  1. 1.
    >The day started as all Mailpony's days started
  2. 2.
    >Slow, boring, and smelling strongly of old paper
  3. 3.
    >Due to the size of Ponyville mail was a bit of a rarity
  4. 4.
    >Logistically this was a blessing for the small office, though not all saw it as one
  5. 5.
    >For Derpy Hooves the slow pace proved rather boring, to nobody's surprise the ever bubbly and excitable mare longed for adventure, more people to meet, more things to do
  6. 6.
    >Her request would certainly be granted, perhaps more than she had bargained for
  7. 7.
    >As if on cue a small, manilla-colored pegasus dashed her way over to Derpy and handed her a freshly sealed envelope
  8. 8.
    >"Boss wants to see ya," She said abruptly, already turning to leave
  9. 9.
    >"Did she say why?"
  10. 10.
    >"No idea but it's best not to keep her waiting."
  11. 11.
    >With that she sped off, leaving Derpy alone with a heap of questions and no answers
  12. 12.
    >Deciding to heed the warning of her colleague she trotted off towards the supervisor's office
  13. 13.
    >It was tucked away in a corner of the building, the only notable thing differentiating it from the rest of the rooms was a faded plaque that said "Office of Supervisor Flitter"
  14. 14.
    >With a deep breath, Derpy opened the door and was met with the judgmental Supervisor Flitter Swish staring back at her
  15. 15.
    >Despite the cheery name, she was anything but.
  16. 16.
    >Supervisor Flitter was a tall, professional unicorn mare that oversaw everything that happened regarding the ponyville mail system
  17. 17.
    >Nobody liked her all that much but she got the mail where it needed to go
  18. 18.
    >It also helped she rarely stepped outside her office
  19. 19.
    >"Come in," She said, gesturing to the empty seat in front of the spartan desk
  20. 20.
    >Nervousely Derpy entered the plain office, feeling a sense of anxiety shadowing her every step
  21. 21.
    >Hardly anyone got called in here, when they did it nearly always meant something bad
  22. 22.
    >It was true she hadn't been the perfect employee
  23. 23.
    >She may have dropped a package here and there
  24. 24.
    >And maybe she got the addresses wrong a few times
  25. 25.
    >But did that really warrant being axed in person by Flitter?
  26. 26.
    >Surely not
  27. 27.
    >Despite these reassurances the feeling remained, only amplified as the mare across from her spoke once more in her familiar cold tone
  28. 28.
    >"I have a special assignment for you Ms. Hooves"
  29. 29.
    >She blinked in surprise
  30. 30.
    >Nobody ever gave her special assignments, certainly not ones handed down from the boss herself
  31. 31.
    >"Ms. Hooves?" She repeated
  32. 32.
    >Immediately she snapped to attention, banishing the questions she desired to ask
  33. 33.
    >"Oh uh yes Mrs. Flitter?"
  34. 34.
    >"Listen closely this is important. The envelope you were handed earlier contains instructions and a letter you must deliver to the address written on it. I assume you can handle that?"
  35. 35.
    >"Yes of course!" She replied, raising a hoof to her forehead in salute
  36. 36.
    >"I was assured by one Twilight Sparkle that you would be the right pony for this job. Do not let me down."
  37. 37.
    >"Wouldn't dream of it, ma'am!" She beamed
  38. 38.
    >"Now run along," Flitter said, waving her away with her hoof
