"Doctor?" Ditzy called out, "Are you there?"
The grey, pegasus mare looked for the Doctor, where was he? He always came at this time, they always met under a large willow tree. But where was he today? It was the right time, Ditzy was sure of it. Ditzy stepped foward only to hear a small crunch. She looked down and noticed a note. Ditzy picked it up and began to read.
Dear Ditzy,
I am sorry, but I must go, I am leaving you here, it is safe and I don't want you hurt. Please remember me and always know that I cared about you.
Sincerely,
Doctor
Ditzy's heart shattered, he was gone? A large lump in in throat appeared. Tears began to roll down her face as she made a small whimper.
"Doctor." Ditzy whispered.
----------------------------
Ditzy snapped awake and gasped. She looked around her room, it was still the same, no tree, no letter, and no Doctor. Ditzy sighed and got up to go to the bathroom. It was always the same dream, having to re-live the day her heart broke, the day he left. Of course there was still the question of the new Doctor.
Ditzy had thought about him, she knew he was the Doctor, same cutie mark, same accent, and same color, It had to be, the only thing was the fact he wasn't a unicorn. But did he remember her? He had asked her name, and had introduced himself, it was odd. She would think the Doctor would remember her. They had known each other for most of her foalhood, but he could have gotten hurt, lost his memory, but that still didn't explain why he was in Ponyville.
Ditzy walked out of the bathroom and into her closet and pulled out a medium sized box. Ditzy smiled as she read the label, "Doctor". Opening the box carefully she looked inside. The box contained many objects from Ditzy's time with the Doctor. On top of the stack was a hand drawn picture by a small filly. There was a brown stallion with a hourglass cutue mark and a little grey pegasus flying above him. Under that there was a hourglass, just like the one on the Doctor's flank. Ditzy smiled as she picked up the hourglass and turned it, making the sand inside flow.
There were many more objects in the box, pictures, trinkets, a small box sat underneath everything. Ditzy sighed as she picked up the box, it was the Doctor's TARDIS, or at least a small version of it. Ditzy had made it the day the Doctor had left and was planning to show it to him the next day. She never got to.
Ditzy put away the box and walked downstairs carrying the TARDIS with her. She set it down on the table and sighed. She would need to go to the Doctor's, she had to tell him she remembered. She had the box as proof. Dinky wouldn't wake up for awhile. Ditzy looked around and pulled out a pen and paper and wrote a small note telling Dinky where she had gone. It wouldn't take too long, just a small visit.
Ditzy picked up the box and put it on her back, this would be the only way to carry it. She opened the front door to her house and closed it behind her. She hoped nopony would see the box as she walked to the house. Just then Pinkie walked over.
"Hey Ditz! Whats that?" Pinkie said pointing to the TARDIS. Pinkie walked over to it and tried to pick it up.
"PINKIE! Don't touch!" Ditzy said slapping her hoof away, she didn't normally raise her voice, but she didn't want anything to happen to the TARDIS, it couldn't get hurt.
"Geez, sorry," Pinkie said looking hurt, "I didn't know it was that important."
"Its ok, it's just, this is really special to me and I can't let anypony touch it, I don't want it to get hurt." Ditzy said shifting the TARDIS on her back.
"Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie said as her smile returned, "See ya later Ditzy!"
Ditzy sighed and kept on walking, this was going to be a long walk.
---------------------
Ditzy finally approached the house, it had been a long walk, apparently all the elements thought the replica was amazing and they all tried to do something with it. Ditzy each time had to tell them not to touch and had to push them away.
Ditzy smiled as she saw the house, she walked up to the door and knocked. The door soon opened and Ditzy smiled brighter as she saw the Doctor.
"Doctor, I'm sorry to come so early, but I have something very important and it couldn't wait until later." Ditzy said all in one breath.
"Well come in then, come in." The Doctor said letting her in. Once they were both inside and sitting, Ditzy pulled the TADRDIS out.
"Is that?" The Doctor smiled, his eyes shining, "The TARDIS?"
"You remember!" Ditzy said jumping up and hugging him.
"Of course I do Ditzy, I remember you, I could never forget you." He said smiling.
All of Ditzy's doubts and fears washed away, it was the Doctor, but there were still questions.
"Why did you leave?" Ditzy asked as she sat back down.
"Ditzy, I told you, I'm not letting you get hurt. I don't want the mare I cared about the most to die." He sighed.
Ditzy smiled sadly and put her hoof on top of the Doctor's, "I wont get hurt and I know if I did you would protect me."
The Doctor looked up at Ditzy, she wasn't a filly anymore she was an adult, she understood even if it wasn't safe that she and the Doctor were meant to be. Fate has an odd way of showing itself, and it was fate that brought them together and it would be fate that kept them together.
"Doctor, for all those years, I missed you, the day you left was the worst day of my life." Ditzy said, "Couldn't you have stayed?"
"I could have, but I was afraid, I didn't want to lose you." The Doctor replied.
"Well you're here with me now, and I'm safe." Ditzy said standing up and walking over to the Doctor.
"I suppose that's true-" He said and was about to say more before Ditzy stopped him by giving him a small kiss.
"I'm here with you and you are not going to leave again." Ditzy said when she broke the kiss.
The Doctor nodded and for the first time since he had left Ditzy he felt genuinely happy.
