//------------------------------// // Golden Rays and Paint Drops // Story: Week At The Doctor's // by Whiskey Drops //------------------------------// ~~~~Golden Rays and Paint Drops~~~~ Ditzy brought out a fresh batch of muffins, though she tripped over a loose wiring that was on the floor as the plate of muffins went sailing in the air. This all happened behind Lowell as Click and the Doctor reacted by reaching up in the air leaving Lowell confused. “What are you two doing?” Lowell said as he tilted his head. Lowell's question soon came to light on him as the plate broke over his head as his eyes went wall eyed like Ditzy's as he leaned back and fourth. “Lookie...m-muffins!” Lowell said before he fell over knocked out. “I'm so sorry!!”Ditzy said as she rushed over to them and looked at the unconscious Lowell. “I'm sure he is fine, cause he survived a high voltage shock on several occasions.”Dr. Whooves said with a smile. “I'll help you make some more muffins dear!” Click said as the two trotted back to the kitchen. The Doctor went to check the energy readings of the TARDIS and left Lowell laying there with the muffins around him. Click, can you get the blue berries for me Muffin?” Ditzy asked with a smile as Click nodded Click slowly slides the bowl of blueberries to Ditzy as he kissed her cheek.. “Silly Click.” Ditzy said as she giggled. The Doctor poked his head into the kitchen with a smile. “We have arrived!”Dr.Whooves said as he disappeared from the doorway. “Arrived where?” Click said as he looked to Ditzy who trotted out followed by Click. “The earlier age of Luna's banishment, around in Canterlot!”Dr.Whooves said. “Why not Ponyville?”Click asked as he tilted his head. “Well, for starters Ponyville doesn't exist yet.”Dr.Whooves said as he opened the door. “What about Lowell?”Ditzy asked. “I left him a note on where we are going.”Dr.Whooves said with a smile as Click and Ditzy shrugged at each other. The three ponies left leaving Lowell in the TARDIS. Lowell eventually woke up after 30 minutes or so and spotted the note. “Gone to see the sights of Canterlot meet up with us at Clean Hooves Inn.......Where is that?”Lowell said as he read the note out loud. “What evs!” Lowell said as he cantered about and grabbed a saddle bag and brushed and packed away the muffins into it be for cantering out of the TARDIS. “I'll just do the smart thing and ask!”Lowell said as he cantered up to a noble pony. “Excuse me miss? But can I-”Lowell was stopped by the noble mare with a slightly hmph. “I do not talk to commoners!” The noble mare said as she trotted away with her nose in the air. “Fricking...posh...I'll clock one of them if they do that again....manners seem to be out the window when they talk to some one 'below' them.....snobbish poopie faces!”Lowell grumbled as he looked around. “And there is no... none noble pony here?.....That's just fantastic!”Lowell said as he sighed. After cantering around for an hour and trying to ask for directions Lowell simply stomped his hoof onto the ground. “Stupid posh bast....flailing butt monkeys! Canterlot is like... just has the rudest ponies ever!” Lowell growled as he slowly cantered up to a noble stallion. “Sir?...could you give me directions to the Clean Hooves Inn?” Lowell asked with a bit of a smile. “Why would a commoner go there?..... not likely to afford to stay there I hope!”The stallion started to laugh. “No...more mister nice pegasus!” Lowell said as he raised his right hoof up and socked the noble stallion knocking him out. “Let this be lesson for you!” Lowell said in a Russian like accent as he trotted away. “Man... that felt good to finally vent! I'm only nice for so long till some pony makes me snap.”Lowell grumbled as he looked around as he cantered. Lowell sat down by an alleyway and pulled one of the muffins from the saddlebag he got from the TARDIS, Lowell was about to take a bite till he spotted two pegasi fillies, one of them was a bright yellow and her mane was a dark goldenish color and the younger filly was a brown one he mane was a bright pink both of their eyes were baby blue. The two fillies were staring at him in the alley way. He looked between them and the muffin in his hoof. “You two hungry?”Lowell asked the fillies nodded in response. “Okay come on over here.” Lowell said as he undid his saddle bags and opened it showing the fillies the muffins. “Eat as many as ya like kids..”Lowell said with a smile as the fillies slowly cantered over and took a muffin. “Where...is um your parents?” Lowell asked in hopes that they do. “W...we don't have any.” The older filly said as the younger one ate. “O..oh...I'm Lowell” Lowell said with a small smile. “I'm Golden Rays and this is my younger sister Paint Drop” Golden said softly as she watched Lowell eat a muffin. “Well, do you two know where the Clean Hooves Inn is at?”Lowell asked hopefully as Golden nodded. “Its on the other