Say hi, Sweetie.” “Hi” “If you found this, it means something has happened to us. All we know is that something happened to the box and we aren’t in Equestria anymore. We are trapped. The box left us. We are surrounded by unknown creatures. So I should probably get into the story of how we got here. Sweetie, where should I start?” “Start the day before we found the box.” “Okay.” “It started out like any normal day, with school. I don’t remember, nor do I want to press into what we learned. What did happen (that was important) was that I asked Sweetie out on our first date. Yeah, we had played video games and everything together before, but it had never just been us. So I decided that I would take her on a picnic into the Everfree Forest to show off my manliness (Sweetie, stop snickering! I’m manly!). So I asked her if we could go on a picnic, just the two of us. I didn't tell her where we were going. Which was my first mistake.” This is how I remember it going. “As we walked toward the picnic, I tried my best to keep my cool. I may of played a cool act, but I was terrified.(There i admitted it, Sweetie. HAPPY NOW!?) We were always told to stay out of the forest.” “The Cutie Mark Crusaders and I went in there once and met a cockatrice. I was scared stiff.” ‘I was getting to that, Sweetie. Now, we had been told this all the time, but of course we didn't listen. Well, as we were walking out of town, I think Sweetie realized where we were going.” “I did!” “Because she started trying to stop me. Thinking back I should have listened.” “YOU THINK!?!?” “Sweetie, be quiet. Someone’s outside. Okay, they're gone. Now, where was I? Oh, Right! I was explaining just before our picnic. So I decided that this was my idea. I’m not going back. As we walked towards the forest. I knew something was up. That box should not have been….there.” EERrwWwoooooSHHHhEERrwWwoooooSHHHhEERrwWwoooooSHHHh “Sweetie, something’s coming! Sweetie? Sweetie!?!?” “You need to sleep now, Button?” “But, Sweetie...Sweetie needs my… help.” “We'll find Sweetie. You need to sleep.” “HI BUTTON!” “Der...Derpy?” *ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZPPP* *THUMP* “BUTTON!” “You need to sleep too, Sweetie Belle.” *ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZPPP* *THUMP* “If you are listening to this, Button and Sweetie are safe.” “Trust me. I’m The Doctor.” *End Recording* > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Trust me, I'm The Doctor.” “Doctor, I have a question.” “Yes, Ditzy?” “Why do you end conversations with that phrase?” “I don’t know. It just feels natural. As long as we are asking questions, How does this young colt know you?” “Oh, he’s from Ponyville. His name is Button Mash. The filly is Sweetie Belle. Her big sister is Rarity.” “What are they doing in an alien canyon?” “I don”t know. Ask them.” “Great idea. Help me get them in the TARDIS.” Uh. My head.Button thought as he woke up. As he opened his eyes, he realized(though he was in a soft bed) he was not in his room. “And just when I thought this was a dream. But if its not a dream, where am I?” As he looked around, he saw on the small table beside the bed, his tape recorder…and a small note. The note had four words written on it. “Curiosity killed the cat.” At that Button began to remember everything that happened before he fell asleep. “Ahem.” Button turned around to see the brown stallion that was there when he fell asleep. “Thought I would introduce myself.I’m The Doct-” “Where is she?” “Excuse me?Where is who?” “WHERE IS SWEETIE!?” “Sweetie is fine.” Button let out a breath he had not known he had been holding. “I’m Button.” “I’m The Doctor.” “Doctor Who?” “How I love to hear that. Oh and welcome to the TARDIS. Feel free to explore if you feel up to it.” “How long was I out?” “Two weeks.” Button’s heart dropped to his hooves. Sweetie had been awake for a week now.So far, She had made muffins with Derpy, Found out what TARDIS meant(Time And Relative Dimensions In Space), Gone swimming, and Dozen of other exciting things. But every day she visited the arcade, hoping to find Button there. Every time she asked Derpy(whom she had become friends with) about him, Derpy dodges her questions. So her goal today was to find Button. “Two weeks? How can I have slept for two weeks?” “The sedative Ms.Hooves used on you was adaptive. Adrenaline was in your bloodstream so the sedative became stronger to counteract it.” In his current state all, Button understood was he slept because of the sedative. “DOCTOR!!!!!” “I’m coming, Ditzy!” “Doctor, How long has Sweetie been awake?” “About a week. If you want to find her,you can go look for her.Tell the TARDIS to locate Sweetie Belle.” “DOCTOR!!!!” “I’m coming!” As the Doctor ran out,Button thought, Is that all it takes? Ask the Tardis where is Sweetie? “TARDIS, Locate Sweetie.” *TERM TO BROAD. PLEASE SPECIFY.* “TARDIS, Locate Sweetie Belle.” *SWEETIE BELLE LOCATED. SWEETIE BELLE IS IN THE TARDIS ARCADE* There’s an arcade?!, Button thought. “Can you direct me to the TARDIS arcade?” *FOLLOW THE BROWN LIGHTS* “I’m coming, Sweetie.” Sweetie had been looking for button for hours. She had decided that maybe there was a reason The Doctor and Derpy were keeping this secret. So she finally decided to give up when she noticed a line of brown lights. What does that mean? Should I follow it? Maybe it will lead me to Button?! I have to follow it. I will find you.,She thought as she quickly ran in the direction the lights went.
