‘I’ve got a MLP fanfic in my mind, and I’ve been watching the episodes to make sure I can write it well. There’s one scene in which Derpy and Spike, having fallen off a train, are stuck in the desert together. One of Derpy’s wings is sprained, so she can’t fly. Spike is frustrated with being stuck in such a situation with this doofus, but in their time together he learns that she actually isn’t useless.
The scene I have in mind is one in which they’re walking in the desert side-by-side. One of Derpy’s wings is dragging on the ground, and the other is held up to shade Spike from the noontime sun, which is a bit too hot for a baby dragon. She’s her usual cheerful self, and Spike is surprised; he never thought of using a wing as a parasol.’
