//------------------------------// // A Study In Pink // Story: Pet-rified // by Rocktavius Dashylight //------------------------------// "What the hay?!" Applejack was confused at the sight of the TARDIS. "A blue box. Now you're scaring me" "It's bigger on the inside." "Where are we going anyway?" Tex inquired. "To the TARDIS" "I meant in the TARDIS, where are we going?" "No clue. Wherever these readings take us to." "You act as if this box can move. What is wrong with you?" AJ confronted. "WEll, I can't begin to count the number of things wrong with me. WEll, unless you think craziness is wrong. WEll, it truly depends on how you look at it. WEll, just forget it. That blue box CAN move by the way. So, Allons-y!" They stepped in the TARDIS. "Impossible!" "Toldja" He plugged his sonic screwdriver into the TARDIS and looked to the screen. He pushed buttons, pulled levers, and off they went. __________________________________ Pinkie jumped when the white...thing...touched her. She looked around. Where was she? The ticking was unbearable. She covered her ears as she saw another pony casually walking away. She wanted to call him, but she was too scared to form words. Scared...no...frightened. Her body shook violently as she layed on the ground. No, you're a big girl. Get up, and find out where you are. But what's the weird metal. And who was that creepy pony. Don't worry about that yet. Just get up! She slowly stood up on wobbly legs. That's a good girl. She started walking toward the opposite way the other pony was, when the floor below her suddenly shot upward. She was luckily fully on the circle that raised her. Pinkie stood back up on the new floor she just found herself on. Her pupils shrunk as she found herself looking at the giant clock. It was clear, like a window. And outside was a moon sized planet. The planet recognized as Equestria. She was in space! Pinkie Pie collapsed again, making a big thump. How will she ever see her friends again? "Intruder!" The alarms went off. Oh no! They found her! Her adrenaline ran through her body as she jumped up and dashed away. She curled up in a ball in the shadows. Help me. Oh dear Celestia help me. She whimpered. Three of the strange ponies ran by. She just then noticed something wrong with their left eye. They were...like clocks. But...they were different. Pinkie slowly slinked behind them, wanting to see where they were going. They seemed like they were-- A hoof appeared on her shoulder, but before she could scream, another hoof covered her mouth. "What are YOU doing here?" a voice whispered. She started to cry. She's a goner for sure. "Pinkie... I'm a friend" Pinks turned to look at the face of the brown pony. "Come on, follow us." Us? She turned to look at Applejack. Thank goodness! "Hi again" Tex waved. Tex! She would hug him if it was a different situation. Tex's voice carried through the metal ship, alerting some nearby ponies. Two of them started coming their way, but the Doctor yanked out his sonic and aimed it at the ponies' head. "I sure hope this works..." He grumbled as the screwdriver whirred once more. The two collapsed where they were, twitching from an apparent short circuit or something. "WELL! Fancy that! That actually worked!" "What in tarnation is that thing?" Applejack asked, apparently not caring to keep her voice down. "No idea. I think I'll call it a...hmm..." He sits there and contemplates for a bit. "Oh! A cyborgian! How do you like that name?" Pinkie started talking under her "gag". "Mrmm mm mmm" The Doctor released. "Look! I found a thing!" She pointed to a flag that was hanging behind them. It had a huge symbol similar to that of the Jolly Roger, but there was something very different. One of the eyes was actually a timepiece, probably a watch of some sort. Above this symbol had the words "Pendulum Pirates" "Well, Pendulum Pirates is a better name than a Cyborgian" Tex stated "HEY! It took me a long time to fabricate what I believe is the most brilliant name in the universe!" The Doctor said, rather offended. "What," AJ laughed, "All of ten seconds" "Shutup" A door slammed shut somewhere and the gang got quiet. The Doctor began to whisper "We need to figure out what exactly is going on here. Who knows who else they kidnapped....or what else..." As if on cue, the intercom came on again. "Pirate #134 and #652 please come down to the chambers. Bring your Prisoner Control Batons." "Oh nellie... I shouldn't have come here." AJ said quietly. "Well I didn't ask you to" The Doctor said. "Wait...actually i did...kinda sorta." Pinkie hopped on the Doctor's back. "Hey. Where'd Tex go?"
