You Can't Run Forever

Chapter Two: That Shouldn't Have Happened

I moved up to the entrance. So far, so good. No Weeping Angels as of yet. I thought of my plan of attack. What should I do? How can I get then? So many thoughts, yet none of them really relevant, or useful.

I quickly realised that I wouldn't be able to take on the Weeping Angels without some nice tools or something. I ran back to where I parked my TARDIS, in the middle of that jungle, which I was just previously walking through. The brilliant thing about these lovely machines, is that they are MEANT to blend into the environment in which she lands. I say 'meant', because all of the models made with that feature. I used it for a decade or so, but then I travelled to Earth for a period in their time and my TARDIS disguised itself into a police box.

I really liked this design so I removed the feature. The old girl has had that design for many centuries. And I love it.

After unlocking my TARDIS, I sprinted inside, then suddenly stopped. Always when I enter my lovely box, I am constantly amazed by her. She is beautiful. The lovely plating on her interior walls, the intranet design of the panels, the brilliant finish on the outside of her engine. Oh, and the fact that it is bigger on the inside is just a bonus.

I stopped gazing like a young teen on a beach during summer and turned left, heading down the hall. I stopped at my armoury. What do I have that can be used against stone?

"You can't kill stone, you idiot!" I told myself.

"But," I replied, "you can DESTROY it!!"

I grabbed my sonic screwdriver and put on top of a black and green table. I called it a Tinker Table. 'It had a nice ring to it.' I thought. I tinkered with my sonic screwdriver until it had a sonic detonation feature. This feature would, when used, create a sonic boom, a very small one, but big enough to destroy something about 6 foot tall, about the--

"--size of a statue!! Hahaha!" I exclaimed with joy.

I dashed back to the citadel. I noticed there were no statues in the garden. Brilliant, they're all inside! I couldn't tell whether I was being sarcastic or not, so I just rushed inside.

I saw an angel right down the back of the main room. Sonic screwdriver in hand, I pressed the button and nailed the angel with a sonic boom. The angel exploded from the inside and stone rained down on me from everywhere.

"Haha!" I shouted in triumph. "One down!"

I saw a movement in the corner of my eye. Turning around and locating the angel, it immediately turned to stone. Another explosion.

My instincts kicked in and told me to turn around. Another explosion as the statue turned to dust on the floor.

(Derpy's Perspective)

Derpy groaned as she regained consciousness. Her already unique sight was, at the moment, all fuzzy. She tried standing on all fours, but lost her footing. Derpy thanked Celestia that she was a pegasus, using her wings to regain her balance. She started concentrating on what had happened.

Pinkie showed her her secret ingredient. Next, Pinkie poured it in, and there was a small explosion in the bowl. Then, they put the mixture in the oven.

Derpy tried remembering what happened after that. Nothing. She looked around, her vision returning.

The kitchen was clouded in grey smoke. Derpy couldn't see her hooves if she held them up to her face.

What she could see however, was a grey silhouette of a pony, about 10 metres away, lying on the floor.

"Pinkie?" Derpy called out.

(The Creator's perspective)

I was rushed. Three of them came at me from behind while I kept another at bay.

"Shit!" I exclaimed, actually scared for once in my life.

I whipped around to face two of them, but the third slipped through. I tried looking around at the angel, but time was not on my side.

Weeping Angels are said to be 'only psychopaths in the universe that kill you nicely'. I was about to find out what that meant. The Angel extended its reach and touched me.

My vision blurred. I hit felt the ground drop from beneath my feet, then come back again. The shock of the teleport made my knees collapse, and I hit the ground.

"Pinkie?" A voice called out.

I groaned. It had been a while since I'd teleported without the aid of my TARDIS. Whoever had just spoken must've mistaken me for their pet or something. 'Pinkie. That's an odd name, even for a pet.'

