// Story: The Adventures of Flux Capacitor from Gallifrey

I've always had a backstory for every single one of my characters, where everything ties together. But none of my characters have such a rich backstory as Flux Capacitor. So, over the course of however long it takes to tell this story, I'll try to post one part of the story at most and at least every week.

Gallifrey
Flux's name isn't Flux. She also is not a timepony, she's a timelord. As in human-looking timelords.
A time tot, just 7 years, has already been assigned what she will do as a Gallifreyan. She is one of the lucky few children who will master in time travel, hence her name, the Traveler. Sadly, her twin brother will major in a different job. Her brother's name is the Engineer. You can imagine what his name means. Most stories of twins tell about how close their bonds are, that they go through the thick and thin together. Not Traveler and the Engineer. The Engineer is an absolute HORRID twin brother, always doing what he can to make his twin sister's life terrible. I suppose their job separation isn't so bad after all. The poor Traveler tries to ignore her brother's bad attitude, as she knows how lucky it is that they are twins.


The Traveler is running. From her brother, as she thinks they are playing tag. They are in the Traveler's school for time travel. They run right into the room with a huge metal portal, being studied by many teachers. It looks like a vortex of different shades of violet. The Engineer's mad side takes hold of his mind, and headbutts the Traveler right into the vortex, taking himself as well.

"ENGINEER! What did you do that for?!"
"I just thought it would be a nice twin bonding moment. Being thrust into a whole 'nother dimension, with only each other to survive," he laughs a bit evilly with a smirk on his face. "Only, we won't have each other!" 

He sees a split in the path, and takes the chance to inflict emotional and/or physical pain on his sister. The Engineer pushes the Traveler down the smaller path, hoping it takes her to a horrible place. Little does he know, after all the years of causing his twin's suffering, things will start looking down for him.

The Traveler is thrown out of a temporary portal onto hard wooden floor. As soon as it appeared, the portal disappears, leaving the Traveler stranded in this new dimension. She tries to get up, but struggles. She stumbles, then sees something terrifying. HOOVES. And they're dark grey! She finally concentrates a moment to figure out how her new body works, then stands up with all four of her hooves. She notices how much shorter she feels, it's quite unsettling. The Traveler slowly puts her hooves forward, trying to not be overwhelmed by the two new legs she must to control. She finds her way to a mirror, and is surprised by what she sees. A short, gray mare looks back at her. She has a black, silky top mane, and her neck mane and tail are dark gray, darker than her coat. Her eyes are black as well, quite an unusual eye color. It's all too much to take in at once. The Traveler lets out a scream.
"AHHH! WHAT..WHAT HAPPENED?!" Her screams attract the attention of the only other pony in the house. A pony we will discuss in chapter 2.
