"Sorry for leaving like that but do you still want to come along?" The Doctor asked holding out his hoof inviting Lyra to grab it.

"Yesyesyesyesyesyes!!!" Lyra said grabbing the Doctor's hoof and shaking it violently.

"What?" Bon-Bon asked clearly shocked by her roommate's sudden outburst. “But didn't he, like, break your heart or something?"

Lyra and the Doctor stared at Bon-Bon for a while then started laughing. "He had a good reason. A very good reason." Lyra said calming down.

"Any stallion would say that to get out of trouble and knowing you, you probably gave him a very verbal lashing." Bon-Bon said looking at the
Doctor's expressionless face.

"I know him... and I believe him completely. “Lyra reasoned

"You only know him for two days!" Bon-Bon said growing more irritated by her over eccentric roommate.

"And I trust him completely." Lyra said bouncing next to the Doctor, the Doctor gave a reassuring smile at Lyra.

"Fine, I'm coming with you." Bon-Bon said determination in her eyes.

"What!" The Doctor and Lyra said at the same time.

"You heard me, I'm coming with. “Bon-Bon said eyeing the Doctor.

The Doctor pondered for a moment before he spoke up. “The more, the merrier, but we don't know where we're going yet."

"We'll figure it out when we get there." Lyra said bouncing away.

Lyra came hopping back."Ummm... Where's the TARDIS?"

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
TARDIS
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"It's...It's...It's..." Bon-Bon said in utter amazement.

"Here it comes." Lyra said to the Doctor.

"IT’S BIGGER ON THE INSIDE!!!"Bon-Bon shouted.

"Finally!" The Doctor shouted back.

"But-But how?” Bon-Bon said rubbing her eyes.

"You wouldn't understand." The Doctor said pushing random blinking buttons. "So where do you want to go? Backwards or forwards in time."

"What? “Lyra and Bon-Bon asked in unison.

"Did I mention this was a time machine? No, well sorry I forgot." The Doctor said looking at Bon-Bon's unbelieving expression.

"I-I don't believe you." Bon-Bon said in disbelief.

"Forwards!" Lyra shouted.

"Forwards, it is then." The Doctor said as he pulled a blue lever.

The TARDIS shook and rattled causing Bon-Bon to trip and fall.

The Doctor looked up, his face beaming with excitement. "Welcome to the year 1302 C&L Reign, That's Celestia and Luna's reign by the way,
The first great Lunar Empire, The greatest cultural and technological advance since the Magical Microwave. "He said as he gestured at the door.

"All yours."

Lyra ran up the door and opened it.

"Wow..." Lyra said seeing as they were standing on a giant building as Celestia's sun began to set and the moon began to rise.

"Look down." The Doctor said pointing downward.

Lyra did as told, she saw cars like the ones in the human world.

"Magically controlled cars." The Doctor said breathing in the fresh air. “It’s eco-friendly unlike the cars on Earth."

The Doctor opened the door on the roof. "Let's go see the sights."

"Wait, What about Bon-Bon?” Lyra said

"Who? Oh right, Sorry forgot." The Doctor went back inside the TARDIS and pulled out the frozen Earth pony.

"Well Bon-Bon believe me now.” Lyra said smugly.

"Bon-Bon, Hello, Universe to Bon-Bon." The Doctor Lyra said pulling her earth pony friend away from the TARDIS. "You said you wanted to come
along."

"Come on, We got a whole new world to explore." The Doctor said trotting along.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
???
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"Your majesty, preparations are almost complete." A high raspy voice said.

"Excellent." A low male voice said." I shall inform my wife, you may take your leave."

"Yes, King Metamorphosis."

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Canterlot 1302 C&L Reign
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
"... And that is how I saved the universe with a Lemon, A Banana and a Coconut against the evil Pares." The Doctor said walking down the street
eating a banana

"...That-That doesn't make any sense!" Bon-Bon said.

"But why didn't you just throw the banana peel at the henchmen?" Lyra asked

"Well, they would have seen it and no one is stupid enough to tempt fate and step on a banana." The Doctor said walking towards the castle
gates.

"Why do have to be stuck with an insane stallion and a crazy mare. "Bon-Bon said to herself.

