Can I Adjust To This Colorful New Life?
Chapter 8: Ditzy/Derpy
Previous ChapterNext ChapterYou Have Chosen Derpy!
While the 3 mares stared you down hoping for answers, you simply said, "I love Ditzy, I want her to be my muffin"
While the whole muffin thing was cheesy, made even more obvious my Rainbow making a fake gagging noise, it seems that Ditzy took those words to heart. "Thank you muffin, and, you can call me Derpy, especially since we're dating now!" Where Ditzy, or rather, Derpy, gets all her energy from, you haven't a clue, but now you know that she will share this energy with you, either in muffins or in love. The muffins idea sounds good, as your stomach rumbles due to you having been out for around a day, and talking about delicious muffins doesn't really help. Thankfully the other two aren't as sad as you thought they would be, probably because they know you'll be good to Derpy, or they just wanted you to be happy, who cares? You're hungry, and all you can think about is muffins!
After managing to talk the group, Twilight included seeing as she stayed unlike Big Mac, into going to Sugar Cube Corner for some treats the rest of the day was fairly uneventful. Luckily it seems that the bakery was under a bit of stress due to someone in Canterlot ordering 5 baker's dozens of cupcakes, probably for a high class party or something, so Pinkie's usual welcome party was put on hold, and instead she decided to make everyone a special muffin. After about 5 minutes of waiting everyone had a different muffin in front of them. Berry for Twilight, apple for Applejack, wild berry for Rainbow, blueberry for Derpy, and chocolate for you. Remembering that chocolate is poisonous to some animals back on Earth, you ask Twilight if chocolate is safe to eat, and luckily it is, otherwise you'd feel bad not being able to explain why you didn't eat the muffin she made you. It was then that Derpy decided to give you a pet name of your own, "Chocolate Muffin!" she decided to yell for some reason. She explained it as since you were her muffin, and you were chocolate toned, you were a chocolate muffin. Makes sense, but she still just calls you muffin anyways.

It's been just over a year since you came to Equestria, and thanks to Pinkie throwing a "Welcome/Happy Relationship/Big Order is Done!" party, you met many of the ponies that live in or near Ponyville. Along with that you found out that being with Derpy felt almost like you were still on Earth, as she had a personality that just made you feel at home, and so the relationship was growing fast, with a certain fashion pony spreading rumors about marriage. After being with Derpy for so long, it's not something you haven't considered, but with you not having a stable income, being the town handyman isn't so secure, and you're not sure if Derpy is ready. Actually, you're not sure if Derpy is anything. She's still a little bit mysterious to you, but other than that you know almost everything about each other, though she doesn't understand the whole Earth thing.
_____________________________________________________________________________
6 months have passed, and now the rumors of marriage have been put to rest, as you and Derpy actually did get married, and under Celestia too! You don't have any clue how Twilight did it, but she did, and it was the most amazing thing ever, Rainbow even doing a Sonic Rainboom to celebrate. Right now Derpy is pregnant with a foal, apparently a Unicorn, if you can trust Twilight's magical ability, which you obviously do, it's her talent after all! When the news hit town everyone seemed to freeze, but then all eyes turned to you, something they've only done twice in the whole time you've been there. Knowing that Derpy wouldn't be able to do her mail job, you opted to open a handyman business, which has done fairly well, and your cutie mark revealed itself to be a swiss army knife, probably because you could do almost everything the ponies in town could ask of you, even at one time helping give birth to a foal due to the hospital being worked on and therefore not open. So much has happened and you just can't believe it, but in the end you love every minute of it.

5 years later. Now that your young filly is old enough for school Derpy is thinking about returning to being a mailmare, something you said she doesn't have to do anymore, as your business has become successful, even one time going up to the castle to repair an old rafter in the throne room. You decided to go along with the fanon that you could remember and named the filly Dinky, it also helps that she got her mother's personality and basic appearance. Although, you do like to laugh to yourself, as your appearance closely resembles "Doctor Whooves" the fan character who was supposedly a time pony, that everyone always paired with Derpy. Now you're walking with Dinky and Derpy to the local school house, but something unexpected happens. Celestia herself comes down and stops right before you, with what looks to be an egg. Remembering the story of how Twilight got Spike your heart skips a beat, almost afraid that this could mean your daughter is going to be taken away to study magic.
Just as Celestia hoped, Dinky was able to hatch the egg perfectly, revealing and grey and brown baby dragon. While Derpy and Dinky played with the new baby Celestia pulls you aside. "I remembered the story you told me when you came to fix the palace, of how your daughter seemed to have great magical abilities, as she had been able to lift you off the ground and turn a napkin into a muffin" whispered Celestia, "but don't worry, she'll stay here in Ponyville, I'll have Twilight teach her all there is to know about magic." With that weight on your shoulders is gone, and you turn back to your family.
This is the perfect life, and it can't get any better than this, you think to yourself as you watch Dinky throw muffins at the baby dragon while Derpy cheers her on.
This one goes a lot faster compared to Applejack, but that's because Derpy is just so loveable!
