“Put him in the gardens we passed over on the way here,” the Doctor suggested. “That way he’ll get to see you two rule every day. It will serve as a reminder of his defeat today. A reminder to everyone else who would dare to rise up against you two. A reminder that this world is defended!”

The royal sisters smiled at the Doctor’s speech, and watched as he turned to get back in his TARDIS.

“Wait!” yelled Celestia, hoping to ask one more question before he left.

“Yes, Celestia?”

“Where will you go now? Will we ever see you again?”

“I’m not sure where I’m going, but you can bet on seeing me again,” he confirmed with a smile. “But for now, I need to do something with you two.”

The royal sisters looked at each other, confused, not quite sure what the Doctor meant by that. And so Celestia, deciding to find out exactly what he was planning, turned back to face the Doctor again and addressed him.

“And what, Doctor, is that?”

“I’m going to wipe your minds.”

“You shall do no such thing!” shouted Luna, to which the Doctor frowned.

“You act as if I want to, Luna,” said the Doctor, causing her to relent slightly. “If I had a choice I’d let you keep your memories of me, but for the good of your country, I need to do this.”

“And why, Doctor, is that?” Celestia wondered aloud.

“Because, Celestia, say word of me got out. What happens then? What happens when the ponies learn that their princesses needed the help of an alien to defeat Discord?”

“They may begin to worship him, ‘Tia,” Luna answered for her.

Letting out a sigh, Celestia smiled at the floor. “Very well, Doctor, but grant me one last favor.”

“Anything, Celestia.”

“Tell us your real name.”

As the two sisters regained their senses and took notice of a strange blue box flying away, Luna decided to question its presence to her sister, pointing a hoof at it.

“‘Tia, what is that?”

“I’m not sure, sister, but all that matters is that we defeated Discord.”

“I suppose you’re right, ‘Tia.”

“Now let’s go put him in the gardens, sister.”

“The gardens?”

“As a reminder to everypony not to trifle with us, Luna.”

And with that, Luna helped her sister pick up the petrified Discord, and they began flying him out towards the royal gardens. All the while, Celestia’s mind was racing a mile a minute.

“I’m sorry, but you want a statue of what, Princess?”

“A box. It would look exactly like I’ve drawn it on the paper, Mr. Slab.”

“Please, just ‘Marble’.”

“Of course.”

“But what’s a police box?”

“Well, from what I remember, he referred to it as the TARDIS.”

“He?”

“The Doctor.”

For a few moments, Marble Slab simply stared at Celestia blankly. But finally, he gathered the resolve to speak again.

“You may have finally lost it, Princess, but okay. I’ll get started on a sculpture of this... ‘TARDIS’.”

As Celestia smiled and left Marble Slab’s office, a smirk made its way onto her face.

Silly Doctor, thinking it would be that easy to make me forget about you. For a while, Luna did, but then you came back. I’m sure you know why she changed, but you just don’t want to believe it. I wish you luck in all your future endeavors, Doctor. And please, do stay safe...