The Doctor looked at the two guards and flashed a black wallet in front of them.

"The princesses are expecting us." The Doctor said putting his wallet back inside his hat.

They throught the gate and The Doctor turned to look at the mares following him.

"Psychic paper, makes them see what I want them to see." The Doctor said walking through the large castle doors.

They walked into a large chamber adorned with a glass chandelier and several stained glass windows, A tall dark blue Alicorn sat atop the
throne.

"Your majesty." The Doctor said bowing down along with the two mares accompanying him.

"No need to be so formal, Doctor." The night princess said.

"Princess, I advise against being so informal with the subjects." A dark blue unicorn stallion said levitating a checklist surrounded by a dark aura.

"Don't worry, Nightshade, He's a close personal friend of mine."Luna said getting off her thorne and trotted slowly towards them.

"Actually this is the first time we met, well, to me atleast." The Doctor said as he stood up.

"Oh well, I guess no remanissing then." Luna signed. "So what's the problem this time?"

"Oh, nothing really, just travelling with friends and such." The Doctor said gesturing to Bon-Bon and Lyra. "And what better place to stay the night
then a castle."

"Now look here, Good sir, I don't know who you are but the princess cannot accomidate threee ponies on such short-" Nightshade said as he was




cut off by Luna

"Done, Your rooms are on the spectral wing, Rooms 404, 405 and 403." Luna said as she gestured Nightshade to get the keys.

Nightshade reluctanly levitated the keys and gave them to Luna. "But,princess." Nightshade then began to levitate his checklist in front of Luna.
"We have to prepare for the winter night festival."

"We have plenty of time for that."Luna said walking towards the door. "Come, I'll show you the way to your rooms."

The four ponies walked down a hallway lit with eerie blue torches instead of the electrical blubs like the chandelier in the hall.

"I'm not sure about staying here..."Bon-Bon said staying close to Lyra. "Maybe we could stay at a different wing."

"Sorry but all other wings are being used for the winter night celebration." Luna walked towards a wall. "We're here."

"I don't see anything." Lyra said rubbing her eyes.

"Hold on." Luna's horn glowed with a light blue aura, The walls in front of them turned into blue door similar to the TARDIS. "Simple perception
filter and invisibility."

Room 404 was chock full of books, vials and monitor. "This is your room, Doctor." Luna said with a smile.

"This... is... AMAZING, I'll be busy reading and mixing chemicals, haven't done that in a while, Oh, Big shiny red button." The Doctor said as he
pressed the red button and a glass of strawberry smoothie landed on the table. "This place has everything!"

"I'll leave you to your work." Luna said walking out the door with Bon-Bon and Lyra.

Next she went to another wall and dispelled the ward, They walked into the room, a strong aroma of sweets could be smelled in the next room.

"That smells good..." Bon-Bon said licking her lips.

They walked through another door, It was full of all sorts of sweets, Bon-Bon's eyes went wide and started drooling.

A moment later, Bon-Bon jumped in the pile of cupcakes and started eating.

"Dis ish dirisyous!" Bon-Bon said, her mouth was full of cupcakes.

"Let's get out here before she gets ger sugar rush." Lyra said rushing out the door, Luna following closely behind. "She's worse than Pinkie." She
muttered to herself.

Lyra and Luna heard a small explosion inside the room.

Lyra let out a sign. "That was close."

Luna looked at Lyra confused but soon realized that they were travelling with the Doctor, no questions were needed to asked.

They finally went to the last room, there was no ward or magic filter just a door with a lock. Luna went up and unlocked the door.

Lyra went through the door. it was full of books, notes, vials, lab equipment and , surprisingly, a human skeleton and pony skeleton
(fake of course).

"Well, I hope you like your stay here." Luna said with a pleased smile. "Please stay awhile, tomorrow will be the Winter Night Festival."

Lyra nodded. "But I have a question, what’s the 'Winter Night Festival.' "

Luna was a bit shocked at Lyra but soon remembered that Lyra was from the past. "The Winter Night Festival is celebrated at the first snow of the




winter, The Pegasi makes the perfect snow that shine in the sunlight and sparkle under the moon." The Princess of the night looked at Lyra, she
smiled and continued. "They’re also magically infused. They dance around the sky, change colors and tell and act out stories." Luna said as she
noticed the wall clock. "I'm sorry but I have to prepare for the Winter Night Festival." Lyra nodded and examined her room.

