Sunny Knight: a Pony's Tale

by TheothersideofSunny968

The Big Box

It seemed like an average morning as Sunny walked into town. Well, as average as it could be for a small town inhabited by brightly colored magical ponies. Especially in a town where almost anything could happen. But today, Sunny felt confident that today was going to be a good day. It had been a week since he showed Spike the cave where he kept all the items from his life as a prince in the Crystal Empire. But as far as Spike knew, they were from his time serving in the Canrerlot Royal army. For the past week, Sunny had been studying his father's books, but found nothing, or rather, nothing he could decipher. Perhaps it would help if he borrowed a few books from Twilight. But if he did that, she might suspect something.

"Well I can't do that..." Sunny said to himself as he walked into town. "Maybe I could travel into the next town over and check out their library. Yeah! That's what I can do with my free-"

It was at that moment that Sunny's face collided with the muzzle of that belonging to a local pony who's main job was the maintenance of all the town's clocks. The brown earth pony with a spiked mane and tail fell over on his backside and dropped an odd looking device he was caring in one hoof. The device was a metal box with flashing, red lights and two antenna pointing directly at Sunny.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I was kinda distracted" Sunny said as he offered a hoof to Doctor Whooves.

"Oh it's quite alright, I wasn't looking-" the doctor began to say but stopped when he did a double take at Sunny. "YOU! Your a unicorn?! How long have you been that?!"

Doctor Whooves then moved uncomfortable close to the yellow unicorn and began poking at his horn, which made Sunny feel even more uncomfortable. "Ugh... As far as I know, forever. But I just remembered I was one a while ago. Weren't you-"

"THIS IS PERFECT! BRILLIANT!" Doctor Whooves said as he put one hoof around Sunny. "I need you help in what could possibly be the greatest accomplishment OF PONY KIND!!!"

Sunny paused for several moments and looked at Doctor Whooves like he was nuts before asking "ugh... And that would be what, exactly?"

Doctor Whooves smiled at the yellow unicorn as he proudly proposed his idea "A TIME MACHINE!"

Sunny looked confusingly into the sky, wondering what that weird series of sounds were. Doctor Whooves chucked and shook his device with the antenna and flashing lights "Oh sorry, this thing sometimes picks up weird radio signals. Kind of sounds like old style Science fiction television shows, doesn't it?"

"Ugh, yeah..." Sunny replied, not really getting the reference. Before knew what was going on, Doctor Whooves grabbed him by his hoof and started directing him trough town.

Doctor Whooves had practically dragged Sunny back to his lab just south of town hall. It was there that he worked on his many, many inventions, calculated his many equations, researched many topics he found useful or insightful, as well as worked on the town's many clocks. Upon arriving, Sunny's eyes went wide with utter amazement. The many devices and contraptions made the structure and functioning of the bul-dos-ers that almost flattened Sweet Apple Acres months ago, look like nothing more then overgrown children's toys.

"Wow, Doctor Whooves, this is amazing!" Sunny said as he began to wander about the lab.

"Thank you, but all of this is nothing compared to my time machine, well, once it's done that is" Doctor Whooves commented. "And if you wish, feel free to just call me Doctor. And please, never Whooves, Mr.Whooves, or anything of the sort."

"Whatever you say Doc" Sunny said as he approached an odd looking device. It looked like some sort of small cello, but appeared to be hooked up to two large black boxes.

Curious, Sunny picked it up and strung his hoof across it's strings. It made little to no sound. Sunny then twisted a dial on the cello marked 'volume' a couple of notches then strung it's cords again. But nothing happened. Feeling frustrated, Sunny turned the dial all the way to 'Max' and struck his hoof across the cords once more. But still, nothing happened. No sound. Nothing.

"Oh! Here! Let me help you" Doctor said as he walked over and flipped the speakers on. "I've actually just recently picked up playing the guitar. My therapist said I needed a hobby that could help me unwind. I just need to watch the amps. I've tweaked them a bit. And there's a slight possibility of-"

Before the brown earth pony scientist could finish, Sunny strummed the cords of the instrument again. Only this time, a loud vibrating ring echoed through the entire lab as the amps blew out, sending Sunny and Doctor Whooves flying across the room and into a large book case. The book case half fell over with the books landing safely on both Sunny and Doctor.

"...possibility of overload..." Doctor said as he pushed several books off of himself.

Sunny also pushed several books off of him and picked up his Stetson hat that had landed on some sort or brass colored trash can, that also had light bulbs on it. "I'm really sorry Doctor. I can pay you for those."

