The attitude of everypony towards Derpy changes once Twilight tries a new and polemic spell on her.

Celestia's faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, develops a new spell that could help to increase the cognitive capacities of any conscious living being and after try it on different test's subjects, including a lab rat named Algamenon with positive results, she finds herself ready to try it now on an equine being.

Derpy has always been bubbly and happy in attitude, but her carefree personality has constantly caused concern between her friends and co-workers, and seems to be the perfect candidate around for Twilight's new experiment.

During the treatment, Twilight request Derpy with daily notes containing her thoughts and her new found vision about the world, but confronts the discussion about if what she did was ethical, or not.

In the other hoof, Derpy's new concentration as focus of mind, has changed the inner perspective of her world, altering not only to her but also to everypony around the new delivery mare, pushing away old friendships, and igniting new romantic interests; but soon realizing, that probably her only unconditional friend, in her new deviant state, is the lab rat named Algamenon.

my boss still happy, and I guess I have more clients now cuz I see more ponies every day now, becaus before I c'd somethimes yes, and sometimes no, but nowialways ~~i~~ do,
and thei are hapie when thy c me to me

DAY21:
Tiwilight sais someting about a new game with algamenon, it was something about open a dor, and exit various rooms and I didnt get it too well, and she entered for me and taked me out, & I was sad cuz you dont win muffins if she rescues you with algamenon in her shoulder, I didnt get the game so I just got 1 muffin and the part that algamenon doesnt eat

DAY22:
today I readed a book about a filly that goes to the stars and shes shes stuck in the moon, and I readed it when I was a filly but I didnt remembered the ending, but I remember now and in the end she returns home with her family an friends and I didnt remembered the end, but I remembered my famili and I dont have family now, but I have the end and im feeling sad cuz I dont remember what happened to my famili but now I know what happened to the fillie in the book and I wasnt her

DAY23:
algamenon doesnt have a cutie mark, and Tiwilight asked me how I got mine and I said I was bubbling bubbles one day and she was like = hooo and I told her we could bubble blubbles togeter but she was like = lets play the maze doors again and algamenon woned me again and I was sad again and his cutie mark should be a door or a maze, or me sad with half of muffin or something like that.

DAY24:
today someponie asked me a direction and I was going to tell him pinkie pie cuz she know everypony but I knew what was that direction, and I sayd, one blok there, and then other, and other, and other, 4 in total, and then to the righft one, and two and I think he pictured out cuz he was happy and
or ponies are really happy
or I did a good job cuz I knowed the place

it's a purple house with a yellow fence, but I didnt tell him cuz he lefted, im thingking that just rite nuw
but it was like play tiwilights game doors

DAY25:
I WONED THE DOORS GAME MAZE

i was like =1 to left > 1 to right = and im where I was

it was amazing
by the way that doors box seemed smaller in the outside
algamenon has a littler maze, I saw him running today cuz I won
u-hu!
yes
i won, I won, I have a wole hour here already but I dont care cuz I won

DAY26:
Twilight toughtched me how to write today, she said I was looking in another direction before but I was like = of course, I have two eyes, but she sais both doing the same is beter so I was like = oki loki and I dunno wy but reading is slower now, and I dont really like to read so im feling ~~disapointed ed-ing~~ disapointied.

DAY27:
yesterday I was with my friend raimbown Dash, and the sun was shiny and stuff, and we where in a cloud, and she was like 'wow derpy, you look great'
and I was 'wow you too but you dont wanna win with a pair less of wings' and she was like 'what the hay'
but anyways, and we rested in a cloud, and I dunno why other ponies dont rest more often in clouds, but anyways

anyway, I guess thats all

i writetoofast~~er~~ now
i played with algamenon to the dors again, its easy if you go slow and think where you are inside your mind, cuz if you run away you get lost and algamenon wins and then he enters with ~~thiwilite~~ Twilight, and rescues you, and thats embarasing.
my boss was happy again, he gave me something important to do, and I was like 'ok' but then he was like 'don't mess around' and I didn't cuz he was happy when I came back, last time something important showed up a lot of stuff falled over twilights head and I said today earlies that I was sorry, and she said 'its ok' and we played the doors game and I won
half an hour, ill take the rest to eat my muffins I guess, cuz I won a lot now

DAT28:
Twilight told me that I was smarter, that the thing has taken efect slowler of what she tought, her blue thing, and I was a little scared cuz I dont want to be smarter that her, cuz if something comes to the town I guess the smart ponies taste better and
i dunno, maybe the smart ponies have to take care and I dont wanna be in chanrge
i dunno, yesterday I was watching what I had writen and I saw a lot of things from before and im writeing better now

