  16. 16.
    >you scratch your head
  17. 17.
    >you thought they were permanently attached, you tell her
  18. 18.
    >that's silly, she says
  19. 19.
    >unicorn horns are detachable for cleaning too
  20. 20.
    >and the Princesses are modular, their limbs and heads snap off and on and stuff
  21. 21.
    >just last month some kind of big monster attacked Baltimare
  22. 22.
    >and the Princesses had to assemble all their body parts into one enormous eight-legged, two-headed, four-winged abomination to fight it
  23. 23.
    >you stare at her
  24. 24.
    >you would once have been inclined to call shenanigans on such a story
  25. 25.
    >but since you came to Magic Pastel Tiny Hoers Land you've seen weirder things than that
  26. 26.
    >you're telling me, says Cranky Doodle

  30. 30.
    >damn, this place is weird
  31. 31.
    >you wonder if Gilda and a manticore could exchange heads, as you watch a beer commercial with minotaur dancing girls
  32. 32.
    >it was just another day
  33. 33.
     
  34. 34.
    Repoastin always fun, I totally didn't forget to work on a thing
  35. 35.
    >Walking to the store after work.
  36. 36.
    >Another unmemorable ten hours wasted away. At least you made some commission pay instead of just hourly today.
  37. 37.
    >Walking past the happy couples and the hyperactive little fillies and colts running off the day's extra dose of sugar your thoughts are mostly on the mundane.
  38. 38.
    >What to make for dinner? Do you have enough lime for gin and tonics? Why do they call it Hearts and Hooves Day?
  39. 39.
    >Your mind casually compares it to Valentines Day and the origins as you walk on autopilot, arriving at the store.
  40. 40.
    >You continue to veg out, filling the cart with a twelve pack of Hoofweiser, red wine and some unfortunately vegitarian spaghetti fixings plus garlic bread in your arms, you walk home.
  41. 41.
    >Ahead you see the mailmare finishing up her rounds she gives a friendly wave before flittering over. Popping out of your post work daze you wave back back as she approaches.
  42. 42.
    >One, if not the only genuine friends you can claim since arriving here. She was the first to help you in acclimatizating to your new life. Also, she has an endless supply of dirty jokes. A rare commodity here indeed.
  43. 43.
    >"Hiya Anonner! How's yer Hearts n Hoovsies day been big guy?" Her hoof raised for a bump as she lands.
  44. 44.
    Tapping her hoof with a fist, "Fixin shit, getting paid. You?"
  45. 45.
    >Hefting the bulging mail sack with a grunt she drops it with thud at your feet. A few pink cards and letters sealed with a kiss pop out and drift to the ground like falling leaves. "About this good."
  46. 46.
    "Damn, good luck with that."
  47. 47.
     
  48. 48.
    >With a snort and a smile she scoops up the fallen mail and slings the sack back over her side before jumping up and hovering at your eye level. "At least it's not catalog day bud. Anyways, I gotta get back to work. See ya round big fellah!"
  49. 49.
    "Kay, have fun."
  50. 50.
    >With a flap of her wings she resumes her route. Watching her for a moment before resuming the trek home.
  51. 51.
    >Arriving at the doorstep you set one of the bags down and reach in the mailbox. Pulling out the wad of envelopes and a coupon book or two you shove it in the grocery bag before unlocking the front door.
  52. 52.
    >Setting the bags down you fish out the mail. Bill, bill, junk mail, Neighgerian prince has an amazing offer, more junk mail and a new issue of Bows and Arrows. Popping the tab on a beer you drink deep, finishing half.
  53. 53.
    >Tossing the junkmail in the trash you empty the bags and lay out the spaghetti ingredients.
  54. 54.
    >With a start, you realize what your subconscious has done as you were zoning out in the store buying dinner. You used to make this every Valentines Day for your wife.
  55. 55.
    >An annual tradition long before the accident took her. Your heart aches as memories of the last time together bubble up.
  56. 56.
    >You've made your peace and moved on but the occasional unbidden reminders will alway sting. Focusing only on the happier times helps drive off the shock of these.
  57. 57.
    >With a deep breath and a heavy sigh you relax, easing the tightness welling in your throat. Setting down the tomatoes and mushrooms you wipe the moisture from your eye with a knuckle.
  58. 58.
     
