Today, a day of work and renewal in Ponyville, the Winter Wrap Up is well under way. I pulled my plow through the snow at Sweet Apple Acres, singing a little tune to myself to help keep me up to speed. 'Can't let Big Mac beat me this year, no no no, this year, I clear the most snow, snow, snow.' Me and Big Mac have been friends ever since we were little foals, just old enough to stand. I had to beat him this year, if for nothing more than bragging rights. Today though, some young punks had taken to spelling words while plowing. Twilight would not like that, but we were ahead of schedule, so I let it slide for now. Besides, they did a really good job. I could read the words "Bad Wolf" from 3 whole fields away.
In a nice break from above, the clouds parted and a golden ray of sunlight shined down on me, warming my cold hooves. The warmth of the sun was truly well missed here in Ponyville, it had seemed to snow everyday for the last 3 weeks. As I finished, my chest was swelling with pride. I walked into the Sweet Apple Acre barns, where I bumped into my friend, already done and putting away his tools.
"Well Big Mac," I said, walking up to the red stallion, "read it and weep. 3 whole fields done by yours truly."
"Noope," Said the big lug.
"Huh, whaddya mean Boss?" I asked.
"Ain't weepin' cause ah cleared 4 by myself today," My old friend said. My jaw must have hit the floor based on the laugh he gave me. "But ah sure do appreciate the help, pardner."
"Hmmm, yeah. Well next year I got ya beat," I said.
"You've been sayin' that for 10 years now Opie," Mac said with his hearty laugh.
"You mean like how you have been sayin' you'll beet me to the alter ol' buddy?" I teased.
"Heck, guess ah don't take much time for myself, now do ah," He said with a grin. In truth, ever since his sister and her friends accidentally gave him a love poison, he and Cheerilee, the local teacher, had been secretly going out, just dropping enough clues to scare Apple Bloom. He was about to beat me in that contest too in all truth. 20 years of knowing the guy, never once beet him at anything. We had actually made that bet cause I was such a flirt I thought I would find a good wife long before ol red here did.
We said our goodbye's and left the barn as I headed into my work to check with Mr Steed about the work schedule for the week. Walking past Sugarcube Corner, I saw Pinky Pie icing a cake, trying like mad to finish the project on time, she had even left her wrap up duties early just to get it done.
"Oh, Opie," She cried out as I passed, "Could you come here really fast, I need a extra hoof?"
"Sure, anything for you Pinky," I said. It always paid to help out at the Corner, normally with sweet delicious treats mmm.
"For some reason, I messed up while writing and now have to redo the icing," Pinky said, a little deflated. Despite being the go to party mare, she didn't like to make any professional mistakes.
"Sure Pinky," I said while walking up next to her and taking a peek at the cake. It looked great to me, even the writing was picture perfect. But something was off about it.
"Why did you write Bad Wolf on the cake?" I asked the pink party machine as she whipped up a new batch of the sugary cake cover.
"I just zoinked out, and when I snapped too again, there it was," She said with her usual chipper.
"It's just the second time I've seen that today..." I let the sentence just hang there unfinished, rather like my thoughts on the subject. But to the pony walking in, this was all new, so he had to ask.
"Seen what now? Oh, look at that cake. That looks excellent Pinky, montobelle!" Cried my boss Mr Steed.
"Heya boss man, I was just coming to see you actually. Just about work stuff," I said while holding the icing tube thingy that Pinky was filling and I forgot the name of.
"Eh, work stuff can wait, lets see if we can get some free cake while we are here and... Bad Wolf? huh..." Mr Steed said.
"What is it?" I asked, getting that vibe I got around him at times, like something much bigger than I could imagine was going on behind those two big blue eyes.
"Hmm? Oh, that, nothing. But as I was saying, Pinky, do you, perhaps, have say, oh I don;t know..." My boss started.
"Oh Mr Steed, you don't even need to ask, I have some new cupcakes in the back cooling that you two can try, I need a taste test anyways," Pinky said with a smile. It never failed, if Steed and I double teamed Pinky, the result was always a tasty treat. We left a good hour later, full to the bursting point, and Pinky's new cupcakes, ones that change flavor with each bite, were incredible. Pinky gave me a few extras, with a wink when it was time for John Steed and I to leave.
"Man," I said looking up at the evening sky, cloudy yet again, "That Pinky sure can cook. You think I should ask her to marry me?" Okay, I admit, I had always had a crush on Pinky since she moved to Ponyville all those years ago.
