Fluttershy Peace Corps - The Interviews
A group of formally dressed ponies gathered in one of the many rooms in the East wing of Fluttershy Peace Corps Headquarters. They all took their corresponding seats at a huge, wooden, rectangular table. Strong sunlight filled the room as the wall behind them was made out of solid glass. One lone chair was standing in the middle of this sanctuary, completely undefended from all sides. Fluttershy, their leader, coughed and announced.
"Umm....It is time to begin the interviews! Let the first potential member come in!"
This peculiar character also known as Doctor Whooves simply loved, what Fluttershy stood for - all the peace she constantly strives to achieve, helping everypony, being a tree - that was just wonderful.
Consequently, when the time lord had heard about the Fluttershy Peace Corps, he had pulled his passengers out of bed and had crashed the TARDIS into Celestia’s castle, in his hurry to Ponyville and on his way to the interviews.
The princess had reproached him for breaking her box, which apparently wasn’t a box at all, but an X....something..... Still the Doctor had soon left through the newly-made hole in the wall, which obviously wasn’t even worth mentioning as the time traveller had realized, being a proud “box” owner himself. Well at least that is what the report said.
“Ummm....where is he?” asked Fluttershy as she was still inspecting the Doctor’s CV.
“Hay if I know,” Applejack answered, “tardiness won’t be forgiven, I will see to that’.”
“Call him in already!” Twilight had the same thoughts.
The door swung wide open as a pony paraded into the room.
Surprisingly, it was not the Doctor.
“He is not in the hall, mam’,” a guard pony said to their leader, “we have searched everywhere for him.”
“Errrr.....great.....ummm.....call in the second one....”
Fluttershy had a bad feeling about this. The first interview might be a bad omen for their organization. Still more helping hooves were needed every day.
"Come on, Pond, time to show off my new fez," a voice said from out of nowhere.
“What’s this?” asked Fluttershy, while scanning the room to find, where the voice came from.
“I am coming, you smartypants! Can’t get ready in an instant, can I?”
The casualness of the conversation shocked everypony as they goggled their eyes, trying to find both the speakers.
“Bollocks!”
The swear word filled the vastness of the room and echoed to it’s every corner.
“Hey! Are you kidding me? Is this some kind of joke?” Rainbow Dash protested.
“There - there, has the little timey-wimey clocky-worky forgot something?” the voices continued regardless.
BAM!
Twilight had fallen out of her chair in surprise.
“Ummm....” said Fluttershy as she was trying to think something up.
“Quiet you!.....Shame - such same.....women....never understanding the needs of proper fashion and style. Are you trying to make me look bad, Amy?.....Aaahh there it is! Always remember - I wear bow ties now, bow ties are cool!”
The Doctor opened a blue door and stepped out of the TARDIS, which was invisible and safely parked in a corner with his companion Amelia and started for the chair as a recently received bill from Celestia’s management team fell to the ground.
“Greetings, mares and gentlecolts!” he said in a cheerful tone, closing the door, “I have come to the interview, my name is.....the Doctor.”
“Khe-khe.....” Fluttershy coughed, while checking, whether her eyes were seeing right, “sit down, please,” she gestured at the empty chair in the middle of the room.
“Oh! Excellent! I will!” the time traveller said, being as energetic as always.
….but;
hold on;
there was something he had not noticed before;
the piece of wooden furniture;
it was made out of wood!
Therefore the Doctor pulled out his Super Sonic Screwdriver and tried to scan it for terrestrial life forms. As expected it didn't work so the time traveller could not know whether Fluttershy had decided to check his battle readiness by making him sit on a cloaked alien.
"Sit down please...if you don't mind that is," the leader invited him.
Looking around just to be sure no one was going to pounce at him out of a dark corner, the Doctor took a seat on the mysterious wooden chair, awaiting all the possible horror, which could strike at his bottom side any given moment.
Yet.....
Thankfully, it was just plain wood, but the time lord was not out of the clear yet. Looking towards Fluttershy he saw something that greatly disturbed him, however only for a second. The stallion looked away, unsure why his breathing was so unsteady.
"Well.....blimey.....it’s terribly nice to meet you, but something is very wrong here."
Their leader peeked at the ceiling, yet for some reason her gaze disconnected abruptly. She then looked at the Doctor who was holding the chair as if arming himself against an oncoming zombie horde, ready to show off his amazing throwing skills to everypony.
"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked.