Nonetheless, I looked around. My sight returning, I saw smoke. I also saw the silhouette of some sort of equine creature, maybe a pony? It looked too small for a horse.

The pony approached me.

"Pinkie?" It asked. That's right, the pony talked. Now, I've seen talking trees before, so this thing didn't freak me out, but it did surprise me. Wasn't I meant to be on Earth?

"Pinkie? Is that you?" It asked again. The voice sounded female.

"I'm over here!" Another voice chimed in. This was also female. Pinkie, presumably.

"Wait, if you're over there, and I'm here, then..." The first voice started. "...who's that?"

"Now that is a good question!" I told them, regaining my voice.

The silhouettes jumped back. The smoke cleared. I jumped back. Never in my 907 years of being alive have I ever seen anything as, different, as these ponies.

One of them was pink with a bright pink mane, the other was grey with a yellow mane.

"Oh, nonononono, don't be scared. I won't hurt you." I told them.

"H-hello, mister. I'm Derpy, Derpy Hooves, and thi--”

"HI! My name's Pinkie Pie! You must be new here, because I know everyone in Ponyville, and I don't know you, so you must be new, so I have to throw you a party for being new here and welcome!" Pinkie Pie said without breathing.

I took in the situation. I had been transported into some sort of kitchen. There were two technicolor ponies staring at me. One was called Derpy Hooves, the other Pinkie Pie.

"Right. Well. This is different." I told them.

"Where did you come from?" Derpy asked, apparently intrigued.

"Earth." I replied.

"Who?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Earth. A planet. In the Milky Way galaxy. Do you even know what I am taking about?"

"Nope! I've never heard of any of those milk planets." Pinkie Pie told me.

"This planet is called Equus*," Derpy continued "and you definitely did not come from another planet. Although you did just appear here..."

Now I was really confused. Now I'm not even on Earth?!? What did that Angel do??

"Umm, okay. So, ah, let me get this straight. This planet, Equus, you called it?" Derpy nodded as I motioned towards her.

"Right. Gosh, I really don't know how this happened! This shouldn't have happened!" I breathed out in frustration and went to slide my hand through my hair. I do that when I'm trying to work something out. But at that moment, I looked down. Then pushed the thought away.

I thought I saw a hoof instead of a hand. Then I did a double take.

"What?" I asked no one in particular. "Wh-what? How? E-what?"

I really did have a hoof for a hand. I looked at the rest of my body. I, me, the Creator, was a pony. I brown colt, to be precise, with what looked like a dark drown mane.

"How did this happen? I didn't regenerate! The Angel didn't even hurt me! Actually, come to think of it, I don't know what it DID do..." I said.

"What are you talking about mister?" Derpy asked.

"Umm," I was still in shock. "It's kinda hard to explain. Put simply, I shouldn't look like this." I replied. "Do you have some sort of ruler, or king, queen, president...?"

"Princesses Celestia and Luna rule over Equestria. They are the best!" Pinkie Pie shouted out.

"Can either of you take me to them?" I asked the pair.

"Sorry, but I have to clean up this mess." The pink one said, somewhat sadly.

"And I can't either, mister. I have to report back to my work." Derpy told me. "But I do know somepony who probably can!"

"Who?" I asked.

"Twilight Sparkle. She's a unicorn who lives at the library. She's Princess Celestia's student."

"That's very helpful. Thanks." I, surprising, stood up and started making my way towards the door. I lifted my 'hoof', I guess, up to the door, hoping I might be able to grip and turn the knob. 'Huh. That actually worked.' I thought.

I started walking down the street. Then I tuned around.

"I have no idea where the library is." I announced as I walked back thought the door.

"Turn left, then follow the road. The library is the big tree, silly. Everypony knows that." Pinkie Pie said.

"Rightio!" I said, turned around, and proceeded out the door.

*I'm not completely sure that Equus their home planet. I only heard this off a friend. If you do know what it actually is, please comment and I will edit it in, as well as credit the user.
