> Special Delivery for a Special Somepony. > by Onyxfire408 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 The Wrong Package You wake up at the crack of dawn, you get out of bed and fetch some clothes from the drawers and approach the much needed bathroom. You enter your shower and turn the valve as the hot steamy sprinkles of water showered all over your light gray coat. As you finish your shower, you dry off your coat and mane as you put on your set of clothes for the day. You walk to your living room and approach the front door, before the leave you quickly grab your coat and black and grey checkered fedora and leave. You walk through the nearly lit streets of Ponyville as you blow out each lantern along the roads one by one. After a couple of hours of blowing out tips of fire and a few tunes of the colt made whistle, you finish your job and head back home, you look over to Celestia's sun as it was about to rise. As you approach your house, you enter as you return to your bed and sleep the rest of the early morning off. *ding dong* You wake up feeling a little groggy as you rise from your bed and walk to your front door. As you approach the door, your eye glares at the junk mails that was mistakenly delivered to you. You've hated this spam as you give a heavy sigh and walked towards the door. You opened the door to find the local mailmare with her strange eyes as she pulled out a few letter from her mail bag. "Here ya go." she said in a beaming tone as you take the mail and look over it closely. You found that it was more junk mail, you become frustrated as you crumple the mail that you held in your hands, and you grind your teeth as you threw the junk mail on the ground and bark at the mare like a dog. "Again!? How many times do I have to tell you!? I Don't want this stupid junk mail, just get the BUCK our of here!!!" You barked as you slammed the door shut. Outside the mailmare flew off into the distance as tears of sadness ran down her cheeks. You furiously stomped your way towards the kitchen as you pull out a chamomile tea bag from the cupboard and brewed yourself a nice piping hot cup of tea. "Honestly, that's the sixth time I've received junk mail instead of my bit check." You complain as you take a sip of your tea and sat down on your couch. As you gulped the the rest of your tea you remember a slight curse that had struck your head as if a dark rain cloud started pouring over your head. Why did you yell at her? Because, she brought me my sixth pile of junk mail. So? Is money really that important? It puts the food on my plate, and pays the bills. True, but does she control where the mail goes? Well... She's just her job, and you have no right to yell at her for just doing her job. I guess you're right. You thought to yourself as you barge through your door looking around for the pegasus mare, she was long gone. Think Think Think! She's a mailmare, where would they go? After a quick thought a light bulb popped over your head, literally, you look up to find Pinkie Pie with a harmless and comedic joke. She always takes things too seriously, and how did she know? You shake your head into reality as you remembered that Pinkie knew everypony in Ponyville. "Pinkie Pie, just the mare I need, I need your help." "Sure, whatcha need?" She asks with a beaming smile. "Well, do you know any pegasus mare with a light grey coat and a blond mane, oh and she's also a mailmare." You add as Pinkie placed a hand on her head scratching as she searched her own archives. "Ah I know, that was Derpy Hooves, one of Ponyville's mailmares. Why did you want to see her?" "Well, I-I-I-I did something to her that made her cry." Pinkie gasped in horror as she gave a mean sour look at you. "You big meaning, go apologize to her right nao!" She barked as she extended her neck as her face was mere centimeters away from yours. You give a confused look at the pink mare as you saw her neck extend like a giraffe. "I-I am, just please tell me, what does she like and where do you think she is right now?" You asked nervously. "Well, first of all she loves muffins, and she's probably at the local post office crying her feelings out because YOU hurt her." You held your head in frustration. "Arggh I told you I'm going to apologize now. Now I must go, got any muffins on you?" "Yuperoo, got a fresh muffin riiiiight," She paused as she reached behind her back and pulled out a hot steamy muffin.....how did she do that? "HERE! Banana and chocolate chip muffin, go ahead and give this to her and she'll be happy." She said with a beaming smile as you take the muffin becoming confused as to how she did that, you turn back to the pink cotton candy mare but she was off in the distance hopping like a bunny. You weld the muffin tight as you quickly sprint down the street to find the mare known as Derpy Hooves. You reach the post office as you quickly walk through the door and fine several ponies trying to do their business with mail, packages, and what not. You walk towards the nearest available deskmare as she raises an eyebrow at you. "Hello, welcome to EPS, how may I help you?" The deskmare asked. "Yes, is there a mailmare here by the name of Derpy Hooves?" You asked nervously "Well, yes but she turned in early, she went home if you wondering where she went. Why do you ask?" "Well..." You scratch your head and create a fake smile across her face. "I kinda upset her and I wanted to apologize to her." "Oh, no wonder, I knew I saw some tears run down her cheeks." "Yea I felt really bad cause I yelled at her for bringing me more junk mail, I knew it wasn't her fault." "Yea, well if your looking for her, her house is just down the road, just head left when you exit the building. You'll find her mailbox with her name." the deskmare informs "Thank you." You nod at her in grace and swiftly run outside and down the road. You look around the multiple houses in your way until you found one with a mailbox with the name Derpy and Dinky labeled on it. As you walk up to the door, your heart pounded with pain and twists. Your lungs felt that they were breathing air of timid tree and blood of dead colt. You felt the sweat climb down your body as you reach out your hand towards the wooden door. As your curl your hand into a fist, you raise it up slowly in fear as you bring it down knocking on the door three times. As the door slowly creaks upon, you find that a small unicorn filly opening the door with a sad look on her face. She looks up at you in confusion as you let out a sigh of relief that it wasn't her. "Umm, is Derpy Hooves here?" "You mean my mommy?" You nod. "Yes, she is, but she doesn't want to see anypony right now." She states as she slowly starts closing the door. You place a food in the doorway stopping the unicorn's action as she retracts the door. "I believe I can help her," you state as the filly slowly nods and creaks open the door. You walk in as the unicorn gestures a hand indicating, 'follow me'. You nod at the filly as you follow her upstairs, as you come closer to the mailmare's location, you hear sounds of depression and despair as you heard the mare you treated poorly weep in depression. As the you and the filly reach her bedroom door, she slightly taps on the door causing the mailmare inside to pause and hiccup her sadness. "Mommy, you have a visitor." "O- *hiccup* -kay, you can let them in my room, it's *hiccup* unlocked." The sad mare states as Dinky slowly opens the door to you. As you enter her room, her mind races with thoughts that you didn't want to see, you step in as the sad mare's eyes widens as she looks at you. "Y-you" "Please, I just want to talk." You say as you gulp down a pill of guilt. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 The Favor "Please I just want to talk." You said as you gulp down a pill of guilt. The grey mare nods as she looks at you in the eyes. "Okay, *sniff* Dinky can you please leave mommy for a moment? We are going to talk." The filly unicorn nods as she slowly creaks the door closed and walked down the stairs. You let out a heavy sigh as you began to open your mouth. "Look, I am very sorry for my behavior on you. I shouldn't have yelled at you for doing your job, it's just that I hate getting junk mail and I just wanted my bit check." "It's *sniff* It's okay." She said as she began to crack open a small grin. "No it's not okay, I yelled at an innocent mare, it was you and I cannot forgive myself. So in apology I will assist you in any of your needs." You proclaim as you salute towards the mailmare. "No you don't have to-" "No, I have to, I highly insist that I become your butler, or servant, or whatever you want to call me." You intercept as you continue to salute towards the mare. "Please" "O-*sniff* okay, you can be my servant... I guess." "Good, now what do you need first?" You asked as you stood straight in front of the mare. "First, can you please not be like a military trainee, it's kinda goofy." She confesses as you break your stance causing the mailmare to giggle at your embarrassment. "Also, are you good at math?" "Yea, I'm alright, I was great at trigonometry so I'm pretty good at math." "Okay, then can you help Dinky with her math homework? She's always having difficulties and I don't know everything, plus I need to pick something up from the market." She instructs as she stood from her bed. You nod at the mare and walk downstairs, as you reach the first floor you find the unicorn filly weighting her head on her hands as she struggled at her math homework. You sat down next to the student as she turned to your face and smiled. "Hello, are you going to help me in my math homework?" "Yep, now what subject of math are you working on?" "Geometry, Mr. Kyle introduced us on how to find the circumference in a circle." "Really? That is easy, do you have a calculator on you?" Derpy has left to attend to her business as she left you and the filly alone as you helped her in her homework. "And that is how you find the circumference of a circle, just take pi, mulitply it by two, and then by the radius and then BAM, ya got it. You can also take the diameter and times it by pi as well, so there you go." You finish explaining as the unicorn student rights down the notes you have briefed her on. "So if the radius of this circle is 9.3 and I times it by two and pi, wouldn't I get," She pauses as she types the equation in her calculator. "58.4?" "Yep, good job. Now, lets see if you can do the rest of these problems by yourself, when your done or need help, don't be afraid to tell me I'm always here to help." The student nodded as she worked on the rest of her home work. You sat down on the couch and picked up a nearby magazine, you begin to read as the sun slowly ticked by. After about ten minutes the unicorn filly taps you on the legs as she hands you her homework, you take the paper and closely examine it. Your eyes widened at the amount of success she had put into this work, even the extra credit problem that was optional. "Wow, I'm very impressed, I didn't even help you with this problem." You state as your pointed at the extra credit. "Wow thanks, other ponies say that I am really smart, but I don't really think about that, I'm just a regular filly who-" "No, your're an extraordinary student, if I was a teacher I would send you straight to Canterlot's school for special unicorns." You compliment as you point randomly towards the ceiling. "Uhhh..... what are you pointing at?" "I don't know!!!" You shout as you and the filly both give a hearty laugh. "Alright now, is there anything else you need help with?" "Unnn no that that I think of, I am kinda hungry though." She states as she creates a puppy dog face and stares straight at you in the eyes. UGH! They should make a law against that. You drop your head down low with a smile as you let out a cheery sigh. "Alright, so what do you want to eat?" "Can I have Mc. Trotnolds?" "Sure, now we can't leave you here alone, cmon let's go eat there." "Okay!" She said in a beaming tone as she holds your hand and pulls you outside. She drags you all the way towards the fast food restaurant known as Mc. Trotnolds, the two of you stood at the counter as the filly points towards the menu. "Okay soo..... Can I have a Hayngus Mushroom Swiss meal and a cucumber nugget kid's meal for here please?" You ask the cashier mare. "Sure that'll be 13 bits please." You nod as you pull out your pouch and pour out the exact amount of bits, the cashier takes the bits and pulls out the receipt. "Thank you, now can we please have your name so that we can call you when your order is ready?" You offer your name as the cashier mare writes it down on the receipt. "Thank you, we will call you when your order is ready." You nod in thanks at the mare as she takes out two soda cups, you and Dinky both take the soda cups and fill them with drinks of fiz. The cashier calls out your name as you take the tray of food and bring it towards a nearby table where you and the filly sit, eat, and chat. "So uh... What happened at school today Dinky?" "Well, we just got a new teacher, it's the human." she exclaims as she chomped down a whole cucumber nugget. "And he is super cool, that he let us play longer at recess." She states as she created a beaming smile on her face. "Cool, now that that human a job, he will fit in just perfectly in this world." "Yuph he iph phll rhha," she pauses as she gulps down the chunk full of nuggets in her mouth. "I mean, he will fit right in." "Good, now let's finish and get you home before your mother knocks me upside the head." The filly nods as you two finish your meals and walk back to Dinky's home, as you reach the house you look around to see that the lights were still off and no pegasus mailmare was in sight. "Alright she isn't home, now let's get you inside." You approach the door and place your hand on the knob, you turn it to feel a disturbing presence...it's locked. CRAP!!! You turn to the filly with bullets sliding down your head. "Uhh... Dinky do you have a house key?" "N....No...why?" She asks in a nervous tone as she gulps down water of fear. "We're locked out." You confess as the little pony ran around in circles panicking. "Ahhhhh! Watawedo!?!? watawedo!?!? watawedo!?!? watawedooooooooo!?!?!?" You grab hold of the filly breaking her speed as he look her in the eyes. "Calm down, I have an Idea." You let go of the filly as you pull out a lockpick from your pocket and stick both needles into the door knob. "Don't tell your mother I did this." You start to fondle with the locks until you felt the noor being unlocked, you place the picks back in your pocket and open the door. "Wow how'd you learned that?" "Well, I would sometimes loose my key and so I use this in case of emergencies. Now let's get inside." The two of you walk inside as the filly rushed towards the nearest room. Must be the bathroom. You thought as you sat down on the couch and grab the nearest book, Daring Do and the Griffon's Goblet. "Hmmm, well why not." You shrug as you open the book and read, you hear the local flush from the bathroom as Dinky happily skips out of the bathroom. "So, watchu gonna do now?" "I'm going to go take a nap." She announced as she walks upstairs, you shrug and continue to read the book. Hours had passed and Derpy still wasn't home, as you continued to read you finished the conclusion. "So that's why the griffon was possessed by the goblet's power." You spoil out loud as a knocking came from the door. You open the door in surprise to find Derpy outside, this is her house....isn't it? "D-Derpy? Why are you knocking at your own house? I thought you had a house key." "Well that's the thing... I uh..... kinda lost it." She confesses with a sheepish grin. "Well what are you waiting for, get in or you'll catch a cold. Dinky's asleep and I was just waiting till you got home so that I could go home." "Oh okay, you can go home now I have nothing else you need to do." "Alright," You walked pass the mailmare, you stop and turn to see her still watching you with a raised eyebrow as she averted her left hey away from your face. "by the way I already fed Dinky, got her Mc. Trotnolds, nothing big just a kids meal just so you know." "Oh thanks you, you didn't have to buy her lunch." "Well I Didn't know what to feed her, so I went to the next best thing. Fast Food." "Well thank you, now would you like to stay for the night?" She offers as a small rose appears on her cheeks. "Sorry I can't I gotta get home now." The mare nods as you walk down the nightly streets of Ponyville. You walk around finding every lantern light as you twist the diode and ignite the flames shining the spark of warmth. As you finish igniting the lanterns you take a quick glimpse at your clock. It was midnight, so that meant only one thing. Bed Time. You arrive home but you find your mailbox fill with mail, that's odd it's never that full. You open the small door to find bills and your much needed bit checks. But while assorting your mail, you come across a mysterious vague light blue letter, you open it to find a strange message. Meet me at the top of the hill after you blow out the lanterns We need to talk PS: Bring Butter What is this? How does this pony know about your job? And why bring butter? You bring your mail inside as you place the blue letter on the coffee table and walk upstairs. As you lied down on your bed, things raced in your mind like the running of the leaves competition. You slowly close your eyes as you drift off to sleep. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning, this contains spoilers to whoever doesn't watch the show Doctor Who. Don't say i didn't warn you. Chapter 3 Who's Who? You wake up at the peak of dawn, you look outside as it was still dark but morning. You climb out of bed, put on your coat, hat, bit pouch, and place the mysterious blue letter inside your coat. You walk outside as you walk through the silent town as you blow out every black standing candle that lit Ponyville. After you finish you head out towards the nearest open store, cafe, coffee shop, or market, but luckily there was. The S and M store is known for being open 24 hours for much needed goods, you walk down the streets until you find the store. You walk inside as you hear the kakky music and look at the groceries that are available. You walk around until you find the butter section, you grab the cheapest stick of butter you find and quickly pay for it, luckily it was just 1 bit. You walk outside the small town as you walk through the outskirts of Ponyville. You find the nearby hill as you walk up the hill and find a lone blue box. You read the words inscribed on the box which read "Police public call box". You turned puzzled at the words as you look around to find nopony else, you take out the letter to find it's color was matching the box, you scrunch up your hand as you knock on the door. *knock knock knock* "Hold on." You hear a coltish accent as the door opens to find a tan pony with dark brown hair, white button shirt, black pants, light brown coat, and a bow tie appear from the blue box. "Oh it's you, did you bring the butter?" You nod with a confussed expression as you hand the butter over to the mysterious pony as he swipes it from your hand and gulps it down whole. "Ahh, much butter, ha ha get it?" He jokes with a clownish smile on his face. Silence.... "Oh never you mind, now come in, we must talk." "I-In there? That thing is tiny." "Ohh I assure you it's much more." He said as he disappeared inside the box, you gulp down timid juice as you walk inside the strange box. "Oh.....my.....Luna..." You shock to yourself as you found an entire house inside the tiny blue box, you moved around to see if it was a mirage, but no mirrors were in the room, well not the walls at least. "And then you say-" "What is this magic?" The mystery pony's face turned into a hoofix cube with a surprised expression. "Well that's new, usually they would say it's bigger on the inside." "That too, now before I freak out, is this magic?" "Nope, just technology." "Oh, okay....... now I'm going to go outside and freak out." You said as you begin to walk out the way you came but was intercepted as the mystery pony's fingers snapped causing the door to crush tight. "Who are you?" "Well you can just call me The Doctor, don't ask who because it's too dangerous." "Wha-" "Now please sit, we must talk about Derpy." You nod as you take a seat at the nearest chair, The Doctor then brings out a metal like stick and waves a green shining light over your body. He flicks it straight as he gave a good long stare at the stick. "Hmmm.... this is difficult, but I always lie. But this one is not a lie, well....not like the cake but.... I think it's time for her to retire." "Doctor what do you mean?" "I meaaaaaaan, I think you would be right for Derpy." "Who are you her father or something?" "Weelll.... more like her best friend, but I have to leave somewhere. Well actually I wanted to show you something." The Doctor states as he runs to his machine as he flicks, punches, pulls, and twists a few kniks and do dads as the room began to rumble and quake for a brief moment. You struggle as you grab anything to help you stand up straight, after a few more moments of a brief earthquake the rumbling stops as you find the Doctor on the floor. He stands up as he starts barking at the machine. "What happened Sexy? Is your wibbly wabbly broken again? Or is it the Blooky Yuki? Come on you can land better than that." He exclaims as he gives a jokish stare at you. You were confused more than a snail in a battlefield as you find the Doctor completely calm and mad. "Uh..... Doctor, are you talking to your...uh...machine?" "Yes why?" "...........Never mind, so what did you do?" "We went," he pauses as you follow him to his front door. "to the past!" He exclaims as he opens the door to find Ponyville, but it looks the same. "Uh... Doctor, what are you?" "Time lord but that's not important, I wanted to show you something about Derpy." He said as he pointed at a young grey pegasus teenage mare. "Recognize somepony? Wait is that? No it can't be. "Derpy?" "Yeaaaaa...... that's her 15 years ago, she's young and still a high school student. Now I must warn you under the laws of time, don't try to change it or else you'll end up like Pete." "Who's Pete?" "Nopony you should know." He said as he bit his lip. "Now just watch." Derpy happily skipped through the streets of Ponyville as a tall dark figure slowly tailed her a few feet away. As she got near a alleyway the tall figure quickly grabbed the mare as he covered her mouth and brought her to the end of the alley. "Scream and your dead." The victim began to cry as you scrunch your fist and walk towards the thug, you were stopped as a hand tugs you on the shoulder, The Doctor slowly shakes his head at you as you grunt in frustration and pause and watch the horror. Derpy screamed in pain as the thug let out a massive moan as he quickly ran out of the alley leaving Derpy on the cold ground feeling cold and dead. The Doctor grabs you on the shoulder and pulls you towards the blue box. "Come on, I think you know what's going to happen next." You nod as you enter the box, The Doctor activates a couple more buttons and levers as the room shakes and stops. "Now come on, there's more." You nod as you and The Doctor walk outside to find Derpy in a hospital bed, she was holding something white, and large. Was that? "I think I'll name her Dinky, and I want to keep her." "But Derpy why!? You were raped, why do want to keep this problem?" "Because mom, I wanted to prove to you that I can handle responsibility, and so that I don't let this poor little filly suffer from adoption or become a detective looking for me." The Doctor grabs you by the shoulder and drags you back into the box and transports ports you back into Ponyville. "Alright, good to be back in the present. Now that you know Derpy's past I think you should confront her." He said with a stern tone. "What makes you think I have a crush on her?" You ask with a raised eyebrow. "My screwdriver never fails." "That thing was a screw driver?" "Yes, now go out there a confess." He barked as he pushes you towards the direction of Derpy's house. You began to brake The Doctor's force as you push him back. "Hang on Hang on, if your screwdriver never lies then tell me, what's your real name?" "It's just The Doctor." "Well then I'll just tell her that you forced me to do this and that you showed me all of this." You blackmail as The Doctor's face turned shocked as he ran in front of you with bullets of sweat. "Wait wait wait, let's not be so hasty, how about you just take it slow eh?" "Well, if I truly like her, but I'm just doing her a favor cause I feel guilty for what I did." You said in a low tone. "I know. But please take care of her, tell her I went travelling because I'll never return. Don't ask why, the cyberponies or men need to be stopped. So GERONIMO!!!" He shouted as he ran inside his blue box, he closed the door as it began to disappear into thin air. "Uh.....no comment." You said as you look at the sky to notice that it was nearly Celestia's sun jump. You walk home as you found Derpy at your house placing a few letter in your box. You sneak behind the mailmare as you tap her on the shoulder causing her to fly up in surprise as she dropped your mail. "EEP!" "Sorry Derpy." You apologize as you pick up your mail and help Derpy up. "I was just trying to just say hi." "It's okay, wait....what are you doing here? It's too early for you to come out." "Well, I met your friend known as The Doctor." "Oh yea, he's a mysterious stallion, I was going to date him but I found out he was already married. It's funny really." She said as you both chuckle and giggle like foals. "Yea that's pretty funny, well I'm going to get some coffee and I'll stop by your house as your servant." The grey mare's cheeks burned slightly pink as she hid her face. "Oh um... okay see you later." "Late" You walk inside your house and into your kitchen as you pull out a case of joe and pour the bean powder in your mug. You go to your water heater as your brew yourself a black mug of caffeine, you blow on the steam to cool it down and slowly drink the black bean juice. "Alright, fueled up, now to be of service." You walk outside as you head towards Derpy's house with thought's plaguing your mind. Man, I never knew she had a tough past. Well she was raped. Well no shit, but still there's something about her that makes me feel....well something. Yea we know, you hella like her. NO I DON'T!!! Yea you d- SHUT THE BUCK UP! Sure she's cool, funny, and cu-. You stop as you pause that last thought. Do you really have feelings for this mare? You shake your head as your clear your mind and continue to walk towards the mare's house. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4 Be Brave....or Not You walk down the streets of Ponyville as you arrive at Derpy's house, after chugging down the rest of the joe and burning your throat for a brief moment you shake it off and knock on the Mailmare's door. Within a minute the door opens as you find Derpy with her mail uniform on. "Oh it's you, come in I have a surprise for you." You nod as you walk inside, you heard a slight soft snore coming for upstiars. "Doesn't Dinky have school today?" "Today is Saturday." She said as you facehoofed causing the mare the giggle at your embarrassment. "Guess somepony woke up on the wrong side of the bed." "Yea, well I didn't really sleep at all." "What? Why?" She exclaims in surprise. "Well first of all I work as the lantern adjuster, I turn on and off the lanterns around Ponyville. When I have to turn them off I have to wake up at like 5 am since there's so many lanterns. And so today The Doctor wanted to see me after I finish and so he basically uhh..... showed me some cool stuff which kept me up." You avert the past as you focus on the present. "Huh that's strange, he usually doesn't let strangers inside the TARDIS." "Is that the name of the blue box he lives in?" "Yep, but if you're tired you should get some sleep." She offered in a worried tone. "What? No I gotta-" You were interrupted as a hand was placed on your lips, little did you know that a small beat hit the inside of you're chest like a drum. "I order you to sleep." She commanded as you gave a long defeated sigh as you stare at the mare. "You can sleep at my place until you get back on your feet, when you finish do you mind going with Dinky, she want's to go to her club but I don't want her to go alone." "Sure, I'll just sleep on the couch here and-" "N-No, you can sleep on my bed, my treat." She pleaded as a faint shade of pink shrouded her cheeks. "No I can-" "No I insist, you'll need a healthy back if you're gonna be my servant." She persuaded as you nod and head upstairs, you walk into her room and to your surprise you find The Doctor lying down on her bed. "D-Doctor?" "Shhhh." That suddenly forced your mouth to stay silent. "Now don't scream my name and we'll be crystal." You gave a small nod. He gives a small shush as your mouth is suddenly free from what ever Faust could see or hear. "Well Doctor I've been wondering, that pony who uh...abused Derpy, did he serve his time?" The Doctor stood up from the bed as he gave a grieving sigh. "No, he's not. He's been on the run since then and neither I or Sexy couldn't find him." "That reminds me, who are you?" The Doctor gave an annoyed groan as he face palmed and dragged his hand down his face."I already told you, I'm a time-" "No, I mean are you really a pony? Or some sort of alien?" "Oh, well yes. You could say that I'm an alien." He said in a calm tone. You widen your eyes in surprise and shock as you just found sompony who looks completely human....but is an alien. "Okay, I want to freak out but I don't know if I should." The Doctor took out his metal stick as he waved a green light around you. "Hmmm, I know." He reached into his pocket as he pulled out a small tablet. "Here's a tabeek, helps soothe the mind." He said as he offered the tablet. You slowly push his hand away as you give him a "Uhh.... I'm good. So back to the point, why are you here? And in Derpy's house?" You ask in confusion. "I wanted to give you something." He said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a massive book. You slightly jump back as you saw him take out a large book, from a tiny pocket. "H-How did you-" "It's bigger on the inside, now come and look at these photos." You slowly follow as The Doctor shows you multiple photos of Derpy and himself on weird backgrounds and strange creatures. "And these are the adventures we had together. Boy it was brilliant!" He exclaimed as he slammed the book shut and placed it back in his tiny pocket. "Aaaaand what's the point in this exactly?" "Fun." He simply said as he opened Derpy's window and jumped off. You were shocked as if this stallion was committing suicide, oh wait... he was. "DOCTOR!!!" You scream as you run towards the window and look outside to find no trace of him, he had completely disappeared. "Where's he gone off to now?" You shrug as you release a massive yawn and slump down on Derpy's bed, you swiftly drift to sleep as you were in your own world now. *poke poke poke* You felt a disturbing touch as you were fast asleep, you ignore it and continue with your slumber. The last thing that you need was no sleep. *poke poke poke* There it was again, who was doing that, can't they see that you were sleeping? You continue to ignore it as you heard a slight peak of voice as it called out to your name. Your eyes crack open as you stare at Derpy's alarm clock, the time read 9 o'clock A.M., wait a minute, 9 A.M.? You slowly open your eyes as you continue to feeling a slight disturbance on your coat. "Are you dead?" You recognize the voice as you turn your head to find Dinky in her pajamas and with a confused expression on her face. "Uh.... mister, are you dead?" You shot open your eyes and you