"Don't worry, my dear boy" Doctor Whooves said as he offered him a hoof. "I'm used to repairing my devices. It gives me the opportunity to make them even better then before!"

After being helped up, Sunny walked with Doctor Whooves to pick up the mess. While Doctor picked up the pieces of the amp and piled them up together to work on when he had a spare moment, Sunny started cleaning up the books. While he did, something caught the eye of the yellow stallion. A few books had fallen open and within their pages were scripts of unknown origin, but they looked surprisingly familiar.

"Hey Doc" Sunny called out. "What are these?"

"Please, Just Doctor, not Doc" Doctor Whooves said as he walked over to the pile of books. Taking a better look, he realized he didn't recognize the books at all. "I don't even remember getting these books. How odd. Maybe Derpy knows."

As if on queue, a certain grey pegasus mare with a wall-eyes stare fell through a window and landed on Doctor Whooves, butt first. When she straitened herself up, she looked around, appearing slightly confused. "Doctor? Where are you? I could have sworn-"

Sunny appeared out of the corner of one of Derpy's eyes and motioned down with his hoof. The town's mail mare looked confused for a moment before looking down and seeing her coltfriend was once again under her. "Hey Doctor! What are you doing under there?!"

"Derpy..." The brown earth pony said as best he could with a pair of collapsing lungs. "Please. Get. Off. Of. Me..."

"Oh! Right! Sorry Doctor!" Derpy said as she stepped off of him and began looking around. "Hey Doctor, your amp blew up again."

"Yes, yes they did" Doctor Whooves said as he dusted himself off then went over and smiled at the grey, pegasas mare. "But I have better news! Our young friend here is going to help us with the time machine!"

"You mean the big box?" Derpy said as she walked over to a large box that had a cloth tapered over it.

"It's a time machine" Doctor Whooves went on to say, now speaking more to Sunny then his already informed assistant. "Or at least it will be once we get it up and running."

"Ugh, about that..." Sunny turned his attention away from the books and back towards Doctor. "Why do you need my help for that?"

"Well you see..." Doctor Whooves began to explain as he walked over to a chalk board. "I don't know how, but your body is emitting a series of, well, for lack of a better word, radiation or magic, that also can be found just shortly after a time spell is cast."

Doctor Whooves pulled out a lazier pointer and began explaining the drawing and various scribbles on his chalk board. "When a unicorn pony casts a time spell, they essentially force a whole open in time using their magic. Well, this same magical force leave behind a type of radiation. Harmless of course, but very powerful if harnessed. Now, most time spells either only work for travailing back a week or so, or over a decade. But with this machine, we can travel forward and backwards in time, from anywhere between 10 seconds to over 2000 years!"

"Really?!" This really caught Sunny's attention. "So... Let's say you wanted to, oh, I don't know... Go back in time and stop an evil King from causing trouble in a certain Empire. Would that be possible?"

"I'm afraid not" Doctor Whooves said as he walked over to his table and grabbed a book, opening to a marked page. Sunny walked over and peaked over Doctor's shoulder. "You see, something as historical as that is known as a 'fixed point' and cannot be changed. Let's say you go back and were able to stop the king. Somepony else would rise to power and rule the Empire and corrupt it. Maybe even princess Celestia or Princess Luna."

Sunny's ears drooped as he sighed heavily and walked away to finish picking up the books. "What's the point in going back in time then if you can't help ponies?"

"Oh but you can!" Doctor said as he jumped over and across the room towards Sunny. "Think of all the possibilities! We can learn about the lost cities that sank beneath the sea, what lead to the fall of Timbucktu, or even as far back as the coronation of our rulers! Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!"

"Yeah, that all sounds great, Doctor..." Sunny's attention was now back on the books with their odd texts. His hopes of possibly going back in time and stopping his father from becoming corrupt were shattered. Sunny began looking at the pages again, he knew they looked just like the ones in his father's books.

Noticing Sunny's fascination with the odd books, The gears in the scientist's head began turning once again . "Sunny, can I call you Sunny."

"Ugh, sure" Sunny said, half paying attention as he started to become lost in the books.

"How about we make a deal?" Doctor Whooves began to say. "If you help me power my machine by channeling your magic into it, I'll lend you my books. Deal?"

Sunny thought about it for a moment, and although he couldn't figure out just what Doctor Whooves was saying or why he wanted to go back in time in the first place, but the yellow stallion knew he needed those books if he was ever going to break the curse he put on Score and his friends.

"Alright" Sunny said as he turned and faced the stallion with a red necktie. "You have yourself a deal. So what do I have to do?"

"Right this way!" Doctor said as he walked Sunny over to a chair and began hooking him up with a bunch of wires that fed from the chair into some light bulbs and eventually into some machines that then would process the energy and feed it into the soon to be time machine.

As Sunny day in the chair, feeling slightly nervous, Doctor immediately went to work. He zoomed all around the seated yellow stallion, hooking various things up to him, including a helmet that seemed to be made of wires and a metal food strainer, with a hole in the top of it for Sunny's horn. After placing the helmet securely on Sunny, Doctor then plopped a type of putty like substance on the exposed horn, then plugged a red and a blue wire directly into the putty.

"Ugh... Probably a bad time to ask this, but is this safe?" Sunny asked nervously, starting to regret his decision.

"Of course it is!" Doctor said confidently as he flipped a few switches on the console connected to what Sunny was hooked up to. Just as the brown earth pony was about to spout out some more words of encouragement, a device Derpy was holding in her hooves started sparking then caught fire. Doctor ignored that, despite Sunny's wide eye and nervous look at the sight. "I'm the best inventor in all of Ponyville. And I can say without a doubt that this machine is more then ready for operation! Now let's get started!"

"But Doctor, what am I supposed to do? You still haven't explained that." Sunny asked, still very confused as to what the Doctor was doing.

"Just focus your magical energy into your horn" Doctor Whooves began to explain as the various machines around his lab began to wake up, making loud growling noises, forcing Doctor to speak over them. "Like the first step to casting a spell! Focus your magic in your horn, but just keep it there! Don't cast a spell, ok?!"

Doctor Whooves jumped from where he was standing over to a giant toggle switch that was marked with yellow and black stripes. He took a deep breath before muttering something to himself and turning back to face Sunny. "Are you ready, dear boy?"

Sunny gulped and tried to calm himself down. What's the worst that could happen? All he needed to do was focus his magic into his horn, right? He could do that. It was foal's play. Sunny took a deep breath and began to relax. When a unicorn casts a spell, it's best that they are relaxed. Outside influences could disrupt the spell. But a memory seemed to seep back into Sunny's mind. Although Twilight re-taught him how to use magic, it was his father who initially taught the yellow unicorn, over 1000 years ago...

-Many years ago in the Crystal Empire-

"UGH! I'm never going to do this!" A younger Sunny said as he kicked a rubber ball away from him, frustrated that it wouldn't levitate.

Although Sunny wasn't able to levitate the ball with the use of his unicorn magic like his book explains, he was able too kick it hard enough to where it would have flown over the garden fence. But at last minute, it was caught in a green magical aura, and levitated down to the unicorn casting the aura. Sunny's father had just gotten out of a meeting with his generals and thought he'd check up on how his son's practicing was going. The king had been informed by his teachers that Sunny was struggling a bit and offered highly recommended tutors. But Sombra knew his son better then any pony else, and wanted to try and help him first.

"Trying for the hoof ball team?" Sombra joked as he walked over to where his son had settled in the garden to practice his magic without interruption.

Sunny let out a breath of frustration as he lowered his head, not wanting to look his father in the eye. "It's too hard... I'll never be a good prince if I can't even lift a stupid ball off the ground..."

Sombra set the ball back down in front of his son, who shot the seemingly innocent ball a dark glare. Taking a seat next to his young son, the king put his hoof around the troubled colt. "You know, you remind me so much of myself when I was growing up. Did you know that i was about your age when I cast my first spell?"

This caught the curiosity of the small unicorn, tearing his attention from the ball and up to his father. "Really? But you're so great at magic now."

"But I wasn't always" Sombra answered. "Actually, I couldn't even get a pebble off the ground for the longest time. But you know who helped me?"

"Who?" Sunny asked, his curiosity peaked.

"Radiant Hope" Sombra said with a smile as he remembered his earlier days at the orphanage where he grew up.

"Auntie Radiant? Really?!" Sunny said, sounding astounded and amazed.

"Indeed, my son" Sombra continued. "She was naturally gifted. But do you know the secret she told me? How she was able to cast spells so well?"

"How?!" Sunny was practically standing on the edge of his hooves, wanting desperately to know his father's secret.

The king closed his eyes and raised his head, straitening his back. "She told me 'if you think of things that make you happy, the magic will flow through you and make your magic stronger. I think about the ponies I care about. I think of wanting to help others, about making them better, and helping them to shine.'"

Sunny tilted his head to the side, slightly confused. "Help them to... Shine? Like making them glow in the dark?"

Sombra chuckled lightly then shook his as he looked down at his son. "No, Radiant wanted to help ponies reach their full potential, so that way they can shine. Like the stars in the sky."

Sunny thought for a moment, trying to figure out what it was his father was saying. But it just wasn't clicking.

Sombra noticed this and decided to put it in a way his son might understand. "When I cast my spells, I think of Radiant, my oldest friend. But I also think of you, and your mother."

That caused a spark in Sunny, head jerking up to face his father. "Mother?"

"Yes" the king elaborated. "I put all my heart into my spells, thinking about protecting you and your mother, as well as everypony in the Crystal Empire. It makes me feel like I can glow when I think of them, and doing all i can for the ponies I care about."

The gears in Sunny's head began to turn as he looked back at the ball again. He wanted to close his eyes to only focus on the ball, like his teacher told him to. But Sunny kept his eyes open, having the images of his mother and father and him in his mind, thinking they could all spend more time together again, like they used to. The happy and selfless thought gave the young unicorn's magic that extra little push he needed. The ball was then coated in a green magical aura, possibly a shade or two lighter then King Sombra's, and with little effort at all, the ball began to rise.

Sombra stood by and watched, beaming with pride that he got to see his son cast his very first spell. "It looks like somepony found their happy thought. Remember Sunny, never let your happy thought go..."

-back in the present, Doctor Whoove's house-

"Yes! That's it!" Doctor was calling out to anypony who was listening, his machines began to growl louder as Sunny's magical force drove them to a point they'd never reached before! The big box under with the sheet began to glow as an odd whooshing noise began to erupt from it. "I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT! ITS REALLY WORKING! ALL MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE!"

But right at the time Doctor Whooves was about to break into a victorious dance, a bulbs broke on the machine closest to him. Then another. And another. And another after that! Doctor and Derpy all watched at the various machines all around his home began to burst with an overflow of energy that fried the machines from the inside out!

"No! No! No!!!" Doctor began to scream as he ran around desperately trying to keep the machines operational. But even the soon-to-be time machine's whooshing began to subside as the lights from it dimmed into nothing. "No! We're almost there! We can't give up now!"

But despite the scientist's best efforts, the machines had long since died out, smoke quickly began to fill the air of Doctor Whoove's home. Derpy opened a window to let some of the smoke out, breaking the window in the process.

"Oops..." She said as the entire window fell off it's hinges and fell to the ground. "Sorry Doctor..."

But Doctor was far too lost to care at all about a silly broken window, his hopes and dreams were smashed more then the window, now that all his equipment was ruined. He picked up a small electric screwdriver he invented and threw it away from him. "What's the point... Everypony is right... My work is a joke. Just 'crazy of Doctor Whooves working on machines that will explode, again'... All I wanted to do was see all of history first hoof! Learn some things forgotten or left out of the text books, see great ponies in their own time, see the wonders of our past and future with my own eyes!..."

Doctor then turned and looked over at Sunny. "I'm sorry for dragging you through this, young lad. It's not your burden to bear my failures. Here, let's get you out of that mess. And please, help yourself to any of those books..."

As Doctor dragged his head over to Sunny and began to remove the various wires attached to the yellow stallion, a pair of hooves pushed his away. Shocked for a moment, Doctor Whooves gazed at the yellow hoof that smacked his away.

"Doctor" Sunny said he his burning green eyes met the down trotted eyes of the scientist. "If you want your dreams to come true, you can't give up. We don't stop until you get your time machine working."

This shook Doctor for a moment, but when he could speak, his voice was very pessimistic and shaky. "B-but my machines! They're all destroyed!"

"We can make it work" Sunny's spirit didn't flicker.

"It will take me months to repair the damage!" Doctor's voice sounded more panicked.

"Can't we just hook me up to the time machine?" Sunny asked, nudging to the big box covered in a sheet.

"B-b-but if I don't filter the magical flow, it could completely destroy the machine! More so then the others!" Doctor was becoming more hysterical then before, thinking he could lose everything he's ever worked on!

"Doctor!" Sunny grabbed ahold of the brown earth pony and shook him still. The scientist's eyes were now locked on the assertive yellow pony before him. "You have your chance right now to make your dreams come true! Either take it or not! I'm willing to help you. But are you willing to rick it all for the sake of your dream?!"