Letters dont move anymore, before they told me two thing diferent and I didnt know what was right so I keeped writeing but its like the doors maze, if you dont forget where you are, you are ok and not lost, so yeah, im writting better, bad thing I dont like to write,

Twilight sais that I can write too whenever I want and not everyday, but im kinda used cuz I have muffins when writting and I like muffins, I always have had, mommy baked muffins when I was young and I like the smell of them
i wonder where is my mommy by the way, she was baking before, but that was alot before than before, so I dont really remember, I tinked that I was going to know if I read the filli in the stars story again but I didnt, and twilight dun know, and algamenon maybe knowns but he doesnt known how to talk, I dunno how hes so smart, twilight told me she did before what shes doing with me, but algamenon cant write either, so I dunno what she means

Day 31:
Let me think, well, me and algamenon have been playing a new game for 2 days, its about select a light, and then select the other light, and you win with that until one of the other loses

it's easy really, but algamenon won the first day, and then I won, and today he won again, but im catching a tryk, depending in wich light he preses one of mine is gona lite up, but always the same, I just have to learn the pattern I guess, I hope twilight doesn't chanche it.

im not writing everyday, which makes ME happy, let me think, boss is happy, twilight is happy, rainbow dash is ok, spike is happy too, algamenon seems to be happy just with some piece of muffin and his ~~corcleding~~ circling thing to run.
the silly rat.
and I happy
i had writed that

deliver stuff is fun, ponies are happy when you deliver something, I can't usually take something as reward, but I can take their muffins if they are even holding one and can't recieve their shipping.

a brown stalion was like that the other time, and I was thingking brown is a nice collor, and yeah, I have seen him before and I dont know his name, but I like his mane, like mine but all the way around diferent, and brown, he has an hourglass cutie mark, I could ask his name the next time I see him around
or I could read his envelopes, that could be a good solution.
i dunt remember if I ate his muffin

Twilight is making me most smart ~~whit~~ With her magik, she told me, I dunno how she can sai im smarter, but I hope she stops before get too smart cuz then im gonna be the one sending letters to the princess and shes going to deliver stuff to ponies, that actually could be fun, I whish I had my own spike, or be a spike all by myself, and deliver stuff with fire, but then I couldnt fly and thats sounds boring, so I better dont.

Rainbow Dash isnt very happy now, she was like "cheer me up, im the best" and I was like "no way" so she flied around, and I said I could do the same, and she said "go on!" and I did, and she was like "you know = facehoof

and she said that wasn't faster, and I said im not faster, I just did the same, and she doblefacehoofed herself, and I dont know whats the point, I was like "Rainbow, please" I hope twilight dont get the same with this smartness thing cuz I can do everiething she does, except the unicorn stuff, so I dont really get the point of all of this.

but I like to play with algamenon.
and the muffins.

Derpy's diary: Voluntary entries

Day 34:
very well then, Twilight has told me i've writting too little in the diary and i told her that i was plain fine, but the true is that i have been talking with this stallion, turns out his name is Time Turner, nice name, my friends told me that he looks a lot like from the bunch but i don't care.
his nice

Day 38:
Twilight keeps making me glow with her horn, its a funny sensation, and i'm helping her with her experiment, and she sais she's hellping me, but she hasnt thaught me writte lately, but i keep playing with algamenon and i usually win, until i wanna go easy with him, i can see he tries a lot harder now, but doesn't go mad when he loses because i always share a bit of my muffin with him when i win ^_^

Day 40:
Twilight is writing a diary too, i saw her hornwriting in it and she was a little scared, but i said "don't worry, im not reading your diary" and, i guess she's reading mine, but i don't write anything here that I don't talk with her, so i guess it's fine.
Maybe i start my own personal diary at home since im learning to write a lot better, Twilight is a lot useful after all she writes a lot of letter and has a lot of books, i wish my teacher back in school had been that nice as twilight has been with me.

Day 41:
Yesterday I saw my friends Rainbow Dash and Cloud Kicker after helping Tilight, they were hanging out near a cloud so i went there too rest with them and they all gretted me "Watch out Derpy!" thats how they nick named me. Ponies think that we pegasi are lazy but actually fly is tiring, and we are light but not that much, so when i placed myself in the cloud it droped a thunder and I scared myself a little with it, but then they all came near, turns out they wherent chosing a cloud to rest, that cloud had a thunder inside and they where trying to get rid of it.

so they all gretted me and they said i'm good for thunders, and yeah, i must be because a lot of them said it, i have a lot of friends between the wheather pegasi because the other delivery ponies take another delivery routes and we don't hang a lot toghtether as they do.

