I awoke nice and refreshed, the sun was high, the birds singing, the great smell of fresh made Cinnamon Muffins floating up from down stairs, Pinkie was already hard at work, bless her. I slide out of bed and trotted into the bathroom, starting to brush my teeth. Pinkie left me a message, I thought when I walked in, and saw Good morning Mr. Pie written on the mirror in lipstick... wait... something is off. What was I doing here, my friend was...
"Good morning honey!" My wife said to me, looping her for legs around my neck as I came downstairs. Celestia I was lucky to have her. I ate a big breakfast this morning, Pinkie always made the best muffins, then it was off to work. I skipped along, humming to myself, waving to all of my friends as I went. The happy teacher Twilight, the animal lover Fluttershy, The happy couples of Gilda and Rainbow Dash, and Applejack and Rarity, who were talking to an odd pony with a spiked up chocolate mane and chestnut fur, with a hourglass cutie mark... But before I could focus on this, I bumped into a new pony.
"Oops, my bad. Hi there, I'm Opie," I said, trying to help up the cream colored mare with frizzy blonde hair. Something about her was... familiar.
"Hello Opie, I'm Melody, Melody Pond," She said.
"Nice to meet you Melody. Are ya new here?" I asked.
"Quite. Just got in last night," She said with a smile. For some reason it hurt my head to look right at her, into those gray eyes.
"Hmm, you should go to Sugarcube corner, say hello to my wife, Pinkie. She loves to throw parties for the new ponies in town," I said.
"Will do. Ta ta for now Mr. Pie," She said trotting off.
"Hey, wait," I called after her, "I didn't tell you where it is... Or my Name. And IT'S FIXX!" I yelled. Why did everpony keep calling me Opie Pie? I continued on to the clock tower, ready to get to work maintaining the big toy of mine. Celestia she was beautiful, and so big. It was almost like she was bigger on the inside... Almost... There was a knock at my door, so I hurried over to see who was here.
"Oh, Hello Derpy," I said to the fair mail pony, "If it's bills I'm not here," I joked.
"Nope, just a package today. Here... no wait... here? No... oh no...Um..." Derpy said having trouble reading the labels on the mail. I knew to just wait it out, Derpy couldn't let me handle other ponies mail anymore, we had a problem with that. "Huh," She said at last, "That's odd, It's not here. But I could have sworn..." She said, almost in tears.
"Hey, it's all good Derpy, it happens. Why don't you go over to the Sugarcube. Tell Pinkie I sent you for a fresh cinnamon muffin," I said.
"Yippee, fresh muffins!" She said, a spring in her step. I closed the door with a chuckle, she was a good pony, she just needed a good friend, and some bubble wrap, to be set for life. I turned around to find myself face to face with the odd pony from this morning, the one talking to the Apple-Rarity couple.
"Hello Opie," He said as if he and I were... best colts...at my wedding, I.. I had asked..."I don't have long Opie, I need you to go to Canterlot. Trust me, I'm the Doctor," He said with a brilliant smile. A smile that I felt told me this plan was about to suck for me... why did I know that... how? Another knock at the door, probably Derpy with that package she couldn't find. I turned to look at the door for a second, and when I turned back, the odd pony was gone. I shrugged it off, I do live with Pinkie Pie after all.
"Hello," I said opening the door to find it was actually two royal guards, both looking rather serious.
"Opie Pie?" The black one asked.
"It's Fixx! Opie Fixx!" I yelled. The two guards nodded to each other, then tackled me and put a bag over my head. Celestia, I hate that, not being able to see, ponies don't like that. I blacked out now, the bag smelling really funny, just like chloroform... oh, wait... crap.
I awoke in an underground cell, or so I guess, based on the temperature and walls. I looked around now, trying to figure out where I was, and any tools I had at my disposal. But the cell was empty, except for a large white Alicorn!
"Princess!" I said trying to rush too her, but I was chained to the wall.
"Hello there my little pony, glad you are finally awake," She said, with a sad smile upon her face. Her beautiful coat was mud stained, her mane a mess, which for a shifting aura of magic is rather hard I think.
"What happened, why are you locked up down here Princess?" I asked.
"Please, call me Celle, there is no need to stand on circumstance now. Last week I was enjoying a walk in my private garden, when Queen Chrysalis sprung a trap. She replaced me, and used some sort of alien device to be able to draw the love of everyone in Equestria for me into her, making her nearly invincible. She has to be stopped," She pleaded with me.
"Um... how? I'm here with you, locked in an underground cell," I said, and a very valid point.
"You are the best repair pony there is, she might try to use you to better the alien device," Celle said.
"Me? What can I do?" I asked. It's not like I could fix alien tech, not with out a sonic screw driver, a temporal distortion field to cut relay displacement, a psychic regulator to keep it form burning out, and a roll of duct tape... Wait what? Brain you betray me, hiding this knowledge til now! "Never mind Celle, my brain just kicked in I think."
"She's coming, quick Opie, for Equestria." She said in a hushed tone. A second later the Princess, or should I say changling Queen, entered our cell.
"Hello there little one, did my guard treat you well?" she asked of me.
