> The Time Traveling Dj > by Dj Star Flight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 Birth of a Time Traveler > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A path through time opened as the Tardis shot through it in the time vortex. Inside was the Pony version of the doctor. He was holding on to the control panel as Derpy held the chair behind him as the Tardis was shaking up inside. "Doctor where is it taking us?" She shouted holding for dear life. He looked over shaking his head. "I don't know Derpy but where ever it is the Tardis thinks its important enough for me to look into. Were almost there. Hold on Derpy!" He said as sparks flew around the Tardis as it landed. -------- "AAAAAARGH GRRRR." The mare said on the doctors gurney as she was in the midst of giving birth that day. She was a Unicorn and her husband who was next to her who was a Pegasus was holding her hoof trying to ease her through it. Then the child came and the doctor pony lifted the little filly up with a smile. "Its a mare. A healthy filly mare...and its a Pegasus at that." He said as he went about cutting the umbilical cord, cleaning, patting its back to get her breathing as she didn't cry at all, and then handing the little filly to the mother who smiled as she took her in her hooves. "She's beautiful honey." The father said with a smile as he stroked the fillys head as she looked up at him with a smile. "We should name her." The mother suggested. "Well name her after your mother and use my last name. How does that sound?" "Good idea. Our little Star Flight. Welcome to the world." She said with a smile. Little did the 2 parents know they were being watched from the door by none other then Derpy and the Doctor. "Aw she's so cute....but why did the Tardis take us here Doctor?" She asked in wonder as the Doctor shook his head. "I haven't the foggiest..." He said as he then saw it. A spark of something in the little filly's wings and knew it all to well and he also saw the cutie mark already on her. He then turned to leave. "Derpy come on were leaving." He said as Derpy glanced at him before looking back at the filly who was now looking at her. Derpy smile and left with the doctor. --------- 3 years later Star flight sat in her room staring at the chair on the other side of the room from her bed. She focused on it hard trying to form the thought in her head to the chair as her wings spark as a red ball appeared on the chair which was originally from her toy chest. She smiled as she glanced at her wings which were at attention and sparking. "Wow...I did it. I used magic...." She said silently to herself just as her door opened and her father came in. "Star Flight? Dinners ready. Also we have a guest tonight so be respectful ok?" He said as she smiled and nodded. She came out of her room following her father down to the dining room to see who there guest was. "Ah so this is your daughter? A pleasure to finally meet you Star." A voice said from the table as Star Flight looked up to see the Doctor sitting there with Derpy at his side. She didn't recognize them as she smiled. "Hello mister. A pleasure to meet you. I'm Star Flight." She said as she flew up into her chair at the table across from the 2 as her mother and father came out of the kitchen and took there seats and dinner was served. The Doctor smiled at Star Flight and nodded to her. "Pleasure is all mine. I am the Doctor and this here is my assistant Ditzy doo." He said gesturing to her as Derpy smile. "You can just call me Derpy tho. Everypony does." She said as she made a plate of the dinner for herself as they ate. The Doctor and Stars father were talking among themselves. Stuff about work until Stars mother asked the doctor about what he did. "So what do you do Doctor? You said you worked with my husband. May i ask what?" She asked as the Doctor smiled and brought out a notepad showing it to her but to Star Flight it was blank. "Ah i work as your Husbands supervisor in the cloud factory." He said with a smile. "That's blank." Star Flight said suddenly pointing to the notepad making everyone look at her funny. "Um....honey of course its not. That's his ID for work...are you ok?" Her mother said as Star looked up at her with a look of confusion on her face. She looked back at the Doctor who was looking at her with a look of intrigue on his face and Derpy was just tilting her head. Star Flight looked at everypony at the table and shook her head as she hopped out of the chair and walked back to her room and shut the door behind her. The doctor looked at her parents in wonder. "Strange. I apologize if what i said upset her in anyway...oh my look at the time well i must get going. Derpy lets us depart." The doctor said as he got up with Derpy and stars parents only nodded as they left. The Doctor looked up at Stars window to see her looking down on him from the window. He gave her a quick wave and walked on with Derpy. Star hopped down from the window and jumped onto her bed. "Who is he?....Doctor who...." She said as she fell asleep then. ----------- 5 years later Star Flight was in her class listening to