Doctor Whooves: Episode 10
The Magician and the Angels
Prologue
Carrot Hill, The Emerald Plain, Northern Regions, Epripa, Spring, 343 P.C.E.
The Doctor sat on top of the hill and overlooked the wide, green plain before him. A colony of rabbits had come to rest at the foot of the hill. Fluttershy stood before them. She was giving an equal serving of carrots to each rabbit.
"Now remember to share from now on. Okay?" Fluttershy said with a smile. The rabbits nodded before taking off towards the horizon. The yellow pegasus turned back to the Doctor and flew up to him. "Thank you for bringing me here, Doctor."
"Well, from what I've heard about your love for animals, I guessed that this place would practically be a dream come true for you," the Doctor replied.
"Oh it is! There's so many rabbits here! Maybe I should bring Angel Bunny here someday!"
"Hard to think that in a few thousand years, these rabbits' descendants will be intelligent, humanoid creatures."
"I would prefer the intelligent bunnies to the ones we just encountered!" said Rainbow Dash, was was sprawled out on the ground a few feet away. Pinkie Pie was having a blast playing with a few bunnies who decided to stick around for a little bit longer. Twilight was taking notes of the landscape with a quill and notepad. Derpy and Applejack were cautiously trying the carrots.
"I haven't eaten that many carrots in my life but these are certainly the best!" said Derpy with a smile.
"Not an apple for miles. Darn," said Applejack with a sigh.
"Don't you get tired of apples every now and then?" asked Rarity as she walked forward with Spike.
"Me get tired of apples?! Never!"
"So is everypony ready to go?" asked the Doctor as he walked towards the TARDIS.
"Finally!" Rainbow exclaimed as she sat up. Twilight stuffed the quill and notepad into her bag as she walked forward.
"I think the Princess would be very interested to read about all the places I've been so far," she said happily.
"I can't believe it's already been a month since we started traveling with the Doctor," said Spike as he walked next to her.
"Time sure flies by quickly."
"I know, right?!" asked Pinkie as she cartwheeled into the TARDIS.
"I've seen many strange things in my travels and I don't think I'm ever going to get used to Pinkie Pie," said the Doctor with a chuckle.
Once everypony was back inside the TARDIS, they began discussing where they would go next.
"How about a beach? We haven't visited a beach yet!" Spike suggested.
"That reminds me! When we visited EPX234, a giant grasshopper told me about a planet with sand that doesn't stick to you and water that tastes like sugar!" said Pinkie.
"That certainly sounds interesting!" said Rarity.
"What was the name of that planet?" Applejack asked.
"Rowel, I think," Pinkie replied.
"Then Rowel it is!" said the Doctor happily. Everypony casually held onto something as the Doctor began tweaking with the controls. The TARDIS began to shake and soon it shot off into the time stream. For a few seconds, everything was working normally. Then something smashed into the side of the ship.
"What was that?!" Derpy asked.
"We're hitting something!" said the Doctor.
"Ah think we were able to work that out on our own, thank you very much," said Applejack. The TARDIS groaned again.
"What if something's trying to get in?" asked Spike as he began biting on his claws.
"We're traveling through the time stream! What could possibly be trying to get into the ship through the time stream?" Twilight asked. The TARDIS shook again and then came to a smooth halt. Everypony was silent for a few seconds.
"Have we stopped?" Pinkie asked.
"I think so," said Rarity.
"So when and where are we?" Derpy asked as she walked up next to the Doctor. Twilight followed suit and stood on the other side of the Doctor.
"I don't think we're anywhere. We're still in the time stream," the Doctor replied.
"Has the TARDIS ever stopped in the time stream before?" Twilight asked.
"No."
"That's not the answer I was hoping for."
"So what do we do now?" Rainbow asked. Just then, a large flash of golden light appeared. The Doctor and the others were temporarily blinded for a few seconds. When the Doctor's vision returned to normal, he saw that a new figure was standing in the TARDIS. It was a unicorn mare with a dark blue coat, a silver mane, and a cutie mark that consisted of a crescent moon and a star-tipped wand. She was wearing a purple wizard's cloak and a purple wizard's hat: both were purple with a series of stars on them.
"What?!" asked the surprised Doctor. The others looked at the mare with open mouths.
"TRIXIE?!" they all gasped. Trixie the unicorn looked at the others with an angry stare.
"You! Where have you brought the Great and Powerful Trixie?!" Trixie snapped.
"What?!" asked the Doctor, who was still surprised by Trixie's unexpected appearance.
"What is this place?!"
"Oh you've got to be kidding me!" Rainbow groaned as she proceeded to face-hoof. Suddenly, the TARDIS shook again and began flying off towards an unknown place and time.
"Doctor! What's going on?!" asked Twilight as she held onto the control console along with the Doctor and Derpy.
"Where are you taking the Great and Powerful Trixie?! She has no time for this!" Trixie snapped as she held onto one of the columns.
"What?! What?! WHAT?!" asked the Doctor, who was attempting to piece everything together in his mind.
