The Derpy I Know And Love

CHAPTER ONE

What The Storm Blew In.

‘The Weather Team sure did a great job with this storm’ thought Twilight Sparkle.

Indeed the storm was raging outside.  It hit right after Princess Celestia lowered the Sun and Princess Luna had raised the Moon.

Twilight got up and looked out the window in time to see a brilliant flash of lightning as the rain beat on the window.

“Not a night to be outside for pony or beast” Twilight said aloud to no pony in particular.  Spike was away in Canterlot one of those assignments given by Princess Celestia.  Being trained by such an organized pony as Twilight, Spike had developed some great clerical skills made him valuable to the Royal Library especially when it was time to reorganize.

The purple pony returned to her sofa and book, almost absentmindedly levitating another log on the fire while refilling her teacup simultaneously.  For the greater population of unicorns, this would be a stretch.  But for the most talented and therefore most powerful unicorn in Equestria, it was second nature.

Suddenly there was the sound of a knocking at the door.  Twilight got up and rushed to the door.

“Who in the hoof can that be!” she exclaimed.

She reached out with her magic and opened the door enough to peek out as she approached.

There standing, dripping wet and shivering, was a familiar blue-gray pegasus pony mare with a blond mane and tail and unmistakable crossed golden eyes.  Twilight could not remember  her ever coming to the library even during regular hours.

“Derpy!  Get in here before you catch your death of cold!”

“Thank you, Miss Sparkle,” she said shivering and entering the room.  Twi closed the door behind her.

“I apologize for the late hour, but I was not sure if I should have come at all.”

Twilight had never had any close contact with Derpy, she had seen her around and noted the eyes before but had never been in a face to face conversation with her.  Rainbow Dash had spoken of her before but never very highly.  Always as some kind of scatterbrained klutz, short attention span and perhaps a little mentally deficient.  Now with her here in Twilight’s front room, reserved almost as much as Fluttershy had been on their first encounter, speaking very politely if not formal.  It was hard to reconcile this pony with the pony Rainbow spoke of.

Twilight summoned some towels and with her magic, briskly dried off the forlorn looking mare before her.

“Thank you Miss Sparkle,” she said barely looking up.

“Please! Call me Twilight,” said Twi, “I take it that you are not delivering any mail at this hour, are you here as part of the Weather Team?”

“Neither, Miss Spar... I mean Twilight.” Stammered Derpy.  “I am in need of somepony to talk to.  Rainbow Dash said you were the smartest pony she knew.  And I could really use an intelligent pony to talk to.”

Twilight was intrigued and mystified.  It was nice that Rainbow Dash would recommend her so highly.  But what could this pony need that made her come out on such a nasty night.

“I was just having some tea, would you like a cup.  It will help warm you.”

“Oh yes.  That would be lovely.” Said Derpy finally looking up and giving a week smile.

Twilight motioned to the sofa.  Derpy sat down on one end while Twi, fetched another teacup, more water and a canister with her prized tea blend.  Derpy saw the book Twilight was reading and looked closer.  Holding a hoof over one eye, Derpy read the title.  Twilight walked back in and was not sure what to make of Derpy’s actions.

“Magic and Science, the Balance of the Universe”  Derpy read aloud, then looking at Twilight as she came back in with the tea (her hoof still over one eye),

“I thought it was a good primer, but a little biased on the magic side.  Probably due to it being written by a unicorn.”

Twilight dropped the tray in shock, but caught it with her magic before it hit.

“You have read Star Swirl the Bearded?” She asked in disbelief.

“Oh yes, when you are raising two beautiful  unicorns, you need to know these things to help them in school,” said Derpy matter-of-factly.

Twilight levitated a fresh cup of tea to her guest.  Derpy politely sipped, her eyes went wide.

“Hibiscus and juniper!”  Exclaimed Derpy, “with a touch of wormwood to add the right bite.  I would know a Zecora blend anywhere.  I don’t get enough time to get my own from her as much as I would like.  But it is such a joy to sit and talk with Miss Zecora.  Her speech patterns are like music.  I don’t know how she keeps it up.”

Twilight sat on the couch near Derpy, sipping her own tea and trying to believe the pony sharing tea with her and the “screw-up” spoken so lowly of by Rainbow Dash, a pony she trusted the word of implicitly, were the same pony.  The look on Twilight’s face did not go unnoticed.

“I am sorry, have I said something wrong?”

“Heavens no!” replied Twi, “it is just your knowledge of ancient unicorn writing, herb lore, and forgive me, but your manner and demeanor are not what I was expecting, or at least what I was lead to believe.”

Derpy looked down, a shadow passed over her expression.

“That is why I am here”.

Twilight was intrigued, what did this pony expect from her?

“What can I do to help you, Derpy?” asked Twi.

