Ditzy's eyes snapped open. Pinkie Pie, who previously had a hoof on Ditzy's shoulder leaped back in surprise. Ditzy looked around. She was in Sugarcube Corner with Pinkie Pie and...
"Doctor..." moaned Ditzy. The Doctor rushed to her side.
"Sssh, shhh, don't overwork yourself." said the Doctor softly. Ditzy pulled herself up and wrapped her hooves around the Doctor's neck. She gasped for air and struggled to keep her balance.
"Doctor...what happened?" asked Ditzy, shaken. The Doctor stood still and let Ditzy hold on to him for support.
"I believe you were momentarily trapped in another universe." whispered the Doctor. Ditzy gasped softly. She was trembling and drenched in sweat.
"But you saved me right?" said Ditzy. The Doctor nodded and pulled Ditzy closer.
"Of course I saved you. I'll always save you. You're my companion, the only one I have. My one and only friend in this universe, my one and only..." said the Doctor. He held Ditzy close to him as if she were as fragile as a china doll and would shatter to a million pieces if he let her go. She would shatter. Ditzy was crying and Pinkie was staring dumbfounded. The Doctor led Ditzy to the only bed he could find and laid her down gently. Pinkie Pie was waiting for him when he came back.
"You have to have friends. Nopony is truly without friends. And in all the UNIVERSE, Doctor!" said Pinkie. The Doctor shook his head
"One friend in YOUR universe. My universe burned a long time ago. Everything must come to an end, even the good things...but...I hate endings." the Doctor said solemnly. Pinkie Pie put a hoof on his shoulder.
"When I don't want a story to end, I write my own chapters." said Pinkie. The Doctor looked at her with piercing eyes.
"I've been known to do that. But not every chapter is published." said the Doctor. Pinkie nodded firmly.
"Then you make it the best damn chapter you can write." said Pinkie. The Doctor chuckled. They spent a while studying eachother. Both ponies saw the other as quite a fascinating specimen.
"Does she really mean that much to you?" asked Pinkie. The Doctor leaned back, shocked.
"Of course!" said the Doctor.
"Ponies lie to themselves all the time. How do you know you really care?" asked Pinkie. The Doctor solemnly said,
"I know because I just killed thousands of ponies to reach her"
