Luna watched as her sister raised the sun from the balcony. Afterwards, Celestia came inside and saw Luna. “Good morning Luna, you’re not usually up this early.” Celestia said,
“I went to bed a little to early.” Luna replied groggily.
“I was going to leave you a note, but I guess I can tell you in person,” Celestia said, “I am meeting with Twilight Sparkle to discuss some important matters, I will be back before sunrise tomorrow.” With that, Celestia levitated a saddlebag onto her back and flew away. “Uhg,” Luna sighed as she walked back inside. “Is there something troubling you, Princess?” said one of her guards.
“No, I'm just going to take a walk in the garden.” she replied.When she walked out into the garden, some gardeners greeted her. She smiled back at them and continued into the garden. As she was nearing a corner, she heard a strange noise. She rushed around the corner, and saw a tall blue box slowly materializing a few feet in front of her. She decided to hide and see what would happen next. She jumped into a nearby bush and hid. As she peeked through the dense leaves, she saw a chestnut colored pony with a dark brown mane step out of the blue box. He turned away from where Luna was hiding and started talking. Wait a second, Luna thought, there’s another pony with him! She watched as a grey, wall-eyed Pegasus with a golden yellow mane fly up in front of the first pony. They were talking, but Luna couldn’t hear what they were saying. They both turned and started walking on the path that went right by the bush Luna was hiding in. As they got closer, Luna began to understand what they were saying.
“Alright Ditzy, we need to find out why the TARDIS brought us here.” The chestnut colored pony said,
“OK, Doctor!” replied the grey mare.
“We’re looking for signs of danger or doom that could effect the time space continuum or destroy the earth,” the chestnut colored pony said as their voices drifted off. Who were they? Thought Luna, That grey mare might be from Ponyville, I vaguely remember seeing a pony that looked like her, but I'm not exactly sure. Luna slowly climbed out of the bushes, trying not to make a loud noise. She walked up to the blue box that the ponies walked out of and tried to open it. To her surprise, the door easily swung open, revealing a large circular room with a giant pillar in the center. Around the pillar was a circular control panel that looked extremely intricate. How is it bigger on the inside, is this some kind of magic? Luna thought, and what does it do anyways? As she walked around the room, she started to hear faint voices in the distance, slowly getting louder. “Let’s hop back into the TARDIS and see if this time period is significant,” Luna immediately recognized the chestnut colored pony’s voice, “ And then we’ll… Wait, Ditzy, stop.”
“What is it Doctor?” the grey mare asked,
“The TARDIS… it’s open.” Luna hid behind the control panel. "You stay here Ditzy," said the chestnut colored pony, "I'm going to see what's in there."
"Be careful Doctor!" The grey mare warned. Luna could here the chestnut colored pony walking around.
"Ah, hello there princess Luna!" Luna jumped with fright when she heard the chestnut colored pony behind her. "I'm sorry, did I startle you?" He apologized, "Ditzy, come on in, it's just princess Luna!" the grey mare, which Luna now knew was named Ditzy, came inside.
"Oh hiya princess!" Ditzy said cheerfully, "What brings you to the TARDIS?"
"Well this machine just appeared in the royal garden," Luna said, "So I came to investigate."
"Are we in the royal garden?" The chestnut colored pony, which Luna now knew was called Doctor, said, "Interesting." The Doctor stared off into space,
"You still haven't answered my question," Luna said, "How and why did this machine appear in my garden?"
"Oh, oh, right," The Doctor said then started pressing buttons on the control panel, as he was doing this he said, "This machine, the Time And Relative Dimension In Space, A.K.A the TARDIS, is a time travel device. I travel around in it, saving the time space continuum from complete and utter destruction."
"But why did you come here?" Luna inquired,
"Sometimes the TARDIS takes me places that need my help without me telling it to. It brought me here because at this point in time, I need to save something. Do you know what it could be?" The Doctor said,
"Whoa whoa slow down," Luna said, "So you're telling me that this is a time machine,"
"Yup,"
"And you travel around, saving the universe,"
"Pretty much,"
"And it randomly dropped you here because you need to stop something from happening,"
"That's all there is to say."
"Wow."
"Doctor, what about finding out if this time is significant?" Ditzy asked,
"Oh yes, one second." He began furiously flicking switches and pressing buttons. "Ditzy, please close the door for me," The Doctor said,
"Okey dokey!" Ditzy replied and flew over to close the door. "Hold on!" the Doctor said as he flicked a lever. Suddenly, the TARDIS started shaking, and Luna nearly fell over before grabbing a railing.
"What's happening?!" yelled Luna,
"Science!" the Doctor yelled while laughing. As soon as the shaking died down, Luna recollected her senses.
"What in Celestia just happened?!" Luna cried,
"We just time traveled silly!" Ditzy said.
"Well where are we now? More importantly, WHEN are we?" Luna said,
"That pun is used way to many times Luna, but to answer your question, I transported us to Ponyville, so we could see if anything was happening there." The Doctor said. Ditzy walked up to the door and opened it.
"Uh, Doctor, I think something happened." Ditzy said,
"What is it Ditzy?" the Doctor looked up from the control panel,
"We're in space."
"WHAT?!?" Luna cried in horror. She ran over to the door and saw Earth as big as a beach ball. "OH MY CELESTIA HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET DOWN!!!" Luna screamed,
"Calm down Luna!" The Doctor yelled as he slapped her.
"Ow, thank you," Luna said,
"Alright now that we are calm, I think there's something wrong with the TARDIS controls." The Doctor said, "Luckily, I can transport us to the last place we were in before the transport." Luna grabbed on to the rail early this time. The shaking began, and Luna heard the Doctor shout, "Oh no! Ditzy! Close the door, but don't look outside!" Luna looked over and saw the door hanging open, and the time vortex right outside. Suddenly, she felt weird and woozy. A moment later, Ditzy closed the door.
"Uhn," Luna muttered before passing out.
