	I checked the clock; Two A.M. Sighing, I sealed the envelope that would be the final message  I would deliver. I opened the front door and set out into the night, my sealed letter in my saddle bag along with a couple of muffins; the TARDIS was all the way across town. I would need a snack along the way. Trotting along the dirt paths, I began to notice that it was an unusually clear night; it was early spring. The weather pegasi usually had it raining  constantly.  

Nearing the edge of town, I took a muffin out of my saddle bag and began to munch on it happily. It was chocolate-chip blueberry - my favorite!  When I finally reached the TARDIS, I softly knocked on the door. The doctor almost never slept. With a low creak, the door opened and The Doctor peeked out. "Hello, Derpy!" he whispered cheerfully "Haven't seen you in a while! I was starting to think you may have left town!" 
I smiled sadly. "Nope! just been really busy. Here you go!" I said giving him the letter "Um..... please don't open that  until noon, ok? Please?"  
He stared at me, puzzled for a moment. Then, breaking into his weird smile, the kind only he can give, he said " Okey- dokey! See you later!" 
"Bye, Doctor...."  I said, trying to sound cheerful.

Standing on a cloud can completely change your prospective on everything. I haven't been up this high since I was a filly and I didn't appreciate how beautiful the sunrise could be. Since your up higher on a cloud, the sun seems to rise a few minutes before than when you're on the ground. Ponies will be waking in a few minutes. Good thing I chose one where I will not be seen - two miles outside of Ponyville. Glancing at the sun for the last time, I jumped.
