> You're Not Alone ~ The Gifts of Gallopfrey > by MysticStoryThePegasus > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > You've Got Mail! ~ The Gifts Of Gallopfrey > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The TARDIS began to shake gently, and a soft knocking came at the door. "Doctor?" Ditzy Doo, or more commonly known as Derpy,was looking from the door to the brown stallion, a blank, confused look on her face. "Ah, yes. What is it, Ditzy?" The Doctor looked up from doing who knows what. "I think somepony's at the door. Should I open it?" Ditzy shot a curious look at the door, as the knocking came again. It was louder, more panicked this time. "...Knocking. Well, this hasn't happened in quite a while...." The Doctor got to his hooves and trotted to the door, pulling the hinges open. A shining blue box in a glass case was hurtling inward at him. "Ow! Well, that was completely unnecessary..." He picked it up, and closed the door, walking over to the console and placing it down on a slate of metal. "....I've got mail, Ditzy." "...Mail? How can you get mail when we're in space?" "That's the question, Ditzy. And I haven't gotten mail in a very, very long time." "But how can you-?" "Well, It's not regular mail, no, of course not, that's not even mail! It's a hologram! What a surprise!" The stallion placed the box on the floor, pressing an overly sized button with a hoof, that was conveniently placed on top, perfect to press with hooves. "Hello, is this thing on?" A timid voice came from the box, as the image of two fillies were seen, as the image poured out of the cube. A unicorn filly and a pegasus filly, sat in the middle of the room, their eyes affixed on the camera. "Please, If you're hearing this, we are in need of help. We are stranded in a place some call 'Equestria'. We come from the planet Gallopfrey, and are hoping to find more of our kind out there. Please, come. We don't know what happened to our planet, all we heard was an explosion as we left. It's just the two of us. I repeat, please come." The image faded, and the stallion sat there, dumbstruck. "So....We're going to Equestria?" Ditzy turned, looking away from the box and blinking at the Doctor. Ditzy chuckled slightly at him, as he just sat there, jaw dropped wide open, and his eyes wide in confusion and wonder. "...Hello?" Ditzy shook a hoof in the stallion's face. "Doctor? Are you in there?" Ditzy gave him a concerned look, and tilted her head. The Doctor seemed to snap back into reality, just about as quickly as he snapped out of it. "Ah yes, Equestria it is!" He leapt to his hooves, pulling levers and pressing buttons, returning to his excited self. "To Equestria! Allons-y!" Ditzy grinned happily at this, and at the last yank of a lever, the TARDIS sped in the direction of Equestria, more specifically, a town called Ponyville. Off to Equestria to find the fillies. The gifts of Gallopfrey. > The Silver Leaf ~ Galaxy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I scribbled in the book that I held in my magic. I knew I shouldn't, but it IS my book. "Hey, sis! What'cha writing?" I snapped my book shut in annoyance. She always had to be snooping about in my business, didn't she... My younger sister, Milkyway, looked up at me with her innocent smile and a slight tilt of her head. Her way of saying, 'tell me or I'll tell mom you ate the last cookie during lunch'. Hint- Not going to work, sister. "Nothing. I was drawing. It was that green-feathered duck we saw when we went to the pond, okay?" If I even let her see a peek at the page, she's read it in a second. It's a gift. Or as I call it, a pain in the neck. Really kind of gives you headaches, reading that fast. Especially when you're assigned a book to read with an essay to write, it's still pretty boring. Equestria was boring. So very boring. Aside from the exciting event or holiday that came along every now and then, it was truly quite ordinary. I walked to the kitchen, pulling out a chocolate pudding from the fridge and laying a spoon into the bowl. I raced myself upstairs, not literally, of course, and sat on my bed, eating the pudding while writing in my notebook. -And I know there's got to be some more of us out there, I can feel it in my soul. I mean, really. They are there. I keep seeing something, it was blue, a blue box. That, I know for sure. It makes a weird sound, like the wind howling in the middle of a raging, wild Thunderstorm. Strange, really. But it doesn't stay in the