//------------------------------// // Prolouge // Story: Doctor Whooves: The Rise of the Nightmares // by Giratina3456 //------------------------------// Celestia's warm sun had just peaked over the mountain tops over the vast meadow when the TARDIS materialized. Its door creaked as it was pulled open from the inside and out emerged the chestnut colored stallion emerged from within. The Doctor peered out upon the grassy meadows before him. Despite the sun that had just risen to the point of view, It's light had not yet touched the meadows grassy blades, giving an impression of a meadow before dawn. "Alright, where have you brought me this time ol' girl?" he said turning his head back to the blue box, his gaze then returned to the meadow. Past a group of trees in the distance, came a faint glow of town lights going out one by one at the appearance of the dawn. Surely this is where he was to go, he looked back at the TARDIS one more time before he proceeded in a trot in the direction of the town. He had chosen to spend sometime away from ponyville, and see the rest of Equestria and what it had to offer, lending Ditzy some time with her two daughters and not having to be concerned with their travels. He had always wanted to see what else was there, he had only arrived in Equestria a short while ago, even in his own time stream, ever since the TARDIS had slipped through the crack in time and space and landed here. Silver Stream had passed out in the grass, she had been awake for most of the night last night. She had been stargazing with Comet Trail, as she lifted her head, she can tell even through the blurriness of her fatigue that Comet Trail was no where to be seen. It appeared that Comet Trail had packed up her telescope and left earlier that morning. Silver Stream seemed a little irritated at that Comet Trail had not woken her before she had left but quickly dismissed it. Her slight vertigo of awaking was suddenly interrupted by the sound of approaching hoof steps. Silver Stream's ears perked up high and she rose to her hooves to locate the sound. Her head turned to the approaching earth pony stallion, she had not seen him around Foalsom before and kneeled back down to keep from view. As he passed her attention grew to his cutie mark, an Hourglass. She pondered on who in the town may have had an hourglass cutie mark, but her mind's results came blank. Her curiosity of the pony came to the better and she rose to her hooves once again and decided to introduce herself. The Doctor had not spotted the wintergreen colored pegasus as he passed her. He continued on his way towards the town, now with a few buildings in view, suddenly the silence around him was halted by a snapping sound from behind him, a sound of a snapping twig. In an instant he stopped in his tracks and whipped his head around and set his gaze on the wintergreen colored pegasus. "Hello there, mister." Silver Stream said cheerfully to the stallion. "Oh hello." he replied softly, still slightly stunned at how long it took him to notice her following him. "What's wrong, you seemed shocked, what have you never seen a pegasus before?" she asked calmly. "Oh no, its just I was a little surprised to see you following me." He turned his body around. "Oh I wasn't following you, at least not for long,I just wanted to meet you."she said as she gave him a sweet smile. He wasn't sure how to respond to it and remained quiet, He thought of a way to reply but the thought was cut off by her continuing. "You're new around here, or at least haven't seen you before." she continued. "Well, I just arrived." he started back towards the town. "oh.... Oh yeah, by the way, I'm Silver Stream!" she said as she leaped of after him. "Nice to meet you Silver Stream, I'm the Doctor." He replied turning his head back to her with a smile. "That's an unusual, not a common name for ponies." she said as she looked at him with curiosity, He remained quiet, It was odd for him slightly, he was used to people or ponies asking 'Doctor Who?' after he introduces himself. She asked "So what brings you to Foalsom around this time of year?". "Oh! I'm in Foalsom, Brilliant! I've always wanted to see this place!" he said excitedly. She looked at him with a really confused look, "wait you seriously didn't know where you were?". "Well, no I sort of just made the settings to a random." he replied to her question. She gazed around at the ground and shook her head around in confusion. "Doctor, you're not making any sense!" she said with a slight irritation. He slowly stopped, and turned his head, "That's what a lot of ponies say to me." He grins wide and turns his head back around. She shook her head around and put a smile back on her face. "So, what can you tell me about Foalsom?" he asked as she catches up beside him. "Oh well Foalsom's a great little town, filled with shops, restaurants, parks and other recreational places, We have a river that geographically divides the town in half, oh and there’s this big lake up in the northeast area of the town, its so pretty! and it's water is just perfect during the summer times." She explained with joy. "Sounds lovely, can't wait to see." he said back. They eventually came to the edge of the grassy meadow, where it came to a dirt path leading down a cliff face where the town could be viewed from, she turned her head to him as he gazed out at the small town. “So, what do you think?” she asked. “I think it's brilliant.” he replied. They proceeded down the dusty path till it had converted to stone and had arrived in the town square. The Doctor looked around at the buildings and the other lively ponies that bustled through the little town, he smiled, It reminded him of Ponyville. He