"Alright then ,Allons'y" \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Hay-n-stop 11:05 pm \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ "Your order madame"said the waiter "Thanks"Lyra said with a slightly tired voice. As Lyra took a bite of the daisy sandwich The Doctor looked slightly confused. "aren't you gonna eat?" "Well yes, but I was wondering isn't that an uncomfortable way for an equine to sit?"The Doctor asked looking at Lyra "Well You'll get used to it and its a lot more exciting then the 'normal way' of sitting."Lyra said "Since when was normal any good." The Doctor laughed after finishing the sandwiches "So Lyra do you know where someone can stay for the night."The Doctor asked "You could stay with me."Lyra said blushing alittle"I mean you don't look like you have a bit on you and i can't just leave somepony alone outside at night, could I?" "Well that would be lovely Miss Heartstrings"The Doctor said Ignoring Lyra's Blush. "Please, Just call me Lyra." \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Bon-Bon's house 11:30 pm \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ "Oh, Where is she, Its getting late"Bon-Bon said while she paced back and forth. *Knock**Knock* "Lyra, do you know what time it i-"she stopped when she noticed her mint green friend standing next to a handsome brown stallion. "Umm... whose this."Bon-Bon asked Lyra. "I'm the Doctor, nice to meet ya, may i come in?"The Doctor asked with his signature smile. "Umm... sure"Bon-Bon said nervously "Brilliant, so tell me do you have a library or study in here?" "Uhh... down the hall and to the left."Bon-Bon said still confused "Lyra, who is he? "Bon-Bon asked concernd. "Umm...Umm"Lyra knew Bon-Bon would never let anypony live with them without knowing their name, let alone a stallion. "His name is Whooves,Doctor Clockwork Whooves"Lyra's voice trembling slightly "When did you meet him"bon-bon asked "a few minutes ago ... in the everfree forest."Lyra said sounding a bit like Fluttershy "WHAT!!! You went to the everfree forest."Bon-Bon scolded Lyra"Thank Celestia your alright but he can't stay here" "Why not?"Lyra asked pleadingly "Because we don't know who he is for all we know he could be a criminal running from the National guard."Bon-Bon retorted A small explosion in the study where the chemistry set was. "Umm... Wheres your fire extinguisher"Asked the doctor. "In the kitchen." Lyra replied " He seems nice enough"Lyra argued. "But we don't have any place for him to stay"Bon-Bon argued. "He could stay at my room , i do have a sleeping bag lying around here some where." "Fine but he's you're responsibility,Okay?"Bon-Bon finally caved in. "Thanks, Bon"Lyra said with an excited tone."Hey Doctor you can stay." "Oh, wonderful, I was getting bored, I already finished all the books , A lot about Human anatomy."The Doctor said happily.

"Don't worry Bon, Everything gonna be fine."Lyra reassured \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Lyra's room 12:00 pm \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Lyra's couldn't fall asleep with so much questions, Looks like the same with the doctor "So Doctor, what are you, you're not regular pony and you're not a human" Lyra asked jsu to break the silence "I'm a time lord,last of the time lords, we were the keepers of the law of time" The Doctor said, he didn't know why he was being so open with a complete stranger. "Lyra Thoughtful for a moment."What happened to the other time lords." "..."The Doctor quietly said something but it was inaudible. "I'm sorry, i didn't mean to pr-" "A war." "Pardon?"Lyra asked "Time war, The last great time war." Lyra getting up said"Who won?" "We lost, They lost, we all lost, me , I'm just a survivor." "Who were they?" Lyra asked "Daleks , A Race that was created Without emotion , natural born killers, the perfect cleansing, to exterminate anything not pure Dalek." "And one last question, Why are you so lonely?" Lyra asked Innocently "I'm happy , I have a lot of friends where i come from." The Doctor said a little louder then it should have. "The first thing i saw back there were deep lonely blue eyes."Lyra said with a concernd tone "I'm tired, we should get some sleep ,eh?"The Doctor said with a yawn "...Good Night Doctor." "Sweet dreams Lyra." Still the doctor couldn't sleep, he was tired, very tired, tired of running Meanwhile "Thank you, Twilight" A tall white alicorn spoke to the small purple unicorn, while taking a sip from her tea cup. "Oh think nothing of it, princess, its not everyday you get a visit from royalty." Twilight said nervously because of the princess surprised visit. "But you should really be going to bed now, Twilight, We've got a big day tommorow." Celestia said Outside there was a stastue of a stone Pegasus looking into the mirror Celestia moved a few seconds ago. "Tomorrow will be a very big day."
