Dr. Hooves and Colgate stepped outside of the theater. ''I have to go now, Doctor. I hope to see you improve on
your time traveling by tomorrow.'' Colgate advised. 

She left out of sight. The Dr. Hooves began to wonder where he would be sleeping. All he could think of was a park bench. So there he slept. In the coldness of the night.

Hooves wrapped a newspaper around him for warmth. As he turned around in the bench, he saw a police box. it
kind of looked like Tardis and couldn't help but go inside.

As he entered, he heard a robotic speaking voice in his background. ''Dr. Hooves, is that really you?'' Tardis said.

''Of course, I knew this was my police box. I can't believe I'm back inside of you!'' Dr. Hooves exclaimed. 

''I'm not the only one here.'' A ghost like figure cam out of the phone.

''Who is this?'' Hooves asked the figure. 

''I am the ghost of your present.'' said the ghost,'' I am here to show you what you've done wrong, my little pony.''

Hooves got scared and wanted to run away. But the ghost caught his tail. Back at Derpy's house, Dinky was eating some stew in tears. '' Dinky, do you want some more stew?'' Derpy asked as she poured meat into the pot. 

''No it's fine,'' Dinky replied,''I just want daddy Hooves back. It's just not the same without him here.''

''I also want him back. I can't believe I agreed for him to leave us.''

They heard a knock on the door. She went to go answer the door but, nobody was there. There was another knock
on the door but as she turned around, the pony was still gone. Or was it a pony?

On the ceiling, Dr. Hooves and the ghost were there. ''You see, there looking for you. They want you back.'' said the  ghost, ''You see what you've done to your family?'' The ghost started to wander off. 

''Where are you going?'' Dr. Hooves asked. 

''I'm only the ghost of your present, not the future. You can call me Anaphylak meaning guard. I guard your present time.''

Phylak took out a knife and handed it to Dr. Hooves. He wondered what it was really for. ''You'll need this for your future. You have  a bloody adventure ahead of you.''

Hooves entered Tardis. ''Tardis, the ghost named Anaphylak needs me to go to the future. I need to save my family.''

''Anaphylak, you say?'' said the police box,'' We are best friends. Until he said that he was immortal so that I can't see him forever.''

Dr. Hooves pressed the button to start Tardis back up. As he was about to press the button, he saw a pile of muffins in a bag in the corner.

This reminded him of Derpy Hooves and Dinky Hooves. He wish he'd never left but he ignored the pain. He pressed the button and knew he was ready for Anachronist, The Ghost Of The Future.
