To Lyra Heartstrings the envelope read. 

"Lyra Heartstrings," said Rainbow Dash to nobody in particular. "If I don't know who or where this pony lives, then how do I deliver mail to her?"

Well time to ask random ponies where this one lives. thought Rainbow Dash. She was going to ask who this pony was to deliver the mail. She gave her word to Derpy, and she was going keep it.

"Hello," Rainbow Dash greeted a mint green coloured pony with harps as her cutie mark. "Do you know who Lyra Heartstrings is?"

The pony nodded her head. "Yes, I do. In fact, I'm Lyra Heartstrings! I'm going home to see if Derpy has arrived with the mail yet. "

Rainbow Dash took out the envelope that said "To Lyra Heartstrings" out of the mail bag. 

"Here," Rainbow Dash gave Lyra the envelope. Before Lyra could ask why, Rainbow Dash explained why she was delivering mail instead of Derpy. "Derpy is...busy, so I'm supplying for her."

Rainbow Dash shuffled through the envelopes in the mail bag. She picked a random one out and held it up. To Doctor Whooves, it read.

"Wait, Lyra," Rainbow Dash stopped Lyra in her tracks. "Can you tell me where Doctor Whooves lives please?"

"Of course," Lyra smiled before telling directions on how to get to Doctor Whooves house. Rainbow Dash thanked her, and raced off towards Doctor Whooves house.

Rainbow Dash knocked on the plain door knob. The door opened, and a plain, brown pony came out.

"Oh! Hello, I was expecting Derpy with my usual mail," the stallion said, surprised that Derpy hadn't come yet.

"Sorry, Derpy's not available, I am delivering mail for her as a substitute." Rainbow Dash took out the letter. "Here is your mail by the way."

Next was one to Twilight. Rainbow Dash sighed a sigh of relief, she didn't need to guess where Twilight lived. Rainbow Dash flew to Twilight library as fast as she could. 

"Twilight, here's your mail," Rainbow Dash handed a letter to Twilight. "Derpy is busy, so I'm delivering for her." Rainbow Dash paused a bit before speaking again. 

"Twilight, can you help me Deliver some mail please? There are only seven letters left. I can take two, while you take the other five." Rainbow Dash wanted some help delivering the mail.

"But, why do you only get to deliv-" Twilight protested.

"Because I delivered three already. Now come on Twilight!"

Okay, these last ones are for Fluttershy and Applejack. thought Rainbow Dash. She raced of to Fluttershy's cottage and knocked at the door.

"Hello," Rainbow Dash called. "Fluttershy? I have the mail." Fluttershy stepped out and asked where Derpy was with the mail. "Oh, that. Derpy is busy, so I'm delivering mail for now. Bye Fluttershy!"

Who's next? thought Rainbow Dash who was jetting through clouds. Applejack...time to go to her barn! Rainbow Dash busted through the farm door and gave Applejack her mail.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash," called Applejack. "Where the hay is Derpy?"

"She's busy right now" Rainbow Dash called back. "Bye, Applejack!"

Back at Twilight's Library, Twilight was just coming home after delivering her five letters.

"Twilight? How did you get here so fast?!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "I am the fastest flier in Equestria, and you came before me? How is that even possible?!"

"I knew where they lived, and all of them lived in the same row, consecutively. So, I walked from house to house delivering mail." Twilight explained. She was lucky they all lived so closely together.

Rainbow Dash went to Derpy's house, and put the mail bag in front of Derpy's front door. Then Rainbow Dash did her fun tricks and stunts the rest of the day.