same place. It dissapears there, then reappears somewhere else, you know? Like a teleport... I like the sound it makes. It's calming.I wonder if the pony who lives in there likes the noise too? That would be nice. if I meet them, then at least we'd have a few topics to discuss....Like...Something? I wonder if they have a favorite food? My favorite food is hay fries. It's strange though, eating hay. Aren't fries made of potatoes? Well, it doesn't matter. It's time for dinner, anyways. Goodbye, Silver Leaf Diary. And good night to you. Until next time, Galaxy Swirl~ <3 I walked downstairs, a blank look on my face. We were having daisy sandwiches for dinner. I ate quietly, and immediately sat in my bed after.Well, of course I brushed my teeth and all, but that doesn't count. I think. I nestled into my covers, feeling the cool sheets pull over my hazelnut brown fur. I was so very cozy, like the cozy where you don't ever want to move out of bed when you wake up on a chilly school day. I lit my horn, turning on my radio. It plays a few music tracks, but it's the latest version from Canterlot. I listened to the music peacefully as I turned off the lights with another glow of my horn. I curled up, feeling the comfort and safety of dreams entering my mind as I drifted into sleep... > Autumn Lessons ~ Shining Suns > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I slowly rubbed the sleep from my eyes, feeling the warmth of sunlight pour through the window on the far side of the room. I had to force myself out of bed, landing my hazelnut-brown hooves on the hard, wooden flooring. I walked up to the dresser, and opened it with a hoof, pulling out the brush from the bottom left corner of the drawer. I sat down, ran it through my mane and tail, thus untangling what seemed to look like my hair. Mom said it looked like some animals made a nest on my head. I think it looks like a big, poofy mass of cloud. Or even Ice Cream.... I got up from the floor, setting the brush upon the top of the dresser and walked over to my closet. I selected a navy blue tinted saddlebag, and rested it on my back. It sparkled like the night sky. My mom said she casted a spell on it to make it sparkle.I don't believe her. I trotted downstairs, and out the door.I prepared my saddlebags last week. I broke into a little gallop, just to speed things up. Doesn't it feel good to run? I finally made it to the school house, at two, big red doors. I raised a hoof and pushed one open gently, walking inside. It wasn't quiet, I can tell you that. It was the middle of the school year, just about. The room was bustling with chatter, just s I need it. Not much attention on me. Good. No, even better. It was amazingly, absolutely, without-a-doubt, a miracle. "Attention, class! We're introducing yet another filly here today! Say hello to the newest addition to the class, Galaxy Swirl, everypony!" "Hello, Galaxy." The class chimed back. My, these ponies are polite. I waved a hoof back to the class, smiling a bit. Mom said to make a good impression, being our first day, we shouldn't be going and getting off the wrong hoof, now would we? That's why I wave with my right hoof when I'm greeting somepony. Because the other one is the wrong one, of course. I can't believe so many ponies don't know this. "Now, Galaxy. sit where ever you would like. Good luck!" The mare smiled cheerfully. Good luck? Now what in Equestria does that mean? Good luck finding a seat, or good luck in general? Well, I'll find out sooner or later. No problem with waiting. I've got all the time in the world. Literally. All of it! You have no idea... I sat up near the front, next to a window. I like staring out windows, but otherwise it gives off a nice reading light. Also, it was that or a beaten up old desk in the back of class. It sat in the darker, unlit part of the room. It was more than chilly over there. I unlatched the window, letting a breeze in. It was chilly, but cozy. A leaf drifted through the window, lazily landing itself on my head, just behind my horn and right between my ears. I tilted my head, causing the leaf to fall from my head and onto the desk After the first few lessons, we had free play. I just scribbled a drawing in my notebook. I don't draw much, but when I do, I try hard. So I drew a tree. It's not a normal tree, no. It's a tree with silver leaves. I'm not entirely sure where it comes from. it's just stuck in my head. I expertly curved the lines of the roots, making sure no detail was