The Adventure Begins (Part 1)
CHAPTER 1
“Wake up!!” Colgate yells.
Berry Punch opens her eyes and Colgate helps her out of bed.
“Hey, how are you feeling?”
“I have a headache, how about you?” sighs Berry Punch.
“I’m fine.”
“Colgate, when you were in Canterlot did you have any friends?”
“Sure there was Moondancer, Lemon Drops, Twinkleshine, and I guess Twilight Sparkle. Why do you ask?”
“Were they nicer to you than I am?”
“You’re the nicest friend I could have found in Ponyville. They were just snobs who liked fancy parties.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“You should get some rest now,” says Colgate.
Berry Punch lies back down on the bed and closes her eyes. Colgate goes downstairs and puts breakfast on the table for Berry Punch. She picks up a piece of paper and writes with a ballpoint pen: I am going out for a little. I will come back in the afternoon. Eat the food I left you and no drinking any alcohol until tomorrow, okay. Please. Your best friend Colgate
“That’s good enough, now let’s get some fresh air,” mutters Colgate to herself as she puts the
letter next to the food and walks out the door.
It was a sunny day in Ponyville. As Colgate was walking, she notices Ditzy Doo and Carrot Top coming out of their dorm.
“Hey Ditzy Doo, Carrot Top!”
“Oh…well hello Colgate” Ditzy Doo says.
“What are you guys up to today?”
“Not much Colgate – we were about to go to the Café” Carrot Top says.
“Do you . . . want to come?” Ditzy Doo’s eyes pop up.
“I would love to. And I’ll pay, but do you mind if I meet you there. Berry Punch would be mad if I go there without her. It’s her favorite restaurant” Colgate says happily.
“Sure go ahead Colgate”
Colgate runs back home to get Berry Punch. She bursts through the door, and runs up the stairs to find Berry Punch on the floor choking.
“Oh my god!” Colgate screams. She immediately turns Berry Punch over on her stomach.
“Please be okay, Please, Please, Please,” she repeats over and over.
Berry Punch opens her eyes and starts coughing.
“Oh my god! You’re okay,” Colgate smiles.
“What happened?” Berry Punch asks.
“Berry, you’re drinking has to stop,” Colgate says.
“I can’t, I just can’t.”
“Everybody can. You know Donut Joe?” asks Colgate.
“Yes, he has a donut store in the Gala every year.”
“He used to drink, but now he has been sober for years,” Colgate says proudly.
“I just…” Berry Punch falls into Colgate’s arms.
“It’s okay” Colgate says sadly.
“Can we go somewhere to eat?” Berry Punch asks.
“Do you want to go to the Café with Carrot Top and Ditzy Doo or keep sleeping?”
“I would love to go eat with Carrot Top and Ditzy Doo, but I have to wash myself off first.”
“Okay, call me when you’re ready to leave, I’ll be downstairs.”
Colgate walks down the stairs and sits down at the table. She picks up the note and tears it into pieces.
“I’m ready Colgate!!” Berry Punch yells as she marches down the stairs.
“Okay let’s go,” they say together as they walk outside.
“It’s a nice day today.”
“Yes it is Berry.”
“Are you mad at me?” she asks.
“Of course not. I was worried about you” Colgate says sadly.
“Oh, good. I’m glad you aren’t angry.”
“Here we are.”
They walk inside and Carrot Top and Ditzy Doo wave to them. They sit down on the empty seats next to them.
“Hey Berry Punch, how is it going today?” asks Carrot Top.
“Fine, I guess.”
“Good, I’m glad you could make it” Carrot Top says.
“So what are you going to get Berry Punch? I’m getting the H.L.T.” Colgate says.
“I’ll just get some hay fries”
“Me and Carrot Top…already ordered while we were waiting,” explains Ditzy Doo.
The waiter comes and takes their orders.
As the waiter walks away Colgate shouts, “Wait, I would like some punch for the four of us!”
“Oh, non-alcoholic?” asks the waiter.
“Yes please” Colgate says sweetly.
“Alright then, I’ll get that for you right away.”
