Yeah, so this isn't going be a 'love at first sight' story. I'm actually glad it wasn't, since the last story I read about love at first sight ended in...well...everypony dying.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting their muffins back, Turner and the pegasus found a spot outside to enjoy their lunch together. As Time Turner rarely got time to be social due to his busy lifestyle, he greatly enjoyed the company he got with his new little friend. As they ate their lunch, Turner took the time to learn a little about his new friend.
"So you're the local mailmare, huh?" Turner asked.
"Yep. A lot of the mail that goes around this town is delivered by me, and I am proud to say that I delivers then all perfectly."
"HEY! DERPY!" A mare with a blue and pink mane shouted as she walked towards the pegasus. "Lyra was telling me that you sent the package she was expecting to Fillydelphia, again! Please stop being so careless." After making her complaint, the mare walked off.
"Okay, I lied. My track record is less then perfect, but sometimes it looks like there's like 5 of each pony here."
"That's even better then. That means you have room for improvement." Turner said, bring a small smile to her friend's face. "So was that your name? Derpy?"
"Uhh...no...it's actually Ditzy." She answered. "Ponies call me Derpy because...actually, I'd rather not talk about it."
"Oh! Let me guess, it's because of your eyes, right?"
Turner chose his words very poorly at that moment, as Ditzy's, or perhaps Derpy's, eyes balanced out and stared directly at him while a very unpleased look appeared on the pegasus's face. At that point, he realized that he touched a sensitive button.
"Okay, let's talk about something else. I see you've been enjoying those muffins there." Turner said, desperately trying to change the subject.
"OOH, YEAH! I love muffins more then anything!" Ditzy said, suddenly becoming much perkier. "Well, accept my kid of course, but next to her, muffins are the BEST! Blueberry muffins in particular are amazing. Normally I make my own, but today I forgot, so I..."
Ditzy went on and on about her love for muffins, so much so that Turner couldn't even get a word in edgewise. By the time he had finished his last english muffin, Ditzy was still talking. I think Turner has grown very patient over the years since he often has to here me and Clockwork bicker.
"Hey, I just realized. I've been talking all this time and haven't even let you tell me your name yet."
"Oh, that's right. Terribly sorry." He said. "I am Doctor Time Turner of the time ponies."
"Uhh...Doctor Who?"
"Oh, that's right." Turner said quietly to himself. "I completely forgot about giving myself an alias since Master Chronos doesn't like us to share our real names. Mind you it's been so long since I've even had to and even longer since I talked to anyone who isn't Nostalgia, Clockwork, or-"
"Uhh, who are you talking to, Doctor Who?" Ditzy asked.
"What? But you were the one who called me-" Suddenly, a name came to Turner. "I mean, that's right. I-I am...I'm Doctor Whooves. And you said yours is Derp-I mean, Ditzy?"
"Ditzy Doo. It's nice to meet you, Doctor. I hope I get to deliver your mail soon."
"Oh no, I'm afraid I don't live here. In fact, I should probably go back to where I'm staying right now."
"OOH! OOH! You can stay with me while your here! There's no hotels or anything here, so I can't imagine your staying anywhere nice. I promise that my muffins will be the best muffins you'll ever had!"
Turner would've much rather return to the time box that he was given to see what resources he was given, but he knew that Ditzy wouldn't of allowed him to say no. What else could you do.
"Alrighty, Miss Ditzy, I guess I'm staying with you tonight.
"YES! Heehee! Heehee!" Ditzy giggled. "This will be fun! We can can stay up late, swap stories, and in the morning..."
"Oh, will we have waffles?" Turner asked.
"Well, I was thinking I'd bake you my muffins, but waffles sounds nice too."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was at that point that Turner and Ditzy became good friends, since Ditzy was generous enough to offer a complete stranger. As she walked her new friend to her home, Ditzy gave a little tour around Ponyville to help him be more familiar with where he was going to stay, which is always good when you're new in town.
"By the way, what kind of doctor are you?" Ditzy asked.
He came up with the alias 'Doctor' Whooves on a whim and didn't think much further then that. Technically, he's a doctor in time and relativity, but by orders of Master Chronos, he's not actually allowed to reveal anything remotely related to his job, so on another whim, he thought of a fake profession.
