//------------------------------// // The Lunch Room // Story: The Twelfth Doctor Investigates Canterlot High // by Helblade Master //------------------------------// Clara sat down at a lunch table with her fresh tray of tacos. Tacos weren't one of Clara's favorite foods but she was pretty hungry so she wouldn't complain. At the table were a few other people. One was a female her hair was red and she looked young she had a small rose depicted on her shirt. Another was a male his hair was black and he had an hourglass in his pocket. He wasn't eating but he wasn't even paying attention. He was looking at the doors to the cafeteria. He looked like he was expecting something. Then the doors burst open and the three girls from before walked in singing a very eerie tune. The male turned to the them both. "What the heck is going on? What is with the singing?" He had a nice little accent in his voice. It sounded like a British accent but it did hint another small accent in it somewhere. "Heck if I know," said the female looking at him and then at Clara. Clara sat there seemingly mezmorized by the three singing voices. "Hey um are you there," asked the male waving his hand in front of Clara's eyes bringing her back to reality. "Oh yes, um sorry," she said rubbing her neck. "No it's quite alright. I was going to ask for your name but you looked like you had no idea where you were. I know that isn't true but you know it looked like it," the male said," my names Hooves. Doctor Hooves" "My name's Clara Oswald, and who's your friend," she said pointing at the other female at the table. "My names Rose Luck," she said," and we are both very glad to meet you." At these words one of the girls passed by and they both seemed to lose any connection to reality. Their song seemed to put them in some sort of trance. From the lunch room doors the Doctor watched in horror as people started rising from their seats and started yelling at each other. The only ones that didn't were Sunset Shimmer and the ones that had been playing instruments. The three girls stopped singing and laughed. They were some sort of creature, but the Doctor didn't have any idea what kind. He then opened the door and walked in and went over to Sunset Shimmer and what he believed her friends. "Oh hello Mr. Smith." Sunset Shimmer said as she stood up and walked over to him. The other five turned and looked at him with confusion. "Who is this guy," asked the rainbow haired female from before," he looks like an egghead." "Well you look like a pudding brain," the Doctor said. "Sorry um, i'm not trying to interrupt, but um who are you," asked a pink haired one. "I was going to ask the same of you five," the Doctor responded sitting down. He looked at the trays and picked up one of the apples. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and examinned the apple. The other six stared at this strange device as it lit up and made a noise. The Doctor stopped and looked at the sonic screwdriver. "No signs of radiation."This apple is now mine," he bit into the apple and looked at the others. They just stared at his pocket as he put the sonic screwdriver away," what? Oh I know you have no idea what's going on do you?" The others shook their heads. "But who the hay are you and what the heck do you want," asked the rainbow haired one again. The Doctor shifted his position and leaned in. "If I tell you my name you tell me yours," The Doctor said. He looked around at the others and they nodded in agreement. "Good. Now my name is John Smith but you can call me the Doctor. I snuck into your school as the substitute for your science teacher. The reason i'm here is because your school is contaminated with some sort of, apparently harmless, radiation." At this the others looked at each other and then looked back at the Doctor. "Alright our turns. My names Rainbow Dash and i'm the captain of every athletic team in the school. I'm also the lead singer and guitarist in my band," said the rainbow haired one. All the others, except for Sunset Shimmer, yelled," our band!" "Well mah names Applejack. Ah'm not much of an athlete but ah'm quite strong," Applejack held out her hand to shake The Doctor's. He would have shaken it if she didn't have small blotches of mud in her palms. "My names Pinkie Pie and i'm the lead party planner on the party committee and I love to laugh," Pinkie said hopping out of her chair. The Doctor scooted a few inches away from Pinkie. "My name is," the rest was hidden in her whisper. That is if The Doctor hadn't been smart and expected a shy one in the group. He instantly went into his pocket and retrieved what looked like ear buds. "Sorry I didn't quite get you name," The Doctor said inserting the ear buds. "My name is Fluttershy," is what the Doctor heard. What the others heard was a slight squeak. "Nice to meet you Fluttershy," said the Doctor as he turned to the last of the group. "Hello darling my name is Rarity. I don't have much to share other than the fact that I am a fashion designer and your look is far to casual. It is also missing the key piece, a tie." The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "And why would I want a tie?" "Because it completes the look." "Well I don't want one thank you very much," he said as he looked at the others," now you girls have a big problem." As he said this the others looked with confusion at each other. "You are facing creatures from another world, but i don't know what world and what kind of creature," He said noticing Clara arguing among the others. He instantly got up. "And where do you think you're going," asked Rainbow Dash as she grabbed his arm with a frown on her face. "A friend of mine is in trouble I no longer have time to talk," he said as he pulled his arm free. As Clara saw him approaching she looked at him with a frown. She didn't look to happy to see him, but why? "Hello Doctor," Clara said as she started walking towards the exit. "Clara what's wrong? What's going on?" "I don't know Doctor why don't you ask your TARDIS." These were the words that the Doctor stopped walking at. Clara walked off leaving him alone in the halls. "I guess i'm investigating this on my own," he said as he went to the TARDIS.
