Chapter 1: Visions
7th July 1002 C.E., 7:30 a.m., Sweet Apple Acres, Ponyville.
“Come on sugarcube, you’re getting late!” Applejack was waking up her sister.
“But is July! We don’t have school until September!” Applebloom complained.
“I know, sis, I was talking about helping us in our chores. Come on, don’t be lazy.” Applejack replied. “Plus, you can get your cutie mark-”
“I’m up! I’m up! I’m up!” Applebloom said while she was leaving to the apple trees..
“In hardware. I wanted her to fix the windmill, but she left the other way. Why those girls don’t realise what are their talents?”
When she was leaving her sister’s bedroom she heard a noise. That noise sounded like if something, or somepony, was passing at high speed.
“Is Rainbow Dash awake?" Applejack opened the window. "What is she doing any-”
WHOOOSH
“Derpy?”
7th July 1002 C.E., 7:45 a.m., Rainbow Dash House, Ponyville.
“Dad, I told you, Gilda and me used to be friends, but that’s it.” Rainbow was talking to her father on the phone. “How many times I must tell you that?”
“Look, Rainbow, I don’t care if you like mares, I just don’t want you with someone like her.”
“Dad, come on, I’m not gay.”
“Hey, it’s not bad to be gay, hon. Your aunt has a wife, remember?”
“Dad, I know, it’s just anypony thinks I’m gay just because I’m not too ‘girly’. Why ponies cannot understand that’s how I am?”
“Hey, I never pictured you worrying about what others think. It’s something wrong? It’s Gilda?”
“Dad, for the last time, Gilda and I were-”
WHOOOSH
“Rainbow? Rainbow? Rainbow Dash? Rainbow, are you alright?”
“Dad, I’ve got to hang up, sorry.”
“But, why? Are you alright?”
“Yes, yes, it’s just something, or somepony, broke into my house and destroyed a couple of things. I’ll call you back.”
“Ok, sweetie. But seriously, I don’t want to see you again with Gil-”
Rainbow hung up the phone, and left to follow the gray pegasus.
7th July 1002 C.E., 8:00 a.m., Sugarcube Corner, Ponyville.
“Ok, girls.” Pinkie Pie said in an uncharacteristically soft and calm voice to her friends Rarity and Fluttershy. In front of them there was a big pink souffle. “Now, we have to wait a couple of minutes and then we can enjoy this masterpiece.”
“----”
“What? Fluttershy, I can barely hear you, your voice is already soft and calm, you don’t have to make it softer.”
“Um, okay, I’m sorry, I just think this souffle is a little over the top, if you don’t mind.”
“Oh, sweet heart.” Rarity gave Fluttershy a small hug.,”Don’t worry about-”
“Rarity, you must turn down your voice a lot!” Pinkie Pie scolded her.
“Me? Why me?”
“Your voice is the highest one of the six of us.”
“What? That’s yours!”
“Only when I’m screaming, but not when I’m talking. Now softer!”
“Fine. Hmph.” Rarity softer her voice a little more. “Like I was saying before the interruption,” She glared a moment to Pinkie, then to Fluttershy, “don’t worry about anything. It’s our way to say we are happy that you are ok.”
“Thank you girls.”
“Well, it’s not just that. It’s also because somepony it’s making some cruel rumours about my cooking.”
“Oh, come on darling.” Rarity said. “Nopony would believe that you would do something like-”
WHOOOSH
After the passing of the boom, everypony checked at the souffle.
“Huh, the souffle is fine. You know, for a second I thought that-”
WHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSH
Everyone saw how a rainbow smoke passed through the kitchen and through the window at high speed. The noise made the souffle to explode, covering all of them with the ingredients.
“P-Pinkie? A-Are you alright?” Fluttershy asked, noticing how her friend was getting her face red. “P-Pinkie?”
“I’LL KILL THAT RAINBOW AND I’LL TURN HER INTO A CUPCAKE!” Pinkie shouted while running to the exit.
“No, Pinkie, no!” Both Fluttershy and Rarity were struggling to stop Pinkie to get closer to Rainbow.
7th July 1002 C.E., 8:05 a.m., The Hay Burger, Ponyville.
“Haha, I told you!” A female earth pony with a beige coat and a blue mane with a rose pink streak said to her friend close to her.
“I won’t bet anymore with you!” A female unicorn with a magic mint coat and a cyan mane replied to her while giving her two bits.
7th July 1002 C.E., 8:10 a.m., Golden Oak Library, Ponyville.
“Twilight?” Spike asked to his friend. She had big bags under her eyes, probably because of the lack of dream. “Did you have some sleep?”
“No, Spike.” Twilight replied. “Since last night I haven’t sleep.”
“Are you still thinking about that?”
“I can’t take off my mind. Why that smoke showed us those things? Why did the ground shaken when we were watching it? Where is Derpy? Who is the Doctor?” Twilight said. “I must find Derpy.”
WHOOOSH
“TWILIGHT!!!!!!” Derpy appeared in front of her, breaking the doors of the library.
“What? Derpy, what happened? Are you alright?” Twilight asked to her visitor, until she heard more voices coming from the doors.
“Why did you broke into my house, Derpy?”
“Why did you help Rainbow to destroy my souffle?”
“How did you arrive here? We thought you disappeared.”
“Anyone can help me to stop Pinkie from hurting Rainbow?”
“How you could fly so fast? Wait, was wrong with Pinkie?”
“SILENCE!” Twilight said to everyone in the library. “We are going to talk like civilised ponies. Derpy, you first.”
“Ok, first, I entered into this box, and then, then the computer, and then the gala, the weird light, the war, the, the cybermen, that crazy planet, illionites, daleks, the walking statue… THE DOCTOR IS IN DANGER!” She fainted in front of everyone.
“Derpy!” Everyone gasped. “What should we do?”
“I think she’s just tired. Maybe a nap would be the best for her.” Twilight said.
“And for you too as well, sugarcube.” Applejack added.
“No, I’m fine, really.” She saw the look on Applejack’s face. “I can’t lie to you, well, I’ll take a nap as well. I’ll see you later girls.”
“See you Twily.”
“Good to see you again, Fluttershy.”
“Um, thank you.”
As soon as her friends leave the library, she put Derpy on the spare room, hoping she could answer some questions after she wakes up.
7th July 1002 C.E., 9:00 a.m., Derpy’s mind.
Derpy saw herself in the strange room again, this time she saw herself jumping of that place. She looked back and then she saw something strange. The place she was jumping of was the TARDIS. She turned her head and she saw she was falling from a really high alture. She didn’t know why, but she couldn’t feel her wings, but somehow she didn’t care. She was falling to the ground at a really high speed, but the only feeling she had was peace.
“Freedom… Freedom… Freedom… sometimes I feel like a motherless child.”
