	"So lemme get this straight.  You were teleported to a magical land, inhabited by ponies, who have wings, and are unicorns, and they live in houses, not stables, houses no less.  And now you brought one back with you, and you're in love with her?!?  Does anyone see how unbelievably insane you sound?!?"  Rory was quite upset about all of this.  Why couldn't he have been the one to go to a magic land and bring back a pony who turned out to be incrediably hot?  Amy must have known what he was thinking, and slapped him across the face.  Oh ya, because he was married.
"In a nutshell, yes.  And I do understand how you could be confused by all of this."  The Doctor found it difficult to make what he had said make sense.
"Well I think its crazy.  You need to take her back to where she came from."  It seemed like Rory was the only sensible one in the group.
"I think it's very romantic."  Amy seemed to be happy to sit and 'pet' Derpy as she slept curled in the fetal position.  After a few muffins, which Amy had put purple food coloring in, Derpy had promptly fallen asleep beside her and had not yet woken up.
"Of course I plan on taking her back, but I agreed to show her our world.  Our culture, our food, our lifestyle."  The Doctor had already prepared a schedual in his head.  First, Buckingham Palace, then-
Rory interupted his planning.  "Britian has a mostly meat diet, horses are herbivores.  She has such a short attention span, She wouldn't be able to focus on the history and significance of our culture.  We shoot things for fun, and if I were you, I wouldn't let her near any sort of firearm."  The Doctor saddened.  It was true.  She had experienced the muffins, which was the only thing she had really cared about.  It was time to return her to her home.  He couldn`t stay with her, he belonged here, on earth.  But he did love her, he realized that now.  He was faced with a tough decision, and he hoped he could make the right one.


Derpy and the Doctor waved to Rory and Amy, and stepped into the TARDIS.  They stepped out in their pony forms, and Derpy hugged the Doctor.  She flexed her wings and flew in a circle, only bumping into three clouds on the way.  She flew back down with a smile on her face, but when she saw his expression, her face turned grim and for once in her life, her eyes focused perfectly on the colt she loved.
``So you`re leaving.`` She said, scared and confused.  He smiled and shook his head.  She then understood.  He was sad because he was leaving his friends! He was leaving the only life he had ever known to be with her!  The ultimate sacrifice...  Derpy`s mind couldn`t quite comprehend the whole situation, but what she did know was that he was staying. `	WOOHOO!!` She yelled, as she picked him up and flew high into the sky.  They spun and dived, and she didn`t even crash into any clouds.  She spun him around and kissed him full on the muzzle.  He was shocked, then closed his eyes, smiled, and melted into the kiss.  Finally, everything was perfect...
