As the Doctor waits patiently outside the door, Minuette slowly steps out of the TARDIS and marvels at the massive city.
"Wow. This place is huge. How come the city is covered with a giant dome?"
"It keeps out the harsh dryland weather. Otherwise we'd be living underground on account of the heat and lack of anything habitable for miles.The one thing I share with the Time Lords is my desire to NOT live in the desert. Any other questions before we move on?"
"Are we going up there?" She points to the top of the tallest tower.
"I am. You're going down there." The Doctor in turn points at the bottom of the same tower.
"What!? Where's the fun in that. I don't want to wait there."
"Sorry. Not my rules, and the Time Lords get rather grouchy when I don't follow rules. Now let's go. I shouldn't keep Romana waiting."
"Fine."
As they make their way down the street, Minuette takes in the sights.
"Wow. You grew up here?" She asks.
"Nope. I grew up in a little farmhouse outside the city. When I say little, I mean little. Well, little to me, average to you. Maybe slightly below average. In relative terms, the farmhouse is about the size of half Applejack's barn. Maybe a bit smaller..." Before he continues rambling, Minuette grabs his shoulder and turns him toward her.
"Doc, I get it. It was small. You have more important things to worry about right now." Looking ahead past the Doctor, she adds, "Like them."
Suddenly, two stallions grab onto the Doctor from behind and spin him around towards the tower.
"Lady Romanadvoratrelundar requests your immediate presence." The first says.
"She says you have been lollygagging for too long." Adds the second.
"I was getting there. My friend and I were taking a look around first. Visitor from Equis. It's her first time to Gallopfrey." He points to Minuette, and one of the stallions grab her arm and pull her along as well.
"Hey! I can walk myself!" She tries to resist, but eventually relents.
They approach the main entrance to the tower, and the stallions release their grips.
"The Doctor is to immediately head up to Lady Romanadvoratrelundar's office. The Equissian mare is to stay in the lobby." The escorts announce, before leaving through the front entrance.
"Wait. Equissian mare? What's that mean?" Minuette asks.
"Mare from Equis. I thought that was rather obvious. Anyways, have fun. I've got a meeting to get to." The Doctor enters the elevator and gives one last wave, before the doors close.
Minuette sighs. "Fun. Ha. The only fun I could have would be sneaking up the tower." She quickly looks up, a smirk growing on her face. "Welp. Looks like I know what I'm gonna do today."
