Ponyville, 3 years ago
A green stalion, then-17 years old, exited the train from Manehatten, his name was Sky Sprinter, he lived there for a couple years after his parents sent him to “experience life away from Cloudsdale,” along with his then-12 year old Green Pegasus sister Stardust, and his then-6 year old Red Pegasus sister Redwind.
They started heading towards the rest of Ponyville when they were greeted by a very enthusiastic, some might say insane young pink Earth Pony mare, she quickly said, “Hello there new ponies! My name is Pinkie Pie! What’s yours?”
All three looked at her as if she was crazy, which she probably was, for 2 minutes before Stardust blinked her eyes and then said, “Um, my name is Stardust Sprinter, the filly to my left is Redwind Sprinter, and the frozen pony to my right is my big brother Sky Sprinter.”
Sky’s eyes regained focus and he shook his head a couple times before saying, “Yes, that’s the three of us.”
Pinkie then immediately said, “Hello Sky, Stardust, and Redwind! You all deserve a ‘Welcome to Ponyville, Sprinter Siblings’ party! The audience demands it!”
This causes Sky to raise his eyebrow, “Audience? There’s no pony out here.”
“Not the ponies, silly,” Pinkie replied, “The ones out there, they’re watching us right now,” she then pointed a hoof towards a space above the ground that didn’t look any different from anywhere else really, then she looked towards that space and said, “Kinda creepy you guys, don’t you have anything better to do than watch us do stuff? Doesn’t it get boring after awhile?”
“Um, there’s nopony over there, Pinkie Pie,” Sky said while Stardust raised her hooves to about ear level and circled them in the, “she’s crazy” sign while looking at Redwind, causing the little filly to giggle. Causing Sky to turn his head towards them and the two immediately stopped.
“Of course there’s somepony right there, you just can’t see them because you don’t have my Pinkie Senses,” Pinkie said matter-of-factly.
“Pinkie Senses?” Sky asked.
“Pinkie Senses allow me to see what happens before it happens, and apparently to see the audience, beware the twitchy tail!” she said before her tail twitched, she pointed a hoof towards Sky and said, “Twitchy tail! Move!” But he didn’t move before a random cloud unloaded all its rain right on top of him plus a few pebbles.
“That’s unusual,” Stardust noted.
“That’s my Pinkie Sense in action,” Pinkie said to Stardust before turning back to Sky, “I told you to move, silly, not stay there and take it.”
“Well, there may be better explanations than some sort of sixth sense, but I won’t pursue it, for now at least,” Sky said, ‘I might have to pursue something later, maybe, after we get settled in then I think that I might, if I had any scientific equipment, oh well, I’m sure somepony will try to figure it out, I’ll love to know what happens to that pony when they do try.’
“Alrighty then! It’s time that I begin planning the party! See you later, all three of you!” Pinkie said before running off.
“Well, that was interesting,” Sky said.
The three were about to continue on when a mare’s voice yelled, “Watch out!” Right before a grey Pegasus mare crashed into the ground in front of them of them.
Sky, worried due to the fact that somepony just crash-landed, said, “Oh my Celestia! Are you ok?”
The grey Pegasus raised her head, revealing that she had crossed, some might say Derpish, eyes, she then replied, “I’m fine, thanks for asking, I just lost focus and, um, this happens a lot actually,”
Sky then noticed numerous letters scattered around the grey mare, “Let me help you with those,” He said as he gathered them up. The two of them plus Stardust gathered up the letters and put them back into the grey mare’s saddle bags.
“Thanks, I’d probably be out of a job if I lost those, more often. Anyways, my name is Derpy Hooves, or you can call me Ditzy, I don’t care much, what’s yours?”
Sky then introduced himself and his sisters before Derpy abruptly said, “Wanna be friends?”
Which caused Sky to say “What?”
Derpy then repeated, “Wanna be friends? The Doctor always tells me that I can never have too many friends, unless they’re Daleks, because ‘Daleks are creatures that are only satisfied with the extermination of other species and following orders.’”
She said that last part with a mocking tone before a stallion’s voice said, “It’s true though, they are quite nasty buggers.” The four ponies turned their head towards the source of the voice, which turned out to be a Brown colored Earth Pony stallion, “Hello to you three, I see you’ve met my-“
“Marefriend!” Derpy said interrupting him.
The stallion nodded his head, “Yes, my marefriend, Derpy Hooves. I shall now introduce myself, I am the Doctor, you may either call me by that name, Doctor Whooves, or perhaps Time Turner, oh yeah, that one is good, considering my cutie mark is an hourglass and I do love my various travels through time, what do you think Derpy?”
Derpy thought for a quick second, “I much prefer calling you the Doctor, because you are my Doctor,” Derpy then hugged the Doctor very tightly,
“Yes, indeed.” The Doctor said happily. He then remembered the three ponies in front of them, “Oh yes, you three, anyways, never trust Daleks and Cybermen and will you be Derpy’s friend, as she asked?”
Sky thought for a moment, “Sure, living in a new place, I think having friends would be great for us.”
the Doctor smiled and said, “Very good, if you have room for one more friend, I’d like to occupy that space, not like how the Daleks tried to occupy many different planets or how the Earth’s Germany occupied much of its surrounding area but the good kind where one is simply in a place, or something like that, oh I know! Occupy like chips occupy the space next to fish, or like bananas at a party.”
“Sure, the more the merrier, right?” Sky replied smiling.
“Indeed.” the Doctor said.
Derpy then asked the Doctor, “Can we show them the-,” before he covered up her mouth with his hoof.
“Not yet, Derpy, now’s not the right time to show them our blue box.” He said. He then turned his head to the Sprinter siblings and said, “No need to worry about what my dear Derpy said, you’ll find out long enough, but please don’t bombard me with questions about it, Pinkie takes up approximately 4.9752% of my day in just questions, she’s quite the observant and intelligent mare, although you don’t usually get that impression with the way she acts at times, but oh well, enough about that subject, Derpy and I will take our leave now, no need in taking up anymore of your time, yes?”
“Oh don’t worry about taking up our time, anytime used speaking with friends is time well spent in my opinion,” Sky said. And with that the Grey Pegasus mare and the Brown Earth Pony stallion went on their way to who knows where, while the three Sprinter siblings continued on their way towards the main area of Ponyville.
Ponyville, Present Day
Sky, now 20 years of age, looked at the sky outside the window of his room, and thought, I remember that day so well, so many friends made that first day, first Pinkie became my friend, then Derpy and Time Turner, then that fantastic party, the emotions were great there, and that cake was delicious too, that Pinkie Pie is definitely a great party mare. He finished that thought before closing the blinds on the window and then a green flash overtook his body, and so the Green Pegasus stallion was replaced by an equally black changeling with green eyes and a green shell. “Too bad they’d never befriend me if they knew who I was, even the Doctor doesn’t know, they wouldn’t understand it” The changeling said before being engulfed in green flames once again with Sky Sprinter emerging from the flames as he walked out of his room, down the stairs, and out of the house to pick up Redwind from school.
