The Next Day
The sun had been up for a few hours when Turner knocked on the library door. He was almost immediately greeted with, “Sorry, but we’re closed for the day.”
“It’s just me, Miss Sparkle,” he replied. After a few seconds, the doorknob glowed bright purple and the door opened. Turner stepped inside. The first thing he noticed was that the stench was gone. The second was Twilight sitting near the center of the room, her face partially buried in a book, though still looking up at Turner.
“Just wanted to see how you were doing,” he said.
Twilight sighed. “As well as can be expected.” There was a brief pause. “Do you know what the most draining part was? It wasn’t that I was kidnapped or that they were… exploiting me, as best as I understand it. It was just… them. Those creatures shouldn’t even exist under any stretch of the imagination, and yet there they were.”
“Trust me,” Turner responded, “there’s more to that statement than you realize.”
“And then there’s that,” Twilight continued. “You said you weren’t really what you claimed to be. You actually knew what they were and what was happening. And you had that… thing that made the noise and… Just who are you?”
“I said I would tell you, Twilight,” Turner stated. “But I can’t tell you everything; just enough to help you understand.” He paused until Twilight nodded for him to continue. “I come from very far away, farther than even you can imagine, on another world entirely. All I want to do with my life is experience everything the universe has to offer. Do you understand me?” Twilight nodded slowly and uncertainly. “But make no mistake; if there’s one thing that has been entirely true, it’s my character. Everything you’ve seen with me is one hundred percent what I’ve always been. Besides, what estranged offworlder would take the time to read the Lightning Strike series?” Twilight giggled at this.
“You know what?” she started. “I think I can find a better reason to trust you, whether you’re actually and alien or not. When you talk to me, and I mean really talk, like we’re doing now, you actually call me Twilight, not Miss Sparkle.” She smiled at him. “I think that’s as good a reason as any.”
Turner returned her smile. “Well, since I’m here, you wouldn’t happen to have the second Lightning Strike, would you?”
“Actually, I figured you’d want to read that, so I’ve had this reserved for you for a few days now.” Using her magic, she pulled a book from the central desk. “I’ll just mark this as checked out later.” Turner looked at the title: Lightning Strike and the Stable of Secrets.
“Thank you Miss Spa… I mean, Twilight.” Turner barely caught himself in time.
“My pleasure, Turner.” Having said their goodbyes, the stallion walked out of the library.
Derpy was waiting for him outside. “So how is she?”
“Better than I would have thought,” Turner answered. “She was well enough to let me borrow this, at least.” He held up the book for her to see.
“Good to hear. You know, you’re a good friend, Turner, helping innocent ponies like that.”
“Just doing my good deed for the day. Besides, whether it be you girls, Twilight, or just some stranger, I can’t, and won’t, let anyone suffer needlessly.”
“And that’s why I say you’re a good friend,” Derpy concluded. She looked at the book. “I really do love this series. You’re gonna love the part where Lightning fights the—!”
“Oi! Derpy! Spoilers!” Turner shouted hysterically. Derpy just laughed.

Spoilers indeed. STM said the whole narrative will change and he does not disappoint!!!! GFNM!!!!!!!
3529139 Ummmmmmmm. STM?
GFNM? 
Could someone please explain to me what the hay you're talking about?
3529284 Stephen MOFFAT said that he'd change the basic premise and he did....that's because Gallifrey falls no more. (All thirteen Doctors freeze Gallifrey in time to make it look as if it had been destroyed. Rassillon and his mob are dead while the noncombatants are playing a longish game of statues while waiting for Twelve to find them.)
will you be making more stories involving the alternate 6?
3555100 As soon as I can figure out what the next story will be.
Which will take a while.

"The best trick the Doctor ever pulled, was convincing himself and the entire universe, that Gallifrey had fallen"
but anyway you know what surprises me...is that no one had ever been surprised that gallifreyins have the technology to revive the dead.....they revived the master, rassilon and countless other famous time lords during the war and that was without using time travel
3555256 What about the Alternate 6 encountering the Daleks? Or the Cyber... what the hell would Cybermen be called in this 'verse? Either that or have a special where the Doctor regenerates and the Alternate 6 have to deal with the fact that Time Turner now looks a hell of a lot different.
3583670 In time.
3587684 Either that or The Canterlot Wedding, Alternate 6 version.
3555256 them vs discord!!!! Then make it after he shows up, vinyl saying, what was that about you promising no jigsaw ponies a few weeks ago? I'd definitely read that.
4710265 4710286 Honestly, I didn't think anyone would get that.
Have a prize: five moustaches!
3583670 I think the Cybermen might be called Cyberpoines or something to that effect.
3555256 do more please this is great!
6232568 Have you read the previous story? It goes into more detail. And yes, this Doctor's backstory was meant to recall to the Second/Third Doctor's regeneration.
