The Spread

Alternate End (Happy Ending)

"I got you the snow globe, just like I promised." Were Rarity's last words before she heard someone behind her.

"This can all be fixed you know?" The unicorn turned around and saw a chestnut brown earth pony with a spiky mane and an hourglass for a cutie mark.

"Doctor? What are you doing here?" Rarity asked.

The Doctor just smiled and walked up to her. "Well, s you know, I am a-"

"You're a time traveler, yes I get that. You told me that story. If you're suggesting that we go back in time and prevent any of this from happening, forget it. I don't know as much as you about time, but I do know that the smallest change in the past can drastically change the future. Also, I thought your time machine left you?"

"Ah, yes. About that:

"Apparently, Derpy managed to bring it here just a few minutes ago. She never died, but she was bitten. What took us about 6 months took her only a couple of hours. When she got here, I gave her the cure and started taking back control of the TARDIS. She supposedly dropped the zombie off into space by accident. After that, she tried to pilot the TARDIS from what she's seen me do. It took her a couple of hours, but she made it. A bit late I might add, but she made it.

"And here I am. The TARDIS is right over there" He pointed to a big blue box,right outside the cemetery. "So why don't we go and change all of this. Just this once, Rarity, everypony lives." Rarity tried to take in all of this. Did she want to risk changing the future just to get her friends and family back?

"Let me ask you something." Rarity started, "What gives you the right to change this future and make everything better?"

The Doctor just smiled. "You know, you aren't the first one to ask that. Let me just answer your question as simply as possible. Whether you understand my answer or not is a different story." The Doctor's smile got even bigger. "I can change this part of history, because this isn't a fixed point in time."

Author's Note:

You'll only understand what the Doctor means by "fixed point" if you watch Doctor Who. Sorry for the inconvenience of a happy ending for any non Whovians, but at least you have the sad ending.

Just a small warning, I'm not good at writing stories. I'm an artist, not a writer/author. Just thought I'd tell you all that. So don't expect anything amazing from my stories. Maybe, don't even expect anything good.

You wrote something that forms, or at least attempts to form, a story.

Therefore, you are an author.

I am not a Whovian, but I did research on what "Fixed points" are and found this info at / http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Fixed_point_in_time / Fixed points in time were moments in the space-time continuum at which events were set in stone and could never, ever be changed, no matter what. The Time Lords knew which points in time were "fixed", which the Ninth Doctor said was a maddening experience to have to go through. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) This was called "the burden of the Time Lords" by the Tenth Doctor, who was trying to explain to Donna why he couldn't prevent Mount Vesuvius from erupting or save the people of Pompeii. (TV: The Fires of Pompeii) //// For something to be a fixed point a event had to be known and or written down before the actual event happen. If a fixed point was tampered to much it could make reality fall apart because the universe itself does not like its "fixed points" to be altered to the extreme! The attack on equestria was not in anyway decided by the universe and was not a fixed point so its ok to drastically change that point in time. I'm not a Whovian but I think I got it right for other non-whovians to understand.

3861388 Just that Doctor Who reference was enough to make me call you one of my top 5 authors. Well done, and thank you, I very much enjoyed the ride.... not so much Sweetie's death, as, other than Discord, she's my 2nd fave, Flutters being my first and Discord being my -1st. He's so awesome that he broke the charts and made another no.1!
