	Celestia approached The Doctor with a very stern look. "You, what are you doing here?" She shouted. "Hey, hey ,hey. No need to be feisty. I'm here to save all of your sorry flanks... AGAIN. Now, I'm gonna need your strongest Pegasus." The Doctor replied, now out of the TARDIS. Celestia continued staring at The Doctor very angrily. The Doctor looked her in the eye and said, "Is this still about me taking you to Earth? Or is it about that time when you saw my human form?" Celestia narrowed her eyes and said "Both". The Doctor snarled and said, "Look, that was a thousand years ago. Can't we put that behind us?" Celestia's horn began glowing and she shouted "No".


"Man, she sure holds a  grudge." The Doctor said, looking at Twilight Sparkle with a smile. Celestia was about to fire a pulse of magic at Doctor Whooves that was so powerful it could send him to the moon when Twilight suddenly said "But he's in the prophecy!" Celestia looked down at her student and said "Look, I didn't put that in there." Celestia stared at The Doctor and he eventually broke, saying, "Alright. I had to re-write a little bit of history. But that's beside the point. All that matters right now is that I need your strongest Pegasus." Celestia's face became curious and she said "Then why do I have the same memories?" The Doctor laughed and said "You're a time traveler. I thought we've been over this before!" Celestia then made her horn calm down and she said "Alright. I give up. Just tell me, why do you need our strongest pegasus?" The Doctor just looked at her in a quirky way and said "I don't know. i just like pegasi." Twilight Sparkle giggled and said "Well, my friend Rainbow Dash is the strongest there is in Ponyville."  The Doctor said "Alright. Call her up and we can get started."


"Get started with what?" Celestia said nervously. "So we can start saving the world, of course. There's not much to explain." Celestia sighed and used her magic to teleport Rainbow Dash by her side. "Ahhh! Perfect! A beautiful mare!" The Doctor shouted. Rainbow Dash looked around- dumbstruck. "Calm down, Rainbow. This is The Doctor. He wants your help in saving the world." Celestia said. "And why? I've never seen him before!" The Doctor sat down and said "Let's just say... I know your past. you are over-qualified." with a smile. Rainbow Dash cocked her head and said "Let me get this straight. You want ME to go off with you on some sort of quest with you... A stranger?" The Doctor smiled and said "Yes. Yes I do." Rainbow looked him over another time and said "Well, a handsome cult like you can get lonely too, I suppose." Rainbow walked over to him and said "I accept. So, let's say you and me get to know each other over lunch?" "Sure thing." The Doctor replied.