“Colgate, is everything okay?” Carrot Top asks.
“Ya, you seem sad and worried,” Ditzy Doo agrees.
“No, we have had some drinking problems but that’s all. It’s okay.”
“If you say so,” nods Carrot Top.
The waiter brings the food to the table.
“The Daffodil and Daisy Sandwich” the waiter says.
“That’s . . . me” says Ditzy Doo.
“The Tomato and hay soup?”
Carrot Top nods “That would be me.”
“The H.L.T?”
“For me”
“And that leaves the fries for you.”
“Thank you so much for the food”
The waiter walks away and the four ponies start eating. For the first time in the day a smile goes across Berry Punch’s face.
“This is amazing,” she exclaims.
“Wonderful.”
“Fantastic.”
“This is the best H.L.T I’ve ever had.”
Finally they finish their food. The waiter comes over with the check.
“Thank you so much for this delicious food” Berry Punch says.
“Oh, you’re welcome. We hope to see you again.”
“Bye” Ditsy Doo says.
“Okay, we’ll see you two later.”
Colgate and Berry Punch wave goodbye and head off to the schoolyard to pick up Berry Punch’s little sisters. When they get to the school, Berry Punch asks Colgate to wait while she goes inside to get her baby sisters.
“Okay I’ll wait here” Colgate agrees.
Berry Punch walks up to the playground where one sister is.
“Pinchy, I’m here to pick you up” Berry Punch calls.
“Coming sis, just need to get my stuff.”
“Okay you be quick about it though, Colgate is here.”
“Huh, she is! Okay I’ll be right there!”
The little filly ran up to Colgate and gave her a big hug.
“Hey Berry Pinch!! How’s it going?” Colgate says.
“Great! Dinky Doo and Tootsie Flute played jump rope! And I got a record!”
“That’s great, what was it?”
“78!!!” Berry Pinch shouts.
“Okay Pinchy let me go find Piña Colada.”
Berry Punch walks up to Piña Colada and taps her with her hooves.
“Wah!” Piña Colada yells.
“Sorry, Didn’t mean to startle you!”
“It’s okay. Berry Pinch told me that Colgate is here.”
“Yes she is.”
“Hey!” Colgate calls.
“Hey Colgate!” Piña Colada squeaks.
“Come on girls we should let Colgate go home.”
“Oh, I’m fine. I can walk back with you three.”
“Okay, fine.”
“YAY!!” the two fillies scream.
Colgate and the three sisters walk through Ponyville until they reach Berry Punch’s house. Suddenly Berry Punch stops in her tracks.
“What is it sis?” Colada asks.
“I forgot my bag at the café. I have to go back and get it, will you watch out for the little fillies?”
“Of course” Colgate says.
Berry Punch hands the keys to Colgate and shoots off like a bullet. Colgate unlocks the door and the two sisters run straight through.
“Wait a minute little fillies!” Colgate yells.
“Colgate! What do you want to play?”
“Whatever you want,” Colgate says.
“Jump Rope!!!!” Piña Colada screams.
“No, Pin the tail on the pony!!!” Berry Pinch yells.
“Okay now how about we do a little of both”
“Okay!!!!!!!!!!”
“Ow, that was really loud!” Berry Pinch yells.
“Don’t tell me what to do!!” Piña Colada yells.
“Don’t tell me what to do” Pinchy says back.
“Don’t tell me wh…”
“Be quiet!!!! For me!” Colgate yells.
“We are sorry”
“It’s okay little fillies, sisters always fight”
“Okay now, let’s play some games!” Berry Pinch squeaks.
Berry Pinch and Piña Colada run and get the pony board and paste it on the wall. Piña Colada gets the blindfold and wraps it around Berry Pinch’s eyes.
“Pin the Tail!” she screams.
Berry Pinch walks up to the board and pins it right on the tail.
“You did it!!” Piña Colada screams.
“Oh my god!” Berry Pinch jumps up and down.
“Let’s play jump rope!” Piña Colada squeaks.
Suddenly Berry Punch comes inside. The two girls shrink down and Colgate goes up to the door.
“Okay kids I’m…back” Berry Punch says.
