Derpy always tries her best to do everything, but her natural clumsiness always gets in the way.

Derpy is always teased, even by Rainbow Dash, because she's so clumsy, and they told her that she'll never do anything right. But her daughters and a very special friend help her with a little magic, a very special charm.

Kindness In All Its Forms

A gray Pegasus looked out of her window from her home in Ponyville, and up to the sky. Up in the sky, was a city made entirely of cloud, known as Cloudsdale. The Pegasi, who live there, are very proud of their jobs as weather ponies, mail carriers, and Wonderbolts.

Derpy, being the most clumsiest pony, due to her eyes, was, as her boss said, the worst mail pony ever.

She didn't mean to have cross eyes, she was born that way. "Mama?" "Mommy?" said two different voices from behind her.

When she turned around, she noticed two unicorns. The eldest, was an amethyst one with beautiful streaks of purple for her mane and tail,, violet eyes, and a purple sparkling star for her cutie mark. And the youngest, was a lighter purple one, with a blond mane and tail, yellow eyes, and a blank flank.

Derpy, recognizing her daughters, smiled, and said, "Hi Sparkler, good morning Muffin."  Sparkler, and Dinky, ran up to their mother, and hugged her tightly. Derpy, started to cry, a moment later. Hearing their mother's tears, Sparkler, and Dinky, broke out of her embrace.

"What's wrong, Mommy?"

"Nothing Muffin, it's just that, well, Mommy did the most big disaster this time."

"What happened Mama?"

"I was delivering another big, fragile package last night. I was flying, I avoided the clouds, but the Town Hall came out of nowhere. Rainbow Dash was there. And, and, she saw the package, and noticed the thing in the box was broken. And she called me a disgrace to her, and everypony, even you two."

"What?! She shouldn't say things like that to you Mama."

"Yeah, we love you Mommy."

"I know you two do, but nopony else dose."

"But we know a pony who loves everypony, and would be more then willing to help them out Mommy, right Sparkler?"

"Of course Dinky." Sparkler, and Dinky, knowing exactly where to find her, followed a stone trail up to a cottage with a grass rooftop. Sparkler knocked on the door. The pony who answered it, was a yellow Pegasus, with a pink mane and tail.

"Hello, Sparkler, and Dinky", Fluttershy greeted the unicorns politely.

"Fluttershy, we need your help for our mommy."

"Yeah, our mama's feeling very sad, since Rainbow Dash called her a disgrace to us."

Fluttershy, shocked by the whole thing, knew exactly what to do. Fluttershy, lead the two unicorns, to a house made of cloud, down a dirt path. Fluttershy, flew up to the house, and knocked on the door softly. "Ok, I'm coming!" a voice shouted from inside the house.

Hooves stomped from the house, and the pony answered the door. The sky blue Pegasus, sighed in relief, at the pony at her front door. Her mood was changed, however, when she saw how angry Fluttershy was.

"Rainbow Dash, how could you be so cruel to Derpy?!"

"What?! Is she upset about the whole package thing?" Rainbow Dash asked, as she tried to smile at her friend.

"She's upset because you called her a disgrace to her daughters, and that was so selfish of you, how would you have like it if somepony told you, you would never be a Wonderbolt?"

Rainbow Dash, realizing her mistake, sighed, and said, "You're right, I should apologize."

"And Dinky and I know how to make Mama feel special."

Dinky, Sparkler, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash, went to Derpy's house and planned the most special party for her. Rainbow Dash, decorated the banner. Fluttershy, and her animals filled the house to the brim of balloons and streamers. Sparkler, and Dinky, baked muffins in the kitchen.

After they all had finished, Sparkler said, as she turned from the window, "Here she comes, positions everypony."

Derpy, as she opened the door, noticed, that the house was empty and dark. "Sparkler? Muffin? where are you?" she called out to her daughters.

"Surprise!" everyone shouted, as they jumped from out of the couch, after Derpy turned on the light.

"A party? For me? Oh Sparkler, Muffin, you shouldn't have."

"But we wanted to Mama."

"It's our way of saying, we love you Mommy."

"We all do Derpy, right Rainbow Dash?"

"Yeah, and I'm sorry for calling you a disgrace, can you forgive me?"

"Of course I can Rainbow Dash."

Derpy felt the love her daughters have for her, it was so great, that they both decided to throw her a party, to show her, how much they cared. Derpy, held her daughters in her forelegs, Sparkler, and Dinky, gave her a hug. "I'm so lucky, to have two daughters who love me very much", Derpy whispered in Sparkler's ear, as she hugged them back. Derpy now realized that maybe, she is a very special somepony after all.

The next morning, Derpy woke up for work, and noticed something in her mailbag. It was a letter from her two daughters.

"Dear Mama, hope you have a wonderful day at work. We'll see you when we get home. Love Sparkler and Dinky."

Derpy, put a letter for her daughters, on the front door. Derpy was thinking about the love Sparkler and Dinky have for her, and the love she had for them.

After she had locked the door, Derpy flew off to her job at the Cloudsdale post office, hoping to have more confidence in herself, knowing that she has two wonderful daughters who would do anything to make her proud.

When Dinky got home from school, she noticed that Sparkler, was walking home as well. Then they noticed the letter, that their mother left behind. They both opened it. "Thank you girls for believing in me. Leftover soup in the fridge. See you tonight. Love Mama."

Sparkler, and Dinky went in the house, knowing they are so lucky, to have a mother, like Derpy.
