Derpy Hooves is an often misunderstood member of Ponyville. No one understands her, and she is often ridiculed for being stupid and "Derpy" despite being rather intelligent. This story calls her Ditzy rather than Derpy, though we are unsure of her real name. It's a story of her struggles in living a life of shame and mockery.

UPDATED!!! I did some major revisions to where this story is going, and plan on making it into an ongoing series. :) The characters listed are ones I am loosely planning on incorporating into it, but will refine this list as the story progresses. I'm planning at least 6-8 chapters of this before the story I am telling is finished, but it may very well cary on beyond that if I have a fan base that wants me to continue. I will try to publish them weekly. Thanks you all for the kind reviews you have given me so far.

Also, this is still being edited, and I am actually looking actively for editor or two to further refine my writing. I know I am a good wordsmith, but I am not perfect by any stretch. And just like everyone else, I have a hard time catching all of my own mistakes. Please contact me if you are interested in editing for me.

Oh, dear; I hope that she does find some measure of happiness at the end.

Noooooo not ditzy! Please don't kill her!

I do hope she'll find happiness. And that damn Dash will get SERIOUS talk about her behavior. I really don't like Dash, she's so uncaring bitch.

I would like to comment on this letting you all know that it's indeed a shorter chapter than I would have liked to publish, but I chose the ending of the chapter for it's location, not for the length, as I WANTED to end in another cliffhanger. ;) Don't worry, from now on it shouldn't have any more cliffhangers. hehe.

Wow, I'm interested to see where this story goes! Poor Ditzy, I hope she is okay! One small note, after the part that goes "the meadow where Fluttershy had her home" you switch from the past tense to the present tense for a few lines, which is a bit jarring. But other than that, quite good! I hope you post more soon!

Fixed! lol. I have a bad habit of switching to present tense when I am describing something. :P I am working on it.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo (good story though) oooooooooooooo Favourite char :( :derpyderp2:

Oh, great. Either she's dead :fluttershbad::fluttershbad::applecry::fluttershbad::fluttercry::raritycry: or she's going to be the poster child for physio- and psychotherapy because she lives in a town without pity.:twilightangry2::twilightangry2:

♫♥I look forward to reading what happens next in your story♥♪

Okay, so she's alive and willing to stay that way. That's the easy bit; the hard part is dealing with her idiot relatives and loutish acquaintances. Good thing for her that she's got the Mane Six in her corner, eh?:pinkiehappy:

And I will deal with many of those in the coming chapters. This story is far from over. But at least you all don't hate me for (presumably) killing off Derpy. :twilightsheepish:

I knew somehow Ditzy wouldn't die that easily, but that was really a heart string puller for me. Hope the next chapter comes soon!

Yay! She's alive! I will follow this story to the end!

Well, if the launching of a ship is what it takes to make her life better, anchors a-weigh!!!:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::heart::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

Hahaha, indeed. This was nowhere near the path I had planned for the story, but it's taken on a life of it's own and there's nothing I could do about it. Seriously! :derpytongue2:

:derpytongue2: :heart: :rainbowderp:

Hmm, a shipping with Ditzy in it... the only one I've ever read of a shipping with her is a DitzyxTrixie shipping. But a DashxDitzy? Now that sounds interesting.

Wonderful work! Can't wait to see more!:twilightsmile:

Very nice story. I for one would love to see it continued a bit farther, if only to explore Dash and Dee's relationship more, and maybe have Dee get to meet and befriend the other three members of the main cast. <^^>

Hay Travis.
I agree with Lloxie, Dee should meet and be friends with the others.
Maybe to the point where ponies in the town respect her?

Oh, and I like your A/N, it's so true...
But those people who care about me(other than family) are very far away...
I miss them, and I know they miss me.
And I know that we will see each other again.
It just takes time...

well...I think I will be further pursuing this story. I feel there is more to tell, but haven't fully developed the next portion in my mind yet (making it very hard to write). I will be putting this on the side burner for a while, up-dating when I CAN, but probably not as regularly as I am now. :) I have 2 other series that I REALLY want to get writing on!!! I'm excited to bring them to you all! :pinkiehappy:

This was cute, and I would like to see more of how this develops. How do the other ponies in town react? Does this really become a romance, or are they happy being friends? I have to say, Ditzy is one of my favorite characters since she seems so ripe for interpretation, and I almost hope they don't really develop her personality in the show much so it leaves her open for that. I love giving her sympathetic treatment in my own stories like you've done here.

There are some grammar/spelling issues. I don't offer to pre-read for many people, but you've got the right combo I look for: interesting plot, chapters short enough that they don't take long to read, updates not too often, and not so full of mistakes that I'd basically be rewriting it. If you're looking for edit help, think about it. You can check out my watch list and stories to see if you think we'd be on the same wavelength.

I used to hate Dee and thought she was stupid but when I read this it taught me a important lesson... Don't judge a book by its cover! Now I love Dee she is one of my Fav charactors Thank Ninjeneer for showing me and others who the real Dee is!

Wow...
I remember you talking about this story s lot, but I didnt have the time to read it until now.....
It's cute!

I'd really like to see how Dee interacts with the rest of the mane cast, and how her and Dash's relationship goes.

I have more planned!!! I will likely have a new chapter out for this soon.

Also. DERPY IS NOW CANON NAME!!!! :D Though for continuity, I will still be calling her Dee, and playing off of that angle.

Derpy is best pony, and opus is best story :derpytongue2:
