Previous Story: Allons-y!
Next Story: The Rising Night

The Doctor is taking the newly-repaired TARDIS for a spin, bringing his family and some friends along for the ride. However, when the TARDIS stalls in the middle of the time vortex, the old blue box may not be quite as safe as the Doctor hopes. Old foes are rising. An unknown force is manipulating the TARDIS. It seems that time itself is being split. This time, it seems that even the Doctor might not be enough to save the day.

Violence tag for fighting monsters and destroying robots.
Also features slight internalized homophobia

And Gallifreyan, or Gallopfrayen, doesn't translate...

Why, Dashie! Why you leave the group like that!!!??

Pinkie, who had mostly regained consciousness and awareness of her surroundings, grinned dazedly. “Well, we just took a jump to the left… Ooh, and then a step to the right…”

“...What’s with all the circles?”

Pinkie, who had mostly regained consciousness and awareness of her surroundings, grinned dazedly. “Well, we just took a jump to the left… Ooh, and then a step to the right…”

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

The Doctor turned and gave her an enormous grin. “It would be a ‘Pair o’ Docs’.”

:facehoof:

So, since he’s split himself (or the very act of the timestream healing itself from the ippskabibble did a thing; it’s hard to discuss causation in time travel) , “this” him doesn’t have to worry about being called away back to his home universe... the Ponyverse /is/ his universe “now.” He’s finally home! Nice! :yay:

Also, this is a nice ship of Applejack and Rainbow Dash. :rainbowderp::ajsmug:

And Dinky has her building relationship with the Tardis and with the timestream, which is awesome!:pinkiegasp:

But... at what price? :trixieshiftright:

And, what about that whole Watcher business...? :rainbowdetermined2:

“Ohh, yeah, everything’s gonna turn out juuust fine!” Pinkie chirped. “It’s only the second story, so I don’t think anypony’s going to die just yet!”

"Yet."
Good thing the violence tag is for the robots and monsters!

Nice job making the characters balanced, so that while there are main characters, they all have personality and can take care of each other alright.

Thanks. I like to try to make all of the characters important. It leads to a much more satisfying resolution, in my opinion.

Ditzy pressed up against him, and they watched their daughter with trepidation and joy and befuddlement. These emotions go together far more frequently than one might think. Meanwhile, Pinkie gave one last prophetic shudder. She smiled. “Called it!” she cheered, as the TARDIS materialized away.

:rainbowlaugh:
Easy peasy.

“D’ya s’ppose we could get cutie marks for… TARDIS flying?” she mused.

Several meters away, all the hair on the Doctor’s neck stood on end. He chose to ignore it, at least for now, and continued talking with Macintosh.

Only much later would he learn how much of a mistake that had been.

That'd be an interesting side story...

“...Alright, fine. I’ll come to bed, just let me finish running this scan on he controls,” he agreed.

'he' -> 'the' I think you missed a letter.

IT WILL HAVE COME AT A PRICE, a voice in her head warned. WERE YOU WILLING TO BE PAYING IT?

Special thanks to Dr. Streetmentioner for his help with translating Gallifreyan verb tenses.

Wonderful stuff. I already liked this take on Best Filly, and this is a fantastic way for her to get her cutie mark. The sour little isolated cynic opening herself up to one of the best, strangest friends a filly could ask for. Brilliant stuff. Onwards!

“...I do. I have literally been to a dimension populated with humans.”

OK, then back in book 1 she shouldn't have had so much trouble with the concept that the doctor could be a shape shifted alien -she knows that it's possible

“That’s the Time Vortex,” the Doctor said flatly. "The only people who can survive extended direct exposure to it are already fundamentally immortal.”

So, Twilight?

“Satyrs!” Pinkie gasped, sitting up suddenly, “Perverting the course of Gaean history!”

I love that running gag so much. I have no idea why, but I do.

That would lead to two Doctors, and we all know what that would mean.

A bizarre and slightly out of place Sixth Doctor story that retcons past events in such a way that it leaves massives holes in continuity?

It would be a ‘Pair o’ Docs’.

Or a pun, that works too.

Pinkie, unusually perplexed, held up the book so Twilight could see. She studied it for a moment. “...What’s with all the circles?”

let's see if twilight can figure out Gallifreyan writing

Poor fur coat yeti-thingy, we hardly knew ye.

I wonder if Dinky learned where the parking brake release is?

He's not only a future version of you but if this universe works like I think it does he's an alternate universe version of you.
Let's wait till they meet Ditsy and Dinky.

“I don’t suppose there’s any way you could fly us at faster-than-light speed?” the Doctor asked, looking over at her, expression half-hopeful.

current physics tells us no, but who knows, maybe Albert Einstein, one of the smartest minds in history and basically the founder of general relativity, was wrong. E=mc^2 is a pretty simple equation. Maybe in the future, smarter physicists will be able to add something to the equation Einstein missed that will allow a scenario something can travel at that speed. We've managed to break the sound barrier, next is light.
If anyone were to find that way here, it would be the doctor.