Miss Note Piece talk to the class. She was tuning her out with a pair of invisible headphones in her ears that no one else could hear as she was nodding her head to the tune. It was one of Note piece's new records playing. She knew the teacher well cause the teacher was her best friends mother. Vinyl scratch. She looked over at her friend who sat in class as well as vinyl had her head laying on the desk asleep. Star just grinned and shook her head as Miss Piece came over and tapped vinyls desk with her plastic pointer waking her daughter up from her slumber. "Vinyl dear i know you were not sleeping in your own mothers class now were you?" She said in a nice voice but one that would still send shivers down ones spine. Vinyl gulped and looked up at her mother. "Uh no mother i would never..." But she was interrupted. "Vinyl i would like you to write out a paper about today's lesson by tomorrow for sleeping in class." Miss Piece said earning a groan from vinyl as the teacher walked back to the front of the class. Star smiled as a flash appeared in vinyls desk catching only her attention as she looked in it to see some paper with writing on it. It was a report on the days lesson. She glanced over at Star who winked at her earning a grin from vinyl who bro-hoofed her. "Thanks." Vinyl said. Over the years Star had found out about a strange ability she had from when she was born. She as a Pegasus had the power to manipulate time and space. She could pull things from different points in time and space. Even things from another dimension if she wanted to and she had to power to teleport herself cause of some strange magic from her wings which she figured out came from her mother for some reason who was a unicorn. Over time she honed these skills in private and the only pony who knew of her skills were her best friend Vinyl scratch. She got a little recognition after she had explained to some of the other student about her cutie mark that she had at birth. She had no idea how she had it and had no idea what it meant. She had guessed it reflected on her ability to manipulate time and space. After the bell rang she came outside of the music school she was attending with Vinyl and Octavia. She sat on the playground bench with Octavia and Vinyl as they ate lunch together. "These days i wonder about our lives." Star said as Vinyl glanced at her. "Girl that's deep. Why you thinking like that?" She said as Octavia ate in silence but still listening. "I don't know. Just random thought's flowing through my head. I tend to do that a lot." she said as she noticed a group of filly's and colts coming up to them. 'Another day in paradise.' Star thought to herself as the lead colt came up. "Hey i always wondered. Why is a Pegasus here in a school for musicians. Shouldn't you be in cloudsdale learning weather stuff. You don't belong here with us musicians." He said getting a raised eyebrow from Star. It was common knowledge that the school only accepted Unicorns and Earth pony Musicians with the exception of Star. It was a complete mystery how she got in but it cause quiet the stir in the students when she was the only Pegasus that managed to get in. Star looked at the Stallion and giggled. "Wow i didn't know that the school accepted lunkheads here. What is your problem anyways. Were both music lovers here." She said with a grin which angered the stallion. "LUNKHEAD! I'LL SHOW YOU!" He said as he charged at her but suddenly froze. But he wasn't the only thing that froze. Everything else did as well as Star looking around confused now. "What the!" She jumped down from the seat and walked over to the boy there and poked him making him fall over still in the charging pose. "Things just got weird." She said to herself as she looked back at her friends with looks of confusion on there faces. She then realized they were not frozen like everything else around them. Octavia was the first to speak. "Star....what just happened why did everything just stop?" She asked as Vinyl looked at her. Vinyl knew of Stars abilities but she never saw anything like this. Octavia didn't know anything about it. "Come on before whatever i did makes time continue." Star said walking over grabbing there hooves and dragging them away from the playground and the frozen fillies. As she got far enough away time resumed again and everything unfroze leaving some very confused stallions behind. Star led Octavia and vinyl back into the school then the Q&A began. Little did they know the Doctor was standing on the other side of the playground and saw everything with Derpy at his side. "She just...stopped time....how did she do that Doctor." Derpy asked in wonder. "I don't know yet Derpy but we need to keep an eye on her. A Pegasus with the power to manipulate time and space isn't coincidence and might cause some troubles for the universe." He said as he stood there. He nodded and walked away with her. > Chapter 2 The Notion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Star Flight woke that morning with the sun shining down on her face as she leaned up to look out the window. It had been several years since