Derpy's little Dinky.

Derpy's little Dinky.

By Storiesatrandom

One day, Derpy came home to her little cottage in the woods, holding muffins from the celebration at the mail office. Derpy was happy, she always looked forward to return to her little Dinky Hooves, her adopted Unicorn filly, a young mare she had for some time. Derpy couldn’t remember when she gotten her, but didn't care, as long as Dinky was hers. Derpy opened her door and shouted with glee, “MUFFINS, DINKY!”

Dinky came up, happy to see her mother again, “Mommy!” Dinky cuddled Derpy, and Derpy hugged back. “Mommy, you're the greatest pony ever!” Derpy smiled and stared at her daughter with crossed eyes. Despite the odd appearance of her eyes, it was a loving gaze.

“Come on Dinky, let's have some Muffins.”

One Hour Later…

Derpy lay next to Dinky, the two were filled with delicious muffins to their content, and were snuggling with each other. “Dinky, I think it's time for you to go to bed.”

"But, I'm not,” Dinky yawned, “Tired.”

“The fact you're yawning says otherwise, my little Dinky Hooves.”

Derpy picked up Dinky and flew upstairs. “It’s bedtime, and it's already late.” Dinky was about to protest, but it was swiftly ruined by a yawn. Derpy entered Dinky's bedroom and placed Dinky in her bed. She tucked the blanket over her daughter, and Dinky grabbed her favorite Teddy Ursa. Derpy was struck by how cute Dinky was in bed with her Teddy Ursa, tucked in her Wonderbolt themed bed set, soundly asleep.
Though the Wonderbolts are traditionally favorites of Pegasus, they had also earned the love of Unicorn and Earth ponies as well, and Derpy's little Dinky was no exception. Dinky loved Spitfire most of all because “Spitfire is the most awesome Wonderbolt!”, as she claimed. Derpy was happy, despite her eye issue she was able to fully provide for little Dinky. She leaned over, and give Dinky a kiss on the forehead.
“Goodnight, my little angel,” Dinky fell fast asleep.

Derpy smiled, touched by Dinky's innocence. She walked out and went towards her own bedroom to turn in for the night. She saw her bed, her smile fell from her face, It was a bed made for two, a lover's bed. Derpy had no one to love for herself, and she worried even if she admitted her crush towards Carrot Top, Carrot Top wouldn’t be into other mares. Carrot Top was smart, fun, wise, and pretty, and had a fridge well stocked with food, which Derpy always loved to visit. Derpy was tired of being a single mom. She knew she alone can't raise a child.
She’s always nervous about Dinky being left alone in the cottage while she goes to work. She would cringe in fear of whatever creatures may have their way with Dinky. She even worries about bandits or burglars. She retained a cool head, Dinky will always be fine, no matter what silly thoughts come to her head. She climbed into bed, covered herself in her blanket, and began to sleep.

Off in Derpy's dreams…

Dinky was playing with her favorite Spitfire action figure. Suddenly, the door burst open. It revealed a hulking Unicorn Stallion wearing a ski mask. This was clearly a criminal! Dinky screamed and ran away from him. The Unicorn crook used his magic to capture her. “I only came here to steal something, but I don't suppose I do a little… De-flowering.” Dinky screamed and struggled against his magical grip.

Derpy sat up fast. She arose and exited her bedroom to check on Dinky. There was Dinky, still asleep in dreamland. Derpy sighed, but she was more afraid than ever about leaving her child alone. This was the breaking point, she had to find Carrot Top and confess her love for her in the morning. She hoped Dinky would still be alright upon her return.

Morning.

At Carrot's house, Carrot Top was preparing her weekly harvest for the upcoming farmer's market. Though her carrots were often second place with Applejack's apples, Carrot Top was more contented with sharing her masterpiece carrots at the market.

Despite that Applejack always got the best score, she and Carrot Top are great friends, though they share a healthy rivalry when it comes to the market. Carrot wasn't the one to care about winning, she just wishes that she earns the best agriculture award, but the market works differently, the awards focus on both fruits and vegetables as best eatables.

Really, Eatables? Is that even a word, Eatables? Carrot Top parishes the thought, and though her concern is more centered on her carrots she concludes consumables was more appropriate. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. “HEY, HEY, CARROT!” Carrot Top sighed, knowing who it was.

“What is it this time, Derpy? If it's about my fridge, yes, I did Derp-proof it this time, and NO, I am not going to open it so you can get at my Carrot Muffins, they are for visiting family from Manehatten.”

“Uh, actually, I wanted ask you something.” Carrot Top was caught off guard that it wasn’t going to be another, ‘Derpy eats out of my fridge fiasco.’ She sighed with relief. “Oh, I'm glad it's not about muffins again. Well, what are you here for then, sweetie?”
Derpy was anxious, she was shaking her hooves, she felt uneasy, and was randomly swallowing air. “Can, can, can I, uh, I, I, I, I,” Derpy gave a nervous, loud, gulp, “can I take you somewhere to eat, at a restaurant. Please?”

“Huh?”

“Duh, what I am saying is….. Would you, go on a,” Derpy bit at her lip, “Go on a…. Date with me?”

