The Doctor takes to the stars in this fourth installation of the Doctor Whooves Series.
When the TARDIS is unexpectedly pulled off course during her first foray into the wider universe, the Doctor, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and a somewhat-reluctant Twilight find themselves brought to the doorstep of a utopian alien city. While Rarity and Pinkie immerse themselves in two opposite ends of the local culture, questions that have gone unasked for centuries draw Twilight into the shadowy labyrinth of intrigue and deception that sustains a delicate balance of power in this "perfect" society. A balance that some will go to any lengths to preserve.
And as the mystery surrounding the cryptic messages left in the Doctor’s path continues to unfold, will the growing schism of distrust between Time Lord and Friendship Scholar over unspoken secrets cost both ponies more than either of them are prepared to lose?
====================================================
"Only Skin Deep" is my fourth Doctor Whooves Episode and the sixth in the expanded "Number 12" continuity begun by the inspirational Squeak-Anon.
It is strongly recommended to read the following fics here on FIMFiction.net before proceeding with "Only Skin Deep."
1- Number 12by Squeak-Anon
2- Traveler by Squeak-Anon.
3- The Pinkie Conundrum
4- Game of Stones
5- Along Came a Spider
Comments and critiques are very much desired and let this crazed writer-pony know that the herd does indeed care.

Why are we only allowed to thumbs up once? Come on people, this story needs fuel!
Wooo It's here it's finally here!! WOO HOO!! *Dances in celebrations!*
Whoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great characterization with Rarity and her parents, I can't wait to read the rest of this. You continue to impress me with your ability to write stories that feel like believable episodes of both My Little Pony and Doctor Who, and I say this as someone who is a big enough fan-dweeb about both things to have added to the TV Tropes for them.
Poor Rarity.
I rather enjoy the differences between Rarity and her parents, and I like the way she finally snapped at Talk Down. She's better than I, I would've snapped much earlier. Either way, a good beginning to the story.
Huh? Whoah whoah whoah!
I READ this already! I know everything that happens! I know what happens in.. at least the next 2 chapters, if I remember correctly.
How do I know all this? DID I SEE THE FUTURE?!
VICTORY IN THE FEATURE BOX!
Thank you everypony. You know what? I'm so excited, I'm gonna do a little dance.

BEST WRITER EVER YAY!
Liked and favorited even before I opened the chapter.
Normally, I'd wait until a couple chapters in, but I'm more than confident in your ability to deliver a story that goes above and beyond.
I await further chapters with an impatient glee.

YEAH!!! I'm liking how this started. Lets see where it goes but with you it's sure to be brilliant.
Yay
My face when I saw this was up:

...I'm so excited
YAY! More Doctor is always a good thing. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go arrange an industrial accident for some members of nobility. The Doctor wouldn't approve but that's the price I'm willing to pay to ensure that Rarity life isn't ruined by those petty morons. Now where did i put that industrial strength adhesive?
There's one thing I just don't get: why did you continue the series when you haven't even completed "Traveler"? I think you should finish that before continuing this story.
Nevermind, 2dextreem explained it to me.
1294313
Are you even paying attention? Traveler was written by another author entirely... These stories are just based off his work.
1294322 Oops.
1294313 Oh, I didn't write Traveler.
Please allow me to clarify. Number 12 and Traveler are both by Squeak-anon, who has graciously given me permission to branch off of his stories into a separate continuity while he focuses on his audio-plays, which can be heard on Celestia Radio and Youtube. My series and his continuing series share the same roots, but diverge after the events of Traveler. While I took some vague liberties with the 'as of yet unpublished' ending of that fic, The Pinkie Conundrum was given full approval by Squeak before it was posted almost a year ago.
Hell, yeah !!,. pinkie pie will be in this one
!! 
1294313
I'm workin on it!
1294969 And I do believe he still approves of me.
1294993
I do indeed, still need to find time to read Along Came The Spider, but love, the previous two, you'd done a fine job continuing my universe.
Wanna write a Doctor Whooves Adventure short by the way?

Lookin' good. Wish there was time for me to read your other DW stories, but there're just too many fanfics on my plate, so I'm-a gonna start here. And I can already tell this is going to be a fun ride.