“Bubbles.” She replied meekly.

“Beg pardon?”

“My name is Bubbles.  Everypony calls me that name or “Ditsy Do” because of my eyes, because I tend to be accident prone.” Said Bubbles, tears welling up in her eyes.

“You try going through life, holding down two jobs, raising two daughters alone, trying to fly or walk or even try to play chess while looking in two different directions!”

“I did not know,” said Twilight, reaching out her foreleg and putting it around her shoulder.

Twilight pulled her close.  Bubbles buried her face in Twilight’s chest sobbing uncontrollably.  Emotions for Twilight were not a strong suit, but her heart was melting for this distraught, misunderstood pony.  With her other foreleg she stroked Bubbles’ mane with her hoof.  It was very soft and soothing to the touch.  Without stopping her crying, Bubbles wrapped her wings around Twilight.  A new and not unpleasant experience.  Twilight was close to many pegasi,  some were closer to her than sisters.  But never once had any hug turned into this.  If Rainbow or Fluttershy were here, they would have explained just how deeply a sign of trust and perhaps affection this was.

“I’m sorry,” said Bubbles retracting her wings, setting up and wiping her eyes.  Twilight left her leg around her shoulder.  Bubbles worked up a little smile and looked into Twilight’s eyes.  At this close range, Bubbles visual accommodation forced her eyes into an almost normal gaze.

‘Her eyes are so pretty like this,’ thought Twilight.  Something was moving in her she did not understand.

“I told Rainbow Dash that I needed somepony to talk to about my life.  You can only take it so far before the pain has to come out.  At first Rainbow Dash almost ignored me, then she saw that I was in earnest.”

‘Fluttershy is a good listener’ said Rainbow Dash.

‘Fluttershy is a very nice pony, but I need somepony with perhaps a little more knowledge.  Especially magic.’

At that Rainbow Dash said 'Twilight Sparkle!  She is the smartest pony I know.’

I told her that I did not want to bother a pony as important as you, and that there could be complications, but she insisted that you were the right pony.”

‘Complications?’ thought Twi,

“I am sure that Rainbow and you are exaggerating.” Said Twilight.

“What?” replied Bubbles. “You are a lovely pony that everypony loves.”

‘Lovely pony?’ Thought Twilight.

“You have an important job here.  You are apprentice to Princess Celestia.  Since the time you have moved here you and your friends have saved Equestria twice.  No three times, if you count what happened at The Royal Wedding. You vanquished an Ursa Minor all on your own.  You are not royalty, but even Princess Luna deferred to you this last Nightmare Night.  If you are not an important pony, then I don’t know who would be.”

Twilight blushed, she was never a pony to be comfortable with somepony ‘singing her praises’.

“How can I help?”

“Let me start with I was not always this way.  I grew up in Canterlot, strange for a pegasus, I know.  And it was there I met one of the most wonderful unicorns ever.  Shooting Star was older than me, he had been married before and had a 10 year old daughter.  She never really knew her mother and was so happy to have a mother figure.  You probably know Sparkler,”  Bubbles saw a look on Twilight’s face showing she did not.

“I’m sorry, that is what we call her.  Her real name is Amethyst Star.”

“I know Amethyst,” responded happily, “She is a part time nanny to many ponies here in Ponyville and a real sweet pony to talk to.  She checks out books all the time for the foals she watches.”  Bubbles smiled to hear Twilight praise her daughter like that.

“As I was saying, Shooting Star was several years older than myself.  In fact I was not a lot older than Sparkler, not quite 18.  Shooting Star’s first wife, Ivy, had died of Pony Pox when Sparkler was very young.  We met while I was interning at the Canterlot Institute of Science.”

“Wait!” interrupted Twi, “He was the Shooting Star!  His work on the understanding of the Science of Magic is required reading at Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns!”

Twilight stopped, the color drained from her cheeks.

“The explosion,” Twi whispered, as the sorrow returned to Bubbles face.  “there was only one survivor, and....that....was....”

“Me.”

“Shooting Star was convinced that he had found the key to make magic through science.  He thought it would be a boon to all of ponykind, earth ponies not having to manipulate everything with their mouth or hooves. Pegasi not having to land somewhere in total black.  Able to do little things that most unicorns take for granted.   Not like potions and incantations, but with chemicals and equipment, real science.  I had went to the restroom and was returning to the lab when It happened.”  Bubbles stopped to take a breath.  Twilight lowered her leg and took Bubbles hoof.  Bubbles looked at Twi and gave a thankful smile.

“I was in school when that happened, I was a filly, but I remember.”  Said Twi, “but I never learned what happened.”

“As I said, Shooting Star was on the verge of success, or so they thought.  They were going to try a small levitation spell figuring it would be a good start.  Nothing to flashy, something every unicorn is taught from the time they were little.  I had just entered the door, Shooting Star looked over at me and smiled his ‘I know I’m right’ smile.  He activated the switch and then, and then............”

