HOURS LATER

Dr. Clever groaned. "Where am I?" she asked. The room was white. She noticed some green curtains. "Oh! I'm in a hospital. My booties are still on my feet. Wait. Oh sh- Nope not gonna swear. I'm a kid. Golly- no that doesn't feel right on the tongue. Where was I going with this? Ah, yes. I'm not wearing my cloak which means they saw me which means the jig is up!" Her wings buzzed. She leaped out of bed. Well, tried to. She tripped on the blankets and fell on her face. "Okay. You know how to hover. So why are your wings acting up?" She tried again. Her wings buzzed as they moved at a too fast of a speed. But she gained no lift.
A dragon in a white coat entered the room. "Hello Clever. I see you're awake!" he said cheerfully. He looked at his clipboard, then looked up in shock. "Oh my Twilight you're awake. Wait here. I'll tell your family." The dragon ran out, leaving the door open.
"I- okay then. I'll just explore, I guess." she said. "Wonder why he's so excited." Dr. Clever looked in the hallway. "Boring whiteness with lots of doors. Only way to go is to follow him, I guess. God, I have such a headache." She reached up to her forehead, finding bandages. "Oh. That's why." She continued to walk through the hall.

Lunar ran down the hall. He bumped into a unicorn doctor. "What are you running around for? You're supposed to be checking on Clever."
"She's awake." Lunar replied.
"What!? But her injuries! She should be in a comma!"
"Yeah! And her injuries are mostly gone too!"
"Her wings?"
"Not sure. But I gotta tell her family! See ya!" Lunar ran off.
"Get back here, you nurse! Ugh. Guess I'll check on her. While I'm on break. Wait, is that her?" A filly ran past him. "She shouldn't be able to run!"

Tirek was shaken awake in the waiting room. He had been there with the others for the past two days. Chrysalis slapped him. "Wake up! She's awake!" Chrysalis hissed.
"Yessir, I am!" Tirek snapped to attention. Before him was Dr. Clever, all healed up. "Hiya!" Dr. Clever was quickly scooped up in a hug.
Tirek realized what he was doing and quickly set Dr. Clever down. "Don't ever do that again." he told her.
"I'll try!" Dr. Clever responded. Tirek smiled until he realized that answer held two meanings.
"I knew you were alright!" Cozy Glow said. "I felt nothing wrong."
Yamun walked up and gave Dr. Clever a hug. A dragon in a white coat burst into the waiting room. He saw the family. "Sorry, but I need to change her bandages."
"No need, doc! I'm alright!" Dr. Clever removed her bandages to prove there was no damage. And indeed, there weren't. "Can I leave?" she asked.
"I wouldn't advise that." A green changeling doctor said. "Look out the doors. You'll see what I mean."
Octavia looked out the hospital doors. An army of reporters instantly took several photos with blinding flashes of light. Octavia quickly ran back inside. "Okay. Lots of reporters, and a shield that seems to be blocking them but allowing people who actually need to hospital to come in. There's also a team of paramedics outside, I'm guessing in case a reporter hurts themselves to try to get in."
"Yamun would like to point out Dr. Clever still has glowing eye." Yamun said.
"That's also a problem we need to sort out. I'm Doctor Mint Leaf." the green changeling said. "I'm not sure why, but you have also developed an allergic reaction to gold. I believe this may be your inner magic reacting to the event that happened to you. I'm also surprised at how well you've heal. I will be blunt, that gold should have crushed even a full grown earth pony to death."
"Why are my booties still on?" Dr. Clever asked.
"We... couldn't remove them. They, along with your bowtie, seem to have fused with you." Mint Leaf said.
Dr. Clever's eyes widened with all the others in the room. She then looked confused. "Hold up. Override spell sequence: Death grip; with override code: The danger is past" Dr. Clever removed the booties. "Ha! That failsafe actually worked!" She did a little jig. She tried to disconnect the bowtie. It had fused with her nerves completely. "Oh no." She tried ripping off the sonic bowtie. It hurt like she was pulling on her skin. "Nonononono. Doctors, is there a room I could talk with my fam in private?"
"Nocreature's in the third break-room. You can use that." Mint Leaf suggested. "Meanwhile, I need to call the cops to get rid of these reporters.
"Kay, thanks!" Dr. Clever said. The group proceeded to head to the break-room. Dr. Clever sat on the break-room table so she could see everyone. She still wore the hospital gown.
"Okay. Where to begin? Ah, yes. Cozy Glow? Please don't hate me, but you can never have your body back."
"Wait WHAT!? Why not?" Cozy Glow asked harshly. To her surprise, Dr. Clever put her arms over her head, as if she was shielding it.
"Sorry!" Dr. Clever squeaked. "I can't because I regenerated! It's no longer pony DNA! It's Time Lord now.... Mixed with Cyberman. That also probably means gold is now forever my weakness."
Cozy Glow tilted her head. "I get your 'DNA' changed, but why your attitude? Isn't still the same body?"
Dr. Clever shook her head. "No. Every cell in me changed it's DNA. Last time that happened, I gained a different personality. But occasionally the real me showed through. So.. maybe I'll show some of your personality? I really don't know. Oh god. Time Lord and Cyberman. I'm another Hybrid! Ha. Haha. HAHAHAHAHA!" Dr. Clever started crying and laughing.
"Why... Why is she doing that? Why is she sad and happy?" Tirek asked, clearly confused.
Chrysalis whacked him on the back of the head. "You fool! Anycreature can clearly see she's acting out of shock and confusion!"
"I spent thousands of years tormenting others, and staying in prison. I'm not used to caring for someone and not knowing what to do." Tirek answered. "So what do we do?"
"Yamun suggest hug." Yamun climbed up onto the table. He hugged Dr. Clever. Soon, everycreature else was hugging her.
Mercy opened up his armor. "THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT." he said. He wiped a tear away from his eye.

