Chapter 6: Who's Theta?

The Doctor felt something from the watch and ran up the stairs. The remainder of the Mane 6 began clamoring to ask Celestia questions.

Celestia held up of hoof. "My Little Ponies, I promise to answer your questions, but we should wait for Twilight to return."

Before anything else could be brought up the Doctor's voice drifted down the stairs. "Princess, I need your assistance."

In the blink of an eye Celestia teleported out of sight and presumably to The Doctor's side. The remaining ponies and dragon frowned over being left with new questions and no answers at all.

Well Spike had been able to keep himself together in Celestia's presence, now he was getting worried about Twilight again. Rarity noticed this and summoned her "fainting couch". She jumped on the couch and the baby dragon curled up next to her. In this almost perfect situation Spike finally began to calm down again. Rainbow Dash, however, was just revving up.

"What the hay is going on with Twilight" she groaned.

"Trixie just used us to get tah her, only natural that she's a bit upset." AJ reasoned.

"Then why won't the Princess tell us what else is going on?" Dash shot back.

"Cause it's probably about Twi. So its only polite that we wait fer her." came AJ's rebuttal.

AJ and Dash continued arguing until it got to the point were Fluttershy took to hiding under Rarity's couch.

Meanwhile, upstairs

The Doctor and Celestia stare at the currently glowing fob watch.

"I've never seen anything like this before. It shouldn't even be possible." Celestia stated.

"Ah but it obviously is. The Rani and Twilight Sparkle have somehow managed to keep up a mental link without direct contact." The Doctor mused.

"Do you have any idea…" Celestia started.

"No, none what so ever." The Doctor stated, the excitement over the prospect of not knowing something evident in his voice. "Nor have I figured out how Rani ended up here."

"Yes, well her plans never did work out exactly as she wanted before, why would that change now." Celestia said.

"No, no they did not." The Doctor agreed.

"Then again, the same could be said for you, Theta." Celestia said slyly.

The Doctor glared at Celestia. "By the way," He started "Why did lie about the dark..." Then he heard a squeak. Both he and Celestia turn to the door in time to see Pinkie poking out of the doorway.

"Who Theta?" asked the pink pony.

The Doctor glares at Celestia who, very un-regally, facehoofs.
