"Man, this cart is taking a long time," Ditzy said, "I think I'm going to get some rest."
"Me too," Luna added, "I'm a bit tired from all that time traveling."
"Goodnight girls," The Doctor said, "I'll keep watch."
"Wait there's one thing I want to see," Luna said.
"What is it?" The Doctor asked. Luna stuck her head out of the hay, and looked up at the cliff they were just on.
"That," She said, pointing at a figure floating in the air with a blue glow around them, "that's me raising the moon for my very first time."
"Who did it before you?" Ditzy asked.
"My parents did, it wasn't until the war between the Alicorns and the Draconi that my parents disappeared, as well as the rest of the Alicorns, leaving Celestia and I to raise the sun and the moon." Luna replied, tears welling up in her eyes at the memory of her parents.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," Ditzy said sympathetically.
"It's all right," Luna said, now full on crying, "everyone dies sometime."
"I remember when my people died," The Doctor said, staring into space.
"You have a race? I thought you were just a mad colt with a blue box." Luna said, claiming down to listen to The Doctor.
"No, I am part of a race of ponies called time lords. We are immortal. But when my people were thrown into a thousand year war with the Daleks, we were forced to put our planet into a time paradox, removing it from the space time continuum. I was the only survivor." The Doctor said, looking down at his feet.
"Oh, now I feel bad for both of you," Ditzy said. Suddenly the cart stopped, snapping them out of the trance they were in.
"Ah, we must be here! That was fast!" The Doctor said, poking his head out of the hay, "Alright, now let's sneak out and find an inn or something." They slowly climbed out of the hay and behind a nearby line of trees. "First, we have to figure out where we are," he started, "judging by the time of day and the shadows, we are south west of Canterlot, soooooo," he said spinning to look at the small town behind him, "we must be in the first settlements of Ponyville!"
"Where do you think we could stay?" Luna asked.
"I hope by now they have and inn of some sort," The Doctor looked at Luna, "Wait, you look to obvious in those royal garments, we need to get you some better clothes. Also you get to choose, do you want to be a Pegasus or a unicorn?"
They were looking around town, Luna got a lot of questioning stares, but the ponies decided they saw weirder and continued there daily activities. "Let's check the road that the inn is on in our time." The Doctor suggested.
"You don't say?" Luna said sarcastically. They walked down the road and saw a small building where the inn was. The Doctor walked up to the door and knocked on it. A young green mare came to the door.
"Well hello there," she said in a deep southern accent, "welcome to the apple family inn! The name's Granny Smith!"
"Pleased to meet you, Granny Smith," the Doctor said, "we would like to stay here for a week or two, do you have any rooms open?"
"Of course we do! Right this way." She walked inside. The Doctor looked at Luna and Ditzy. They both nodded and walked in after Granny Smith. They went down a hallway full of doors and Granny Smith opened one that was at the end. "This room should be big enough!" She said cheerfully, "Come to me with any questions or concerns, have a nice stay!" Granny Smith walked back down the hallway to the lobby.
"Better go in to check it out." Ditzy said.
"Good idea." Luna replied. They walked into the spacious room and looked around. "Wow, pretty big." Luna said.
"I call this one!" Ditzy shouted and jumped onto the large bed in the middle.
"We better settle in for the night." The Doctor said getting on the couch.
"I guess I'll sleep here." Luna said, laying down on the last bed, "Goodnight everyone."
