Derpy At Your Service

Inside Ponyville's Post Office, the elderly unicorn known as Bluecoat finishes filing through his papers, the sound of a ticking clock and the shuffling of bags can be heard. The local mail mare trots to his desk, carrying a bag of bits in her mouth before dropping them down on the surface.

"Anything else that needs to be done, sir?"

"Nope. Everything seems to covered for this morning, Derpy."

"A-Are you sure?"

The elderly pony proceeds to get up from his chair, reaching for his back and cracking it back in to place during the process.

"Ah! That's the spot!"

"C-Could I perhaps fetch you a glass of w-water or something?"

"No, no, I'm fine, thank you dear", he says with a slight nervousness to his tone. "I'm about to head out for some early lunch if you'd like to join me though?"

"Oh okay!", an excited grin on the mail mare's face as she flutters lightly in place. "Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go?", she asks.

"There is that nice restaurant that opened up towards the edge of town not too long ago that I do enjoy going to." He points outside the window to the right side of the office, towards the restaurant in question as several ponies are seen dining outside in the sun.

"That'd be nice! Soooo~ Let's go!~", she says in a singsong voice, dragging Bluecoat by the hoof with the sudden motion towards the door. "Argh! Dang-nab it!", yelled the elderly unicorn.

After heading outside, the two ponies proceed to walk through the town towards their destination. As Bluecoat continued to count his bag of bits, Derpy spotted the foalsitter, Dinky and another foal, coming down from a hot air balloon ride and started to head towards them to say hello. Unfortunately, they hadn't noticed her and she ended up bumping in to the post where the hot air balloon had been tied to by it's owner, Cherry Berry, thus causing the knot to come undone and the balloon to float away!

"Oh no! Um... sorry! I'll go get Mr. Balloon for you!", Derpy replied, making chase for the runaway hot air balloon. Cherry Berry looked to the scene and could only put a hoof to her face in frustration. That was the third time this week.
