Set during 'The Last Roundup' in Ponyville just before and then just after Applejack left town. Alt Universe tag used to account for dialogue changes that leads to the misunderstanding.

Derpy Hooves is clumsy on a good day and outright clueless on a bad day but she's a good pony with a good heart. There are only 3 things that she loves above all else: Her Job, Muffins, and her Princesses.

Always a bit gullible... when Rainbow Dash tells her how she can earn Princess Celestia's love in turn, she jumps at the chance... with typical Derpy results.
