Back in Cloudsdale, Derpy was in the post office. It was late at night and she was almost done her shift. She sorted the mail. She noticed a scroll with a blue cyan seal. She put the scroll into her mailbag. She flew back to her cloud home. She turned

on her TV, and grabbed a muffin out of her refrigerator. She opened the scroll. It read:

"Dear Derpy,

Lyra here, and I am with Bon Bon and Octavia in Canterlot. I've decided to reunite me you, Bon Bon, Octavia, Vinyl, and Time Turner, and hope to regain our popularity. Unfortunately, Balloon Flight, the peagasus in charge of the hot air balloons to Cloudsdale, had an accident earlier today during a storm. We really hope you'll come to Canterlot with us. It's not the same without you.

Love,

Lyra, Octavia, Bon Bon"

There was a picture of her, Lyra, Bon Bon, Vinyl, Octavia, and Time Turner attached in the bottom right corner of the scroll.

"We were so happy together." Derpy said to herself. "But I can't just leave the post office without me!"

Derpy thought about her friends.

"But my friends need me more!"

She grabbed her backpack and ran out the door. She started flying. She flew through the night.

The next morning she saw Canterlot in the daylight. She flew as fast as she could. Suddenly her wings stopped. She couldn't handle it. She landed with a thud in a street. Around her she saw many elegant unicorns in dresses and suits.

"No pegasuses." Derpy thought as she walked down the streets carefully.

She decided she needed to fly. She'd never find her old friends by walking. She carefully fluttered her wings and she was in the air. At a moderately fast speed, she looked below trying to find a place her friends might be. She then saw the purple building that looked familiar.

"Twilight's observatory!" she thought. "Maybe Twilight knows where Lyra, Octavia, and Bon Bon are."

She flew downwards and walked up to the door. She rang the sparkly doorbell next to the door. The door opened a crack. Derpy saw a flash of cobalt blue hair through the crack.

"Bon Bon?" Derpy called.

"Who's there?" a voice called out.

"Derpy Hooves." Derpy replied.

The door opened immediately.

"OMG Derpy!" Bon Bon reached out and hugged Derpy.

"Come in!" Bon Bon called to Derpy.

The two walked up the steps at the front door and went into the observatory. Deroy noticed Lyra practicing her magic. Sparks of bright light flew in all directions. Octavia had been writing sheet music.

"Derpy!" Lyra and Octavia yelled.

The two ran over to Derpy and hugged her. The two let go.

"So you're going to help with Lyra's plan?" Octavia asked Derpy.

"Yeah." Derpy replied.

"Well then, now we need too catch a train to Manehatten!" Bon Bon exclaimed happily.

Lyra got up from the floor.

"Actually, I was thinking that maybe it might be quicker if we pick up Time Turner, then went and got Vinyl." Lyra explained.

"Sounds good." Octavia replied.

The four ponies all got their backpacks. They ran out the door.