missed.as I sketched the magnificent, glowing tree. It stood thick and tall, with thin, expertly written lines. I took the brown pencil, coloring in what was supposed to be the trunk. I took a red, drawing little bits of moss on the tree at the bottom. I finally took the silver pencil, and colored in each and every leaf. I'm good at drawing, but I wouldn't say I'm too good. Not good enough for it to be my special talent. I mean, when I draw things I can sort of remember, I can draw amazingly. But when I draw something like, a table with a daisy sandwich, it looks like a really little colt sneezed all over the paper. I walked home at the end of the day. I hadn't talked to anypony there, I just let them all pass. Three fillies were discussing something, muttering among themselves, and glancing back to me every minute or two. I think they want to talk to me. I'll see what they were talking about tomorrow at school. They seem nice. > Midnight Panic~ Nighttime Discoveries > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I pulled at the levers, my panicked eyes darting back and forth over the small console of...something. My long, yellow bangs whipped out of my face as I galloped around the room. A flash of blue went by the screen, but I payed it no mind. I scanned the room, as the unexplained thing I was in rocked along, speeding away from the big, burning object suspended in the dark sky. Well, at least I think it's burning. It looks like it, and it's really warm in here. I mean, really warm. Burning, even. I felt myself lurch over, being slammed unexpectedly into a wall. I heard my sides erupt with a crack. I looked at my hooves as they shone with a brilliant yellow glow. I panicked. I don't know what's going to- agh! I felt myself being pulled in every direction at once, and it felt like I was everything at that moment. And it was terrifying. I awoke with a start, my face dampened with sweat. "Just a dream...." Whatever it was, it was terrifying. I got up, pushing myself into a sitting position. I let my back legs dangle off the edge. I looked at my clock. 12:14 A.M. Great. I pushed myself off the bed, landing on my face in an unsatisfactory position. "Seems like I got on the wrong side of gravity's mood today.." I trotted down the stairs, being careful not to wake my sister or my mother. I managed to reach the kitchen without disturbing anything. I opened the fridge, struggling slightly to open it with my magic instead of entangling my hoof in the handle. It takes me about half an hour to get my hoof out of there. Daisy sandwiches....Leftover hay fries...A small container of carrot soup... I took the container in my magical grasp, bonking the fridge with my side to close it. I set the soup into the microwave, setting it and walking off to my special window. We installed it a little while after we moved, specifically for me and my sister. But I hang around it the most. I gazed out at the stars, my eyes glistening. The stars shone brilliantly, and I am positive that I saw a few shooting stars go by. I got up, hearing the microwave finish my food with a signature 'ding!' that comes with every microwave ever built. I poured the warm, smooth liquid into a bowl, gently placing a spoon in i and jumping up to the table. Obviously I took a few bites, but anyway, it wasn't that big and I had gulped it down in a matter of minutes. I felt the heart-warming liquid pour down my throat with every bite. My ear twitched. Something wasn't right. There was somepony coming... Who would be up in the middle of the night? Oh wait....Me. I dashed to the window. A blazing, burning object was falling through the sky. To my calculations, the object should be landing in about....two minutes, and will land.... About forty-five yards away from my house. I got up again, grasping my saddlebags in my teeth and tossing in a few sandwiches, a first-aid kit, and a bottle of milk. Who knew, maybe there'd be hungry ponies there? I dashed outside, my saddlebags loosely wrapped around me. I heard the obviously large object crash, and I skid to a stop at the crater. My eyes widened at the sight. In the crater lay a large, rectangular prism box. It was a peaceful, amazing shade of blue, and if I looked close enough the black letters on a small white bit read: 'POLICE public call BOX'. I tilted my head. Where had I seen this thing before... I shook my head. No need to be confused, there has got to be ponies inside! I can sense it! I took a step back, my eyes widening