Previous Chapter

Me and Derpy decided to get back together the next day to discuss what exactly happened to her. Through all the things that had happened that day, she's doing pretty well for somepony who has never crossed dimensions before. Most ponies would continuously ask question after question but Derpy seems to be able to work more effectively when muffins are around. Ill have to keep that in mind. In the time being, I may as well get some sleep.

....

The next day when I woke up, I found one of my old satchels next to me on the cloud. " How did this get here." Ideas started running through my mind when the obvious occurred to me. " I'll just see if Rarity has some sort of spell that can track its path. Now, time to got find Rarity.

The air seemed strange today. Under all my feathers there was a strange cooling feeling that sent a shiver down my spine. Something was off but I just couldn't figure it out. I guess it's just something that'll show itself to me later.

I arrived at the boutique but to my avail found that no pony was there. Come to think of it, I didn't see anypony at all. This can only mean a few things. Everypony left sometime during the night for some reason that i'm not aware of or... i'm in a dream.

It was at that moment when I heard a small thumping sound go across the ceiling. I could hear it go from left to right and back to it's original spot. " Um, is there anyone home?" I yelled out.

I instantly was responded to by a very familiar voice. " Just on minute." It was almost sung out. The thumping in the ceiling soon returned but quickly moved to the stairs that led down to the base floor. " What can I do for you?" Her voice was angelic as always.

Quick relief flooded over me as I realized  that I was not stuck in some strange dream "By any chance, do you know some spell that might be able to track whoever brought me my satchel. I thought it was gone but apparently somepony found it.

" Oh sorry dear, I don't know any spell that can do that but your next best bet would be with Twilight. She lives in the library. And, did you look inside the bag, there might be some clue about what it was in there." A twisted look of sorrow crossed her face as she was talking.

I never even thought to see if there was some note in the bag. " I can't believe I didn't think to do that." In the bag I found two things. A note and a small heart shaped box. The box was full of fine chocolates that looked very expensive. The note was rather short but it was on a small piece of paper.

This is to the stallion I love.

I didn't notice you when you first came to town but when you had that race with Rainbow Dash. I have been observing you for reasons that I was never sure until then and I hope that you have noticed me. From the small amount of time I have had with you, I have come to reason that you are the one. I know I will be seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Your perfect pony

"Oh, she's been watching you. Seems like you have a stocker."  The way Rarity said that made me feel really weird to the stomach.

"Well then, I feel bad now." Rarity gave me a strange begging look that seemed off for her.

" Why do you say that?"

"Because, I haven't noticed anypony in a way past a strong friendship here in ponyville. Hell, I don't even know what love feels like. I've spent my life on a boat full of other guys."

" Oh, wow"

"Ya"

" How do you plan on fixing that?"

" I don't, I trust it will fix itself after a while." I took a little time to think about the things that might go on then to what was at hand, " Im going to go take a look at the library and see if Twilight knows anything about a tracking spell.

....

I was at the door to the library when realization hit me. Spike also lives here. Finally, in this female dominated world, I can talk to a guy. At that very moment the door swung open and I was grabbed by some purple force field that took me inside the tree. " Oh, magic"

" Yes," I suddenly found myself in one of the lower rooms of the tree. Probably a basement. " Listen Chasing, I have been wondering if I could run a few tests on you." Twilight had come into view and looked as if she had gone crazy. Most likely wondering about my wings. " Your wings have miss proved every thing I knew about pegasi anatomy. Yep " All I need you to do is put you hoofs on those two little slots on that machine over there and i'll do the rest." Twilight was pointing over to a machine that stood about as half as tall as me and looked quite intimidating.

" Would it be better just to tell you why my wings are so big?" Chasing gave her a deadpan look. " Besides, i'm not planning on staying here long, I would like you to help me find out who ever brought me my satchel."

"YES, tell me why your wings are so big and I will do a spell that will show you to it's last few locations." Twilights eyes were now twitching with anticipation that gave her her own unique crazy look.

" It's a genetic mutation. Over all the years of my family roaming the seas, our wings have been getting larger to we can fly into harsher weather easily. Probably a dominant trait that nature has gifted us with to cope with her. Now about that spell?"

"Oh, yes. Just give me a minute and I will be able to tell you it's last few locations." Twilight with all her abilities in magic had a hard time even with this spell. After having a lack of sleep and an inability to concentrate had left her struggling to pull off a simple spell such as so. " Sorry Chasing, I can't do it. I don't have enough magic left in me to pull it off."

"No problem. I have to go meet Derpy any way. I'm helping her cope with a few issues that are more personal than she thinks."

"Like what?"

" Nothing that you need to worry about" I will admit, I did sound a little angry at her since she was being slightly nosy about Derpy's personal life but then again, I probably shouldn't have said anything about them in the first place. " Im going to meet her a sugar cube corner in about an hour." That was a lie, it was more like fifteen minutes. " I had better be going. There are other things that I need to attend to." Another lie. " I must be going" With that I quickly ran out the door and too to the air in pursuit of sugar cube corner.

Once I had found myself at sugar cube corner I had ordered another box of muffins for Derpy and was happy to find that Pinkie wasn't at the front counter. When I started to look for a good place to sit I was fortunate enough to find the Derpy was already here and gave her the box of muffins. She instantly let out a silent squeal and opened up the box of assorted muffins. " Hello Derpy, how has you day been."

" It was terrible," she held up one of her wings and showed that it was wrapped in bandages. " I hurt myself while I was out looking around for things."

"What were you looking for?"

"Nothing specific. Just anything that might fit the description."

"Description of what?" I was giving her a questioning glare when she started to look at the lower part of my body. I couldn't tell exactly where she was looking because of her eyes but i'm sure it had to do with my satchel. My question was answered when she pointed a hoof at it. " So you were the one who brought it to me. I couldn't be more thankful Derpy."

A small blush appeared over her face and she slowly started to look down almost like she was disappointed.I wasn't sure of what she was blushing about but my brain started clicking when I got it. " You hid the letter in there didn't you?"