"Huh? What, oh, um, red?" Steed guessed at an answer.
"Not even close John, whats up?"
"Nothing, I just need to get into my office," He replied.
"Uh huh, sure, your real office some where or the one back at work that's just a big box you sleep in?" I teased him.
"Eh, I have no idea what your talking about Opie my boy. But yes the one at work," He caved. He may have been my boss, but he was also my friend, and one of the most peculiar ponies I had ever met.
"Oh, yeah," I started, "I had meant to ask you about the work schedule."
"Why, plan on showing up on time for once?" He asked.
"Hey, that's not... entirely... okay, but find a better repair pony," I said in my defense. I was born with a wrench in mouth it seemed, and ever since I was little, I could fix anything. So naturally my cutie mark was a pair of crossed tools, a screwdriver and a wrench. John's was an hourglass, fitting for the pony that was in charge of the town clock tower that was just built into town hall.
"Well...." He let the word hang for dramatic effect, " I guess I can't. You will have to do."
"Thanks," I said walking up to the door, where I saw a flyer had been put up. A flyer with a now familiar message.
"Damn kids, what is the point of this Bad Wolf thing anyways?" I asked. I looked at John just in time to see pain and suffering behind those eyes of his. Eyes that for the first time ever looked a little too old for the colt.
"Opie, listen to me, no matter what happens tonight..." He paused again for effect, "Do not, I repeat do not..."
"What, don't do what?" I asked, a little freaked.
"Wake me up, I'm going to sleep," He said with a smile.
I snorted and walked in, straight over to the bulletin board. John and I were two of 5 people that worked in the tower now, and usually the two that did everything. But then again the other three were the 'Cutie Mark Crusaders,' trying to find their special talent. Cute little girls, horrible work ethic. I grabbed my tool belt, ready to just make one small adjustment to the main cogs timing belt, when I heard it. That voice. That voice like if metal could talk, only tortured to say the words it did now. I don't know why, but hearing them sent shivers down my spine.
"Citizens of Equestria!" The metal voice boomed, "We are the Daleks! We are the Master Race! You Will Be Exterminated! Exterminated! Exterminated!"
"John!" I cried. I went over and pounded on his box, "John you old plothole, let me in!" No one came to the door of the box. I mean really, the thing was a four foot square, where was he? And why did I instinctively run towards it? I looked out the window to see swarms of... of things, flying though the air. But they had no wings, no way to keep aloft. They poured out of these saucer shaped things, in a rectangular formation to start, but then broke up as the dropped towards the town. Then the sky was illuminated by green streaks! They were pretty, then I heard the screams. I ran to the window and looked down, seeing ponies running in the street from these things, any that were hit by the green light lay still, and I feared the worst.
I ran back to the box, pounding on the door, yelling at my boss. I doubt the box could protect me, but it was better than nothing. I yelled and pleaded, fearing for my life for the very first time it seemed. Nothing in my life had ever been this desolate, this... hopeless. I cried thinking of all the ponies outside. I could hear friends, neighbors, kids screaming. The anguished cries of my entire town. Then I heard the voice.
"Doctor! Where is the Doctor?! We Know he is here, Tell us, tell us, tell us!" Those monsters screamed. "Doctor! Listen well Doctor, We will kill one of these creatures every ten minutes until you show yourself. We will start with the children Doctor, do not delay, do not delay, do not Delay!" Bastards!
"Opie," Said a voice behind me, as I turned I saw John standing in his box, a blue suit coat on, along with a pair of reading glasses. He reached a hoof out towards me, and said "I need your help." I ran to him and entered the box.
chapter two, time and relative dimensions in space
I Ran into the box, not caring about the damn size, I just wanted to wake up. This had to be a dream. It had too, please Celestia let it be a dream. I could hear pounding on the door outside of the box, some pony was trying to hide in the office too. But John and I were already in here. There was no room, nothing for them here except a few more seconds, but soon those monsters would find us. I looked to where I realized John should be, and saw he was a few feet away...
"What... what is this?" I stammered.
"Opie, those are the Daleks. I do not know why they are here, but I will stop them. This is my ship, the TARDIS. It is bigger on the inside. but we need to get her working again. That is why you are here, you are right Opie, you are the best repair pony there is. and all of Equestria needs you to fix my ship, okay?" John said.
