He walked around, his grey hooves striking the cold metal floor. He looked towards a door to the left of his control panel, tears starting to sting his eyes. It's been a hundred years but it still felt like yesterday when he had to let her go. He blew a small portion of his black mane from his green eyes.
"I should really move on from this, but..." He started, approaching the door.
"It's just hard to let go," he finished his thought. He opened the door, which had been left untouched for the past hundred years. He looked to see everything left where she had put it. Her mail bag laid next to the bed, with her grey blanket on it, bubbles seeming to dance across the fabric. More tears came to his eyes seeing the sight of her cutie mark scattered over the blanket in a beautiful pattern.
The wall had several pictures on them. Most were oh the grey pegasus mare next to a brown coated, brown haired, blue eyed stallion, a small purple unicorn with blonde locks in the middle, smile as bright as the very stars she would fly through every day. The older mare smiled, golden eyes crossed as they should be. He walked up to one picture in particular. It was of the same brown stallion and grey pegasus underneath s floral archway, Princess Twilight Sparkle could be seen just behind the two, smiling. The grey made was looking at the stallion as he looked right back, both in joyous tears.
That same stallion, looking at the pictures on the wall, was in tears. His now emerald green eyes burned with the hot substance that ran down his grey coated face to his jawline, where it would proceed to fall to the floor.
His only wish was to forget. To forget her, this world, and go back home with no memory of this equine universe, but he was stuck forever. At least, until he finally died. He wished to forget because then he wouldn't cry whenever he heard something that reminded him of her.
Hoof steps rang in his ear. His companion was back.
"I'm in here, Mint," he said, sadly. She walked into the room, seeing all the stuff still lying about.
"I-is this...her room, Doc? Her old one, at least?" She asked.
"Yes...i-it is," he said, looking back to picture on the wall. He clutched his hoof around a necklace on his neck, a pair of rings hanging off of the silver chain.
"I'm so sorry. I...I should go," Mint said, turning to leave. He stood there mourning. He walked over to the bed, a note lay on the comforter.
"Doc. You've been nothing but kind to me since the day I found you. You had no idea how much or how long I loved you before I told you. I will always love you. Your sweet blue eyes, brave nature, strong soul, kind heard, and intelligent mind are all traits that I loved about you. If there was anyway I could ever be with you forever, I would do it! You mean everything to me, and this last day for me may be hard on you and Dinky. Just promise me that she'll have a happy and long life for me. Make sure she sees the stars and all their glory. Make sure she grows up to be as fascinating as you are. Keep the multiverse safe for me and never lose sight of what's important. I'm just another pony, so don't get caught up dwelling on the past. Look towards the future! Look on the brighter side of things! Don't let anything drag you down! I love you with all my heart and don't you ever forget that. Goodbye forever, my shining star. So long, my dear time traveler. I'll never forget you!
Love, Forever and Always, Derpy Whooves,"
"D-doc? Can I get you anything? A muffin or-" Mint started.
"A-A muffin is good," he said, remembering Derpy's favorite kind.
"What kind?"
"Lemon Muffin Surprise, please?" He said.
Mint smiled warmly.
"Her favorite?" She asked. He nodded, placing a hoof on the bed. He grinned.
"I guess I can't forget you Ditzy. Nor do I ever want to," he said to himself. He turned to leave, feeling a slight cold chill.
"Goodbye, Doctor," a slight murmur called to him.
"I'll come back one day, my little pony," he said, looking back to see a golden silhouette, smiling warmly at him. Gold mane waving in the wind that didn't exist, golden eyes that shimmered. Her wings were opened, showing their full glory! He wanted to hug her, to run to her, cry into her, but it was impossible. At least she was there, watching him. A small filly bounded into view, laughing.
"I love you," he finished, hearing an "I love you too," before closing the door yet again.
