Where Did The Time Go?

by Red The Mel


Halloween Special | Part Two

We approach a cottage that very much spiked my interest, mainly, because of all the Irish memorabilia. The flag waved proudly with the little to no wind as it hanged in front of the old wood door. As we go up to grab a few pieces of candied apple slices, a toy dinosaur flies out of a window, and ( what I'm guessing ) was suppose to be a manly roar turned into a skittish scream as a bright green colt pushes through me and Doc to the slightly large dino. He quickly picks it up and blows off all the dirt, putting it on his back. He turns around and stares at me, his white and orange striped mane long yet short perfectly swooped to the right of his face. The dark ocean blue eyes fill with wonder,

"Are you Red?"

"Uuhhhh....I think my coat is red-" he shakes his head and laughs,

"No no no, RedVelvet." I giggle and smile,

"Yeah." He smiles wildly,

"I don't know if you remember me or not, I'm Shamrock Clover. We had school together and I asked you out.." I freeze, it's like time just stopped. My eyes look over at Doc who looks unknowingly about this and then back to Shamrock who's slightly blushing. I continue this pattern a few times and my eyes finally land on Shamrock. Doc clears his throat,

"Long time Shamrock." The two look at each other as if in a war,

"Long time, David." I look over quickly at Doc-or I should say David.

"David? That's an odd name.." David blushes,

"The full version is David Tennant, but I'm just known as The Doctor." I nod slowly trying to process this new information, while I'm processing I hear somepony scream Shamrock's name. He seems to freeze up a bit as a bright, kinda like a mustard color honestly, yellow pony with bright red hair zooms over to him and starts to argue with him about...kids? He seems to be a bit off at the whole situation, a little filly almost or not even as big as one of my wings slowly stands beside me. White coat and orange and bright green hair, she's quite cute. She starts to whisper,

"Daddy and mommy argue a lot." Daddy and mommy? How many does he...nevermind..

"What is it usually about..?"

"Mommy's ideas of trying to overthrow Princess Twilight and those people with Starlight, Trixie, and some other ponies I can't remember the names of." My eyes widen and I try to hold back a laugh, "Yeah, I don't think she'd be able to either." We both smile at each other and suddenly Shamrock snaps,

"Sunset!" My wing slowly pulls the little one to my side, and then the two finally notice there's other ponies still around. The little filly sticks out her head,

"Daddy~ remember what grandpa said.." he smiles and sighs,

"Yes, Poinsettia, I remember." She lightly smiles and runs up beside him, where he pulls her under him and she rubs her head on him. I start to feel all warm inside as Doc nudges me to go, I nod slightly,

"Well, it was nice seeing you Shamrock and nice meeting you Poinsettia." I wave my hood and make a quick exit, mainly because Sunset was starring me down, when we get far enough I sigh and breathe normally again. I look over at Doc and huff, "How come I never knew what your real name is?" He smiles nervously,

"Well, because it's weird. You said it yourself."

"I said it because it's not a common name you hear all the time, that's all, I meant nothing hurtful by it." I lightly nuzzle him as we keep walking, "Plus, the name's quite unique." I hear him sigh a bit,

"Wanna go back to my cottage?" I smirk.

"Sure~"

As we trot, side by side, the moon reaches it mid point and the little ones start to go home, rich with candy. The fronts of cottages slowly dim back out to only allow the moon to light up the area. Soon we arrived to the mad genius's home, dark blue with dark off green as its trim. We stand in front of it and look at each other, his jet blue eyes looking directly into mine, and time, once again, seemed to be in slow motion. Like somepony wanted to watch every muscle movement with absolute precision.
He leans in, his eyes slowly closing which caused me to close mine. Our lips brush against each other for a bit and then, suddenly, fireworks go off. I slowly stop and look up at the sky in aw.
