Falling for a Mail Mare

I woke up and saw her. I suspect at that moment I was probably blushing to death. I just kept looking at her. I couldn't think of anything or do anything. Just sit there and look at her. She then started to open her eyes. She yawned slowly as her eyes slowly opened.

“....Hello Red...” said Derpy and then, “Red?!”

“Morning Beautiful.” I said and then kissed her.

She kissed me back and then went back a little and asked, “Um, why are we in my bed, how did we get here?”

“Um, we uh, fell asleep as soon as we got here, I think. I can barely remember anything.”

“Same here, I remember that too.”

“Well, um, I guess, um, would you like to stay here a little longer?”

She paused and then she said, “I would love that but, um..”

“You have to go to work soon, don't you?”

“Yeah...”

“We've been dating for about half a year now. I know you pretty well now.”

“Oh stop it.” she said as she hit me casually.

“Heh, heh, heh..”

We both got up and then she got her uniform on quickly and ate a muffin quickly. I soon said goodbye to her and Dinky. I left and went back to my house. I yawned as I was still a little tired. Then I just sat there for a little while. I didn't feel like writing. I felt almost too happy to do anything. Its weird. I just don't know what to do. Then I realized, if you don't know what to do just go ask someone else what you should do. I got up and spread my wings. They're stiff, I don't fly very often. I then left my house and took off into the sky. I flew to Manehattan and went to my dad's candle shop. I then walked in and saw my dad behind the register.

“Red?”

“Hi dad. Um, do you have a second?”

He looked at for a second and then smiled, “Of course, I always have time for my son.”

“Thanks.”

He then signals one of his employees to take the register and takes me to the back of the store. After we got back there, he put a huge smile on his face.

“You confessed didn't you?”

“Wh-what?!”

“I know that face. You were really happy coming in here, though you looked slightly confused at the same time.”

“I, uh, I, um...”

“Don't be embarrassed, you're talking to your father. Look sharp.”

“Sorry. Yeah, I confessed.”

“And she loves you back doesn't she.”

“I, uh, yeah, wait, how did you know?”

“One, you're happy and two, your mother visited her a few days ago.”

“Oh yeah, she told me about that.”

“So, why are you here?”

“I need some advice.”

“You want to go all in.”

“.....Yeah, I think I do.”

“Well, than just do it.”

“But dad, I don't know if I'm ready!”

“You're ready.”

“How do you know?!”

“Because, you're never ready for what you're trying to do.”

“....Really?”

“Oh yeah, I wasn't ready either when I did it.”

“....Thanks dad.”

“No problem, now get out of here.”

“Yeah.”

“Don't hesitate.” he said as I left.

“I'm going to try to make sure I don't. Hopefully.”

My dad laughed at me as I left. “Ugh, I hope I don't mess this up.”

“Don't worry, you won't.” he yelled back.

I flew back to Ponyville as hours passed by. He got to Ponyville a little after sunset and immediately went to a shop. I quickly went and got exactly what I wanted. I then went to Derpy's house. She should be done with her job by now. I knocked on the door only for Carrot Top to answer. She was fillysitting Dinky again. I asked her about Derpy and she told me was just running a little late. I went inside and I could tell Carrot Top knew why I was here.

“My, my, this is quite bold of you Red.”

“This is just how it works out. Nothing more than that.”

“Hmmmm....”

She kept sitting there, looking at me and then there was a knock at the door. Derpy then walked in, taking her hat off onto the hat rack by the door. She then saw me.

“Red? What are you doing here?”

“Well, ah, its not worth explaining.”

“Oh okay.” she said and then hugged Dinky. Derpy went to her room and took her uniform off. Carrot Top kept looking at me and asked if she should leave. I told her she didn't have to. Derpy then walked in. I then walked over to her and bended over.

“Red?”

“Derpy, I um, did a lot of thinking and, um, I had to do a lot of thinking to get here and it's not easy to say this.”

“Say what?”

I pulled the ring out I bought earlier today. “Derpy, you beautiful beautiful mare, will you marry me?”

Then she just stood there, with a blank face and then tears ran down her eyes. She then gave me that great goofy grin of hers and then spoke up.

“YES!! YES, I WILL!!! I LOVE YOU RED FEATHER!!” she yelled with all her might. At that moment, I kissed her long and hard.

“I love you too Derpy.” I said.

Dinky began celebrating, saying she knew this would happen while Carrot Top just kept giggling. We hugged and kissed for what seemed to be a lifetime. Later, we talked about what to do next, I would need to rent a tux and she would need to go to Rarity for a wedding dress. Then there would be invites, planning the date of the wedding, the cake, all that stuff. Ugh, this will probably be really really annoying. It didn't matter to me. I was just happy either way.