that event at the music school and now Star Flight had grown up now. She had a job now as a back-up Dj in Vinyls new club. She had her own place as well in Ponyville and lived alone after opting out of staying with Vinyl and Octavia when they moved in together in the same town. She hopped out of bed then and went downstairs into her kitchen. After making her breakfast that morning she sat down just as a scroll appeared before her on the table. She sighed and saw the seal from the princesses on it. Now the reason for this is fairly simple. After awhile Star Flight managed to use her ability to time travel through the time vortex into different times. After one of her random trips through time she ended up getting the attention of the princesses and now there keeping tabs on her travels. She still had no idea why tho. She opened up the scroll and looked over it in wonder. Apparently each letter she got from the princesses was just them telling Star about what they thought about her last endeavor through time. This one was about her trip to see a little Pegasus filly called Snowdrop. (see link in author notes) Apparently she was an important figure head in winter in the past and Star had traveled there to see what things were like in the past. She blankly looked up remembering that time. ------- The time vortex opened up in Cloudsdale as Star flew out and landed perfectly on the cloud. Her wings sparked and the portal closed behind her. She folded her wings up and looked around her in wonder. "So this is Cloudsdale in the past huh? Interesting. Wonder how different music was in this time..." she said to herself. "Not that much different." A voice said behind Star as she recognized it all to well. She turned to see Princess Luna there staring at star with a grin and a little white filly standing next to her. "Um....hi princess." Star said she she smiled nervously. "Oh please don't be so formal Star. Although your not supposed to be here anyways." Luna said as the little filly prodded Luna's hoof. "Um...Princess...Who is that your talking to." The little filly said. Star looked at her eyes seeing she was blind. "Ah this here is an old friend of mine and my sister. Star Flight meet Snowdrop. Snowdrop this here is Star Flight." Luna introduced them as Star smiled and walked up shaking Snowdrops extended hoof. "Nice to meet you snowdrop." She said as she felt Snowdrops hoof was freezing a bit. "Whow...cold." She said letting her hoof go. "Sorry....i was making snowflakes earlier for the princesses." She said with a smile. "Run along now Snowdrop. I have a matter to talk about with Star here." Luna said as Snowdrop walked off. Once she was out of earshot Luna looked back at Star Flight. "Now I've been lenient about your little travels but you could have picked a better spot then Winters start." Luna said. "Yeh sorry about that. I had no idea. Usually i just pick random dates and see whats there. You know me i love to explore." Star said rubbing the back of her head. Luna only shook hers and sighed. "I would suggest you head back home before Celestia finds you. I'll keep this little meeting a secret but you owe me." Luna said as Star gave a quick salute and disappeared quickly. ------- Star sighed as she rolled the scroll up and walked over to the door of her hope and walked outside. She breathed in the fresh air of ponyville and nodded as she took off into the air. Being a Pegasus who has the power to travel through time and space she still likes traveling by normal means to avoid unwanted attention. She knew the princesses were keeping tabs on her and she didn't want there wrath being brought down on her head. She adjusted her blue vest ass she landed on a cloud just above town hall. She looked down on the town and noticed a few ponies she recognized from her little club endeavors. She saw her friend Gash3d talking to living tombstone at the restaurant. She also noticed Pinkie pie talking to Strawberry swirl about some her her strawberries and her cupcakes.(see links in authors notes) She also noticed Applejack at her stand selling some apple products. Star was a daily customer there and always supported the family. She sighed as she flew down to the library and walked in seeing spike doing his usual chores. "Yo spike." She said suddenly startling him. "Whow! Star don't do that. Almost gave me a heart attack. What are you doing here today?" He asked in wonder. "Actually i wanted to see if Princess Twilight was here. I was gonna mess with her a bit and see if she had any books on music through out time." She said with a grin. "Well she's upstairs right now talking to time turner about something. She doesn't want to be disturbed." Time turner? She didn't recognize that name. "Hmm...alright mind if i look around?" She asked as spike nodded. Star spend the next few minutes looking through the books till she heard the upstairs door open and heard a voice she thought she would never hear again. She heard it and ran around the corner looking up in the face of non other then the Doctor. He looked down in a similar fashion standing next to Twilight as she looked