"I am an obstetrician." Turner mindlessly answered.
Obstetrics, the practice of caring for pregnant mares bodies. At that point, he wished he that he thought of the word 'dentist' first, for right away, he was certain that his answer would bite him in the flank later on. He even made a mental note to himself to kick his own butt when he finds the chance to. He found his new friend to be absent minded anyway, so he figured it wouldn't of hurt him anyway.
Or so he hoped.
"Somebody help us!" A dark grey pony shouted as she ran by Turner and Ditzy. "Have you two seen a doctor?"
"What's the matter, Octavia?" Ditzy asked.
"There's a pony in labor! Vinyl is with her, but she need a doctor!"
"Oh my gosh!" She said, then turned to Turner. "You said your a doctor, and I'm not sure what kind your are, you don't suppose you can help, can you?"
"W-what? B-but wait!" Turner said in horror.
"Oh, we're getting desperate anyway." Octavia said as she grabbed Turner. "You're coming with me."
"WAIT WAIT WAIT!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some time later, after being mentally scarred by his lie, Ditzy brought the 'Doctor' to her home. At that point, she felt embarrassed for the Turner and started to think less of him. Personally, I felt bad for him after what he had to go through with.
"You know, if you were going to make up things like being a doctor, you could've at least faked it well." Ditzy said.
"I AM a doctor, just not that particular kind of doctor. Besides, that baby girl came out no problem, didn't she? In fact, maybe I should be that kind of doctor." Turner said, recovering from his experience surprisingly fast.
"Uhh...whatever your real job is, don't quit." Ditzy said, not being overly amused by her new friend anymore. "Anyway, home sweet home."
At last, they made it inside Ditzy's house. The first thing that came to mind when Turner walked in though was that...well, he would've seen the how as charming, I myself would call it dull. It looked fairly old on the inside and not the best maintained home, but at the same time, Turner felt it was much more of an eye pleaser then the time box. Sort of a poor pony house.
"This...certainly is nice." Turner said.
"Well, considering I'm raising a little girl on a mailmare salary, it actually is pretty nice, but it's all we really need anyway." Ditzy answered.
"Oh, that's right! I remember you said you had a daughter. Where is she now? If she's anything like her mother, I'm sure it will be a pleasure to meet her."
"Mama, is that you?" A voice said from upstairs.
"Oh, Dinky's already here." Ditzy said. "We're down here, muffin!"
Much to Turner's surprised, Ditzy's daughter was already home. As he thought nothing of it before, Turner didn't know what to expect from seeing Dinky. After hearing her mother's voice, a little filly came running down the stairs to greet her Mom and her new friend. She reached the bottom of the stairs with a big smile on her face. Much to the surprised of Time Turner, despite Ditzy being a pegasus, Dinky was actually a young unicorn.
"Doctor, this is my little muffin, Dinky. Dinky, this is Doctor Whooves. Still don't know if he's a real doctor, but that's his name anyway."
"Hiya Doc!" Dinky said.
"Your daughter's a unicorn? Brilliant!" Turner said with a smile . "I absolutely LOVE unicorns! Why a friend of mine is a unicorn and I'm jealous of her for it, and now YOU'RE a unicorn and I'm jealous of YOU now!"
Turner took an immediate liking to Dinky since he always held unicorn in high regards, so it didn't took him long before he lifted Dinky up in the air and spun her around for her amusement. Ditzy was thrown off a little but by what happened, but didn't care much since her little girl was amused by it.
"Derpy, my friend, you clearly have a very nice little girl!" Turner said happily.
"Um, my name is-"
"She looks like she's been well taken care of. A well groomed blond mane, shiny...violet...coat..."
Suddenly, the smile on Time Turner's face was wiped clean off of his face. After a realization came to him, he took a closer look at his new little friend. A blond mane, a light-violet coat, a unicorn, and still being a little filly. Every little detail about the child he was playing with matched perfectly to the description he was given by the master. He could've had a small sense of doubt, but after such a close look on the filly, he knew for certain that his suspicion was correct.
In less then a day since coming to Ponyville, he had the filly he was tasked to look for right before him, and she's the daughter of his new friend.