Doctor didn't know what to do. All logic in his mind told him he should get to work right away on building a second time machine, and rebuild his lab and try again later. But that could take months, even years! But if he tried to hook Sunny directly up to the time machine and it failed, either short circuiting it or even blowing it completely up, all his work would be set back further then before! Doctor felt like he was going crazy!

"I believe in you, Doctor" a soft and gentle hoof landed on the brown earth pony's shoulder.

Doctor turned to come face to face with the only pony who never lost faith in him, even when he lost faith in himself. He smiled and nuzzles her hoof. "Thank you, Derpy..."

"Are we going to do this, Doctor?" Sunny asked, a confident grin now on his face. "Or am I just going to stand around with putty on my head all day?"

"RIGHT!" Doctor said as he hopped up and ran over to the big box and pulled the sheet off of it. It was very odd, unlike anything Sunny had ever seen. It did look like a big box, indeed, but it had windows all around the top half of it, and an odd light at its pointed tip.

Immediately, Doctor began pulling parts form his various machines and dragging them over to the big box. He picked up the screwdriver he had had and pressed a button on it, pointing it at a panel on the side of the big box. The panel immediately popped off, exposing tones of wires to scientist who went right to work, his brain now going a million miles per hour.

"Now although we're going to connect you directly to the time machine itself, I'm still going to filter your magical flow through the machines." He began to explain as he worked. "The machines will still act as filters even though they are technically burned out. Too much magical flow could rupture the time machine and we all could at the very least blow up with the house. Worse case... "

Sunny and Derpy looked nervously at Doctor as he used his odd screwdriver on the machine Sunny was hooked up to. Sunny was the only one to speak up when Doctor trailed off. "Ugh, worst case Doctor?"

"Worst case won't happen" Doctor said with a grin. "Because we are going to succeed! Now, fire when ready, my friend!"

Sunny took another deep breath and began to focus his magical energy again. This time, thinking of his father, and what he had taught him all of those years ago. The box's light's began to flow again as the whooshing sound returned. But it was really subtle.

"More Sunny! We need more energy!" Doctor called out as he looked over the machines, trying to find a way to refocus the flow from the yellow unicorn. But he had done all he could the first time.The machine died down seconds afterwards, Sunny breathing heavily, his head feeling like a baked potato.

But he wasn't going to give up. The yellow unicorn began to focus again, remembering to breath as his unicorn magic began to flow around his horn again. This time, he thought about all the friends he'd made in town. Not just Applejack, Twilight and their friends. But the friends he himself made, like Thunder Lane, Big Mac, Octavia, and now Derpy and Doctor. The thought about that, and wanting to help them 'shine' like his father told him. The machine began to whoosh louder and the lights on it and the other machines began to flow with life once more. But not long after that, the machine died down harder then the first time.

"No!" Doctor slammed his hooves on the machine that was loosest to him. "We were almost there! Ugh!"

"Don't give up!" Derpy cried out. "I know you can do it, Doctor! You're the smartest pony I know!"

"We can do it Doctor!" Sunny called out from where he was hooked up. "One more time!"

Doctor paused for a moment and turned to look at both Derpy and Sunny. Time for him stood still for a moment as he took in all of what was happening. He was there, trying his hardest to make his dreams come true, and there were his friends, possibly the only two friends he's got, cheering him on. It was then that all the statistics he had gathered, all the formulas he's calculated, all the theory's, trials, experiments,.... They don't mean a thing! Right now his friends are there, believing in him, which is something he's never had before. He can't fail! He won't fail!

"RIGHT! One more time!" Doctor said as he flipped the toggle switch one last time.

Sunny began to focus with all his might, believing with all his heart that he could help his friend. But he needed something more. Something he never thought about before.... Then it hit him.

The yellow stallion closed his eyes and let his mind drift back to the place he called home. The place where he felt at peace. The place he swore to protect with all his might. The place where the most important ponies in all of Equestria were. The ponies that were now his family. The thought about the Apples and their farm that they called home, and the home they opened up to him. Witching that breif moment, Sunny's body pulsed, and the pulse shot out and hit all of the machines surrounding him.

The machines all around Doctor's home suddenly sprang back to life! Their broken lights and bulbs began to come back together as if their time was reversing! The busted parts of metal and burnt wire began to shine like new and wall back into place! And the big box time machine began to cheer with its 'whoosh'ing. Then for a moment, everything went dark. No sounds. No lights. Nothing but the questioning thoughts of the three ponies in Doctor's house...

