We begin with hearing that wonderful Tardis noise. The Tardis lands in Equestria in 1832, in a small town in the middle of the day. The Doctor opens the door and takes a breath of fresh air. “Ah! 1832 in Equestria! It’s just like the eighteen hundreds from my earth, but this time with ponies!” Derpy then walks next to the Doctor and says “earth doesn’t sound too different than Equestria. I mean, I know it has a lot more technology than we do, but there surly are a lot of similarities!” “There sure is. Well come on then! Let’s go check this place out!” said the Doctor. They both walked out of the tardis into the town. Ponykind wasn’t too different from human kind, so the town looked like most small cities in the 1800s, with similar architecture and buildings.

As the Doctor and Derpy were walking, the Doctor said “you know, the only big difference between this eighteen hundreds and earth’s is that during this time in my world, they already were starting to have steam powered technology, locomotives, steam boats, and also other inventions like motion pictures and even light bulbs, but it seems like Euquestria doesn’t figure that stuff out until around your present time.” “I guess that’s true” said Derpy. Then the Doctor said “but then again, you also do have some technology that is far more advanced than steam powered engines, like arcade games, which I find to be very strange.” Derpy thought for a moment “hmm. I guess that is strange.”

The two ponies were walking by a tavern. “Hey!” said Derpy. “Why don’t we go in there? Nothing says eighteen hundreds like an old timey tavern!...I think” “Sure! Why not? Allons-y!" The Doctor said. The Doctor and Derpy walk into the tavern. It’s moderately crowded, but not by much.

There was a pony at the bar wanting another drink, but the bar tender was refusing to give him more “You already had four cups of beer within the past hour! I cannot give you another one!” The pony begged him any way “pleeeeease! Just oooone moooooore!” The bar tender shrugged “you’re clearly drunk, and you must be taken outside. Jim! Mack! Come and take out this drunken pony!” Before two of the employees were able to take him outside, the pony said “I saw…the stallion again!” The bartender looks annoyed “That’s just a pony’s tale that your daughter made up! Stop believing in foal’s stories! Get him out of here!” Jim and Mack then began to drag the drunken pony through the tavern to go outside. They dragged the pony past the Doctor and Derpy, who were staring at the drunken pony, seeing everything that has happened, and the pony looked up at the Doctor and said "help me", then the employees dragged him out of the tavern.

The Doctor and Derpy having watched all of this happen before their eyes, made the Doctor concerned. He went up to the bartender and asked “what was that pony saying about ‘the stallion’ he saw again?” The bartender shrugged and almost laughed “you won’t want to here it.” “Well I think I do” said the Doctor. “It’s just a foal’s tale!” “Try me!” The two of them stared at each other for a moment, but then the bartender said “fine. If you want to know about a silly children’s story, then I’ll tell you. You see, that pony you saw, Gregg, has a kid, who claims that she keeps seeing a stallion sitting on a bench in the woods, on top of a hill. But every time she gets close to the bench, there is nopony there. Gregg claims he saw it too, but he’s probably just saying that to not make his daughter look like a fool.” The Doctor then asked “where exactly is this bench where the stallion is?” “Right outside Greg’s house I think.” The Doctor then said “Thank you for your help” then he and Derpy started to walk away.

The bartender looked confused and said “you don’t actually believe him, do you?” The Doctor turned around and walked back to the bar and said “I have done a lot of traveling in my time, and I’ve learned that not everything is what it seems”. The Doctor and Derpy then walked outside. “Well, now let’s find Greg! Who is probably still drunk…” said the Doctor. “Do you think this filly’s story could actually be true?” said Derpy. The Doctor then replied “well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there? Oh! There he is!" Said the Doctor, looking at the Greg, still drunk. "Hello. I'm the Doctor. And this is my dear friend Derpy. We're here to help you."

Greg was an earth pony with red fur, a dark brown mane, with an old ragged brown coat and a newsboy hat. Greg looked up at the Doctor and said "You can't help me. Nopony can..." The Doctor then insisted "listen to me. That stallion you were talking about, the one on the hill on the bench. Where is it?" Greg looked surprised "You- you know about the stallion? How do you know about the stallion? Are you here to help my daughter!" Greg began to get too excited and loud, so Derpy tried to calm things down by saying "yes we are, but right now we need to take you home. Now where is home from here?" Greg then tried to point to his house, although his aim wasn't perfect being still drunk. "It's over there, by the hill" Greg said. It was a small little white house with a dark gray tiled roof. It wasn't too big, but big enough for a small family.

Derpy and the Doctor took Greg to his home, where they saw his daughter, a pegasus pony who was only a filly no older than Scootaloo, and she was playing outside her house. She had white fur and a light blue mane with a bit of green highlights. She didn't even have her cutie mark yet. She saw her father walking home and exclaimed "daddy!" the second she first saw him. But then she noticed that he was walking slowly, and was probably drunk again as he needed help from two strangers. She then started to loose her excitement, but was still glad that he was home.

The Doctor and Derpy walked up to her "Hello. I am the Doctor, and this is my friend Derpy. We are here to help your father." "You are a doctor? Are you here to make my daddy better?" asked the filly. "Well, I'm not that kind of Doctor, technically." Derpy jumped in "we heard that you keep seeing a pony up on the hill on a bench. But when you go up there, nopony is there, right?" "That's right" said the filly. Derpy then said "if what you are saying is true, we can help you. You see, the Doctor, he helps ponies." Then the Doctor interrupted "yes, but right now we need to help your father. Can you take us to his room?" Greg was almost passed out by now by being drunk for so long.

They took Greg up to his room and put him on his bed. "I'm sorry, what was your name miss?" Asked the Doctor. "Vapor Skies. My name is Vapor Skies." The Doctor looked glad to meet her "pleased to meet you Vapor Skies. Now, how about we go and see the stallion on the hill...shall we?"
