//------------------------------// // Memories // Story: Dr Whooves: Minequestria // by Tardis of Dr Whooves //------------------------------// Applejack lead the Doctor in the barn and started to pour drinks for them both as the Doctor took a stool and sat himself down to the table. Applejack placed the glasses of apple juice on the table and then sat herself down, bursting with questions. "You must be new here right? Ah've never seen you before." she asked with a small interested smile. "Oh, yeah! Well I’m all over the place really. Adventuring, hopping from one place to the other." replied the Doctor who started to feel excited as he finally had someone to ask him questions. Applejack started imagining what it would be like to constantly move to different locations over and over again. "Do you ever go to meet your family between your travels?" said Applejack, not knowing of the truth of the Doctors past. The Doctor looked, then his hearts started to sink. Applejack took notice of this and asked "What’s wrong sugar cube? Ya'll look mighty depressed." "Oh, well. It's a long story..." he replied with a slightly sad tone in his voice. "Well, ah've got all day! I wouldn't mind hearing a little story." exclaimed Applejack with a hint of excitement in her voice. "Well, I'm not sure where to begin, but I guess I’ll start with basic info of who I really am. I come from the planet Gallopfrey, I'm a Timelord, and I had to put a end to the greatest war in all time and space. The Time War!" Applejack stared blankly at him. "So, your telling me you come from another planet and fought in a large war called a Time war?" she asked with allot of confusion. "Speaking of which, what is the Time war?" she added. The Doctor who knew he was going to have to start from the very begging then started off what would turn out to be a very long conversation. "Well, this other planet called Skaro had 2 different races of ponies, the Thals and Kaleds. I'll give you a brief history on them." And so the Doctor went on about the Daleks and how he was sent to stop their creation and how they waged war on the Timelords. "...so I had to end it. The war was from then on time-locked, which means nothing can get back to it. Not through any means of time travel or space travel. So in the end, they all lost. I'm not just a Timelord....I’m the very last of the Timelords." The Doctor finished off his speech and a single tear rolled down his cheek as he remember all the terrible screams and the fires that raged and burnt. Applejack didn't know what to say. She sat there looking at the Doctor, and she felt sorry for him. "Land snakes partner! You've been through allot, ah'm sorry to hear bout that...." The Doctor gave her a reassuring smile. He knew all too well that Applejack was always honest. "But Doctor, ah do have one more question, how did you get here if your from a different planet?" "Oh, I used the Tardis. The technology of it is far too advanced to tell anypony! But, I’ll give you a run down. It can travel anywhere in time and space. See, it'll dematerialise somewhere and somewhen, and rematerialise in a completely different location or time!" The Doctor was actually starting to feel a little tired from the long speech and explanations. "Tell you what, ah'll pour us another glass of apple juice! You look awfully tired." said Applejack who took notice of the Doctor's tiredness. "Thank you" replied the Doctor. Soon enough they both started having normal conversation and the sun was still blazing over the barn and apple farm. Unfortunately, a very strange tree in the middle of the farm was still unnoticed by anypony! Infact...another tree just like the next one had appeared next to it! But as well as odd looking trees....the pegasus ponies were about to get a huge shock...for although ponies look up at the sky often, none of them have noticed that the clouds are looking a little strange...
