	Luna eyed The Doctor curiously, then turned towards the door. opening it and peeking out, she was met with another foreign landscape, albeit slightly more impressive.
massive looming towers and spires of all shapes and sizes rose from the horizon, stretching as far out as the eye could see. Luna just smiled with an open mouth as she took in all the beauty of the futuristic society. the dark, metallic look of the glassy buildings was sharply contrasted by the beautiful orange glow of the two suns-TWO suns?-behind the city. "It's..." Luna started, speechless.
"New New Equestria," The Doctor explained. Luna turned her head back to see him admiring the city, "In the citadel of the capital city."
"It's amazing!" Luna exclaimed, "I've never seen anything like it!"
"Nah, you haven't seen anything yet!" The Doctor said dismissively, turning back to his control board, "I'm taking you to the heart of it all."
Luna ducked back inside and closed the door, "There's more?" she asked disbelievingly.
"So much more," The Doctor promised, pulling the final lever.
One heart-stopping TARDIS ride later, they found themselves outside the most impressive building of them all: a massive spire which pierced an enormous sectioned glass globe. Luna leaned back until she fell over gawking at it, she had never seen anything as breath-taking as this, not even the canterlot castle could top this! heck, this trampled the canterlot castle into the dust.
The Doctor finally pulled Luna back into her hooves, saying, "the outside's great, but wouldn't you like to see the inside today?" and he lead her inside.
they were greeted by a perky mare dressed in a bright blue uniform. she smiled and said, "Good afternoon, may I help you?"
"yes," The Doctor said quickly, flashing her a slip of paper, "This is, eh, the princess of the third tri-galactic empire in the saggitarius sector, and I'm her ambassador. we're here for the Congress meeting?"
The mare squinted at the paper, then nodded approvingly, "the Congress hall is that way," she said, gesturing with her tail.
The Doctor nodded gratiously at her, then lead Luna away towards a side hallway.
Luna waited until they were away from the mare until asking, "so you just happen to carry that ID around in your pocket?"
The Doctor chuckled, shaking his head. he pulled the slip out and showed it to her, "this is psychic paper, it says whatever you want it to say. fools weak minded species."
"But I can see it," Luna objected, pointing at the slip, "Princess and ambassador, it says,"
The Doctor looked at her, pocketed the slip, and kept walking.
Luna paused for a moment, thinking, then with a start, objected, "Oi!"
The Doctor started laughing.
Luna rolled her eyes, then thought of something else, "You said, 'all weak-minded species', you mean animals?"
"You're going to learn very soon, Luna," The Doctor said, looking at her, "there are many more forms of intelligent life than ponies."
"You mean, like...aliens?" Luna asked apprehensively.
"well, to you, I suppose," The Doctor stopped before a door, pulling the psychic paper out and holding it up to a small lens in the wall. a strange light shone out, traced his body, then the door opened.
Luna thought of something else, "...Are you an alien?"
The Doctor said nothing, but he winked at Luna. he stepped inside the door. Luna, after a moment's thought, followed him.
