Love in the Time of Postage

Oh, Luna... my head...

I wake up with a crick in my neck from sleeping on Derpy's side. Well, I was until she left in the middle of the night. Or the early morning, I don't know and don't care. All I know is that she's gone. I get out of bed extremely quickly in a panic, and feel blood rush to my head. I get dizzy and spots dance in my vision to the rhythm of my heartbeat. Or to the song that was blasting through the house. "Sweet Celestia, how doesn't he get arrested for noise pollution?" I mumble to myself as I rush into the kitchen. The music stops immediately, and is changed to a song that was nowhere as loud and obnoxious as the other one was. The Doctor is moving his hooves to the tune of the song, as if he were conducting an invisible orchestra. He turns towards me.
"Ah, good morning, Nicholt. I thought you would be awake by now, so I made you some pancakes!" He says with a smile. I perk up at the mention of pancakes. I love pancakes. I walk to the table and sit. I notice half of a grapefruit covered in a shiny caramel-colored top. A spoon was placed next to it, obviously to eat it with.
I say, "Doc, what's with the citrus?" before leaning back in my chair.
"What?" He asks, bringing a plate to me and setting it down in front of me.
"The grapefruit."
"Oh!" He exclaims, going to his seat. "The grapefruit. Well, in my many travels to other worlds, I found many strange customs. One such custom of one such world was to take the fruit of the Citrus x paradisi, or grapefruit, and cover it in sugar. Then, they would take an open flame or a heating element and caramelize the sugar and cook the fruit. This fruit, which was also called the grapefruit, was then served with something to balance the sweetness, usually meats in that world. Since nobody in this darned place eats meat, I usually settle for eggs or pancakes. We had eggs for dinner yesterday, so pancakes it is."

I nodded, and then realized why I had gotten out of bed so quickly. "Where's Ditzy? I woke up and she was gone!"
"Working. Had to deliver a parcel here, a package there, about twenty letters to almost everywhere in Equestria, et cetera. One of which was for a Mr. and Mrs. Davis, I presume?" He says, cutting into his grapefruit with the spoon in a scooping motion. I followed suit.
After eating a piece of the grapefruit (which was tasty), I reply, "Yeah. That's the only reason I'm actually here. If I hadn't have come to the post office, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have met you, and probably would never have met Derpy." I sigh, and look at the clock. It is 6:15, and I was expected at the Library at 7 o' clock. I finish my food relatively quickly, and say goodbye to the doctor.
"Goodbye, lad! Have a fantastic day!" He said back.

I trotted towards the library, but as I walked through an intersection...
SMASH!
I was ran into by an orange mare with a cowboy hat.
"Hey, watch where yer- Oh, Nick. Sorry. I need to go ask Pinkie Pie for some blueberry juice." Applejack says, brushing herself off.
"Blueberries?" I ask, standing up. "I thought you sold apples and cider and stuff."
"Yeah, but..." she replies, blushing. "I wanted to see how apple cider would taste with a dash of blueberry. Kinda fun to experiment, you know?" she adds, looking at me suggestively.
"Uh... sure. Look, I gotta run. We'll talk later! Save me some cider!" I say, galloping off.
"Kay, hotshot! See ya!" She says, galloping towards the bakery.

I came to another intersection. "Oh, please don't let me get tackled again." I think as I walk slowly across the intersection. I look at my pocket watch and see that it's already 6:40. I keep walking until, inevitably...
CRASH!
A pink blob careens into me. I got up, and realized I now smelt like cotton candy. It was Pinkie, and she was shaking some dust out of her mane... and FLOATING UPSIDE-DOWN.
"Um... Pinkie?" I ask, staring. "You're floating."
"Sekai de ichi-ban ohime-sama." she sings to herself, shaking dust and a pair of sunglasses out of her mane. She then notices me. "Oh, hi Niko! I was just going to buy some blueberries! Blubburries, one pony said. Silly, I said in reply." she giggles, still floating upside-down.
"That's... interesting..." I say, trying to fathom how she's walking upside-down on thin air.
"Well, I'm off. See you later, Nicky-Ricky-Hicky!" she says, before returning to the ground and trotting away. I could have sworn I heard her mutter under her breath, "Sweet Celestia, he's adorable." but that couldn't have been.
Could it?

I finally made it to the library at 6:55, and walk inside. Twilight is laying on her bed writing something.
"Hey, Twi!" I shout, walking in.
She at me and smiles. "Hey, Nick. I actually don't have anything for you to do today, but I'd like to talk." I nod, and walk up to the small bed. She looks at me, and motions for me to sit down in the chair next to the bed. I do so. She starts talking. "I have a question for you, Nick. Have you, perchance, fallen in love during your stay here?"
I looked at her with suprise. "Yes, actually. Why?"
"You seem different than yesterday, and that was my first guess as to why. Alright, another question. Has anypony fallen in love with you?"
I think for a second. "Well, as far as I can tell, five have. Charlotte (you don't know her), Rarity, maybe Applejack, maybe Pinkie Pie, and Derpy Hooves."
Her eyes widen in amazement. She whistles at the number. "Wow, that's insane! You ARE charming, but I didn't know you were that charming. Alright, third question. Have you slept with any of these ponies?"
I look at her in slight confusion. "Isn't that a bit personal?"
"Yes, but I won't tell anypony."
"What about Spike? He's not a pony."
"I won't tell him either." she says with a sigh.
"If you mean had sex with, no. I'm not that kind of pony, as I've explained to others. I have, however, slept in the same bed as one of these ponies." I say.
"Okay. Do you know The Doctor?"
"Yes."
"Tell him The Wolfcolt is back in, if he wishes to check it out."
