When Derpy had signed up for all of this, she had thought that there might be a little ball or something, get a fancy dress, and that was that. That was what a fairytale romance would be, right? So when found herself surrounded by servants helping to brush her mane and coat while sitting in in the crystalline halls of the Crystal Palace. So, basically, she actually got to be a princess, which was definitely a new experience for the lowly mailmare. Even now, as she watched some of the Crystal Ponies servants struggling to get her mane straightened, she had to giggle at all that was happening.
"I'm really sorry about my mane. I've never gotten it to get straightened out either. Really, it's fine as it is," she said, giggling. It was true, her mane had always been kind of short and scraggly. Though admittedly her eyes did make it a little hard to tell if her mane was straight.
"If that's what you think best, Princess Derpy,"[/b] one of the mare's said as they backed off with a smile, leaving Derpy to glance over herself in the mirror.
Even if it was still a mess, her mane was practically glowing from the hair treatments she had gotten earlier. It looked shiny and silky smooth, probably the best it had been in ages. The same had to be said of her coat, which she swore looked slightly less gray than normal. Too bad whatever the princess used for shampooing was probably not easy to get, cause she would really like some for her own use. Though maybe she could get some since she was....no, it'd be wrong of her to use her new "princess for a day" powers on something so trivial.
They had also offered a dress, but since right after this was supposed to be breakfast and there was a lunch later, Derpy suggested holding off. She really didn't want to ruin the dress by spilling any food on it. After all, it sounded like it was going to be a rather grand breakfast! And after that, she would get to sit on the throne and enjoy a morning as the Princess of Love! Even if it was all supposed to be pretend, it was all going to be exciting!
Oh, and that didn't even include how she was supposed to get courted by some mysterious suitor! She hadn't been told anything about them of course, just that they'd spend the afternoon and ball together. As much as she'd like to rely on her knowledge of Ponyville to help her, this was supposed to be open to all of Equestria! Who knew who she would get?! But, well, as long as they were nice and kind it would hopefully turn out alright. She wasn't exactly sure about committing to anything in the fanciness of the moment but, well, the whole point of this was to maybe find someone....
But first, she was going to eat whatever was making that delicious aroma! Wait, she recognized that scent. It smelled like...
"You guys, you really didn't need to..."
"No no, it was no trouble at all Princess Derpy. Princess Cadence is also quite a fan of the Cake's bakery, so it was no problem at all to get their assistance in providing catering for the evening...and of course muffins for your breakfast."
Being a princess was wonderful!
