It should work // Story: Doctor Whooves Stories: Episode 6: Touch of an Angel // by puropogo //------------------------------// Chapter 4: It should work 7th July 502 C.E., 12:00 p.m., The Princess Castle, Interior of the Castle, Everfree Forest. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and the Doctor ran through the interiors of the old castle, trying to not be seen by the creatures that were chasing them. They found out an alley and hide there, where they could avoid the windigos for a while. “Ok, those are windigos, right?” Rainbow asked. “Yes, but we are safe here.” Pinkie said. “By now. Let’s hope no other sound will bring those windigos attention again.” The doctor said to the girls. CRACK “What did I just say? Let’s go!” “Where?” “Where that crack sound came from. It may be one of your friends.” 7th July 1002 C.E., 7:00 p.m., The Princess Castle, Entrance, Everfree Forest. “RAINBOW!” Pinkie Pie screamed. “RAINBOW! PLEASE RAINBOW!” “Stop doing that, Pinkie!” Twilight said. “BUT I MISS RAINBOW!” “We won’t find her if you continue to scream.” Applejack said. “But I miss her.” Pinkie cried. She felt sad and worried about one of her best friends disappearance. Her mind was full of questions: ‘Is she alright? Is she safe? Is there something that can hurt her? Where is she?’. She started to sob quietly, until she felt a hug from Derpy. “She must be with the Doctor. He will keep her safe. I’ll promise we’ll find her.” “Thank you Derpy.” “Talking about the Doctor…“ Twilight said before being interrupted by Rarity. “Is he cute, isn’t it?” “What?” “Well, that’s obvious, where did he take you first?” “To a bakery in the future.” “A bakery? How was the bakery?” “Excuse me?” “It was a high class bakery or a regular bakery? I can imagine a good date on that?” “A date?” “Well, where did your boyfriend…” “BOYFRIEND?” Derpy screamed. “THE DOCTOR IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!!” *quick author note: Yep, that happened. Derpy and the Doctor are just friends. * “Derpy!” Twilight said. “Be quiet or…” She was cut off when she saw an angel in front of them. “Keep looking at it. Don’t take your eyes out of it.” “I’m scared, I’m scared.” “Relax Rarity. As long as someone is watching it, the angel became a statue.” “That’s good, because I don’t want to-” “Don’t want to what?” Twilight asked. “Rarity?” “T-t-t-t-TWILIGHT!” Pinkie Pie screamed. “ANOTHER ANGEL! ANOTHER ANGEL!” “Two weeping angels? Keep watching them.” “How are we going to pass them?” “Twilight?” Spike said. “What about the teleportation spell?” “I can’t teleport the angels! They are too big and heavy to cast that kind of spell at them.” “What about us?” “I don’t know where to teleport us” “Anywhere but here!” 7th July 502 C.E., 12:30 p.m., The Princess Castle, Interior of the Castle, Everfree Forest. Rarity soon found herself in the middle of the castle. From one of the cracks of the walls she could tell it was noon. That scared her because she remembered that it was evening when the statue… “Oh, oh my, I can’t- I can’t- I- BREATHE!” She was about to collapse, when accidentally knocked out a mirror. “Oh.” Suddenly she heard growls coming to her direction. “Oh no.” She tried to run, but she was somehow so exhausted that she could barely move. As she was about to scream, a rainbow appeared in front of her and, in a flash, she found herself now in front of Pinkie, Rainbow and the Doctor. “That was fast!” The Doctor said. “No living creature is faster than me.” Rainbow boasted herself. “Then, why are you here?” The Doctor replied to her comment, that made Rainbow look backward. “Just kidding, we all make mistakes.” “Doc-Doc…” “Relax for a moment. Thank God Rainbow was fast enough to save you from the windigos.” “Windigos?” “Yep, the Doctor and us are running from them.” Pinkie explained. “Wait, what are you doing here Pinkie? Did those creatures touched you?” “Not long after Fluttershy.” Pinkie said. “Fluttershy?” Rainbow asked. “Is she here?” “I don’t know.” The Doctor said. “But we should keep moving. Those creatures are fast.” “Wait, Doctor!” Pinkie exclaimed. “We were here! Or we will be here. How it is supposed to say?” “Mmm, you were here. It’s your past, you should say it in past tense, sweetheart.” Rarity said. “Thanks. But I was saying we can put a message or something to Twilight and Derpy.” “Excellent idea, Pinkie!” The Doctor exclaimed. Then grabbed a metal stick from the ground and started to scratch a wall. “What are you writing?” “Something I hope Derpy would notice.” 