	“So, what happened?” Rainbow Dash asked. I looked down, trying to remember. I looked back up into her magenta eyes.
“I was in my blue box.” I started, “Derpy was with me. Don’t let the look fool you, it’s bigger on the inside. It’s really a space ship that has infinite rooms. My ship is called the TARDIS. Now you’re probably confused, so let me sum it up for you. I am an alien from outer space. I’m a Time Lord from the planet Gallifey.” 
Rainbow Dash began to speak, “Is that what you meant when you said that she was your only friend on this world?” 
“Yes, well, also no. You see, I’m from another dimension where, instead of ponies being the prime species, humans are the prime species. If you want to know what a human is, in short, they’re hairless apes.” Rainbow Dash just kept looking at me with a puzzled look. I can’t blame her; everyone is puzzled when they meet me.
“So about Derpy, how did you lose her?” she finally asked. I just sat there thinking until the memory finally hit me.
“Ah, yes. Now I remember. We were in the TARDIS about to launch.

“So, where do you want to go Derpy?” I asked her. She ran up to me with excitement. 
“I want to go somewhere fantastic. After all, today is my birthday!”
I looked up at her with awe. “Really now? Your birthday? Well then, happy birthday Derpy. Since you told me, I’ll take you somewhere extra special! How about Barcelona?” Just then, there was a loud banging at the door.
“Doctor, what was that?” Derpy asked. She started backing away from me and went to the big wibbly thingy. The banging continued and got louder each time. 
“Derpy, stay back!” I ordered. The door burst open and out came a pony with dead looking eyes. He ran at me and knocked me down. As I struggled to get up, the pony kept trying to bite me. Derpy saw what was going on and pushed him off me. As I got up to my hooves, the pony then tackled Derpy. I tried to push him off her, but the pony was strong and pushed me out of the TARDIS. As I got up, the TARDIS started leaving. “No no no no no no!” I yelled. By the time I got to her, it was too late. The TARDIS vanished, and there was nothing I could do. “Huh. So that’s what it looks like when it leaves.”

“And that was the last I saw of her.”
Rainbow Dash looked at me with sorrow in her eyes.“I’m sorry for your loss, Doctor. But maybe Derpy is still alive? You never saw her get bitten. You only assumed that she died.” Rainbow Dash paused for a second. “So, why did your ‘TARDIS’ leave by itself?”
“Most likely, as Derpy was struggling, she must have accidentally started it. Who knows where she is.”
“Who, Derpy?”
“No, my TARDIS! She’s been with me since I was an old man and now she’s gone!” Rainbow Dash tilted her head in confusion. “Uh, it’s alien stuff. It’s complicated.” 
“Right, well I think my shift is over? I’m gonna go wake up Octavia. You to can continue talking about… whatever it is you’ve been talking about these past few months.” Rainbow Dash walked away and went over to Octavia. I just stayed where I was… thinking. That’s all I really get to do now. I wish I could go on an adventure instead of being stuck in this shelter. Also, what was this plan I heard Rarity tell Applejack about? If there are secrets going around, I want to know them. I may not be able to go on an adventure, but I can still investigate.