between them in confusion. When then on instinct pointed our hooves at each other. "YOU!" "YOU!" We both said at the same time. > Chapter 3 The Reason > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I knew it! I knew there was something strange about you!" Star said with a combination look of both anger and realization. The doctor just sighed and face hoofed. "Look i can explain." "No! I think I can figure it out. You were there when I was young with my father. You and that blank ID with Derpy. Don't think I don't remember cause I see her around still looking young. YOUR A TIME TRAVELER!" She yelled. "Lord." "What?" "Time Lord. 2 completely different things." He said waving his hoof around. "Bull. You were there in the past. I remember Why are you here?" She asked. The doctor just sighed and took a step past her. "I'm here because of you. You see i don't travel through time and space like you. I use a machine called the TARDIS. Translated as Time and Relative Dimension in Space. It brought me to you. I knew what you were and what you would be. I had to keep my eye on you. There's hasn't been a case of a time traveler since my time. I was there when you were born and saw the magic instilled within your body. No normal Pegasus should have this kind of power. You ripping holes in the fabric of time and space at your own convenience. It may not cause any problems but i don't trust you." He said. "So you've been keeping tabs on my travels....wait...it was YOU! You told the princesses about me. That's why there keeping tabs on me. Why you son of a..." She was then interrupted when Twilight came in. "Whats going on here?" She asked looking down on them from the balcony. "Oh Twilight um..." The doctor was caught off guard by this. Star just shook her head and looked up at Twilight. "Sorry Twi. We were just leaving." She said as she headed for the door then turned to the Doctor. "Come on." she said making him follow the mare. Once they were outside and a fare distance away from Twilights abode Star turned around to face the doctor. "Ok so you've been watching me. Why? I think i know how to control my ability well enough to not cause any problems in time. Why am i not to be trusted. Am i just to ignore this ability? Last time i did that my head nearly exploded from the headache i got." She said. "Your messing with powers no pony should have. I'm still trying to piece together how a Pegasus like you can even have these powers. So far as i know Pegasus don't have magic besides there ability over the weather. I've actually been trying to find you for awhile now. I wanted to wait till you were grown up to confront you but after your school years you vanished. I had to ask the princesses to keep an eye out for you through time. No sooner did i do that i found out you learned how to time jump apart from just stopping time. Yes i saw what you did that day on the playground. How you froze time. This is the reason i kept my eye on you. You are an anomaly that shouldn't exist." He then got a hoof to the face for that comment from Star. "How dare you! Who are you to judge what i do. I don't care who you are. I don't even care if your a Time lord. I exist and will exist till i die. Don't you dare tell me i shouldn't exit. I am Star Flight. The time traveling Dj." She said with an angry look in her eyes. "I apologize. I didn't mean to insult." He said rubbing his cheek. "Well you should have thought of that before you said it. Look these are my abilities. I have been very careful about my abilities and made sure to cover my tracks. There hasn't been any problems thus far so i think i can earn a bit more trust from you. Get the Princesses off my back." Star said as she turned to walk away leaving the doctor where he stood. She made her way home then and plopped down on her couch letting out a silent scream into her pillow. After her little session she lay there for an hour thinking over her encounter with the doctor. He didn't trust her with her powers. 'Who is he to judge me?' she thought to herself as she sat up just as she heard a knock on the door. She got off the couch and walked over to open it to see Derpy there. "Oh...Hiya Derpy...did the doctor send you?" She said a bit frustrated. "Um...no i came on my own. I was watching the two of you and came over to apologize for the doctors behavior. He's not usually like that." Derpy said with a smile. "And you would know that better then anyone.....well come on in." Star said as she walked back in and Derpy came in right behind star. "Want anything to drink or a snack Ditzy?" she asked using Derpy's real name catching her attention. "Ah yes please. Do you have any muffins?" Derpy asked. star nodded and brought a few muffins and some water out for Derpy as they sat at the table. "So...How long have you known the doctor?" Star asked in wonder. "Well i would say in my time i have known him for over 2 years now. Were actually dating now needless to say. He gets along well with my children Dinky and Sparkler." "Oh? How are those 2 little trouble makers anyways?" "There fine. Sparkler moved out and became a writer over in