“Okay I better get home now” Colgate says while touching the doorknob.
“Bye Colgate!” the sisters say at once.
“Bye, little fillies!” Colgate says as she walks out the door.
“Okay girls do you want to watch some TV before bed?”
“Yes please!” Piña Colada yells.
“Okay but promise me you won’t ask to watch another episode!”
“We Promise!!”
***
Colgate had almost reached her house when she sees a small pony running towards the Everfree Forest. Colgate runs towards the filly who had a coat the color of violet wildflowers and a mustard yellow mane.
“Wait, don’t go in there!” Colgate yells.
The filly doesn’t seem to listen and hops into the forest. Colgate follows her. She tosses the branches away from her face trying to catch up with the young filly. Finally the filly stops in front of a hut.
“What? a house in the forest?” Colgate mutters to herself.
The filly walks inside. Colgate quickly follows and puts her ear up to the door.
“My little filly, don’t be silly. I’m in no place to give you a taste” a voice says.
“Oh, please!” the filly cries.
Colgate opens the door to find a zebra with the filly.
“What are you doing with the filly?” Colgate yells.
“No! Don’t yell at her! it was my fault!”
“The filly was…” the Zebra begins.
“Enough with your rhymes! I’m bringing this little filly home!” announces Colgate.
The filly and Colgate walk out the door and Colgate directs her out of the forest.
“Who are you?” the filly asks.
“I’m Colgate, and you shouldn’t be with strangers.”
“She’s not a stranger, she’s a friend!”
“What’s your name?”
“Dinky Doo.”
“I’m sorry Dinky Doo, but you should go back home. I know your friend Berry Pinch and she would be worried if she knew you were walking alone into the Everfree Forest.”
“Okay.”
Dinky Doo runs away. Colgate sighs and walks back home. She opens the door and sits at her dining room table. She picks up a bottle of wine and cuts a piece of bread. Colgate takes a chug of the wine and a bite of the bread. She walks up the stairs and goes into her room. She picks up some foalgate and brushes her teeth. She goes to the bedroom and picks up where she had left off reading Daring Do and the Sapphire Stone.
“Well that was a tiring day” Colgate mutters to herself.
Turning to the right page, she adjusts her pillow. Colgate rolls her eyes and puts down the book on the counter.
“I’m going to bed.”
***
Berry Punch awakes to find Piña Colada and Berry Pinch jumping on her bed.
“What are you doing!” she screams.
“It’s school time!” Piña Colada squeaks.
“Oh hay!” Berry Punch gets out of bed and runs downstairs.
Berry Punch quickly packs them some lunch.
“Here are your lunches girls.”
“Thanks!” Piña Colada says.
Berry Pinch and Berry Punch run out the door, following their sister Piña Colada who has already bounced out on her way to school. They get to the schoolyard and the two fillies run into the school and into their classroom.
“Sorry we’re late Ms. Cheerilee” Berry Pinch says.
“It’s okay girls” Cheerilee says.
Piña Colada and Berry Pinch sit down at their seats and look at Cheerilee.
“Okay class, turn to page 150 in The History of Equestria”
***
The very same morning Carrot Top and Ditzy Doo are sitting in their dining room eating breakfast.
“Where did you go yesterday after the café!!” she yells.
“Stop yelling at me” Ditzy Doo says softly.
“I’m sorry, just please tell me” Carrot Top says.
Ditzy Doo gets out of her chair and stomps upstairs.
“Come on Ditzy Doo! Don’t go upstairs,” Carrot Top shouts.
“I was helping… Rainbow Dash clear… the clouds” Ditzy Doo stutters.
Carrot Top yells ”Liar!”
Ditzy Doo comes downstairs and walks out the door. She walks past the schoolyard and Town Hall and finally reaches the Everfree Forest. She walks up to a blue box and knocks on the door.
“Doctor!”
“Is that you Ditzy?”
“Yes, Doctor”
A stallion opens the door and welcomes Ditzy in. The inside is ten times bigger than the outside.
“Where do you want to go today?” the Doctor says.
“I want to see the founding of Equestria” Ditzy says.
