TARDIS ??:00
The Doctor and River were preparing to to leave the TARDIS. The Time Lord wished to confront Sherlock. River said "Why on earth are you going to see the detective again?"
The Doctor took his sonic screwdriver and said "Because I want to find out why he's in this time."
Amy and Rory went with them as well. The 4 had left the blue box. They went to the police station to find out more about this man.

London 11:00 AM 7/21/2011
Sherlock and John had entered the police station there they saw Lestrade along with the witnesses.
"Ah, Sherlock." said Lestrade "You're just in time."
The detective took a look at the businessman and said "What company do you own?"
The businessman was baffled. He said "Titanic Skies Inc. How did you--"
Sherlock said "That suit and tie of yours is vintage silk. Highly expensive for this day and age. Can I see your phone?"
"Why?" said the businessman.
"I prefer to text and my own phone been spammed by odd messages lately."
The businessman gave Sherlock the phone. The detective went to to the elderly couple and said "I see you were married for the last 30 years?" Looking at the wedding band. He then took a look at the woman in the dress and said "From the looks of things you are ether a Victorian woman misplaced in time are more likely someone who likes Gothic Lolita clothing."
Everyone was a little impressed. Lestrade said "Alright anyone want to go first?"
Just then The inspector's mobile phone rang. He answered it and said "Sally, what in the world is it?"
The voice on the phone answered "Someone's here to see the freak sir. Claims to be some sort of Doctor."
Sherlock heard that last part and said "Let him in, I have a feeling this case concerns him as well."
Lestrade told his assistant to let them in. moments later The Doctor, Amy, Rory and River entered the room. By that point Sherlock noticed something on the businessman's tie. An elephant of sorts. The Doctor introduced himself and his companions and the interrogation of the murder witnesses began.

TARDIS ??:00
Apple Bloom, Applejack and Toola Roola were inside a room. The filly was painting something on an easel while the other two were taking. Applejack said "Are you sure that painting is my sister's talent?"
Toola Roola said "No I'm sure that art is part of her talent. I know an architect back in Manehatten who can teach her the skill she needs for it to shine though. In the meantime I thought I would teach her to express herself."
"Ah see." Applejack noticed something off about the multicolored-maned unicorn. "You're not hiding something are you?"
Toola Roola was shocked. She had to think of something. She said "I have no idea what you're talking about. Well time to see how she doing."
Applejack decided to leave it alone for now. They went to see Apple Bloom's painting. It was a decent portrait of her self and her friends. Applejack and Toola Roola was a little surprised at the quality. It looked a little better than an average doodle. The two mares decided to give a little praise to the painting but point out some of it's flaws. The 3 ponies left the the room. Apple Bloom was a little disappointed.

London 11:15 AM
"Alright," said Sherlock "Tell me what you saw last night." He was talking to the elderly couple.
The old woman said "Well it was dark. My husband and I were walking down the streets last night."
"At midnight?" Sherlock said.
The elder woman nodded. "When we got back to the street we saw the body. It was lying dead. We noticed some others with the dead janitor. They looked like slugs there was slime everywhere. We went to tell the police but when we got back the body was gone."
"That's preposterous!" said the woman in the dress. "I saw the body. The police outlined it and everything!"
The Doctor noticed the businessman and his tie with the elephant. He said "Who are you?"
Sherlock answered for the businessman "Craig Ronald Osborne, C.E.O. of Titanic Skies INC. A recent airport and management firm. I deduce he was vacationing after scoring a merger with several other companies and marrying someone called [Rhea.]" He looked to his tie and gave his phone back. He then looked to the woman in the dress and said "What's your side?"
She said "Well I saw the body, went with the others to report the death and saw some some sirens."
"Sirens?" River Song said. everyone else was baffled by the woman's response.
John Watson deadpanned "Yes, more believable than giant slugs."
The Doctor and Sherlock noticed something in the woman's tone of voice as she continued. She said "Well as soon as we came back the sirens were still there. The police had outlined the body and then the sirens started singing."
"Singing?" said Rory "At midnight?"
"Yes." The woman said "The sound seemed loud enough to wake the dead. They instead took the dead away. I'm sorry but I couldn't remember anything after that."
"I didn't see any sirens." The elderly woman said "They were slugs."
Amy and Rory were perplexed by these conflicting stories. Lestrade said "I must point out that there was no evidence of slime at the scene of the murder and my colleagues have reported no sounds. You must had been imagining things."
"I know what I saw!" The woman said.
"So did I!" The older woman said.
"Something's up." The Doctor said.
"Agreed." River said. They decided to take a break before getting Craig's side of the story.

