Doctor’s Perspective

“You know, now that it’s all over the irony that my grandmother was Carole Ann Ford just hit me.” Dinky said, fixing her dress as we stepped out of the TARDIS.

“Is she really?” I asked astonished. “Huh. Well you know she did a great job of playing your niece.”

“Uh, the family tree is going to become more complicated than time itself.” She said rubbing her head

“Did you have to park the TARDIS in the barn?” Derpy asked lifting the helm of her dress to avoid getting it dirty.

“Sorry but the perception filter is broken, so I had to park it some place no one would see it.” I explained as we exited the barn and walked over to the area of the farm the wedding was being held.

“Hard to believe it’s been 5 years here. I mean for us the battle was just last week.” Dinky said looking around.

“I know, I still can’t believe UNIT gave Big Mac the TARDIS phone number and that it can receive calls across the void! Well with the portal open I guess it’s not that hard.” I said after thinking about it.

“Ah. There you are Doctor.” An important looking man said walking up to us. “Wow you’re a splitting image of David Tennant. And you must be Derpy and Dinky.”

“Yes and you are?” I asked extending my hand to shake his.

“It’s me Night Glade.” He said reintroducing himself.

“Oh! Night Glade. How have you been? Wait is that a UNIT pin?” I asked seeing a pin in the shape of the UNIT logo on his suit.

“Yeah, I’m a member of UNIT’s Equestrian Division now. You see after the battle some of the ponies decided to return to their lives here on earth. When we arrived we found that Celestia and Luna had gotten UNIT to help locate all the ponies still lost and help those who wish to stay on earth integrate back into society. They've even made a new division lead by Big Macintosh to handle the task as well as anything else involving ponies and Equestria.” Night Gale explained.

“Wow that’s amazing.” Dinky said amazed.

“Anyway, I’m here to give you guys your Equestrian Identification Cards.” He said holding up three wallet sized ID’s.

“Thanks but I think you’ll see that I’m perfectly covered.” I said holding out my psychic paper.

“Oh right. Psychic paper. I guess you don’t need this Time Turner.” He said putting one of the cards back in his pocket. "But just to be safe I think you two should hold onto these.” The UNIT agent said handing the other two cards to my wife and daughter. “Take care now I have to be there when Twilight and her friends arrive.” Night Glade said walking towards an empty field as a helicopter came into view from the distance.


Derpy’s perspective

“Well this wedding is going good.” I said as Rainbow Dash finished her speech.

“Yes a lot better than Shining’s first wedding.” Doctor Whooves said looking around.

“Um, excuse me but are you David Tennant?” A women asked walking up to us.

“Uh, no. I’m not sorry.” He said shaking his head.

“Really because you look just like him."

“Sorry but I’m not see.” He said pulling out the Psychic paper.

“Huh. Guess you aren’t him. Sorry to bother you sir.” She said giving him a salute before walking away.

“Why did she salute you?” I asked looking over at him.

“Because I’m General Norman Rockswell of the US Army apparently.” He said looking at the psychic paper.

“Hey Doctor, Derpy. I didn’t know you guys would be here.” Applejack said walking up to us.

“Hey Applejack. Your brother invited us.” I explained.

“He did? Huh. Well I guess being the head of a division of UNIT has given him all kinds’ of different contacts.” She said scratching her chin.

“Um, hey there was actually something I was hoping you could do for us.” I said nervously.

“What is it?” She asked raising an eyebrow.

“It’s about Dinky, you see the doctor and I are planning on taking another trip through time and space and even though it’s been five years since the battle for you guys it’s only been about a week for us. And Dinky is still struggling a bit with her memories from her life in Equestria and her life on earth, not to mention the whole age and gender thing.” I explained fiddling with my dress. “So we were wounding if when you go back to Equestria you could take her with you and look after her for a while?” I asked looking up. “I mean time and space is a dangerous place and I don’t think Dinky is up for it. And you would mostly be just giving her a place to live. She is technically over 20 years old after all.”

“Ah shoot, I’d be glad to look after her for you. Just don’t be gone too long.” She said removing her hat. “And don’t worry I’m use to young ponies who are older than they look. I’m living with Apple Bloom after all.”

“Great thanks.” I said as we left to tell Dinky that she would be staying with Applejack.


“Well that wedding is definitely going on my top 30 list of favourite weddings.” Doctor Whooves said as we entered the TARDIS. “Anyway,” He said walking up to the controls. “So... all of time and space here and Equestria, everything that’s ever happened or ever will. Where do you what to start?”

“How about Equestria after Discord but before Nightmare Moon.”

“Alright.” He said fiddling with the controls. “And just for old time sake and because I look like him, Allons-y!” With that he hit a button and the TARDIS shook as it took off.
