I raised an eyebrow at his remark."A Time Lord? That's absurd! I'm just a regular pony. A regular Pegasus pony to be exact." I said frowning up at the fact that I was still entertaining these weirdos, however I did keep in mind that I did have amnesia, and with amnesia anything could go. So there might have been some truth behind his words.

"A Time Lord that doesn't know that it's a Time Lord and I thought that I knew everything." He said shaking his head in amusement as he thought the notion of a Time Lord being an amnesic.

"Um, maybe he has amnesia." Derpy said, being the only one of the two that was making sense.

"That would make sense. It isn't rare for a time lord to develop amnesia after regenerating, but judging by the looks of the ponies that were on board the train...I don't really think he could have regenerated while being aboard the train...I'm at a lost on this one." Derpy who was confused by the recent current events tilted her head as she tried to process what was going on.

"I don't understand...I thought you said that all of the Time Lords were gone, so how can he be one?" Derpy asked the Doctor, he responded to her at the moment with just a simple sigh.

"I don't know Derpy. It's a mystery and if there is one thing about me that should be known. It is that I enjoy solving mysteries and I'm pretty sure that 'she' can help shed a little on the situation." He said now sounding ecstatic, as if he was pumping himself up for something. He then walked over to me and began to shove me forward, which of course I passively refused to do.

"What, what, What!" I yelled out while moving away from him.

"Come, Come. Start walking. Just follow us and I'll get to the bottom of this." He said walking ahead of me, looking as if he wanted me to follow him. Something which I wasn't to keen on doing. Now don't get me wrong, it's just that when you figure out that you have amnesia, and some random pony comes up to and starts sprouting out random bull crap such as Time lords and a planet called Gallopfrey, that would pretty much be your cue to just walk away and hope to find out about yourself elsewhere, this however was not the case.

I woke up on a train with a note telling me to find a stallion called The Doctor. Well I'm supposidly looking at a pony called The Doctor right this second. Now whether or not he's the pony that the note was speaking of is unknown to me, but the note told me to do something and I'm doing what I am told so that should be enough for right now...

I really didn't want to follow this crazy 'Doctor' or his "probably not so crazy assistant" but I kept thinking back to note. "Follow The Doctor and possibly recover my memories or just do my own thing..." That was a question that I often asked myself when I came across certain decision upon being with the doctor for over an extended amount of time. Despite only being awake for about thirty minutes I could already tell that I'm slow to trust ponies but that have been a side effect of the amnesia and not actually being apart of my personality.

Anyway, I slowly followed the two ponies while keeping a close eye on them. The Doctor and Derpy didn't seem like the type to hurt other ponies, especially Derpy. However I made sure to keep any even closer eye on her. You have heard the phase: Beware of the cute ones, right? The Doctor However seemed to be just a little too...eccentric.

We didn't really have to walk very far to find...whatever we had been looking for. Surprisingly what we had been looking for was just a large blue box that had the words PONY BOX inscribed on it. "What's a pony box?" I asked not really expecting an answer.

The Doctor pointed at the large box with a gleaming smile on his face."It's anything you what it be." The Doctor said half serious. "It's actually not called a Pony Box. It's actually called the TARDIS. It's my pride and joy. I bet you five bits that you can't tell me what the real name of the TARDIS." He said said pretty sure of himself that I wasn't going to be able to figure it out.

Of course as stupid as I was I actually attempted to try my luck. "Uh does it mean Time And Relative Dimension In Space, right? The name TARDIS comes from it's initials." I said completely astounded at the fact that this wasn't going to be my initial answer and was even more astounded by the fact that I had gotten it right after giving him a completely random and crazy answer.

Upon guessing the right name of the TARDIS, the doctor feel silent as he look at me with pure confusion. "You say that your a normal Pegasus, but I'm starting to suspect that you really are a Time Lord." He said before nodding his head at the notion. Expecting the door to open, upon him walking close to it, but came to a rude awakening when the the door failed to open, causing him to ended up walking directly into the door. A feat that me and Derpy actually found pretty funny.

"Ouch! What the? That's not right. Why didn't it open?" The Doctor said while tapping his hoof onto the door of the box.

"Maybe it's locked." Derpy stated.

"Not to me it isn't." He said sounding pretty confused and aggravated. "What's wrong with you? Are you mad at me? Why don't you open up, It's just me, Derpy and that pony you told me to get." The doctor said sounding as if he was expecting a reaction from the blue lifeless box, but sure enough the doors opened up revealing the inside of the box. He the walked inside, while grumbling something inaudible to me and Derpy. It felt pretty suspicious that I had to follow him into a large rectangular box box, but something told me to just do it anyway. Upon walking into the Tardis however, blew my mind as I had to take a few moments to my self in order process the function of this seemingly harmless blue box that was actually a high-tech machine. "Well, What do you think?" The doctor said with a smirk on his face as a mixture of horror and fear appeared on mine.

"It's Bigger on the inside!" I yelled while snapping myself back into reality. I backed up a bit and appeared to become a little defensive. "Who are you guys? What are You!" I yelled.

"I told you. I'm The Doctor and this is my assistant Derpy Hooves and I'm a Time Lord from the Plant Gallopfrey. Now do mind telling me who you are?"

I eased up a bit and decided to give him my fake name. "I'm The Keeper."
