//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 Monday again // Story: Time Loop // by snapplepony //------------------------------// Coming to my senses I notice i was in my bed Monday morning again. Remembering what The Doctor said i got out of bed and got ready fast. I dashed out my door and headed straight for the shop. I ran right past Edward and Sarah. "Hey Avernus you seem to up earlier." "No time I have something important to take care of." Sarah looked worry at me. "Avernus can you hang out with us tonight." Remembering what Sarah did on the first night I decided to change my future a little. "Well how about me and you go out on a date this afternoon. I will stop by your place." Sarah was blushing so hard Edward started laughing. "Sorry but i really need to go." Before either one could say anything I was gone. I ran by the shop and put a sign saying sick come back tomorrow and sorry about the trouble. I started running towards the alley where The Doctor keep the Tardis. It took me a good twenty minutes to find the same alley. I got lost going down some strange alleyways finally found the alleyway that the Doctor took me down to where the Tardis was the last night but there was no blue police box. "I wonder where he is then.?" A sound came from behind and i turned to be face with a being that I could not explain. "Well well is this the person who is stuck in my chaos." "So you must be Discord I assume?" "Why yes I am Discord the master of chaos. Now may i ask who are you?" "Avernus Bloom. But before we get any further why me?" "Ah here is the thing about my magic I have control over it but I don't have full control. I control what happens but what it hits is random. So I sorry my dear pony what has happen to you. My magic be perceived as evil but sometimes a different view point can change somepony's view on life." Discord walked up to me his form changed to that of a pony. Unlike his appearance before this form to seem more gentle like as if he was caring for what was happening to me. "Discord can you stop the loop?" "Ah here in lies the problem I cannot this form of magic till a lesson is truly learned by the person under its effects. So you might find out that the person you are now doesn't want to be that person or a crush now might be a enemy later on. I will help you along the way since I have been reformed. I use my magic to help some ponies learn a lesson. I will be around to help you, unlike that dreadful doctor I will not be a problem to find. You simple have to call my name four times aloud and i will be there in matter of seconds." "Oh can I trust that you help me and not make things worse?" "Ah there lies another question is how can you trust anypony? Or better yet how can you trust yourself?" I gave discord a odd look. "Good question, I don't know. How about this how do i progress forward a day then to get to the end of the week?" "Well if one listens to everything I say you need to learn a valuable lesson to stop the loop well maybe if you get the gunk out of your ears." Discord was suddenly next to me reaching into my ears pull out a carrot size piece of wax from each of my ears. "To go forward a day you must learn a lesson that you will understand from your heart. I have helped you enough today if you learn your lesson today i will see you tomorrow if not happy today that is today." "But." As soon as i spoke Discord disappeared with a poof of a smoke cloud. It was little after mid day so i decide to wander town a little to maybe spot the Tardis, but no luck on finding it. So instead I went to Sarah's house hoping to at least make my day normal. After arriving at Sarah's house I noticed a blue police box sitting right next to her house. "You have got to be kidding me." I put my hoof to my face and let out a deep sigh. I started to walk towards the Tardis but then it hit me maybe Sarah might be the lesson I need to learn. So I decided t head to the Tardis first then head to Sarah's house. As I approached the Tardis the brown stallion known as the Doctor poked his out with his little pen and started pointing it towards me. "Why hello Doctor." The Doctor gave me a look of surprise on why I knew his name. "The name is Avernus Bloom and I hope I don't have to explain much to you." The Doctor signaled me to enter the Tardis. "Well how do you know so much?" "Well Doctor I already had this conversation with you in about six hours. I am the poor pony stuck in time loop done by Discord, which I have to say he is a very nice .... thing." "So you are what setting off all my alerts to time problems. Wait you said Discord, thought he was reformed?" "Well yes he is. I just got done talking to him, he is helping me out at least. Discord and I are the only ones not effected by the time loop." Doctor gave me a look of deep thought. then he went off towards a backroom. I heard some rummaging and items being flung out the door towards me. "You said time loop right?" "Yea. Discord said that I will progress a day when I learn some personal lesson that I will know." Doctor returned with a small box. "This might help you, help me, help you." He opened the box showing two watches. "These watches can withstand the paradox of a time loop. With these I should be able to help way sooner, then having you look for me." He placed a watch right above his right hoof and I did the same. "How do they work Doctor?" "Well first you simple touch the glass twice and start speaking The sound will be sent to me and i will hear everything and vise versa." "Thanks Doctor if this doesn't work then expect a call this morning. Well I have date to get too." I waved good bye to the doctor and headed out of the Tardis. I trotted about ten feet towards Sarah's front door and knocked. "Coming." Sarah opened the door and leap right out at me. She planted me flat on my back. "So you finally return all the feelings that I have been expressing at you." "Well it took someone saying something to me. I decided to take my own life in my own hands." As soon as i said that I felt as if a huge weight was pulled off my chest. 'I think I just learned a lesson well here comes Tuesday.' "You ok Avernus?" "Yea better than ever. Lets go then." That night I gained Sarah has a marefriend. That night I went to bed with Sarah. To awake to Tuesday.