  59. 59.
    >Another calming breath, a freshly cracked open bear and you set to work making dinner.
  60. 60.
    >A couple hours later the sauce is bubbling away gently. Light music coming from the record player as you relax with a book and a drink. Occasionally rising to stir the sauce and adjusting the heat as needed.
  61. 61.
    >With a glance at the clock you set the book down and head to the kitchen. Another stir and you decide it's time.
  62. 62.
    >Clicking the burner up to max under an already steaming pot of water you go for the noodles when your doorbell rings.
  63. 63.
    >Placing the box back down you turn the sauce down and cover it before heading to the door as the bell rings again.
  64. 64.
    "Coming, coming. Jeez, keep your pants..., saddle on will ya?"
  65. 65.
    >Opening the door you're greeted with misaligned golden eyes and an envelope filled smile. "Spefull deliferyy!", she happily mumbles around the letter before motioning you to take it.
  66. 66.
    >Plucking it out you flip it over, noticing no address. She smiles as you step back, inviting her inside. She trots in, sniffing the air. "Oh wow hey, that smells good!"
  67. 67.
    "Makin sketti So, you off work for the day then?"
  68. 68.
    >Making her way to the sofa she hops up and nods. "Just this one left. You gonna open it?"
  69. 69.
    >Tearing the envlope you pull out a Hearts and Hooves day card. On the front it says, To Anon, from Derpy. Glancing at her she smiles wide. Opening it, you read aloud
  70. 70.
    "When I delivered your mail this morning I couldn't help notice you didn't get one card this year. Nopony, nohuman? What is the right right word anyway?" Glancing up to her, "Nobody." you tell her. She nods and you continue.
  71. 71.
    "Nopony, let alone my bestest friend is gonna be left out if I can help it. I was also worried this might be tough time for you too. Just remember, I'm always here if you need to talk or need cheering up about what got you feeling blue or just want to hang out! So anyway, have a happy hearts and hooves day Anon. Your friend, Derpy.
  72. 72.
    >She looks away shyly as you finish reading.
  73. 73.
    >Standing the card up on the end table, you walk over and kneel down in front of the sofa and pull her into a hug. Rubbing your back with a foreleg she squeezes you tightly.
  74. 74.
    "Thank you Derps.", you whisper.
  75. 75.
    >Holding on a few moments longer before releasing each other you rise. Walking towards the kitchen you turn back you see her wipe away a happy tear.
  76. 76.
    "So uh, hey. You want to have some spaghetti with me tonight?"
  77. 77.
    Her bubbly smile is all the answer you need.

  86. 86.
    >mainly they come here for trade
  87. 87.

  88. 88.
    >there are less obvious things traded
  89. 89.

  91. 91.

    >and today
  103. 103.

  106. 106.
    >it's a beautiful cloudless late spring day
  107. 107.
    >you've met the most charming blonde pegasus in the Rembrandt museum
  108. 108.
    >she's got a grey colt and golden eyes that point in different directions
  109. 109.
    >but she's quite charming, and her enthusiasm for the city is infectious

    >relatives are caring for her while she works to send money back home
  112. 112.
    >she keeps talking about her "Muffin"
  113. 113.
    >she also laughs at your jokes as you walk together among the lengthening late afternoon shadows
  114. 114.
    >you wonder if she's just being polite, as you've never been a funny guy
  115. 115.
     
  116. 116.
    >and she blushes when she shyly asks you to go to a coffee with her
  117. 117.
    >you are utterly charmed and can't help but agree
  118. 118.

    "Are you sure about this, Miss?"
  123. 123.
    >"Call me Derpy. And I've heard it's very popular and lots of fun."
  124. 124.
    "Well, okay."
  125. 125.

  139. 139.
    >she sort of hovers impossibly in midair, wings barely moving, like pegasus pones do

    >while she wiggles her butt with an enormous sleepy smile on her face
  141. 141.

  147. 147.
    >this seems a little odd to you, but okay

    "Is everything okay, Derpy?"
  150. 150.

  153. 153.

    >folds her legs up underneath herself sort of like a cat
  165. 165.

    >and in a moment she's snoring

    >well, then
  168. 168.
    >you suppose this is going to be an awkward conversation in the morning

  171. 171.

    >the next morning, just after first light

  175. 175.
    >and come back to the room

    >"I just don't know what went wrong."