spring up from the bed sitting up and staring at the confused filly. "Oh it's only you Dinky, sorry I was just taking a nap on your mom's bed." "What are you doing here? And why were you sleeping in mommy's bed?" "Well I couldn't sleep and when I got here she offered me her bed. She told me to take you to your clubhouse." You said as the filly sprung up with glee and ran down the stairs in joy. "Yaaaaaaay, Cutie Mark Crusaders!!!" She screamed as she went into her room and came out with a red cape. "Let's go, Let's go cmooooon let's go!" She pouted as she held on to your leg like glue. You give a small chuckle as you hold the filly's hand and walk her to her club, or in this case she drags you through Ponyville. She drags you to the well known Sweet Apple Acres as she drags you through the orchards. On your way there you found the well known Applejack picking nearby trees, she pauses at the sight of you and walks up for a talk. "Wah howdy, Ah haven't seen ya in a while." "Well same goes to you Applejack, sorry for the trouble but Derpy wanted me to drop of Dinky at her friend's clubhouse." "Wah that's mighty nice of ya, wah ya doing this for Derpy though?" "Well I kinda owe her a dept, so I'm basically her servant." You confessed in a sheepish grin. "Well Ah respect your decision, just look out for her okay?" "Aight, late Applejack." You said as you waved at the cowmare and continued walking through the fields with Dinky. As the two of you reach the club house, three other fillies popped their heads out of the window and cheered in grace. "Dinks!" The white unicorn said in glee "Dinky!" The yellow earth pony cheered "Eyyyyyy Dink." The orange pegasus eyyyed. Dinky lets go of your hand as the three fillies unveil a small ladder for Dinky to climb up on. As she climbed up she waved towards you and screams at the top of your lungs. "Mister I can take care of myself here. Thank you for taking me here. See you later at home." She thanked as you nod and simply wave to her as you walk away from their little club. Alight, now where should I go? I got nothing else to do and- You pause for a moment as you found The Doctor running past you with a worried expression. As he runs a few feat past you, he stops and looks at you in surprise. "You! Follow me I need your help now!" He pleaded. "Wait Doctor I-" Too late, he made the decision for you as he grabbed you by the shirt and dragged you down the road. He used your shoes as breaks as you and The Doctor pause. "Doctor, what is going on?" "No time, I need to find a good way to unlock a door without using my screw driver!" "Wait, that thing was a screw driver? Looks for like a probe." The Doctor let out a small groan in annoyance as he dragged his hand across his face. "No it's a screw driver, now help me!" "Aight aight, I can help. I am good at lock picking." "Alright follow me!" You nod as the doctor leads you towards the dark terror landscape known as the Everfree Forest. He guides you through the dark forest as he leads you to a wooden log house. You start to become confused as the only resident in the forest was Zecora, but this wasn't her home, it's somepony else's home. The Doctor leads you to the wooden house as he gestures a hand for you to open the door, but you look at him in confusion. "What?" "Okay, first tell me why you need to go inside this house. Second, tell me why your probe-" "Screwdriver." The Doctor corrected in a annoyed tone. "screwdriver, can't open this door." You command. "Okay one, is because there's a distress signal coming from this house. And two, my screwdriver doesn't work on wood or anything organic. And three, the lock is made of wood, which is strange..." He explains as he pulled out his 'screwdriver' and flashes it over the door, nothing happened as he tried to open it but couldn't budge. You walk over to the lock as you pull out your picks from your pocket. "Alright lemme try." You gently place your picks in the keyhole as you slowly move the lock as you hear a click, the one you want. You turn the knob as you and The Doctor find a completely empty room with a wooden pony statue standing in the middle. "Uh.... Doctor, what is this place?" The doctor walked towards the statue as he gently pressed his fingers on it and slowly brush his fingers across the wood. "No. Not again, not in this world." The Doctor fears as he started to knock on the statues head causing you to become more confused. "Yes hello? Yes I can take you to a better home if you are in need of a new one, no need to fear me. I've done this before." The statue's head slowly moved and creaked as it nodded at The Doctor. "GAAHHH!!! That thing just moved! What the moon is that!?!?" You exclaim in fear as you point at the living statue. "No need to worry, I got this from here. You can go see Derpy now, she is home right now and she looks bored." The doctor states with a calm smile. "How do you know she's home?" "I know time, now go and don't turn back." He warns in a stern tone as you nod timidly and run like a filly back to Ponyville, geesh when are you this wimpy? As you reach Ponyville in relief you walk towards to Derpy's house as The Doctor instructed. Why am I going back to her house again? Because you liiiiiike her, ha ha ha Okay I don't like like her, I just like her as a friend. Sure you do. Shut up, I'm just going to her place to help her in anything she needs any help. Yea yea, help her in bed. SHUT THE BUCK UP!!! You screamed to your devil as you reached Derpy's house. You approach the door as you knock on it seeing if she was home. *knock knock knock* No answer *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* Nothing *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* Close but no cigar. You drop your head in disappointing as you turn around to find the exact mare you were looking for. "Oh Derpy, there you are." "Oh hey you, good thing I found you. I actually really need help." "Whatchu need help with?" "I need help to clean the house, I have a guest coming soon." "Ohhhh somepony I know?" "It's a surprise." She said in a warm smile as she pulls out a key from her pocket and unlocks the front door. The two of you enter to see that the house spotless. The two of you both had surprised looks as you could see your own reflection on the wooden floor. "Uh...Derpy, who did this?" You ask in confusion. "I think it was The Doctor. Well then, I guess we just wait for my friend to get here." She said with a slight giggle as she sat down on the couch, she patted her hand on the cusion making a 'come sit with me' gesture as you nod and sat next to her. You slightly feel a slight warmth slice across your cheeks as you sat a few inches away from the mare. "So who is this pony you're waiting for?" You ask in a friendly smile The pegasus lowers her head in shame as she let out a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry I haven't been truthful to you. This pony I'm meeting was-" she stops as you both hear a knocking from the door. "waaaaaas?" "Waaaas um..... Lemme get the door." She averted as a massive blush strikes her face causing her face to become pink like a cherry blossom. She opened the door to find Dinky standing outside with bawling out as she buried her face on her mother's chest. "D-Dinky what happened!?!?" The mother asks in a worried expression. "Some mean stallion came over and stole Scootaloo's scooter. I tried to defend her but he threw a rock at me and made off with the scooter." She explains through tears as she continued to cry. You stood up from the couch as you grab Dinky's face and make her face towards you. "Dinky focus on me, what did this stallion look like and where did he go?" You interrogate in a stern tone. "I *sniff* I don't know, I think I saw him head towards the rotten cider bar." She describes as Derpy hugged her daughter closer. You stood up in a calm anger as you simply walk out towards the bar. "Now you bucked up." > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5 Goodbye You angrily march your way through the streets of Ponyville as you found the familiar white unicorn filly sobbing on the streets as a taller white unicorn with a curly purple mane placed a shoulder around her comforting her. You approach the unicorns as the mare looks up at you with a face that could kill Celestia. "ARE YOU THE ONE WHO DID THIS!? YOU BRUTE!" The mare screams as she raises a fist and strikes your face, you endure in pain as your cheeks turns violet. The unicorn filly grabs the unicorn mare in fear as she cries in plead. "Rarity no stop it, that's not him!" The filly pleaded as the mare dropped her fist with a timid expression on her face. "Oh no! Are you alright darling? My sincere apologies I didn't-" You object the mare as you place a hand in front of her face. "It's alright, where's the thief?" The unicorn filly walked up to you as she hugged you in safety. "He went to the nearby alley way just down the street." The filly informed as you stomp your way down the streets. You walk along the streets looking for any hints as you come across a faint snicker. It was sounds of greed and cruelty, you follow the snickering as you reach said alley way. You come closer as the greedy laughter began to grow and grow tall as you quickly hid behind a nearby dumpster bin and peek through the corner. You find a stallion laughing to himself as he started to dissemble the scooter piece by piece. "Hey!" You intimidate as the thief turns around with a face twisted as swirls. "Yea? Whut ye want?" He spoke in an brutish tone. "I want that scooter, give it back or else." "Ye, you an wut ahmy?" "These two armies." you proclaim as you hold out your two fists. "Meet mustang, and sally." "A fight, meh yu's been BO!" He mocked as he ran in front of you with fists ready. He thrust his left fist at you but you hang right a little as the intercept his arm as you block and wrap your left arm around his. You raise your right arm as you brought down your elbow capping the stallion's arm as you let go and watch him scream in pain saying "Ahhh you mudda bucka! Yu'd pay for dis!" He said as he picked up the neck of the scooter, brought it up, and swung it downwards towards your left shoulder. You grab his opposing wrist as you wrap your arm around his and kick the back of his knees causing him to kneel in unjust. You take your right hand as you grab the scooter's neck from his trapped arm and struck at the thief's face... twice causing the nose to bleed and the eyes to become puffy. You drop the stallion as he'd become paralyzed from pain, you quickly wipe off the blood from the pipe on to your shirt as you take a nearby cardboard box and stack the supply of scooter parks in the box. As you start to walk away from the thug you realize your biggest mistake. "Shit, I promised myself I wouldn't kill anyone here." You reminded yourself as you clear away from the alleyway and make way towards Derpy's house. As you walk with the box of parts you felt an uneasy presence on your left side. You turn around to find- "Hello!" You jump back as your found The Doctor come out of nowhere. You stood up as you faced The Doctor with a face that could almost kill Celestia. "What? Oh, sorry about that scooter. Lemme fix that for ya." He said as he pulled out his screwdriver and flashed it over the box of parts, the scooter parts began to levitate as the parts began to puzzle together as a new, shinny, and efficient scooter appeared before your eyes. The newly repaired scooter then levitates back into your box as you shake your head into normality. "Thanks Doctor, but why are you here? And why can't you just call out my name before you appear out of nowhere?" You said in a frustrated tone as you pick up the scooter in the box and walk towards Derpy's house. "Well I'm sorry, I thought I might keep you company for my last day here." That surprised you as you remember that he told you he was going away...forever. "So you're leaving? Forever?" The Doctor gave a heavy sigh as he pulled out a different metal device with a blue tip on it. "Yes, I've been meaning to see Derpy personally but that would just hurt her even more, so I need you to do something for me." "What?" He places the silver rod in your box as he presses one button on it. "Flash this over Derpy for about 10 seconds when she's asleep...she will forget all about me." He explains as you nearly drop the box and instead drop your jaw. "W-What? Why Doctor? And what is it?" You ask in a surprise tone. "Well first it's a different screwdriver." "Then why do you want me to do this?" "Let me tell you something," he said as you both sat down on a nearby bench. "So when Derpy and I were traveling all across time and space, I noticed that she had a crush on me the entire time. Well she can't because of well....problems. One, becuase I'm an alien. And two, is because I already have uh....special somepony." He explains as you slowly nod in understanding, facts are facts man. "But why delete her memory?" "Because, if she found out that I left her within memory, she would be depressed more than a rat stuck in glue trying to get cheese. I don't want to hurt her and this is the only way. If her memory is deleted, she won't experience any pain, but just make sure that she doesn't remember me." "Why?" you asked in confusion. "Her mind will burn and she will die." He said in a cold tone as he stood up from the bench. "Now I must leave, 'Silence will fall when the question is asked' and I came to make one last stop." He said with a smile. "So I guess this is goodbye." He said as you stood up and shook his hand. "Yes it is, goodbye. But I will come back one day, I swear on it." The Doctor pulled out his screwdriver and pointed it straight up, he flash it for a few seconds as he disappeared right before your very eyes. With his departure you continue with your quest with a new objective as you find Derpy's house and walk towards it with the box of a scooter and screwdriver. As you reach Derpy's house you knock on the door but to find it slightly open, you open the door to find a sleeping Dinky on the couch. You chuckle to yourself as you walk inside and close the door behind you, you place the box next to the couch and place the screwdriver in your pocket. You sit down next to Dinky as she wraps around you arm like a teddy bear. "Mmmmm Daddy..." She softly purrs as she quietly snores. You chuckle as you hear tip toeing on the stairs, you look to find Derpy with a letter, a red one which is strange. She looks at you in surprise as she drops the red letter and swiftly picks it up as he face turns to a rose like color and places the letter behind her back. "Y-Your here!" She exclaims in surprise. You place a finger on your lips as you point at the sleeping filly. "Oh sorry." She whispers. "So what are you doing here? And how did you get here?" "Well one I thought I might give the scooter to Dinky since she knows the owner of the scooter. And I'm kinda sleepy." You said as you laid your back against the couch. "Yea me to." She said as she let out a soft yawn. "Mind if I uh.... nap next to you?" She asks as your cheeks turns to slight pink. "Uh...sure." You nervously answered as Derpy sits next to you as she leans on your shoulder. "Don't you have work?" "That's what I thought, but a blue letter came for my boss and he immediately gave me the whole day off." She explained as you think about the blue letter. This must be The Doctor's sign, looks like this is the one shot I'll have to do. "Yea that is strange in fact I-" You let out a fake yawn as you lay back your head against the couch. "-sorry I'm just sleepy." You said as you close your eyes and await patiently for Derpy to fall asleep. Minutes had past as you open your eyes to find the small family fast asleep on your sides. You slowly reach into your right pocket not trying to create a noise, as you slowly pull out the silver screwdriver, you point the blue end at Derpy's face as you press the only button on the rod as the sounds of mystery fills your ears. You