\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Bon-Bon's house
8:00 AM
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Bon-Bon woke up to the smell of pancakes and toast, she went down the stairs and into the kitchen to find a feast of wheat, oats , pancakes, toast, and fresh milk.
"Who made all this, can't be just one pony there's just not enough time to-"Bon-Bon stopped mid-sentence when she noticed a not on the table.
Dear Lyra & Bon-Bon
I'll be going to the library, will be back noon-ish.
-The Doctor
P.S: If you see a stone statue, Don't look away and Don't blink.
Just then Lyra woke up and saw the table, mouth watering.
"Bon did you make all this you're self."Lyra said not taking her eyes off the table.
"No, Thank your Doctor."
"Where is he?" Lyra asked.
"He said he was going to the Books and Branches library"
Meanwhile
The Doctor was walking to the library humming a familiar tone.(Doctor who 2010 theme)
"OHHH, A new pony , Who are you?, Do you like parties cause , I always throw a big party for somepony new in town, like that
one time I threw Twilight a big party in the library and everypony was invited, and we had cake and punch and Twilight drank the hot sauce, and we all had that Nightmare moon thing after that..."Her voice Trailed off. "Oh and I'm Pinkie Pie by the way."The Pink pony said way to fast to be understandable.
"I'm the Doctor and you said something about the library?" The Doctor asked.
"Oh, Its down the street and to the left, its the giant tree, you can't miss it, oh and you should go to sugurcube corner cause they'll be a party and everypony will be invited."Pinkie said.
"...I'm not one for parties." The Doctor said sadly.
"Oh come on Mr.Frownypants, follow me to the library."Before he knew it they were there like they teleported.
"How did- When did- What did- Wha?" The Doctor said confused.
"Here you are Mr. Doctor, say hi to Twilight for me." Pinkie Bounced away happily planning for the party.
"...What just happened?"Shaking it off and proceeding in the odd looking tree, Three statues were following him.
Inside there was a majestic white alicorn and 2 golden armored guards, a voice came from upstairs.
"Princess good mourning, oh , hello and who are you?" Twilight asked.
"I'm the doctor."
Celestia's eyes shot up and looked at the Doctor.
"Umm... yes, is there something on my face."The Doctor asked checking his face with his hoof.
"Turn around doctor." Celestia said slowly.
"What, I don't- oh, hello" The Doctor face-to-face with a weeping Pegasus
"So you did follow me, Good boy, and you think you're oh so clever running away to another universe but you're wrong , I know
you're scared and you should be cause they are coming and they are coming for you , you can't hide, you can't fight, and trust me
when I say this ,Run." As the Doctor blinked , it was gone.
"What was that, Princess?"Twilight asked.
"Twilight, that was a weeping Pegasus, The Doctor could explain more"She pointed a hoof at the Doctor
"Weeping Pegasi-angels where I come from- are beings from the abstract plane, They followed me here running from something. They are the only psychopath that would kill you nicely."The Doctor explained.
"But they're just statues, right?"Twilight pointed out
"Only if you look at them, they literally don't exist" The Doctor explained
"What are they running from?"Twilight asked.
"The Catalyst, they're like time agents without the strings attach, but to me they're just the law."The Doctor said.
"They're trying to kidnap me to use me as a bargaining chip against the Catalyst, But if they wanted to get to me then ... I need to go back!"
"Wait, Who are you?"Twilight asked.
"Don't have time, need to get back to Lyra." The Doctor yelled as he ran pass the door.
"Who is he?Princess."Twilight asked as she turned her head to the princess.
"He is a story, Woven from all of history , He was the stallion with the blue box, The colt that kept running from his demons and fought the demon of others. He is The Doctor."Celestia looking a serious.
"But I never heard of him before."Twilight said
"Only of you look hard enough my faithful student."

Bon-Bon's House
8:30 A.M
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
The Doctor Burst through the door and saw the 2 mares, Lyra being held captive by a weeping pegasus, and Bon-Bon staring at it.
"Doctor, what is it?"Bon-Bon trembling.
"Don't blink."The Doctor said to Bon-Bon.
"Hurt her and you will pay." The Doctor said to the Weeping Pegasus." And you won't have anywhere to run and nowhere to hide because trust me when i say this."The Doctor turned his head to Lyra who was still crying and shivering."I will find you , anywhere you are."