“It’s ok,” said Twilight, “you don’t....”

“Yes I do, I have never spoke of this to anypony.  I need to get this out!

There was a glow, a book rose off the table.  There were high hoofs all around.”  Bubbles breathed hard several times tears streaming from her eyes. “Then came the flash!  It happened so fast, but it all was slow motion, of the five of us working on the project, I was the only pony not a unicorn.  Apparently that saved me.  The flash struck out like lightning at each unicorn’s horn.  It struck me between the eyes.  The look of terror and pain in the other’s faces still wakes me screaming in the night.”

She looked into Twilight’s eyes.  Twilight saw a level of terror that she herself hoped she would never have to face.

“He and the others WERE the explosion!  Not the equipment, not the chemicals, not the spell.  It was as if all their bodies were converted into pure energy.  The shock slammed me through the wall,  When I woke up, it was a month later.  I was in the ICU of the Magic Hospital in Canterlot Castle.  Sparkler was holding my hoof, like you are doing now.  I opened my eyes, she smiled at me then she looked and me with an odd look.

‘Mom!’  She screamed.

She ran to the door and yelled for a doctor.  I was only beginning to notice that I was having trouble focusing on objects more that a leg’s length.  The doctor came galloping into the room and skid to a stop when she saw me.

‘How are you feeling?’ asked the doctor.

I told them that I was having trouble seeing clearly.  Sparkler brought me a mirror.   That was the first time I saw these eyes.

They took me for some tests and could not find anything they could do to fix it, the release of magic is what did it.  My head was where the brunt of the force was absorbed.  A good thing too, for the next thing the doctor said was an even bigger shock, but not as unpleasant.

‘We have found that except for your eyes everything else is fine with you.  It is amazing that the foal survived such a shock.’

Foal? Both Sparkler and I said at the same time.  I did not know and Shooting Star never knew.  I was in the hospital about another month.  Mostly trying to relearn how to walk, how to fly, how to feed myself and do the things I needed to do.  When I went home, Sparkler and I just could not feel comfortable in our house without Shooting Star.  So we decided to move somewhere away from Canterlot, so we moved to Ponyville.  Princess Celestia, who I later found out had come by to check on me several times, funded the move and got me a job with the Equestria Postal Service, things were and are tight so I also got a job with the Weather Team.”

“That was 8 years ago.  We settled down here, I delivered my foal, she is my sweet little Muffin!  Her name is Dinky.”

“I know Dinky, she goes to school with my friends’ sisters.”

“Yes, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, I think Dinky wishes she could join in with them, she talks about them all the time.  But she knows that I need all the help I can get at home.  I now share rooms with Carrot Top, as we call her, Golden Harvest is her name.  It can get crowded, Carrot Top has a coltfriend over from time to time so I sleep with Muffin.  Sparkler usually sleeps at a clients or at a friend’s.”

Bubbles breathed deeply several times, it had been a drain on her opening up this much hurt for the first time.  And somehow by being at the school where the accident claimed her husband, made Twilight feel a small connection with the mare she was now sitting next to holding hoofs.

“Bubbles,” started Twilight, “I am so honored that you chose to open up to me.”

Bubbles gave Twilight an odd look.

“There was another thing, the reason I was reluctant to come to you.  You are a pony as smart as my Shooting Star was.  As I said you are well respected and I was not sure how you would take it.”

Twilight sat back a bit, not sure what to think.

“What do you mean?”

Twilight’s answer came in a most unexpected way.  Bubbles had looked again in Twilight’s eyes.  Twilight saw something she could not identify.  Not until what happened next.  Bubbles leaned in and kissed Twilight, it was a kiss that Twilight had never experienced before.  Both Bubbles and Twilight’s forelegs wrapped  the other.

Twilight did not have any experience with kissing, other than the Mother, Father, Brother kind.  She had read books on the subject, both factual and erotic.  The whole idea had disgusted her, somepony’s tongue in your mouth, their saliva, it did not sound very sanitary.

But now that did not even enter her mind.  The kiss sent a very pleasant shock through her that she had never felt before.  She felt a thrill deep in her belly.

It took her breath away.

Was this right?  Bubbles is a mare!  She had fought with this in her mind when she was told that Bon-Bon and Lyra Heartstrings were getting married.  Did it really matter?  Twilight broke the kiss, but did not back off.

“I am so sorry!” said Bubbles trying to pull away, but Twilight  held her close.

“Don’t be,” said Twilight.  “I have never kissed anypony before.  I never put much thought on the idea.  With stallion or mare.  And I don’t think that matters now.  I just don’t want it to be the moment, the vulnerability from opening up so much hurt.”