"John, John didn't you bucking see what happened out there! We can't stop those monsters with a blue box that's bigger on the inside!" I yelled. I wept. I had seen friends dying outside, I had seen so much in my life, and to now see this. When I was young, Mac and I saw our friend Lightning Flash crash into a tree. A limb had pierced his hind leg, severing the artery. Before Mac and I could even get to him, he bled out. Now I was helpless again as my town died.
"Opie, let me tell you something," my old friend said, fire in his eyes, his voice like ice " I am the Doctor, a 1172 year old Time Lord from the Planet Gallefrey. I watched my world burn as a result of a war with the Daleks, And I Will Not Watch as Another World Is CONSUMED! NOW OPIE, GET UP AND HELP ME SAVE THE WORLD," The Doctor said, and for the first time ever, I truly understood the odd pony. He gave me hope, maybe we could do this. In his eyes, I saw that what he said was the absolute truth, and he would beat these things. I swallowed hard and got up.
"What can I do, Doctor?" I said, ready to do the right thing.
"HA HA, excellent, now, lets fix 'er!" The Doctor said with a smile.
I dove under the center consul of the box, a large thing with all kinds of buttons and knobs and levers, but I was looking at the guts of it, trying to spy the problem. I worked hard and fast, but a few times I had to call to the Doctor for a new tool, seeing many places here that took a device I didn't have. Finally I was down to the last part, Troubleshooting.
"Did you connect this wire to here?" I asked.
"Yes Yes, didn't work," He said rather agitated. Outside there were sounds of freight, the Daleks were close now.
"Did you hit the panel with the mallet?" I asked.
"Of course," He said.
"AT the same time?"
"Yes I NO! No that's it, you're Brilliant Opie, absolutely Brilliant!" the Doctor said as he hit the the panel with the mallet and I plugged in the wire. I don' know how, but I could even fix this thing. That's why I'm named Opie Fixx I guess. With a start the ship as the Doctor called it lurched and made an odd whirring sound, like whooormph, whoormph, whooormph. We tossed and turned as the Doctor pulled here and there at the consul, muttering to himself.
"Nope, that's a little to close to the 1970's now, a little more to the left," He said.
Doctor, what's going on?" I yelled.
"We are moving, through time and space," he said with a laugh.
"What? How?" I asked, lost in the sauce.
"TARDIS, stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. Neat, huh?" The doctor said. Okay then, I thought, I hopped in a crazy box and broke down, I was now nuts. That's all. With a bang we stopped. I picked myself up as the doctor grabbed some clothes and tossed them to me.
"Here, these creatures like if all visitors wear some kind of clothes," The Doctor said.
As I dressed, it dawned on me, "Hey wait, we left our world?"
"Yep, sure did," the Doctor said.
"Then we could just go back, gather every pony left and evac them with this thing, Doctor you're a genius!" I said laughing, this was the plan, we just took off too soon, should have checked the brakes or something.
"I'm afraid we can't Opie. Your race would never recover long term from that kind of help, it would cripple you. You know that, deep down. But you haven't given up, and that is good," The Doctor said. I tried to argue the point, but the Doctor in all of his wisdom was calm, and talked me down. I argued size, resources, time, and he told me that the Daleks were now a Fixed point in time, so we had to do it his way. I didn't want to, but I went along with his idea, what choice did I have?
We left the box to find ourselves on a sandy beach of some kind, but with green sand instead of tan. I thought this was amazing, but then I turned around and saw the city. It was a huge collection of glass and steel, but after a minute I saw that this place had no soul, not like Ponyville at all. I trotted behind the Doctor, hating wearing these damn vests, and this was just my vest from the winter wrap up. I swore to get even with the doc for this prank. We walked among shops and stalls selling food, but when I saw the stuff, I realized it was flesh. I knew not to yell, I had seen horror movies, dude that yells dies first. We went to one shop, didn't look to different, but these odd aliens everywhere, that meant nothing. The Doctor went in first, and as soon as I was in, I realized where we were, or at least what the place was.
"Hey," I said, "This is a tailor!"
"Hey is for horses," said the client turning around, it's long blue coat swaying about. It stood on just two legs, with the other two ending in odd thingies, like the little dragon Spike's claws. When it laid those blue eyes on us though, he smiled and changed his tone, "Oh, well I guess for you that's apt."
"Hello Captain Jack Harkness," The Doctor said to him.
"Bloody hell! Doctor?!?" Jack said.
"The one and only!" the Doctor said with a laugh as Jack ran over and hugged him and gave the doctor a big kiss on the lips.
"Well guess we should start to call you Doctor Whooves now, huh?" Jack said.