do as The Doctor asks and flash it over her face for 10 seconds, after that the light automatically turns off and vanishes into thin air as a blue paper folded note is replaced on the palm of your hand. You unfold it as a light beams into your eyes as you see a message in thin air. Ello sweetie, I'm his special one, thanks and 'shhh' about Derpy's past, no spoilers The message disappears as well as the note as the paper crumples by itself and creates a small harmless explosion causing Derpy and Dinky snap open in surprise. "What happened!?" Derpy asks in surprise as you look around for an excuse. "Ehh.... I don't know, maybe Rainbow did another rainboom." You stand up from the couch as you let out a loooooooong yawn, and a real one this time. "Well I'm still tired and sleepy, I'll just go home and-" "Wait!" You were stopped as Derpy places a hand on your shoulder causing you to turn whitish pink. "Why not stay for dinner? I mean we always love to have company." She offers as you nod at the grey mare. "Sure, why not? I couldn't just let a offer go to waste." You exclaim in a gleeful tone. "So what's for dinner?" The grey mare quickly flies to her refrigerator as she looks through the desert wasteland of fridge. "Ummm." She was feared as she had no food left to feed her guest. You lean forward to find the empty chest of food, but then suddenly an idea hit your head. "Hey don't worry about it, how 'bout I take us all to Sugar Cube Corner. My treat." You offer. "No No No it's okay I...uh..." She tries to avert as she looks through every drawer, cabinet, and closet to find food to serve. You place a hand on the mare's head touching her soft hair as she paused and felt numb to her legs and straight to her wings. "Please I insist, I still owe you after all." The mailmare let out a soft sigh as she gave you a deep long hug. "Thank you, you're the only pony who cared." Looks like it worked for real, I'm really sorry Derpy. The mailmare releases you from her hug as the three of you walk outside and towards Sugar Cube Corner. "Can I ride on your shoulders?" Asked Dinky as you smile at the filly and pick her up and place her over your shoulders as she cheers and laughs in joy. "Thanks mister, you're like the dad I've never had." She exclaims as your's and Derpy's faces turn rose and crimson as you look at each other in embarrassment. You both slightly chuckle as the heat through your faces slowly fades away as you reach the treat covered house. You open the door for the two as you enter last, Pinkie Pie hops towards you with a happily gleefully face of joy. "Hiya Derpy, you look happy!" The pink mare exclaimed as she embraced a comforting hug at Derpy who hugged back. "Yea I'm all better, especially after what happened to Dinky." "Hey Pinkie, can we get a table for 3?" "Okie Dokie Lokie, just follow me." She said as she grab three menus and lead you and the small family towards a nearby table. You pull up chairs for the mare and filly as you were the last to sit, the waitress lies down the menus for you as you open them to search for a meal. "Alrighty then, I'll be back later to take your order, but for now would you like anything to drink?" "I'll have a water." You order. "Colk please." recommended Derpy "And can I have an orange juice please?" asked Dinky "Sure thing, now-" She paused as she pulled out a pair of black sunglasses and stood still with a hand open in front of us. "A'll be baak" She said in a germanian accent as she hopped away with your order leaving you and Derpy confused while Dinky giggled at Pinkie's joke. "Uhhhh..... no comment." You said as you looked through the menu. "So watchu gonna get?" you ask as you skim through the food menu. "Uhhh I don't know, maybe a salad or something, what about you?" "Hmm I think I'll have a-" ---After their dinner and a lazy scene to make up food names--- The three of you walk back to Derpy's house after a wonderful dinner. "Ahhh I'm full, to bad we couldn't get dessert." Dinky pouted as you and Derpy chuckle at the complaint. "Well I don't want you to get a stomach ache, and besides-" Derpy paused as she points at you. "I don't think he doesn't have much money left." "Ehh....." You look in your pouch to only find a few bits inside... uh oh. "Uh... I only got like 10 more, guess I'm gonna starve and stay homeless for a few days." You proclaim as you stare down at the face of bankruptcy as your shoulder is greeted by a hand. "What do you mean homeless?" "My rent's due at the end of tomorrow and I don't have enough bits now." "Hey don't worry, you can stay at our place, seems that this is our fault anyways." She offers as she smiles at you. "Thanks Derpy your a real friend." You thank as you give her a hug. "C'mon you can stay at our place tonight and go back to your place in the morning." "Thanks." Luna's night was awoken, the creepers, and buggers, and nibblers are awake and the silver moon is planted in the night soil sky. The town's lanterns were blown black until one still lit golden red as the flame was about to see it's rest. As you blow out the last flame, you make way towards your house until you find somepony loitering on your front porch. You walk up to the pony who chewed on a toothpick and flipped a coin numerous times, you knew this pony but he looked...older when you last saw him. "I know you, your the master thief and street fighter from Canterlot are you." He gossips as he blocks your front door causing your fist to clench in frustration. "I don't know if you know me but I-" "You were the one who raped that little pony 15 years ago you bitch." You said in a cold tone as you swing your fist at the stallion's gut and grab his head bringing it to your kneecap. He falls back to the floor as he gets back up in defiance. "Ehhh guess somepony knows about that, how'd you know?" He asks as he held his fists in front of his face and slightly hopped side to side. "I don't have to answer that. And I retired from Canterlot and started a new life here." "Well I heard that you can pick good, but seeing my face I could already tell you declined my future offer. So now me and my boys a' gonna teach you a lesson." He said in a loud tone as 4 more stallion came from the nearby camouflaged shadows. "Boys get 'im." The leader announced as the 4 thugs ran at you, you jump back and watch as the clumsy thugs bash into each other like bowling pins. As they fall to the floor, get back up, and shake their heads in sense , one charges at you as he thrusts his fist at you. You slightly pull your right sight back as the thug misses and you grab his fist with your right hand and slap his face with your left leaving the thug stunned. During his post palatalization you bring your right fist straight on his nose as he begins to fall backwards, but with your left hand still gripped to his wrist, you fully grasp his arm as you bent it upwards creating a stick that was snapped in two....a white hidden stick. The thug yelled in pain as he passed out on the floor. The other three thugs began to charge at you as you pause in intimidation, you can't take three at one. You close your eyes fro the worse as silence fell upon your ears. You open your eyes to find a fist mere centimeters from your face but it stopped like a frozen pony, you move normally as nopony could move at all. You look around to find a familiar blue box sitting right behind you with an unfamiliar pony standing outside. "D-Doctor? Is that you?" "Yes." The doctor wore a white coat with a black fedora as he held his screwdriver in the air holding the release button. You walk up to the doctor as he simply smiled at you. "Now if you're wondering it is me, same but different. It's a way of cheating death, except I take in a new shape and form. New body, mouth, fingers, hair and I wish it was ginger-" he pouted. "teeth, eyes, legs, toes, ecetera ecetera, but you get the point." You nod as you had no idea what he is talking about, but you just 'go with the flow' and nod in agreement. "So why did you come back Doctor?" "Well first the TARDIS detected a distress signal leading here, so I came and knew exactly what to do. I used a co-time vortex wave to stop time for a few minutes, you have just enough times to lay trap or knock down those thugs of yours. Now go, you only got five more minutes and I must go. Sayonara!" He said as he went inside his box and disappeared into thin air. You walk up the three charging thugs as you punched, kicked, and struck them to your hearts content as they were still frozen in time. You then walk up to the leader and rapist as you did one thing any stallion would do for sweet revenge. You kicked him in his apples numerous times as you began to strike him in his face and punch him in the chest. You walk inside your house and look outside with only seconds to spare. *tick tock tick tock tick tock* Ahhhhhhhhhhhh All of the thugs screamed as they dropped in immense pain that shot throughout all of their bodies at the same time. The leader felt the most as he felt something numb in his pants. They all fell to the floor as you close your window curtains and pack up for a new home, an awesome home. As you pack up your essentials you open the door to find your landlord with a few papers labeled EVICTION. "Sir you are gonna have to leave." He said in a stern tone. "And I am, don't worry I pack up and everything. The house is somewhat clean and I am ready to move out." Your landlord had a surprised look on his face as he simply crumpled up the eviction notices and put them in his pocket. "I'll see ya later." You said as you walk away from your landlord, that was the last you saw of him. You walk with your backpack full of essentials down the streets of Ponyville on your way towards Derpy's house. You close your eyes as you remember the past, you killed, stole, and became somewhat of a monster. But the real problem is, the past is always the future, it's mention, told, learned, but things will always remain as they were to be.The hardest part, is whether to tell Derpy, or not. I'm probably going to be homeless, but 'you only live once' and I only got one life. Good luck to me. You arrive at Derpy's house as you turn the knob, it was locked. You knock on the door and awaited patiently for a response...no response. You groan in annoyance as you look up at the window which was lit up, you grab a small nearby pebble as you throw it at the lit window. The small piece of earth makes contact to the pony made glass making a *tink* noise, but still no response. Time to take things into drastic measures. You reach into your pocket as you take out two picks, you pick the lock as you open it to find it empty and deserted. Where is shy? You thought as you walk around the empty black room, you slowly walk upstairs watching your step as you reach a small line of light, Derpy's room. You slowly creak open the door as you saw the most horrific, embarrassing, and yet most exciting thing that you could never unsee ever again. What laid in front of you was Derpy Hooves, laying against her back as her legs were spread apart as she struggled to apply on socks. You both felt red as a steaming pot, you quickly place your hands over your eyes and slowly close the door leaving Derpy red as a rose. You calmly walk down stairs as you set you backpack near the couch as you faint from all three reactions on the couch. Several hours had passed as you awoke from your tortures scene, you could still see it in your eyes as if it was glued there. You open your eyes to the sight of Derpy in front of your face, her eyes were still lopped but were in a sad way. "I'm sorry." Were the only words she spoke as you wrap your arms around her in acceptance. "No, I'm sorry Derpy. I should've knocked before I got in. I should've told you sooner." "Told me what?" She asks curiously as she breaks the hug between you two. You look down as you gave a heavy sigh. "Sit down, it's a long story. And no matter what I tell you, I hope you could forgive me." You both sat down next to each other as Derpy places a wing on your back as she wrapped you in a blanket of comfort. "Derpy, I think it's time to tell you who I was..." DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN > Chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 The Crow ---3 years ago--- "Boss, so we gonna pull this off or what?" a fellow talon asks "Yes, we wait until the torch is lit. When it is, you throw the spear at the castle window so we can zip line over there and get inside the castle." You command as you look afar past the castle of Canterlot. You notice a small orange star flaring past the castle, you and your partner nod as your partner picks up a spear with rope tied to it and throw it at the castle. The spear whistles in the wind as it strikes the marble white walls of the castle above a window, you tie the other end of the rope to the rooftop as you tied it straight as a stick. You reach into your bag as you pull out two hooks, you hand one to your partner as you place the hook on the rope. "Well nothing ventured, nothing gained." You exclaimed as you jump off the rooftop and slide across the rope holding the hook tight as you stop against the wall. You patiently wait until your partner arrived next to you as he pulls out a small bottle of blue liquid from his pocket. "Okay boss, this is the potion. Let's us go through glass easily." "Alight, let's split it and split out." You command as your partner takes a quick shot from the bottle leaving half for you. You take the potion as you gulp down the rest as you feel your coat and skin tingle. You slowly place your hand against the glass as it smoothly goes through like butter. You jump through the window not breaking anything as you land and look around for any guards. You gave your partner a thumbs up making a 'coast is clear' sign as he jumps through the window. "Alright I'll take this hallway and you take the other. I'll find the treasure." Your partner informs "And I'll take the head of the captain." You said in a cold tone. You both split as you silently walk through the dark hallways of Canterlot Castle. You hear nearby footsteps as you quickly hid in the shadows of a nearby column. You patiently wait as you see a guard walk past you, you sneak up behind him as you quickly wrap your arms around his head and twist it causing his neck to snap in death. You take the corpse as you hid it in the shadows so that nopony could find him, for now. You sneaked the rest of the way until you found a lit room but guarded by a few guards, you reach into your pocket as you take out a few darts dripping in purple liquid. You carefully throw the darts at each guard as they fell to the floor felling nothing, not even their lungs. You walk towards the door as you turn the knob to find that it's locked. You take out two picks as you pick the lock open, you open the door as you find a few bags full of bits and bars of gold. You take your backpack as you fill as many bits as you could inside, you turn to leave as you were stopped as a spear met mere centimeters from your face. You push the spear away as you found a stallion in platted purple armor, it's your target. "The Crow! I've been trying to catch you ever since I was a sargent, now I have you." The captain said in a cold tone as swung is spear at you. You quickly jumped back dodging the attack as you pull out your hook in self defense. "Alright Captain Armor, I will take your head for extra money." You pronounced as the captain thrust his spear at your chest. You move right as you grab the spear and slammed your elbow on the handle breaking the stick. Captain Armor then pulled out a sword from his waist as he swung it down on your head. You black it as you take the open part of the hook as you twist the hook and flick the sword out of the captains hand. The captain steps back as he reached the hallway. "I need some assistance here, it's The Crow!" The captain pleaded as several more guards came running at your direction. One guard swings his spear