"Excuse me?!" Ditzy's voice rang out from upstairs. Ditzy trotted downstairs. The Doctor stood his ground.
"What do you mean you killed thousands of ponies to reach me? Explain yourself Doctor!" said Ditzy angrily. Pinkie stared straight ahead. The Doctor swallowed with more effort than usual.
"Ditzy, shouldn't you be resting?" asked the Doctor trying not to stutter. Ditzy stood there and stared at him fiercely.
"Clearly you underestimate me, I can get back on my hooves when I want to, I'm not as fragile as you may think now Doctor, explain!" said Ditzy trying not to tremble.
"Um, well, uh, you see...I, um..." said the Doctor failing to suppress a stutter. Ditzy walked up to the Doctor and slapped him straight across the face. Pinkie gasped and the Doctor just put a hoof to his face.
"Ow! Ok, ok, mind the face! Still got a while till I get a new one!" The Doctor muttered. Ditzy didn't budge and raised her hoof to hit him again but she ceased and tried to keep herself from spilling the tears that threatened to make her look weak.
"That snowglobe was a portal to another universe it's almost like a, a, a cosmic crystal ball! When I smashed it to let you out...I may have killed everypony else living in that universe. Not to mention...every other living creature there. If I were to take the TARDIS right there right now it would not be there. Just empty space." said the Doctor.
"May? Did you or did you not kill them?" asked Ditzy. The Doctor coughed.
"I definitely killed them. For you." said the Doctor. Tears streamed down Ditzy's face.
"Are you insane?! You should've taken the TARDIS!" screamed Ditzy.
"I COULDN'T! Do you honestly think I would reach you in time? You were freezing to death!" said the Doctor. Ditzy shook her head.
"No. You didn't do it for me. I can tell. Where is the passion in your eyes? You didn't do it for me. Why did you do it?" asked Ditzy. The Doctor looked at her blankly.
"Ditzy, I-" the Doctor started to say.
"WHY DID YOU DO IT?!" shouted Ditzy. The Doctor shifted.
"Because it was a fixed point in time. That universe had to go. No matter who destroyed it or what the reason was, it had to go." said the Doctor. Ditzy's eyes widened.
"You didn't do it for me. So, if I had to die...if it was a "fixed point in time" would you let me die?" asked Ditzy softly.
"Ditzy..." whispered the Doctor.
"WOULD YOU?!" shouted Ditzy.
"I...I would have to, yes." said the Doctor. Ditzy gasped.
"DO I MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?!" cried Ditzy. She ran upstairs and slammed the door. She sobbed. Her doctor was just like Ocarina. Her doctor would kill her without a second thought. Her doctor would kill anypony without a second thought.
