A Strange New World

The Secret

Fluttershy lay in her bed staring at the ceiling. It was strange how quickly time went in this world. It had been two weeks since she had ended up in this world yet it felt like two days. Jake wasn't telling her something and she was determined to find out what. There was a sudden knock on the door and Jake slowly walked in.

"Fluttershy... there's something I need to tell you." He sighed.

"What is it?" Fluttershy asked with a hint of worry in her voice. Jake sighed before speaking again.

"You're... from a cartoon." He said simply. Fluttershy stared at him.

"W-w-what?" She stammered. Jake just sat there. There was an awkward silence before Jake spoke again.

"I'm also... not... a human." He told her.

"What do you mean you're not a human!?" Fluttershy exclaimed in suprise.

"In Ponyville did you ever see a brown earth pony with an hourglass cutie mark?" Jake asked.

"Y-yes." Fluttershy replied slowly.

"Well. I'm him." Jake told her. Fluttershy looked at him like he was joking. She pretended to laugh.

"Is that some sort of joke?" She replied.

"No. Why would I joke about that?" He asked "Ok. This is what happened. I'm a... time traveller. I tried to get back to Earth, here, it worked. But... I ended up in the wrong body and the TARDIS almost exploded in the process." Fluttershy tried to comprehend what she had just been told.

"Wait." She said "If you're not a human. Then... what are you? Because when you first got to Ponyville your... 'TARDIS' had crashed. So you can't be a pony." Jake sighed.

"I'm... a timelord." He replied. Fluttershy looked confused. "An alien." He said. Fluttershy suddenly shyed away from him. Jake smiled. "If I was going to hurt you I would've done it by now." He laughed. Fluttershy relaxed at those words.

"W-w-what was you're planet like?" She asked.

(Descriptive dialouge stolen from Doctor Who incoming!)

"The sky was a burnt orange with the Citadel enclosed in a mighty glass dome, shining under the twin suns. Beyond that, the mountains go on forever - slopes of deep red grass capped with snow." He told her. Fluttershy smiled at how beautiful it sounded.

"Could you take me?" Fluttershy asked. Jake shook his head.

"Even if the TARDIS had recovered I wouldn't be able to." He explained.

"Why not?" Fluttershy replied.

"It's gone." Jake said "It was destroyed. A war. Two races fighting eachother. We lost. Everyone did."

"How did everyone lose?" Fluttershy asked.

"Me." Jake replied simply. Fluttershy's eyes widened. "I had to stop the war." Jake continued "The timelords had been changed. The war had changed them and I had to stop it. They're gone now. And I can't go back."

Authors Notes: What did you think of this chapter? I decided to change the layout. It would've just been a wall of words if I hadn't. I'm trying to make the story better with each chapter. Tell me what I can improve on and I'll try to do it.

Update: Story now On Hiatus while I finish my new fic...