as he knocks the hook from your hand, you were now disarmed. The same guard then thrusts his spear at you, you quickly kick it away with your foot as you grab the spear and jab the wooden part in his gut causing him to lose grip of his spear and keeping it for yourself. You take the spear as you jabbed the spear in the stallion's gut, but to finish him off you run towards the stallion as you stuck almost half the spear inside the guard. You twist the spear as his guts started to burst into blood and death as the stallion looses breath and dies, painfully. You pull out your spear as another guard swings his spear downwards at you, you block is as you bring the bottom of the spear up to his jaw as he spun and faced away from you. With the strike the spear, you twirl around as you bring the tip of the spear into the guard's spine as you screamed in pain and suffering. He knelt down in pain as you placed a foot on the stallion's back and pushed his face against the cold hard marble floor. You turn to another guard as you bring the tip of your spear upward into his jaw, the blade goes through his coat as the spear went all the way through his jaw to out of his scalp. You felt stress come to your mind, soul, and mostly arms as you couldn't take too much. You take the spear as you throw it at a nearby guard, the spear makes contact as it impales the stallion in the skull. You reach into your pocket as you full out several small balls, you throw them all to the ground as a cloud of black smoke appeared. You quickly make way away from the guards as they coughed and argued in confusion. As you fled away from the guards, you reach the window you arrived in. You try to go through it but alas, the potion had worn off. "Ugh, why does things have to be so ironic?" You ask yourself as you tightened your fist as you punch a hole in the window leaving scars on your hand. You quickly shake the glass shards off your hand as you kick the rest of the glass down, you look around as you found a nearby cart full of pillows passing by. You breathed in as you jumped off the building, with nothing by destiny by your side, you land in the pillow cart unharmed as you quickly step out. You look around to see no guards as you run towards a nearby dark alley. "Okay, I'm safe now." You said to yourself as you slump down against a wall receiving a much deserved rest. "Wake up you." You hear a familiar voice as you shoot open your eyes to find the captain holding a spear to your throat. You quickly slap the spear away from his hands as you grab a nearby booze bottle and clock him in the head knocking him out. You quickly grab his spear as you held it up ready to kill. You pause as you look over to find a picture hanging out from his armor, you pick up the picture to find of a family of unicorns and an alicorn. You remember the wedding of Canterlot but you weren't there to ruin the moment. You take a close look at the photo. Author's note: For obvious reasons, I couldn't find an anthro family picture of Shinning's family. Just imagine that they are anthro. You saw a family, a happy family. You killed several stallions, fully grown ones to. Who knows how many families that you have ruined just today. What quickly caught your eye is the little purple unicorn, she was young and looked as if she loved her big brother. What have I done? You slowly place the the picture in his pocket as you drop the spear and leave the crime scene. You pause for a second as you take a dark rock and carve a note near the unconscious captain. You quickly pace away from the captain as you disappeared from the captain. As you ran you run into another alley as you found your partner in crime resting after today's heist. "Hey Nightline, you got the treasure?" "Yea boss, you kill the captain?" "No." You said in a flat tone as your partner had a surprised look on his face. "Why boss? I thought killing him was all part of the plan." "Lemme tell you what I saw." You said as you sat down next to your partner. "I knocked him out with a beer bottle nearby. When I about to jab him with his own spear, I found a picture in his suit. I picked it up to find a family, a happy family that he loved with all of his heart. I killed about 5 guards today, who goes to say how many families I ruined throughout my life. I also spotted a young unicorn mare, I figured it was his little sister. I just couldn't imagine how that little sister would live without an older sibling to learn life from. I just couldn't find it in myself to do it." You explain as you drop your head in disappointment. "I think I'm gonna retire from this business." "Yea I was thinking of quitting stealing, well see ya around boss." "Remember to give 75% to the local orphanage." "Right boss, I'll possibly give it all to them. Those orphans need the money." "Good, go ahead and do that, I guess this is it." "Yes it is boss, it's been a good run. I'll possibly just get a job and raise money for them." "Good for you, I'll move somewhere else, start a new life y'know?" "Yea, well see ya boss." Nightline That was the last you ever saw of him. ---Present--- "And that's who I was Derpy, I was a murderer, a thief, and a thug. It is how I got my lock picking skills, which is also how I got in your house. I'm sorry for not telling. If you don't wish to be friends anymore then I would understand. "No." She said in a calm smooth tone. "I forgive you, in fact I'm proud of what you've done. Other than the fact that you murdered, but it was in self defense. In fact, even if you killed, stole, and robbed any pony in Canterlot, I know you still have a heart. You gave money to a local orphanage, I know you have a heart for all the little fillies and colts who don't have a mother. In fact, I've been holding a secret from you as well." You raise an eyebrow in confusion as you place a hand on the mare's shoulder. "What is it Derpy?" "I...I...I....Ohhh I can't say it!" She exclaims as she grabs your head and presses her lips against hers. Her lips were soft like feathers as her tongue had the taste of muffins of all flavors and textures. You were surprised by this move but accepted it as you return the kiss moving your tongue with hers. The kiss was blissful as chocolate with a side of wine. The kiss lasted for seconds? minutes? hours? Who cares, you didn't want it to end. Derpy pulls her head away as she breaks the kiss and looks in the eyes. "I love you." She confessed as her face felt and looked red as the sun as you gave a small peck on her cheek causing her the melt in her legs. "I love you too Derpy, and thank you." "Your welcome, but we aren't friends. We are more than that, we are a couple." "I know, I know." You let out a long yawn as you lay down on the couch as Derpy rests her head on your chest. "I think I need a nap." "Me too, I have to go back to work tomorrow." "I wonder how Dinky will feel about this." The mailmare giggled as she let out a soft hum on your chest. "I bet she would be happy." You slowly slid your eyelids as they were about to close. *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* You heard a loud banging from the front door as you rose up and answered the door. You found several pegasi guards with a cage of the thugs that you knocked out. "Are you the one who knocked out these thugs?" "Yes I am." "Well we would like to thank you for your assistance for catching this crook. He's been on the run for 15 years, and he had a bounty on him. 2000 bits, congratulations sir." "Wow that is a large sum of bits. But I'll just take 250 bits, give the rest to the orphanage in Canterlot please." "Are you sure sir?" The guard asked with an eyebrow raised in confusion. "Yes." "Okay sir." The guard said as he pulled out a checkbook as he wrote down a check for 250 bits and gave it to you. "Have a nice day sir, stay safe." The pegasus guard said as he ordered his fellow brothers to fly the cage of criminals to Canterlot. You take the check of bits as you wave goodbye to the guards and close the door leaving you and Derpy all alone. "Well Derpy we are alone, I think some contact is available." You cooed as you sat next to Derpy who giggled and sat closer to you. "I think so too." She said as she leaned in closer to you and gave you a long passionate kiss. You both break the kiss as you pick up Derpy like a baby and carry her to her bedroom. You gently place her on the bed and lock the door as you both stayed in there...........................for several hours of pleasure.................................and other activities. > Chapter 7 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7 A Crow in a New Cloak A year had passed since that night you had with Derpy, and luckily nopony new appeared. You couldn't think about her nonstop, as you had something worth keeping as a treasure. You were inside your's and Derpy's house as you were reading Ponyville's newspaper, as you were reading a knocking came from the front door. You stand up from the couch, put down the paper, and walk over to the front door. You open it to find no one but a small blue letter on the floor. "Doctor? I thought you were gone." You said to yourself in confusion as you look around but found no doctor, nor TARDIS. You pick up the letter and quickly shut the door as you place the letter on the coffee table and sit in front of it. "I thought you said you would never comeback." You pick up the letter as you slowly rip open the top portion and pull out a letter. Crow, Yes I know your nickname, don't ask how. It's a bunch of bibly bangly timey whimy stuff, funny because I used to say that when I was the tenth. I wanted to let you know that I will visit your wedding. Yes I already know you are going to propose to her, the TARDIS found this and told me about your proposal. And don't worry about Derpy, she will remember me without her mind burning. Again a bunch of timey whimy stuff, but don't worry. I'm the Doctor, I'm always lying. Plus the TARDIS is letting you pull off this paradox, so good luck and see ya later. -The Doctor! P.S. Don't let Derpy find this letter. "D-Doctor? My Celestia, you are impossible!" You shout to yourself as Derpy flew down the stairs with a worried look. You quickly hide the letter behind your back as you stuff it inside the couch. "Are you okay sweet muffin? I heard you yelling." Derpy concerned as she embraced you with a hug of concern. "Yea I'm okay, it's nothing. I just had a weird dream." "What happened?" "I was uh...just falling. That's it." You horribly lied as Derpy gave a long look at you. "Okay. Well I gotta go to work, see you soon honey." She said as she quickly grabbed her mailbag and soared off into the sky." "Well that was easy." You shrugged as you walked outside and breathed in the black burning air.....wait black burning? You cough out the black polluted air as you look around to find a group of three fillies covered in black soot and a scooter on fire. You quickly run towards the fillies as you pick them up and pull them away from the fire. "What happened?" You asked the three black painted fillies. "We tried to mechanize my scooter, we wanted to get our mechanic cutie marks but it went wrong when I started the engine." The orange filly said in a cough as you quickly walk close to the burning scooter. The fire was small like a shrub, but not big. You take off your shirt as you quickly pat it down against the blaze on the ground as it burns out quickly. You pant heavily as you faced a pony made fire directly as you reapplied your black pitched shirt. As you pant heavily from the duel, multiple ponies around you started to clap and cheer for your act of bravery. The three fillies ran over to you with looks that could concern the princess. "Ohmigosh, are you all right?" Asked the cream earth pony. "Yea.....yea just shocked how you mechanized this scooter." "Well, we took a train set and used it's parts for a motor." Exclaimed the white unicorn. "Wow, well let's clean up this mess and throw it away, no way your using this scooter anymore." You said as the orange pegasus groaned in annoyance. "Awwwww maaaan, that is totally bull-" "You better not finish that sentence." You interrupt in a cold tone as you stare down at the pegasus with a look of anger and fear. The pegasus stood back as you turn back on your cold stare as you let yourself cork up your anger. You breath out in release as the anger rests in your head as you walk up to the barbecued scooter. It was black as wood and crusty like a a rock, you pick up the burnt scooter and you give it to the orange filly. "Here, I don't know how to fix scooters but-" You pause as you reach into your pouch and pull out a large amount of bits."- this should be enough for a new scooter." The orange filly beams with joy as she gracefully takes the bits from your hand and stuffs them in her pockets. "Maybe keep it as a reminder, find the mistakes you made on this scooter and improve on your next one." You tip as the pegasus takes the burnt scooter off of your hands. "Thanks mister, I will pay you back someday." "No need, just keep it." "Thank you so much mister!" All three fillies thanked as they ran off to the local scooter shop as you walk away from the burnt scene. You continue to walk down the streets of pony as you felt something light at the top of your head. You look up to find Pinkie Pie beaming down on you, the strangest thing is, she is popping out of your mane. "Pinkie.......can you please get out of my mane?" The cotton candy mane hopped out of your mane as she landed in front of you continuing with her beaming smile. "Pinkie... why are you staring at me like that?" "Can I pwease host the reception?" She beams out loud as you quickly slam your hand against the mare's mouth. "Shhhhhhhhh, nopony knows yet! Not even Derpy, it's suppose to be a surprise. Plus we're getting married next year, we don't want to spread the news yet. How did you even know?" "The Doctor!" The pink mare answered cheerfully as you give a flat stare at her. "So when should I spread the news?" "Just tell everypony like... I don't know in two months? Just gather everypony at Sugar Cube Corner and I'll propose to her, just don't tell anypony." The pink mare saluted towards you as she beamed with glee. "Okie Dokie Lokie!" "And Pinkie Promise." The pink mare crossed her heart, fluttered her hands behind her back like wings, and placed her hand on her eyelid, the deal is signed. The pink mare bounces off in the distance as she kicked her heels together in the air in joy. "That Pinkie is just crazy, but knows a good party. Celestia help us... At least she didn't throw me some sort of hero pa-..... I better be carfull what I say out loud." You warn yourself as you continue to walk down the streets of Ponyville as you arrive at the location you need to be, the 'Karat barn'. You walk inside the gleaming store as you find the lone stallion on the counter examining a gem. "Hey Karat Kolt, how goes business?" "Great great, so onto business, watchu here for?" "Well I need a gem." "What kind?" You stuck out a certain finger indicating a message as the store clerk smirked with glee. "Ahhhh... I see, so choose a gem. Be wary, these aren't cheep." You walk over to the glass counters as you examine every gem that Karat had in the store. he had topaz, amethyst, sapphire, emerald, ruby, pearls, jades, crystals, diamonds, all gems of types, forms, and kinds. "Hmm...." You examine the gems as one caught your eye. A flat cut of topaz that was thick like cardboard but sized like a marble. "How much for this topaz?" "Ahhh that's a special topaz, this is flat topaz, can be cut into shapes and forms." "Cool, do you mind if you can cut this into a shape of a muffin?" "So you want a *whistles* with a muffin based gem? Hmm, it's a challenge and it's not cheep." "How much?" "Well, what about the *whistles* gold or silver?" "Silver." you answer shortly. "Then it will be about 400 bits, you got that kind of money?" "Yea, lemme get out a check." You said as you reached into your pocket and