Hellos, thank you for coming for a look, please make yourself comfortable for a read that I hope you'll enjoy. Thank you.
I would like to thank my beta reader BlackRoseRaven for reading and providing a lot of good corrections. This would have a lot of mistakes if not for him.
The story begins with our favorite wall eyed mail mare out on her rounds.
Ditzy, or as some of the less kind ponies called her, "Derpy" was having a good day. It started with a warm blueberry muffin, then seeing her daughter Dinky off to school, and now her mail route was going along without a hitch.
She greeted everypony she knew with a warm smile. Most of them gave a warm greeting back of "Hello" or "Hay." She was pretty sure that she hadn't even delivered any wrong mail today. She was sure today was going to be a great day.
She was on her way to deliver a package to Sugar Cube Corner. She flew a bit slowly observing things as she went along. Ditzy liked to watch what people did in their life because her work was repetitive but she still enjoyed it.
She saw Applejack setting up a stand in the square, The Cutie Mark Crusaders were trying another attempt to get their Cutie Mark, but it looked like Cutie Mark extreme sports wasn't going so well. She observed Twilight's assistant Spike carring a large amount paper back to the library. Ditzy didn't like to read much but she occasionally went to the library to get picture books for Dinky.
She made good time, even though she was moving slow. She knocked on the door. Pinkie Pie answered the door.
"Hi there Derpy!" She covered her mouth, "oops sorry, I mean Ditzy."
"That’s okay. I have a package for Mr. And Mrs. Cake." Ditzy tried to sound offical but she couldn't stop herself from giggling, her official, how absurd.
"Oooh they've been expecting this for weeks, thank Ditzy!" Pinkie Pie took the packge and set it inside. "Hey Ditzy! I'm trowing a party for how great everything is going, you wanna come?"
"Sure Pinkie!" Ditzy's smile became goofy and her eyes crossed. "Well, I got other mail to deliver. See ya!"
Ditzy went about delivering along her normal route. She opened her wings and started to ascend. She could deliver her mail faster if she got above the houses. She was proud of herself for doing so good today, most days.... No she wouldn't think about it.
She flew over the school. She saw her darling Dinky. She waved and Ditzy waved back which set her off balance. She tried to regain her balance but continued down in a spiral motion. Ditzy picked up speed she desperately tried to slow down. She opened her wings right before smacked into the ground.
She crash into a table where some little fillies were sitting. Cheerilee heard the noise and ran out. She sighed, this was not the first time Ditzy came to "visit."
"Sorry, Miss Cheerilee." Ditzy said. Some of the fillies snickered. Dinky blush as she saw her daughter try to hide herself. Dang it she embarrassed Dinky... again.
"It’s alright, Der... Ditzy." Cheerile put on a fake smile.
"I guess this is a happy accident! I have some mail for you!" Dinky reached into her carry bag and pulled out a mess of letters and handed them to an annoyed Cheerilee. Ditzy didn't notice though. After she handed over the mail, she waved to Dinky who was trying to hide, "Bye, My little muffin!"
Ditzy took to the air again. She felt alittle bad for crashing but she wouldn't let her ruin her day. She delivered some more mail without incident.
Ditzy finished her work early and arrived home, She licked her lips at the thought of all the muffins she was going to make. Dinky is gonna love 'em. She smiled to herself.

