The Filly & The Changeling

Cadance POV (part 2)

Cadance stepped into the TARDIS and was in awe for the first time in a very long time.
"It's bigger on the inside..."said Cadance in awe
"Yes yes gallifreyan technology," said the Doctor in a hurry,"now you must be wondering why i brought you here. Simple really you or rather future you created a space hole and i need you well past you to fix it."
"Why can't you do it?" asked Cadance
"Because you made it such that only you can fix it," said the Doctor
"Why would i do that?" asked Cadance
"So that no creatures you banished using it would stay where you banished them forever. Now normally this wouldn't be a problem since you made it such that it doesn't affect anything else. However, it has gotten larger and larger and the part of the spell where you made it such that it doesn't affect anything else is gone." explained the Doctor
"Then why don't you get future me to help you instead of me?" asked Cadance
"Because future you is dead." the Doctor said bluntly
"Wait then doesn't that mean that i'll die too?" asked Cadance
"Did they never teach you anything in magic school?" asked the Doctor," its easier to undo a spell than to use one just like its easier to destroy an object rather than build or repair it. Maybe that's why the daleks like to exterminate stuff so often."
"Daleks?" asked Cadance
"Nevermind, the point is that undoing the spell won't kill you. It'll leave you exhausted sure but it won't kill you." said the Doctor
"Are you sure?" asked Cadance
"Nope," replied the Doctor," but if you do die then you'll disrupt the time continuum and we'll have a whole new set of problems."
"That doesn't make me feel any better," said Cadance
"It shouldn't it was meant to make sure that you don't fail," said the Doctor," and we're here."
As the Doctor and Cadance stepped out of the TARDIS, Cadance saw a world being torn apart by a massive hole which was shining brighter than the sun and hurt to look at.
"Welcome to your future!" the Doctor said
"Doesn't look fun," replied Cadance unenthusiastically.
"And this is just the beginning," said the Doctor sadly
"Tell me Doctor have you dealt with space holes before?" asked Cadance
"Yes...very unpleasant," said the Doctor
They continued to walk in silence for the rest of the journey.
"There it is," pointed the Doctor
Technically it was everywhere but what the Doctor meant was that it was mostly concentrated at this particular area.
"Well here goes nothing," said Cadance as she charged up her horn
Cadance fired a simple undoing spell hoping that her future self had set the spell to not blow up were the undoing spell to fail. Cadance noticed dark patches growing in her eyes as she suddenly collapsed onto the ground as she drifted into unconsciousness.
Cadance woke up in her bed with Shining Armour shaking her
"Hey you've been asleep the whole morning did you drink alot last night?" asked Shining Armour concernly
"um... yeah sorry about that," replied Cadance
"No worries you best rest a little more you look like you'll need it," said Shining Armour
"Okay," replied Cadance.
When Shining Armour left the room, Cadance reached behind her and pulled out the letter that was itching her back. It read:
Dear Cadance, By the time you read this letter, Equestria has been saved thanks to you. Unfortunately you fell unconscious as soon as the spell was completed. So i had to haul you all the way back here and put you in bed about five minutes after you left with me.

P.S sorry you had to learn of your death this way. There was no other way i could have saved Equestria.

Your friend,
The Doctor