Luna walked out the door and started heading towards the throne room.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Later
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The Doctor looked over a few vials on his table. " I think I just made the cure for the common cold..." The Doctor said as he looked over the other
table filled with more vials of different colored liquids. "And 10 new poisons, 15 types of high volatile explosives and 4 types of acid..." He then
glanced over the top of the his study desk. "And 1 new banana-strawberry-chocolate-vanilla-apple flavored smoothie." The Doctor said smiling.

There was a knock on the door. The Doctor opened the door, Lyra stood outside the door looking at the Doctor. "May I come in?" She asked
innocently.

"Of course." The Doctor replied.

Lyra walked and closed the door, she turned towards the Doctor.

"Now that we're alone..." Lyra said in a very sultry voice, eyes fluttering.

The Doctor had a bad feeling about this... a very bad feeling.

"I've missed you so much..." Lyra took a step closer

The Doctor was speechless for once and started backing away.

"I've been so lonely, cold, alone at night, nopony to cuddle with..." Lyra stepped closer and closer.

The Doctor was sweating, he accidentally knocked over a vase, a lamp and his hybrid smoothie. "Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?" The
Doctor said avoiding eye contact.

"It's getting hot..." Lyra stepped closer, The Doctor backed up against the wall trying to find a way out.

Lyra leaned closer, The Doctor could feel her breath on his fur. "Very hot..."

Just then the doors bursts opened revealing another mint green unicorn, the first Lyra's eyes started glowing green and lunged at the other Lyra,
The other Lyra predicted this and revealed a heavy tome and brought down the book on the first Lyra's head, knocking her out quickly.

The other Lyra grinned as the first Lyra bursts into green flames and turn into black insect like creature.

"Changelings..."Lyra said looking over unconscious insect. "They’re not like the ones back during the wedding."

The changeling was wearing armor and looked more muscular then the changelings back during the wedding.

The Doctor quickly recovered. "What is that thing?"

"That is a changeling, they take the form of somepony and feed on love." Lyra said using here horn to tie the changeling on a nearby chair.

"How do you know about them and how did you know I was in trouble?" Doctor asked walking closer to the real Lyra.

"Well, a few weeks back I was mind controlled by their Queen and to answer your second question, you were in my room." Lyra said glancing at
the room's incredibly large mess.

"How did you know it was a fake?" The Doctor asked

"One, It didn't have your silly fedora." Lyra said matter-of-factly.

"Hey!" The Doctor said picking up his hat. "Fedoras are cool, don’t forget that."

"And it didn't have your sad eyes." Lyra said blankly.

"..." The Doctor was silent. "Wait a minute, if you have a changeling in your room and I have one in mine then Bon-Bon must..." Lyra ran towards
Bon-Bon's room, The Doctor soon followed.

They got to Bon-Bon's room. "The door's locked, Doctor, give me your whizzy thing." Lyra said

"Allow me and It's sonic screwdriver by the way." The Doctor said pointing his screwdriver at the lock.

*Whizz**Click*

They walked into Bon-Bon's room and saw another unconscious changeling and a sugar-rushed Bon-Bon bouncing off the walls.

"GET DOWN!" Lyra ordered as she dropped to the ground, The Doctor followed.

"Hey guys, just having some fun before going to bed." Bon-Bon said landing in front of them.

Lyra glanced at the changeling. "How did you take down that changeling?" she asked.

"Well you walked in, not you but the other you, and locked the door and I accidentally hit it over the head with a baguette ..." Bon-Bon said holding
a broken baguette.

"Well, let's get it tied up." The Doctor said.

"I'll go get Princess Luna, don't break anything, Bon-Bon." Lyra said walking out the door.

The Doctor went and tied up the changeling, taking out his sonic screwdriver he scanned the changeling.

"Interesting. They don't seem to have a digestive system instead some sort of organ that picks up some sort of energy."

"They feed on love, silly filly." Bon-Bon said bouncing across the room.