"Oh haha, I like this form." The Doctor said.
"So who is your sexy little friend Doctor?" Jack said, eyeing me up and down. CRAP!
"Hey Cap, names Opie," I said offering a hoof. Jack tried for a hug, but i put the hoof up to his chest. "Down boy."
"He's a feisty one!" Jack said.
"No, Jack. I swear, anything that moves with this guy," The Doctor said under his breath.
"So how did you find me Doctor?" Jack asked.
"When we landed, I scanned the area for alien tech, and your teleporter came up," The Doctor said.
"So this is just random Doctor? I'm hurt," Jack said.
"Well I could use your help anyways Jack, we have a bit of an infestation back on Equestria. Daleks, to be precise," the Doctor said.
"Doctor, I would follow you to hell and back a thousand times, let's go beat us some Daleks," Jack said.
Jack and I sat I silence, watching the Doctor work the controls, flinging us through space and time, back to the hell that Ponyville had become. I liked Jack, the Doctor trusted him, so that was good enough for me. I found out during the ride that the TARDIS was actually in my head, translating everything into my language, but it didn't translate that because I had no idea what the buck that meant. The Doctor cursed and yelled while he piloted, pleading with the machine he called Sexy to just work for him.
"Bloody hell!" the Doctor yelled, "This was much easier with hands!"
"The hay are hands!?!" I yelled back. Jack laughed at our little exchange.
"So Opie, are you ready?" He asked me.
"As much as I can be. I wish I had told Pinky Pie how I felt about her now, at least once..."
"You'll get your chance, that would make too good of a story for your kids for it to never happen," Jack said. His words gave me steel, readying me for anything. So did the tool bag the Doctor gave me, it was bigger on the inside too.
We banged down now, and gathered by the door of the TARDIS. "Ready everypony?" the Doctor asked. With a great rush we all left the box to find ourselves surrounded by, of all the damn luck, trees.
"You missed town Doc," I said.
"I said it was easier with hands. Come on," He said. We ran towards town, then jogged, then walked.
"How far off were we Doctor?" Jack asked.
"Be quite," He said obviously angry. We poked through just in time to see a light in the Clock Tower, like a light house, and hear the whoomph-ing sound.
"Ah, thats why we were off, to avoid the paradox of meeting our selves!" The Doctor said.
"Great, so what now?" Jack asked. from where we sat, we could see the whole town, they talked strategy, I saw the horror. Friends and loved ones lay every where, just dead ponies now. Little kids walked around their parents, nosing them, pleading with mommy and daddy to wake up. The kids that didn't get up were the worst though. I lost my lunch seeing this.
"Easy there kid," Jack said, "I know this is hard for you, I saw something like this when I was little. But Doctor," Jack said turning his attention, "Why didn't the Daleks just wipe this world clean? How did they know you were here?"
"I don't know Jack, but the fact the Daleks didn't kill everyone scares me. As for how they knew I was here, they just did a scan for alien tech, and I have the only tech on world here. Now, look there," The Doctor said jumping and pointing. I saw Twilight Sparkle and Pinky fighting off the Daleks, Pinky using Twilight as a magic cannon it seamed, and the Daleks were falling.
"Magic," I said, "The Daleks are weak against magic?"
"Makes sense. Nowhere else in the universe has this kind of power. That's it!" The Doctor yelled, "The magical field, they plan to collapse it, making this world a big reality bomb!"
"And that's bad?" I asked.
"Very," Jack said.
We left our cover as a Dalek rounded the corner, and aimed at us, specifically Jack.
"Halt, Doctor!" The thing yelled. It thought Jack was the Doctor. From what I understood, the Doctor used to be a form like Jack's once, so I guess it made sense, the Daleks had no idea the Doctor was a pony, and Jack was the only Human on our world. They let loose a shot at Jack. I watched him fall to the earth, dead. The Doctor took off and I was not far behind, the Dalek let out a few shots, but he missed. The Doctor told me later the magic of our world slowed the speed of the shots, and the Daleks could not adjust to hit moving targets here. I ran, not knowing how tired I was anymore, not seeing the death around me, I just ran. When we stopped, we were hold up in Pinky's bakery. the basement had already been cleared. I paid my respects to the late Mr Cake here, who had given himself so his family could escape, or so I hoped. The Doctor drew up a plan with frosting.
"There is where we need to hit on the Dalek ship," he said.
"Right on the gumdrop, got it!"