Day 43:
Today Twilight did what i was afraid of, she changed the paterns in the lights game, so algamenon actualli did won some games, even when i was trying really hard, but i won more games than he did, and we ended eating muffins, Twilight doesn't seems to like muffins a lot but she likes to writte in her diary a lot. she does everyday, and since i don't need to spend a whole hour here, i've been watching her writing in her diary.

Day 47:
Today Twilight asked me if I liked the name ~~Depty~~ Derpy Hooves, and sure i like it, it's the friendly name many other ponies call me by, and they all know its me. I even drew hooves before learn to write this better and they all knew it was me

you see? I am really a good drawer,
Algamenon can't draw this good and twilight likes to watch my draws but doesn't draw back anything for me. and she want's me smarter, i keep saying that smarter ponies are boring.

Day 51:
Today Twilight helped me to write a letter, it goes:
Dear princess mr mrs or whatever Time Turner.
and it keeps like that for a while

And i know i'm the mailmare, but i wanted to invite out this colt in a date, but Twilight said I shouldn't ask in a letter, so it's about another completly diferent thing, it's about how the mailmare wanted to invite him to a day out in a letter but a friend told her about ask him directly, so im gonna ask him tomorrow, or tomorrow after deliver the letter better.

and Twilight helped me to write my name, Ditzy Doo, I have a nice name, kind of adventurous, is curious but actually I didn't know how to write my name, i used to draw my eyes and my hooves and ponies always knew it was me before.

And Twilight keeps tickling me with her magic, and i whish i had magic to tickling her back, but i don't so i use my hooves on her and she laughs, but she doesn't seems to laugh that much. She told me her exam in near and that has a lot of results to study, but i told her to study a spell instead, and she laughed with that, I hope her teachers like to laugh too because all she does the whole day is write in her dairy, and watch Algamenon and me play.

Day 54:
MY DATE WAS WONDEFULL!!
and thats all i wanna say ^_^
He's a real gentlecolt and really nice, I don't even care if he has a pegasus twin that doesn't even live in Ponyville, so why should I?
Algamenon won a lot of games, I don't really care either.
today.
Tomorrow i'll play more with him.

Today I'm gonna see him again, to Time Turner, not Agamenon, he's here in his cage, I guess he likes when I'm around because he goes out to play, and he likes to watch me write, just as I like to watch Twilight write, and he wonders what I'm writing, just as I wonder about Twilight.
I wonder now if i can understand what twilight is writing, Agamenon doesn't seems to understand what i'm writing at all.
I guess i can tell him everything about my date and he won't tell anypony.

I hope Twilight let me finish already, i wanna finish up early today.

Day 59:
Today my boss promoted me in my job, I don’t know why, but it comes with a better pay and a new brand messenger bag, just when I was thinking it was a little boring, I had been thinking actually to change into the weather control team, I have some friends there, we mail ponies don’t really dealt a lot with no other mail ponies, so I have more friends actually working for the weather division.
Dash is calling me Ditzy now, I wonder if she’s mad to me.

Time Turner and I kept dating, but that's private.

Algamenon keep wining some games, but just because twilight keeps adding more lights and changing the patterns of them, and Algamenon know it, so he’s cheating, little muffins dealer.

Twilight told me she wants me to accompany her to her next exam, I don’t really know if I can be of any help, but I accepted of course.

I do not know what else can I write, and I have lot of spare time from an hour.

I took Algamenon out of his cage for a bit to play, if your reading this, Twilight. Don't get mad at me please, he's safe and sound now inside.

Day 66:

Twilight asked me to write a little about my relationship with Time Turner. We've been dating for a while. Yesterday he and I where at Sugarcube Corner and Twilight got there with Spike and Pinky Pie. And I blushed a bit when she found me out there because I haven’t told her lately about our dates.

So today I’m supposed to write a little about him, and it’s a little shameful but Twilight is my friend so it’s ok.

Time Turner is some kind of doctor, but not a health doctor, still he’s very well read and is very smart, reminds me of Twilight sometimes. At the start I didn’t care, he says I’m cute and nice, and even now I’m blushing for that, but I’ve been nervous about this lately. He’s also from a wealthy family from Canterlot, and my parents, well...
They are gone... I don’t want to write about that.

Day 68:

Twilight says that write something about my parents here could help me.

I remember when I was young, and my daddy and I used to fly from cloud to cloud pretending to be playing hide and seek. But I always knew where he was hiding because he wasn’t very good playing that, but he was very good finding me.

Then mommy called us for dinner, and I used the different colors of the flowers from a field near to aim my landing near our home.

