//------------------------------// // Regulus ♌ The Lion's Share // Story: 6.7.11 // by Morningstar1337 //------------------------------// TARDIS ??:00 The Doctor was bust studying the Antikythera mechanism. Rainbow Dash went in the room. She said "How long did you travel in this box." He was tinkering with the device. He said "I dunno, could be a few seconds, could be a few centuries. It's kinda timey-wimey that way. Why do you ask?" "No reason." She lied. River Song entered the the room. She asked why the rainbow maned pegasus was here. Rainbow Dash left the room. Meanwhile Twilight was reading another book in the library. She was amazed by all the stories this universe had to offer. She found a book with "Sherlock Holmes" on the cover. She was about to read it when the Doctor said that the TARDIS was about to land. She took the book and put it in a saddlebag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Museum of London 3:00 PM 6:07 PM 7/19/2011 In the Museum of London was opening a new exhibit today. Sherlock Holmes and John Watson was busy checking it out. The detective went to a display showing a lion's hide. The mane appeared to had been burning like the flames of Prometheus. There was a plaque that read "Hercules and the Nemean Lion." he took out his magnifying glass and began examining it. The detective said "This is definitely the skin of the Nemean Lion." "But Shelock," said John. "How can you tell this apart from any other tanned hide?" "Elementary. The hide had some specks of gold showing through the dirt. the fabric that lined the skin was made only crude methods, and finally if you look closely you could see that there was almost no scratches. The carcass was unearthed from small part of Greece near the river of Styx, you think there would be more than a few scratches here and there." "I see." John was not impressed. Having known the detective's talents for several months now. The detective said "Must have been fun to live as Heracles. The danger, The excitement, The fact that this skin makes it easier to do what we love without fear of retribution." The duo had left the museum as it was about to close. They passed a security guard on the way back. The guard was cross with him. They returned to their flat. The detective had noticed there was plaster some of the walls. But he didn't care about it one bit. John went back to his computer to blog about today, a little bored that there wasn't any new cases lately. They both went to sleep after a few hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ London 8:00 PM The TARDIS had landed on a street corner several blocks from the museum. The Doctor had advised the ponies to stay in the TARDIS this time. Rainbow Dash was not pleased with this. The Doctor went out to search for the chronosteel. He saw an elderly couple on the sidewalk but he paid it no mind. He also saw a man in a business suit and a woman wearing some sort of Victorian style dress. But he paid them no mind and continued his search and eventually returned to the blue box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TARDIS 10:00 PM Toola Roola walked around the TARDIS looking for Rarity. She saw the white unicorn with Fluttershy. They noticed the multicolored-maned unicorn and Rarity said "Hello, is there anything you need?" "Do you know how to ward off nightmares?" Toola Roola said. She noticed that Rarity had put her gems away. The white unicorn said no and left. Toola Roola went back to her room. She started painting. Meanwhile Applejack had caught up to the pink unicorn. She saw her paint on her easel. She was painting a picture a golden lion. The orange earth pony thought this was strange. but she she decided to wait until tomorrow to ask. She and the others went to sleep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Museum of London 1:00 AM 7/20/2011 The janitor was busy cleaning the Nemean Lion exhibit when suddenly he heard something. He went to check out what the noise was. Outside the elderly couple, the woman in the dress, and the man in the business suit were sleeping in a building nearby the museum. They heard some screams and woke up. The man in the business suit went out check out the noise. The elderly couple and woman then followed. They saw a corpse in the street. They went to see what had happened. There was no cars to run him over, and there was no people to kill him They saw no blood, no scratches, no cuts not a single injury. They then saw some aliens hiding in the shadows. They went to take a closer look, but before they could do so the aliens vanished and they forgot entirely about the encounter. The decided to report the death to the authorities.