"Oh yeah, so well, those two deserve a raise," I said sarcastically.
"I meant the one in here with you," She said., and I watched as the princess I had talked to changed in a flash of green magic into a changling.
"What, how? Oh wait, changling, right. But why?" I asked, confused.
"It was the only way to get you to admit you could improve on my device. Thank you my child," She said to the monster that was now freed for the wall. "Now my little pony, you Will help me," She said, horn a glow with magic as she prepared to magically force me into her service.
Oh filly, Princess Celestia needs me to fix a device for her, and am I ever happy to help. Ouch! Brain, why did you hurt me for that... whats wrong... everything... wrong... We turned a corner and the Princess smiled down at me, and what a lovely smile.
My leader looked at consul of displays and asked if I could make it work better.
"Of course Princess," I said. And I happily went about the task. It was hard, but I somehow managed. After a bit I got hungry, and wanted a muffin. I realized I was working on a giant psychic relay now... I wonder... all that power, energy, and magic flowing through it...
"Oh little pony, are you done yet?" the Princess asked of me.
"Almost," I said, "Just applying the finishing touches.. and done." I said rising, eating my muffin.
"Where did you get that?" the Princess asked with a puzzled look on her kind face.
"Muffin Button," I said with a more than likely stupid look on my face.
"What? Never mind, guards, throw him in the dungeon, I will now become a god!" She cried, and let loose an evil laugh. I sat back and enjoyed my muffin, watching the lightning flash all around. Everything seemed so nice... the Princess was so nice... Princess... All of the sudden I felt like some one slapped me, I looked hard, but the only one here was the Princess... Princess...
"Foal, why don't they do anything? What did you do you idiot?" She demanded of me? Why would she do that... Why was I sitting here. "You screwed it up, they are too blindly in love now, I can't handle this much power!" She cried. Wait, she wasn't... wasn't... what was she not... "RAGH!!!" She cried as she let loose a powerful blast of magic, her power growing out of control. I remember now, she was the Queen, Chrysalis! I had to stop her. I leaped at the terminal, sliding under it and putting a hoof to the button, shutting the whole thing down. With a cry, the changling queen transformed back to herself. looking at me with fire and rage in her eyes.
"Well, that was fun ma'am," I said, casually leaning on the computers now, "But I really think you should free the Princess, and break your spell over Luna too, she needs her brain."
"Foal, do not treat me as such, I will rule you all!" She bellowed.
"Yeah, not gonna happen. I cut you off from the relay, and reversed the psychic resonance into a better target, the princess herself. With your spell over everyone, and a massive relay like this one, all that power, she is gonna be here in..." I started, cut off by a beautiful White Alicorn teleporting into the room. She was angry, like Pinkie when somepony breaks a Pinkie promise angry, because no pony messed with her subjects. "Now," I finished with a smug smile as the Queen cowered from the Ruler of Equestria, Princess Celestia. The changling queen tried to bolt, but my Princess put a stop to that plan.
"You are the worst, Queen Chrysalis, You endangered my kingdom, hurt my subjects, drained my sister, and banished my friend. You are not to ever leave the caves of despair!" Celestia said, horn glowing as she magically cast the foul shifter to the caves far from Canterlot, or anything really, to live out her days as queen of the rocks. With all the power coursing through her now, she was scary, but amazing. With a cry, the shifter vanished and the Princess turned to me and smiled, her normal warm smile.
"Thank you my friend. I am forever in your debt," She said.
"Think nothing of it, now if you will excuse me, I need to shut down this machine and get my friend back," I said.
"Of course, but how did you make the machine hurt the Queen, or empower me?" She asked as I got under the command node and cut the power.
"Muffin Button," I said.
"What?"
"What?"
The princess laughed as the machine was disabled, so no pony could ever use it for ill will again. Then the sounds of a very familiar engine could be heard through out the castle, and the Princess and I dashed into the main hall way where just in time, the big blue box appeared. The Doctor burst out, along with a painful to look at pony version of River Song.
"Opie, listen, we were interrupted, but now you need to bring down the relay!" he yelled.
"Easy Doc, it's all good, I took care of it. We're good," I said doing my best Doctor level smile.
"What, but, but how?" The Doctor said, obviously a little deflated.
"Muffin Button."
"Ah, jolly good. Still have any muffins?" The Doctor asked. And everyone assembled laughed.
"So Doc," I said, "How is River a pony now, and why does it hurt to look at her?"
"Perception Filter, and because you know she is not a pony, so your brain is fighting to correct the image," The Doctor said rather like I should have known.
"Um, boys..." River said.
"Yeah?" I said, looking near her, not wanting to kill my brain now, I was on a roll.
"Where is Pinkie, I thought she was with you..." River said. She spoke on, But I couldn't make out the words. All I knew was my Pinkie was gone, and I had to find her. I ran from the castle, I ran and I ran. I was almost to the Canterlot city gates when the Princess' chariot passed over and told me to jump in. I did, with out a second though. It could have been a trap, I didn't care, I was going to Pinkie, and not a force on Equestria could stop me.
