A Big Bright Beautiful

Takes place during the events of "The Last Roundup", before the gang leaves Ponyville. "Bright Eyes" refers to the blond pegasus with the bubble Cutie Mark, commonly known to the fandom as "Derpy Hooves".

Bright Eyes is clumsy. Bright Eyes is funny looking. Bright Eyes doesn't seem to have a care in the world. It's a shame that last assumption isn't actually not true in the slightest. The walleyed Pegasus is deeply uncertain over her place in Ponyville, and the place she holds in the eyes of her peers and friends.

The night after Applejack leaves for the rodeo, she finds herself back at the damaged town hall, surveying the damage she'd done, full of her usual anxieties and self doubt. Fluttershy finds her there and offers her some reassurance, one underperforming Pegasus to another. She also gives Bright Eyes her solemn promise as a friend - she'll teach the town to call her friend by her name if it's the last thing she does.