TARDIS
*
The Doctor groaned. His wife kept bothering him about talking to Starswirl, who objected to the abuse of portals. "Well, sexy. Got any ideas?"
"I have an idea."
The Doctor whipped his head towards the other side of the console. There was an odd looking Cyberman head there. "Whoa whoa WHOA! What the hell are you doing in here!?"
"Irrelevant. Check your messages." the head said.
"Answer me! Who- no. What are you doing in here?" The Doctor said coldly.
"I am Handles. I am here to give you a message. To receive message: Check your messages." the head answered.
The Doctor kept his eye on the Cyberman head as he reached for the phone. "Play message."
"This is Ex-Agent Sweetie Drops of S.M.I.L.E. We have found a Dalek. It's grey with blue, rather then bronze. GET YOUR BUTT HERE NOW." The Doctor's eyes widened. "When was this sent!?"
"An estimate of: 4 months ago." Handles answered.
"And why are you here?"
"... Irrelevant."
"Tell me. Tell me NOW!"
"Irrelevant."
"Were we friends?" The Doctor asked. Was this a future friend, inside a head of steel?
"...The Time Lords went wrong. Something happened. Time has crashed. And you are wrong." Handles answered.
"What do you mean, I'm wrong?"
"Irrelevant. There is a Dalek of unknown origin. Initiating Sleep Mode."
"Really?"

MANEHATTEN HOSPITAL

Dr. Clever swung her legs over the waiting room table. The police were still struggling with the nosy reporters. "UGH! I wish we could get out of... here." She looked at a large silver cylinder nobody else noticed. "No. It can't be." She rushed over to it. Everyone watched her, confused. There was a note. "Merry Christmas. With comfort, Handles." she read.
"What is it?" Octavia asked.
"It's a freaking default TARDIS, that's what!" Dr. Clever said eagerly. "In other words, our way out! It's... well, I'll let you find out yourself." She opened the door. She backed up and ran inside.
Tirek knew to expect the inside to be bigger. He smiled as he entered. The others followed.
Mint Leaf was confused. There was no physical way all of them could have entered that... thing. She watched in shock as it started to phase.
Dr. Clever frowned. "Why... Oh! I forgot to turn on the brakes!" The hum of the Tardis soon started. She giggled.
"Hello again, Doctor. I'm pleased to see you again." a low voice rang out.
"House!? What? Actually, I probably shouldn't be surprised. Loads of impossible things have happened." Dr. Clever said. She pulled out the manual to the TARDIS. "Hmm... Rather then calling this the TARDIS, I should just call it the House."
Tirek looked around. Yamun was rooted to the floor. "Is bigger. Is bigger on in. Way bigger." he said.
Dr. Clever giggled. "That's actually kinda f- kinda cute. Excuse me." She turned towards the console. "Hi House! Ya not gonna try and kill us, are you?"
"Hm. As fun as the idea sounds, I would prefer you alive. In a sense, as pets." House answered. "Handles should be here. But I believe something has gone wrong."
"Handles is alive!? Let's go find him, God da- gosh darn it! Why do I keep on almost cussing and not cussing? Really? That. That is just weird for a regeneration."
Tirek moved out of the pants. "I presume we're moving?" he asked. The hum stopped with a thud. He looked out the door. "We're in Canterlot."
"Oh! That is almost perfect!" Octavia exclaimed. "We needed to be here for Vinyl's performance."
"Hm... This is like when I first began exploring the universe! I don't know any of the history here. This is so exciting!!!" Dr. Clever exclaimed. "Come on! Pull on your pants. Let's go!" Her wings buzzed in excitement.
Tirek watched. "I believe other than regenerating, there is more you wished to say."
Dr. Clever turned around nervously to face him. "W-what do you mean?"
"Cozy Glow, fly. Your wings should be fast enough know. The Doctor when regenerating gave up her ability to fly by making her wings be able to move too fast for actual lift. That allowed one last sync, so your wings can now fly fast enough for lift." Tirek said. He pulled back on the trousers. "And by the way, the Physic paper said my name was Lord Tirek of the Time Lord house. So our last name shall be Time Lord."
"You sir, are blunt and strait to the point. Now lets add a swimming pool and whatnot to the House. We'll head out tomorrow. Hey House! We got food, yeah?" Dr. Clever said.
"Yes, we do. You can add all those extra rooms you had in the TARDIS. They were quite pleasant."
"Yay! Let's go eat some food now." Dr. Clever said. They all proceeded to head to the kitchens of House.
House hummed to himself. "This shall be interesting."