as the door swinged open, and a brown, cinnamon-ish hoof extended from the box. "Oi, Ditzy! Don't breathe in the gas, I think we've landed! C'mon, out you go!" I saw a stallion emerge from the box, the owner of the brown hoof. His mane was darker, but still brown, and his eyes were...sort of a blue color... I saw the stallion begin to pull on a grey hoof, and I think he signaled me over. "Hey, filly! Could you lent me a hoof here?" I was taken aback, but I dashed forward a bit and began to help the strange stallion pull the other pony out of the box. I stumbled back as we had gotten the mare out of the thing. My, some ponies were as heavy as.... A couple book-bags, at least. The stallion smiled at me and I rubbed one of my hooves carefully. "So, you are?" I heard him say. I gathered my thoughts together. "Galaxy. You?" "I'm the Doctor, nice to meet you, Galaxy!" I smiled and shook his hoof, metaphorically sighing in relief that he wasn't some kind of mad man, now that would suck for me. "Well, I have some stuff in my bag anyway, so if you're hungry...or something..." I blinked at the stallion's expression. It seemed strange. "What?" "No, 'Doctor Who'? Nothing? Not even a.. 'What's this box thing doing in my yard?'? My..." "It's all strange and what not, but it's none of my business." I chuckled, sitting down. This was going to be a long night. > Friendly Chat ~ Tales Of Stars > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "....So..." I looked up. "Hm?" I replied to the brown stallion, pulling a blank face. "...Why aren't you surprised that my TARDIS had crash-landed into your front yard? I mean, I know you're a filly and wouldn't be very concerned about almost-impossible things happening, but why aren't you scared? I mean... Two strange ponies crash-landing into your front yard in a strangely-big blue box? I mean, come on, you have to be at least a tiny bit curious!" "Meh, this is pretty much a normal day for everypony else, I shouldn't see why I should be scared. Besides, I could sense that something was coming. I don't get that a lot.... Other then when I'm around my sister." I shrugged, lifting a cup of hot chocolate to my mouth, and gulping down some of the warm liquid, smiling softly as it went down my throat. "...You....Sensed us?" The stallion wore a face of confusion and absolute wonder. Am I supposed to feel proud that I made him amazed? "Yep. That's what I said, isn't it? Seriously, keep up with the conversation." I rolled my eyes a bit, popping a marshmallow in my mouth and chewing quietly. "...Ditzy, have you ever heard of ponies...sensing....things?" The Doctor whispered to his wall-eyed friend, looking slightly worried as he spoke. "Not that I know of, Doctor." The mare known as 'Ditzy' replied softly. "..I see." I raised an eyebrow at their odd conversation, but shrugged it off. Some ponies are just.... really...weird. "So...Er...Galaxy, was it?" The Doctor spoke up. So now they want me to talk to them? "Yeah, that's my name." I rolled my eyes once more, turning to look at him. "How did you...Sense...Me and Ditzy? Like...How did it feel, so to say." "Well.... A little blip in the back of my head. Sort of a little ping in my mind that told me something was there... Sort of a familiar ping, like when you see a pony you've met before then start searching through your mind for their name, but you can't remember. Weird, really." "....Erm...Doctor?" Ditzy looked over at the stallion, one ear down, one ear up. Sort of like a confused puppy. The stallion turned back to his....let's her his...companion? Ah, yes. That's the word. The stallion turned to his companion, whispering something into her ear. "Ah, Galaxy. Could you excuse us for a moment?" I looked back at him. "Take all the time you need." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Opening ~ The Watch > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I heard the soft tap-tap of hoof-steps as the two made their way back into the room. "Hey again, guys." I said, turning to loo at them. I've only known them for a few hours, but I think I can trust them. "Ah, Galaxy, hello again." The Doctor said, sitting down at the table again. He took a small sip of the coffee I had tried to make for him. I suppose I should be pleased with myself. He hadn't spit any of it out. He looked up, and suddenly I felt an aura of seriousness fall over the room. "Galaxy, do you own any watches, perhaps?" I looked up. This was an odd question. Why would he care If I