The TARDIS began to shake gently, and a soft knocking came at the door.
"Doctor?" Ditzy Doo, or more commonly known as Derpy,was looking from the door to the brown stallion, a blank, confused look on her face.
"Ah, yes. What is it, Ditzy?" The Doctor looked up from doing who knows what.
"I think somepony's at the door. Should I open it?" Ditzy shot a curious look at the door, as the knocking came again. It was louder, more panicked this time.
"...Knocking. Well, this hasn't happened in quite a while...." The Doctor got to his hooves and trotted to the door, pulling the hinges open. A shining blue box in a glass case was hurtling inward at him.
"Ow! Well, that was completely unnecessary..." He picked it up, and closed the door, walking over to the console and placing it down on a slate of metal.
"....I've got mail, Ditzy."
"...Mail? How can you get mail when we're in space?"
"That's the question, Ditzy. And I haven't gotten mail in a very, very long time."
"But how can you-?"
"Well, It's not regular mail, no, of course not, that's not even mail! It's a hologram! What a surprise!" The stallion placed the box on the floor, pressing an overly sized button with a hoof, that was conveniently placed on top, perfect to press with hooves.
"Hello, is this thing on?" A timid voice came from the box, as the image of two fillies were seen, as the image poured out of the cube. A unicorn filly and a pegasus filly, sat in the middle of the room, their eyes affixed on the camera.
"Please, If you're hearing this, we are in need of help. We are stranded in a place some call 'Equestria'. We come from the planet Gallopfrey, and are hoping to find more of our kind out there. Please, come. We don't know what happened to our planet, all we heard was an explosion as we left. It's just the two of us. I repeat, please come."
The image faded, and the stallion sat there, dumbstruck.
"So....We're going to Equestria?" Ditzy turned, looking away from the box and blinking at the Doctor.
Ditzy chuckled slightly at him, as he just sat there, jaw dropped wide open, and his eyes wide in confusion and wonder.
"...Hello?"
Ditzy shook a hoof in the stallion's face.
"Doctor? Are you in there?"
Ditzy gave him a concerned look, and tilted her head.
The Doctor seemed to snap back into reality, just about as quickly as he snapped out of it.
"Ah yes, Equestria it is!" He leapt to his hooves, pulling levers and pressing buttons, returning to his excited self.
"To Equestria! Allons-y!"
Ditzy grinned happily at this, and at the last yank of a lever, the TARDIS sped in the direction of Equestria, more specifically, a town called Ponyville.
Off to Equestria to find the fillies.
The gifts of Gallopfrey.