Carrot Top gasped. She should have seen it coming, Derpy was scared of asking her out. Derpy Hooves, sometimes known as Ditzy Doo, was a filly-fooler. Filly-foolers are tolerated, yes, but, they tend to be surprising. Carrot cares for Derpy as a friend, but, that's it. She prefers the company of stallions.
Carrot Top sighed, “Derpy, I'm, flattered you mustered the courage to face me like this, seeing that, you were fearing for a bad reaction. While I have no bad feelings towards, uh, mare on mare ideals, it's just, I don't also follow them. I respect and acknowledged its existence, but I don't follow it enough that, I just, prefer colts and stallions more. What I'm trying to say, Derpy, is, that, I'm not a filly-fooler. I'm straight.”

Derpy was teary-eyed. She was relieved that Carrot Top wasn’t anti-lesbian, but felt hurt that Carrot was not one. Carrot Top noticed this, and suddenly realized that she didn't intended to hurt Derpy's feelings. “Derpy, I just want to know what got you to finally admit your stronger feelings for me?”

Derpy began to sob, “Because, I'm a single mom taking care of a little Unicorn, who I have to continuously have to leave so I may work at the post office. I don't come home until sunset and spend very little time with my Dinky!” Derpy sobbed louder, “and, and, I just wanted to keep her safe by finding another parent for her, which I thought could be you! You were the one pony that understands me, that doesn't consider me a clumsy joke!” Derpy turned her head down, sniffling.

“Derpy, everyone loves you, yes, we would like to go without your occasional ‘mishaps,’ but you're a loved pony! Maybe someone can foal-sit her while you’re at work.”

“You're just saying that to make me feel better! I just want to be alone!” Derpy flew away in tears, Carrot Top felt ashamed of herself. Carrot Top loved Derpy, and she had the nerve to dump Derpy just because she, herself, was not a filly-fooler.

Derpy was flying though Ponyville, crying, and had not escaped the notice of the residents, especially not Rainbow Dash, who just seen Derpy flying by. Rainbow went towards Derpy, “hey, Derpy, what's wrong?”

“JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! I WANT TO BE ALONE WITH MY HEART BREAK!” She flew off, crying harder. Rainbow Dash was caught off guard, Derpy was in love? Rainbow's curiosity possessed her to want to investigate.

Despite Derpy's known idiocy, she was loved. Though Rainbow Dash didn't think anyone would actually like Derpy. Rainbow Dash admitted she wasn’t knowledgeable as Twilight, who was studying the magic of friendship, this was definitely a problem Twilight should be able to solve.

“Derpy, you have your quirks, but we all have quirks, you shouldn’t be sad,” said the rainbow colored Pegasus aloud. Rainbow Flew off towards Twilight's Library.

Derpy was still crying, she gained the attention of a mysterious Unicorn Female dressed in a business suit, almost like a Canterlot official. She was a red mare with a blue mane and tail, and a cutie-mark that looks like a grown-up hoof holding a foal's hoof. She also wore glasses, and her chest seemed to bare some form of enforcement badge. There was almost an ominous feeling around this mare. An Earth pony stallion was next to her, suit, green pelt, a similar cutie mark, and had an orange mane and tail. Best of all the accompanying mare had a magnificent beard.

“You think that's Ditsy "Derpy Hooves,” Doo, Agent 34?’ The stallion asked.

“Positive, Agent 17. We should follow her to where she resides and proceed with our assignment.” Agent 17, the stallion, nodded. The two left to follow Derpy, carefully slinking in the shadows to avoid Derpy's attention.

Derpy returned home because she didn't need to work. It was Celestia's birthday, and as custom, the post office was allowed to close for the week after the party. It is a strange, lovely tradition. She looked forward to having Dinky to cheer her up once again. She opened the door, and entered. Dinky was quick to appear and cuddle her adoptive mother. “Oh, mommy! I had an idea, can we go to the park today?”
Derpy smiled, “Ok, Dinky, we can. Get your favorite toy and I'll ready a picnic.”

“YAY!” Dinky ran off to find her favorite toy, her beloved Spitfire action figure. Derpy went to the kitchen and began to pack some muffins, and yes, some Sweet Apple Acres cider. She believed a picnic was all she needed when Carrot Top rejected her proposal. She understood well Carrot Top was not a filly-fooler, but it broke her heart just the same. She knew nopony intelligent or kind as Carrot Top, and there would be no-one else for her. Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. “One minute!” Derpy flew towards the door and opened it to see an Earth pony stallion and a unicorn mare standing. “Uh, could I help you?”

“Ma'am, are you Ditsy ‘Derpy Hooves’ Doo?’ The stallion asked.

“Call me Derpy…”

“Ma'am, we're with foal services. We here to take away a Miss Dinky Hooves Doo.” The mare started to push her way through the door.

“WHAT? NO! WHY?” Derpy blocked the door.

“You have been confirmed by a classified eye witness that you are mentally unfit to care for a child, and have been confirmed as mentally impaired. There are rules that prevent foals to fall under the care of those who are disabled,” the stallion stated.

“NO! YOU WON'T HAVE DINKY!” Derpy slammed the door violently.

The stallion bucked the door open, breaking it in the process. The mare cast a bubble spell on Derpy, preventing any continuing intervention. Dinky suddenly came in, and saw what was happening. Dinky blinked in horror dropping the toy, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY MOMMY!” The mare used her magic to levitate Dinky over to her.

“She's not your mother anymore, young lady. We're here to place you under proper care of a more suited pony.”

“NO! LET ME GO!” Dinky struggled against the mare’s magic, all in vain.

"Take us back to base, 34." The mare casted another spell, and she disappeared along with the stallion and Dinky. The good news was that Derpy was no longer in her bubble prison. Bad news: they took Dinky. She began to cry. Her scream of anguish echoed throughout Ponyville.
