Prolouge: The Filly Who Waited

Canterlot Castle, Late at night

In the gardens of the palace, home to the sovereign ruler of all Equestria, Princess Celestia, all was quiet. Not even the screeching spider-monkeys made a single noise.

However, not all in this Castle were at ease. By the dim light of both her minute horn and a lit lantern, a small lavender filly, clothed in slippers and a pale blue bathrobe, nervously trotted the path of the foreboding gardens. Well, they weren't actually very foreboding, but the unicorn was still just a young pony, and the only reason she was out here instead of soundly sleeping in her bed was because she had heard a peculiar noise out there, and went to investigate it.

Sadly, she hadn't counted on how terrifying the path of the courtyard was in the dead of night.

"I know I heard something... but where-?"

Whiirr-rrr. Whiiir-rr.

A squeak escaped past the filly's lips, nearly causing her to drop her lantern. "There it is again!"

It was close by, she noted, seeming to come from behind a nearby bush. Cautiously, she walked over towards where the sound, which had gradually quieted until it ceased, peeking out ever so slowly to find-

A big, blue box.

"What the- Was... Was that here this morning?"

Upon further inspection, the filly noted that the box was something she recognized from a book she'd read over at the library. Back in the days when pony-skirts, mane-gel and Elvis Presfilly were popular, they'd had a communcation booth of sorts in Trotland, a Police box, which this seemed to be. However, those were really outdated, so why was there one in Canterlot gardens?

"I'd better ask the Princess about this..." The filly mumbled to herself, turning around. She didn't get two steps before running straight into somepony, though.

"Ah, hello, there! You wouldn't happen to know where the Princess is, would you? Oh, and some food, I'm starving. But not pears. I HATE pears."

The filly stared at this strange pony. He was a lot bigger than her, probably an adult at the least, definitely from Trotland, and had a coat that was this grayish amber color, his mane a much darker shade of that hue. His eyes were a color somewhere between gray and azure, and his Cutie Mark was of an hourglass.

"Uh..."

The strange stallion smiled, probably trying to be reassuring. "You know...? Princess Celestia? Ruler of Equestria? Raises sun and moon? Alicorn? Tall, white, tri-colored mane, is any of this ringing a bell? I really need to find her as soons as possible, so...?"

Suddenly, a thought came to the filly's mind. This guy... he might want to hurt the Princess! Maybe he's one of those "New Lunar Order" people who want to take down the Princess and bring the Mare in the Moon back from her prison!

The filly glared at him. "No way, Lunar Spy! I won't let you hurt the Princess!"

The weird pony blinked in utter confusion. "Pardon- OOF!"

Using an unusually large amount of magic for such a small pony, the young filly had made a sort of magical rope around the stallion's legs, turned him upside down, and then rammed him into a nearby tree. Repeatedly.

"Would- gah- you please- oof!- QUIT DOING THAT!"

"Twilight?"

Hearing her mentor's voice, the little filly dropped her captive and galloped over to the ruler, who currently had on a flowing bathrobe and fuzzy bunny slippers, as well as a look of complete confusion.

"Princess! Thank goodness you're here! I found this weirdo running around the garden and he asked where you were and then he said he hated pears and I think he's a spy and- HEY!"

Currently, the strange pony (who now had leaves strewn throughout his mane) had Twilight by the sash of her bathrobe.

"Tia, don't be alarmed, but this definitely is not a filly! She's obviously some sort of monster that was sent here to assassinate you! Do not be fooled by her cuteness!"

"The hay?! Why would I-"

At that moment, both were interrupted by a sound which neither of them had ever heard before.

The sound of Princess Celestia, raiser of the sun and moon, ruler of all of Equestria, professional prankster, completely and totally cracking up, tears streaming down her face.

"Dear Her I think she's lost it."

After a few minutes, the leader regain her composure. "Oh, I apologize for that, but you two are just too much! Let me introduce you two. Twilight Sparkle, I'd like you to meet my dear and longtime friend, the Doctor."

Twilight looked at her mentor. "Doctor? Doctor who?"

"Just the Doctor, Midnight Twinkle."

