Muffin Mare looked out into the endless expanse of white, the ground crunching under her feet the only evidence of physicality. She needed to find something, something precious, something never lost, just not yet found. She spun on her back legs, then spun again, and again. Eight times she did turn and in the distance she saw what she wanted. It was a blue box with the words POLICE across the one door.
Muffin shook her head, "Well nothing for it, But to get trotting."
Thus she began forward, step by step, bringing her no closer, like slogging through water or a high wind she felt the pressure to stay back, but still that blue box was her destination. She snorted and set her feet, what was a little hardship compared to a lifetime of being undervalued, of even friends thinking you dumb, because of an EYE condition. So step by step she pushed forward.

"Oh, I love this One, Darling, She doesn't know or care the Universe is against her. She made up her mind and is now going to accomplish it, simple really."
"So, You will help her?"
"Hush, Darling, no talking during theater"
#####################
The box was important, no, it was who was inside, he was important. He? Yes! He, the Doctor, Muffin Mare had traveled with the Doctor, Right? But Muffin Mare hadn't, someone else did. Someone that had been her. Someone with a different name. Some one with a different Cutie Mark, who was that? She shook her head and stopped, why was her head so cloudy? She was bubbly and cheerful, maybe clumsy, but not stupid. She needed to clear her head. So the Grey Coated, Pegasus began to sing.
Hoof Beats Crash
Enemies closing Fast
How where we brave
How Did Our Love let us stand so tall
We always stood alone.
All of these Foes
Suddenly falls all around
One Thought Clearer

Ohhh, you cheeky monster, you didn't tell me this was musical theater, the determination,
the skill, the pipes on that one, Bravo, my dear! Encore!
Encore!
It is called Heartsong, a natural manifestation of strong emotion channeling magic through the biologic, inducing a sympathetic reaction from both the environment and the singer.
Shhhhhh! Spoilers!!!!!

She remembered her name, Derpilina Ditzania Doo. All others had called her Derpy. She had long stopped arguing about it, long accepted the name, till he came into her life. The Doctor, Her Doctor, He called her Lina. She had asked him once why. Why did he insist on using either that name or referring to her as Ms. Doo. "Because," He had said, "Those are your names," that had been it. She set her feet, took another step as more memories came back, memories of Dinky and Sparkler, her children, THEIR children. Tears flowed, as a stern look fell over her face, she took another step towards the blue box. She was not afraid, she was not mad, she was not determined, she was beyond all of those things. It was now a fixed point, that she was going to wipe from existence any, Darlick, Cyberman, Timelord, whatever, that stood in her way to getting her family back. She would watch them BURN. Again another step forward. Again the song.

One Link Broken
Lina slowly moved forward, her step quickening, her forgotten strength pushing her forward. This was the Mare that the element of harmony admitted was faster then her. This was the companion of the Doctor, this was his wife, the mortal that had stolen his hearts. The one who had never tried to tie him down and never would. She was a Pegasus, she understood the need to move, her job as a mailmare, was in part to satisfy that. She loved him and he loved her, he had been a great father to both Dinky and Sparkler, he made her happy. She was done having her happiness discounted or made less important. He had never done that, so neither would she. He was HER Doctor and She was HIS Companion. She knew what she had to do, again the Heartsong.
I will come, Don't worry
Wait, there for me.
Doctor Time to Wake Up
I do love you
For all These Years
I love you Forever More
And all this time I believed
We are worth this
Time has kept your heart for me
I do love you
For all this time
I love you forever more
One Chain Broken
One Lock Opens
Lina raised her head, the TARDIS, more then a home. She was the sister Lina always needed. They couldn't speak but always talked. Lina heard within her memories, Dinky and Sparkler laughing through the hidden parts of that ship. The TARDIS had always kept them safe. Then Lina had died. Her death a fixed point. It had been an assassination attempt lead by the Darlicks and the Cybermen. Her death had been made fixed by Time Lords that didn't appreciate her effect on the Doctor. It should not have surprised them when the Doctor had gone mad with rage. Before they could convince him to listen he had nearly wiped all of their species from existence. They offered him a deal. All of his memories and all of hers locked in temporal stasis. They would just be Muffin Mare and Time Turner, never again to be anything other then friends. The unintended side effect had been that Dinky and Sparkler had never existed. She would see them all burn for that. Before her the TARDIS called, it was just as ready as she was. Loosing Dinky and Sparkler had been enough, the Mother and The TARDIS were going to get their kids back, Celestia help any that stood in there way, no one else was likely to be able to.
#################
They Did what to her? They took my nieces from ME?!!!!!! Even that second rate TARDIS knows, it is time to end them all. Even I would never have gone so far. I will enjoy the rest of the show dear Lina and That TARDIS are going to perform. I may even indulge in a little audience participation, just to let those dear sisters of mine know that I support their goals as any true sister would.
The one standing next to her was wisely silent.
######################
They will die Burning
Screaming our names
Doctor don't be afraid
I am coming
As I always will
As I will forever more
And all this time I
knew You were within Him
Time Has Kept your Heartbeats
I will find you
Forever more
I love you forever more