turned to the pegasus and said “Well Ms. Stream, Thank you for all your help, but this is where we part.” he holds out his hoof as if expecting a handshake. She seemed confused at first, then slightly sad, she put her hoof to his and shook it. “I guess this is goodbye then.” she says quiet. He started trotting of and stopped and turned his head, “Maybe, you never know when we might meet again.” he said before trotting off again. Silver Stream stood in her place as her walked out of view and vanished into the crowds of ponies down the sidewalk. “What a nice stallion.” she said quietly as she turned back around and proceeded home. 5am The following morning Silver Stream had tossed and turned all night long, Despite to perfect silence the town gave off at night, It almost seemed impossible to get sleep for her. She gazed over at her clock on her nightstand to check the time, she frowned at it and sat up, She whispered to her self “ahh... I give up, its futile to sleep now.” she rubbed her eyes with her hooves and climbed out of her bed and trotted to the window, she looked out and to her surprise, The stallion she saw earlier was walking y the house back in the direction of the meadow. She knew he was leaving again and still wanted to know more about him. “Oh no you don't “ she whispers as she heads to her bedroom door. She galloped down the stairs and out the front door, he had already gone out of sight, she frowned and proceeded in the direction of the path to the meadow. She kept her wings tight to her body for the flapping would wake the other ponies sleeping. She charged through the meadow in the path he had mad while passing through the meadow himself, she thought in her mind 'no, I won't lose him, I gotta catch up to him!' she came to the hill below the clearing where she caught a glimpse of him at the top. “Doctor! Wait! Don't go yet, there's a lot I still want to-” Hey yelling was silence at the sight of the blue box, the Doctor had been opening it and turned his head around to look around to look at her, his mouth agape at the sight of her. They stood there for a moment, but what seemed like an eternity staring at each other in shock, finally one became brave enough to speak. “Doctor, what is that?” she asked calmly. He finally snapped from his stare, and calmed down “Oh, yeah uh... this? This is the TARDIS.” he replied. “A what?” she tilts her head in confusion. He sighs and shakes his head, “Silver, I'm a time traveler, This box here, is what takes me through Space and Time.” he turns back to the TARDIS and pushes it open, “Come I'll show you.” he trots inside. “Doctor, there is no way we can fit in there..” she said. She eventually sighed when the Doctor refused to respond and trotted inside. Her eyes widened wide as she caught the first glimpse of the inside. Her gaze flashed all around the room, and she was struck with utter awe. “welcome aboard the TARDIS!” he exclaimed in cheer as her galloped up to the control console. This shocked her out of her blank stare, “I-I-It's-” she began “ 'Bigger on the inside'? Yes indeed, the TARDIS stands for 'Time and Relative Dimension in Space.', Brilliant isn't it?” he asked as he operates some of the controls and glances back over at her. She was still was speechless. He smiled and returned to the console controls. “Oh and can you please close the TARDIS door for me, I'm a little busy over here and It's a little hard to fly long distances with the door open.” she snapped out of the stun of the awe and respond. “Oh uhh.. sure!” she replied as she galloped to the door and pushed it closed. “All right, lets see where should I show I you... Oh, I know!” he called out as he ran around the console. He pulled a lever down upon the console. “ALLONS'Y!” He cried out as the TARDIS made it's familiar Wrooping sound. The TARDIS shook around slightly catching Silver Stream off guard and flinging her against the wall. “oww...” she moaned. “Oh sorry about that!” said the Doctor when he noticed her hitting the wall. The TARDIS started to shake less and eventully the shaking came to a halt. “Here we are!” he said as he moves away from the console and to the door. “W-where are we?” she asked rubbing her head with her hooves then returning to her hooves. “ A whole new planet, come see.” he said calmly with a smile. She came to his side and he pulled the door open. She walked out and her jaw seemed to go numb as it felt to have hit the ground below her. She knew she was no longer standing on Equestria. A planet of bluish hued rock with tall spires of said rocks. The waters were of a shade of purple and hints of green. And to the skies above rocks broken off from the spires scattered through the Bluish sky. “Oh my Celestia... “ she quietly said trying to feel her jaw. “incredible isn't it?” he asked. “yeah..” she manages to lift her jaw again. “Hey, Doctor?” she asked quietly, “Eh?” he replied. “I believe you.” Later... (sorry couldn't think of what to put here.) The TARDIS began to materialize on a Foalsom street corner, the door opened and the the two ponies came out still laughing about what happened. “Oh my, that was so hilarious!” she said trying the catch her breath from laughing. “Yeah, did you see that fish' face!” he said also trying to catch his breath. They broke into laughing again, “Well then, I guess this will be good bye for now. “ he says finally calmed down. “I guess so, please come back soon OK?” she asked with a calm smile. “yeah.” he replied to her softly. He turned back to the TARDIS and trotted in,closing the door behind him. The TARDIS started up and began to dematerialize. Eventually it was gone and Silver was alone in the evening sun of the town. “See you soon Doctor..”
