I starred at the blueish-black allicorn, waiting for it to change me into a human. Her horn was glowing blue as she focused her magic.
Luna broke the silence "This will take a while. It's not easy to change something into another species."
Right. Didn't seem to stop you from doing that when I came here.
My vision started getting fuzzy.
Why would you even bring me here, in this form?
A chilling pain ran over my skin.
Are you the one who was running all over my Dreamscape?
I wanted to ask these questions, but couldn't because I was a cat.
Did you miss me, Lookout? I missed you.
Who said that?
Let me help you...
"I almost got it." Luna said.
Suddenly I lost consciousness.
When I came to I felt a beating pain throughout my left arm and onto my back.
When I managed to open my eyes, the first thing I noticed was that I was in the Dreamscape again. The second thing I noticed, was that I was human again.
Why?
Before I could even think of a reason for this, a voice caused me to freeze in sheer terror.
Lookout, Lookout, Lookout, it chided. Its haunting, female voice causing chills up my spine.
Do you really just want to try to explain it all away? Sorry, but that's not happening. its voice sounded like it was coming from the void in front of me.
I sat up and tried to get up, but then I heard it again. It was behind me this time.
You left me Lookout. You left me when you got out. It was right behind me, less than an inch from me. I felt its cold breath on my neck causing the hairs on my neck to freeze. Its voice was so familiar, I couldn't place from where though.
Suddenly, I fell forward on my face. I felt like I just got kicked to the ground.
Why don't you just try to wake up? That's all you did back at the asylum. Oh no.
It couldn't be her. I got rid of that part of my mind. I'm not insane anymore. I'm not!
Oh, but you are. You are very insane. And I intend to make you even worse. words cannot describe how much terror I was in.
I won't tell you who exactly this woman was or what she was talking about, but I will say that this was a part of my mind, from a long time ago, that has caused me so much pain. And I thought I had gotten rid of her along with the rest of my insanity.
I jumped up off the ground and looked behind me. Nothing was there.
You would only kill yourself if you tried. I knew what she meant by that.
She meant that while I was alive, she wouldn't leave me. But I wasn't going to just accept that.
I started running. Running as fast I could. I knew that I couldn't outrun insanity, but I had to at least buy some time to figure out something.
Running away. You must be joking. I heard her voice extremely close to my ear. Her words just bringing panic to my mind.
I felt a sharp pain slice through my left hand as my running faltered. I took a quick glance at my hand, and saw blood running down from a long smooth cut in my palm.
I have had worse injuries in my travels.
And I will make this much worse again it was right behind me.
Another slice, this one on my abdomen. I grasped my side as my running became a fast limp.
This is not going as planned (a very panicked part of my mind thought).
Considering your plan was just; run really fast... This is going just how you planned it. You idiot.
One last slice, this time through my chest. I screamed in pain as my running had slowed to a stop.
At least she wasn't going to psychologically torture me again.
Good to know you can get something right. I felt her appear a little further behind me. I felt her slowly getting closer.
Wake up! I heard her footsteps getting closer and closer.
Wake up! She prepared to do whatever she was planning to do.
Wake up! She was right behind me now. What ever she was about to do, she was going to do it.
I prepared for the worst. Saddened that I would die alone. And I don't even know what Princess Luna was, or what Equestria was. I was about to be killed by my childhood insanity.
WAKE UP! I woke up.
I woke up back in my apartment bed. I hadn't opened my eyes yet, but I could tell that I was lying on my bed. I also noticed that my wounds weren't real because my bed felt dry.
I slowly opened my eyes to see a huge pair of yellow eyes starring at me.
"Oh thank Celestia! Doctor he's awake." I heard a woman's voice say, it sounded very glad that I wasn't dead.
"Of course, Derpy. The man has been in tougher scrapes then some dreams." A very confident voice came from a little farther away. It was British from what I could tell.
"Um, who are you?" I asked the lady that was standing over me.
"Oh, I'm..." She began but was cut off by the British man.
"This, Lookout, is my newest assistant, Derpy Hooves. She is a Pegasus." He said.
I lifted my head off the pillow and looked to see what he was talking about. The lady was wearing a grey jersey and blue jeans. She also had golden blonde hair.
I looked over to my bedroom door to see a man in a brown coat wearing a Fez.
I gave him a puzzled look then got out of bed.
"Something wrong, Lookout?" He said.
I quickly checked all over my body to see if I still had any of the cuts I was given. Nothing.
I stayed silent for a bit, processing my surroundings.
Eventually I worked up the nerve to say something.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" I asked in a defensive tone.
The man looked like I just slapped him in the face.
"How-what... Lookout..." He was looking for something to say.
"Lookout, after all the adventures we had, you just forgot me?" He said in an annoyed tone.
He sighed "You remember me? I'm the Doctor." He said.
"I've met the Doctor before, and you look nothing like him." I said in a matter-of-fact way.
He cleared his throat and said "I have regenerated since then." He said this in a very serious tone.
I thought about it for a bit and was about to say something else, when he then said "We need to hurry up, so Allons y. And save your questions for later Lookout." He and Derpy walked out of the room, and I followed. I was shocked to see something that immediately destroyed any previous suspicions I had.
In the middle of my living room, was The TARDIS in all its glory.
The door opened to show the Doctor and Derpy waiting.
"Well Lookout, let's go." The Doctor smiled.
I also smiled as I walked in the TARDIS and closed the door.
The Doctor then pulled all the levers, and the TARDIS was off, with us inside.
I couldn't wait to see where we were going. And maybe the Doctor would be able to help me with all what had just happened.
