To Love Derpy

Chapter 3: OctaDerp

I sat in the restaurant, nervous. Would she even arrive? What if she didn’t? I found myself getting worked up, probably over nothing but I couldn’t help it. I looked around couples were everywhere, laughing, talking, holding hooves. I pictured me and Derpy doing the same and again I found myself bright red. I really need to stop doing that. I heard the front door loudly open and slam shut several ponies where just as startled as I was. I looked up, and there was Derpy. She looked... breathtaking. Her mane had been curled with a bubbles hairclip inside. A soft yellow silk dress hugged her body with a lacy bow on her back. I had never thought she could ever look any more beautiful than I already thought she was. She came and sat on the seat opposite me. “Hey! It’s great to see you!” Derpy said as bubbly as ever. I had a feeling that tonight might just go well.

A long while later...

The meal went wonderfully, Derpy told me all about how Dinky, her daughter was doing at school. That’s another reason I’m worried to tell her, she has a nine year old daughter; that just makes it even less likely that she’ll ever see me the way I see her. But despite that we had a good time, shared a few laughs and had a truly delicious meal of ranch salad and ice cream for dessert.
We began to talk down the dark streets of Ponyville, it was very quiet. Well it was quite late I guess but I liked it just being us two. I had offered to walk Derpy home and she had let me, this was when I was going to tell her. I didn’t dare in the restaurant for fear she might attract the attention of onlookers if she reacted badly to it. I needed to tell her. What if she doesn’t feel the same way? I’ll be ok with that, though I hope our friendship will remain intact.

We arrived at Derpy’s but I made us stop and take a seat on the bench beside her front door. I looked to the sky; the stars gleamed in the dark, just like Derpy’s eyes. I looked at her to see her staring at me, her eyes even though couldn’t look the same way were clearly trying to focus on me. Even though she might not have been looking at me the way I hoped she was I still found my cheeks flaming. Clearing my throat, I guess it’s now or never.” “Derpy?” I said shakily.

“Yeah Octy?” She smiled at me her perfectly white teeth shining in the night.

“I need to tell you something.....

It was then when I told her everything. Just like with Vinyl I said it all in a rush saying everything I needed to. I told her how much our friendship meant to me. How after the incident with my cello all those months ago made me question my feelings, how Vinyl insisted she came to dinner with me so I could tell her.

“Derpy, I think I’m in love with you”...

She stared at me, the same as she was though my whole speech, she opened her mouth as to say something, but quickly shut it. I was really upset, not even an ‘I’m sorry I don’t feel that way’ or ANY reaction at all. “I’m...sorry Derpy... ill just leave now” Getting up and starting to walk away, I was too scared to hang around, I’m such a fool for thinking she could ever like a mare like me.

“WAIT!”

I turned quickly upon hearing Derpy’s sudden outburst; she had a tear running down her face. Oh Buck, had I upset her that much? I’m such an idiot! “Octy” She whimpered. Oh gosh I’m so sorry Derpy.

Suddenly Derpy had flown over and grabbed me in her hooves, holding me close and tight. I didn’t know what to think. Then Derpy kissed me... it was exactly how I wanted to be, if not better. Her lips were soft and tasted like muffins, well no surprise there. She slowly pulled away as I stared at her slightly breathless. Then Derpy turned and began to talk to her house.

“Derpy” I whispered after her. What was that mare up to? As Derpy opened the door to step inside she turned to look at me, softness in her eyes I’d never seen before.

“You’d have to take me out on another date sometime, Octavia” She winked and slowly shut the door, leaving me standing on her porch.

“And another date you shall have, my dear sweet Derpy” I said to the door before turning away to walk home, knowing that right now, my life was officially perfect.
