Epilogue

Applejack raised her mug of cider as she ended her toast to The Doctor, her long blonde mane swayed as she shook her head at the sight of Pinkie Pie chugging down another three helpings of her family’s home brew. The farm pony’s eyes drifted across the room, taking in the sight of all her friends before stopping on the barn door. Exiting the giant room was the brown colt she had just finished toasting, and Applejack wasn’t going to stand for her guest leaving without so much as a good bye. She galloped after him, passing the time colt and skidding to a stop right in his path. “Where do ya think you’re goin’?”
“Well... I was just heading home, it’s a bit late.” The Doctor explained, smiling a bit too nonchalantly for AJ’s taste.
“Ah huh,” Applejack said,” and after you try to lie to the Bearer of the Element of Honesty, what exactly where ya’ll goin’ to do at home?”
The Doctor sighed, knowing it was a bad idea to try to lie to any of Twilight’s friends. “I was... Going to leave... For good.”
The orange mare stood her ground, her eyes softening as she smiled. “Doc, I gotta tell you something. Ever since you came here, Apple Bloom’s been tryin’ ta get her Cutie Mark more and more. You wana know why?”
The time pony paused, “Because... She wants it now?”
Applejack laughed, then shook her head. “No, she wants to be seen as more mature. She wants to be seen as more of an adult, and she wants that because you treat her like she’s already got it. Sure, me and Big Mac try to give her more responsibility, but she’s our baby sister... It’s hard to see her as anything but that.” AJ took a few steps towards the barn, “I thought you might like ta know that before you head off to your other world.” Then, the cowpony stepped back into the party, laughing as Pinkie began a bright, cheery song about some holiday she’d never heard of. Her thoughts were still on The Doctor, until she noticed one of her guests seemed to be missing. A guest that most ponies would never miss at a party like this.

The cloaked pony bowed before the shadow covered thrown, the destroyed, former fortress of Nightmare Moon seemed to crumble more and more as she waited for her master to speak. Her eyes gazed up at the creature sitting in the large chair, its hooves clicking on the arm of it. “Once again,” she began, “I apologize my king. You were right to warn me of the time colt being brilliant, and I was stupid enough to think I had won. I throw myself at your mercy, my master.”
The figure in the throne looked over his servant, a strong creature with uncanny beauty. It couldn’t help but laugh coldly at her attempts to appease him. “You truly are pathetic, little mare. You think I didn’t account for you being too thick skulled to heed my orders, or that I wouldn’t have a secondary plan? How naive...” The creature looked over at the large doorway to his right, just as General Stormbreaker marched in. “Good, my other puppet is here too. Is the Rani in our custody?”
“Yes, my master.” the general said with a bow.
“Brilliant. All we have to do now is wait and watch...”

As The Doctor walked into his beautiful blue box, he smiled at the warmth of the control panel. “Hello sexy, did you miss me?”
“Doctor?” a voice from inside the TARDIS said, quietly.
“Well,” the time colt said, a little bit of confusion in his eyes, “I didn’t know I programmed a voice applicator... Sounds a bit like...”
“Doctor,” Derpy said, stepping out of the hallway, “where you talking to yourself?”
“... Maybe.” The Doctor replied.
Derpy couldn’t help but blush as she walked toward her friend, her head laying across the back of his neck in a hug. “I... I missed you.”
“Derpy...” The Doctor smiled, blushing with her before backing away, “Wh... Where’s Dinky?”
“She’s at her father’s in Canterlot for the weekend.” she replied, but before The Doctor could ask why the grey mailmare never told him she was married, the pegasus kissed him on the cheek lightly, “I gotta get going, bye.” The brown colt stood there, his eyes on the control panel as he waited for the shock to blow off... Then Derpy peeked back into the TARDIS, “River send a message saying hello by the way.”
“Ah, that explains it.” the colt replied as Derpy giggled. Once he was sure she was gone, The Doctor stepped up the one of his monitors and gasped. “She... She’s at full power... She’s at full power!!!” The time colt began to dance with joy, his smile threatening to break his cheek bones, and as he reached for the handle that would activate the quantum flux-drive... He stopped. The Doctor looked back at the door of the TARDIS, smiling as he remembered that past few months. His hoof left the lever on the console as he sighed, “Maybe just a little longer...”
