Derpy Hooves

It was the oddest looking, lopsided thing I had ever seen! A gray mare with a dingy yellow mane and a mail sack slung over her back had just flown in my window. The oddest part of it all was her unfocused eyes, one drifting somewhere to my right, and the other staring right at me!

"Oops! I just don't know what went wrong!" The mare said, still getting her bearings straight.

I laid my head back onto the hard mattress, waiting for the mare to scream and fly back out the window when she realized "what" she was talking to.

"Hi there!", She said.

"...Your not going to run?" I asked drolly. Maybe this thing was blind.

"Well, why would I do that? I've gotta give you your package first don't I?"

I sighed, trying to make sure this mare new I was frustrated with her. But to no avail, as the pony was now searching through her saddle bag.

"There yuh go!" The mare said, handing me a paper brown package that looked as if she had dropped it in a pond.

The shield must only work on the inside. I took the package and the mare flew back out the window, completely oblivious to what had just happened.

Giving out another deep sigh, I opened the box, ripping the tape with my fangs. The smell of love instantly filled up my nostrils. In the package lay a picture of a mare and colt, snuggling under a full moon. I picked out a dried rose and a note, mailed over a month ago. I took a moment to sink it all in, letting the very essence of love fill my veins. And, just for interest, I read the letter.

My dear dearest rosebud:

How are things in ponyville? I can't wait for the big wedding of princess Cadence and Shining Armor!

The princess PERSONALLY invited me. Can you believe it! But myself, and the rest of canterlot,

are real worried about the Shining's health. Making a shield to protect the entire city can't be easy,

but I'm sure it's fine! I just wanted you to know I care...And I love you my rose.

~Caramel.

What garbage! But it WAS useful garbage, I could feel the strength returning to me and my scars healing. And I could hear hoof steps! As quickly as a changeling can, I shoved the letter into the box and under my bed just in time to see the alicorn walk in.

"You could knock." I chided.

The mare didn't look amused.

Her horn lit up and I the "force field" faded, as if taken by the wind.

"Get up," She said, "Put this on."

In her hooves, she held out what looked to be a collar. I hissed hissed at her, but reluctantly placed the thing over my head. She pulled her end and left the room with her like a pouting foal.

The mare led me down hallways, glancing left and right nervously before doing so. Finally, we stopped in front of a door with a blue pony painted on the from of it.

"Go."

So I walked in, the mare leaving me to do my "business."

I grazed the room for any means of escape. Not a window, not a single thing! This place really needs to be redecorated! What was this place? I hadn't actually asked that question. After I was "finished", I left the room, allowing the mare to once again place a collar over my head.

"So, I take it you will sneak me back now?" I asked.

The mare froze, not turning around.

"We don't know what you are speaking of." She said, now continuing to walk on.

"Well," I said, that evil smile forming on my face once more, "You are an alicorn, witch means you could easily have used any guard or pony to watch me, but instead you do so yourself! And I'm pretty sure I'm in a castle right now so why are we sneaking around?"

The alicorn gave out a long, heavy, sigh.

"You are to remain silent! I doth not enjoy your idle talk."

This time she turned to face me when she spoke, and I could see the worry on her face. She knew she had been caught. Good.

"So that guard over there is okay with this, right?"

"WHERE!" The alicorn swiftly turned on her hooves, almost knocking me over.

I smiled when she turned back to glare at me with what looked to be a tinge of embarrassment in her sea blue eyes. I couldn't seem to tare myself from looking away from them. It was as if they neither hated me nor cared.

"Okay, you are right, but I doth not need to explain thyself to a changeling!"

"Understandable." I said, my smile growing all the wider.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wasn't sure what time it was, since the window wasn't open any longer. And yet, I still had the feeling I would get a visitor!
And sure enough, a wall-eyed mare burst into my room

"Hiah! Sorry I'm late!"

"And who might YOU be?" I asked, my plan moving into action.

"Oh, I'm Derpy Hooves!"

What an odd name.

"And I got you a letter here.!"

Yes! This was it! Derpy hooves held out the letter until it was mere inches from my face! I swiftly grabbed her hoof and pulled myself out of the prison, then, placing my front hooves on the far wall, kicked the mare onto my former bad.

"I said I was sorry 'm late mister! You don't see me going around kick'n ponies in the flank!"

Derpy spread her wings, flew to the air, and slammed against the invisible wall with a *thunk!*
I immediately burst in to laughter as she repeated this process several times until wobbling around for a few moments, and falling flat on her face!

The door swung open and knocked me right in the muzzle, grounding my laughter to a halt.

The dizzy mail mare glanced up at her,

"oh, hiah princess! what are you doing here?"

"Really? Derpy hooves? we would have thought a better disguise from you changeling!"

I had to tighten every muscle in my body to keep from laughing!

"disca-what princess?"

"hah! even I could do better!'

I forced a hoof in my mouth! The beauty of it all was almost unbearable!

The alicorn's horn lit up and I knew my fun would have to end. Placing my fore-hooves onto the wall once more, I kicked the mare into the prison with Derpy.
