Adventures of Dr. Whooves: Dr. Whooves Meets Derpy

A/N: (Sunrise Blossom and Derpy help Dede42 into the writers studio and lie her down on the couch, where Sunrise Blossom puts a cold compress on Dede42's face.)

Sunrise Blossom: Hey, guys, so Dede42 did get off work early, but she also got up early to help her mom take her sister to an appointment, so she's going to lie down for a bit while Derpy and I post the next chapter.

Derpy: (waves at the camera) Hi!

Dede42: (mumbles) Applesauce…

Sunrise Blossom: (sighs) Yeah, she's gonna be out of it for a while.

Derpy: (holds up a tray of chocolate muffins) Muffins?

Sunrise Blossom: Yes please.

Dede42: (sits up suddenly) Daleks! (She falls back on the couch and passes out.)

(The two ponies stare at her for a long moment and then they both shook their heads, wondering why humans are so weird.)

Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE: DERPY MEETS DR. HOOVES

It'd been months since Dr. Hooves had changed into his new look, which included a bowtie that he considered cool, but he wasn't doing that much traveling like he'd promised his granddaughter. Instead, he was focused on keeping the clocks running properly and focusing on his science. He'd only taught a few ponies how to be time keepers, but he wasn't interested in having any assistants anymore, and he preferred to do his work on his own.

One Saturday morning, Dr. Hooves was finishing fixing the clock at the train station, so that it was showing the correct time just as the train arrived. Satisfied with his work, he got off the roof of the building, got his payment from the conductor, and he started back through the town to stop by the Apothecary to pick up some supplies he needed for his scientific work.

'It's a nice day for the market,' Dr. Hooves thought, carrying supplies in his saddlebags and was thinking of stopping by a café for some food to enjoy the sunlight when he suddenly found his way blocked by a certain yellow filly.

"You, sir, care t' buy some apples?" she asked eagerly.

Dr. Hooves was taken aback by this and shook his head. "No thanks," he said politely and he turned to go, blinking when Apple Bloom suddenly blocked his way again.

"Why not?" Apple Bloom inquired.

"I have plenty at home," Dr. Hooves assured her, trying to get away from her, but the filly wasn't letting him leave. 'What is it with this filly?'

"Are you sure?" Apple Bloom questioned.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure I…" Dr. Hooves began.

"You're pretty sure, but you're not absolutely positively completely super-duper sure, are you?" asked the filly, still keeping him from leaving.

Dr. Hooves began to panic. "Y…ah… If I buy some apples, will you please leave me alone?" he pleaded.

Apple Bloom cheered with delight. "All right!"

Dr. Hooves immediately threw some bits into the pocket of Applejack's apron, snatched up a bag of apples, and he fled, ignoring Applejack when she called out after him.

"You forgot your change!"

Dr. Hooves ran from the market, no longer interested in having lunch, and duck into an alleyway, panting. 'What a very annoying filly,' he thought sourly once he caught his breath, and he straightened his bowtie after putting the bag of apples into his saddlebags. Although he'd spent bits he hadn't intended, he decided that it was worth having extra apples around thanks to one of his experiments.

He exited the alleyway and started for his home-

BLAM!

Dr. Hooves was sprawled on the ground, seeing stars dancing around his head as a bluish gray pegasus with pale yellow hair, yellow cross-eyes, and a stream of bubbles as her cutie mark sat up next to him.

"Oh! I am so sorry!" Derpy gasped, moving to gather up the items that'd fallen out of saddlebags while Dr. Hooves also sat up, rubbing his sore head with one off. "I didn't mean to hit you!"

"It's quite all right, young lady," Dr. Hooves assured her, shaking away the dizziness, and helped her put the last of his items into his bags. "Thank you," he added, putting his bags back on his back, and he resumed heading back to his home.

Derpy, instead of going back to what she'd been doing, hurried after him for some reason that she didn't know why. "Hey! I'm Derpy!"

"A pleasure to meet you, Derpy," said Dr. Hooves. "I am Dr. Hooves, and I have a lot to do today." He increased his speed in order to get away from the pegasus.

"Oh, of course, Doc," said Derpy, still following him by flapping her wings to keep up. "I was just wondering if you need any help."

'Sweet Celestia give me strength!' Dr. Hooves thought, stopping suddenly so that she almost ran into him, and he faced her. "Please don't call me, 'Doc'," he requested. "And I don't need any help with what I have to do today, but thank you for asking, Miss Derpy. Now if you'll excuse me." He gave her one of the apples and hurried off.

Derpy blinked, took a bite of the apple, and then she took to the air to get back to what she was suppose to be doing. 'Maybe I'll go visit him after I'm done…providing I can remember what I'm suppose to be doing,' she thought, finishing the apple and dropping the core into a trash bin before flying into the sky once again. 'Oh well, I'll probably remember whatever it is I'm suppose to when I get to where I need to be.'

A/N: So, what are the odds of Dr. Hooves meeting Derpy? R&R everyone!
