Derpy thread - Happy pony edition

Continued from line 621:

>You sullenly poke your food with your spoon, not really feeling like eating right now.
>It's not that the porridge turned out bad, it's quite good actually, it's just that the task that's lying ahead of you seems anything but pleasant.

>You're sitting at the dinner table together with Twilight, who's casting you the occasional nervous glance, and Derpy, who's just happily chowing down on her food, completely oblivious to what's going on with Twilight and you.

>After Twilight had told you about what she found when she went looking for Hoofington the two of you had decided you'd talk with Derpy about it over dinner.
>In retrospect you maybe should have been more specific in your planning because right now you're just awkwardly sitting at the table, unsure of how to start the conversation.

>Eventually your patience runs thin.

"Derpy", you begin just as she's about to get herself another serving, "about Mr. Hoofington-"

>"Did you find him?", Derpy cuts you off, looking at you hopefully.

>You're almost paralyzed by her gaze, unable to get out a coherent response.
>When after a few seconds you haven't answered Twilight takes over:

>"No, we didn't find him", she says hesitantly.

>You can clearly see the how the small sparkle in Derpy's eyes vanishes as her hope turn into disappointment.
>In your time in Equestria you've found that ponies are very expressive with their emotions and it seems to be true for Derpy especially so.

>"I asked around a little", Twilight continues, "and apparently Mr. Hoofington has left Ponyville."
>"One of the ponies working at the train station remembered seeing him board the Canterlot Express."

>"When will he come back?", Derpy asks, expectantly looking at Twilight and you.

"Derpy", you say with unease, "I don't think Mr. Hoofington will come back from Canterlot."

>>29936782
>For a moment Derpy just stares at you blankly, unable to comprehend what you just said.

>"He won't...?"
>"But..."

>Small tears start leaking from Derpy's eyes as her face contorts with grief.

>"Why is everypony leaving me alone?"

>More tears flow from Derpy's eyes and even though she's not crying as hysterically as she did before, you can't help but feel like being abandoned by Hoofington has hurt her very deeply.

>"Derpy", you ask carefully, "Did you like Mr. Hoofington?"

>Only after you said it you notice how you unconsciously used past tense there.

>"Yes", Derpy answers, though her voice sounds a little shaky.

>You don't think she's lying to you, but so far this looks like Stockholm Syndrome to you.
>It's probably a good idea to get more information.

"Can you tell us more about why you like him?", you say in what you hope to be a soothing voice.

>"He always-" Derpy begins before her voice cracks, "He always says that he trusts me and that I'm a big pony and that I don't need help from anypony else."

>You feel the corner of your mouth twitch a little.
>Considering the context of him being Derpy's caretaker that doesn't actually seem kind to you.

>"But isn't he a totally mean pony?", Twilight blurts out, making you cringe internally.

>God dammit Twilight, can't you be a little more careful with your wording?

>"No he's not", Derpy protests, "Because when he's being mean to me it's not his fault."

I think she would be the princess of perseverance. We'd get episodes of her student tackling problems.

>For a second it's dead silent in the room.
>Even Derpy, who seems like she's not very good at recognizing social cues can tell that Twilight and you are not convinced.

>"It's the alcohol's fault", she elaborates, "Because Mommy said that I'm not allowed to drink alcohol because it messes with your head and it makes you do things that you wouldn't do otherwise."
>"And Mommy also said that she doesn't like Mr. Hoofington and when I asked her why she said that she doesn't like him because he's an alcoholic and that means that he has a sickness that makes him drink alcohol all the time."

>She pauses briefly to take a breath.

>"But that's really mean because it's not his fault for being sick."

"Look", you say calmly, "It's not that sim-"

>"And also", Derpy cuts you off, "I mess up all the time even though I try really hard to follow the rules because sometimes I do something wrong and Mr. Hoofington says I broke a rule but I didn't know that there is a rule."

>>29963127
>Over the course of her explanation Derpy's tone of voice has become increasingly heated, accompanied by a growing scowl on her face.

>This is worse than you expected.

"Listen, I-"

>"And one time it was Mr. Hoofington's birthday and I knew because I had asked him and I had made a cross on my calendar and I wanted to give him a birthday gift because he's always sad and I wanted him to not be sad anymore."
>"So I went into the kitchen to make a birthday cake for him and it was really hard because I had to follow the recipe and I had to think really hard to do everything right."
>"But then Mr. Hoofington came into the kitchen and I was surprised because I didn't know that he was there and I bumped into a bottle of alcohol that was standing on the counter."
>"And then the bottle fell onto the floor and it broke and the smell made me feel sick and then Mr. Hoofington got really angry and he ..."
>"He..."

>For a split second Derpy just stares off into the distance before all of her anger seems to suddenly deflate and she breaks down crying.

I'm afraid this will be all for today.
I will need more time to figure out how exactly I want the next scene to go.
