//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: The Doc // Story: My little TimeLine // by ChangelingProductions //------------------------------// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A gray pegasus laid down on his old red musty couch. He was snoring loudly and hung his head slightly off the edge. Next to him was a pile of old food and crumpled papers. This was indeed the look of a gentle cult, he even whor a black bow tie to prove it. He called himself "Doctor". He slept for hours until a loud banging sound disturbed his ritual of slumber. He awoke with a panic and plunged off the sofa. He got up slowly and weakly to try and see what the problem was. The Doc was inside his control room. it was themed around red steampunk with a hint of classical. It was a decently sized room filled to the brim with bookcases with junk and bookcases. Next to the master controls where huge boxes labeled 'questions' stuffed with thin pieces of white and blue paper. Finally, in the fount was a large set of white doors labeled "Police public call box" backwords where the banging was coming from. "Hello?" The Doc said trying to hide his concern with an impassioned tone. The banging became louder. "I don't know who or what y-you are, but you better get off my bloody TARDIS right now! I mean where fucking traveling between time and space right now, how are you not going completely insane?!" The banging pressed on, even louder now. Suddenly, the doors swooshed open, and in came a pink figure with a butcher knife and a hoof stitched apron of assorted colors. She had long dark pink hair and small blue pupils. Her lips were cracked from being dried out and her smile brought chills down the Doc's spine. "Insane?" She said cheerfully. "Of course I'm insane, I have just broken into one of the most... how you'd say... 'protected'... ya, protected. I just broke into the least protected TARDIS in the multiverse, and I'm not even gonna kill the only guard. I must be crazy to pass up THIS opportunity!" The Doc was horrified. He wanted to speak, but couldn't. He's dealt with Pinkamina before, but something was different about her. Wait, what did she say? 'Multiverse'? Ah, yes, of course, she must be from another timeline. "Multiverse? You mean you're not from this reality? I'd be shocked if I wasn't used to things like this by now. " "Aww, don't be a 'Party Pooper', I came here to thank you!" The Doc was analyzing this more closely now. "Thank me? For what? What did I do for you?" Pinkamina smiled. "Oh, I wanted to thank you for giving me your TARDIS. The one I sto-Borrowed from my universe burned out, and I heard from a little birdy yours can easily go between reality!" The Doc was stunned. Who told her about his reality jumping abilities? If someone told her, how did THEY know? DId he tell her in the future, or did someone figure it out? Wait... she just admitted to stealing a TARDIS from another universe, but if that true... "What happened to the Doctor of your reality" The Doc blurted out without even thinking of consequences, or thinking at all for that matter. "Oh, that snore fest? I simply pushed him out his TARDIS and into some random reality. I think he fell into the one that had a blue Twilight or something. Don't know, don't care." Pinkamina happily replied. "Anyways-" Pinkamina without warning ran up to the Doc and pierced her cleaver into his shoulder. He screeched in agony. "- I'm not ready to start killing you all yet, so I'm being nice and giving everyone a head start to try and prepare for me! Trust me, if I was ready to kill ya now I would, but I have something I want to do, and it's no fun when you don't have companions, so I'm just gonna through you into some jerks timeline. Hope there nice" Before anything else could be said, the Doc was not just thrown, but ejected out into the colorful void that surrounded the TARDIS. His ears and his eye's bled as soon as he left the TARDIS safety field range. "Bye, see you again when I'm ready to start killing you all! It's gonna be fun! I'm gonna get some friends first to help me play! Oh, before I forget, I need to tell you my evil plans and- HAY, Stop floating away! Uhg, FINE, I'll tell you when I see you later... K bye!~ <3" This was the last thing he heard before everything began to ring, and his eyes began to fog up. He felt his muscles tense so tight, that they made the pain of the cleaver seem like a light tap on the nose. He was floating away into some poor saps world. His last thought before going unconscious was as follows... 'Please don't look at the magazines on the floor, please don't look at the magazines on the floor, please don't look... at... magazines... floor...' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight looked out her palace window before going to bed for the night, she sighed. Today had been a weird one. It went like this; Twilight was trying to visit Pinke pie and thank her for the wonderful cupcakes she had received. Upon hearing she sent cupcakes she tried to say they weren't from her, but then her Pinkie senses started up and she closed Sugar cube corner. After that, Twilight tried to visit some of her friends, but they were all busy looking for Rainbow Dash. She had been missing for days and no one knew where she was. She just vanished. Twilight looked up at the stars. She hadn't slept well for the past few days, she kept having nightmares about the same thing: A tall Alicorn taking her away into a dark void with Rainbowdash. It made her shiver to think about how Luna her self-had sent a letter about how she could not find Twilights dreams. Another heavy sigh came out of her mouth. She knew tomorrow, she was gonna have to go to visit the Princesses early in the morning, and Starlight was gonna have to look after the castle with Spike. Luna had asked for Twilight to come alone, and it scared her. "Why," Twilight said to her self-allowed. "Why does Luna want me alone? What's so bad that I would put others in danger to bring them with me..." Twilight looked up. A falling star was going through the cloudless night sky. She stared at it for a second before closing her eyes and making a wish to her self, whispering it under her breath. She looked back at it as it landed. It only took her a moment to realize the shooting star had crashed into the Everfree forest instead of soring through it. Something had crashed from the sky. Somepony could be hurt. Twilight flew out of her home and straight