Derpy's Childhood Birthday

"Derpy... Wake up, Derpy..."

She shifted in her sleep, woke up, and saw her mother's face looking down at her. A white smile was on her face, and next to that smile was another, which belonged to her father. It wasn't white, with the red and purple jam stains and what-not, but it was still a great sight to wake up to.

"Happy Birthday!" they declared in unison, their smiles infectious as Derpy's mouth twisted into one.

"It's my birthday!" she squeaked, immediately awake and jumping around the room. She bounced off the walls in euphoria before getting tuckered out. She stared out the window and saw one of the greatest things she's ever seen. Tables formed a rectangle outside, each one with a muffin-pattern cloth. They held gifts, food, and more. Some of her mother's friends were there, as well as their kids. But above all else, the Doctor stood in the middle, holding his present rather than putting it on a table. Farther on was Pinkie Pie, with a large audience watching her juggle ten party hats, throwing them out to ponies as she went. Her hair was a bright pink mess, and she wore a party hat saying Happy Birthday, Derpy! Over her head were steel poles soaring upwards, with strings connected them, having bright flags on them. Even further were their neighbors' homes, the town hall, Sugar Cube Corner, more houses, and the mountains that were far, far away.

"We hope we did enough, sweet heart!" the father said, giving Derpy a ride on his back. He trotted out the door, down the stairs, and outside, her mother following. "Here she is everyone! The birthday girl has arrived!"

Everyone glanced up, feigned a smile, then went back to talking amidst each other, not giving the slightest care in the world, since they were only here from Derpy's mother's request. Derpy really didn't know anypony there, but there was one stallion that she did, and he was right in front of her. Derpy jumped off her father's back, flew into the air, and glided towards Doctor Whooves, who greeted her with open arms.

"I'm so glad you came!" she exclaimed, a muffin already in her hand.

"Don't talk to me just yet. Pinkie's approaching," he replied, shushing her for Pinkie's upcoming song.

Pinkie Pie approached them, juggling muffins now and running on a beach ball, spinning it to move. She opened her mouth into a great, big, beaming smile and started singing in a fast pace.

"Hey, guess who's birthday it is today?

It's your own, and no happiness will be put at bay!

Today is your day, and you can do what ever you like,

Because anyone saying otherwise can just go take a hike!

But what is your name, what is your name?

Parties with names are never the same!

If you tell me, you'll get an icee or a slurpee!

Oh, what's that? Your name is DERPY!"

Confetti exploded around her, and she danced around Derpy, throwing muffins into the air so that Derpy could fly and get them. The happiness on her face was more than Pinkie's. Once she finished off the muffins, the Doctor walked up.

"Here, this is something that I thought you'd like." He put the present on the ground. Derpy stared at it before putting her hooves on it and tearing it apart. Inside the paper was a box. She opened it, and was blinded by the light from inside for a moment. Her eyes adjusted, and she shifted the box so the sun didn't glare off the object inside. She dumped it onto her hoof to see a small key that read T.A.R.D.I.S.

"Um, what is it?" she asked, confused.

"Here, follow me," he responded, walking behind their house. Her dad was busy doing something, and her mother was in the middle of a conversation with another mare, who was mocking Derpy's eyes before a harsh slap was delivered to her by the mother. "I am going to show you the most amazing thing you'll ever see." He covered her eyes, and walked her over. "Tada!" he exclaimed, removing his hooves.

Derpy was confused once again, because what stood in front of her was a blue box with white windows around it, and the top of it said POLICE PONY BOX. "I still don't get it," she said, one eye drooping down.

"Ah, but that's because you haven't seen the inside. I'll only show you a peek." He opened the door of the blue box just a crack, and Derpy gasped in amazement to see a huge room with technology everywhere. "This is the TARDIS, which is partially my home. You may enter it when ever you like with that key. But not today. After all, you still have a lot of partying to do, don't you?" He flashed her a smile.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" she screamed out, flying circles around him. They both walked back to the front, and kept partying. Derpy never mentioned to her parents of the box, but after that day, she did go inside it, and it turned out that it was a time traveling device. They traveled far and wide for the years that came, solving problems and learning lessons.
