Anyway, enough of me, back to the reason you're all here... Dcotor Who. Intro music. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spke felt groggy, he must have really banged his head when AppleJack bucked Rarity into him. Rarity! Despite his light headedness Spike was still able to fret over the Unicorn he loved so deeply. I hope she's okay, I mean My scales are tough and all but that shouldn't have hurt her.. should it?" Wondered Spike, only to be suprised when he heard then end of his though echo around him. Shocked, Spike's lizard eyes shot open to reveal; nothing, just a pitch black, soul crushing darkness that seemed to consume the area around him. Spike tried to shoot a stream of flame, but to his horror found that he couldn't, not a even an ember. Panicking now Spike put his hands to his Snout in shook, only for them to hit thin air, Spike tried feeling for his other appendages but to no avail. He was trapped in a void, with no body and no hope and thus did the only thing that a baby dragon could do, he broke down weeping, only to find that he couldn't even do that. After a few forlorn moments Spike began to hear familar noises echo through the surronding void, the sound of an object been covered with hay and the sound of a pair of woodern wheels slowely creak along a marble floor. Despite the oddness of the situation at hand the creaking rhythm of the aged wheels had a calming effect on Spike, almost as if he had been here before andeverything had turned out right in the end. And so, under the calm influence of the faintly remebered sounds, Spike drifted into the land of nod, dreaming about a certian cream coloured unicorn in a certian white dress. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dinky was bored, normaly a picnic with her mama was fun and made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside and so had this one; untill some meany wennies had started calling her mama names and made her all saddy waddy. And when her mama was saddy she was saddy, she had tried to cheer her up but it didn't work, sure mama had smiled but Dinky knew that she was putting it on. She had been thinking of a way to cheer her up when she had been left at the Zebra lady's house. Well she thought it was a house, but it was made of sticks and twigs, alot like the houses that the bevers built, but there was no water so she knew it couldn't be a dam, so it was definitely a house, a small, flimsy house but a house non the less. Dinky had been confused why mamma had come here but when she said that she was only to be gone a few minutes becasue she was going to look at the flying box she had seen, Dinky had felt unwanted; why couldn't she help mama?, they always did things together. But these thoughts were blown away when she had seen how happy mama had been when she had told her she loved her, how could she ever stay mad at such a wonderful mama? When mama had gone, miss zebra lady had asked Dinky if she wanted to help make some potions and she had jumped at the idea, maybe she could make a muffin making potion to save mama all that work. Unfortunately it turned out there was no such potion, though that didn't stop her trying but after the 3rd expolsion she decieded that she didn't really like potions that much and so went up to the nearest window and started a vigilance, waiting for mama to come back. Luckily, Celestia must have been looking out for Ditzy; for not only did she return safe from the horrors of the Evergreen, she had found a friend and was smiling. Seeing her mama happy lightened the Fillies mood and she bounced out of the hut behind Zecora, eager to see who his mystery stallion was. Before she got the chance to ask him any questions (mainly, 'thanx yous for making mama happy.'), the stranger had downed a potion and fallern to the floor. Dinky rushed over, hoping the stranger was ok. But her fears were put to rest when miss Zebra told them that he was fine. Dinky was happy ot hear this, she didn't want this stranger to be poorly. As Dinky had turned away to hug her mama she had heard the stallion menton something about a jelly fruit, she didn't know what that was but it sounded delicious. All that had happened half an hour ago, and yet the stranger still hadn't woken up, despite Dinkys best efforts and now hse was getting bored, mama was talking with miss Zecora about the posions joke and there was no-one hear for Dinky to talk to. She sighed, before decieding to try to awaken the stranger again. Dinky slowely troted next to where he was sleeping and poked him on the nose with her hoove. No response. Dinky tried again and his time it seemed to have worked, for the stranger started to shift, sadly not into awakeness, but on to his back, muttering something about losing some flowers, roses or something. Dinky sighed again and was about to go and find somewhere to sleep and a metalic glint caught her eye, a shiny metal stick had fallen out of the strangers mane and onto the floor. Approaching inquisitively, Dinky carefuly picked up the metal cylinder with her for-hoove. It's surface was cool to touch but not cold, and seemed to radiate some type of energy, that Dinky could feel through her horn. Her interest peaked at this piont as she couldn't normaly use or even feel magic, so been able to feel something boosted her spirts dramatically. Dinky carefully lifted the device up to eye level and studyed it in great detail, noticing every bum, curve and dint that it contained, admiring the strange shape the end seemed to from, resembling a claw of somekind. As Dinky tilted it to one side to get a better look, she felt the end move a tiny amount, sliding towards the ground below. This gave her an idea, holding the rear of the device firmly she thrust her hoove forward, causing the end to slideout, light up and send off a high pitched sqeak, like a mouse in a trap. The unexpected noise caught Dinky by suprise and she brought her frontal hooves to her ears in an attempt to block out the noise, in the process of doing so, she let go of the device, causing it to fall to the ground and return to it's previous compact state. Dinky didn't notice as she had covered her ears and shut her eyes, trying desperately to block out the now none-existent sound. After a few moments Dinky dared to open her eyes and noticed that the strange device had fallen to the fall and the tip was no longer glowing. After a few seconds of internal debating