pulled out a decorative piece of paper. You sign your name as you place an amount of 400 bits on the small deal as you give it to Karat. The store clerk takes the paper and closely examines it, he nods and places it under the table. "Alright, is there any particular date you want this done by?" He asks with a smirk across his face. "In two months." "Alright, I'll get to work right now." The clerk answered as he took out a flat topaz gem. "I need to get going, see you soon." You said as the clerked waved goodbye. You walk out the store and looked at the sky, it's color was orange like fire as you saw the sun setting over the distance. You gaze at the sun and it's beauty as you start to walk home. As you walk home, a dirty old newspaper impacts your face, you frustratingly take the newspaper off your face, but pause to find something familiar about it. There was a message is blue letters. You closley examine the letters as you read them. "Bingle Bongle Dingle dangle Yikkety doo yikkety daa Ping Pong Lipey Topey too taa." You stare at the strange message as you hear a familiar sound from a nearby alley, you pursue the familiar noise as you found her, it, whatever he calls him, her....shim? As you reach the conclusion of the symphonic noise, you enter a nearby alleyway as you find it, the blue box of mystery and thought, the TARDIS. You run up to the blue box as you rapidly knock on the door. "Doctor! Doctor are you in there?" You patiently wait as a familiar face pops out of the mystery box. "Um... yea, just hold on." He said as he dove back inside his box. Something about The Doctor looked...familiar. He look the same, but different at the same time. "Hold on, just gotta find my hat!" He exclaimed from the inside as you continue to wait patiently. After a few more minutes, The Doctor popped out of his spaceship wearing a white suit with a white bowtie, and a white fedora. "All right, let's get this wedding started!" The doctor exclaimed as he began to walk out of the alley. "D-Doctor! STOP!" You bark as you pull The Doctor away from the near public and inside his telephone box. "First, why are you dressed like that when the wedding is in two months!? Second, why do you look so familiar but yet different!? Did you regenerate again?" You ask in panic as The Doctor gives a quick slap to your face. You shook your head into consciousness as you gave the The Doctor a blank stare. "Thanks I needed that." "Well to answer your questions 'Crow'." He jokes with a smirk as your face turned sour. "First, I'm sorry, the TARDIS probably got the wrong directions." The blue box gave a sound of anger like an earthquake as The Doctor started to rub the blue wood for comfort. "Well sorry, but you are more of the pilot then I am." "Uh.... and my second question?" You ask with a raised eyebrow. "Yes well, the thing is a terrible accident happened when I was the 12th. Apparently some daleks came inside my TARDIS as they opened the time vortex to achieve it's power, a dalek beam shot inside the time vortex because it posed as a threat causing a massive explosion causing my regeneration to form backwards. And that's not the only reason why, along with my travel I met Albert Neighstien and he had this special liquid, he spilled some on the TARDIS motherboard and worst of all, inside the time vortex. So now I back with my cool bow tie. Gotta admit, I liked my 11th form better." The Doctor said with a cocky smirk. "I have no idea what your talking but it's good ta see you again Doctor." You said as you shook his hand in greet. "But one last question." "Ughhh you ponies and questions about aliens, you're almost as worst as humans." The doctor groaned with annoyance as he stared you in the eye. "What about Derpy, what about her memory? How will you restore it?" You asked curiously as The Doctor slowly walked away from you as he gave a heavy sigh of difficulty and stared up at the light blue sky. "That is the difficult part, I need a favor." "What?" "You need to..... uh..... alright how can I say this?" "What is it Doctor!?" You ask impatiently "I need you to rob something I need." You stare at The Doctor like a stump as your eyebrows slowly crank downward inside. "I need you to rob somepony." "W-What do you mean?" You ask in a stern tone. "I mean, I need you to rob Canterlot Castle from it's treasury. There's an important alien artifact buried in the gold and I need you to retrieve it." "No" You said in a flat tone as you started to walk away from the mad stallion. "Then do it for Derpy." "Why for Derpy? What's this gotta do with her?" "Because it will restore her memory." That froze up your mind as you sat down on a dirty box as you held your head like a rubix cube. "I know what you're thinking. "Why can't you do it?" " The Doctor imitated in your voice. "Well to answer your future question, the two princesses....aren't my friends." "And what did you do to piss her off?" You ask in panic. "Honestly I have no idea. I come in Canterlot one day and all of a sudden I'm Equestria's most wanted, I literally have no idea what I did. Maybe my past selves did something, but it's a time mystery from what I recall." The Doctor explains as he enters inside his blue box. "C'mon, I'll give you a shortcut there." You nod as you enter the blue box. "Now Doctor, just so you know I'm only doing this for Derpy. But I swear to Celestia if you ever make me do this again, I will take your screwdriver and shove it down your throat." You threatened in a cold tone as The Doctor had nothing but a straight gleeful expression on his face. "I knew you were right for her." The Doctor announces as he flipped down a random lever causing the entire room to shake like a milkshake. The indoor earthquake subsides as you stood from the guard and slowly open the door. You peaked outside as you found multiple ponies dressed in fancy shmancy clothes, hats, dresses, garmets, and anything fancy. You quickly creak back inside the TARDIS as you stare at The Doctor with a cold stare. "What?" "I need something from you." "Don't say my screwdriver." The Doctor warned as he pointed his probe directly at you. "No....some clothes." The two of you traveled inside The Doctor space machine through infinite rooms as you found The Doctor's wardrobe. You look through the boxes of piles and piles and piles of clothes until you found something promising. You pulled out a white hoodie, and a black scarf. You apply on the hoodie as you tie the scarf around your mouth for a mask as you look at yourself in the mirror. "Not bad, but back to business. Doctor I'm gonna have to ask you one more question." You said with a hidden smirk behind your mask. "What does your screwdriver mostly do?" "It mostly unlocks doors, why?" You continue to stare at The Doctor with a hidden grin behind your mask. "What?" ... ... ... "Oi come back here with my screwdriver!!!" The Doctor screamed at the top of his lungs and hearts as you ran for Celestia knows how far away from the blue box with the screwdriver. You quickly hide in the shadows of a nearby alley as you peak in the corner of the wall with the sight of nopony. You quickly look around your surroundings but heard heavy clinks of metal coming towards the alley. You quickly hide in the shadows and take a quick peak out from the corner of the wall, you found a regular guard marching around the town. You hide in the corner of the alley as the guard marches next to you, you quickly wrap your arms around the guards head and neck as you pulled him into the alley. You struggle as the guard shook violently to break free from your grip, you tightened your grip to suffocate the guard as the guard gives and falls unconsciously. You drag the unconscious corpse to the back of the alley as you start to slowly strip him of his armor and apply it to your own. "Hope they can buy it." You walk outside the alley wiping off any loose dirt on your armor, you pick up the dropped spear as you march around intimidating the guard. You slowly act your way through the city as you reach the castle, you found the front doors of the castle as you march towards the doors. Two guards stand on each side as they salute at you, you salute back as they opened the doors. Okay I'm in. Well well well, it's the stallion who stole my screwdriver. Doctor? Is that you? Yes, now hurry up because I am very mad but also happy that you stole my screwdriver. Well it's not that you weren't the worst person who did something to me, least you weren't Mel. Yea yea whatever, I just need to borrow it to open doors. Who know's what the castle did to upgrade their locks. I'm not even gonna ask how your talking to me, but right now I don't care. Just remember that this is for Derpy. You walk down the longs halls of marble and elbow grease as you slowly act through other guards and maids. You face was straight enough to keep up your small act, you quicken you pace as you found a massive golden door. "Must be the treasure room." You whisper to yourself as you approach the guard. "Hey, your shift's over. I'll take this one." You lied, please work please work please work. "Finally, I thought this would never end. The treasure room's a bitch to guard." The guard groaned in relief as trotted away from the treasure room. You stand in front of the door guarding the room as you look around for any guard that would be nearby. You slowly pull out the screwdriver as you clicked the button as the green light shun over the door. You heard a click from the door as you quickly run inside the treasure room finding stacks of gold inside. Doctor, what does this alien thing look like? It looks like a sword, a golden sword with weird hieroglyphs on it.. Got it! You said as the first thing you saw was a sword shining gold with strange engravings on the blade. You quickly grab the sword and it's shoulder scabbard as you take off your armor and strap the sword around your back. You quickly pace out of the room as you found nearby guard running towards your direction. "THIEF! GET HIM!!!" Guards paralleled as they yelled as you flee away. You ran around the hall like a maze, lots of turns, no escape, and worse no partner to help you. You kept running as you reach the way you came in, the large door was still closed and tens of guards were behind you. You had only one option, you quickly kissed your right shoulder as you put it in front of you and sped up without stopping. You bash through the hard wood as you felt the splinters of pain impale through your hoodie as you kept running. You run through the city, covered in cut wood and bloodied rags as you fled from the guards chasing you. Oi it's me, keep running and I'll pop the TARDIS in front you you! You heard The Doctor's voice of his choice but had no choice but to keep running. You pace yourself through the pain and agony of the splinters as you see something blue up ahead. You quickened your pace as you found the TARDIS regenerate mere yards in front of you. You give all of your adrenaline towards your legs as you ran like a wolf, as you were mere feat away from the box, The Doctor opens the door and yells at the top of his lungs. "COME ON! IT"S OPEN!!!" The Doctor screams as you crashed through the blue wooden doors as The Doctor slams the doors shut. Bashes and clashes can be heard from outside as the guards tried to open the door. The Doctor ran towards the motherboard of the TARDIS as he flipped up a lever causing the TARDIS to degenerate and disappear from the guard's eyes. "W-What happened?" Asked a flabbergasted guard. "Guys it's the captain!" Another guard warned as all of the guards faced towards their purple armored captain as they saluted. "At ease." The Captain said. "What happened?" He asked in a stern tone. "We chased down a thief with the 'mystery sword'. He escaped by entering some sort of blue box that disappeared." One guard explained as the captain's eyes slowly crossed down. "Captain Armor, are you okay?" "No." He said in a flat tone. "I know exactly what happened." "What sir?" "It's The Crow, one of my greatest and most notorious thieves that I tried to catch. I almost had him once, but he had me. I thought he was going to kill me but he sparred me. He left me a message and to this day, I still don't know if I want to arrest him or not." "What was the message sir?" "He wrote 'I don't want to ruin somepony's guide to happiness. I'll let you live and retire from my career, please take care of yourself. What inspired me? Well you have a nice sister, I don't want to ruin that.'" The captain repeated your message as he gave a soft sigh. "I just couldn't believe he stole again even though he retired, I just don't know why, and why the sword?" He questioned himself as he scratched his chin. "Well what about the blue box sir?" questioned another guard. "Now that's another story, it's owned by somepony or something that has live longer than Faust herself. He is called The Doctor, I don't know much about him, but some ponies and other creatures think of him as a hero. Others like us think of him as a menace to society. I do not know why he is Equestria's most wanted, not even the princesses will tell me, but I wonder if Faust knows anything." The crowd of guards was silent, even the slightest drop could be heard from a restaurant. "All right, let's fall back to the castle and inform the princess." The captain commanded as his troops saluted and marched towards the castle. You were inside The Doctor's TARDIS as you sat in a chair holding your head looking down in depression. "I can't believe you made me do that." You said to The Doctor in a miserable tone as The Doctor sits next to you in comfort. "Y'know, sometimes we must do wrong in order to do right. I had to stop one of my own to save billions. Trust me, it hurt me more than it hurt him, because he loved it when he died. Well, that's when I thought he died. But when I lost him forever all because I had to stop him....I felt miserable. But it was the right thing to do, I saved an entire planet, a race, an intelligent region. Don't let this get to you, I have done much...much worse to help others." "Who was this other one you stopped?" You ask through your finger vents as The Doctor gave a heavy sigh. "He was one of me, my race, a time lord. We were the last two, but when I stopped him, he stopped someone else and he disappeared...forever. His name was The Master, I would always forgive him, I just wish he would see what he has done." The Doctor said as a tear shed from his eye, you could have sworn you saw gold in his tears. "Now come on, we have to get back to Ponyville. You got a mare to propose to." The Doctor cheered with a smirk as he ran to his machine and flipped a leaver leading back home. > Chapter 8 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8 The Wedding of Derpy Hooves The town of Ponyville was quiet, there was laughter, cheers, foals on the jump rope, ponies in their shops, and citizens enjoying their day. In the middle of town, there was nopony but they walked around the middle, a small tornado started to cycle in the middle as leaves swirled and a picture appeared. There laid a blue box, ponies everywhere pointed in confusion as a tan brown pony appeared from the box as you appeared after him with the sword strapped on your back. Ponies started to cheer as if it was a magic trick. "Yes yes that's right, all magic and no unicorns involved." The Doctor announced as he pulled out a fez hat from within his jacket. "Money is accepted, bits, dollars, pounds, yen, anything. Yes I'll take anything." He said as he walked around collecting bits as you tap him on the shoulder. "Doctor, about Derpy?" You ask in a stern tone. "Oh yes," He paused as he placed the fez on top of a filly's head who smiled with glee at the souvenir. The Doctor grabbed you as you followed him in a familiar direction. "Now about the sword, we need to do something drastic. We have to stab her with it." That caused your brain to snap inside like a twig at those words. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME DOCTOR!?!?" You yell at the top of your lungs as The Doctor places his hands in front of him in defense. "Now Now just hold on, it won't kill her." The Doctor announces as your face turns only a little back. "The Sword of Mystery is an alien weapon built by one of my enemies, the sontarons. They built these swords for medics during the first years of the santarons. But when they discovered cloning, they had no use for them and sent them else where so they could create more wars. This sword does not kill, but heal, and if I combine my sonic with it, it can restore." The Doctor explains as you pull the sword out of it's scabbard. You gazed at it's golden blade as it shines like Celestia's sun on our face, you could feel scars beginning to disappear as you quickly retract the sword back into it's scabbard. "Let's just get this to Derpy quick." You rushed in a flat tone as you and The Doctor start to walk towards Derpy's house. "You sure her mind won't burn when she see's you?" "Actually, I have a safer plan. The powers of the TARDIS hold's all memories, even Derpy's. Hold onto the sword until the wedding, I will tell you later." "Are you sure Doctor? Do I still have to stab her with it?" "Yes, if Derpy find's the sword, make up a fake family tradition and go with it. I will be waiting until the reception, I love to dance anyways." The Doctor said with a smile as he smiled at you. You nod as you take the sword and walk towards Derpy's house, as for The Doctor, he walks back inside his blue box. Only time will tell the future. Two months had passed as you sat comfortably on Derpy's couch. The sword laid hidden inside the basement of the house, inside a chest as it awaits it's proper user. You read through the books from the hollowed tree as a knocking came from your door, you look through the peep hole as you found Karat standing outside with a package. You open to find him smiling upon you with good news. "Karat, it's good to see you." You greet. "So it's done?" "Yea the *whistles* is done." He averts as he hands you the box. "So, when are you going to uhh.... *whistles*?" "Tonight, Pinkie has Sugar Cube Corner ready with everypony tonight so I can do it. I will ask Derpy as if it was a regular date, but when I 'do the thing' I will have everypony there to support her." "Well, have fun with that life dude." He said as he shook your hand. "I hope you make a great dad." "I'm sure I will." You said as Karat walked away into the sunset. Luckily he's not retired. You take the small box as you place it in your pocket, you head upstairs as you found Derpy's room, you tip open the door to find her gazing upon a picture of you, Derpy, and Dinky. You slowly creak open the door as you tip-toed your way towards the grey pegasus. You slowly crawl your arms over her shoulders as she places your hands on your arms like a scarf. "Hello sweet muffin, how was your day." She said in a soft tone as she nuzzles your arms. "It was great, and I'm going to make it greater." "Oh? How?" "By taking you out on a date tonight." "But what about Dinky? I can't let her be alone tonight." Derpy concerns as she looks at the picture. "We can take her, I want her to be there." So pronounce as you grab Derpy and press your lips against hers. Her wings pop up as she pulls you in for a more blissful kiss. You could taste the kinds of muffins she's loved as you rolled your tongue around hers. Your passionate kiss ends as she gazes into your eyes like Luna's stars and constellations. "C'mon, why don't we pick up Dinky and tell her about this night out? I'm sure she would love it." You said as you give a quick peck on Derpy's cheek as she springs up from the bed. The two of you walk out as you made your way towards the school house. As you walked down the roads of Ponyville, you notice a tall tan earth pony as he was entertaining local children with tricks and gadgets unknown to you. You squint your eyes as you notice it's The Doctor, he gives a wave at you at you wave back behind Derpy's back as you and Derpy continue walking towards the school. Minutes pass as you and Derpy arrive shortly at the school house. As the two of you are mere yards from the school, a cream colored pegasus with a turquoise blue mane and a mail uniform came down flying at vast speed as she crashed near the two you. She pulled her head from the hard earth as she quickly grabs Derpy and stares at her with panic and relief. "DERPY! Thank Celestia it's you. The post office need's your help, there's an 'overload'." The cream pegasus said with a dramatic tone as Derpy gasps up a air bubble of panic. "Oh no! Too much mail!? Let's go!" Derpy and other pegasus soon zoom out into the sky as Derpy pauses mid air and looks at you. "Can you please take Dinky home and watch her? I promise I will be home as soon as I can." Derpy said as she quickly zoomed into the direction of Ponyville. You shrug off the question as you followed as you are told, you walk up the small steps as you knock on the door. A dark magenta earth pony appeared as she gave a smirk at you. "Oh hey it's you. Are you ready for the-" "Don't mention it, not in front of Dinky, it's suppose to be a surprise." You wink as the teacher giggles. "But anyways I'm here to pick up Dinky." "Oh yes, Dinky!" The teacher calls as the small grey unicorns gallops towards you and gives you a hug. You return the hug as you rub your fist against the filly's hair as she giggles for mercy. "Hey kiddo, ready to go home?" The filly nods as you pick her up and place her legs around your neck. "Alright, let's go home, you hungry?" "Yep, can I have Mc. Trotnolds please?" "Yea sure." You answer as the grey unicorn claps in joy as you carry her all the way to the fast food restaurant. The two of you shortly arrive at the fast food restaurant as you ordered your food, You have a small Mc. daisy sandwich mini meal as Dinky orders another kid's meal. You take both meals in paper bags as you bring them outside and walk towards the fountain. "Let's eat outside, get some fresh air ya'know?" "YES! I always wanted to eat Mc. Trotnolds outside." The unicorn said in a gleeful tone as the two of you sit on the fountain facing away from the water. The two of you sat, chat, and ate meals, as you finished your lunch you crumple the rest of your garbage inside the takeout bag. You struggle to crumple up the cardboard inside the bag as you made a medium sized ball. You throw it like a basket ball to the nearest local garbage can as it swishes right into the pile of garbage. "Cooooool." You heard another filly admire as you look to find Dinky's friends standing nearby you. You could see the orange filly pegasus form an O shape on her mouth as she was fascinated by your swish. "That was AWESOME, how'd you do that?" She asks as she zooms up towards your face with admiration. "Ehhhhhhhh... I don't know, luck I guess." You shrug as the filly's face frowned with disappointment. "Well that's boring." The orange pegasus groans in annoyance as she crossed her arms. The three fillies looked at Dinky who had a timid look as if she was facing the princess herself. "Hey Dinky, you ready for tonight?" The cream earth pony asked. "Tonight? What do you mean?" The grey unicorn asked with a raised eyebrow. "I mean at Sugar Cube Corner," That caused your brain to pause in emergency as you remember Pinkie inviting EVERYPONY except Dinky and Derpy. "Pinkie invited everypony to cooo-" The earth pony stops as you start crossing your neck indicating 'stop!' causing the filly to look around for a distraction. "toooo not come to Sugar Cube Corner because of a special event being taken there." The filly averted as Dinky had nothing but a blank expression on her face. "Welll we should probably head home Dinky, Derpy could be back in any minute." You avert as Dinky nods and stands next to you. "Okay let's go home, I need to work on the homework." "Okay see you later Dinky." The white unicorn filly said as the three fillies started to run off into the distance. "So, how was school today Dinky?" You ask curiously. "Well, I heard rumors of Silver Spoon having a crush on Snails." "Really? Okay I find that funny and strange, but love is unbreakable so...... I got nothing." You joke as Dinky continues on with her day. "So what else did you do?" "Well, Mr. Kyle named me his number one student." "That's amazing Dinky, HIGH FIVE!" You announce as you held up your palm as the grey unicorn filly slams your hand with massive force as you could feel your hand burn with adrenaline. The two of you shortly arrive at Derpy's house as you pull out a house key from your pocket and open the door. "Now when your napping, I'm gonna wake you up at 7 pm, we are going to Sugar Cube Corner for dinner tonight." The filly pauses as she looks at you with confusion. "Sugar Cube Corner? Applebloom said that it was closed for a special event." The filly repeats as you look around for an excuse. "Weeellllll she probably heard from rumors, c'mon get some sleep. We are going out tonight and you and your mom will love tonight, trust me." The filly nods as she slowly walks upstairs with legs like bags as she closes her door and all you could hear, was a soft snoring coming from her room. You calmly slump yourself on the couch as you pick up the newspaper, you quickly look at the clock which read 4 o'clock pm. "Only two of hours of the news, better get cracking." You claim to yourself as you start reading the latest news. You place the news paper down on the coffee table after a few hours of new news. You glance at the clock reading that it is 5 pm. You still had time to plan the 'special night'. You needed to go to Sugar Cube Corner to check on the 'special night' in case anything goes wrong, you open the door realizing you forgot something. Dinky was still home, and she would be alone. You pinched your forehead as your mind was plagued with different ideas and solutions but was blocked with complications of different roads. "Hey mister." A young sweet voice spoke. Your mind continued with different solutions but complcations, What to do... what to do....? "Hey mister?" A southern voice spoke up. ARRRGGHH I can't leave Dinky, but I really need to check up on the restaurant!!! "Hey troll bait!" You heard a rude tone as you look to find Dinky's friend's with a confused look on their faces. "You okay? You seem like your in a pickle." The orange pegasus stated as you give a sigh of relief. "Oh great Dinky's friends. Can you help me with something?" You ask desperately as you knelt down on the ground. "With what?" Asked the little cow filly. "Can you take Dinky out to hang out with you girls for a little bit, please?" You ask desperately as liquid bullets started to river down your head. "What's in it for us?" Asked the orange pegasus. "Uh.....free ice cream?" You shrugged as the three fillies beamed with joy as they ran inside your house. They shortly arrived with Dinky as she stops and faces you. "Um, I'm going to go play with my friends, is that okay?" The grey unicorn asks in a nervous tone. "Yea sure, go on ahead, just be back by 7." You state as the filly nods and runs into the distance with her friends. You blow out a heavy sigh of relief as a heavy weight was lifted from your shoulder. You get to your feet as you start walking towards Sugar Cube Corner. After a short walking distance, you arrive at the sugar covered diner as you enter to find multiple ponies setting up party supplies. You found Pinkie Pie behind the counter as she was talking to a few of her friends, especially the purple unicorn. "Pinkie." The party mare turns around as she gives you an excited smile. "Hey it's you again! It's almost ready, we just need the cake." "Okay, I'm going to get Derpy and Dinky, just make this look like a regular date. After I *whistles*, you pop out and start the party." You instruct as the six mares in front of you salute with dependability. You nod at them as you walk out of the party house towards home, as you walked home you noticed a creamy peachy furred mare with a blond curly mane sitting on a nearby bench reading a blue book that was shaped in a familiar form. The book mare takes her eye off her book as she gives a quick wink towards you as she stands up and walks away and gives you one last wink. "Who the moon was that? And why did she look so familiar?" You ask yourself as you shrug and head off home. Upon reaching home, you enter the living to find Dinky sitting on the couch reading Daring Do. "Dinky have you seen your mom?" "No, but I think that's her in the distance." The filly said as she points out the window. You look out the window as you could see a crashing pegasus heading towards the house, you quickly run outside as you stand in the area of the crash prediction with your eyes closed awaiting the pain. You await hell as a cloud of puff, smoke, and dusk shroud over your directions as you were blinded by dust. You slowly creak open your eyes as you found Derpy simply flying in front of you with a bright smile on her face. "Sorry I'm late, it was a lot of mail." The malemare informed as you pulled her in. "So we going to Sugar Cube Corner tonight?" Derpy asked excitingly. "Yea, just get dressed because I'm going to make this night memorable." You proclaim as Derpy goes upstairs. You patiently await downstairs as you felt the hardness of a rock hurl into the side of your face. You fall the to floor in pain as Dinky runs to your side holding your head in aid. "Owwwwwwwwwwww." You wince in pain as your eyes closed to try and endure the pain. "Are you okay?" Dinky asked as you rubbed your head. "Yea... I think so. What hit me?" You ask through pain. "This blue box." Dinky states as your eyes widen and you quickly spring up. You turn to find a small pocket version of The Doctor's TARDIS, it was light and had a slight opening like a pod. You open the TARDIS pod as you find a single velvet black clip on bow tie. You also find a small card inside the mini TARDIS signed from 'The Doctor'. Bow ties are cool :D You became confused as to why The Doctor sent you a bow tie. You shrug as you clip on the bow tie as you look at yourself in the mirror. "Cool." You say to yourself as you heard footsteps coming from downstairs. Her dress was simple long and stylish with a base of light brown and a bottom stripe of light gray. "How do I look?" She asks with a slight blush. "Like the ultimate muffin." You joke as Derpy nudges you in laughter. "Alight enough joke, let's go." "Right." You both arrive at the exterior of the sweet house, you look around to find Pinkie waving at you on the roof top. You give a small nod as the pink mare gives a thumbs up and sinks back into the restaurant. You enter as the disguise played perfectly, actors as eating food, Pinkie was chatting with costumers and the owners were in the back. You pull out a chair for both Derpy and Dinky as they kindly accepted your gesture as you sit down yourself. "Thank you." Derpy said as Pinkie Pie walked up towards your table. "Hey guys, welcome to SCC, any drinks?" The pink mare asks as you and the two other mares pick up their menus. "I'll have your 'finest wine for two please'." You said in a wink as the waitress pony winks at you. "And a child's cider for Dinky please." You ordered as the waitress mare wrote down your orders and walked towards the back. "So Derpy, how was the so call 'overload'? You ask to bring up the mood. "Oh where should I start? There were so many letters, I thought it was as endless as space." Derpy said as the whole table laughs at the minor torture. "What about you Dinky? What happened with you?" "Well, I am Mr. Kyle's number one student." The grey filly unicorn said in a proud tone as her mother gave you a bear hug as the unicorn could feel her eyes acting like soda bottles. "EEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so proud of you my little muffin, I can't believe your number 1!!!" The pegasus mother said in a gleeful tone as her child pulled her away. "Thanks