Derpy rolled her eyes again. Why was she even dating Carrot Top anyway? Non-stop blabbing about gardening, or other unimportant bull.
    "…And then,  The Doctor said he loved you." Carrot Top finished. Derpy's ears perked up.
   "He said, what?!?" She half yelled.
   "I was just checking, to see if you were paying attention." Carrot top smirked.
   "Look, Carrot," Derpy started, " I love our friendship! We were, are amazing friends, but, I can never love you the way you love me. I'm really sorry!"
      "You what?" Carrot gasped, " But-"
      "I'm sorry." Derpy said quietly. Carrot Top was outraged.
       "So. That's it then? Dumping me for some 'Science and Physics' freak?" She screamed.
        "Carrot, Calm down." Derpy said, slowly.
        "Why? Why should I listen to you?" She began to cry. Derpy hugged her friend, rubbing her back.
        "Its okay." She cooed, and softly kissed her partner's cheek.  Carrot's crying slowed, and turned into a small case of hiccups.
        "You're. going to make an. amazing mother," Carrot smiled. Derpy just nodded. She was sad inside. Even thought Carrot annoyed the snot out of her, she filled a deep hole that Derpy could not explain.

    When Derpy went home, to her small cottage on Hayseed Avenue, she just flew to the couch, and sat down. If she were still dating Carrot, in two hours, they would be going to the new grill by Sweet Apple Acres. Derpy had it all planed too. She'd wear her gala dress. Carrot would wear the beautiful garden themed ensemble. Perhaps, maybe, after an evening of grilled hay and daisies, and a bottle or two of Applejack Daniel's, She'd get lucky.
   Ha, Derpy thought, No such luck for me.
    She sighed, and went to the kitchen. She found her muffin pantry empty. Derpy went to the place where her secret stash was hidden; Empty too.
    "Oh buck." Derpy mumbled. Now she needed to head back to Sugarcube Corner, most likely where Carrot would be drowning her sorrows with vegan cookies, and ale. Derpy knew it would be a pretty quick trip, and she did need a banana-nut special to brighten her spirit.

-----

   As she predicted, Carrot Top was sitting at the counter, downing what appeared to be the fifth mug of ale. Derpy rolled her eyes, and entered the shop. But, to her surprise, at the booth where she and Carrot broke up, sat the Doctor, across from a blushing Roseluck. He whispered something into her ear, and she giggled, and blushed even more. Derpy rolled her eyes, and continued up to Mrs. Cake, behind the register.
     "One Vanilla frosted Banana-Nut muffin please." Derpy sighed. placing the over priced three bids on the counter.
      "Tough break-up Huh?" Said a whisper behind her. Derpy whipped around. It was Roseluck, with an odd key-and-twine necklace.
      "Leave me alone, Thorns." Derpy said flatly.
     "Look. I'm sorry. Okay? Take my apology. But listen. You're a lucky little ass." She said quickly.
     "That's offensive to mules." Derpy retorted.
      "Trust me." She whispered. She then pulled the grey mare in for a kiss. Derpy blushed, but pulled away.
       "What the hay?" She exclaimed.
       "Someday, you'll need a doctor, like I did. Enjoy it." Roseluck smiled, then winked. Derpy paid no heed to this, swiped her muffin off the counter, and left the small sweet shop.

   When she arrived back at her house, she found Vinyl asleep on her couch. Derpy shook her head playfully, and took her muffin out of the bag.
   "Hey Octavia, that dress is kinda saucy for you isn't it?" Derpy said, loud enough for Vinyl to hear. As Derpy expected, Vinyl jumped up, looking for a non-existing Octavia.
   "Damn you, Derpy." She laughed.
    "I try." Derpy said, bowing in her seat.
     "So I heard you and Carroty broke up." Vinyl said, plopping down in the seat next to her blonde friend.
    "How the buck do you know about that? It was only like, an hour ago!" Derpy shouted.
     "The Pinkie's have ears." Vinyl shugged.
      "I assume Berry knows?" Derpy raised an eyebrow.
     "Oh yes." Vinyl snickered.
     "Horny-Thorny kissed me." Derpy said.
      "What the hay!" Vinyl gasped.
      "I know!" Agreed Derpy," I thought she was 'Off-The-Record' seeing Space Freak."
     "Stop insulting him. We all know you wish he was yours." Vinyl smirked.
     "Shut up."
      "Is Horny-Thorny even into mares?" Vinyl wondered aloud.
      "I think so. I mean, she was dating Daisy."
       "Like eighty moons ago."
      "Whatever." Derpy said, waiving her hoof in dismissal. Vinyl looked like she wanted to object, but said nothing.
        "I miss you." Vinyl said, after a few awkward minutes past.
         "What do you mean?"
        "You never used to get into this kind of drama. Now you're popular, and crap hit the fan." Vinyl sighed.
         "Well," Derpy started. But she couldn't finish.
          "Hang in there kiddo." Vinyl said, messing up Derpy's mane.
       "I'm three years older, and hang on; Why were you even here?" She said. Vinyl got this excited look in her eye.
        "I found this at the club." Vinyl said, using her unicorn powers to hand Derpy a small book.
         "Wow!" Derpy said, sarcastically.
         "Just go to page forty." Vinyl smiled. Derpy huffed, flipping pages.
          "'Fall, moon eight. Today, I ran into another blonde. She was grey. And had the strangest eyes. Not just the color, but they were crossed. She smiled at me, in the most adorably way.'" Derpy read, " That's me! 'She handed me a letter from Jack. She had she best smile, and nice flanks too.'" Derpy began to blush, and Vinyl tell on the floor, laughing. "' But its too bad. I'm sure she'd break my heart. But I would like to break her-' Okay, I'm going to stop reading out loud now." Derpy said.
         "Well?" Vinyl asked.
          "Yeah but he's 'breaking' Roseluck." Derpy snorted. Vinyl laughed.
           "Keep in mind he thinks your stuck up, and only cares about the size of your flanks." Vinyl added.
            "Their not bad, Are they?" Derpy said, getting self conscious.
            "Derpy, Focus." Vinyl joked.