The doctor put down the chair, with a confused look on his face. Fluttershy, feeling more panicky than usual, took a few deep breaths to calm herself. The interview was getting more weird and strange by the second. The doctor sat back down. The light blue pony with a red mane he affectionately called Pond stood next to him.
Fluttershy looked up again and, when her gaze returned back down, "Ponds" hoof was blinking and a sheen of sweat was visible on her forehead. Amy slowly looked down. The amount of terror on her face could only be compared to the time, when Fluttershy looked at the dragon migration.
The Doctor’s accomplice sat down and slowly brought her hoofs together,
"They are here, somehow the “guests” have followed us through to the fourth wall and there’s more than ever before.
"EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN!" one of the newest members of the committee, who had joined just two days ago, demanded an answer.
Unfortunately, the sound was deafened by many worried voices. As confusion broke out everypony started to hold on to everything they could find - pencils, paper sheets, erasers, water bottles and so on.
The Doctor looked at the grey pony with derpy eyes who had yelled. Something about her was off, but bigger things were happening at the moment.
Fluttershy was getting more confused as time passed. What was happening here? Today was supposed to be about peace, but now it was turning into chaos,
and then.....
From seemingly out of nowhere the Doctor pulled out a strange silver device and pointed it at the ceiling.
Fluttershy gasped.
“Oh my gosh....what is that?” she said getting quieter.
"The silence," he explained, "good thing I came prepared. They delete your memories once you see them so nopony can remember these guys."
The time traveller was not the only one who had gotten ready. Fluttershy dismounted something from the bottom of the table and put it in her hooves.
The doctor looked over at the large object in Fluttershy's hooves. It seemed to be a cannon, but it was blue with flowers on the wheels.
“WHAT THE ......”
He started, but didn't get to finish his sentence as Fluttershy lit the fuse and pointed it up. Suddenly a combination of balloons, cake and a large net shot towards the silence. All six of them tumbled to the ground, left ensnared and helpless. Fluttershy walked up to them, an almost scary expression on her face as she rears up and.......
“I'm gonna capture you now......um.....if you don't mind that is she said in a quiet voice”
All the monsters had fallen to the ground as they couldn't resist the overwhelming force before them. Soon the intruders were all rounded up in the centre of the room by Apllejack's lasso and everypony sighed in relief.
"That's some technology you got there," the Doctor praised her, even more determined to join the organization, "and such a great display of teamwork! But the dangers are not over yet!" he warned, looking at one of them.
Fluttershy, ignoring the last part for the time being, nodded at Twilight who conjured up a magical cage and lifted the creatures in it with her magic.
Everypony being silent, Fluttershy started to pace her eyes, never leaving the cage, soon after an anxious Twilight joined her.
The derpy pony cleared her throat and started to speak, but was instantly elbowed by 6 different ponies. No one could interrupt Twilight Sparkle, when she paced as it meant total obliteration. Still, the Doctor didn't know this or didn't care, because when he saw the derpy pony and quite a few others start to leave the room he did what he did best.
He started talking to the grey, suspicious pony who had demanded an explanation earlier.
“Question number one : Who are you?......no, wait I...... no.....who you are....stupid question.....don't answer that,” he stopped as everypony was watching him, “question number two : How did you get here?......And......question number three : Where are the rest of the daleks?”
“Explain! Explain!” the pony just kept on doing the same thing as before.
“Eeeep!” said Fluttershy as she flinched, “....what is this? Why are you acting like that?”
“You’ll see,” the Doctor hushed her, “well, you don’t seem to be very exuberant with words....hmmm....”
“The predator shall not ask!”
“Oh....how clever of you...” the time lord said with a grin, “I’ll be blunt....question one - one more time, who are you, again?”
“A friend! A friend!”
“Friend who?” asked the Doctor, discreetly pulling a trick out of his red fez.
“WHO? WHO?” the pony he had called “dalek”, was puzzled as he rocked in place, “Not me....No!...Who?”
By now the other ponies that had tried to sneak off with the strange grey one where gathering around. And the closer they got to each other the more disturbed Fluttershy became. Their images started to flicker going from pony to what looked like upside down trashcans and back again, finally their appearance solidified into...
“Are those trashcans with plungers stick-in outta them?” Applejack stated bluntly.
“EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!” they yelled in unison as if they were “the trash can choir”. Their plungers wriggled madly as short sticks next to them glowed faintly, but sputtered out almost immediately
“Oh shut up....there will be no killing today especially not by some broken useless husks,” said the Doctor,” you don't even deserve to be called daleks. I’ve met statues scarier than you and to think that you could hide from me, the oncoming storm, on this fragile little world. Oh, you where so wrong - better just self destruct now!”
“The daleks fear nothing! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!” the trash cans went on wildly.
“Wrong!” the Doctor shouted with such hate that everypony winced, “you fear me... and, boy, do you hate yourselves for it, but no amount of genetics can stop your fear, because I am the doctor - the mad colt with a blue box and I will always be there to destroy you. So do yourselves a favor and do it for me.”
For a second everything was quiet then the daleks started to shake violently and yell in now broken voices, “Exterminate Exter.....BOOM!”
Everypony jumped for cover as the explosion shook the building, but when the smoke cleared it became obvious that the damage was bare minimum. A fairly large crater dented the floor but the rest of the building had remained unharmed. No one noticed that the brown colt, who had just saved them, was muttering something to himself until Amelia yelled.
“Doctor!!”
He looked up.
“Oh, right, Madame Twilight if you would care to lift this panel of wood,” he practically spat out the word. “You will find the ponies the daleks have kidnapped and impersonated hidden about twenty feet behind here in an easily detectable metal cage.”
Twilight nodded and entered the secret passage way, still too shocked to think.
With all the commotion gone, Fluttershy looked at the Doctor, realizing that the interview hadn’t consisted of any questions so far, she sighed.
“Ummm....just a few questions....if you don’t mind....we all saw you in action here today, but we still need to ask you something.”
“But of course! You will find my answers.....absolutely smashing!”
“Yes.....now....the first one.....What do you think about bunnies?”
The Doctor could hear Pinkie Pie whispering to Rainbow Dash, “that’s our Fluttershy....kicking off with the hardest one straightaway.”
“Well....they are absolutely wonderful, fluffy companions.....their ears flopping and everything,” he stopped and looked at the leader.
“Continue,” she demanded, giving him that piercing Fluttershy look.
“Errr.....” said the time traveler, thinking fast, “they are mammals who eat grass, well-known for their amazing reproduction rates, also known as bunolagus or romerolagus.”
“Hmmp,” the mare was not impressed, “the next one....”
“Wait wait” the doctor almost shouted, “I am not done, rabbits other than being cute and cuddly balls of fur also pack quite a punch.”
Fluttershy looked up intrigued, this colt was on to something.
“Rabbits,” the doctor continued “are fierce, clever creatures, when threatened. In fact, rabbits in a way represent this organization : you ponies are soft and, well, bunnyish on the outside, but, when threatened, you become amazing and powerful, just like bunnies,” the Doctor concluded with a smug grin.
Fluttershy fixed him with a look that even the Doctor had difficulty meeting, and he had stared at the cold, stony faces of the weeping angels. Slowly Fluttershy opened her mouth and said one word “impressive!”
“Huh, you call that impressive? My answer was 120% cooler!” Rainbow Dash boasted.
“Calm down, Rainbow,” Fluttershy hushed her, “are we asking him any more questions?”
“I will!” shouted Twilight, opening the secret passage and leading in the ponies who were imprisoned down below.
She continued “Erm....dear colleagues of mine....after careful investigation of the dungeon I have come to a relatively uncertain question.....that is.....how come, I went down to save the ponies if the passage lead up?”
Even Pinkie Pie was puzzled, however The Doctor looked at the ponies and simply said just one thing :
“Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.”
The Doctor
Somewhere far away in Canterlot royal castle, two ponies were still sitting in a room with an excellent view over Equestria as the wall had recently been broken. On the other hoof that hole had provided a new, excellent outlook on life.
“Hmmm...something’s off,” said Rory as he shifted in the sofa.
“What would that be?” asked Celestia who was right next to him.
“It’s just one of those days....”
“Do continue....”
“This might sound crazy.....but....I feel....forgotten....”
“Hmmm?”
“The Doctor....always rushing everywhere....forgetting me....”
“I understand, you are safe now, my child.”
“Mmmmm......one moment I am in my bed and the next - I am here.”
“Right.....wanna play Call of the Pony? It’s one of my favorites!” asked Celestia who always had a spare box with an “X” on it.....just in case.
“Ok! Sounds good!”
And so they played!
But wait! There’s more!
Did the Doctor pass or fail?