"Lina figured it out!!!!!!"
"What did she figure out?"
"You really need to stop talking and pay attention to the play. She knows, I don't know how,the location of what is sealing the doctor away and she is going to go destroy it."
"Explain."
"In Short, you forgettably, adorable, young stallion, you don't need me to FREE her, OR the Doctor, you need me, idiot, to PROTECT her, and that is going to be a lot more FUN."
########################################
Lina raised her head, the TARDIS was right before her just a few more steps, then she would be with the first member of her family. Her true sister, and the other wife of the Doctor.
Lina smiled, "It's good to see you, sorry to have kept you waiting"
The door slid open, and she could hear the engines start up.
Lina Giggled. "Alright, I agree, it's time we got on our way."
Lina took another step, but finally giving in to the pressure directed around her, she fell. Her face hit the ground. A blue glow issued from the TARDIS bathing her in soft light. Lina lifted her head, blood trickling out of her noise, she leaned back and sat on her haunches, spitting a little blood out of her mouth, she spoke.
"Sorry , Big sis, I guess I'm still a little clumsy, don't know what went wrong, never did figure out what the Doctor saw in me. I'm not strong and smart like you, but he and our children need US, and I'm not going to let them down. Heh, A little inconvenience like this isn't going to hold me back. I've faced much worse. Did I ever tell you? My parents didn't want me. They shipped me off to a special school for Pegasus with problems flying. I have hurt myself so many different ways, crashing because my eyes are horrible for depth perception." She giggled a little.
"Everyone said they were weird and poked fun. The Doctor said they're pretty, that I'm pretty. You, immediately made me feel at home, you gave my Dinky a home. When I adopted Sparkler, you accepted her as well. You were an additional mother to both. The Doctor was the father that Dinky never had. His real father was a teacher at the school, he made me feel pretty, and then when Dinky happened, he had me removed, and refused to see me. He sent me money to help with Dinky, but only as long as I stayed away. The Doctor and you have been my truest family, and I may fall, I may get hurt, I may make serious mistakes, but a lifetime of them, has made me capable of always getting back up, with a smile, and a laugh, in order to get right back to doing what needs to be done. I mat not be able to do much, but I can do that."
The Grey coated Pegasus mare, stood, and slowly, carefully, put one hoof in front of the other. The blue glow strengthening as she stepped closer to the door. A door that had never been closed to her. A door that, for her would always be open. Her eyes set, her mind determined, her will absolute, she crossed the threshold, and together, the two sisters, long being in love with the same man, departed.
############################
"You are crying. For what purpose your tears."
"Because that darling was the most Beautiful ending of all time and it set things up so well for the sequel.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a delinquent father to find. No one hurts MY dearest little sister like that. Oh don't worry about those who locked them all away. I will be sure to make absolutely, positively certain that they are adequately distracted until it is to late to stop the Oncoming Storm and those lovely little Valkyries of his. Oh, the things they will do, and the places they'll burn, I can't wait, it's going to be so much fun.
###########################
After all had departed, after all had turned their eyes from that barren place, four stone statues gathered. Pegasai of beautiful, angelic countenance, each looked out upon a different direction. There they waited, they waited for the call, the call of the one who called them Friends.
