//------------------------------// // Complications // Story: Dinky Who // by Saro0fdemonz //------------------------------// "What in the hay is an Angel?" Hayseed asked as they sat in a corner, Dinky keeping her eyes open and scanning the room. "They are creatures that technically don't exist. Not until you look at them anyway. They are called 'The Weeping Angels'. They are extremely dangerous when unseen." "Ya'll said we weren't gonna do nothin dangerous!" Penny screamed. "I didn't think we would be! The Angels shouldn't even have been in the void to begin with. None of this makes any sense!" "Dinky, jus' calm down. Ya'll need t' think and figure this out." "Y...Your right." She took a slow relaxing breath and looked around. "Alright, its obvious that there is at least one angel outside right now. It can't be strong enough alone to have drained the TARDIS so quickly, there must be more, several, at least four" the unicorn rambled on as she paced, an idea popping into her head. "Aha! If they are all holding the TARDIS in place then they've doomed themselves. Hayseed get over there and be ready to pull that big lever, it'll take all of your weight to pull it down. Penny, when I give the word I want you to open the door and whatever you do, DO. NOT. BLINK. Do you understand?" She said, gazing into the mentioned ponies eyes. Penny nodded. "uh..y..yea. I won't blink." "No you don't understand. If you blink then its all over Penny, you won't get back in time for dinner and we won't get out of here." "Got it, no blinkin'" Penny took her place at the door, preparing herself for whatever lay behind it. Dinky meanwhile zipped around the console. "C'mon, just need a Spark, just one Spark...wait a minute..." she bit her lip and smacked the screwdriver against her horn, gasping in pain as a few magic sparks flew from it, landing on the console and filling it with life. "NOW! Pull the lever! Penny, Open the door!" Both ponies already in position did as ordered, Penny glaring at the statue in front of her, her body shaking as fear set in. "Dinky! What the hay is this creepy thing!?" she screamed, keeping her eyes on it. "Just keep looking at it! Do not blink!" Dinky called back. "Hayseed keep that lever held down!" the pony nodded, holding down the lever with all of her strength as Dinky twisted knobs and pulled levers. "Here we go!" She yelled, slamming her hoof down on a big red button. Penny watched as the Angel vanished from view and blinked in surprise, screaming as an Angel appeared in front of her, arms outstretched and almost wrapped around her. "Penny! Don't blink!" Dinky screamed "Ah'm sorry! Ah won't blink again! Ah swear! j..jus' get it away!" she screamed, taking a step back. "Don't let it touch you! I don't know what will happen if it touches you inside the TARDIS. Hayseed, lift up on the lever just slightly, Penny, when I tell you to, Blink." "WHAT!? Ya told me not t' blink!" "Its the only way to get rid of the Angel! do you trust me?" "a..Ah trust ya!" "Alright..1...2...3...BLINK!" Penny braced herself and blinked, screaming as the TARDIS shook and spun for what seemed an eternity. Finally the ponies found themselves on their sides, light shining through the door of the TARDIS. Dinky was the first on her hooves, sighing in relief. She laughed and pulled Penny into a hug, kissing her forehead. "Oh you did wonderfully! Alright now, lets get back to that vacation!" "Dinky, ah really think we should jus' go back home." Hayseed said as she dizzily pushed to her hooves. "Oh come on, thats no fun. We've only just started!" She stood in front of the shaken mare, scanning her with the Sonic Screwdriver for a moment, doing the same with Penny. "Hm, everything looks good, nopony looked into the Angels eyes right?" they shook their heads and Dinky smiled. "Good! Good, well lets get going shall we?" "Dinky, what happened to that...thing?" Penny asked, having yet to blink again since being given the command to. "Its stuck staring at a reflection of itself on a parallel Dimension generated by our sudden shift or rather a mirror reflection. It was only for a split second, but thats all we needed. You see Penny, Anything that takes the image of an Angel is an Angel." "Ah don't get it..." Hayseed mumbled. Dinky simply shrugged and closed the door to the TARDIS, looking over the console "Alright then, lets see if we can find that perfect vacation spot." the Twins blinked and looked at each other for a moment before sighing and giving a nod. There was no arguing with the unicorn. Dinky smiled and pulled the lever, holding it down for a moment before finally lifting it. She pushed the doors of the TARDIS open and blinked. "H...Huh?! Piper?!" "WHAT?!" The twins exclaimed. They all stood in the opening of the TARDIS, staring at the cloaked pony. He gave them a small smile before running off into the trees. "Was that...Piper?!" Hayseed asked. "Y...Yes...it was..." "But he's dead! We saw him leave with Harmony! How can he be here?! wait...where is here anyway?" Penny spoke up, stepping outside the TARDIS. "Oh boy...this is not a vacation Spot...this is the War of Nightmare..." sorry for another extremely short chapter but i've been extremely short on time and just now thought up the ending of this chapter...thanks to a friend and some epic music. Please keep in mind that this story takes place before 'Pipers Tale' and I hope you enjoy it!
