Relax, Derpy," Zoidberg spoke, walking and sitting on his desk. "I have studied your kind via internet and picture books." He showed her his 'evidence'.
"...Those are cat calendars you idiot!" He looked at the calendars, then back to Derpy.
"Fine, but I think you'll enjoy this ~bone~." He lifted a femur bone to her. Derpy swiped it away from him.
"That's for dogs!"
"Alright, calm down. I think you just need some fresh air."
"Damn straight!" Zoidberg picked Derpy up, followed by him opening a window. He stuck Derpy out, who saw how high she was, and scrambled "AAHH!!! Zoidberg!!! What the hell are you-!?"
"Have fun!" He dropped Derpy. Derpy screamed as she fell to the floor, hooves scrambling wildly in the air. She shut her eyes tight and covered her face as she was both close to the floor and felt a tingle on her back. All that was heard was a low buzzing noise. After a while, Derpy reopened her eyes and looked down; she was close to the floor, but her hooves dangled above just by a few inches. She heard the low buzzing noise and looked back: rapidly beating in a blur of gray, Derpy's wings were moving rapidly.
I'm... flying!? Derpy thought to herself Hold on... I have wings on my back... I'm really different from that stallion... Derpy, you idiot! Flying is part of me! Derpy felt herself rise up a bit, feeling her wings beat harder. Wait a minute... let's science this. If I beat my wings faster, I shall rise, and vice versa. She concentrated, slowing her wings down a bit, making her descend Great! Now... what about moving forward? Maybe leaning? Leaning forward, she went forward a bit, though she had to keep her head up to remain in balance. Okay, but... why does this feel so familiar? Maybe I should just... let go. Taking a deep breath while closing her eyes, Derpy ignored all the things around her, focusing on something that was new, yet familiar at the same time. Reopening her eyes, she gasped as she was miles above New-New York's floor.
"HOLY SH-" Before she could finish, a large honk was heard. Turning, Derpy saw a large truck about to hit her. She reacted quickly, flying below the truck easily and flew right up! She laughed at what just happened and released herself. She flew across New-New York, passing by the windows of cars & building alike, all with very fitting music played on the loudspeakers around. The wind moved her mane & tail back, adrenaline pumped throughout her body, but Derpy felt that she could conquer anything, and if she couldn't, it was an easy escape for her. She saw the Planet Express ship in the distance, along with the planet express building.
Oh sweet Celestia! Just wait until they see this! ... Wait. 'Sweet Celestia'?

Inside Planet Express's main building, Leela kicked Zoidberg as he rolled into a ball on the floor.
"Where the hell is Derpy!?" Leela demanded
"I told you," Zoidber replied through tears "she flew away!"
"Preposterous!" Farnsworth spoke "due to the size of Derpy's wings and her weight, there's no way she could fly! Not unless she's a bee in disguise."
"I'm telling the truth! She flew away after I dropped her out of the window." This received one of Leela's roundhouse kicks.
"THE WINDOW!?!?!?" Leela yelled, now furious. "YOU DROPPED HER OUT OF THE WINDOW!!!"
"Th-the birdie needs to fly."
"She is not a bird! She is a-"
"'Sup, guys!" Derpy spoke. Everyone turned to see Derpy fly in through the open roof and land near them, though it wasn't the most graceful landing, as she fell onto her front with her hind legs & flank in the air.
"DERPY!!!" Leela ran and picked up Derpy, hugging her tightly "Oh, my snuggwy wuggy fiwwy! You're not hurt, are you!? Oh, I should've just took you with us; the mission was cancelled and now we have a bunch of old New year crap."
"Ah, don't worry mommy, I had fun!"
"How the hell did she do that!?" Bender demanded
"Disguised bee?" Fry whispered.
"Get back, all of you!" The professor demanded, taking Derpy out of Leela's arms. "This is incredible! I need to find out how you're able to fly! This will be so much easier, and safer, than testing with those damn bees."
"For science!" Derpy cheered.

Even with the latest technology, there was no explanation as to how Derpy could lift off, let alone, fly. While the professor was stumped about how he couldn't find out how Derpy flew, everyone else (minus Zoidberg) found it amazing as how Derpy flew around without any problem, though her landings needed some work. As for Zoidberg... Derpy had a restraining order on him that would last for an entire month.
