//------------------------------// // Arrival // Story: Dr Whooves: Minequestria // by Tardis of Dr Whooves //------------------------------// The doctor is busy away reading his book and starts to hear the grating noise of the Tardis. He can only imagine what the ponies in Equestria are doing at that moment in time. Sure enough, ponies around town stopped as they all heard a faint grating noise. They've never heard anything like it. It started to grow louder and eventually, Twilight and Spike came out the library to see what was making that noise. Soon enough, many ponies and Spike could start to see a blue box appearing right in front of their eyes! The wind was picking up as dust was blown about and the grating noise was very loud at this stage! Eventually, the noise came to a stop and the ponies were now surrounding a mystical blue box that had just appeared out of nowhere! One of the double doors opened and out came the Doctor, completely oblivious to the huge gathering on ponies surrounding him. He turns around and is met with a thousand pair of eyes staring at him. He decided to introduce himself, so with a quick breath he spoke "Greetings, I am Dr Whooves! Although I prefer to be called simply, The Doctor. I come in peace!" None of the ponies said anything, they merely stared at him, then to the Tardis and then back at him. He was about to explain what the Tardis was when suddenly Twilight stepped forward and said "Uh...hi! How-how.....how did you do that? With your blue box I mean." The Doctor smiled, "Well, this 'blue box' as you call it is actually my time machine! It's called the Tardis. That stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. I use it to go anywhere and anywhen!" The crowd all starting talking to eachother and one yelled out "A time machine? Prove i-". The ponie’s sentence was cut off as another Tardis started to materialise next to the Doctor. Out the second Tardis stepped another Doctor Whooves! He said "Proved!" in a victorious manner. At that the Doctor from the first Tardis stepped in and dematerialised in his Tardis. "Wha.....what just happened?" Asked a very confused Twlight. "Well," the doctor started, "to put it in as simple terms as I can, the doctor that just dematerialised in his Tardis went back in time which is exactly what I did coming to this time. So when he dematerialised that was me materialising here. But he hadn't left yet so there was two of us. Although the laws of time don't normally allow us to have 2 of us in one place, doing a stunt like that doesn't really cause any problems." The doctor finished of that sentence without even taking a breath. Twilight, along with Spike and the other ponies who were all giving confused looks on their faces, was trying to calculate in her own mind what the Doctor had just said. She eventually made out some bits but not fully. She was about to ask how the Tardis works when she, and now the rest of the crowd, had noticed he was gone! "If you ask me, he's actually pretty cool!" said a very amazed Spike. As everypony was trying to make out the Doctor's explanation, none of them noticed the very Doctor walking over a bridge right to a very certain barn.