Overhead we could hear the Dalek's relaying the info the Doctor had been killed. So they thought. But still, poor Jack.
"How do we get up to the Ship, Doc?" I asked.
"Leave that to me," said a voice behind us, I turned to see Jack standing there, a grin on his ugly Alien face.
"Jack!? How?" I asked.
"Let me just say, never look into the heart of the TARDIS," He said. "As for how to get there, the Doctor already said I have a Teleporter."
"That word has no meaning to me," I said.
"Jack, I though I said no teleporting?" The Doctor said.
"Now where is the fun in that," He said, pulling us both tight to him and pressing a button on his fore leg hoof thingy... I don't know what it was called, He's an alien, alright?!?
We instantly left the bakery and a moment later, we were in a corner, but in a great big metal belly. Daleks were everywhere, the closest had its back to us and didn't raise the alarm, so we were in luck. I dove at it, reaching into my tool bag, and pulled out a working plasma torch the Doctor had called it. I didn't know what it was, but find a tool in the universe, and I can use it. I cut into the Dalek, but instead of making an opening, it rose into the air, the metal balls around its base shot out in a sphere, and a moment later the Dalek was just gone.
"By Jove, that was excellent kid, you tripped it's self destruct," Jack said. He had pulled something out of his coat and took aim himself at the approaching Daleks, letting ring thunder from the damn thing. We ran down a corridor Jack using the thunder maker to cover us. We zigged and zagged, dropped levels, and climbed ramps to new ones. Eventually, we were at it.
"The gumdrop!" I said, remembering the map in the bakery.
"That's the AI core," the Doctor said.
"The what now?" I said.
"Intruder alert," the thing cried. the doctor ran up to it, pulling out a silver tool from his pocket, and a quick point later, it made a small whistling sound. The thing blinked off, then came back on, spinning wildly. "SPAAAAACCCCCCCCCEEEEEE!" it cried, "ohmygodohmygodohmyogd I'm in Space!"
"That. Jack is why I have a Sonic Screwdriver!" The doctor yelled in Triumph.
"Later Doctor, we need to go!" Jack yelled back.
"Right, Allons-y!" The doctor yelled as he searched for a way out. as we sat there, I saw a contraption, a temporal messenger it read. I went to it, and Easily found out how ot use it. I put out a small message now, just in time to here the Doctor yell for me.
"Opie, we found a way out, lets go!" He yelled.
As I joined up I asked him "Why can't Jack Telephone us out?"
"They blocked all teleportation when the alarm when up," Jack said, "But escape pods still work."
We left the giant craft just in time, it was starting to destroy itself, the Daleks wanting to stay put, the ship wanting to explore space. We fell to the planet, the outside of the pod getting so hot it caught fire. I hoped the Doctor could figure this part out. As we fell closer and closer, I saw a brilliant rainbow double helix that made one rainbow beam, sweep the land.
"Well they finally used the Elements of Harmony," I said.
"Yes, that would work now that the mother ship is not putting out the shielding code to the ground units," the Doctor said.
"The what now?" I said. As if on cue, Jack hit a button and the pod slowed down and then landed rather nicely on the planet.
As we got out, I heard Jack say "Doctor, Daleks don't use escape pods..."
"I know," The Doctor said, "That was a scavenging party, using random ships to invade. All that remains of the Daleks are just nomads, drifting through space now because of me."
"Good," I said, "Give em a chance to cool off." I surveyed the town. Most of it was destroyed, lots of dead ponies everywhere. I saw a familiar filly sitting there, holding her daughter close to her chest. I Turned and Ran into the Everfree Forest, straight to the TARDIS. When I got there, I found the Doctor and the Keepers of the elements there.
"Doctor, please," I begged of him, "let me go back, stop this from ever happening."
"I can't Opie, you know that," He said.
"Bastard! How can you sit on so much power, and not fix everything?" I yelled, angry at him, the Daleks, myself.
"Opie, every second I see the universe as it could be, the way it should be, the way it has to be and the way it is. Every second, of all eternity. That is the curse of being a Time Lord, I don't get to choose who lives and who dies. if I could, I would be no better than the Daleks, because I would be taking away ponies fates, their free will. Please understand," He said. I knew he was right. That made it hurt worse.
"Doctor," Said Jack stepping out of the TARDIS, "I'm ready to go when you are. Hey," He said to the assembled girls, "Which one of you is Pinky Pie?"
"That's me, why?" Pinky said.
"He likes you, a lot, just thought I should say that," Jack said. Plothole.
