This tale (or should I say, "tail") is about what happens when Derpy gets a hold of a giant sock, which very quickly becomes her favorite thing ever... But not everything is fun and games, as a pair of ponies have their own eyes set on that very same sock, which could lead to disaster if something isn't done soon.
This is just some comedic fluff for everyone's reading pleasure. Shades of Derpydash and Lyrabon abound here.

The Dawws, the lols, So many of both Loved it!
oh
oh hai
why did i only just get a noti for this
+1 just for Derpy
DERPY!!!!!!!!!!!! You have my utmost attettion and I really loved this story it was rather very impressive (said that for I don't know how many times tonight) but I'm very glad to have read this amazing fic
I enjoyed this. I think the whole dashie thing isn't so far off; it indicates a slightly childish frame of mind.
Question: was the switching of Ditzy and Derpy as names done on purpose? Still makes me want to get out the old sleeping bag.

that's more what I was going for, was Derpy's more childish mentality.

in the series, Rainbow Dash is the only one who calls Ditzy Doo by her "Derpy" name. Thus, I wanted it to be that way in the story as well.
glad to have such an awesome person on the doughnut army and fimfic... and earth

you flatter me...
1274514 to quote a verse of a song that i can't really remember because my mind is messed up with awesome music: "Forever and always" ... "until i die but still"

"I don't want to mention the reason I know, that I am stricken and can't let you go..."

Well that was really cute (agh but headcanon conflict! Oh well, never mind that) and well written too. And cute! Did I mention cute?
But one thing. One tiny, teeny little thing.
Meats and cheeses?
I'd suggest crackers instead.

I can't remember what episode it was, but Twilight was out having lunch with Spike, and it started raining, etc... Well if you look at the sandwich that one of them was eating, it looks like it has a slice of turkey on it. That's what I was trying to reference.

Fair enoughski.

Nice!

aaw... sweet little Derpy gift.
1303753 yup
I'm a sucker for a Derpy dawwwwww fic. Thanks for this one!

'twas a pleasure. glad you enjoyed it!
Derpy and Dinky as sisters? Makes sense, given that their age range is the same as the Mane Six and the Crusaders respectively. But they're ingraved into my mind as mother and daughter...
Oh,well. It was a nice story, good :3
1322585
actually, after doing some research, I've found that My Little Pony canon is that they're neither. Dinky and Derpy have no relation, at least not as of yet. generally, though, it's fan-canon that they're either sisters or mother/daughter.
1336727
Of course they're not! Bon Bon and Lyra aren't lovers and Time Turner is not a Time Lord :twilightsheepish
Just saying that sisters makes more sense than mother-daughter, as far as fanon is concerned with.
Keep on!

I'm pretty sure they're going to be making a few reveals in season 3. Not sure about Doctor Whooves being a Time Lord, but I think Lyra and Bon Bon are going to get together, and maybe they'll do something with Derpy and Dinky. or heck, maybe with Derpy and Sparkler, 'cause it's generally fan-canon that Sparkler is related to Derpy and Dinky somehow.

Time Lords are out, by a simple copyright law. Bon Bon and Lyra are never going to fly, it's a kids show :3
The Hooves' relationships are a Schrodinger Cat.

and Archie is a kids' comic, yet they introduced the first-ever openly gay character last year. maybe they won't go all the way and say "oh hey we're lesbian lovers" but possibly some shades to hint at that? there are things in the show for adults, that kids just won't get. (like the Big Lebowski reference in "The Cutie Pox".)
The sock that brought two together. Gave me all the warm feelings.
Welp, I read it again. Still as cute as it was before. It's a nice pick-me-up when I'm feeling a bit down.
there is not enough d'aww to describe the incredible amazingness of such a tale. it was....just...so...derptastic!
This is my most popular one-shot. How did it not get featured? Lol
A warm and fuzzy tale. I keep thinking about sleeping bag sized socks and whether there would be a market.
Such a cute story!
Excellent.
Derpy in a big sock? Derpy in a big sock! DERPY IN A BIG SOCK! I cannot express the amount of yay this makes me feel.

The D'awws. THE D'AWWS.

I always love commenting on things this old. This is the second-cutest fic I’ve ever read, and I will be thinking of it all through my finals whenever I need to cheer myself up <3
Thank you!!
