Chapter I: Lopsided Unto Dusk
Docteur Onze was rather surprised to have crashed his shp, the TARDIS, this far into the future. Le Docteur had been taken by her to Ponyville, but the scenery had looked so... different. First off, Golden Oaks was a crystalline castle instead of a library. Second, Midnight had wings. He had seen Midnight's coronation into Princess Midnight Twinkle, and saw her a few times since then, but this time they appeared to have grown. Third, the sky was night and day at the same time.
The last time le Docteur had seen the sky in this state, Princess Midnight Twinkle used the Elements of Harmony to revive the Tree of Harmony and restore normality. Le Docteur knew nothing of a Tree of Symphony whose weakening could have caused this. Whatever was happening, le Docteur was the pony who had to stop it. Princess Midnight was flying to Canterlot with her fiancé Flaire Sentinel! Getting married today, no doubt! le Docteur thought. Just like last time, a disaster in the middle of a wedding day!
With Midnight and Flaire getting married, le Docteur needed to search for the Fragmental Bearers. I'll start with Derpy. he thought. He trotted over to Carrot Top's house, where Derpy lived. He spotted Carrot Top along the way, and said "Hello, Carrot Top!"
"Who are you?" the yellow-coated, orange-maned asked. "And how do you know my name?"
"I'm Onze!" le Docteur replied. "And I know you from the future. I'm a Time Lord, from Gallifrey!"
"Well, Onze" Carrot Top replied "You sound a lot like this Doctor pony that Derpy keeps mentioning. Are you related to him?"
Le Docteur didn't know what to say. Should I say that I am the Doctor? he thought to himself. No. I've never explained regeneration to a pony, not even Derpy! There's no way Carrot Top could know that I could, and did, regenerate. "Where's Derpy?" he asked. "I need to see her."
"She's out delivering mail." Carrot Top responded. "She'll probably be back in a couple hours. Why don't you just time travel to that moment?" And that's just what le Docteur did.
After a short while, the TARDIS took le Docteur to two hours into the future. Carrot Top was right, le Docteur thought. Derpy would be back a couple of hours from then! He thought he was crazy when he saw her wave, and then simply step inside. So he opened the door and then he walked her way, and what she said next gave him pride. She said "Isn't it great to be home sweet home? Isn't it wonderful to be exactly where you are? When you learn to start accepting your place, you'll become a shining star!"
"Derpy!" le Docteur exclaimed "Why are you singing when the sky's both day and night?"
"Sorry, Doctor," Derpy replied. "but I got lost and finally found my way back home!"
"How did you know I was the Doctor?" le Docteur asked. "Did you see me before?"
"No," Derpy replied. "I just remember your voice. My semi-blindness means that I can hear very well."
"If you can hear well," le Docteur replied "do you have any idea what's causing the split-up sky?"
"I heard some laughter," Derpy answered, "but it sounded like Discord, and he's reformed now!"
Docteur Onze thought about that for a while. Discord... Discord... Where have I heard that name before? Then he remembered. Discord was that Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony that Midnight and her friends defeated before she was crowned Princess! He was later reformed by Flootershai, the Element of Kindness. Is he back to his evil ways again? Le Docteur listened a little harder and heard a familiary wiliary Discordy Wiscordy voice.
This voice sung a song, a parody of a song le Docteur had heard before. "A little bit of havoc there, Confusion almost ev'rywhere, and ev'ry stallion ev'ry mare, and ev'ry foal lives through it!" An unknown pony said "I'll round 'em up!" to the singer. "And while I play my litte game, I'll set the Everfree aflame, normality is just too lame, for myself to construe it!" A second unknown voice said "To construe it?"
The singing got quicker, and the confusions more confusing. "My goodness I'm a total stupe, because I fear I'm in the coop, I'll need a victim clan to dupe, and the Fragments of Symphony! Did I say Symphony? I meant Luck, or something I don't give a buck, and then I'll drown them in the muck, and then I'll rule with tyrrany! And since I'm feeling quite confusive, why not wear something obtrusive, to Rarity I'll be abusive, make Opal a poodle! Add a slice of evil pie, with stacks of hate way up high, served with sides of those who die, more ponies, I'll need oodles!" The second unknown voice asked "Anything else?"
To le Docteur's surprise, even though the original song continued at a slow part, the Discord voice ended it here with "Nope, I'm all set!"
"You know what this means, Derpy?" le Docteur asked.
"Nope." Derpy replied. "What does it mean, New Doctor?"
I haven't been called that before since I was a humanoid! le Docteur thought to himself. "It means that we need to unite! Regroup the Fragments of Symphony before Discord can steal them!"
"How can we do that, New Doctor?" Derpy asked. "The Fragments of Symphony returned to their home, and that's the Dendron of Symphony in the Everfree Forest!"
"Then we need to save a... Dendron!" le Docteur replied, unsure of himself. I hope we succeed!