side of Canterlot a bit past the castle gates.”Golden said as she looked down some. “Right, well come on!”Lowell said with a smile as the fillies perked up some. “R-really?”Golden said as she and her sister got up with a smile. “Yup, no sense in leaving you two out here!”Lowell said with a smile as he got his saddle bags back on and started to trot. The three pegasi trotting along in Canterlot getting mixed glares as Lowell draped his wings over the fillies. “Stick with me, I'll make sure they don't bother you.”Lowell smiled at the fillies who got close to him. “Daddy?” Paint drop said as Lowell looked to her. “What?” Lowell said confused. “Your the closest thing she had to a father... sorry about that..”Golden said as she looked up at him. “Its okay, pretty understandable I don't mind it Golden Rays”Lowell smiled warmly at both of them as Paint drop nuzzled closely. Huh...did I just adopt two fillies? Lowell thought to himself as the fillies kept close to him. “I can introduce you to my friends! Don't worry they are nice ponies.” Lowell said as they nodded coming upon the Clean Hooves Inn. Click and Ditzy looked to him with the two fillies, they cowered behind him some as they approached. Lowell smiled a bit and ushered them out with his wings. “Its okay, these are my friends Click and Ditzy Doo.”Lowell smiled as Ditzy and Click waved a bit. “What took you so long Lowell?” Click asked as he looked to Lowell as Ditzy smiled at the fillies. “Eh, I asked around at first...got no help what so ever...than I met these two and they told me the way! oh...and they are coming with me.....”Lowell said as he cantered to Click as Ditzy trotted to the fillies and started to talk with them. “ They are orphans...I couldn't just leave them in that alleyway.” Lowell whispered as Click nodded. “I know how that is...you have a good heart Lowell.” Click smiled as Lowell blushed a bit.. The fillies were giggling as Ditzy was making funny faces to them as she joined along with their giggling. “Wheres the Doc?” Lowell asked. “To meet up with Celestia, Didn't know he knew the princess. “ Click said with a smile. “So we are just waiting for him huh?” Lowell said as he looked to the fillies. Lowell and the fillies all climbed on the the nearby couch and sat there as Click and Ditzy smiled at them. “Aren't they just cute?” Ditzy said as she leaned against Click. “Yea, they are!”Click said as he draped his wing over the mare. A couple of guards burst though the door and Lowell's eyes went wide as he quickly placed on a fake mustache he had tucked away in the saddlebag. They approached Lowell with a glare, as the fillies looked up at the guards. “Sir, are you the orange pegasus that assaulted a noble pony?” The guard asked. “Why, no I haven't! I've been here with my fillies good sir!” Lowell said masking his voice in a deepish way. “Is this true little ones?” The guard asked as they both nodded. “Very well! We will leave you be!” The guard said as they left. I can't believe that worked......Lowell thought to him self as he looked at Click and Ditzy who were confused. “What?.....That noble pony was a jerk!” Lowell said as he puffed his cheeks and looked away, which caused the fillies to giggle. Lowell draped his wings over the fillies, They grow on me pretty quick! Lowell thought to himself as the fillies cuddled up to him and closed their eyes. “How does it feel being a dad?”Click asked with a smile. “Really...amazing.”Lowell said as he looked at the couple. “We will be in the room okay?” Ditzy said as the couple trotted off as Lowell nodded. The Doctor eventually came in after while and looked to Lowell as he got closer. “Have we met?” Dr.Whooves asked. “Wow.....really Doc?” Lowell said deadpanned as he took off the mustache. “Lowell!?...what a clever disguise...” Dr.Whooves said interested. “ What ever you say Doc, just don't wake the fillies.” Lowell said as he glared at the Doctor. “When did you become a father?”Dr.Whooves asked confused. “Not long ago!” Lowell said with a smile. “Interesting, where is the other two?”Dr.Whooves asked. “They are in the room”Lowell said with a smile. The Doctor soon left Lowell with the sleeping fillies. Golden Rays.....Paint Drops.. Lowell though as his wings pulled them closer. “Hmmm....I'm a dad....didn't happen like I thought it would....but..amazing all the same...” Lowell whispered to himself as he looked around . “Aren't those the street urchins we threw out last week?” A noble mare said as she glared to Lowell. “Touch my fillies and you will pay dearly....I don't give a flying flank who you are or how high up the royal flanking ladder you are...Don't...touch...my...fillies...”Lowell said as he glared darkly to the mare who backed away. Lowell just smiled and closed his eyes as the mare was out of sight. Wonder if I'll ever get a snap at Blueblood when I get to the present.....ooooo... I would enjoy messing with that one