"Bon-Bon, Blink." The Doctor ordered
"Doctor , Don't go, Please"Lyra said as tears began to flow down her eyes.
The Doctor's hearts nearly broke to see the happy-go-lucky unicorn crying like a newborn foal.
"Doctor."Bon-Bon said with anger in her voice.
"Alright, Weeping Pegasus, You have made me crossed , Very crossed , and when i find you , pray , pray for dear life cause there won't be any mercy coming from me."The Doctor said with a very angry but calm voice
"Bon-Bon blink, NOW!"
They both blinked and then they were gone.
"Doctor how could you"Bon-Bon hissed
"Doctor, where are you going"Bon-Bon asked
"Going to find Lyra, They couldn't have taken her far."The Doctor said walking out the door.
"Wait , I'm coming with you."Bon-Bon said.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Books and Branches library
8:40 A.M
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"Princess, you're telling me he's a time traveler!?!"Twilight asked in disbelief.
"He is, he saved my life once, when i was a little filly, the mad stallion with the blue box." Celestia said a little nostalgic.
"I know you're in here."The Doctor yelled "And I want my friend back."
"HELP, DOCTOR!"In Lyra's voice
"It came from downstairs."Said one of the guards.
The two guards were the first ones to go in soon followed by the Doctor and Bon-Bon.
Lyra was crying on the floor with her eyes closed and paralyses, Bon-Bon wanted to go up to her but was stopped by the Doctor.
"What gives, Doctor?"
"Why would they leave a valuable hostage right there unless-" Then the doors slammed shut and a weeping Pegasus was blocking it.
The two guards went into a defensive positions.
"Doctor, can you hear me." came a voice from the other side.
"We're fine, but the door is blocked by a weeping Pegasus but if we keep our eyes on it should be alright."Then another Pegasus came into view and the lights began to flicker.
"That can't be good..."
"Stand back, Twilight , I'm blasting the door." A huge beam of solar energy went straight through the door letting the light in.
"Alright thats good, thank you , princess" The Doctor bowed.
"Lyra!" Bon-Bon called out while running down the stairs with the Doctor.
"She's alright don't worry." The Doctor said , while checking her for any injuries.
"Lyra!" Bon-Bon said as she cradled Lyra in her arms.
"...Bon"Lyra said softly.
"Lyra! you're alright!"Bon-Bon said while hugging Lyra tightly.
"Bon-Bon... Can't breath..."Lyra chocked.
"Don't celebrate just yet, There's one more..."The Doctor said looking out to the other statue.
"No mercy..." The Doctor whispered in the ear of the statue.
There was a knock on the door.
A pair of ponies wearing strange looking armor walked into the room, one of them was wearing a red beret, and the other a bandana.
"Ah, The Catalyst, I presume." The Doctor said.
"The Doctor, last of the time lords, we've been looking for you." The one with the bandana said."Here take this."The one with a beret said.
"This is a-"The Doctor was cut off by the pony wearing the bandana.
"A universe hopper, perfect for your type 40 tardis."The pony with the bandana finished.
"And this."The one with the beret said holding out a small device." This is a body changer,it changes and rearrange your body to match the base, like equine or humanoid, But only went you travel through universes."
"Oh , this is brilliant but I'll be stuck here for another day, seeing the sights and what not." The Doctor said picking up a book entitled 'History of Celestia's reign" and quickly flipping through it and putting it down.
"Well Doctor we'll be off, got all of time to save." The one with the bandana said.
"Nice seeing ya' , oh and take these buggers with you." The Doctor pointed a hoof at the pegasi.
"Already done, goodbye Doctor."As they teleported away with the pegasi.
"Well that was exciting,Everyone should get some rest."The Doctor said aloud.
"Everpony."Bon-Bon corrected.
"Right. Everpony should get some rest, we had a busy day and its barely noon."
"Lyra, are you gonna be alright?" Twilight asked worried
"Never better."Lyra groaned from the pain in her chest.
"Lyra don't worry its just an after effect for being parlayed for to long." The Doctor said.
"It...hurts...like...uggg..."Lyra groaned in pain as she fell on the floor.
