Falling for a Mail Mare

My mind kept racing. I kissed her, holy cats, I kissed her! What do I do? Should I just ask what she thought about the kiss? Should I just ask about another date? Aw man, my mind is falling apart. Well, before I knew it, it was the next day and that was when things started to change. It started when I spent the day writing and I was writing like crazy. My next book was already almost finished, I never write this much but I was just on roll. Then I heard a knock at the door. I quickly looked at the clock and saw it was really late and then went to the door.

“Hello, may I help- Derpy?!” I said suddenly.

“Hiya Red! You got another package!” she said with glee.

“It's quite late in the day Derpy.”

“Yeah, I know, but I wanted to see you so I decided to come to you after my shift is done. You're my last stop.”

“I'm pretty sure I'm not but thank you for doing such a thing, um, please come in, I'll make you some tea.” I said even though I'm not a good tea maker, I'll admit.

“Oh well, I can't stay for long.” she said blushing.

She gave me the package and quickly glanced at it as I went to my kitchen. It's from my editor, probably about the publisher and my last book. I started up some tea.

“Thank you for letting me in.”

“No problem.”

“Um, thank you for being so kind Red.”

“No, um, I...”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Uh, sure”

“I wanted to ask this on our date but I didn't want be rude.” she said quietly.

“What's wrong Derpy?”

“Why did you ask me out? A mare like me? Didn't you know how much ponies make fun of me around here or anywhere?”

“Well, um, I came to Ponyville because Manehatten is very very loud. I needed peace. As you might not know, I rarely leave this house, especially since I've been on a roll in writing in my new book. I never knew you were disliked.”

“That still doesn't answer my question.”

“Well, when I went to the post office for the first time and saw you. I just don't know what happened to me... You see I use romance novels to help me write my characters and well...” I said slowly.

“What happened? Why are you stopping?”

“It's just, well, embarrassing.”

“Hee hee” she said giggling. “Your face is so red right now, it's okay, just tell me!”

“This is gonna sound corny, but that night I dreamed that me and you were together in, uh, a situation similar to the book I read.”

“Really?!” she said with excitement. “What was it?”

“We were dancing and, um, I was going to, er, uh, kiss you....” I said very slowly. “And then I woke up.”

She blushed bright red and then said. “Wow. Huh.”

“After that, I, uh, couldn't stop thinking about you. Sorry.”

“Why are you sorry?”

“Well, it sounds really creepy in my mind.” I said, and then the tea kettle began screeching.

“Oh no! The tea!” I yelled and quickly ran into the kitchen and tried to get the tea ready. “Sorry about that.”

I gave her the tea and I saw a look from her like no other. Her eyes looked aligned and she looked with at me with such an expectant look.

“I don't understand.” she said.

“What do you mean?”

“Did you fall for me at first sight?”

I froze for a second and then slowly said, “I think I did, I'm not lying, I just, well...”

“I never said you were lying.”

“I didn't mean that, it just, you look like you can't believe it.” I then took a sip of my tea.

She drank some tea, “Wow, this tastes good. Thank you.”

“Oh, thank you. Um, Derpy, do you not like how I fell for you?”

Her expression turned into a worry filled one. “No no no no no, I didn't mean that at all. I just can't believe it. I can't believe someone just fell for me.”

“Derpy.... If you don't want to date me, I understand.”

Her face turned to pure sadness, “No! I never meant that.” she then started to cry.

“Oh no, I'm so sorry Derpy, I didn't mean to make you cry! Please forgive me! I'm so so sorry!”

She then sniffed a few times, “I'm not sad, these are tears of joy. Thank you so much Red.”

She then hugged me and I hugged her back.

“Thank you Red.”

“You don't need to thank me. Why are thanking me anyway?”

“I thought except for Dinky and Carrot, no other ponies would really accept me.”

“Oh Derpy...” I said as I hugged her more.

“I need to go home to Dinky. I'm sorry but I need to go and think about some things.”

“Why don't I escort you home?”

“You would do that?”

“Yeah, I would also like to meet Dinky.”

“Yeah, that's a good idea.”

We then slowly walked to her house. I kept looking at her, just admiring her beauty. That and I was trying to prepare myself for meeting her daughter. We soon got to her house and we opened he door.

“MOMMY!” her daughter yelled as she jumped right on top of Derpy.

“Whoa!” I said.

“Hello Dinky! How's my favorite little muffin?”

“I'm so happy you're home!”

“Hello Derpy,” said a calm voice, I turned around to see a orange yellow pony, she must be Carrot Top.

“Are you Red Feather? Huh, huh, huh?” Dinky said quickly.

“Um, yes, you must be Miss Dinky Doo, it's nice to meet you.”

“Wow! He is a gentlecolt like you said mommy!” she said at which then Derpy blushed.

“Let's go inside.”

I went inside the house, it was quite well made, but then I quickly realized what I was doing. I wanted to hit myself for almost starting to judge her house. I can't be that kind of pony. I then glanced at Carrot Top and I knew she could tell what I was thinking. She had a quick giggle and then spoke up.

“I'm going to go home now Derpy, Dinky has already ate supper. I'll see you later.”

“Thank you so much for foalsitting Carrot Top.”

“No problem and It was nice to finally meet you Red Feather, see you later.” and then she walked out.

Dinky then spoke up, “Hey, hey, hey, did you do all that kissy kissy stuff yet?”

Both me and Derpy immediately blushed and looked at each other. “I don't think you're old enough to be asking at, Miss Dinky.”

“Yeah, time for bed my little muffin.”

“But mom! I wanna stay up and see if he's right for you.”

What a crazy little filly. She sure does love her mom if she says something like that.

“Don't worry Miss Dinky, we'll meet up another day and you can interrogate me all you want.”

She looked at me with a puzzled look, “What does inter-ro-grate mean?”

“Haha, It means you sit with someone and ask them questions.”

“Oh, okay.”

“I better take my leave Derpy, thank you for taking time to visit me today.”

She looked at me with a huge smile. “Thank you for accepting me.”

“No problem Derpy.”

I then hugged her hard and kissed her on the cheek. “How about we talk about a second date tomorrow, huh?”

“Okay!” she said, nodding.

I then went home, I must of have one smile of my face. I was so happy. What a day!
