Early Hearths Warming Eve One Shot-Crochet Magic (Derpy)

"C'mon Derpy. You can do it"

>Across from you sits a very sad and frustrated Derpy Hooves

>For the past four hours you've been trying to teach her how to crochet so she can make a scraf for her filly Dinky for Hearth's Warming Eve

>Problem, she has hooves

>Not the most dexterous of things

>You've offered her to make it yourself but she outright refuses

>She wasnts to make it herself

>It tugs at your heart a bit

>While you work on your sweater for Twilight you glance up at Derpy just staring at the pile of yarn and hooks

>Well, one eye is staring at least. The other is focusing on the small bag of crochet supplies you have on the table

>"I have to Anonymous, I really do. But I can't"

>She's downtrodden right now

>Oh lawdy heart cease your beatin'

>You go to give her a reassuring pat on the head but something stops you

>Derpy's eyes are solid staring at the pile of thread and hook

>She's starting to shake

"You okay Derpy?"

>"hnng"

>She's like, focusing hard on that thread

>Her left eye is starting to straighten up

>Oh shit

>Both her eyes are now staring at the thread like she expects it to move

>As if it were magic [spoiler]hue[/spoiler] the thread envelops itself in a purple aura

"What..the hell"

>Lifting in the air it starts to crochet itself

>Derpy is still staring hard at it

>Is she doing that?

>She can't be she's a Pegasus

>Unless she has some weird defect and she can use magic or something

>Humans back in your world sometimes done things that were deemed impossible

>What's different here?

>You can't do anything but look on in awe as the thread starts to take its shape into a small pink scarf

>Derpy finally had let up on the staring and just gazed in wonder at the thread chrocheting itself

>"I..did that?"

>You can't help but get up and give her a smile

"I guess you did Derpy wow, I guess everyp0ny here is magical huh?"

>Derpy gets out of the chair, not daring to take her eyes off the thread lest it drop to the table

>You see what looks lke tears start to form on the insides of Derpy's eyes

>She starts to sniffle

>"Anonymous, I can do something for her. Ever since...he left. I've tried my hardest to give her everything she wants to make her happy. To make her forget she *sniff* doesn't have a dad anymore"

>You don't dare stop her from this

>"Every day I go to work. Mailmare isn't the *sniff* best paying job but I can't do weather duty ever since I messed up town hall..."

>"I try my hardest to provide for her but I always mess something up. Always too clumsy..."

>"She doesn't think i see it but I catch the other colts and fillies at school pestering her and making fun of her because I'm her mom. Derpy the Cross-Eyed Mailmare..."

>"I always hear her crying in the middle of the night. But the next morning she's so cheery for her mom. She's such a strong filly Anon"

>She looks to you, face colored red and tears now freely streaming down her face

>You have to break out every defense you have not to break down right there

>"So I want her to have something. Something I made, that I didn't mess up you know? And here it is"

>The floating thread had completed crocheting itself and now sits as a perfect pink scarf on the table next to your sweater

>A very happy grey Pegasus runs over and takes the scarf, turning towards you she gives you a rib splitting hug

>"Thank you Anonymous, you're such a good person"

"No problem Derpy, now I think a certain filly is waiting on a scarf huh?"

>With a nod she bounds out the door and takes off, just as Twilight enters your house

"So, I didn't know you can crochet"

>You stand there arms crossed, and a smirk on your face

>Twilight adopts a smirk of her own "I don't know what you're talking about Anon"

 

Done. Sorry it's short. And maybe not the direction of story one would like but that's what I came up with.
