Derpy Daze

Derpy awoke on a greyish cot which lacked much comfort, the last thing she could remember was a figure surrounding her.

"Hello... anyone there?"

There was no answer. Derpy reckoned that it was probably for the best that she didn't see her captors. She swiveled her head looking for the door but saw nothing, unlike earlier in the forest it was not pitch black so she could in fact see quite well. A slight whistling sound could be heard yet Derpy couldn't see anypony.

Out of nowhere "CRASH!" Derpy was sprawled out on the ground with a yellow pony atop her. In a quite dazed state, which now seemed to be a norm for her, she let out a nearly inaudible "ow."

"Sorry there, Dear. Came through the 'door' a might too fast. You wouldn't believe me if I told you that's never happened before but I swear it's true." Clearly this pegasus pony was lying but Derpy, still unable to breathe, had a more pressing issue.

She croaked horacely "Please....get....off."

"Oh I'm sorry!" The pony jumped off Derpy's back and she could finally breathe. Whilst Derpy layed on the floor groaning in pain, struggling to regain her air, the assailant from the sky went on about nonsensical stories. She talked on and on about everything and as Derpy could now very well understand the reasoning of, her name was Gabby, Gabby Twinkleshine to be exact.

"And then there was this time she ate the whole sofa with a fork, like the whole thing. Even the fork." Albeit an interesting story, Derpy had a mission, one that couldn't bennifit from staying there any longer.

"Pardon, but where's the exit?"

"Straight up, I always thought they should move it closer to the ground but noooooo. Patty always has to have it her-"

"Thanks." Dispite knowing how rude it was to interrupt she did so anyways, had she not this pony would've gone on for hours.

"Wait! Before you go out there you should know, I'm a pony just like you but the other ponies aren't. They're something else to be sure but they're friendly so don't freak out or anything "

Derpy already knew something was off, as dense as she could be that was saying something, but this like the final pin. She figured that if she ran fast enough she couldn't get caught.

Derpy replied, "I had a pretty good idea already, but thanks."

She looked around the hollow giant oak, which looked awfully in need of a new paint job and some furniture, and spotted a ladder up to the door. In Derpy's eyes it was truly the pinicle of poor design. She climbed up the ladder somewhat awkwardly due to the lack of proper securing to the ground.

The door croaked and she saw the inside of the dark foreboding canopy which now seemed less terrifying. Ponies with wings and sharp teeth walked about in what looked like the town square buying and selling, taking and frolicking, to be sure this still terrified Derpy but somehow it felt different, these were just ponies too.

Mustering up her courage she frolicd off to the center of town, ready to face her fear. She could spare a few more minutes.
