Chapter 1: A Normal Everyday Party...With My Crush

My name is Flash Photo. I am just a normal everyday pony who tries to make his living on taking pictures. When I'm not working at Photo Phun (fun) I'm walking around trying to make conversation. I live alone, but my friend Ice Cream visits here all the time, so he practically lives with me. If there is just the one thing I want apart from my photography career to kick off is to gain the love from my friend D...

     HELLO FLASH, Ice shouted from behind.

     Ahhh, I screamed. Ice? What are you doing?

     Oh nothing, he replied, just saying hello to my best friend and greatest photographer Flash.

     Well I would appreciate it if you would scare my heart out of my mouth, I said angrily.

     Woah man. O...what's that you got there? he said interrupting himself.

     This is a video camera. I use it to record myself talking about events that happen. It is supposed to help with stress and stuff. Oh well.

    Oh, he replied. So basically you've finally reached the peak of insanity? That makes sense. Only a crazy pony would try to keep taking pictures of other ponies.

     WHAT? I said, that's not what I do. I take pictures of nature, buildings, and on the side I take pictures of ponies who pay me to.

     And Derpy, he said smugly. She doesn't pay you and you take pictures of her all the time.

    As I blushed deeply at the moment of hearing this I tell him that she doesn't pay me, but I offer to take pictures of her. I couldn't charge the mare I crushed so hard on to get an ever lasting picture of her. I just couldn't, she's a close friend. Though I did take pictures of Derpy without her knowing, I wasn't being creepy. Derpy is a hard subject to capture. She's a good model at every angle. That's the problem. I take pictures at their perfect moments. Derpy is amazing at every angle, but I need to get the PERFECT pose.

     You know what, he said, I don't want to hear about your creepiness towards her. See ya man.

     He lept out of the window like the daring idiot he is. I ran at the window and shouted "It's NOT CREEPINESS, IT'S PHOTOGRAPHY." Everypony in the area heard me and looked at me with a strange look. I put my head back inside and fell asleep on my bed. not before looking at all of the pictures of Derpy I had.

     I heard a knock at my door. I walked down stairs and opened the door. There was Derpy. She was all bruised up, and crying. I asked her what was wrong and she just looked at me...with a blank stare her eyes started going black. I couldn't move...I was getting frightened. As she opened her mouth, sharp, pointy teeth started to grow. She lunged at me making a shreek that could make anypony deaf, just from being near her.

     I awoke with a knock at my door. Probably best to, when I take naps I can't sleep at night. I walked down stairs and opened my door. There standing in front of me was Derpy Hooves. I don't know what I found so cute about the ditzy mare that was Derpy. Was it her cross eyes, her beautiful golden mane, her innocence, or her adorable voice. I guess it was all of it. While someponies called her a clutz, and see her as a filly, I look at her as sompony who tries her hardest at what she does, even if she's slowed down a little.

    "H...h...hi Derpy, what are you doing here?" I asked wondering if this was another dream or not, while also being emberassed seeing Derpy at my house.

     "Hi Flash." She responded in her adorable voice (the one from the 100th episode). "I brought you a letter."

    She handed me a note that had terrible handwriting on the back. Obviously it was her handwriting, but I wondered why she was giving me a letter. I opened it up to see a card that said Happe  Birthdae Flash. (Happy Birthday)

     "I know on birthdays people are supposed to be invited to the birthday person's house," she said happily, "but I wanted to throw you a surprise party with all of your friends. Oopsy that was supposed to be a surprise."

    "It's ok," I said while laughing, "I'll act surprised."

    I can't believe I forgot it was my birthday, but why didn't Ice remind me about that. He probably forgot to get me a gift, so he needed to buy some time. (I'd prefer he'd  buy me a present. SORRY I had to.)

     "Well see you at my house at 3:00." She flew of with a happy expression on her face.

     I looked at my watch and it was 2:50. I immediately headed over to Derpy's house, and when I was half way there I realized something. I was going to Derpy's house...for the first time. I knew where she lived but still. I was surprised. I continued heading over, with my camera around my neck. As a photographer I always bring my camera, just in case of a photo op. (photo opportunity.)

    It was 3:01 and I arrived at Derpy's house. I was 1 minute late and when I got up to the door, Derpy immediately came out and tackled me with a hug.

    "Derpy," Abigale (my sister) said coming outside, "this was supposed to be a surprise party."

    "Don't worry everypony," I said as I picked up my glasses off of the ground, "That was a surprise enough."

    "Derpy probably told Flash at the house anyways," Jewleiette said (Derpy's Co-worker/friend).

   Derpy looked at the ground upset. Then I cut in and said "Hey should we head inside and see the party?" Derpy perked up immediately when I said this.

    "Oh yeah. I have the perfect thing for you inside...I mean we all have great stuff for you" Derpy corrected herself as not to anger anypony else.

    We all went inside to sit down and have the party. There was a carrot cake sitting on the table. After we ate the cake, I opened the few presents I got. My sister got me some new film for my camera. Abigale got me a new blanket, and Ice got me a new tripod after he broke my other one trying to sword fight with me. Derpy rushed in with her gift and set down a basket of muffins. Jewliette said "Derpy this is Flash's party, you should be thinking about him, not your self.

    (Author's Note) Now I should just mention this so no bad blood get's tossed towards Jewliette. First off, she's Derpy's coworker and she doesn't want customers shouting at Derpy, so she lets Derpy's mistakes get pinned on her. Secondly Abby has a bit of a temper, and she wants Derpy to learn properly, so the anger gets mixed with the help and sounds kind of mean. She's a nice pony and you'll see that sometime soon.

    "No...it's perfect," I said staring deeply into a muffin in my hand.

    Everyone asked "what" in confusion, while Derpy was sitting there smiling.

   Well as you all know, I don't like cake very much, I said astonished, so I get very picky, but muffins are perfect. They're soft, delicious, and they don't have messy frosting or icing. I'm not trying to make your gifts sound lame, so please don't take it that way. It's just I can't complain with a muffin, it's the perfect treat.  Everypony was expecting to see Derpy pounce on me again, but no, she stood there with her normal beautiful smile.

    "How'd you know that would make him that happy, Derpy. I mean Abby is his sister, and Ice practically lives with him so how'd you know," Jewliette asked.

     "I bring Flash's mail to him on my 3 O'Clock break everyday. We get lots of time to talk." Derpy said as she smiled.

     It reached 6 O'Clock in the night, and everypony went home. I stayed home to help Derpy clean up. In a half hour everything was cleaned and I was ready to go.

    "Hey Flash," Derpy said, "There's one more thing I want to show you before you leave. Come to the back yard."

    We went to Derpy's back yard. Oddly enough it over looked the ocean, which I was terrifyed to go in, but always loved to look at from the beach.

    "I know you're scared of the ocean, but I'd like to go sometime." She said.

    "I...I don't know." I said worriedly.

    I was so conflicted (confused). Swimming with Derpy would be amazing, but the ocean.

    "If it helps, I'll defend you from the sea monsters that wait to grab your hoofs." She teased.

   "That doesn't help Derpy," I said terrified, "but maybe..."

    "Hey Derpy..."I asked nervously, "Do you mind if I get a picture of you out here tonight?"

    "Sure, I love being your model." She replied happily.

    I went to take a picture and she looked straight at the camera. I had it focused, then she jumped on me and kissed me on the mouth. She ran inside, not embarrassed, but happy. I lied there in the same position that I'd been knocked down on.
