Doctor Whooves and the Unexpected Visitor
Chapter 4
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Doctor woke up several hours after laying down feeling full rested, unlike humans and the ponies of this dimension that needed about eight hours of sleep he only needed two to four hours to feel fully rested. He stretched his legs a bit before walking down the corridors and to the console, he never really had to pay attention to which direction he went since the TARDIS always changed the corridors around.
He finally reached the console after a few minutes of walking, he stretched one final time before running up and began to toggle levers and twist handles before looking at the screen that was attached to the console support. The screen went from black to something that looked like a submarine's sonar panel. The screen was completely black except for a dot in the middle of the screen that had a line rotating around it, the line slowly rotated around the center and let out a 'ding' when it passed over the only one spot.
"hehe..you just can't beat the Soviets and their Sonar, alright this says that there is only one rift, and it seams to be dormant meaning i will have to open it again to take him home." He said out loud looking at the screen as it let out another 'ding' when the line passed over the spot again.
He pulled a couple levers and the screen went dark again, he stood up and walked over to the door checking his pockets making sure he had grabbed his Sonic Screwdriver just in case. He pushed on the door gently and they swung open, he was met with a gust of cool wind and the smell of spring in full bloom. He walked outside into the cool morning air, the sun had just risen above the distant mountains and the sky was already filled with white clouds that were turned orange by the sun's glow.
As he walked along the path he looked around enjoying the peaceful morning, he hadn't enjoyed anything like this in what felt like forever since he seamed to always run into trouble everywhere he went. He had planned to go to Ditzy's place to let her know whats going on before he headed off to tell Princes Celestia, since he had an arrangement with her to let her know if anything strange happened in Ponyville while he was there.
He continued walking in silence until he saw the familiar white house sitting on the outskirts of town, The house was a small two story house with the usual hay roofing and a small garden just to the left of it. He walked up to the house and up onto the porch before knocking on the door a couple times, he waited a few minutes before he heard something fall inside
"Whoops" Said a female voice from behind the door as it opened. The Doctor smiled as he saw Ditzy open the door carefully and look up at him.
"I hope you saved some muffins for me from last night" He said with a smile before walking inside.
"Well no but i did make a fresh batch this morning" She said with a smile closing the door and following the Doctor into the kitchen. He walked into the kitchen and sat down at the small table in the corner before picking up a muffin and taking a bite out of it, he almost spat it back out because of how hot it was but quickly swallowed instead.
"Careful they're still hot" Ditzy said walking into the kitchen, he smiled and sat the muffin down to let it cool off before he ate anymore. She walked over to the table and sat down on a chair she had pulled out, she picked up a muffin and took a bite of it before looking at him.
He smiled before he started to explain "Ditzy, last night when i went to the library I met a pony there that was from another dimension" he said picking up the muffin before taking a bite since it had cooled.
"Why couldn't i have come with you? When do i get to meet him?" She said with wide eyes and a big grin.
"No your not going to meet him since i have no clue if he is dangerous or not, and i don't want to risk your life finding out" He sighed looking at her. She looked at the floor for a long time before finally looking back at him.
"ok then" She said looking back at the floor. He hated to see her upset like this, it made both his hearts ache
"Well what do you say about coming with me to see Princess Celestia to report whats going on?" He watched her perk up and look at him with an excited expression.
"That would be wonderful Doctor" She said eating the rest of her muffin.
"Alright meet me out front when your done" He said standing up and heading out the front door. While he waited he noticed Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds in the sky and waved at her, she paused for a few seconds to wave back before shooting off thru a couple clouds causing them to explode. He still was amazed at how in this dimension all the weather was controlled by Pegasi and the celestial bodies were controlled by two Princesses. He looked back at Ditzy's house just in time to see the grey Pegasus walk out and shut the door, she quickly flew over to where he was standing and landed before they both turned and walked down the path that led to the TARDIS.
The forest was a lot cooler than the town had been and Ditzy enjoyed seeing the different types of birds flying around, singing their songs to communicate with each other. She felt safe being with the Doctor, when she was by herself she always felt in danger but when she was with him.... she felt like nothing could go wrong and if it did, he was there to fix it and put everything right. She smiled looking at him walking in front of her, they rounded a corner and she saw the blue box sitting in the middle of a small clearing ahead of them and quickened her pace to match his.
He stopped just in front of the doors and clapped his hooves together causing the doors on the TARDIS to fly open, they both quickly hurried inside before the doors slammed shut again. He ran up to the controls and started pulling the different levers and pushing buttons, she smiled as she thought just how much he looked like he had no clue what he was doing and was just trying to show off while trying to figure out which button does what.
"Doctor try to keep us in the same time." she said walking up the short staircase that led up to the control panel.
"That shouldn't be to hard since we are just moving to a different location instead of a different time" He said as the TARDIS began to hum and vibrate. She instinctively leaned up against one of the handrails that encircled the control panel watching in amazement as the Doctor not only kept his footing but seamed to not notice the TARDIS rocking from side to side as he steered it thru the air. She began to get lost in her thoughts and memories while she waited for him to land, reliving the different adventures they had and everything he had told her, like she did every night before she went to bed.
