A little Hope for the Derp Eyed pony herself, Derpy Hooves, to inspire everypony.

The Mysterious Letter

One sunny, peaceful day, everypony’s was playing outside, laughing, smiling. Nothing seemed out of place in Ponyville. Most of the Pegasi were doing their jobs, keeping the sky cleared or delivering letters. Young fillies ran around chasing each other in a playing game of tag. Over in Sweet Apples' Arches, Big MacIntosh, a red-coated Earth pony stallion with a dark yellow mane and tail, was heading over to a new friend’s on-ground home. He trotted freely on the dirt roads of Ponyville, enjoying the beautiful weather. After a while, he saw a young mare Pegasus zoom by rather uncontrollably into his friend’s home. Increasing his speed, he gallops into the house, shocked at what he sees.

"Fuyona!? Are you okay? Oh my, why if it isn't Ms. Derpy Hooves?" Mac said still in shock. Fuyona, a Lavender-coated Pegasus with a dark mane and tail and the Eighth-Note in the color of Magenta, was highlighted in her mane, laid on the floor, underneath the mare who had crashed. Mac trotted over to the mares, helping them off of each other. The crashed mare Pegasus, Derpy Hooves, shook her head before smiling at Mac and Fuyona happily as if nothing had happened. Derpy hugs the two, handing Fuyona a letter right before speaking.

"Are you okay, Fuyona? I'm sorry I had crashed into your home. I'll send a Unicorn to come fix it!" Derpy said then jetted off out the new, unwanted hole in Fuyona's home. With a sigh, Fuyona brushed herself off then looks at the letter. She says hello to Mac then opens the letter. She was shocked to see what it had said and there was no sender name.
"What's the matter, Fuyona? Angel got your tongue? What's it say?" Mac joked a bit.
"It isn't from anypony. I dunno who this is from." Fuyona replied. "Still want me to read it?" She asked Mac, who only replied by nodding.
"Eeyup." He said looking at her patiently. Fuyona looks back at the letter, closing her wings as she cleared her throat.

"Dear Fuyona,
I hope you are doing well. How are your Alicorn studies? By the looks of it, you are Princess Luna’s Student? Doesn’t look like you are doing well but keep trying. And you are probably wondering who I am. I prefer not to tell you at this current moment... You see, I am not who you think. Haha, If you are reading this out loud to somepony, I am glad you are! As you know more than anypony, you aren't doing well when other ponies bully you, huh? Stay strong, Fuyona. You have at least one friend who truly cares for you. I know I sure do. Maybe the pony at your side is the pony who truly cares about you! I hope so. Also, I overheard Rainbow Dash talking about you. She said that she wants to challenge you to a flight race in the WonderBolts training course! You've always wanted to fly there, right? So, why don't you find her and talk to her. I'm sure you two will be amazing friends!

Oops! I don't have time to write anything else. I hope you write back!"

"That's all it says, Mac.. Who is this pony? How do they know me so well?"
"Ah'm not sure, Fuyona, but try writing back."

"What's the use...? The pony didn't write their name."
"True there, Partner. But it was given to you by Derpy. That pony knows who to give it too."

"Is that true, Mac? Just seems a bit weird to me.."
"Ah'm sure. Just try it now, ya hear?"

"I hear, Mac." She grabs a bottle of ink, a feather pen and letter paper, sitting at her desk as Mac follows, standing next to her. She sighs, tapping the ground with her right fore hoof. It was odd to her. She had never written a letter before. Especially a reply letter to something like this. But she has to know who it is from. What pony knows her better then herself?

"Um... Mac..? I dunno what to say... I've never written a letter. I only receive them for my job."
"Try to question the letter, ah' reckon. Ah start like that and it surely gets me to written'."

"I'll try that.. You'll stay to help me, Mac?"
"Of course, Fuyona." Mac said to her with a smile as Fuyona smiles back. She looks back at the letter, and hums a bit. Suddenly, she has the urge to write. She writes:

"To the pony who wrote me the letter,
Excuse me if this is not a well-written letter. I honestly never written back to anypony. But, yes, I have been going through some things with most ponies and bullying.. I must be a natural born bully target. Everypony I go past makes fun of me... I dunno what I even did to anypony. Is it because of my speed? Did I do something for somepony to start a rumor about me? I feel sad and cry when I get home... I just dunno if I'm worth it anymore. I do have a wonderful friend. He's a stallion, named Big MacIntosh. He's so nice to me. His sisters are nice to me as well.

Did you say Rainbow Dash wants to race with me!? I love watching her perform with the WonderBolts! Maybe I'll try to find her. I wonder where she could be? I hope we can be friends. I hope she won't mind.

From, Fuyona."

"How's this, Mac?" She finishes the reply letter, handing it to Mac. He reads it and smiles.
"Not bad for somepony who has never written a letter before."

"You really think so? Is it good for the first attempt, Mac?" She said to Mac, blushing ever so lightly as Mac nodded.
"Sur'is, Fuyona. Why don't you give it to Derpy the next time you see her. Ah'm sure that'll be easy to do. Haha."
Before Fuyona can reply to what Mac had said, somepony knocks on her door. Fuyona goes to the door as Mac followed, opening it to find Derpy with two construction Unicorn stallions. Derpy points to the hole she made as they made their way into Fuyona's house. Mac watches the Unicorn stallions as Fuyona gives Derpy the reply letter. Derpy smiles, flapping her wings as she hugs Fuyona. After the hug, Derpy takes the reply letter and flies off somewhere.

"She sure is one odd pony. Can't blame 'er. I'm the same..." Looking back to Mac and the Unicorn stallions, she shuts her door, trotting to Mac. They talked as they do their job, Mac eyeing the Unicorns if they looked at Fuyona in some odd way. Once the Unicorn stallions finished, Fuyona went to them to thank them. The brown-coated Unicorn bows his head.
"No need for any pay, Lil'lady. Being here was all the pay we needed. You are our first customer in a few weeks."
"Oh? Are you sure? My money is a bit low but I kinda like my job. I'll pay."
"Don't worry your wings off, Cutie." Mac growls in envy as the Unicorn called Fuyona "Cutie", not wanting her in anypony else hooves. Fuyona thanked the Unicorns as they left then turned her attention back to Mac after shutting her door.
There was an awkward silence for a few minutes. Mac finally broke the silences with a sigh.
"Eenope."
"Nope...? No what, Mac?" Fuyona cocked her head to the right in confusion.
"Ah'saw the look in yer eyes. Don't be going for them.. Ah' don't want you too. It'll make me... Well... Envious."

E-envious? M-Mac... Do you... Like-like me? Both of us. Together~! Hehehe! Oh, Lemme find out first... She thought as her wings open a bit, blushing ever so lightly.
"H'm?" Mac looks at the mares reaction in her wings. "Ah've never really felt like this towards a mare before. Somethin' about you that Ah enjoy.”

Huh? He never felt what way towards a mare before? Does this mean he was a coltcuddler? Oh! So cute. I wonder who's the lucky colt? She thought again, grinning at the stallion.