owned a watch? "Well, yeah, actually. I keep one in my mane all the time. I don't see the point of a watch wrapped around your hoof..." I pulled out an old fob watch, examining it. Why is it so hard to see? Like I'm looking through it... "Can you open it?" "Well, It's been broken for awhile now. I doubt it works anyways..." "Could you try?" I looked up at the stallion, seeing a glimmer of hope flash in his eyes. He looked...Old. "...Alright....Fine.." I looked down at the watch, igniting my horn with a darker green hue, trying to wrap my levitation magic around the cool, metal surface of the watch. My magic finally touched the object, and it canceled out. Blinking in confusion, I lighted my horn again. I failed to levitate the simple watch. "Hmm..." I picked the watch up in my hooves, seeing the strange writing on the back. I blinked, then clicked the button on the top, and, to my surprise, the watch snapped open. For a moment, nothing happened. Then a flash of burning light struck me in the chest, and things flooded back to me.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Don't touch it! It'll kill you!" "EXTERMINATE!!!" "Agh!" "DELETE!! DELETE!!!" "No! Get back! Get away from my sister, you bucking metal freaks!" FWWWWWWWWWOOOOSHHHH! "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Oh...my..Are you alright? Galaxy, can you hear me?" "Doctor, I think she's waking up...." "Galaxy? Hello? Galaxy?" ..... I arose from the floor, smiling sarcastically. "Ah, hello again, everypony! I'm," I said with an excessively happy tone. "The Unseen." ...It faded into black... ...Again... > Passageway To The Mind ~ Grass And Bricks > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Doctor sighed, glancing over at the now teenage-mare. He put a hoof atop her head, giving her mane a ruffle before arising from the bed, and walking into the kitchen. "Hey, Doctor? I think it's ready, it's all bubbly and golden like you said..." Ditzy said, staring into the clear, glass bottle that had been clearly made for potion-making. The stallion must have great trust in the wall-eyed mare to let her mix up this complicated brew. "Ever so carefully..." The stallion lifted the brew in his hoof, walking it over to the sleeping mare. "..Hm..huh?" The mare stirred as the potion was brought to her lips. "Shh...Shh...Just drink this...It's okay...Shh...." The mare slurped down the liquid, feeling a tingling, warm sensation fill her body as she fell back asleep. "Good... She's asleep. Now, Ditzy, how would you like to accompany me into the mind of this young pony here?" The Doctor stretched out a hoof, and Ditzy took it. "Don't mind if I do!" The two touched the young ponies cheeks with their hooves, then felt themselves be...evaporated, would be the word. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The two awoke, hearing the sounds of strange, singing birds as they flew by in a flash of silver. "Oh...Celestia...Where are we?" Ditzy arose from the ground, the Doctor already up and about. "Well...We appear to be in the very far past of Miss. Unseen's mind. Or we teleported into an alternate universe that looks quite like my old home in Gallifrey..." "Gallopfrey?" "No, Gallifrey. What Is It with ponies and these puns?" "What are...Puns?" "Oh, never mind." They wandered throughout the vast and wonderful scenery, only to hear the sound of hooves-on-grass to hooves-on-stone. "Doctor-" Ditzy began, only to be interrupted by the stallion himself. "Ah, here we are! The main hallway! Let's see....Childhood....Secrets....Important Memories...Significant Memories?" The Doctor curiously furrowed his eyebrows at the door, obviously it lead to another hallway, of which they were definitely going down. "Hey, Ditzy! I think this is it!" The Doctor swung open the door...Only to find.... A brick wall. > For Whom This May Concern ~ Be Careful > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...And a note. Taking the note in his hoof, he read aloud.... "For Whom This May Concern, To your right is the true door to the hallway. If you enter said door, I know what you're looking for. I advise you to be very, very careful. For if I remember all too well, so it will be dangerous. Metaphorically Signed, The Unseen." The stallion put the note into his saddlebags, feeling the serious tone enforced into the note. Hesitantly, he pushed the door open with a hoof, his wall-eyed companion gliding slowly after him. As he reached the last door in the room, the stallion