"They feed on what?" The Doctor asked. "She was serious?!?" The Doctor thought.

"Love, all sorts of love, puppy love, friend love, family love, marriage love, mare-colt love, mare-mare love..." Bon-Bon said, suddenly her voice
changed to slightly seductive tone. "...Colt-colt love..." Bon-Bon said, her cheeks blushing a bright red.

Lyra came back with a few royal guards and Princess Luna.

"Guard, Take the changeling away." Luna ordered the guards.

"Looks like we have a problem." The Doctor said.

"They're not just getting food, look at that armor, they're more like soldiers then scavengers." Lyra said eyeing the changeling being dragged by
the large Pegasus stallion.

"Maybe, you can't be sure until we get some real evidence that this is an invasion." The night princess said as she turned towards one of the
guards. "Double the guards and tell them to be alert, they could be anypony." The guard gave a salute and left.

"So what now?" Lyra asked.

"Now, you three get some rest." Luna said gently.

*Yawn* "Well, don't know about you two but I'm pretty beat, I think hitting the hay ain't such a bad idea." Lyra said trotting back to her room.

"I should go back to bed too." Bon-Bon said recovering from her sugar-rush.

"I'm not really tired but I'm going back to my room there's something I need to look into." The Doctor said. "Goodnight, Princess."

"Goodnight, Doctor.” Luna said as she trotted back to the throne room.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Room 404
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The Doctor went up to one of the monitor and checked the security camera footage. "Strange, this part seems to be cut..."

A sudden wave of drowsiness hit the Doctor like a wave. "What? Ugh... my head." he said as he fell off his chair and land, face first, on the floor.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Doctor's Nightmare.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Jack was gasping in pain, his arm bleeding severely.

"You can't do this, Doctor, you'll kill billions of people, think about what you're doing." Jack said holding back the pain.

The Doctor came to his senses. "What? Jack! are you alright? What's going on?" The Doctor said trying to help Jack with his wound.

"You...You don't remember? You set the core of the earth to explode!" Jack yelled.

"What!!!" The Doctor said going over to the TARDIS console. "We have to stop it before it explodes!"

"Oh, Well done, you manage to break free this time." A familiar voice said.

"Who's there!" The Doctor yelled. From the shadows Discord Doctor came out being followed by two Daleks.

"Doctor? What's going on?" Jack asked, his breathing was weak and haggard.

"I have no idea but I'm putting a stop to this!" The Doctor said trying to make the TARDIS fly. "Come on, Come on!"

"Too late, tick tock, Doctor, tick tock." Discord Doctor said.

There was an explosion outside, The Doctor looked at the screen. "No..." The Earth was gone just rocks and dust.

"This is all your fault, y'know." Discord Doctor said, he looked over to the Daleks and said. "Exterminate the human."

The Dalek obeyed and screamed "EXTERMINATE!" The shot rang in the Doctor's ears.

Jack's body went limp, he didn't revive.

"You!" The Doctor said grabbing Discord Doctor by the lapel. "I will end you!"

Discord Doctor laughed. "Good." With that Discord Doctor Disappeared.

The Doctor screamed as he woke up

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Room 404
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The Doctor woke up on the floor, he was full of fear, anger and sadness.

"What's happening to me?" The Doctor said looking at a mirror in the corner.

*Knock**Knock*

The Doctor went up to the door and opened it.

"Hiya, Doctor." Lyra said in her usual upbeat voice, she looked at the Doctor's moisten eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just a nightmare." The Doctor said avoiding eye contact.

"Well, alright, if you say so." Lyra said taking the Doctor's hoof. "Let's get to the celebration, It's about to start."

Doctor picked up his fedora and put it on his head.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Canterlot city square
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

It was high noon, the first snow was about to fall.

Luna and Celestia arrived, looking as majestic as ever.

"Our faithful subjects, we are happy to announce that this Winter Night Celebration will be the biggest one to date." Celestia said, the crowd
cheered as she spoke.

"LET THE FESTIVITIES COMENCE!" Luna boomed over the microphone.

The entire crowd winced with the sudden increase of decibels.

The first snow started to fall, it glowed and sparkled in the sky, changing colors as it dropped to the ground.

