Derpy In The Tree

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Derpy's P.O.V.

I'm in this tree. On a mountain. How did I even get here in the first place? Whatever. You don't solve problems by moping over them. I could jump out right now if I wanted to... Nah, I'll stay up here for a while. It'll be funny.

Hey, check it out! Is that a train? It's carrying something. It's a statue of that ugly thing that made Equestria all kooky and strange a few months ago. "Hello!" I say to the train. But it doesn't say hello back. How rude! Oh, wait, trains don't talk. I watch it puff away. I'd like to be a train. It must be fun, just chuffing round all day. But then I wouldn't be able to dwell in trees. I guess I'm sort of like that yellow pegasus who lives in that cottage. She'd like to be a tree. What's her name? Fluffershy? Flutterby? Futtersye? Marcene?

Anyway, I just noticed something. There's a muffin growing in this tree. How's that even possible? Oh, well, this is no time to be quibbling over logic. There's a free muffin, for pony's sake! I pick it and take a bite. It's quite good. Is this just a dream? I don't care. A muffin is a muffin. Hmm... still hungry. Hey, what about some tree bark? I tear some from the tree and chew on it. Whoa. This is actually quite good. Not nearly as good as muffins, but this still hits the spot.

Hey, I just had an idea! I'll go home, pack my things, and live in this tree for a few days. But how will I know the way? I don't even remember how I got here. Oh, well. I'll hitch a ride on the next train that comes by.