Dinky decided to risk uncovering her ears and to her relief the sound was gone. Dinky made a mental note not to do that again, and noticed something that had escaped her before, she could use it as a drawning stick in the mud outside Zecora's house. Quickly checking that the devices owner was still asleep, Dinky picked the metalic contraption up with her teeth and trooted outside, her mind already filled with thoughts of what she could draw, before finaly settling upon the idea of drawning a picture to cheer mama up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Doctor had been having the weirdist of dreams, he had relived all 10 of his past lifes;ancient and buried memories flashing by like they had occured only yesterday, rushing though his head, every emotion, every feeling lasting only a few seconds but lingering from memory to memory, mixing togethor into a soup of tears with a flavouring of joy. The Doctor awoke to see a blonde haired individual standing over him. "Rose?" The Doctor asked weakly. "Rose, whose that?" Asked a confused Ditzy. "I'm Ditzy Doo, don't you remember?" "Oh, Ditzy, it makes sense now." The Doctors recent thoughts caught up with him."You're that fflying pony, right?" "Yep, and it's Pegasus." "Sorry, my mistake, you know how it is, you get old enough and everything just gets mushed up as one." This purplexed Ditzy"But your not that old, you onil look 21. "21, I havn't been 21 in aeons." Replied the Doctor while stifferling a chuckle. "If you say so, by the way you haven't seen Dinky anywhere have you?" "Who?" Ditzy began to explain who Dinky was, using here foreleg to indictate her size."My daughter, about yay high, unicorn." The Doctor rose to all fours and cracked his back. "Nope, haven't seen anyone in ages, been out stone cold. Wait did you say Unicorn, as in an actual real life Unicorn? you have got to be joking." "Ermm, no. Are you from somekind of backwater somewhere, how could you have not heard of Unicorns, there everywhere," This new revelation took hold of the Doctors rational mind and injected it with several tonnes of suger. "Real life unicorns, that use Magic? I haven't seen magic since Rassilion banned it and destroyed all races that could use it." The Doctor bounced around the room while explaining this. "This is amazing, I have got see this for myself, where is the little kid? "Well thats what I was asking you."Ditzy groaned. "You really lost trck of things easily, Doctor... what?" "Doctor, just the Doctor. So she's missing." "Well not miss-" Ditzy was cut off by the Doctor's rude interruption. "Well this will not do, she must be found and if my amazing Timelord senses are correct then she is..." The Doctor raised his hoof to the sky and pionted in front of himself "Outside the door." The Doctor then proceeded to open the said door to reveal a cheerfull Dinky Doo drawning a picture in the mud. "Muffin!" Squeled Ditzy with joy as she rushed out and scooped Dinky up. "Why didn't you tell me where you were going, I was worried." "Sorry mama, do you forgive me?" Dinky Stared up with her diabetes inducing eyes. "I was just trying to draw you a picture." Ditzy hugged Dinky with all her might, a singal tear rolling down her face."I could never stay mad at you, your my special little muffin." The Doctor watched this heart warming display of motherly love and couldn't help but chuckle, over 900 years and still the universe was finding new sights to brighten his day. As the Doctor was admiring them, his eye was caught by the glimmer of light off a metalic object. He trotted over to investigate and discovered that the object in question was in-fact his sonic screwdriver, covered in mud and drool but still his trusty srewdriver. The Doctor didn't know what had happened to his precious gadget and had just turned around to ask Dinky if she knew what had happened when he noticed something odd, they were gone. The Doctor looked around in panic, wondering what could have happened when he saw Ditzy cowering on the side of the dirt path, with Dinky at her side. Before he could ask what had happened the Doctor was hit in the flank by a mass of brightly coloured flailing limbs that collapsed in a pile next to him to reveal 3 fillys covered in sticky toffee. "What, what... what?" The Doctor fumbled to his feet. "But... how.. what?" Before he could make sense of what had just occured the Doctor heard a faint chuckling come from inside the hut. "Oh, Apple Bloom, come to see me again so soon?" Chuckled Zecora as she walked out of her hut to the sight in front of her. "Sorry, Zecor', it's just that there was this big boom-" Apple Bloom started to explain before been interrupted by Scootaloo. "Nah-ha, it wasn't a boom it was a blast, with explosions and bright lights, it was Awsome!" "No it wasn't it was awfull." Added Sweetie Bell. The Doctors interest was piqued by the mention of booms and explosions, from what he had seen so far this didn't look like a world full of insane creatures that blew each other up, unlike some planets that he had been to recently. "What do you mean explosions?" "Well we were down at sugercube corner make sweets-". Apple Bloom began before been interrupted by Sweetie Belle. "No, we were making cakes." Apple Bloom sighed. "Does it really matter?, Anyhow, we were baking with Pinkie when she rushed out of the store and then a few minutes later there was big flash of light and when we came outside to investigate all the air near Twi's was all shiny, so we came here to ask for yall's help." Zecora opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by the Doctor. "Wait did you say shiny, as in wibbly wobbly shiny?" "Why, sure." "I see, Zecora can you watch this kids, I've got to investigate this." "We, we've got to investigate this." Ditzy added. "Bu-" "No- buts, I'm not letting you run off like that unsupervised." Ditzy insisted. The Doctor sighed, "Fine, but you have to leave her here." The Doctor stated whilst pionting at Dinky." Dizty looked down at Dinky. "Will you be ok for a bit longer?" "Of course mama." Replied Dinky while giving her mama a hug. "Well, okay then." Ditzy placed Dinky on the ground. "Good, no time to waste, now to ponyville! And I have no idea where that is." Dizty pionted north-west. "Okay, Geronimo." Shouted the Doctor as he galloped off. "Wait for me." Cried Ditzy as she speed off after him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thats all for now. Bye.
