 "Hold it" Tardis-girl said, locking the doors, blocking my escape.

"What?" I asked.

"...can I come with you?"

"By all means" I said. 

She smiled, then disappeared from the screen- in a flash, a dark blue earth pony mare with an electric green mane appeared. Her cutie 
mark on was an infinity symbol turned on its side, two lines cut through it, one above the center, the other below, something looked like it was in the space inside the symbol. I looked closer, and found it was sand.

I shook my head as I realized where I was looking.
"A pony, huh?" I smirked.
"Thought I'd give it a shot" she replied simply.

I shrugged and pushed open the doors, walking into a courtyard.

"This should be it," I said "unless we went too far"
"No, we're in the right place" Irdis replied (good name?) "Are your landings always like this?" 
"Not always" I responded. 

I turned and saw the Weeping Angel.

"Oh, there she is" I said, walking towards her.

I pulled my Screwdriver out of my pocket, and checked her with it- what? I can't be too careful...

"Eeyup, this is her alright" I said, pocketing the Screwdriver.

Not even a minute later, pies began hailing from the sky, splattering filling all over the ground.  A draconequus flashed into existence, an 
inside-out umbrella sheilding her from the pies. Irdis and I ran for cover as the pies continued to fall. Just then, water balloons joined the pies in their descent from the sky, exploding upon impact as we ran.

Both of us ducked behind separate pillars, avoiding the attack.

"Are all of your adventures this exciting?" Irdis asked "Can we do that again?"

I pulled her back as another water balloon imploded, water cascading over the floor.

"I know what you truly are!" I shouted over the battle field "You weren't a Weeping Angel! You were a human!" 

The barrage continued for a little longer, before it was finally calm. I cautiously peered out from behind the pillar, approaching the Angel.
I motioned for Irdis to follow, she trotted slowly after me, the draconequus appeared behind me, arms crossed in contempt.

'Female...odd...wonder if her name is Eris...' 

I turned back to the Angel, the smooth face in a placid stare.

"I have a message from Bad Wolf" I said.

'Please don't let her tear me apart...'

"She said that she's sorry for what happened to you...you don't deserve this...I'm sorry..."
"Who are you?" the draconequus asked.

"My name is Zero, I'm a Time Lord, and as I said, Bad Wolf offers her apologies, it was never her intent for this to happen..."

"What are you talking about?"

"She was probing the Void, and it...got out of control...I'm sorry..."

"Is that all?" the draconequus asked impatiently.
"Yes, I'm afraid it is..." I replied "If you need to contact me just...whistle, or something..."
"Believe me, when I call you, you'll know it" she said, mischief lacing her voice.

I coughed, and hesitantly walked back into the Tardis, Irdis following.

The doors closed, and Irdis and I were alone. I set the Tardis for a relatively unimportant spot in space, then sat on the chairs, a tear starting to fall.

"Zero...what's the matter?" Irdis asked, approaching.
"I can't do anything to help her...that's what's the matter..."
"There's nothing else you can do...you can't just change the biology of another living creature"
"I know..."
"Then buck up!" she said, pulling me off the seat, leading me by the hand "Come on! Where's that adventurous spirit?"
I smirked a little, then went to the control panel.
"Ready for a little journey?"
"Follow you anywhere, Z" she replied, her body fading back into the matrix.

'Well...it can't get any worse...right?'


'Right?'
