//------------------------------// // The Doctor (or: Crashes, Cuteness, Collisions, Calamities, and Crises) Part 1 // Story: The Adventures of Dreamwire and Green Dragoon // by TheGreenDragoon //------------------------------// The next morning, Dragoon and Dream were awoken by a huge crash from outside. Both shot upright instantly, each staring toward the crash, and simultaneously trying to figure out what the other one had done. From outside, Dragoon heard a familiar voice, “How could you crash, you silly mare, the surprise we had is now laid bare!” A heavily accented stallion joined in on the confusion, “My gosh, Derpy, sometimes… well, sometimes I wonder about you, my poor girl. I’m still trying to figure out how you managed to land the TARDIS in a tree…” A third voice piped in, “I just… Well, the door looked like it was in a different place than I thought!” The first voice replied, “So you would have crashed through the wall, causing this simple house to quickly fall.” Dragoon grinned widely. He recognized all three of these voices. He galloped out of his room at full speed, trampling over poor Dream, who had left his room at the worst possible moment. Within a matter of moments, Dragoon found himself face to face with a black and white striped zebra. “Zecura!” Dragoon shouted, throwing himself at his oldest friend, mentor, and surrogate mother, “I haven’t seen you for so… so long!” Zecura grinned back, while embracing Dragoon, “Why, my silly little Green Dragoon, You saw me at the last full moon! Your memory has truly left you, for you have no clue!” A light brown covered hoof lightly bopped Dragoon on the head, “What, nothing for me? It’s been even longer since we’ve seen each other, you crazy dragon!” Dragoon turned around to see the smiling face of The Doctor, “I mean, you were the first time that I’d ever even tried to associate with anyone who had dragon blood. I’ve only met a couple of others who were even close to yoOOF!” The Doctor had stopped paying attention, and hadn’t noticed Dragoon coming at him. He suddenly found himself sprawled out from Dragoons over-enthusiastic hug. The third pony in the room seemed to not be paying too much attention to her surroundings, and was only looking at the busted in front door. Dragoon looked up; smiled, and said, “Don’t worry about it, Derpy. I’ll get it fixed easily enough. Come on in, take a load off.” Derpy looked back to Dragoon, smiled and walked in. Dream had recovered from his trampling, and found himself looking over this happy reunion. He also found himself looking at Derpy. Octavia was still the best pony, but he had to admit, she was just so cute. “What brings all of you down here? I know that you’ve been busy, Doctor, what with the world to save and all. And Zecura, I thought you only visited on full moons. I mean, I don’t mind, but this is unusual.” “What, you think we came down here for reasons other than a simple visit?” The Doctor replied, “No, we just came by to say hi! Nothing unusual about this whatsoever! I mean, I am allowed to visit an old friend every now and then, right? There are ten more Weeping Pegasi approaching Cloudsdale. I am allowed to visit a friend every now and then, right?” The Green Dragoon grinned, thankful nothing was wrong, “Phew, generally, you only visit me when something bad is abou… Wait, what was that? The… second to last sentence?” “What, you mean about the Weeping Pegasi? There are ten more coming, why?” Dream couldn’t see Dragoons face, but he sensed something was wrong with it. Some type of anger was emanating from Dragoon, something he had never felt before. “They… they’re back? That… that’s not possible. I thought they were attracted by magic near the atmosphere. Cloudsdale only has Pegasi. No unicorns.” “Well, they didn’t… until just recently. With the next Junior Flyers Competition coming up, and with the extension of viewing to all pony types, there are more than a few up there. Somewhere around, oh, I don’t know, a third of Equestria’s unicorns…” “Oh my Celestia… That would be like a flaming beacon to the stars… They’ll be coming from everywhere…” Zecora noticed Dream standing in the doorframe, “Well, this is quite a surprise, we have an extra set of eyes!” Dragoon looked up, “Oh, I’m sorry. Dream, this is The Doctor, Zecura, and Derpy. Dream is new to town, and has already helped me out a couple times. Ugh, how are we going to get to Cloudsdale? Derpy and I, easy, but the rest of you…” Dream remembered the crash last night, “Oh, yeah! I forgot to tell you this, because you were unconscious. After Rainbow Dash knocked you out, as way of apology, she offered us a way to get up there. She said she had a friend who could cast a spell, allowing us all to walk on the clouds!” “Wait… Rainbow Dash creamed me into unconsciousness, and you only tell me now?!?” Dragoon looked extremely angry, “It takes a lot of force to knock out a Dragoon. She must be really fast. Hmm…” Dragoon went into a bit of a trance, with a slightly dopey smile on his face. Doctor and Zecura stared at Dragoon, and realizing his minds were somewhere else, decided to simply leave him alone for the moment. “Derpy, you should probably go and find this Rainbow. I don’t think I’d like falling through a cloud. I’ve never tried, so I don’t know for certain, but still, I think that the consensus for this is generally dislike.” Derpy nodded, flying out the (closed) window “Oops! My bad!” she yelled as flying away. Dream stared, sighed, and went to grab a bit of coffee. Dragoon sighed deeply in his trance. It was going to be another long day…