"Hold still."The Doctor hit Lyra in the chest, Bon-Bon was about to protest but Lyra stood up.
"I'm fine see , look."Lyra turned around to let them examine her. "No need to worry Bon."Lyra said to reassure Bon-Bon.
"Now thats done we should really get some rest, we all had a hard day and should take a nap later this after noon and-"The Doctor was cut off by the pink pony he met on his way to the library but now she was wearing a colorful party hat, cake on her back and cannon in tow.
"Hello Mister Doctor, I thought you might get lost to your party at sugercube corner, so I thought why not bring the party to you."Pinkie said smiling
"Pinkie, what are you-"Twilight said before being cut off by Pinkie.
"DUCK AND COVER EVERYPONY."Pinkie yelled out.
She pushed the button that fired confetti, balloons and even a table complete with food and drinks.
"But how- wha- but that's impossible, how did you get all that to fit in there."The Doctor asked with a 'What just happened' look plastered all over his face.
"Its bigger on the inside."Pinkie said as she was hopping to the turntable.
"ITS TIME TO PARTY!!!" She said as she pulled a white unicorn with blue hair and purple tinted glasses.
"Lets spin this thing." The DJ said
Everypony in town came and started partying.
"This is gonna be a long day." The Doctor muttered to himself.
"I am so sorry, princess, I thought that today was gonna be another peaceful day."Twilight apologized.
"No need to apologize my faithful student, as long as he's here everpony in ponyville will be safe." Celestia said as she pointed a hoof at the doctor.
"Who exactly is he?"Twilight asked looking over to the Doctor that was talking with Lyra and Bon-Bon.
"Like he said he's the Doctor, well Twilight, I shall go back to canterlot Luna must be getting worried."
"Goodbye, Princess."Twilight said with a bow.
"Goodbye, Twilight." Celestia said as she was escorted by the two guards.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
After the party.
10 P.M.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"What a great party Pinkie." A mare with a red coat and a bouquet of roses as a cutie mark.
"But I think we're all partied out."A stallion said with a blue coat and a pair of pillows as a cutie mark."Well see ya Pinkie."
"Bye, thanks for coming."Pinkie said smiling as she bounced out and was heading home.
"We should get some rest, we had a busy day."The Doctor said taking a few books from the shelf." May I take some books with me."
"Huh, oh , of course, take as many as you like."Twilight was in deep thought.
"Whats on your mind, Ms. Sparkle."The Doctor said as he picked up some more books.
"Nothing, just who are you?"Twilight asked
"I'm the Doctor."
"Doctor Who?"Twilight said slightly raising her voice.
"Just the Doctor."The Doctor said in a calm voice."Well Lyra, Bon-Bon can you help with this." Pointing a hoof at the stack of books."Just some light reading material."
"Thats LIGHT reading material!"
"To me it is, come on lets go home." The Doctor said lifting the books onto his back and walking out the door with the two mares helping him.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Bon-Bon's house

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"Well, goodnight girls, just gonna do a little light reading before I go to bed."The Doctor said carring the majority of the books into the study.
"Good night, Doctor."Bon-Bon yawned.
"G'night, Bon, Doctor." Lyra yawned as she walked into her room , The Doctor went into the study and started reading, He finished most of the books , but he slowed down when he took the history books.
"Gaia Era, The brown alicorn crated the earth and the sky, first she created the earth ponies and taught them how to take care of the land, Then the pegasi and taught them how to control the weather, and the unicorns she taught them how to create and use the arcane spells and other types of magic." The Doctor red aloud.
"Discordian Era, After the end of the reign of gaia, Disorder started, the three races fought over the throne from the disorder Discord ,The God Of Chaos, used this to his advantage, After he seized the throne, he was challenged by the two alicorn sisters, Celestia and Luna useing the Elements of Harmony they used it to seal discord in stone, There were 7 elements in total, The last element was lost as a result of Discord's magic, The one who used the element was..."The Doctor tried to read the last words but it was to faded. the only thing readable was 'Box'.
As the Doctor looked at the clock it was past twelve."Its late, Better get to bed."
Meanwhile in another universe
*Sound of war drums fill the room*
*A painting of Gallifrey spinning*
The Mysterious Time Lady was looking the the painting with crossed arms.
"All hell will break loose when the Doctor returns."