Canterlot. Dinky is still with me tho she likes hanging around the doctor. Its like she is a small version of the doctor." Derpy said with a giggle. "I bet...I think i see a bit of him in her. Tho there not related by blood aren't they." Derpy just shook her head. "No there not. There father died long ago. He was a royal guard in Canterlot. He was sent on a mission to investigate a dragon attack on a village over near the badlands...and well....i'd rather not talk about it." She said with a sigh. "I understand." Star said with a smiled patting Derpy on the back. "Well i gotta go. The doctor should be waiting for me. i'll talk to him. See if he can lay off a bit on you." she said as she stood up and left. Star waved goodbye to her and sighed as the door closed. She made a bottle of soda appear before her as she chugged it down getting her mind off the doctor. She spent the rest of her day in her recording room dabbling in music from around time and made a few remixes before closing up and heading to bed early. > Chapter 4 Dizzy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Star woke the next morning and did her daily morning routine as usual. Stretch, shower, eat, and jam out. She never did much outside of time traveling or djing but she felt she needed a change today. She thought about her plans today and nodded just as a light appeared before her and there on the couch sat a little filly she knew. "Heya Dizzy. How was Canterlot?" Star asked with a smile. Dizzy glanced at Star for a moment with an emotionless look on her face then nodded. "It was fine. The Princesses are teaching me quiet a bit but things are good." She said with a sigh as she trotted away. Now most of you are wondering why a little filly is staying with Star well its pretty simple. She was adopted and rescued...from the future. -------- 50 years in the future, The little filly ran down a lone alley on the streets of Manehatten trying to escape the group of large stallions chasing her. With tears in her eyes and her legs hurt from the hits she took from them she ran. To them she was an easy target and they finally had her in there sights. They managed to back her into a dead end alley as she turned with her back to the wall scared out of her mind as they converged on her with weapons out and she prepared for the end. That was until a voice rang out. "HEY WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK YOUR DOING!" The female voice said behind the group of stallions. They heard her and turned to see a teal pegasus mare with a blue and light blue mane and tail and a star cutie mark standing there with her wings outstretched and looking for a fight. The lead stallion came up with a smirk on his face but kept his distance. "Were taking care of a pest on our streets. Whats it to you?" "Whats it to me? I'll tell you what. Get lost and leave the girl alone before i get real mad and bust each and every one of you up." She said which made every stallion laugh loudly then the leader spoke again. "Oh that's rich coming from a Pegasus. What are you gonna do huh? Theirs 1 of you and 6 of us. Get her!" He said as 3 of the 6 came at her but she smiled at there attempt. "You underestimate what you do not know idiots." she said as her wings spark to life with magic making the stallions halt where they were and stare at her. She gave a evil grin and let loose a torrent of Vorpal magic at the group blasting the ground where they stood making each of them fly off in a different direction into the air making each of them land hard. The mare smiled at her work and walked over the stallions groaning on the ground next to the filly who stared back in fear. "Hey theirs no need to be scared. I did just save you after all. Whats your name?" She asked in a kind voice. "Um....I...don't have a name." The filly said. "Well that's no good. Let me give you one. Hows. Dizzy sound?" She asked and the filly now known as dizzy smiled and nodded and that's wen Star noticed that she was a unicorn. "Well i guess that will help. You can call me Star Flight. You want to come with me?" She asked holding out her hoof to Dizzy with a smile again. Dizzy nodded and took her hoof as they disappeared in the time vortex back home. -------- Star sighed at the memory and since then she has been taking care of Dizzy as if she were Stars own daughter. She took the time to learn a bit more about Dizzys race from the princesses and somehow they caught on and decided to help star with it and teach Dizzy themselves about her race. So now every weekend Dizzy teleports to canterlot for lessons from the princesses. She is Stars best kept secret from the world. Not even the doctor knows of her existence which is fine by Star. Dizzy then came back from her room and pokes Star's hoof. "Can we go to Sugarcube corner? I'm kinda hungry and I want to see Pinkie again." She asked with a smile. Star smiled back and nodded. "Sure lets go." Star said as she hopped off the couch she was jamming on and walked to the door just as dizzy hopped up onto Stars back. They then left the house and made there way through town toward Sugarcube corner.
