>"Hey Anon, I brought you some muffins and I was wondering if you want to eat some of them with me... you know.. like friends" "Riiiiiight. Morning to you too, Derpy," you say while you motion her inside. >"I brought you some chocolate chip and your favorite blueberry muffins! I hope you like them," Derpy muses hopefully. "I'm sure I will.Now," you point at the sofa and she flies toward it. "Coffee or hot chocolate?" >"Whatever you're having." "Alright. Be right back." >". . ." ". . ." You plop beside her and place her cup at the table. "So..." >She smiles at you and hands you a blueberry muffin. "Have breakfast...as friends." "Derpy.." You stutter as you feel your cheeks get warm. >"I'm okay, Anon. I understand why you said no yesterday," she assures you. "But that doesn't mean that we can't hang out anymore,right?" You chuckle and give her mane a rub. "Of course we still can. We both know how much trouble you cause without me." >"That's not true! I-ah..I just get sidetracked a bit sometimes!" She shoots back defensively. "Jus' pulling your leg,Derpy," you say as you take a bite at the muffin.   >". . ." ". . ." >"How is it, Anon?" "Hm? The muffin? It tastes like cardboard with bits of blueberries on it," you quip and Derpy punches you lightly in the arm. >"I don't remember you being a good baker, Mister Anonymous!" "Still miles better than yours, though." >"No it's not!" "Yes it is." >"Hairless ape!" "Iron butt!"   >Derpy tries to look cross but breaks into a giggling fit as you try to mimic her reaction. "Just kidding. These are the best cupcakes.." >"Muffins,Anon," she corrects you. "..muffins that I've ever tasted. Just don't let Pinkie know I told you this, yeah?" You ask her warily. >She scoots closer and whispers at your ear. "Okaaaay. It's our secret, I promise." You raise an eyebrow. "Pinkie promise?" >"Nuh-uh! Something better...a Derpy promise!" "Derpy promise it is." >She just leans at your shoulder and sighs contentedly. "I'm happy we can still joke around.." You chuckle a bit and add, "as friends." >"Yeah! And we can still keep secrets..as friends!" She babbles as she slides and rests her head at the side of your legs. "Derpy?" >She squirms a bit to face you. "Hm?" "Why me?" >She just smiles warmly and boops your nose. "You made me feel special. With you,I feel complete. With you, I feel...happy." You scoot her closer then start to rub one of her forehooves. "It's not like I don't like you,Derpy. It's just..I think I need more time to mull this whole thing over. I mean, aw crap, you know what I mean,right?"   >"Mhm. I understand,Anon," she says as she closes her eyes. A small smile then forms in her lips. >"I'll wait."