The stallion that Ditzy called the Doctor nods and pulls a few switches. A loud sound rings through the air and suddenly everything is silent. Ditzy smiles and opens the door. Ditzy looks around and finds herself in a big building. The walls are decorated with peppermint candies, cups of pudding, and pink and blue cupcakes. She steps onto the floor and notices rotting oak panels making cool little patterns. Suddenly three royal guards come running at them and knock them over.
“Infiltration!” one of the guards shouts.
“Now what do we have here,” asks a pudding-colored earth pony.
“They came out of this blue box, Chancellor Puddinghead.”
“Smart Cookie!!” Chancellor Puddinghead calls.
A tan pony comes running over to the Chancellor.
“Yes Chancellor” Smart Cookie says.
“Introduce these two ponies to our land”
“Are you sure that that’s a good idea?” Smart Cookie says.
“Are you questioning me?” Chancellor Puddinghead asks.
“No, but there is a blizzard outside,” she replies.
“What is it going to do?” Chancellor Puddinghead dismissively responds, opening the door.
Piles of snow come on top of the Chancellor. The Doctor winks at Ditzy. Ditzy smiles and continues to watch. Suddenly a beautiful mare comes walking in the door. Her purple coat matches her crown and robe perfectly. She smirks at the Doctor and Ditzy, directs her words at Chancellor Puddinghead, “Well, look who is just like she always is.”
“Princess Platinum! What are you doing here?” Smart Cookie asks angrily.
“We’re having a meeting at the Unicorn Castle and I expect all the leaders of the pony tribes to be there” Princess Platinum snappily says.
“Get your snobby ponyself out of here” Smart Cookie says angrily.
Princess Platinum sneers at Smart Cookie and walks out the door. Chancellor Puddinghead pops out of the snow.
“Well, I have to go to Unicorn Castle!” the Chancellor squeaks.
“Try to convince them to agree” Smart Cookie says sadly.
Chancellor Pudding head nods and walks out the door. Smart Cookie sighs and goes into the other room. The Doctor runs over to the door that says in big Gold letters: CHANCELLOR PUDDINGHEAD
“Well Ditzy, come along” the Doctor says while fiddling with his Sonic Screwdriver.
The door opens and Ditzy walks in quietly with the Doctor. The Doctor opens the cabinet doors to discover shelves stuffed with papers.
“Well Ditzy, are you ready?” the Doctor says.
The Doctor looks at the pages and most are covered with portraits of Puddinghead. He looks at other pages and finds autobiographical stories about her.
“I think we found a narcissist,” the Doctor says.
Outside Smart Cookie is walking towards the door. The Doctor picks up Ditzy and hides behind the curtain. Smart Cookie opens the door and looks around. She notices the stray papers on the desk. She walks over to them and looks at them.
“Ha Ha! She sure is an awful author,” Smart Cookie laughs.
Smart Cookie walks over to the curtain and opens it. The Doctor looks at Ditzy and then Smart Cookie.
“Um, hello” the Doctor says.
“I went inside your blue box,” she replies calmly.
“What?” the Doctor yells.
“Are you some sort of alien?” Smart Cookie asks.
“Wow, you’re the only person who’s ever guessed that,” the Doctor nods.
“Why do you have a northern accent then?”
“Lots of planets have a north,” the Doctor says happily.
“Oh,” Smart Cookie says.
“You’re an alien?” Ditzy Doo asks.

The Adventure Begins (Part 2)
CHAPTER 2
“Happy Birthday to you!”
Piña Colada and Berry Pinch blow out the candles.
“Here are your presents girls,” Berry Punch says.
“Yay!” Piña Colada squeaks.
The two girls open up the presents and give everypony hugs.
“Okay that’s all the presents,” Berry Punch says.
“No it isn’t. My present is outside,” Colgate says.
The two fillies walk outside and find a big tree house in the yard. The two sisters and Berry Punch’s mouths dropped.
“Thank you, Colgate!”
“You’re welcome, girls,” Colgate says.
“When did you put this up?” Berry Punch asks.
