                                            >She's never been asked out before nor has she been on a date.

                                            >At last, she's going to have a special somepony and she's never been happier!

                                            >Derpy gets all dressed up, face glowing with such excitement that only a muffin could bring.

                                            >Anon tells her to meet him out front of a fancy restaurant in Canterlot for dinner

                                            >Derpy is a little nervous as she looks around trying to find Anon.

                                            >Minutes go by and she still can't find him, panick setting in.

                                            >The restaurant doors open and the fancily dressed couples begin to enter and get seated.

                                            >As the last of the line files in, Derpy watches with tears in her eyes.

                                            >But wait! Maybe Anon is inside waiting for her

                                            >Derpy runs over to the entrance and approaches the hostess as they are getting ready to close the doors

                                            "Excuse me!"

                                            >The hostess is a unicorn with a red mane, light brown coat and she's wearing a stylish uniform

                                            >"Good evening ma'am, are you here for the dinner?"

                                            "I'm here for Anon!"

                                            >Awkward silence

                                            >"...Anon?"

                                            "For our date"

                                            >"Oh I see, you are a bit late but we still have time to get you seated. You said you had a date?"

                                            >Derpy is still feeling anxious but she's at least making progress with the hostess

                                            "Y-yes, his name is Anon and we have a dinner date tonight but I don't know where he is. I thought maybe he already went inside?"

                                            >"Sure, let me check"

                                            >She pulls out a scroll and reviews the list of names

                                            >Derpy blushes as she hoofs the ground

                                            >"Ah, here we are. Anon Y Mous? He's currently here in attendance"

                                            >Derpy smiles and jumps up in excitement

                                            "Yay! I can't wait to see him!"

                                            >"And your name ma'am?"

                                            >The other mare scans the guest list, eyes surveying the entire scroll

                                            "Y-yeah."

                                            >"Your name doesn't appear to be on the guest list."

                                            >Derpy looks at her with eyes swirling around as tears begin to form

                                            "T-that can't be true! Anon is waiting for me inside, you even said he is here..."

                                            >"Ma'am, Anon is here but his guest is written as Lyra Heartstrings, which she's also inside with him"

                                            >Derpy's mouth drops as she stands there in shock

                                            >"I'm sorry, but I need to return to my duties"

                                            >With an empathetic glance, the hostess turns away from Derpy and closes the large wooden door

                                            >Derpy sits down on the ground as tears start flowing freely

                                            >She just doesn't know what went wrong as she sobs softly.
