The Doctor and Ditzy walked through the market the next day, Dinky was at Twist's house so they decided it would be fun. The couple walked around looking at all the stands. Ditzy had never seen all of them, she was always too busy, and the Doctor had just moved to Ponyville.
As the two walked through, a pegasus pony appeared.
"Ditzy? Are you dating somepony?" Rainbow asked as she saw the Doctor.
"I um..." Ditzy mumbled looking down at her feet.
"Is this Dinky's dad?" Rainbow asked oblivious to the awkwardness.
Ditzy became stiff at the mention of Dinky's dad, she hated talking about it. The Doctor saw this and began to talk.
"Miss Rainbow Dash? I'm sorry but uhm, me and Ditzy need some time alone, sorry." The Doctor said trying not to yell or do anything that would make Dash stay.
"Time alone? Ohhhh," Dash said as a sly grin appeared on her face, "Ok, see you later."
When Dash was gone the Doctor looked to Ditzy, "Are you ok?"
Ditzy nodded unable to speak, the Doctor took this as a "I'm fine, but I really just want to leave". The Doctor led Ditzy back to his house, had her sit down, and gave her a glass of water.
"Now then, what's wrong?" He asked.
"D-Dinky's dad." Ditzy whispered as she shook.
The Doctor's eyes widened, "Please don't tell me that happened to you."
Ditzy nodded sadly, her eyes stopped facing the right way and they began to move, making her look like she was looking in a different direction.
The Doctor looked around before whispering his question, "Rape?"
Dizty nodded and began to sob, she loved Dinky, more than anything, but why did she have to come from something that wasn't love.
The Doctor walked over to Ditzy and sat down next to her, "Shhhh." He whispered trying to calm her, "It's ok, you don't have to talk about anything you don't want to."
Ditzy wiped tears from her eyes and began to quiet down, she was glad the Doctor was here, to comfort her, to stay with her. Ditzy sighed and looked up at him. After all the years he had been gone, he still looked the same, the blue eyes, the cutie mark, the spiked uncontrollable mane. It was him, and now they were back together, together again.
------------------------------
The next day Ditzy walked around town delivering mail, the day had been nice, sunny and nopony had bugged her, asking her about the Doctor, though Dash kept on trying to ask how he was in bed to which Ditzy always blushed and remained silent. Life was nice, simple, happy.
Ditzy stepped into Sugarcube Corner, "Mr. and Mrs. Cake?" She asked as she pulled out a letter.
"Oh right here dear." Mrs. Cake answered from behind a stack of treats.
Ditzy handed her the letter and smiled, "I don't suppose you have any muffins do you?"
"Of course Ditzy." Mr. Cake said walking out from the back room, "What kind?"
"Blueberry please." Ditzy said pulling out some bits.
When out of the store Ditzy ate her muffin happily and looked around, just then a voice came from behind her.
"We have to get out of here." The Doctor said popping up beside Ditzy.
"What?" Ditzy asked, "Why?"
"Look, something bad is going to happen, I know it, we have to leave." The Doctor said.
"Well what is it? How bad?" Ditzy asked throwing away the rest of her muffin.
"Something is out there, I know it is, I left for a reason, to protect you. You are not going to get hurt, nor is Dinky." The Doctor replied.
"But I, you, I just found you again! I don't want to lose you!" Ditzy said as tears formed in her eyes.
The Doctor turned and looked at Ditzy sadly, "Ditzy I love and care about you, I promise I wont get hurt, but you have to swear that you will leave."
Ditzy looked down as the Doctor put a hoof on her shoulder, "Please don't cry Ditzy." He said quietly.
"What about everypony else?" Ditzy asked looking back up.
"Whatever the thing is it's targeted on me, I'm not taking any chances by letting you keep near me, if you got hurt it would crush me." The Doctor said.
Ditzy sighed, the Doctor was right and she knew that, but why did she have to leave? She could help, somepony could take care of Dinky, "Okay." Ditzy whispered wiping tears from her eyes.
------------------------
Ditzy packed her and Dinky's bags silently, Dinky had asked where they were going to which Ditzy had replied, "Somewhere safe". Ditzy sighed as she zipped up her bag. She didn't want to go she wanted to stay in Ponyville, with the Doctor.
Ditzy looked in her closet for anything she could have missed. She spotted a medium sized box out of the corner of her eye. Ditzy walked over to the box and smiled sadly. The small box labeled "Doctor" was opened just a crack. Ditzy picked up the box and brought it to her bed.
She opened the box smiling at it's contents, the hourglass, pictures, drawings. She dug through the box pulling out items carefully until she reached the bottom, a long multicolored scarf sat at the bottom, Ditzy picked it up smiling.
--------------------------
"Mr. Doctor, why are you wearing that scarf?" The young Ditzy asked.
"Well little Ditzy, it was knitted for me by a friend, a witty little knitter named Madame Neighstradamus." The Doctor replied unwrapping the scarf from his neck.
"Does it keep you warm?" Ditzy asked smiling.
"Well yes it does, and now," He said wrapping it around Ditzy's neck, "it should keep you warm too."
---------------------------
Ditzy picked up the scarf and tied it around her neck.
"I don't care what the Doctor says, he isn't going to do this alone." She said to herself.