frowned. "...Ditzy?" Ditzy looked at him, her eyes burning with curiosity. "Yes, Doctor?" "...Could you...Could you wait here for a moment?" "Oh...Okay, Doctor. I'll just...Wait over here..." The mare said. Even though she tried to hide her disappointment, it was plain to his ears. But nonetheless, he continued. Putting a hoof on the crisply burnt, red grass before him, the Doctor looked up, seeing a mossy-green earth pony with a bright, yellow mane, and reddish eyes that were almost hidden by her mane, and a pegasus filly with a dark purple coat and a mane that resembled the night sky. The two were out of breath, and a Dalek stood between them and the few escape routes possible. "Milkyway, look!" The filly pointed at something, the Dalek turned to look, and the young filly grabbed her sister's hoof and ran for her life. They reached a silver tube, or what is called a TARDIS, and they left as quickly as they could.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A Good Whacking ~ Get Out Of My Head! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The stallion walked backwards slowly, exiting the memory. "Oh, hey Doctor, you're back!" Ditzy smiled, getting up and trotting over and grinning at him. "Ah, hello Ditzy! How long was I gone?" The Doctor smiled, leading the way to nowhere in particular. "About half an hour, at most. I think I lost count on the wall... Using my hoof to scratch the wall isn't a good idea.." "Well, the wall is made of her mind, and time energy which is used to protect her memories from harm, and the wall can not be breached, if only by us being here too long, or bonking her head too hard, or the Chameleon Arch...Or-" The bubbly mare giggled to herself as the stallion rambled on about all of the possible ways that the mare's memories to be breached, harmed, or destroyed in any way. "Hey, Doctor. What's this door?" "Hm?" The two trotted up to a red door, one that was decorated with a silver-leafed tree. "Ah, well Ditzy. Do you know what this means?" The Doctor smiled smugly, resting a hoof on the doorknob. "What does it mean?" The stallion turned the knob, pushing the door open. "We'll never know until we go inside!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A mare stirred on the couch, her left ear flicking silently as she slept, peacefully dreaming. "But..Doctor..This is exactly how we left her.." The stallion walked around the couch, occasionally poking the sleeping mare, or trying to shake her awake, only for his hooves to phase through her sleeping body. "Ditzy, as we see her now, we are .999999 seconds behind normal time. This is what is happening about a few milliseconds after it actually happens." "....Uh...What?" The stallion looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "We are seeing her doing what she has already done." "Oh, okay!" "Ditzy, on the other hoof..." "Huh? Oh, what is it?" "...Have ponies ever been this...transparent? And...wobbly?" "...Erm....Not the last time I-" BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!! "-CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECKED!!!!!!!!!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Unseen's P.O.V I gazed down at the two ponies. I had tied them up right when I woke up. How dare they wander about through my mind like it was their playground! My sister, Milkyway walked downstairs as I stared at them. "Sis? What're you doing up so..." She yawned. "..Late? Galaxy?" "Milkyway, you silly, silly mare. It's me! That old Chameleon Arch must've gotten to your-" "Unseen!" I paused- hugging my younger sister back as she clung to my neck. "Now, for these two.." The stallion groaned, attempting to peel the tape off of his mouth. Only for me to do it for him. "Now, talk." I said, keeping a strong, strict tone. "About what?!" He shouted. At me. "I ask the questions here, feather brain!" I gave him a good, hard slap to the face with my hoof. I'm fairly sure I saw one or two teeth go flying out of his mouth. "You didn't have to hit him!" The grey mare, Ditzy, shouted. I walked up to her, and leveled eye-to-eye. "Would you like me to do the same for you?" I smiled gently with satisfaction as the mare shrunk back in fear. "Don't you DARE speak to her that way!" I turned back to the stallion, rearing up on my fore-hooves and giving him a well-deserved buck to the side, slamming him against the wall. "Now, why were you in my head." "..." "Answer me!" I shouted, glaring. He only muttered a sentence before he blacked out