Chapter 1: Arguing With Love

To Love Derpy

Chapter 1: Arguing With Love

I never really thought much about love. It just, didn’t seem like something that I would have, or even need to get involved in. Being the lead cello player in the Canterlot Orchestra seem to take most of my time, living in Ponyville I had to take regular train rides to get the recitals and practises. The only time I had I would practise at home and spend time with my friends. There was of course Vinyl Scratch, my current best friend and roommate of the past 4 years. Not to mention Lyra, Bon-Bon, Berry Punch, Derpy Hooves..... Derpy....

For the past 5 or so years I have been good friends with one Derpy Hooves, a pony known through Ponyville for her clumsy, ditzy behaviour. A pony with a cloudy grey coat and a golden mane and yellow crossed eyes. But those that knew her like me, would see that behind that wall eyed look was a kind, sweet, gentle, beautiful... oh! I mean an all around great mare...

I met her when I first moved to Ponyville, she delivered Twilight Sparkle’s mail to my door, which made no sense, her house was right in the middle of Ponyville, and I live on the edge. Anyway I wasn’t happy with her but I let it slide. Over the next few weeks I started to see her a lot around Ponyville and found myself and her to talk often and eventually she became one of my closest friends. She even introduced me to my dearest friend Vinyl at her birthday party, in a competition bid to see whose music was better, I still think I won, don’t trust whatever Vinyl tells you.

Ok for a while now, well more like the past few months Derpy and I have bonded closer, our friendship grew by the day you could say, well in my eyes at least, but... I felt myself feeling different about Derpy than how I did to all my other friends. At first I just brushed it off as a sign of our close bond but, these feelings keep pestering me from Celestia’s Rise to Luna’s Set.

I started to feel this way on the night I had a concert in Manehattan, a concert that could make me and my music famous through all Equestria, but I had broken my cello. A stallion guard, a tall Earth Pony with a coat of white and a mane of sea blue, was helping me carry it up the stairs, when he proceeded to drop it, my dear and beautiful Cello was smashed to pieces. It was like my heart was what had smashed, I had loved that cello, it was a part of me, and it was the one I used for my very first concert that made me what I am today. Derpy was there when this all happened but flew quickly away, I did'nt know at the time what she was about to do but I remember being angry at her just flying off rather than comforting me. just before I was due on stage she came bursting in, a brand new cello in her hooves it looked expensive. she gave it to me, an early birthday present she said. I kissed her cheeks in happiness, unaware how much I was blushing at that point, her warm check pressed against my lips and went out to play what, in my opinion, was the best performance of my life with dear sweet Derpy Hooves watching and smiling the whole time.

After that day looking back; how I blushed, kissed her cheeks, held her hoof... I couldn't get these images out of my head. I would lay awake thinking these thoughts while my cheeks burned into my blue floral pillow. I had to admit Derpy was a very beautiful mare, if not THE most beautiful mare I had ever met in my life. She was not only this but honest, caring and so many other things I would be here forever listing them. I don’t understand, I lay picturing her face, her smooth curved feathers, how her golden eyes shimmed in Celestia's Sunlight, feeling like I never had about anypony before in my life.

But I wasn’t a fillyfooler, was I? I never thought I would or could be. I mean Vinyl is bi-sexual herself and many ponies see us two as being a couple but we aren’t, though I’m used to it. But I never thought about actually swinging that way myself. It’s not a bad thing is it? To have feelings, should I put it? I feel bad and wrong thinking how I do these past couple of months, with nopony knowing about these feelings. Feelings... feelings for Derpy Hooves... it’s just not something I ever thought I would say, especially about a mare. But thinking of her, her laugh, her cute smile and how her white teeth sparkled like diamonds, I can’t help but feel that I’m falling hopelessly in love with my friend. I have to tell somepony, well that’s the first step I guess, I’m no master at relationships but I guess somepony will have to know sooner or later.
Maybe Vinyl? She’s bi herself so maybe she can help me...

hopefully...
