//------------------------------// // Chasing Twilight // Story: Doctor Whooves: Paranoia // by forevertheDoctor //------------------------------// The TARDIS flipped and tumbled through the time tunnel and Ditzy was screaming. Her hooves were sweaty, but she didn't dare loosen her grip. "Make it stooop!!" screamed Ditzy. Ditzy squeezed her eyes shut as the universe spun around her. Soon, everything stopped and Ditzy opened an eye slightly. "It's over, Ditzy." said the Doctor. Ditzy let go of the police box, and barely managed to catch herself with her wings. She found that flapping her wings took more effort, but she could still sustain a light flutter, indicating her sprain was healing. The Doctor fell to the ground and trotted to the open doors. He stuck his head inside, sighed in relief, and closed the doors. Ditzy frowned. "What about the creature?" asked Ditzy, trembling slightly. The Doctor turned to face her and tried to explain how his risky plan had worked. "It was exposed to the time tunnel, and shouldn't be much more than dust now," Ditzy opened her mouth but the Doctor continued talking, "we're safe because I manipulated the forcefield to only work on the outside." Ditzy stared at the proud stallion. "You're insane!" Ditzy exclaimed. The Doctor surpressed a satisfied smirk, and simply paced around. "Say, Ditzy, do you know where we are?" asked the Doctor. Ditzy looked around. Her surroundings looked very familiar. "I think this is modern day Ponyville!" said Ditzy. "Ok, ok, great. Our next step is to find out what Itex is. Any ideas?" asked the Doctor. This being her own time, Ditzy did have a few ideas. "Twilight Sparkle is a smart alicorn. She might know what it is" said Ditzy. The Doctor nodded. "Where can we find this alicorn?" asked the Doctor. "She lives in this big tree that's also a house, that's also a library. It's kinda hard to miss." Ditzy replied, smiling. The Doctor chuckled and nudged Ditzy playfully. The Doctor held Ditzy's hoof, and the two of them trotted off to find Twilight's treehouse, Ditzy blushing madly the whole way there.
