When Time Stops for Her

by mageli7


Off course

Ditzy sat in her bedroom alone, Dinky was at her grandmother's house for the week. Ditzy sighed, the Doctor couldn't know about her staying, he would force her to go and she would never see him again, she wouldn't leave. She knew she could find a way to stay, whether it involved sneaking, or just coming out and saying she was staying, it didn't matter. She would help the Doctor whether he like it or not.

Just then there was a knock at the door and a small, "Hello?"

Ditzy panicked, it was the Doctor. He was making sure she had left, making sure he didn't have to make her leave. Ditzy looked around for someplace to hide and spotted her closet, she flew up to the top shelf and hid under a large, fuzzy blanket. The front door opened with a creak, the Doctor had walked in, why did she leave the door unlocked?

"Ditzy?" The Doctor called walking around, "Ditzy? Hello, you there?"

Ditzy became silent, her breathing barely heard, he couldn't find her, dear Celestia don't let him find her.

The Doctor walked into her room, looking around, "Ditzy?" He whispered. The Doctor walked over to the closet looking at it for a second before turning his back on it. Dizty breathed a small sigh as he left the room, she hadn't been caught, she was safe.

The Doctor walked back and threw open the closet door and ripped the blanket off Ditzy, "What are you still doing here?!" He hissed.

"I-I... You aren't going to do this alone! I'm coming with even if you don't want me to!" Ditzy said regaining her confidence.

"I told you it isn't safe!" The Doctor said turning his back on Ditzy.

"You know what, that's all I hear, "It isn't safe, you could get hurt." Everypony in this town treats me like I'm a dumb ass and it's all because of these stupid eyes! I get treated like a child even though some ponies in this town aren't fit to live by themselves!" Ditzy yelled.

The Doctor turned around and stared Ditzy in the eyes, "You aren't stupid, don't you ever dare say that about yourself. I have met many ponies in my lifetime, you are by far one of the smartest I have ever met, I trust you completely, but if something were to happen I couldn't live with myself!"

"Doctor, you have to let me come with, I know about all the dangers, you've told me before, all the creatures, the Daleks, the Weeping Angels, the Gelths! Just ket me help! Please, just please." Ditzy cried, "Remember the time you said to me, even if something is hard you have to live through it?"

"But..." The Doctor began.

'No more buts, I am coming with you and you are not going to do anything about it!" Ditzy said pointing at him.

"Well, I suppose we should get in the TARDIS then, my assistant." The Doctor said kissing Ditzy on the cheek.

-------------------------

Ditzy ran to the large willow tree crying, why was she different? The Doctor walked out from behind the tree.

"Ditzy, whats wrong?" He asked.

Ditzy didn't reply instead she ran into the Doctor's arms and sobbed louder.

The Doctor stiffened for a minute, unsure of what to do, before he gently stroked the crying mare's mane, "Ditzy, please tell me, what happened?

Ditzy sniffled and looked at the Doctor, "T-They all hate me, the way I look, act, feel, I want it to stop!" She cried.

"Nopony hates you Ditzy, everypony is different, look at me, I sit all day at this willow tree, I think about what's wrong with the world and try to fix it. Being different isn't bad, take this flower for example," The Doctor said pulling a small tulip from the ground, "Its yellow, yet the rest around here are red, is it bad to be yellow?"

"No." Ditzy said wiping tears from her eyes.

"Well lets say you're this yellow flower, and the rest are red, if you based this flower on it's ability to be red, the common pony would find it weird, odd even. But, if you base this flower on it's beauty and talents, you would find it is better then any red flower. Ditzy, you are not stupid, you are not weird, you are beautiful and are special, there is no word to describe you and there may never be, but that doesn't matter, be you, be different." The Doctor said smiling.

Ditzy smiled and picked up the flower sniffing it, "Thanks Doctor." She said giving him a hug.

The Doctor smiled and hugged Ditzy, he wished this moment could last forever.

-------------------------

"Doctor?" Said Ditzy, snapping him out of his daydream, "You okay?"

"Fine, I'm fine." The Doctor said walking around the inside of the TARDIS, figuring out the controls.

"Okay then, so exactly where are we going?" Ditzy asked sitting down.

"Well first we have to pick up some groceries..." The Doctor said jokingly.

"Seriously Doctor, where are we going?" Ditzy asked unable to not smile at his joke.

"Ok so, the creature, although we don't know exactly what it is, is somewhere in Ponyville, it's giving off a frequency that we can tap into and travel to the location of, so we just have to figure out what we're up against, though it could be anything." The Doctor said sighing.

"Well it can't be too bad, the worst we could come across are the Weepers." Ditzy said giving the Weeping Angels a small nickname.

The Doctor chuckled, Ditzy was right how bad could it be? He set up the TARDIS, as it began to start up Ditzy stood up shaking, "Could it be bad?" She asked.

"Nonsense, and if it is I will protect you." The Doctor said nuzzling her.

He went back over to the controls, "Ok we're nearly there in 3...2...1!" At the number one smoke began to leak from the control pad. The Doctors eyes widened, the TARDIS almost never broke down. What was wrong?

"Doctor! Why is it smoking?" Ditzy yelled panicking as the TARDIS began to shake.

"I don't know! We should have been at the location from the frequency!" The Doctor yelled running around looking for the problem.

"Just hit it and make it work!" Ditzy yelled as her eyes went in different directions.

"Hitting will break it that's not how machinery works!" The Doctor yelled.

Suddenly the TARDIS stopped and hit the ground outside, they were somewhere, but where?

"Should we look?" Ditzy said as she gulped.

"Yes, we have to see whats out there." The Doctor said opening the door. as steam poured out from the control panel.

The two waited for the smoke to clear and looked outside. There was a tree a willow tree along with tulips growing everywhere, a small filly sat reading a book.

"Is that? Me?" Ditzy asked looking at the filly.

"Oh dear." The Doctor said, they had traveled back in time.



AN: Thanks for reading and faving! I finally made the TARDIS do what it was built for, time traveling!