"It's-"

"Doctor, this is my most faithful and beloved student, Twilight Sparkle. She's got quite the talent for magic, doesn't she?"

The Doctor blinked. "So... not an assassin?"

"No more than you are. Unless there's something you're not telling me, Doctor."

Later...

"So, yeah, that's the long and short of it. I'm afraid that there's been no change in..." The Doctor took a quick glance at Twilight, who had been listening intently since the conversation began, "You-know-who's condition since the last time we spoke, Tia. I'm so sorry."

Celestia sighed, extremely disappointed. "It's not your fault, Doctor. I had hoped... they'd get better with time, but..."

The Doctor smiled sympathetically at her, then stood. "Well, I'd best be getting the show on the road. I've got people to go and places to meet!"

"Ah, Doctor, wait!" Twilight yelled, quickly running to catch up with the Time Lord, as she'd learnt he was called. "Is all that stuff true? The time travel, I mean?"

"True as the sun will rise!"

"And- And do you really save a lot of ponies's lives?"

"Ponies, griffins, dragons, not picky, really."

"Do you really go to other planets?"

"Of course! I just found a new one next Tuesday!"

"Can I come with you?!"

The Doctor turned and stared at her, startled by her question. "What?!"

"Can I come with you, please?! Your adventures sound so interesting! I want to see new things like you do all the time!" Twilight looked at him with the most innocent, adorable face she could make.
The Doctor swallowed nervously. "U-Uhh... Um... Tia? A little help?"
Celestia grinned wickedly. "I don't see a reason she can't go with on a short trip. It'd be educational for her." Plus she might actually have fun for once...

The Doctor glared at her, then turned his attention back to the filly. "Well... pack a suitcase, alright? Let me get the TARDIS warmed up and we'll be gone in about five minutes."

The filly grinned and started bouncing up and down. "YesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesYES!"

"Does she do that alot?"

"You have no idea..."

A few minutes later...

"Alright then! A quick spin to the future should get her up and running! Allon-SY!"

Whiir-rr. Whiiiiiir-rr.

As the TARDIS disappeared from the garden, Twilight came out, dragging a suitcase. And so she sat and waited for him to come back for her.

She waited all night, and he didn't return.

Twelve years later...

Whirr-rr. Whiirr-rr.

The door of the TARDIS flung open. "Okay I'm back, are you ready to- What the Discord?! Where are we?!"

Instead of in the Canterlot gardens, The TARDIS had effectively parked itself outside what looked to be a building made completely out of a tree.

"Great. Now I have to go figure out when and where I am so I can get back to that filly." With that, the Doctor walked inside the Tree-house.

Inside

"Can I help you?" A small, purple baby dragon asked.

"Ah, yes, could you tell me where and when I am? Got a bit turned around, I'm afraid, and I've really got to get back to someone."

The baby dragon blinked. "Wha... when you-"

"Spike, is someone at the... the... oh... OH MY LUNA!"

"Hello, there, miss, I'm- OW!"

Before he could introduce himself, the unicorn mare had magically thrown a book at him. A very large and heavy book for that matter.

The Doctor groaned, sitting back up after being knocked over. "What was that for?!"

The mare ran down the stairs. "It's you!"

"You threw a book at me!"

"You surprised me!"

"Why would you throw a book at somepony?!"

"Why did you say five minutes?!"

The Doctor blinked. "Wha... Twilight?!"

AHA! finally a 11 DW story! most ponies prefer the 10whooves because he is more connected to derpy. in fact this is the only Second 11 story i have seen.

[username 235112351]

I noticed you're tracking my DW story. Did mine serve as influence? Cuz' that would be SO AWESOME!

Indeed it did! I was very impressed by your story, and it helped me think up my own idea!

[username 235112351]

I feel touched.

But not in that way.
Never that way. That would be undeniably, unquestionably, uncool.

Nice! I read a fair few DW fics, being a big Whovian myself, and this strikes me as one of the better ones! You could do with slowing the pace down a little bit to put a bit more detail into the thoughts of what the characters are thinking and feeling, but overall a promising story! Tracked

[Cloud Shimmers]

I like it but there is one thing, the show already has an England, it called trottingham

[WhovianPony]

[Bridgebrain]
