* WellDoneSonGuy:
** Derpy's parents are both established officials in the Weather Bureau, and Derpy's failure to improve both her academics and her career strained their relationship. Derpy eventually left Cloudsdale just to escape their influence.

* WhatTheHellHero: Rainbow Dash accosts Cloudchaser and Flitter for laughing at Derpy when she fell in an icy lake, instead of helping her. She also tells them to forget the flight lessons she was about to give them.

[[caption-width-right:273: One snowy night changed everything...]]

A [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP:FiM]] {{Fanfic}} by Cranberry Muffin.

On the Ponyville Weather Team, a new policy is put into effect. Each meeting, somepony has to provide the snacks for the whole team, instead of just mooching off of whoever's house they're meeting at. This is a problem for [[TheKlutz Derpy]], whose cooking skills are [[LethalChef less than]] [[WalkingDisasterArea optimal]]. When the day comes for her to provide the snacks, it was the help of her close friend Thunderlane that allowed her to provide a tasty treat without any destroyed buildings. Thunderlane's kindness, and his admiration for her despite her shortcomings, pushed the two together, and they start their new life as Ponyville's new OddCouple.

That was the prologue. Now, Derpy's been asked to present herself for Thunderlane's little brother's pony for family Appreciation Day, and it's up to her and her coltfriend to conquer her self-esteem issues and provide the best presentation ever.

Can be found [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/58413/Were-Gonna-Get-There-Soon here]], while the prologue can be found [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/53635/How-Sweet-It-Is here]].