TARDIS ??:00
Twilight Sparkle was finished reading the Sherlock Holmes books. Wondering if the man she saw in his was the real deal. Rainbow Dash walked in and said "What are you doing?" The rainbow maned pegasus then took another Daring Do book off the shelf.
Twilight said "Still wondering about whether this Sherlock is actually Sherlock Holmes."
The pegasus laughed. When she stopped she said "You have got to stop taking these books seriously Twilight. We're inside a time machine piloted by a self-declared madman. And you think <i>this</i> is problem? He even said something about time being in flux. and for all we know about history on this planet, Sherlock may very well be in this time." Rainbow Dash went back to reading her book. The purple unicorn left the library.
Twilight saw Toola Roola with her paints. She said "Do you think it's weird to have a guy like Sherlock in this time period?"
The multicolored-maned unicorn shook her head. Toola Roola said "Not as weird as any thing else that happened lately."
"By the way," Twilight said "About those paintings earlier--"
The pink unicorn said "Paintings," She started to sweat. "What paintings? I have no idea what you're talking about. Well I gotta go." Toola Roola left the room passing Fluttershy on the way.
The yellow pegasus was surprised by the pink unicorn's sudden galloping. She asked Twilight what's wrong. The purple unicorn said "Nothing" and left.

London 11:30 PM
The Doctor was getting a drink during the recess. Sherlock noticed the madman and went up to him. He said "So how long have you met them?"
The Doctor was surprised. He said "Who are you talking about?"
"Amy and Rory of course." said Sherlock.
The Doctor was a little stunned. He didn't tell the detective their names. Of course he remembered who he was talking to and said "2 maybe 3 years, why?"
"Why do you have so many people around you Doctor? Surely you must know that one day you will have to let them go."
"Well I just thought I would give some people a chance to explore the stars, get a little history and whatnot."
"That doesn't explain this." Sherlock took out his phone the message on it read 'B4d W01f' The Doctor was shocked.. Sherlock said "I deduce that you left somebody behind in a faraway place. Perhaps fooling those that didn't know what happened to you think that she died in the process."
"How did you get that message."
"I asked for Craig's phone because I wanted to find out more about him. This and similar messages had flooded my mail box the moment you and River left. I deduced that you know what the message means by your reaction to the phrase. I've seen these word on occasion but this one came to me. Without context I deduce that someone's trying to message you in an indirect manor." Sherlock looked to Amy and Rory and said to the Doctor "Then there's these two. One of them had waited several years for you and the other waited several millennium to save her."
"How would you know that?" Now the Doctor was convinced someone's pulling strings behind the scenes.
"You think a conspiracy is going about?" Sherlock said "I got that information from some of the messages. Others told of a woman that walked the earth for a whole year to help you, only for her family to traumatized for god know how long. Others told of another woman, Ginger, strong, but doomed to amnesia of certain events lest the flow of reclaimed information will overload her brain and kill her."
The detective pointed to River and said "Then there's her. While she may be alive to you and her parents, as far as you're concerned she is a ghost who hasn't died yet. The rest involved a message about the fate of a world so close to ours and yet so far away. The remnants of its population wandering space and time. Tell me Doctor why would you ahve so many friends."
"Because friends protect people." The Doctor said.
"John Watson said that exact same phrase to me at one. But here in this context I still think that alone would better protect people."
"From what?"
"From you." Sherlock said "The survivor of a war between two races that all things considered shouldn't had existed without benefiting other species. The last email before the message I showed you included 2 prophecies: The first said something about the fields of Trenzalore, The falling of silence, and the very first question. The second appeared to be a counter to that. Stating an apocalypse and rapture will bring forth several heroes to save the universe. All of these messages besides the one I showed you came from one place but in several timelines. I know you harbor ill feelings at my existence in this time period. But ask yourself this Doctor: If our continued existences are a threat to all creation, then why do we continue to exist?"
The Doctor was confused by the detective's lecture. Lestrade went in and said that the recess is over. Sherlock said "Well then if I were you I'd avoid Trenzalore until at least the conspiracy is dealt with." They went back to get Craig's story.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
London 12:00 NOON
The Doctor and Sherlock went back to Craig Ronald Osborn's side of the story Lestrade said "OK try to make this as plausible as possible."
Craig said "Well I saw the body on the street like the other stories. But the monsters were different. My memory was a little fuzzy but they were there. My memory was a little fuzzy but I hid behind a street corner. I saw the police outline the body, and then I saw the body stand up and it moved into the museum. He placed a lifelike dummy on the the outline in the exact same pose. Then entered the museum again. I think he took something from it and left the museum from the back door."
"What were you doing here in the museum in the first place?" said Sherlock.
"And what is with that tie?" said the Doctor.
"Tie, what tie?" said Craig.
"The one with the elephant. The--"
The Doctor was interrupted by Sherlock saying "Elephant in the living room."
Lestrade's phone rang again. The inspector said "What is it Sally?"
The voice on the phone answered "The museum called, The Nemean skin's missing."
Everyone but The Doctor and his companions went to the museum.