mom but you're kind of crushing me." The filly pleaded as her mother quickly let go and scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. "Sorry." The mailmare gives a quick look at you. "So, how are you going to make this night so special? One that we wouldn't forget?" The grey pegasus asks in a curious tone. You give a small chuckle as you stood from your seat, the mother and child give a confused look as you walk next to Derpy. "Well, I know it's the right 'time'." You exclaim the last word as everypony started to stand up and walk towards your table, more ponies appeared from no where as you were surrounded with almost everypony in Ponyville. Derpy could feel something beat in her chest, it felt like a muffin that was freshly baked, poked with a tooth pick for stability, and eaten with dignity. Her legs felt like jelly as you knelt down on one knee and pulled out a small black box from your pocket. "Derpy Thunder Hooves, will you make me the happiest stallion in the world by marrying me?" Inside, Derpy could feel her heart explode with a flavor of love and joy as tears of joy started to river down her cheeks. Her jaw dropped open as nothing escaped from her mouth as there was no wheres to explain how happy she was. She slowly moves her arm with quivers as you holds your hand and the box and says in soft and lovely tone. "Yes...a thousand times...yes." She leaned in as she pressed her lips against yours, you could feel that this one felt...different. It was a lot more passionate as you could taste something new, a flavor that no chef, scientist, nor princess would ever explain, but the one name that you would give it...was love. Dinky had the biggest smile on her face as everypony cheered for the newly committed couple as you slowly and softly break the kiss. You both stood up as you pulled in Derpy close and embraced her with love and compassion as fake snows of white and gold began to rain down in the room as music only the two of you could here. It was a song that only you two could hear, a song that was different for every couple, the song of love. There was no sounds, no tunes, no taps, just the music in your head. "I love you Derpy." You confess as the grey pegasus looks you deeply in the eyes as she could see a sparkle in your eyes. "And I love you too." She confesses back as the two of you shared one final kiss for the night as the party commenced and the love bud bloomed releasing pollen shaped of hearts. > Chapter 9 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Epilogue Today was the day, you were going to marry Derpy Whooves, the mare you loved, and the mare you helped. You were waiting under the gazebo in a jet black tuxedo with a fresh new bow tie courtesy of The Doctor. You were standing outside as a yellow pegasus mare with a long pink mane took her baton as she conducted the group of small birds in front of her. As the birds chirped a wedding melody, you looked at the other end of the red carpet as you see Derpy Hooves, your future wife, walking down the carpet with a beautiful hand made dress. In front of her was your daughter in law, Dinky hooves. owner of image Owner of picture You look as you find that Princess Celestia herself came to congratulate you and Derpy in your wedding. As Dinky finished her rainbow trail of petals, she sat down as Derpy walked up next to you. You gaze deeply into her topaz eyes as they were misplaced like a pig in a cow farm, but you didn't care, she was fine the way she was. The two of you both look at Celestia as everyone sat down in their chairs. The princess cleared her throat as everyone eyed on the soon to be married couple. "Fillies and Gentercolts, we are gathered here today to announce the wedding of Shadow Kage Veil and Derpy Thunder Hooves. Please may we have the rings?" Asked the princess as a small purple dragon walked up with two wedding rings, the one you made for Derpy and a silver ring for you. The sun goddess levitated both rings as your fingers slipped through them. "Congratulations, I now pronounce you mare and colt, you may now kiss the bride." You look at your new wife as you give a smirk and kiss her. You two are now completed. Everypony cheered and roared with excitement at the new couple, Dinky was giving in a few tears as do her friends. ---Hours later at the reception party--- You sat down with your wife as everypony sat down facing you and Derpy. You take your glass of wine as you raise up as you call everyone's attention. "Attention everyone," You announce as everyone stays quite. "I am so happy right now I kid you not. In fact there is one last thing I want to do before we get this party started." You said with a smirk as everyone remained silent. The silence remained for minutes as you said nothing, except for Derpy who stood up confused? "H-Honey, what's wrong? Why isn't anypony moving?" The wife asked as she waved her hand in front of a nearby pony's face as it made no change of expression or tone. It stayed frozen like ice. "I'm scared." Your wife panicked as you reached in under the table and pull out the sword. You pull it out of it's scabbard as the golden glow caught your wife's eyes, but in a way of fear. "W-What are you doing with that sword?" "Doctor!" You exclaim in the silent room as it rumbled like an earthquake as papers and napkins flew around in a mini cyclone as a blue box started to appear. "W-What is that?" Question Derpy as she walked towards the blue box, she gently placed her hand on it as a small electronic pulse zapped her fingers. "OUCH!" She exclaimed in pain as her eyes widened in a strange way. In her mind images flew by like a bolt as she could see herself in many many strange places with a tan earth pony stallion. She fell as you place the sword on the ground and ran to her aid, you pick her up as she started to pant heavily. "W-What's happening!?" "You are lost, you are missing something Derpy." You said as you pick up the sword and point it at her. "I have to do this." You said in a flat tone as you readied position. "WAIT! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME!? I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!!!" The grey mare exclaimed as she knelt down in tears. You slowly walk to her as you pick her up by the chin looking into her tear flooded eyes. You simply smile you you tightly gripped the sword. "No, I'm not going to kill you...I'm going to help you!" You exclaim in surprise as you take the sword and stab the blade all the way through your wife's stomach. You pushed the bladed through as the golden blade shimmered as the tip of the sword touched the blue painted wood of the blue box. In the process Derpy slowly placed her hands on the sword blade as she looked at you in tears. "D...D..Do...Doc..." She pants heavily in a weak tone as a small knock came from inside the box. "Oh save it for the pahty Derpy!" You heard at a familiar voice, it sounds....north. The blue box started to flash as the box and the sword both started to dematerialize into thin air as you both found yourselves sitting at your own reception party. Everypony was still chattering at their tables, you two stare at each other in confusion as if nothing happened, oh wait, nothing did happen. Derpy leans in closer to you as she whispers in your ear. "What happened? And did you just stab me!?" She whispers in a stern tone as a quick zap zapped through her head. She held her head in pain as others started to stare at her in confusion. "Ow, oh uh... sorry everypony, just a small headache." She assumed as everypony went back to their chit chat, but the pain continued inside Derpy's mind as she rested her head on the table. "You okay honey?" You ask in comfort as you patted her head. "Y-Yea, just thinking about-" "Butterscotch pudding?" A waiter in front of both of you asked as a stronger pain began to wave inside her head. You simple reject the delectable treat as the waiter nods and walks away. "Urg.....butter...why does...-" She mumbled in pain. "And so he was wearing a bowtie." A nearby mare said as Derpy's ears perked up. "Really? They're sorta cool." Another said as another quick shock of pain pulsed through Derpy's head. "Ugh." Derpy groaned in pain a third time as you brushed her hair in comfort. A hand was placed on Derpy's shoulder as a yellow cream mare with a turquoise blue mane known as Raindrops smiled down on her. "Time for my speech." She announced as she picked up her wine glass and tapped it with a spoon creating an discomforting noise which caught everypony's attention. "Alright everypony, now Derpy here. Heh, she is the greatest friend that a fellow mailmare could ever have. I remember-" Raindrops continued as Derpy looked around the room. She could see a fellow stallion wearing a bow tie, she saw bread being served with butter, and she could see a deep ocean blue dress, all seem familiar to her. Why, Why are these things familiar to me? I...I... GERONIMOOOOooooooo!!! A familiar voice screamed in excitement in Derpy's head as it echoed. A last image struck her head showing a brown earth stallion wearing a brown suit with a red bow tie. On his head lied a red cylinder hat. Owner of image Wait, you're.... Derpy connected the dots in her head as Raindrops continued to talk. Derpy sprung up from her seat as she slammed both her hands on the table. "Shut up Raindrops." Derpy exclaimed as everyone gasped in horror. "W-Wait, why Der-" Raindrops was interrupted as the room started to rumble in mystery. Everypony looked around in confusion as you and Derpy started to smirk. "I can't believe I forgot about him. The one with the blue box. With a bow tie, a cool bow tie. Likes butter, and is the most mysterious stallion in the universe." Derpy exclaimed with a grin as wind started to pick inside the room like a cyclone. As the room cycled, a tall blue box start to slowly appear in the middle of the room, ponies started to startle and mumble in confusion as to why there was a blue box in the middle of the room. Derpy ran towards the blue box as you slowly followed her from behind, as she ran to the box, she gave a quick knock on the box as everypony was still puzzled. "Alright Doctor, I now you're in there." A moment of silence went down in the room as the box open and appeared a brown stallion in a white suit and top hat. "Um... yea, just lemme grab something." The Doctor said as he retreated back inside his box and appeared out again. "Alright, let's get this wedding started." The room continued to stay silent in confusion as The Doctor walked around the room. "Hello everybody!" The Doctor exclaimed as Derpy came close to his ear. "Everypony." Derpy whispered as The Doctor scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Oh, right, forgot. *ahem* Hello everypony, I am Derpy's special friend, just call me The Doctor. Now, lets get this party started." The Doctor pronounced as the nearby DJ placed down a record on the turntable, the lights shut off and were replaced with straight colorful beams that inspired the entire room to stand and party like wild animals in the forest. ---The Next Morning--- You awake to find yourself sprawled all over your bed with a puddle of drool against on your face, you felt something soft, but heavy weighting on top of you. You slowly open your eyes as you found Derpy peacefully sleeping on top of your chest, but something was strange about her. She was....naked. You quickly shocked yourself awake as you quickly grab the blanket and cover it over Derpy. You run towards the shower as you rain yourself with hot drops of water. As you dry yourself off, you still find Derpy sleeping on the bed, you chuckle at her slumber as you proceed downstairs. There you find but about a few empty alcoholic bottles. "Oh dang... what happened last night?" You asked as you scratched the back of your head. You walk around the room as you cleaned up the mess that had somehow appeared inside the living room. As you finished cleaning up, you heard a knocking coming from the front door, you answer it find a snow white stallion with a black and white stripped mane and tail. "Uh, yes can I help you?" "Yes, my name is Action Shot and I came here to deliver your wedding video from last night." "My video? Um... what happened last night exactly?" You ask with bullets of sweat raining down your neck. "Just the wedding and the party part, that's pretty much it. I think I remember a cake fight, but I paid no attention to it. But anyways, just came to deliver your video. See ya." The camera stallion said as he walked away with the video in your hands. As you held it, you started to see three dvds swirling in circles. You quickly shake your head as you now found one in your hand. "Uhg, I gotta sleep off this hangover." You groan to yourself as you placed the dvd on the coffee table and return back upstairs. You found Derpy still sleeping naked under the sheets, but you didn't care, she was beautiful, even without clothes. You remove the sheets but swiftly shut your eyes as you positioned yourself under the sheets facing away from Derpy's front side. You slowly daze into a sleep as you felt something soft and warm wrap around the body. "Good morning honey." Derpy coos in a whisper as you softly grip her hand and bring her in closer. "I love you so much." "And I love you too Derpy. I'm sorry but I just want to sleep off this hangover." You said as you place a hand on your head and place pressure on your scalp. "I know, me too, I can't believe you drank that much cider. Even survive at least 2 shots of Applejack's special brew." Derpy reminds you, but you couldn't remember what happened last night. It was all foggy and distant, but what's the past, is in the past. "Also, I left Dinky with Applejack to sleep for the night, we can pick her up after we recover." She informs as you both give a sigh of relief. "Well, that's good. At least she doesn't have to see her own mother naked." You said in a chuckle as Derpy comes to you closer. As you slowly embraces you from the back. "Good point, now let's get some sleep." You simply nod as your vision starts to haze as Derpy started to giggle a little. "Just wait till Dinky hears the good news. She'll love being a big sister." Your wife giggles as your eyes widen as big as the moon. Uh oh... > Epilogue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Epilogue You sat down on a bench on your porch as a small tan brown pegasus colt with a black mane was sleeping on your lap. The front door opened as Derpy walked out with a batch of muffins and lemonade. "Hi honey." You greet with a warm smile as she gives a small giggle at the sleeping colt and set's down the treats on the coffee table, she sits down next to you as she rests her head on your shoulder, you didn't mind one bit. "I can't believe we are like this." Derpy said in a soft tone. "I know, two kids, a better house, and best of all, this was all thanks to The Doctor." You remembered as you could hear a distinct 'whirring' sound coming from the back yard. You give a sharp grin as you take your hand and slowly shake the colt as his eyes fluttered open to reveal his misshaped green eyes. "Yes dad?" "He's here Woozy, The Doctor's here to play." You announce as the young colt leaps up from your lap. The front door busts open to reveal Ditzy wearing a bow tie. "C'mon Woozy, The Doctor's here!" Ditzy announced as he ran back inside with Woozy following her from behind. You give a satisfying sigh as Derpy cuddles up to you closer. "Y'know, all of this wouldn't of never happened if I delivered the wrong mail." Said Derpy as she gives a soft giggle. "And If I haven't come to apologize, I wouldn't be with the best mare in the world." You say as Derpy leans in her head as she presses her lips against your. She locks her lips with a bliss like chocolate as your kiss lasts for seconds. The two of you break your blissful kiss as she lies her head on your lap. "I love you." Derpy said in a soft tone as she dozed off into a comfortable sleep. "I love you too."
