The Weeping Pegasus

Epilogue

“Make sure to bring Bon-bon by at some point. With all those sweets, I just need to make sure her teeth are still healthy,” Colgate said to Lyra as she was getting out of the chair.

“Will do.”

“Keep up the good work Lyra, your teeth look really good.”

“Thanks.” Lyra paid Colgate for the check up and left.

Colgate sighed. “It’s been two weeks. I’m bored beyond belief. I just wish The Doctor would come back…” She went to the back of the store and began to organize her tools, just to occupy her mind. Not a moment later, the door opened. “I’ll be right with you!” shouted Colgate from the back. She made her way to the front desk, only to come across a group of ponies she was not entirely familiar with. “Hello. Do any of you have an appointment, or are you here to make one?”

The mare looked at her long and hard, as if she was examining Colgate. “Not exactly.” Her voice was almost a bit too happy. The other ponies around her said nothing.

“Then what can I help you with? You do realize that I am a dentist, right?”

“Yes, yes. We know who you are, Miss Colgate. Now, if you could please answer a few questions for us.”

Colgate began to get very suspicious, but refused to let it show. “What kind of questions?”

“We want to know about The Doctor.”

Colgate definitely knew that something was wrong now. Ordinary ponies don’t go around asking about The Doctor. He was kind of important, and she would do her best to protect him. “I’m sorry, but I’m the only doctor here. Remember? Dentist?”

“Look, I’m sorry but I don’t have time for this.” The mare signaled to one of the stallions next to her, and he slammed Colgate against the wall, pinning her there with his hoof. “Like I said. Tell us about The Doctor.”

“I…don’t know…what you’re talking about…”

The mare was clearly getting frustrated. “Yes you do. We saw you gallivanting around Ponyville with him a few weeks ago during that storm. Tell us what you know.”

“This…can’t be legal. I will get the sheriff after you.” Colgate was beginning to feel the pain of being crushed against the wall.

“Let her go.” The stallion released his hoof from Colgate’s chest, and she collapsed on the ground. “Look at me, Colgate. Let me tell you something. You are going to tell us what we want. Our authority goes beyond the police. Beyond even Celestia herself. We exist to protect Equestria from…threats not of this world. Of which The Doctor is one.”

Colgate looked at the mare, puzzling over what she had just said. “Who are you?”

“We…are Torchwhoof.”

woah. Shit just got real.
Edit: Also, First!

You were right, so very right, all the anticipation, the long nights trying to figure out what could be so awesome to elicit such excitement from you:
dat last line, now if you'll excuse me, I have to clean the walls of my room, and the ceiling, and every other surface due to your awesomeness.

Note to Torchwhoof: you guys aren't exactly the most genre-savvy bunch out there, are you?

This is Equestria. Arrogance and thuggery ('authority beyond even Celestia'...yeeeeaaah, sure) will ultimately just come back to bite you in the collective plot.

And if you ever do meet the Doctor, you may want to ask him what happened to the original Torchwood. You know, the one that's not actually starring in the eponymous spinoff series for a reason...

somehow i knew that they would be torchwood

539015 Thank you. I try.

532875 Whoa there. Calm down. No need to start a riot.

532808 I tried to warn you.

Heh. No riot intended; I'm just not a fan of "man in black" types in general. They're always just another bunch of cover-up specialists with their own agenda and suspciously flimsy excuses for what they do in the best case (the eponymous MiB in the movies and animated series of yore are at least presented as quasi-heroic protagonists actually putting in the hours to keep the world safe, and even they're on pretty shaky moral and ethical ground once one stops to really think about it -- erasing people's memories just to keep them from finding out the inconvenient truth simply has to be a violation of basic human rights just for starters), and don't get me started on the worse ones.

[Goholite]

Yay! Torchwhoof!

[4n4rchy]

Heh.
Oh, Doctor, always messing about with royalty.
And considering they are based over the Coltdiff rift (geddit?) they probably do hold more power than Celestia. Just sayin'.
So, what's next? Captain Jack Harkness? Daleks stealing the earth? A tea party?
Whatever you do, I have a pretty good feeling about it. And perhaps later we'll see the Silence, along with River Song? Or perhaps even K-9 and Romana! Or best of all, one of the guardians of time themselves...
My dear friend the Doctor's adventures are limitless and I trust you to chronicle them.
Torchoof... Heh... That'd be an interesting reunion...

Red Guardian out!

[Eighth Note]

Is there going to be a sequel for this?? ( with torchwhoof )

You know, I've been meaning to write more Doctor Whooves after finishing the story that is....well it's not really in progress anymore. Plus I've been pretty busy lately with working on a novel, but I think I'm gonna go ahead and start soon on a new Doctor Whooves story here on FiMFiction.

Torchwhoof? interesting pony-ization.