...then all at once, the lights flickered on once mor, allowing light to illuminate the entire house as the box time machine began to spin around, around and around! The doors now open and sucking into it all the various machines, doo-dads and what nots that resided all around Docror Whoove's house! Just as fast as it started up, the box suddenly stopped spinning, and the doors shut.

All the walls in Doctor's house were bare, all his furniture gone. Everything he had ever owned had been sucked into the big box time machine. Leaving just the three ponies on their backs, too scared and amazed to move. When they felt it was safe to move, Doctor, Derpy, and Sunny all stood up and walked over to the time machine.

The front door opened up from the side closest to Doctor, shocking all three of the ponies. For a long moment, try just started at the door. But taking a deep breath, Doctor took a step towards the door, then another. And finally, he looked inside and was amazed at what he saw.

Inside the seemingly average (if not just plain odd) wooden box was a room that seemed even larger then Doctor Whoove's house! Maybe even larger then the barn at Sweet Apple Acres! Doctor was the first to venture inside, his causation giving way to the doctor's undying curiosity. Behind him was Derpy, who was then followed by Sunny. All were amazed by the large room inside the relatively small box.

"It's.... It's..." Derpy began to speak out loud.

"Bigger on the inside!" Doctor finished her sentence and grabbed her hooves, beginning to dance with her. "We did it! We really did it! It's a real working time machine!"

"Not to drag you down, Doctor" Sunny began to say as he walked over to a large control panel that seemed to go from the center of the 'time machine' all the way to the sealing. "But how are you so sure that it's a time machine and not just a really, really roomy closet?"

"Ah! A demonstration!" Doctor said as he moved over to the control panel and immediately found what he was looking for. "Here! If I recall correctly the date you came to town was just the begining of Spring, right? When the Apple family would need aid in bucking their trees?"

"Yeah, wait" Sunny paused. "How did you know that?"

"Are you kidding? I love Apple family apple goods. I keep track of the best times to buy apples from them, right when they are plump and juicy." Doctor admired as he looked the controls over.

"They are always plump and juicy, Doctor" Sunny's tone was flat and emotionless as to reflect his distaste of Doctor's comment.

Doctor felt his tie growing tighter as he tried to relieve some of the pressure by tugging at it, then continued. "Anyway, there was a party going on outside in town, right?"

"Yeah!" Derpy added in. "Pinkie was throwing a huge party, and I was busting some moves with Rainbow Dash!" The grey pegusus then began to mimic her 'moves' from that day, only, on that day, her moves also busted a few pillars on town hall and a few food stands.

After flipping a few switches, hitting a few buttons, and smacking an odd nob, the 'time machine' box began to make that whooshing noise again. But other then a few lights flickering on and off, nothing changed. A bit skeptical, Sunny walked over to one of the windows and peaked out, only to be shocked by what he saw!

They had somehow moved from Doctor Whoove's house into Ponyville Square, and it appeared a party was going on! Not just any party, but 'the' party! The party Sunny had joined on his first day arriving in Ponyville! He looked around and saw everypony dancing to that song that he liked so much.

"Wait! There I am!" Sunny said as Doctor and Derpy joined him by the window, catching himself dancing with his Apple Family Stetson over his horn. "I should go tell me about my horn. That could save-"

"NO!" Doctor said as he tackled Sunny before the yellow unicorn could leave the time machine. "If you disrupt the past, it could change the future! We can't do that! Don't you read Science fiction novels on time travel?!"

"Ugh... I haven't, no" Sunny said as he pushed Doctor off of him. "So wait! If we can't disrupt time, why time travel?"

"To view it all! How would you like to see the three tribal leaders coming together to pale peace after the very first Hearths warming? Or witness Princess Celestia and Princess Luna coming to power?!"

The yellow stallions just sighed and shook his head, but still kept smiling. His newest friend's enthusiasm was defiantly one to admire. Sunny noticed that the more friends he acquired, the weirder they seem to become. But as He looked at Doctor talking with Derpy about specific dates he wanted to visit with her, Sunny couldn't help but feel something inside. His chest felt light, and the smile on his face seemed to grow. 'Is this what you meant by helping other friends 'shine' father?'

Author's Note:

hope you all are as big Doctor Who fans as I am!

I'm not going to stress too many episodes like this, its still Sunny's fic