"Ditzy!" Carrot Top knocked on the door. Ditzy trotted away from her muffin batter to answer her door.
"Hi Carrot Top!" She greeted her very best friend in the world. Carrot Top sighed at her energetic gray coated friend.
"Ditzy? Good your here. Do you have any muffins I can have? I have a book club meeting today and I forgot the snacks. Oooh the ladies are going to think I'm a fool." Carrot Top worried; Ditzy knew they wouldn't really think her a fool, Carrot Top she just liked to worry like that.
"I'm making some right now!" Ditzy said proudly. Carrot Top sighed in relief.
"Thanks Ditzy you’re a life saver." Ditzy motioned for her to come in and make herself comfortable.
"Hey Ditzy, are you going to the party that Pinkie Pie is hosting?" Carrot Top asked.
"I don't know.... I can’t leave Dinky here alone and I don't want to embarrass myself again." Ditzy said. Carrot Top hugged her friend.
"You should go! We can find a sitter for Dinky. And I'm sure you'll be fine; besides, maybe you can find a Stallion and..."
Ditzy blushed, "Oh Carrot Top I can't.... I'm not pretty enough anyway..."
Carrot Top looked offended, "Ditzy you are one very pretty pony! If you would spend a day on yourself you'd have stallions falling at your hoofs."
Ditzy blushed hard, "Oh you." Ditzy hugged Carrot Top. She truly was a great friend.
Ditzy pulled the muffins out of the oven and set them on cooling racks. She grabbed a bag and put some muffins in it.
Carrot Top hugged Ditzy again, "Thanks Ditzy! I'm serious go to the spa get yourself gussied up."
Ditzy nodded as Carrot Top bolted out the door holding the bag of muffins in her mouth. Should I go? No, I shouldn’t; money is tight as it is right now. Maybe if I have my hair done I can afford it. I guess I can afford it. Ditzy took some bits out for the spa.
Ditzy had a slight bounce in her step as she walked across the town to the spa. Ditzy hummed a song to herself and she wasn’t watching where she was going and ran straight into an angry looking stallion.
Ditzy went wall eyed, "Oh sorry mister!"
The angry stallion looked down at her in disgust, "Oh it's you, the retard. Why don't you just get lost! No one wants you around your disgusting to look at your freaky eyes. You’re a monster!"
Ponies skirted around or ignored the situation all together. Ditzy's ears flatted on to her head. She bowed her head and then the stallion pushed her down to the ground. She was sure she was going to hit her.
Then a shadow came over them both. Ditzy opened one eye. A large crimson stallion with sandy orange mane was standing behind the angry stailion. Oh no, he's got a friend to beat me up too.
"Get away from her." The Crimson pony said in a deep threatening voice. The angry stallion turned around. He had to look up at the larger pony.
"Oh yeah, I'll give you what for!" The angry stallion yelled and raised a hoof to throw a punch stright into the chest of the larger stallion. The crimson staillion didn't move an inch and raised an eyebrow.
"You want to try again?" The large draft pony said in a deep voice. The angry stallion raised a hoof again. The large pony swung a large hoof into the side of the smaller stallion, knocking him down to the ground. "Now, I don't want to hurt y'all. But if I see ya in this town again I'll kick your mark straight of your flank."
The smaller stallion ran off a large bruise forming on his side. The crimson pony turned his attention to the mare lying on the ground. She opened her eyes that were still wall eyed. Oh no oh no oh no oh no he's gonna kill me.
"Uh, miss y'all alright?" The crimson pony asked in a gentle voice that surprised Ditzy.
She refocused her eyes and saw a stallion staring down on her. She couldn't help notice the contrast from the gentle look on his face to his large muscled body.
"Miss?" She noticed a concerned look in his eyes; it made her feel a tiny bit better.
"Um yep, I'm alright." In truth she felt terrible on the inside. He helped her to her hooves.
"I'm mighty sorry for what that stallion did ta ya. Ain't right treating a pretty mare like that." She said gently. She had her head down. He felt bad for her but didn’t know this wasn’t unusual for her. Ditzy didn't say anything which was unusual for her. She thought the day was going to be a good one, but she was wrong. "I'm Big Macintosh. May Ah ask what your name is?"
"Ditzy Doo." Ditzy said. Her eyes went wall eyed in sadness again. Big Mac noticed this but didn't react.
"Well, Miss Doo would y'all like an escort to where ever you’re going?" He offered to be polite. Ditzy nodded and started walking Big Macintosh followed close behind. Ditzy was depressed and no amount of politeness would fix it.
She led them into the spa. The two ponies waiting for customers looked suprised to see Big Macintosh come in.
"Hellooo." one of them said, "How may we help you?"
"Just the hair care." Ditzy said. Big Macitosh looked down at her with an eyebrow raised.
"Wait, give her full treatment any pony that's been through what she has deserves it." The large stallion said putting the appropriate amount of bits on the counter. Ditzy looked surprised, no one had besides Carrot Top had been that nice to her in a long while.
"Well, Ah got to get going. See ya around Miss Doo." The big red Pony trotted out of the spa. The two spa ponies grabbed Ditzy and threw her into a chair. They idly talked to each other. Ditzy ignored, still understandably stuck in her depression, them untill one of them mentioned Big Macintosh. She listened for a bit as they said things from compliments to some very inappropriate things.
"He sure is a nice one." One of the spa ponies said. Ditzy thought to herself, he sure is.

Ditzy trotted out of the spa, feeling slightly better then when she entered. She trotted along ponies where staring at her. Do I look bad?
Ditzy went to the Ponyville elementary to pick her daughter, Dinky. She didn't want to fly to avoid crashing, so she was fine walking. As she arrived at the school some of the other parents were waiting for their little fillies and colts.
One of the stallions that were waiting looked over at her and almost fell over.
"Hello, Ditzy..." That stallion said nervously. His wife was standing next to him and hit him on the shoulder. "Ow."
Ditzy stood waiting for school to get out. She could feel the stallions stealing glances at her. I must look good.
The school bell rang. The little colts and fillies ran out to greet their parents. Dinky ran out and over to her mother.
"Hey, mom. Wow.... You look beautiful." Dinky said. Ditzy blushed Dinky knew how to make her feel good.
"Hello, muffin, how was your day?" Ditzy asked. Dinky gave a big grin and hopped in place.
"I made a new friend! Her name is Twist! That's her over there." She pointed to a filly wearing some large glasses. Twist waved back. "She invited me over for dinner, can I go? Please!"
"That’s great, muffin, of course you can go. You have fun now." Ditzy said it warmed her heart that her daughter was making friends. Dinky squeaked and ran over to her friend.
Ditzy smiled maybe; the day wasn't so bad.

"Oh girl! You look great!" Carrot Top ogled over, Ditzy who was blushing madly. "Those stallions won't know what hit them. Now I found a sitter for Dinky tomorrow. Nurse Redheart said she would take her for the night. Now, I'll come and get you around 7, and then we can go to the party tomorrow, okay?"
"That sounds great!" Ditzy said. She couldn't bring herself to tell her friend what happened. "I sure hope we have a good time."
Carrot Top hugged her friend. "So do I."
