//------------------------------// // Don't Blink // Story: The Fall of Gallopfrey // by CraftyVision //------------------------------// "Don't blink." I mumbled, "How hard can that be?" I was wrong in every way. I blinked once, and the Pegasus was three feet in front of me. I was so scared, but I didn't show it. All I could do was trust the two time traveling ponies, one of them being my marefriend. "Doctor?" I asked, “I’m still lost.” "You can’t kill a stone.” He started, “Of course, a stone can’t kill you either. Then you turn your head away, then you blink, and oh yes it can.” "Can't we run back to the TARDIS?" I started, "You said they absorbed time energy, right? So if we lure them away from town, we could make them stare at eachother. After all, there are only six statues." "You make a fair point." Colgate began, "Doctor, do you think this plan is possible?" "Quite possibly." The Doctor stated. "Can we run now?" I asked, starting to shudder. "Now!" The Doctor yelled. All three of us broke into a run. I completely forgot about everything else except that my life was on the line. Remembering what the Doctor said, I started running faster. Luckily for us, my house wasn't so far away. The TARDIS was still parked in the backyard, so I was glad nothing happened to it. The Doctor opened the doors, and I was speechless. "It's..." I started. "Say it." The Doctor began, "I love it when they say it." "Bigger... on the inside?" I started, being confused. "A very long story." Colgate concluded. "Thanks Colgate." I replied. "Doctor, I think you broke him." Colgate responded. “He’ll be back with us in a moment.” The Doctor stated, flipping some levers. The TARDIS made some strange noises, and then it stopped. “We’re here.” The Doctor grimly stated. “Where is ‘here’?” I asked. “When the Pegasi first arrived here,” The Doctor stated, “The first time I met you.”