too much. Lowell thought as he chuckled to himself. " May this silly pegasi, sing you a soft tune, for your dreamy lullaby. Just close your eyes and sleep on your own world of dreams. If you ever get scared, just shout my name. I'll be there to fend off your nightmares, I'll do my best with this lullaby. In hopes that your dreams are a happy world, where we are together and playing. I won't be far.....I'll be....right...here. May this silly pegasi's lullaby give you comfort." I hope...that was a good lullaby. Kinda came up with it on the spot.. Lowell thought as he laid his head down and sighed lightly as he drifted off to sleep. A few moments later he was woken up by two yelling fillies who were being carried off by a rather big stallion, Lowell quickly woke himself up as he leaped off the couch and gave chase to the kidnapper. “You better give me those fillies back!”Lowell growled as he slowly gained a bit on the kidnapper. Lowell was tackled from the side by another stallion and was held there as the noble pony he knocked out before came from the shadow's with a smug grin. “You common scum...think you would get away with laying a hoof on me!”The pony growled at him. “Man,.....I should of hit ya hard....ya fricking flank head!” Lowell said as he spat at the pony who scoffed and nodded to the henchmen who was holding the fillies and walked to the cliff. “W-what!.. No you leave them out of this!!!! Do what you want to me.....n-not them!”Lowell said as he looked at the pony then the fillies who were crying. “No....go ahead and toss the street urchins!”The pony gave the command as they were tossed off the cliff side. This was just enough to snap Lowell's mind. His normal demeanor gone and replaced by a very ticked of pegasi. Using his burst of extra strength from his anger he moved his head back wards head butting the stallion behind him, free from the grasp he quickly dove off straight for the screaming fillies, almost! Lowell thought as he reached his hooves out to the fillies. The three disappeared under the trees, Lowell had hugged to his chest. He managed to swoop up just before hitting the ground and straight up with the fillies, I-I'm flying! Right..now to go give that bucking arse a piece of my mind and hoof! Lowell thought as he flew up and landed on the cliff edge. “Daddy!” Paint Drop said as she looked at him with teary eyes. “I'm...fine....just stay behind me...”Lowell said as he glared at the noble pony. “G-get him!” The pony said as he backed away some. “You....managed to tick me off fella....not even Celestia can save you from my wrath, as I say sometimes...do no evil to me and I will not do no evil to you. And you have done a great evil to me..Please wait as I cast upon my judgment on your sorry flank!” Lowell said darkly. The larger stallion charged at Lowell simply jumped a bit over the stallion using his wings for the extra jump height, he landed on the stallion's head before he could react sending him onto the ground as he stood on top of the knocked out stallion as he glared at the cowering noble pony. Lowell felt a pull at his wings as he looked back with a glare only to have it soften up as he looked at the crying fillies. “Daddy, please stop your scaring me!”Paint Drop said as she sniffled. “I'm sorry....”Lowell said as he sighed and turned to hug the fillies. “Your a lucky fella...now get out of here before I change my mind!”Lowell said as he glared daggers to the retreating noble pony. Lowell let out a soft sigh as he nuzzled both fillies and smiled. I'm glad they stopped me, I hate being ticked off. Lowell thought with a smile as he and the fillies started back to the Clean Hooves Inn. Where were you three?” Dr.Whooves asked. “Uh......that noble pony messed with my fillies..and well... I almost lost them”Lowell said as he looked away some as his ears drooped. “Its called a father's instinct, doing anything to protect your young ones.” Click said as he smiled at them. "I-I see..." Lowell said as he smiled a bit and hugged the fillies. The group trotted back to the TARDIS the fillies looked around in awe. “Daddy! Daddy! Its like magic!” Paint Drop said all excited like. “It is like magic...is it dad?”Golden Rays asked. “Well, it sort of is, its Time lord magic!” Lowell said as he waved his hooves around some making a face. The group all laughed at Lowell's little antic, he then ushered the fillies his room. “You two can have my bed, now go on get some sleep since you didn't get that much.”Lowell said as the fillies climbed into the bed. “Daddy?” Paint Drop said. “Yes?”Lowell said. “Can you tell us your silly pegasi lullaby?” Paint Drop asked with a smile. Lowell chuckled as he tucked the fillies in and started on his random lullaby, After his song he stopped at the door way and looked back to the fillies with a smile. “I'm...a dad now....heh...good night my little fillies.” Lowell said as he closed the door.
