Doctor Whooves and the Unexpected Visitor

Ditzy was shaken from her memories by the TARDIS lurching to one side, throwing both her and the Doctor into the guard rail that circled the console. The TARDIS gave a sudden shake then slammed down throwing both of them into the air for a few seconds before they both slammed into the floor.

"Ow,,,What the heck Doctor?" Ditzy said standing up and running a hoof along the top of her head.

"Heh..sorry, its been awhile since Ive actually flown the TARDIS and that was in my home dimension" The Doctor said standing up and looking at her before brushing some of the dust out of his mane.

"Are you ok Ditzy?" he said walking up to her and quickly looking her over.

"Ya im find just a bit shaken is all" She said looking back at him, he still had a layer of dirt on his coat from landing on the floor but she could only see it when she looked closely since it blending in with his coat so well, she looked at her own coat to see it was just as dirty if not more and it really stood out against her grey coat making it really noticeable. She quickly shook herself sending dust into the air around her, she looked back at him before putting a hoof up to cover her mouth as she let out a few sneezes.

"When was the last time you cleaned your ship doctor, its so dirty and" She tried to finish but another sneeze made it impossible.

"Dusty. ya i know, i really need to get in here and clean the whole thing out. Maybe we can do it after we go see Celestia" He said walking over to the white double doors that lead outside and pushed them open.

Outside he could see he had landed next to some kind of large hedge fence, but quickly realized he had landed in the small court yard separating the castle from the hedge maze located behind it. He grinned before looking down, letting out a small sigh as he saw that the TARDIS had crushed what looked to be a stone table and maybe a bench.

"Just my luck" he said before quickly running back into the TARDIS.

Ditzy had walked passed the doctor and outside into the small court yard and instantly recognized it as the area that they used for setting up all the different booths during the Gala. She decided to walk around a bit since she had only been here once and it was at night so she hadn't had a chance to see all the different statues and plants. This area had been her favorite place to be when the Princess hosted the Grand Galloping Gala since this is where all the different booths were set up for ponies to sell their different types of foods and gifts that they had brought with them from all over Equestria to others.

The only reason she had gotten to go in the first place was that Celestia had sent Twilight eight tickets instead of only seven and she had happened to go by to check out a cooking book from the library and Twilight had given her the last ticket as a gift.

She stopped looking around and quickly turned around when she heard the TARDIS begin to lift up into the air, she instantly began to worry about whether he was going to leave her behind, but quickly put that thought into the back of her mind as the TARDIS slowly started to descend again on an open patch of grass. The double doors flew open and the Doctor ran out only stopping to look at her for a second before running around the TARDIS a few times

"good i didn't land on anything this time" he said looking back at the crushed table and bench.

"um..Ditzy remind me to mention to the royal guards that something had crushed the table and bench over there" he said motioning at the small pile of rubble, a perfect square was left in the center of the pile where the TARDIS had pushed all the rubble aside to land levelly.

She smiled before walking up to a small garden that was next to the TARDIS, she had loved the flowers that were located here since they smelled amazing and looked so beautiful, she had tried to find out what kind they were but the gardener said he only watered the plants and had no idea what they were.

"Well Ditzy lets head inside and speak with the princess before it gets any later." he said turning back to the TARDIS and clapping his hoofs together, the doors swung shut and banged together before the lock clicked shut.

He turned to Ditzy and gave a little wink "Clap on, clap off" He said acting like he was clapping his hooves together again.

"Clap on, clap off? whats that, some kind of new catch phrase?" Ditzy said looking at him with one eyebrow raised.

"No..its from that one...ohh that's right, that isn't a thing in this dimension" he said looking at Ditzy putting his hoof up to his chin and resting it on it.

"What isn't a thing?" she said looking even more confused.

"Never mind its just a saying the humans invented to go with a device they made that turns on and off lights when it hears the sound of a clap." he said as he started to walk down the path that lead to the castle.

Ditzy shrugged and watched him walk for a bit before she ran up to catch him, he always talked about strange things but no matter what he said he always made it sound interesting and impressive, from the stories he had told her about his dimension the human creatures seamed to be very smart and very kind, he had said that there were a few things he hated about them like how they had a need for war and conflict but they made up for that with their kindness to others and love for each other.

As they walked she couldn't stop thinking about all he had said about them, he talked about them like they were his favorite pets that he was trying to show off all the time, she stopped walking for a second and stared at him until he noticed she wasn't by his side and turned around.

"Whats wrong Ditzy?" he said looking at her with a soft grin.

"Noth...nothing just thinking to myself, im going to stay out here for a bit and walk around looking at the plants and animals until your done." She had begun to walk off to a nearby bench and lifted herself up onto it before she looking back at him.

"Alright if you want to, are you sure you don't want to come inside with me? It'll be fun" he said with a big grin on his face as he walked over to her.

"Ya im sure, my legs still hurt from all the running we did on our last trip" She giggled a little bit before looking up into a nearby tree at a group of bird.

"Alright, try to stay out of trouble while im gone" He said giving her a stern look, she knew he was joking but the look he gave her still made her feel a little uneasy. She hated to admit it to herself but there was a small part of her that was afraid of him, not because he was a time traveling pony or even the fact that he was an alien, it was how clever and manipulating he could be that really scared her.

He turned around and walked thru a large gate that was at the end of the path and disappeared from sight, she layed on the bench for a little while longer just watching the birds fly from tree to tree, to lost in thought to notice the rain clouds being pushed in by a team of Pegasi. She only looked up after a raindrop landed on her noise and made her flinch back. She quickly sat up and ran over to the nearest tree before the storm finally broke and rain began to pour down, she sat down in the cool and dry grass under the protection of the tree and began to get lost in her thoughts again as she watched the rain pour down.
