I Will Catch You.........

Derpy woke up beside a sleeping pink pony. She squealed and the pony, better know as Pinkie Pie, started to move. She turned towards Derpy and smiled.

"Hey, Derpy! How'ya doin'?!" She asked, sounding as energetic as ever.

"Um, fine?" Pinkie giggled. "What? Don't laugh at me!" Pinkie stopped giggling.

"Oh, Derpy! I wasn't laughing AT you! Well, sort of, but not in a bad way!" She smiled. "Do you even remember what happened last night?"

Derpy shivered. "I, uh- only remember, jumping off a c-cliff, a-and you saving me." She started sobbing. "I just don't know what went wrong!" She said through her sobbing.

"It's ok, everypony makes mistakes!" Derpy looked into her baby blue eyes.

"But I tried to KILL MYSELF. That's a mistake I couldn't have fixed if you didn't catch me!" Pinkie stroked her mane. Derpy lowers her head back onto the pink mare's chest and started lightly sobbing again. "Pinkie, why did you catch me? Why were you there?" She asked. "Nobody likes me. I didn't think somebody would save me."

Pinkie lifted Derpy's chin up until she was looking at Pinkie. "Derpy, I care about you. I couldn't live without you, you're my favourite mailmare! For Celestia's sake! You're a hay of a good friend to hang out with!" She exclaimed.

Derpy looked down. "Thank you, Pinkie, i-it's really means a lot."

Pinkie smiled. "You're welcome! Now, what would you like for breakfast?" Derpy looked up.

"Muffin?" She said in the most adorable voice you might ever hear. Pinkie giggled.

"Of course, Derpy!" She bounced out of her bedroom. Derpy followed her out with a normal walking pace. "What kind?"

"Lemon Surprize!" Derpy said bouncing up and down.

Pinkie giggled. "Ok!" Pinkie took the muffin out of the glass showcase and hoofed it to Derpy.

"Thank you, Pinkie!"

"No problem-o!" She said.

Mmmm, muffins are the best thing in the world! She thought. She looked into Pinkie's cheerful blue eyes. They seemed to shine, like crystals.

Right? She finished her thought.

"Derpy, uh..." She couldn't tell if she was looking at her, something else, or Both. "Are you okay? Is there something on my face?" She went cross-eyed to see if there was. "I don't think there is!" Derpy mentally shook her head. Gaa! Derpy, snap out of it!

"Y-yeah! I'm okay!" She smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, okay, you just seemed a little dazed out there." As Derpy finished her muffin, an uncomfortable silence hushed over the room. "Uh, I'm gonna go get a muffin for myself!" Pinkie quickly said, to avoid awkward silence.

"O-ok." Derpy said. "What was that all about?" She mumbled quietly to herself.

"Hey, Derpy! I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today?" She asked, while getting her own cupcake.

Derpy's ears flattened. "You want to hang out with me?" She asked.

"Sure!" Pinkie answered.

"Well, okay, if you really want to." Derpy said.

"Of course I want to!" Pinkie said.

"Ok..." They walked out the door of Sugarcube Corner and into the busy streets of Ponyville. Pinkie hopped up and down as Derpy seemed to shrink behind her. She looked up at Pinkie. She had a broad smile on her face. Who knew a brave, carefree pony would hang out with an insecure pony like herself.

"Wanna go swimming?" Pinkie asked.

"Uh-" Derpy started.

"C'mon!" Pinkie said.

"Pinkie, I don't know how to swim." Derpy said.

"Really?" Pinkie asked.

"No..." Derpy said.

"I'll teach you!" Pinkie said.

"Really? Yay!!!" She said, as her wings fluttered her up into the air. "Thank you so much!" She said, as she grounded herself.

"No problem!" She said. "Let's go!"

Derpy giggled as she followed her new friend to the pond.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a morning of swimming and excitement, Derpy and Pinkie Pie were looking for a diner for lunch when a stallion spoke up.

"Hey look! It's Derpy!" The stallions voice changed when he spoke Derpy's name.

"Haha! Run into any poles lately?" Derpy looked down sadly.

"Try not to destroy town hall again, we actually need it, unlike you!" Derpy started sobbing.

"You guys don't know how much that hurts." Derpy sobbed.

"Really? I thought you'd be used to it by now!" Derpy collapsed on the ground and began crying. Pinkie couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Stop it." One of the stallions looked at her with a surprised look.

"What are you doing with this loser, Pinkie Pie?" He asked.

"Guys, she may look dumb on the outside, but inside, she's full of potential, and you need to see past her outside." Pinkie finished. She looked down a the ball named Derpy. It uncurled and Pinkie gave her a hoof up. Pinkie gave a warm smile to her, and Derpy soon returned one. She looked at the stallions with an unimpressed look. "Get out of here."

"Ok, geez, Pinkie." He said as he followed his friends.

Derpy leaped onto Pinkie in a huge hug. "Thank you!" She said. She looked up at Pinkie and met her beautiful baby blue eyes. Pinkie looked down at Derpy and met her amazing golden eyes. They stared at each other for at least 10 seconds. "Uh..." Derpy mumbled. They both blushed and looked away.

"Do you want me to walk you home? Dinky is probably wondering where you are." Pinkie asked. Derpy's eyes widened.

"Dinky!!" Derpy cried as she ran towards her house.

"I'll take that as a no?" Pinkie yelled out in Derpy's general direction.
