Twilight and Moondancer were in Twilight's castle in Ponyville, laughing. Ever since Moondancer agreed to give friendship another shot, she and Twilight had begun to meet up every Sunday. Originally, their friends accompanied them, but quickly realized that it was better to leave Twilight and Moondancer alone to catch up.
Of course, them not understanding advanced quantum physics helped make that decision.
Moondancer pushed up her glasses. "Twilight, I would like to thank you for getting me to try friendship again. Its been wonderful."
Twilight beamed. "I'm glad to hear it."
"I just wish our other friends were here," said Moondancer
Twilight smirked, remembering her friends looks when they started discussing all the things she and Moondancer learned from the books they had read. "They can sometimes have a hard time relating to us."
"Know anypony who can?"
Twilight thought for a moment. "Actually, yes. And he should be here any minute now."
As if on cue, there was a knock on the door. Twilight and Moondancer walked to the door and Twilight opened it with her magic. Outside stood an earth pony. He had a light brown coat and a dark brown mane and had a hourglass for a cutie mark. He also wore a white collar with a green bow tie.
"Ah, Twilight! Good day! Who's your friend?" he asked.
Twilight smiled. "Good morning! Moondancer, meet Time Turner. Time Turner, meet Moondancer."
Time Turner took Moondancer's hoof and shook it. "Hello Moondancer! Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you, Time Turner," said Moondancer.
"Please, my friends call me The Doctor. No idea why." He turned and kissed Twilight affectionately on the fore head, just to the side of her horn. "I call me the Doctor too." He turned back to Moondancer. "Still no idea why."
Twilight smiled at his eccentric behavior. "I have the books you wanted to borrow Doc. Come in"
Time Turner, the Doctor, entered. "Well then. Alonss y!"
Moondancer looked at Twilight. "Who's he?"
"Oh, one of my friends here in Ponyville. Trust me, he's really, really smart."
They all entered the main room, where Twilight and her friends usually met when dealing with official friendship business. The map was currently switched off, and was just a table.
"Twilight, where did you get the bits to afford a holographic projector? They cost a fortune!" asked Time Turner
"It came with the castle," replied Twilight
"So you just got a free holographic projector? That's not fair! I want one!" said Time Turner.
Moondancer looked at him. He did seem smart, given he was able to notice the holographic projector while it was off when Twilight's friends apparently thought it was magic while it was on. Maybe this was an opportunity to make a new friend.
It was an hour after they had met the Doctor, and Moondancer was laughing. Hard. He never knew anypony could be so charming. This Doctor pony was smart, eccentric, funny, witty, likable, and kind.
and very good looking
Moondancer frowned. Where had that thought come from? She had just met this pony.
Twilight noticed the frown. "Something wrong Moondancer?"
"Oh, um, nothing. I'm fine."
The Doctor took a sip from the tea he had made for all three of them. " So, Miss Moondancer, your read a lot of books correct?"
"Yea," replied Moondancer.
The Doctor smiled. "Okay"
Moondancer was confused, then realized that he was probably quoting a book. She ran through every book she had read in her head, trying to remember where the word "Okay" would be important enough that it alone would suffice as a quote. Then she smiled and replied.
"Okay"
The Doctor smiled. "Good job. Didn't expect you to get that."
Moondancer saw the challenge and accepted it. "Hit me with another one. I read a lot."
The Doctor thought for a moment, putting his hoof to his chin. Then he smiled. "After all this time?"
Easy. "Always," she replied. She then decided to counter with her own quote. "Does this mean you’re going to make love to me tonight, Christian?"
At this, The Doctor blushed and stuttered. "W-well, um, uh, fhsfjhgjhflasefnsg," he said, falling into gibberish.
Moondancer smirked. "Oh, so you've read it. Did you enjoy it?"
The Doctor was at a loss for words. "Um, uh, well, yes-NO! No I didn't! I mean I haven't read it!"
Twilight looked at the two of them, surprised. She had never seen Moondancer flirty, and had never seen Time Turner become flustered. This entire situation was new. But Moondancer seemed to be enjoying herself, so she decided it was alright.
Moondancer was having fun. She didn't know why she was having fun, she had never taken pleasure in flirting before. But she was having fun, and that was enough for her. Plus, she was flirting at a very smart, very attractive pony, so why shouldn't she enjoy herself?
The Doctor was still stuttering.
"Well, I-I should be off! Um, th-thank you Twilight for the books. Thank y-you Miss Moondancer for the, um, t-the, yeah, thanks." And with that he rushed out the door.
Twilight closed it and looked at Moondancer. "What was that?"
Moondancer smiled. "Something new."
The Doctor rushed back to the TARDIS. He opened the door, closed it, dropped of his books, and went to the bathroom to fill up the bathtub.
He then proceeded to dunk his head into the water.
When he resurfaced, he ran his hands through his mane. That Moondancer interested him. She was witty, curious, smart, and very well-read.
And very beautiful.