from the punch I was about to give him. "We're Timelords...." > Very British : Talks And Tea > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------Unseen's P.O.V------------------------------------------------------------- I froze, my hooves merely inches away from his face. My hearts raced at an un-countable pace. "Well, that struck a nerve." I heard the stallion mutter. I whipped my head around, my glare staring into his eyes, out noses about two inches away from each other. I took my dignity by moving away two more inches. But I held my stare. "We're?" I said, practically spitting the word. "As far as I know, me and my sister are the last ones about, sir. So I would suggest you get to the freaking point of this conversation, or I will kick your brown-furred flank into next week! YOU GOT THAT, BUB!" I ended it by igniting my horn, re-wrapping the ropes around his body. I looked to his friend, the wall-eyed mare. "Ma'am, would you like some tea? I believe you would be the more reasonable one in this situation. Your stallion friend has proved to be barely any help." I said, my eyes neutral and my mouth in an inviting smile. "We're-We're not..." I heard the stallion studder, and a light coat of pink appeared on the mare's cheeks. She nodded at the offer of tea. I lit my horn, taking grasp of the securely-tied ropes that had been on her. She smiled as they had been removed. The singing of a teapot could be heard, and it was served accordingly. "Now," I said, sitting down across from the mare, who was gently blowing on the tea. "Why were you two in my head?" I decided to go easy on her. She is a pegasus, after all. Their bodies and wings are very light, and easily can be brought down. She looks kind enough, anyways. "The Doctor was going to say, but okay. Like he said, he's a Timelord, like you and your sister." The mare said. I almost stopped her, but she silently pleaded for me to let her go on. "He wanted to make sure you were okay...And how you got to Equestria. We know of two others who survived....whatever it was...besides you and your sister." I nearly jumped onto the table. "Others survived too?" I kept my sitting position, though my hooves refused to stay still, so I went to get more tea. The mare nodded to my response, and afterwards, we heard a call fro the living room. "You know, that tea and the way you're talking...Ha! So British..." I scoffed at the stallion, rolling my eyes. "If what the mare says is true ("Hey, I have a name!") then you are very immature for your age..." "Oh, come on! What's the fun in being a grown up? It's much more fun being the way I am, you know! " "Uh huh..." "It is!" "Yeah, whatever.." > Cold Hopes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Unseen's P.O.V ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I sipped my tea casually, putting my hair up in a ponytail. Best keep it off my neck for awhile, ehy? Yeah... I look back at this 'Doctor' stallion. I'm told he's a Time Lord...But can you really believe in the things you're told? I was told that my species and those dreaded lumps of metal could eventually get along. But yeah, see how that worked out? Stuck on a planet, taking care of my sister, with no social skills whatsoever. Yeah. Not a good thing. So, being the mare I am, I pull out a book, light my horn, and X-Ray this stallion, who has appeared to have fallen asleep on my guest bed, beside his companion. She's a nice pick, I'll give him that. Hey, he's a Time Lord alright. All I need to know. I blink at them for a moment, then I throw a blanket over them. I mean, whatever... I look over to the window, my eyes scanning the stars and galaxies above. Too bad my TARDIS didn't survive the fall down. If it would've, I would've given the Scarlet System a look. You know, I've heard it's nice there. Very well populated. I wonder if- "If you wanted to X-Ray me, I would've let you. You didn't have to wait until I was asleep." I turned to look at him, a smirk plastered onto my face. "Sorry, Doc. I had to make sure you weren't pulling my chestnut-colored leg." I rolled my eyes. 'Now, insult and smile.' "Besides, It's not like you could do anything about it. Sleeping next to your wall-eyed pegasus companion. You two looked simply cozy and adorable, If I do say so myself." "Why, you little-" I heard him start."Adorable? Really?" I shrugged, flicking my tail. "Meh. That's all I've got." I said, walking into my room as I heard him snicker. Stallions can be so immature sometimes...
