Chapter 15


I was laughing so hard that Celestia took a step back in surprise.

"You can't be serious! The Doctor? Here? As a pony?" I can't stop laughing! The only two tv shows I ever really watched? My Little Pony and Doctor Who! 

"That's just amazing! The Doctor!" My laughter sputters out.

"You know of him then? Good. He should meet you when you get back to Ponyville."

Alright then.

* * *

"So! Twilight! Have you met the Doctor?"

"Well, yes. Two times. He's been very helpful."

"Helpful? Without him, there wouldn't be anything! An exaggeration, of course, but he keeps the universe together! I'm going to be working with him."

* * *

The ride back to Ponyville was uneventful. We got back around 2:00, so I still had time to look around before meeting the Doctor at 4:00. I walked through the town market, and as I did I noticed much warmer smiles toward me. I see Twilight again at a book store (surprise) and asked her about it. 

"While you talked to the princesses, I sent a letter to spike telling him to warn everypony that you might be staying here for a while. They know you mean no harm."

Ahh. That was kind of her. I thanked her and decided to go check out Sweet Apple Acres. 

Once again, the show was right. Sweet Apple Acres was beautiful. It was so peaceful! It sounded peaceful, too. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the sounds. I started to see an image in my head. No, blobs of color. Green. Dark green. Hmmm. 

"Howdy there, uh, Quinn, was it? I'm Applejack!"

My eyes shot open. "Oh. Hi Applejack! I was hoping I would meet you! I have some questions."

"Alrighty then. Fire away!"

"First of all," I said, sort of kneeling to be at the same level as her. "do I scare ponies? Am I scary?"

"Well, the truth is that when you first fell outta the skies, I was pretty dang scared. But now that we all know that you ain't gonna hurt us, I'm much more curious then scared. Why d'you ask?"

"Because I don't want to scare anypony! Thank you, Applejack. I'll see you later!"

"See ya'!"

* * * 

It's 3:25. I should head back. The Doctor should meet me behind the town hall. As I walk back, I hear a WHOOSH, and the next thing I know, Rainbow Dash is right there, flying along beside me. 

"Hey, Quinn, isn't it? I'm the amazing, one of a kind-"

I cut her off, totally ready for this moment. "I thought it was 'the amazing and astounding Rainbow Dash'."

Her wings stopped for the slightest moment. I prevented the inevitable face-plant by catching her. "Thanks. How did you know that I -"

"Like to be awesome? Yeah, you are pretty awesome. The one and only sonic rainboomer..."

"I did one of those once, but only as a filly. How did you know?"

Ok, stop. So I'm before the 'sonic rainboom' episode? What? So, if my brony mind is working, we're still in season one??? And ' A Canterlot Wedding' a month away??? Then I met Shining way before...ohhhhhh. Very interesting! They have yet to meet Discord! Oh, have I said too much?

"Oh, I heard about it from another someone. I knew it had to be you."

"Wow. I didn't know I was famous in another species...."
Rainbow, you have no idea...

I made it to the town hall right on time. I was leaning on the back of the building when the classic 'scrwoooom-scrwoooom!' sound started. The TARDIS faded into view. It ended with a 'thoooom!' and the door opened. 

"Well fancy that! You are a human!"