When I used our roof as landing place I used to end near Ponyville. And for any different reason if I used Ponyville to aim my landing, I ended in a completely different place at all, so I used the color of the flower below, and tried to land softly to avoid any harm to the flower.

Daddy used to taking me down before that, when I was even littler, and I could ride amid his wings, I’m just recalling that.

And one day they just weren’t there anymore. I was worried at the beginning, and they I forgot.

Day 71:

Yesterday I took the admission test for the Weather Control Team. I’ve been talking with Time Turner and he wants our relationship to be more serious. And he didn’t ask it; but I don’t think a mailmare could be a good couple for a stallion like him in a serious relationship. After all he’s a Doctor ~~for Celestia’s mane.~~

I haven’t been playing a lot with Algamenon lately, sometimes I feel sorry for the poor little thing, Twilight doesn't seems to play a lot with him, and that creepy owl of hers keeps waking up to watch the little rat every time he's out of his cage, I've told Spike to take good care of him.

Day 74:

I PASSED MY TEST EXAM!!

I’m so excited, now I can hang out with my pegasi friends while I’m at work, they said my coat as an inner cloak of lesser fur, and they need somepony like me because it makes me resilient to electrical discharges, and it’s more of quality than a talent, but still. I’ll be assigned to a pegasi weather team very soon.

Today I resigned from my job, and I was expecting some tears and hug everypony in there before leave, but just my boss told me it was a shame after the good job I was doing lately, and I just, went out.

I was a little sad and I shed some tears, but the sky was clear, and the next time I see to it maybe I would have helped it to look like that.

Day 76:
FLY WITH THE PEGASI WHEATER TEAM IS GREAT!!
I could fly there higher of what I have flied before, so high your wings barely scrape the air and you can watch the afternoon at the distance. IT’SsoWONDERFUL!!!
No doubt why the weather pegasi are always cheerful around. Some of them ~~haven’t~~ ~~even’t~~ don't even have touched the ground before! And the light

The light is wonderful up there.

Day 77:
Last night Time Turner kissed me,
And it was my first kiss ever
He told me he loves me
And I didn’t knew, how could I overlook that? I mean, he’s hoofsome, and has taught me about constellations, and how to sync a clock with the sun or stars, some good stories from books.

Twilight says the hour is over; it has been a long time since the last time she said the hour had finished.

Think about time is really time consuming.

Day78:
I’ve been thinking about Time Turner. And yeah, I love him, why not; he loves me.
I accepted to be his fillyfriend, I guess our relationship is serious now.
I hope not to ruin everything by doing something wrong.

He’s the pony responsible for keeping Ponyville's clocks in sync, sounds nice but I could go crazy doing that job, and I’m doing well in the weather team, it’s not as harsh as I believed.

Twilight, sorry for not telling you this face to face, but it’s a little shameful you know. Actually Algamenon knows more about my relationship of what I write here for you. It’s a shame that he can’t answer me back, but luckily he isn't writing a diary by his own

Day 83:
Yesterday I had a discussion with Rainbow Dash:
She was bragging about take off some clouds blown into the town from the Everfree forest, but they were quite black, electrically charged if you asked me.

But Rainbow, who has have been lately a little show off, didn’t wait for me, or my team, to take them away.

So in her “I can do it faster” attitude. She did of course the thing in which she is good at; Kick off the clouds, but detonating the inner charges.

I had warned her about the danger of that but she refused my advice.

She said she’s too fast to worry about that, but in the middle of the town any other pony in ground may have been harmed.

So we argued about possible consequences, I thought she was mad at me before for any reason, but when she called me again Derpy didn't sound very friendly, I didn't mean being called like that before but yesterday was a bad day.

In the end no pony was injured, and I guess Rainbow is right, she has the right to do whatever she wants, besides, for practical means, she’s my boss now.

Even so, I cannot help but feel my advice a little overlooked.

Day 86:
Twilight has been too busy lately to watch Algamenon and me playing. She stills playful with me but her exam is in four days, she said it’s going to take place here at the library, and some important ponies are coming that day, including, oh well, the ones you just told me.

All your friends are going to be here, including me of course as you requested.

Even I am a little nervous, I can feel butterflies in my tummy. I can’t imagine how you must feel. Even Algamenon has been a little edgy lately, you went out today again and didn’t watch our game, but I bet he is.

I wish I had a better way to help you than just being there that day.

Day 87
I Know you very busy right now, so Algamenon and I stopped out game to find out a better way to help you with your exam, just has you helped me with my weather exam.

I wonder if you diary can help me to find out; I’m going to take a tiny, little peck on it. I hope you don’t mind.

Day 89:
