Jet Set, like a lot of the Canterlot Elite, loves to organise what they call, a dinner game. Each guest bring in an idiot (in their view), let them talk and ridicule themselves and give a prize to the one who brings in the biggest idiot of the bunch. Jet Set seems to have found the perfect idiot, a young mailmare from Ponyville named Derpy Hooves with an obcession with muffins (enough to build models out of it). What he doesn't know, is that as good intentioned and nice Derpy can be, she's absurdly good at causing trouble.

Note from the author:

This is the very first fanfic I ever wrote. And at the time, I wasn't sure how to start. I've decided to start with something small that I knew I could manage. So this is an adaptation of my favorite stage play, The Dinner Game ("Le dîner de cons" in the original French). This play got two movies adaptation: A french movie released in 1997 (featuring the late comedy genius Jacques Villeret) and an Hollywood adaptation released in 2010 called Dinner for Schmucks (which was godawful in my opinion).

I really do enjoy crossover fanfics (these are actually my favorite kind of fanfics), but I wasn't sure if I was good enough. So I thought "Baby steps" and decided to to a straight up adaptation with a few twists (hopefully, it won't feel like reading the play again). I decided to use Jet Set as the rich snob since I thought he was a greatly underused character in fanfictions (not ot mention that I think he does bear a small resemblance to Thierry Lhermitte) and who better for the role of an accident prone nice person than our favorite fish-eyed mailmare.

This is my very first fanfic (as I said earlier) so I gladly welcome any feedback (I'm bad at coming up with names, especially pony names (so mundane it's hard to come up with something good or memorable)). English is my second language, so don't be afraid to go grammar nazi on me.

Hope you enjoy.
