	As the three landed in what looked like a field that would be known as Ponyville, they stepped out of the TARDIS. As they stepped out, a Roman guard came up to the three ponies. The guards didn’t look like anyone they had ever seen. Instead of the usual Canterlot guard outfits, they had bows attached to their saddlebags on one side, and on the other, they each carried an iron sword.
“Hail Caesar!” One of the guards yelled and bowed down at the Doctor.
“You’re only a pony.” He plainly stated and gestured for the guard to rise, “What’s the status report?”
“Cleopatra would like to speak with you.” The second guard stated then gestured the group of time travelling ponies to follow them into the camp.
“Cleopatra?” Midnight asked the Doctor, clearly confused, “Isn’t Cleopatra dead by this point?”
“Hm.. Yes.” He mumbles, then he pulls out his sonic screwdriver and messes with it in his hooves.  “I think we should follow the guards to see what’s going on…”
Colgate and Midnight followed the Doctor and the two guards to a tent in the center of the Roman camp. Inside the tent, there was a mare who looked like a queen. She had two earth ponies and a blue unicorn with a beard at her hooves. The two earth ponies were fanning the queen pony, and she was discussing something with the unicorn. When the Doctor and his two companions trotted into the tent, she immediately stopped talking to the unicorn and directed her attention to the Doctor.
“Hello sweetie.” She politely said to the Doctor. Midnight and Colgate just stared at the queen.
“River?” The Doctor asked the queen and then he trotted up close to her and said, “You nearly broke time to deliver a message.”
“You wouldn’t answer your phone.” She replied back in a somewhat dark tone. 
“Wait a minute…” Midnight said as he scratches his head with his forehoof, “You’re the mare who told me the date.”
“Shh.” She replied to Midnight and put a hoof to his mouth, “Spoilers.”
The Doctor turned to Midnight and Colgate with a serious look on his face, “Guys. This is River Song.” He turned back to River, "River, this is Midnight,” He then turns towards the dentist unicorn, “and this is Colgate.”
“Nice to meet you, again.” Midnight plainly stated as he rubbed his temples with a hoof.
“I will meet you.” River said to Midnight, “Hasn’t happened yet.”
Midnight turned to the Doctor for clarification.
“Oh yeah..” He chuckled then turned towards Midnight, “River and I never meet in the right order. Her past is my..” He paused for a moment, “Future.”
“Oh…” Midnight replied, clearly more lost than ever, “Nope. I’m lost.”
As soon as Colgate was about to say something, all the ponies in the tent heard a loud noise outside.
“Here we go.” The Doctor said. It came out muffled because he had his sonic screwdriver in his mouth.