"Oh, well I like him a lot too, I always wanted him to ask me out..." Pinky said looking down.
"Pinky," I said swallowing my pride, "I would like your help in rebuilding our town." I said.
"Of course Silly, and afterwords we can go out on a date," Pinky said rather chipper. But could see the change in her face, the heart break of what we had seen.
"Well, that's two couples out of this hell hole," Rainbow Dash said, giving Applejack a quick kiss to tell every one else about them.
"Yeah, um, not surprised," Twilight said and they all broke into a good laugh.
I took the chance to talk to the Doctor now in private. "So Doc, after you drop him off, when will you be back?"
"Oh, what makes you think I'm coming back?" The Doctor said.
"2 reasons, A) your a pony now, where else can you go," I said.
"True," He conceded.
"And 2 or was that B).. anyways, you wouldn't make me a liar," I said.
"Oh?"
"Yeah, on the ship I found a Temporal messenger, so I put the word out that Equestria was protected. We should be safe now," I said. The Doctor laughed, and agreed to come back, telling me I was special, I had managed to change his mind. He and Jack got in the Box, Jack waiving good by too all of his new friends, but I had a feeling we would see him again. The TARDIS soon wavered in and out of existence, all 7 of us watching it disappear.
"Will he ever come back?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yeah, someday." I said with a smile, til i turned around and ran face first into a big blue box that had just appeared quietly this time, like a prank.
"Hey its someday!" Pinky yelled, and everyone had a good laugh, including the Doctor stepping out of his box.
It was hard rebuilding the town, but a year later, you could never even tell it had happened, except for the graveyard and memorial wall. 544 ponies died that day, Big Mac had given his life it turned out to buy his sister time to use the Elements. Cheerilee went with him, so in the record, we recorded that as their marriage. Pinky inherited the Corner, no pony ever saw the Cake family again. The Doctor thinks they were used as an experiment, testing the reality bomb idea out. Pinky and I laid together in bed, married all of 4 hours now, when we heard a knock at the door. We went down stairs and found an old friend and his blue box on the step.
"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue," The Doctor said, and at a click of his hooves against the ground the doors opened up. "How about a trip you two, anywhere in the universe, my treat? How about Barcelona, not the city, the world, where they have dogs with no noses."
Pinky and I looked at each other and stepped out and into a new adventure.
Hey there, Sam here, thanks for the read, I received some great feedback on this story, and decided to do another. Part Two, The Fallout of a Fractured Sky is in the works. Okay, it's mostly finished, just re-reading it, proofreading, and redrafting as needed. So for a teaser to whats to come, the opening to Doctor Whooves: The Fallout of a Fractured Sky, Chapter one, Jail time.
CRAP!!!!!1!!! Running now, gotta run! Can't stop, hearing the zip of laser fire pass overhead! I turn fast, which way, which way! The TARDIS! I can see it! A blinding flash! Crap! What was that, Run forward, hope for the best! Hope for-BANG!- owww, my head... I found the TARDIS now. I'm inside, I ran right into the consul again, didn't I?
"Tehehehehehe, Opie, that was fun," My wife, Pinkie Pie said. I groggily looked at her, and saw in her hooves the Polaroid camera the Doctor had given her. How she worked it, that was beyond me.
"Pinkie," I said calmly, "Did you take my picture right before I entered?"
"Yep, its a good one, lookit!" She said pressing the photo into my face.
"That's a real keeper Pinkie," the Doctor said, laughing, "Just in time too. He looks like an action hero!"
"Yepperunie! This one is my new favorite, going right here!" Pinkie said pinning the picture to the bulletin board we had put up, full of pictures of our adventures to new worlds.
"Great," I said trying to stand, "Now can we go home, I don't think they want us here on... where are we?"
"Raxitalianfalibitorious!" The Doctor said with a smile, "They were rather polite today."
"Why do you say that Doc?" I asked. He hated when I called him that, but he chalked it up to a country upbringing.
"They missed," He said so calm, so passively, all I could do was laugh as we twisted and turned through time back home. At least, til we got that darn call. Something in the TARDIS was ringing. I had heard this before now, the Doctor called it a Telephone, but never said he had one in the TARDIS. He answered it, and then turned to us a little miffed.
"What's wrong Doctor? Lets turn that frown upside down," Pinkie said, twisting her neck for visual effect showing a frown literally turn upside down. How the buck she did that, even the Doctor was at a loss.
"That was my wife, she needs a lift," The Doctor said.