“When you were making the cake” Colgate says.
“Wow, thank you, Colgate,” Berry Punch says.
Colgate smiles and the other guests walk back inside. All the guests wave goodbye and walk out the door blowing birthday kisses to the girls. Berry Punch waits till everybody leaves except for Colgate and Carrot Top. She sends the girls upstairs to bed and then turns towards Carrot Top.
“Where is Ditzy?” Berry Punch asks.
“He left yesterday morning, I haven’t seen him since,” Carrot Top says.
“I was wondering why she wasn’t here,” Colgate says.
“He said that he was helping Rainbow with clearing the skies…”
“It’s okay, we’ll find her,” Colgate says proudly.
“No, you should help Berry with her problems…I will figure this out”
“I know this sounds weird but I found some weird zebra in the Everfree Forest…” Colgate is cut off.
“Uh huh,” Carrot Top nods.
“She might know were Ditzy is.”
“I’ll go tonight, can I have some directions?” Carrot Top asks.
“I don’t think I have a map of Ponyville,” Colgate says sadly.
“Can you try to find one?” Berry Punch suggests.
Colgate nods and runs up the stairs. She walks into the bedroom and searches inside her saddlebag. She finds the map and picks it up. Suddenly a big gust of wind blows through the open window, the map flies out of Colgate’s hands and lands on the bed. Colgate looks at the map and finds a picture of a blue box. Colgate runs down the stairs and shows Carrot Top.
“We have to find this box somewhere in Ponyville: it’s a clue!” Colgate yells.
“Who drew that?” Berry Punch asks.
“It must have been the filly I found in the forest with the zebra,” Colgate says.
“Huh, what filly?” Berry Punch replies.
“There was a filly with the zebra, the filly must of drew this picture on the back of a map and snuck it into my saddlebag,” Colgate smiles and jumps up and down.
“Okay I’ll look for it, Colgate,” Carrot Top says.
“Yes!”
“Good luck!” Berry Punch says.
Carrot Top walks out the door and suddenly Colgate’s smile turns into a frown. There is silence for a couple seconds. Then Berry Punch turns her head towards Colgate to find her frowning.
“What’s wrong, Colgate?”
“I lied, I know what the box is,” Colgate says sullenly.
“What? Why didn’t you tell her?” Berry Punch asks.
“Because he would kill me.”
“He?” Berry Punch looks quizzically at Colgate.
“The Doctor,” Colgate says.
“Doctor Who?” Berry Punch asks.
“It’s just the Doctor,” Colgate says.
“What is the machine?”
“It’s called the TARDIS, Time in Relative Dimension in Space”
“What does it do?”
“It goes to the past, it goes to the future, it goes to different planets…” Colgate goes on.
“Okay, Okay, I believe you…I just have one question”
“Uh huh” Colgate nods.
“Is that why you have your hourglass as a cutie mark?”
“I was his partner for years and years and years a…”
“Okay I will take that as a yes,” Berry Punch rolls her eyes.
“I have to go home,” Colgate says.
“Okay, Colgate.”
Colgate walks out the door and finds herself home soon after. She walks up the stairs and into the bedroom. She pulls the covers over her body and closes her eyes. A dream emerges in her mind.
Colgate is running from these weird creatures with gas masks fused to the coat. The creatures repeat the same word over and over again, “Are you my mummy?” Colgate hits her flank on the wall and closes her eyes. A stallion pops up in front of Colgate.
The stallion yells, “Go to your room!”
The gas mask ponies walk away from the stallion and Colgate. Colgate opens her eyes.
“Well, hello there.”
“Who are you?” Colgate asks.
“I’m the Doctor,” he says.
“I’m Colgate.”
Suddenly the dream flashes to a new place. Thousands of Daleks surround the Doctor and Colgate. Colgate’s eyes shine yellow. She picks up her hand and incinerates all of the Daleks. Then she flashes to another place where she sees herself running towards the Doctor. An android points a laser towards her back.
“You are the weakest link,” the android says.
