Mail-Pony
Chapter one. The Library.
"Oh, c'mon Derpy, we're gonna be late!" Twilight Sparkle mumbles to herself as she paces up and down past her bookshelves, her hooves trotting more impatiently as the minutes tick by. "Who're you talking to, Twi?" Spike asks as he plods down the stairs, rubbing his eyes. He sits on the bottom step yawning excessively while Twilight paces her way round the library once more before answering. "Derpy's meant to be helping me with some errands for Princess Celestia, some of the folk's mail in Equestria has been getting mixed up recently and the Princess instructed me and Derpy to go and see the problem over there. But she's late!" she interrupts herself with a loud sigh "..again!" Spike lets out a mocking laugh as he stands up from the step, hopping off it and hardly making a sound as he hits the creaky wooden floor. "Well, what do you expect? It is Derpy." He carries on laughing to himself, but stops mid-laugh as some-pony crashes through a high window and plummets into a shelf on the opposite side of the room. Letters and books fly everywhere with some glass shattering else-where. Twilight and Spike are left under a mountain of mess! "w..woops" A wobbly voice sounds from under the pile before Derpy's head appears through some books and stray paper from Twilight's work desk. Her smile beaming across the room towards Twilight and Spike, who's faces do not resemble it. Derpy's smile slowly fades as she senses the anger in Twilights eyes, and she quickly flies out of the mound and starts pushing books and other stationary into piles around the floor of the library with her nose, occasionally bumping into other bookshelves and knocking more books onto recently cleaned patches. "No, no, no, Derpy It's fine! I'll clear it up later, we have to go!" Twilight calls, tugging her wing gently. The two ponies and Spike trot out of the Library, while Derpy continuously explains how sorry she is while Twilight hangs her head. "This is going to be a looong day.." she mumbles to Spike.
