“I don’t know if I can help you Derpy,” Doctor Whooves said thoughtfully.
“You gotta try!” Derpy insisted, “I’m scared....what will they do to me?”
“I don’t know Derpy,” The Doctor said, “Nothing like this has ever happened on the show before.” Derpy gave him a pleading look.
“I’ll try,” The Doctor said and raced off. He appeared five minutes later, shaking his head, on the other side of Sugarcube Corner.
“So?” Fluttershy said earnestly.
“I can’t,” He said, looking stricken, “It’s too complex for the TARDIS to handle.”
“The TARDIS?” Twilight asked.
“Nevermind,” The Doctor said quickly, “The point is we can’t do anything to change Derpy’s future. It’s already sealed into time. If only I could’ve come earlier...”The Doctor’s eyes lit up in surprise.
“Doctor?” Twilight asked uncertainty.
“Are ya’ll alright?” Applejack said, concerned.
“Can your idea save me?” Derpy asked, as the Doctor thought.
“Maybe!” The doctor said, and raced off.
“WAIT!” Pinkie screeched, “YOU NEVER TOLD US WHAT YOUR PLAN WAS!”
“Pinkie Pie,” Twilight laughed, “He doesn't have to tell you his plan. If I know the Doctor well enough, Derpy will be saved within the hour.”
“But what if he doesn’t?” Fluttershy asked, “What if he fails! Derpy will be erased forever in Demon Land with crazed monkeys and dinosaurs!”
“Yeah!” Derpy agreed.
“She won’t,” Twilight assured her, “Come on everypony, lets go to Canterlot.”
“Why in the world would ya’ll want ter go THERE?” Applejack demanded.
“Just a feeling I’ve got,” Twilight smiled mysteriously. Her friends and Derpy looked at her.
“A feeling you’ve got?” Derpy said, rolling her mismatched eyes, (Which looked very strange) “Yeah right.”
“Yeah Twilight,” Fluttershy agreed, “I mean, what proof do you have that it’s a feeling?”
“I don’t think I need proof,” Twilight said, “Come on!” The ponies got up, and raced towards the path that would take them to the train station.