towards the crash site. She smelled a powerful chared like stench the closer she got. Something was definitely hurt, she could feel it. When she finally made it to the crash site, her maw dropped. Inside of a large crater was a gray pegasus with dark gray pointy hair, a short tail, and chared up wings. His eyes looked pinkish around the edges, and his ears were still dripping small amounts of blood, Other than that, the only other thing to notice was that he was concise. Twilight ran to him and studied his face. He looked like her old friend Dr.Time Turner from down the street, even his cutie mark was the same. The only difference being that his colors where only shades of gray. "Wha... what happened to you? I'm getting you to the hospital immediately! Hold on, I'll tekACH-" He threw a rock at her head and missed. "What the buck?!" "No... hospitals... Marsh... mallow" He said groggily like state through the pain. "Marshmallow?! What do you-" "Shhh... No... hospitals... I hate..." He closed his eyes. Twilight used her magic to put him on her shoulders. Against his will, she teleported straight to Nurse Redheart... or at least tried to before he grabbed her horn. 'WHAT ARE YOU-" They both teleported away to somewhere she wasn't expecting. They were on the Apple family barn. Twilight looked around, stunned. Inside where crates of missing posters for some purple pony, and next to those were hay bales and ropes. The floor was covered in hay, and there where wooden pens built around the left wall. Above the right wall was a first aid kit. Twilight ran opposite to the left wall's strange design and grabbed the first aid kit. She could tell there was no use in trying to get to Redheart. He smiled as his eyes began to close. He was passing out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Doc woke up to an uncomfortable feeling around his wings. It took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the light of the barn. He was placed on top of an old hay bale with his only company being Twilight Sparkle and an old scarecrow with a tattered dark brown coat. "Bloody fucking hell my head hurts," He said under his breath. Twilight turned her head. She didn't hear what he said, but she did hear him whisper something. Twilight had a million questions to ask the strange pony messing with the scarecrows coat; Who are you where did you come from, how did you alter my teleportation spell with only your hooves, and why did he call her 'Marshmallow?' "Who did you do that?" She decided to say without specification. The Doc darted his head towards her. He pushed the scarecrow down and stared at her with a confused face. He took a moment to think, and came to a conclusion of what she must have meant. "If you mean the whole 'teleportation' think it's very simple, I knew you would take me to a hospital so I chose the one place you wouldn't expect: The Apple farms barn'." The Doc looked around. "And judging by my surroundings I think it's safe to say I did a speaking job of doing so." Twilight was speechless, she tried to talk and ask for specifics but just the mear fact he had controlled sent chills down her spine. The Doc looked around the barn only for his eyes to fall upon the left wall stables. Something was wrong. "So Ma- Twilight... Can you tell me what those are?" Twilight snapped out of her trance. She looked at where he was pointing his hoof. It was a strange thing to have built into your walls Twilight thought. She studied them thoroughly. "I... don't know..." She sadly said. The Doc was picking up the scarecrow he dropped. "There stables." The Doc removed the straw pony's coat. "What's a... 'stable', and what's it used for?" The Doc was studying the coat, there were holes and tears at the bottom, but other then that, everything seemed fine. "That's what I was scared of... I should have realized... this may be bad, but that's ok." He started putting the coat on his body. "What are you talking about?" Twilight asked trying to think of what he meant. "Ok, this is gonna sound like crazy and stuff, but magic plus dimension hopping is a no-no.-" The Doc sat up. "- You see, I'm from an alternate reality. I had... crashed into your world through a sort of vortex. When you started teleporting, I had to act fast and just forced you to change the location to the barn, however, being frown freshly out of reality made me temporally... 'Not compatible with this world'... After I forced you here, it also forced us to the reality next over. Understand?" Twilight stared. She could not understand what was coming out of his mouth. He talked in such a strange way that she could bearly understand. He noticed. "Ok... I'll explain more slowly. We in different world now, we not home. Big bad bad." Even though insulted, Twilight understood what this crazy guy was saying now. "Got it, you were knocked on your head on the way down," Twilight said sarcastically. The Doc looked visibly more agitated. "Stables." He said. "Ponies should not have stables in normal timelines. You clearly had no idea what they were and they don't look new. Also you-" He stopped. Right behind Twilight was a box filled with papers. He got up to inspect the crate. "Hey, we're not done! What are you doing?" Twilight yelled. The Doc didn't listen and walked closer to the papers. "Come. Over. Here." He said in a blank tone. "What... what is it?" Twilight said visibly starting to worry. She walked over to The Doc and looked down. Her pupils shrank and her maw opened a jar. Inside the creat where missing posters with her face inside labeled 'Missing last seen Jan 26, 2012, the reward will be 200,000,000 bits with a chance to meet the Princess her self.' Twilight stepped back. Something was truly wrong. She used her now depleting strength to look at the Doc and say "what have you done..." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pinkie Pie looked out the window to stare at the storm clouds as they rained. Next to her sat Pinkamina, starring with her in joy. They couldn't wait for everyone else to come, it would be so much more fun when more poney's joined them! "So... how much longer till Surprise comes back with our friends?" Pinke said to Pinkamina. "Not much longer, I made sure the... Terdis... TARDIS! I maid sure the Tardis would listen to Surprise as it flew. It know The Doc will be dead soon." Pinkamina said to Pinkie. "This is gonna be so much fun" They said in unisen. ~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
