{Yes, this is a My Little Pony fanfic. I haven't forgotten about the Harry Potter one, I'm just not sure of what I want to do with it. But I was struck with inspiration for this cute fluffy love story for the best pony ship ever. So without further ado, I give this short story. Also I do not own MLP: FiM, if I did, that would be freaking awesome.}

Trotting Along

Doctor Whooves was on his way to meet with his assistant. Normally this would just be something normal for him, but today he felt particularly nervous. His heart was pounding, there was a lump in his throat, his breath came out in short gasps and his thoughts were all over the place. Why was he so nervous? It was because of what day it was. Hearts and Hooves day.

All the ponies were happy and giddy, enjoying the company of a friend or their very special somepony. The Doctor had decided that today would be the day that he would confess his love for his assistant. But as he was trotting along, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to tell her because of how nervous he was.

….

Derpy Hooves was well aware of what day it was, and she was very excited about it. She had told herself that today would be the day. Derpy was going to tell the love of her life just how she felt. She was nervous, to say the least, but that was being overridden with excitement.

Derpy was just about to leave her tiny home when she decided to check herself in the mirror one last time. She had decided to do something special for the occasion and had gone to the salon earlier that day to make sure that she looked beautiful. Derpy's bright yellow mane was done up in a simple but elegant bun with loose curls, she had her tail curled in a similar way, she had her makeup done so that her yellow eyes seemed to sparkle and she had her coat brushed and shined to perfection.

After looking at herself in the mirror, Derpy was satisfied with her appearance. But her happiness dropped a little as her left eye started drifting upwards. She blinked a few times, careful not to mess up her makeup, and after a short while she was able to focus again. Derpy regained her composure, and walked out the door. She was originally going to just fly to where she was meeting her companion, but then she thought that she might mess up her hair, so instead she decided to walk. As Derpy was trotting along, her mind was set on her hopes of what the day would bring her.

…..

The Doctor sat waiting at the bridge where he was supposed to be meeting his assistant. He was beginning to worry because she was late.

"She's never late." He thought to himself quietly. "Where could she possibly be?" As if on cue, he heard a familiar voice humming a light tune coming from quite a ways behind him. He turned around, and almost fainted. There was his assistant, his Derpy, and she looked absolutely beautiful. He couldn't stop looking at her. She was still quite a ways away, but he could still see how much care she had put into her appearance. The Doctor was never one for poetry, bet he couldn't help but to compare her features in a very poetic way.

To The Doctor, Derpy's coat shone like silver, her mane was like perfect rays of sunlight that had been caught and curled so elegantly in a most beautiful up do bun, and even her tail was curled in quite an elegant fashion. But what stood out to him the most were her eyes. Even from a distance he could see just how they shone. Derpy's eyes seemed to scream confidence and happiness. He heard some whispers and realized that other stallions had seen her as well, and they were admiring her just as he was. He was about to say something to them, but he decided that it wouldn't be a good idea. Derpy would probably see him yelling at the stallions and think that she did something wrong. And besides, who wouldn't marvel at such a beauty.

As Derpy walked up to the Doctor, she sensed that something wrong with him. He had this weird look on his face and he kept glancing in different directions. The grey pegasus decided that she didn't want to walk the rest of the way. Derpy opened her wings and lightly fluttered the rest of the way to The Doctor. Derpy glided to a stop next to The Doctor and sort of nudged him in his right leg.

"Hey Doc, are you feeling alright?" Derpy asked. At that, The Doctor seemed to snap back to reality.

"Oh yes, umm I am completely fine. My word you look absolutely lovely today my dear." The Doctor exclaimed. Derpy blushed and looked away, but quickly looked back at The Doctor.

"Thanks Doc. So what are we doing today?"

"Oh yes. I was wondering if you would like to join me in a trip to Sugarcube Corner for some delicious muffins."

"I WOULD LOVE TO! I- I mean, sure. That sounds like a lot of fun." Derpy blushed again and brushed the ground in an embarrassed manner. The Doctor quietly laughed. Derpy's love for muffins had always amused him. They definitely made her happy. And so they went on their way. And as they were trotting along, they talked about what a good day the two of them were having.