“It is the moment, but the moment opened up an opportunity that may have never come again.” Answered Bubbles, “but if you would rather just play chess, or you just want me to leave, Muffin is being watched by Sparkler......”

Bubbles did not get to finish the statement, she was taught not to talk with her mouth full.  And right now it was full of Twilight’s tongue.  Bubbles once again wrapped her wings around Twilight.  There was a purple glow from Twi’s horn.  Bubbles heard the door bolt, the curtains were drawn.  The lights and fire went out.  The next thing was something she had never experienced before, not even with Shooting Star.  The purple aura  surrounded them and all of the sudden, she was not on Twilight’s couch and not in the same room.  She was sitting on a bed in an upper room.  More cozy with dim lights and a small fire going.  No more questions needed to be asked.  Bubbles had noted Twilight’s inexperience so she took the lead and gently lowered Twilight to her back.  Then retracting her wings, Bubbles kissed Twilight for a while, then she started to move the kiss down Twilight’s cheek, neck, chest.  Bubbles paused at Twilight’s navel licking and kissing deeply.  Twilight moaned without even knowing why.  Twilight had never been so aroused before.  Her groin felt warm and wet, she was almost afraid that she had peed herself.  Bubbles worked down lower to just between her hind legs.  Twilight had never given much thought to her nipples, but now with Bubbles tongue on them and her genitally sucking them, it was all she could do to not go crazy.   Bubbles repositioned herself on the bed, parallel to Twilight with her head between Twi’s legs and her back knees by Twilight’s head.  Her soft tail twitched across Twi’s face.  Bubbles proceeded to move down between Twilight’s hind legs, Twilight let them naturally fall away.  Twi could feel Bubbles hot breath on her marehood.  There was a kiss on the sensitive lips then what happened next, Twilight was expecting from her books, but the actual feeling made her hips jump.  Bubbles inserted her warm tongue into Twilight.  Never had she ever expected to feel pleasure this way.  Bubbles licked in and out around and back in.  She zeroed in on Twilight’s clit.  It was like electricity.  Twilight fought to remember some of the techniques and instructions she had read.

“Move over some, please.”  Twilight whispered.

Twilight reached out to Bubbles hips and moved her over so that her partner was straddling her head.

Bubbles lowered herself to within Twilight’s reach.  Twilight never thought she would be in this position, ever.  But the sight of Bubbles marehood right in front of her nose, the warmth, the smell, it was not what she expected.  Instead of being revolted, it was driving her wild.  Twilight reached out her hoofs to Bubbles hips and guided her down the last couple of inches.

Uncertain, of herself she first tried kissing it, then with fear and trepidation, she inserted her tongue.  She felt the muscles in Bubbles hips tighten.  Twilight started exploring Bubbles marehood.  Her tongue feeling out every part.  Then she focused on the little bump that Bubbles was working on, on her own marehood.  Twilight took the clit between her lips and genitally sucked on while stimulating it with her tongue.  A moan escaped from Bubbles, the vibration of the sound helped to stimulate her even more.  The act of pleasuring this mare was as exciting as being pleasured.  They were at this for a time when Twilight felt something growing in her, it spread from the tips of her back hoofs to the point of her horn.   She felt Bubbles tighten her mussels, her hips stopped grinding and started to almost vibrate.  Bubbles let out a shriek but kept at Twilight.  Twilight returned the favor.  It was the most intense thing that ever happened.  Not even releasing the power of the Elements of Harmony was this powerful.   Bubbles rolled off and collapsed.  Both mares were breathing hard.  Twilight had never felt an orgasm before.  She could hardly catch her breath.  Bubbles turned around and held Twilight close.  They kissed deeply and long.

“Bubbles, I never, I never...”

“Then I am so honored to be your first.”

“Is this it?  I don’t know anything anymore.  I just want to go on forever.”

“Maybe not forever, but we still have the night.”  Said Bubbles between kisses.  “I want you to know that I have not been with anypony since Shooting Star.  I was always afraid that all I would do is think of him and not who I was with.”

“Did you?”

“Not once,” said Bubbles between kisses.

They continued kissing then Bubbles broke away.  Twilight looked confused.  Bubbles smiled and slid down the bed.  She got between Twi’s legs pulled one leg beneath her and put her opposite leg over Twilight.  Twilight remember this position from a particularly erotic book and knew what to do.  Twilight scooted in toward Bubbles.  Their marehoods touched, it was so warm, wet and soft.  It did not take any instructions for Twilight to know what to do.  Her hips started grinding against Bubbles on their own and Bubbles was doing the same.  On into the night they made love.  Bubbles had given Twi her first orgasm, then the second, then the third.....

The storm outside, the fire in the fireplace, the world itself did not exist.  Only herself and the beautiful mare she was sharing herself with.
