We sat there like that for a while, just waiting for something to happen between us. Of course nothing happened and only too late did I realize that I still had work today. Crap.
“Twilight, I need to go to work now.”
“Yeah, go ahead, I’ll be here.” She said this in a dazed tone, like she wasn’t giving me her full attention.
“See you at eight.” I said as I left.

I spent most of the walk to Turners shop thinking about my conversation with Twilight. Could I really be Dillon? I didn’t know, but I was skeptical. Before I knew it I was at Turners doorstep, only a short thirty seconds late.
As I opened the door I yelled into the shop “sorry I'm late Turner, I had some issues with Twilight.” When I found the stallion he was waiting for me.
“It’s fine, it’s only thirty seconds.” This concerned me a little.
“Um… are you ok?”
“Perfectly fine, why do you ask?”
“Because usually you would be all on my case about being late.”
“You haven’t been late for work yet.” He looked over his shoulder at me and grinned.
Suddenly there was a flash and I got a mind splitting headache, I watched as images flashed in front of my eyes of Turner giving me a watch, then I watched as I saw an image of said watch around a human wrist. But this wrist came from my body. Then the memory ended and I opened my eyes to look up at the brown pony known as Time Turner. He looked down at me with a content look on his face.
“Are you ok?” he asked, but he didn’t sound worried, I decided to exploit this.
“No!” I grunted out “my head is going to explode.” I crumpled up in what I hoped to look like pain.
“It should pass momentarily.” He said still nonchalantly.
“It’s just getting worse!” I grunted out a little more urgently right before I let out a scream of pain.
“Fixinit, this shouldn’t be happening. I don’t know what’s going on, what do you see?” he asked, a little more concerned.
I smirked internally, but cringed externally “I-I see… a… a really… gullible stallion.” I said and burst into laughter.
“You have some sick humor, you know that?” he asked as I rolled on the ground.
“Yes, I know.” I said as I popped up, completely serious. “Let’s get to work.”
“lets.” He said, more than a little stunned.

After a few hours of clock fixing there was a whirring noise and Turners face lit up.
“he’s here.” He said in an excited tone.
“wait, who’s here?”
“exactly.” He said as he went towards the noise, I followed close behind.
Around the corner in the only space big enough for it to fit a big blue box appeared from nowhere. I was awestruck. When the whirring stopped and the box was finally done fazing in and out of existence there was a ding. We waited a minute and when nothing happened I felt obligated to ask a question.
“Turner, what is th-” I was cut off as the door to the thing opened and a being vaguely similar to Dillon, in basic shape anyway, burst out.
“Hello, Turner!” he said a little too enthusiastically.
“Hello, Doctor!” he said equally enthusiastically.
The man turned to me “hello again, Fixinit, good to see you alive! How was your trip through the stomach of an earth worm?”
“What?” he turned to Turner.
“What time is it?” he was serious.
“This is Fixinit; he’s only been in Ponyville for a week or so.” Turner explained.
“Ah, never mind then, how’s the hunt for Dillon, have you gone to the castle yet?” the man asked.
“We just got back. Who are you?”
“I'm the Doctor.” He stated proudly.
“Just the Doctor?”
“Yep!”
“Ok, Doc, how did you get here?”
“The TARDIS.”
“What’s that?”
“This sexy beauty behind me.”
I took a long look at the blue box behind him.
“And that’s the TARDIS. Ok, how did it just appear like that?”
Suddenly the door opened again and a purple head popped out.
“Doctor, how much longer?” it asked, then I got a good look at it. It was Twilight.
“Twilight?”
“Fixinit!” she ran out of the blue box and into me, she tackled me in a hug and gave me the best kiss on the lips I had ever had, this brought complete surprise to my head.
The first thing to go through my mind is ‘what’s going on? Why is this happening? What did this Doctor do to Twilgiht?’ then I let go of cognitive thought and just gave in to the kiss, kissing back.
When she finally released my lips she looked into my eyes “I was so worried, I thought you might have died, but the doctor wouldn’t let me go after you and then he pulled me back into the TARDIS and we flew off to some other time and now here we are. I love you so much!” she pulled me into a tight embrace.
“Um Twilight,” The doctor said. She looked up to him and he pointed to his watch.
“What?”
“This isn’t your time.” He tried to explain while being vague enough so he wouldn’t change the timeline all together.
“Oh, I'm sorry.” She got off of me and walked over to him.
“Wh… what’s going on?” I asked, still more than a little dazed by Twilights… reaction.
“Nothing, forget we ever came.” The Doctor told me.
“Trust me, that won’t happen any time soon.” I told them.
“Well… then I’ll see you later… I hope.” Twilight said as she walked back into the TARDIS.
“Wait, Twilight-”
“Just keep remembering.” The Doctor said in a serious tone as he followed her, leaving me confused and speechless.
They stepped inside the TARDIS and it started to phase out of view. A short minute later it was gone.
After another minute Turner broke the silence that had settled on the both of us. “We should get back to work.” He said.
“yeah.” I said, only thinking about how she kissed me.