7th July 1002 C.E., 7:10 p.m., The Princess Castle, Throne Room, Everfree Forest. Twilight focused so hard on the spell that they ended up away from the angels, and at the former throne room of Princess Celestia. “Well done.” Spike said. “Well done?” Twilight asked. “How can you call that ‘well done’? Rarity disappeared, as Rainbow, and we have no idea where they are or where that box is!” “Twilight! You must see this!” “I had see the throne before, Derpy. We were here.” “No, these marks on the wall!” Derpy pointed to some marks at one of the walls. “The marks, must be…” “The Doctor! He’s helping us from the past!” “Wait Derpy!” Twilight stopped her. “Let me see what wrote the Doctor.” ‘DOCTOR HERE! ALSO RAINBOW, RARITY AN’ “And what?” Pinkie asked. “I don’t know, but it seems that Rainbow Dash and Rarity are with the Doctor.” Fluttershy said. “What’s next?” Spike asked. ‘CLAP YOUR HO’ “Clap your ho-?” Derpy said. “Doctor, don’t play with us. We don’t have time.” “Ahhh!” Fluttershy screamed. “Oh, no, not another one.” 7th July 502 C.E., 12:40 p.m., The Princess Castle, Interior of the Castle, Everfree Forest. ‘DOCTOR HERE! ALSO RAINBOW, RARITY AND PINKIE’ “That way, Twilight and the others will see that you are alright and safe with me.” The Doctor explained to them. “Wait, there’s something strange on that thing.” Pinkie said. “What?” The Doctor said after he finished writing the second line. “When I first saw it, there were things missing from the message. And the message looked like this.” Pinkie grabbed the metal stick and scratched the wall, deleting her name and part of the second line. “Like this, but now, it look like… this.” Pinkie Pie realised what she has done, putting a hoof on her head. “Paradox solved, you destroyed the message that I sent to them. Maybe I can fix something.” But before the Doctor could do that, they heard a scream from the foyer. “Oh no. That’s Fluttershy!” Rainbow said. “And she is in danger!” “Let’s go!” 7th July 1002 C.E., 7:15 p.m., The Princess Castle, Throne Room, Everfree Forest. “Fluttershy!” Twilight screamed to her friend, who was using her stare to the angel. “Ok, listen to me. You will leave us alone and you and your friends won’t attack us. Is that understood?” Fluttershy calmly ordered to the angel. She walked backwards some feet before talking to the statue again. “When I turn my head, I don’t want you to see me. Ok?” She walked backwards some more, and then turned her head to see the statue in the same position. “Why it didn’t move?” Spike asked. “Because you are watching it.” Fluttershy said. “I need to you to stop looking at him.” “What? Are you nuts?!” Pinkie said. “Trust me!” Twilight and her friends looked each other, then turned their heads to the other side. “Just one second, Flutters.” “See?” Fluttershy spoke to the angel. “Now, I want you to do the same thing. Ok?” She turned her head, and when she turned her head back, she saw the angel in front of her, scaring her and making her scream. “Fluttershy!” “I don’t get it! The stare should work, the stare should work!” Fluttershy keep saying to herself. “But nothing in this world is capable of resisting that!” Pinkie said. “It’s because they are not from this world.” Derpy said. “They are from the Doctor’s universe.” “I can hear his friends.” Fluttershy said. “They are coming.” “We should go” Twilight said. “No. YOU should go.” Fluttershy said. “What are you saying?” “I can keep my stare on them. It won’t intimidate them, but at least it would stop them.” “Those things will catch you! I don’t want to lose another friend!” “You won’t unless you find the TARDIS. I’ll be safe, I’m going to be with Rainbow, Rarity and the Doctor.” “But-” “JUST GO!” Fluttershy used for a moment the stare on her friends. “Fluttershy!” They began to run, with tears on their eyes, worried about Fluttershy sacrifice. “I’m sorry guys.” Fluttershy muttered, feeling tears on her eyes while she was hearing the angels coming. She didn’t noticed how the room was getting darker, as the only light in the room was fading slowly.
