>It's Hearts and Hooves day and Anon asks Derpy out on a date >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 >Later that evening >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. >Some of them throwing strange glances at the lone Derpy. >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 >She turns around to greet Derpy >"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?" >Derpy pauses her mini celebration and focuses on the task at hand "Derpy...Derpy Hooves" >The other mare scans the guest list, eyes surveying the entire scroll >Her face scrunches as she looks back at Derpy >"I'm sorry Miss... Derpy, is it?" "Y-yeah." >Derpy's heart is thudding loudly in her ears >"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.
