He didn't care where he was going. He just had to get away. His head hurt and he didn't expect memories from the past to show up.
Need to lie down...
Note Pad realized he didn't even have a place to stay during his vacation. He didn't have any friends in Ponyville that could let him sleep anywhere.
Guess I'll stay at an inn or something...
"What does your diary even look like?" asked Derpy. The two were still at the cafe.
"It's green, with a white frame on the cover... no locks..." said Lyra. She slumped and hit her head on the table, keeping it there and groaning in frustration. Derpy spoke.
"Hey, come on. It could be worse. The diary could have like, no locks on it."
Lyra facehooved. "That's what I just... we're never going to find it..."
Derpy drank from her iced coffee, trying to come up with a plan. She saw Pinkie Pie rounding the corner and bouncing towards them.
"Hi Derpy! Hey Lyra!" she said happily.
"Hey Pinkie!" said Derpy.
"Hey Pinkie..." said Lyra, sad.
"Why so sad?" asked Pinkie. She bounced up and landed on the table, spilling drinks. "Pinkie will turn that frown upside-down!"
Lyra sighed. "Not really in the mood, Pinkie..."
Pinkie pouted, then smiled again. "Okay!"
Lyra arched an eyebrow. "Why are you so happy, anyway?"
Pinkie smiled and reached into her poofy pink mane, protruding a fairly small green book. "Becaaaause I just read the greatest fanfiction ever!"
Lyra's heart stopped.
Derpy spoke. "Hey! That looks just like the book Lyra said she- ohhhhh..."
Lyra snatched the book from Pinkie's grasp and held it to her chest like a madpony. "PINKIE! YOU READ MY DIARY!"
Pinkie shrugged. "So what? Everypony else did."
Lyra twitched. "What..."
Pinkie nodded. "Yeah! I saw Colgate reading it and I thought it looked cool so I read it and I showed Rainbow Dash and Junebug and the Cakes' and also babies can't read."
Lyra looked rushed. "Who else in Ponyville read my diary?"
Derpy returned to the table with a muffin, munching into it. "Hm?"
Lyra spoke. "Derpy, my diary! Almost everypony read it!"
"That reminds me, you still owe me two hundred bits."
"What? I never even agreed to that!"
"How else am I going to pay for my watch?" asked Derpy.
Lyra sighed. Things were not well at all. Everypony in Ponyville had read her diary, as far as she was concerned. She felt nauseated and nervous.
Derpy spoke. "Also, did Pinkie say... fanfiction?"
"Yep!" said Pinkie, "Her diary is FULL of it!"
Lyra blushed.
"What kind of fanfiction, Lyra?" asked Derpy.
"The NAUGHTY kind!" said Pinkie.
Lyra blushed more. "Okay! Sheesh..."
"Well at least we found it," said Derpy, "Nothing else to do, right?"
"What if somepony else read my di-" said Lyra.
"You can figure that out on your own time!" said Derpy, "I still want my two-hundred bits!"
Lyra sighed and rubbed her forehead.
It was only several minutes later that the three mares went shopping for Derpy's watch.
They entered the small store and looked around. Derpy trotted around, happy with her new pouch of bits.
"Why did I even pay you that much?" asked Lyra.
Derpy went from glass pane to glass pane looking for a watch worthy of her hoof. She glanced around with Pinkie, who also looked to buy one.
Derpy oohed and aahed at almost every watch she saw, and the stallion behind the counter was getting rather impatient.
"What's your name?" asked Derpy to the stallion.
"Clockwork." he said.
":3"
"Are you going to buy a watch?"
"Yesh."
"Anything in particular you like?"
Derpy thought. "Well I don't like clocks with hands-"
"Analog...?"
"-because my eyes spin all the time. Can I have a digital one?"
The stallion directed her to a counter of all digital watches, and Derpy looked over all of them.
"Ooooh! That one!" said Derpy, pointing to a watch.
The stallion took the watch out of the display and handed it to her. Derpy looked it over and was content with the black and green watch.
"I'll take this one!" said Derpy, "How much?"
"Four hundred bits." replied the stallion.
Derpy smiled at Lyra, who had been watching the two.
"NO!" yelled Lyra, "I am NOT spending MORE bits on you!"
"This watch is awesome!" said Derpy. She pushed the buttons on it and adjusted the strap. The black and green watch was now secure on her hoof, ready to tell her when it was problem-solving time.
Lyra rolled her eyes. "You better not lose it. I paid for ALL of it."
"Thank you!" said Derpy.
"Yeah, thanks for helping find my diary. I'll find out who read from it soon enough."
With that, Lyra left the two and went on her way. Pinkie smiled with a watch of her own.
"Now what?" asked Pinkie.
"Let's find us a new case!" said Derpy.
Author's Note: Short chapter is short and mediocre. Next one will be better. This was delayed cause I was working on school and making music and laziness.