There were a few foals in the park, listening to the snowflakes that acted out the second defeat of Discord.

The trio was speechless until Lyra threw a green snowball at Bon-Bon.

"Hey!" Bon-Bon yelled.

"Can't catch me." Lyra said lobbing another snowball.

"Ohhh, It. Is. ON." Bon-Bon said throwing a snowball towards Lyra.

Soon they started making snow forts and a few foals joined in.

"Here's the plan; Shortstop, you fly around and hit 'em from behind-" Bon-Bon said to a small black and grey Pegasus colt, a green snowball
levitated over her head dropped down. "Hey! No magic!"

Lyra laughed and turned to the Doctor. "Come on, Doctor, join in."

The Doctor looked at the unicorn mare and pouted. "I'm not joining."

Lyra frowned until a snow ball smacked her on the snout. "I'm making my on fort!"

Lyra laughed and threw another snowball at the Doctor.

Soon the Doctor made a small fort with a fully functioning automated turret that fired explosive snowball.

Shortstop broke from cover to cover, expertly dodging the incoming projectiles.

"They got a sentry up there." He shouted at his teammates that were lagging behind.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Later that night
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The Doctor was being dog-pilled by the foals.

"Ahahha, stop stop stop, please I can't take it, Ahahaha." The Doctor said as he was being tickled to death.

"Wow, Doctor, you sure have a way with kids." Lyra said picking up the foals with her magic. "Hot-coco?" She offered.

"Thanks." The Doctor took the cup and took a small sip. "HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT."

"Bon-Bon likes it hot." Lyra said with a shrug.

"Hey, you two love-birds, there making an announcement." Bon-Bon yelled as she ran to the center of the park.

"WE ARE NOT LOVE-BIRDS!" Lyra and the Doctor said in unison.

Some of the foals giggled and ran off.

"We should see what's going on." Lyra said trotting towards the center of the park.

Soon everypony in the park was awaiting the princesses for their announcement, The lights on the lamp post began to flicker.

"I don't think that’s part of the announcement." The Doctor said eyeing the platform. Suddenly there was a maniacal laugh coming from the
platform.

"Ah, the little ponies of Canterlot, oh how I waited for this day." Green flames surrounded the platform. The ponies panicked, running away only to
be stopped by a similar green flame.

"It's so amusing to see the ponies scramble around like headless chickens." A tall, dark, form emerged, it looked like one of those changelings,
he had a jagged horn and a very wavy mane.

Shortstop came up to the changeling's face. "Yo, Knucklehead, Where's the Princesses." He shouted.

"For your information, my name is King Metamorphosis." The King said to the little colt.

"Oh, Royalty, Yeah you're real scary, woooo." Shortstop mocked the annoyed King.

"Your pretty little Princesses are in Canterlot dungeon, like there's anything you can do about it." King Metamorphosis said picking up the colt with


his magic.

Shortstop snickered at the so-called 'King'.

"What's so funny?" The King demanded.

"Look at you, I mean look at you, you're like black Swiss cheese or something." Shortstop laughed.

Kind Metamorphosis was enraged by the none stop blabbering from the colt, he threw the colt back to the audience.

"YOU WILL ALL BE DRAINED OF LOVE AND WILL BE REPLACE BY HATERED, RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!" King Metamorphosis said.

"Looks like off to save the day again." The Doctor said raising his sonic screwdriver, the barrier dispersed. "EVERYPONY! RUN FOR IT!" He
yelled, the crowd followed his command except for Shortstop, who hovering by the Doctor's side.

"You will pay for that!" The King Threatend the brown stallion.

"Well get in line buddy, I have so many depts you won't be heard from for a very long time." The Doctor said smiling at the so-called 'King.'

"This is about to get interesting." Lyra said while Bon-Bon cowered behind her unicorn friend.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Canterlot dungeon
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Luna was chained up on the damp wall, The sleeping drug was working.

She couldn’t do magic or feel her hooves, Celestia was still knocked out in the cell next to her's.

"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS CHRYSALIS!" Luna yelled feeling the drowsiness kick in, she soon drifted off but before she fell

unconscious she muttered the words. "Run from the Doctor, Changelings or it will be the last time you see the sun..."