The gun is fired and right before it hits Colgate’s back she wakes up. Colgate sits up on the bed. She is breathing very heavily. She pulls the covers off and walks downstairs. Colgate walks over to the kitchen cabinet and pulls out a big book. She is about to open the first page when somepony knocks on the door. She hides the book and opens the door to Berry Punch standing on the porch.
“Oh, hi,” Colgate says.
“Hi! There is big news, Carrot Top talked to that zeb…” Berry Punch is cut off.
“Are you drunk?” Colgate asks.
“Um…”
“Come on, Berry!” Colgate yells.
“Uh… I’m sorry…” Berry Punch says sadly.
“You need help with this, Berry,” Colgate says.
“Okay… Can I say what I was going to say?” Berry Punch says persistently.
“Sure, Colgate sighs.
“Okay… so the zebra said that a filly was asking about the blue box,” Berry Punch puts her hand on her head.
“Huh, the zebra was saying something about not being able to taste…” Colgate thinks out loud.
“Wait, there i…” Berry Punch falls on her head.
“Berry!” Colgate yells.
***
“I meant to tell you, Ditzy,” The Doctor says.
“No…I don’t care…I think it’s…cool” Ditzy stutters.
“Fantastic! Now back to you, Smart Cookie” The Doctor makes a big smile.
“What about me?” Smart Cookie asks.
“You can’t tell anyone about the TARDIS” The Doctor looks at Smart Cookie.
“I won’t, I promise” Smart Cookie says quickly.
“Good, Bye Bye,” The Doctor says as him and Ditzy walk out.
“Wait where are you goi…”
The Doctor and Ditzy open the door to the TARDIS. The sound begins to ring and they disappear gradually. They step out of the door and find themselves right outside of a giant castle. They step outside and reach the door before they are blown away. The inside is filled with walls covered in gold leaf. The ceiling is painted with unicorn ponies playing together. The floor is made out of lapis lazuli tiles.
“Wow” Ditzy mutters to herself.
“HALT!” A guard appears in front of them.
The Doctor walks past the guard and winks at Ditzy. She does the same.
“HALT” He repeats.
They keep walking until they reach the room that says Meeting Room. They put their ear up to the door and hear arguing from three different ponies. They hear footsteps and shouting. The handle moves and the Doctor pulls Ditzy behind a counter positioned at the end of the room. Three ponies walk out of the door, a volcano red pegasus pony, Princess Platinum and Chancellor Puddinghead. They all go out the exit and head their separate ways. Suddenly, a stallion and a filly walk inside.
“That’s you and…and…and…Colgate as a filly,” Ditzy whispers.
“You know her?” The Doctor asks.
“You know her?” Ditzy asks.
“She was my old partner,” the Doctor said.
“What…She knows about the TARDIS?”
“Yes…She left a couple years ago, I’ve never seen her since.” The Doctor frowns.
“She lives in Ponyville,” Ditzy says.
“What?” The Doctor asks.
Ditzy nods. The Doctor looks back at Colgate.
“Can you do me a favor? When we go back to Ponyville will you bring me to her?” he asks.
“Um…okay…” Ditzy stutters.
“Are you about to ask about her cutie mark?” The Doctor asks.
“How did you know?”
The Doctor puts his hoof up to his mouth, “You can’t tell anybody, but Colgate is what I am: a Timelord”
“Colgate… is an alien also?” Ditzy stutters.
“Yes. The Timelords are trying to track her down,” The Doctor explains.
“I won’t say a word…” Ditzy is cut off.
“Not even to Colgate.”
“Not even to Colgate,” Ditzy replies.
“Good, now enough with melodrama. Let’s get back to the TARDIS.”
The Doctor and Ditzy sneak outside and find two TARDIS’s. The Doctor looks at Ditzy and shrugs.
“Which one?” Ditzy asks.
“Um…I think the one on the left.”
“Okay.”
They walk inside the TARDIS on the left and start up the engine. The sounds ring and they’re gone. They hit a cloud which covers the TADIS in grey smog. Suddenly the TARDIS is slammed into something.
“Woah!” The Doctor yells in joy.
“This…is fun,” Ditzy says.
The TARDIS lands and they step out. Ditzy smiles and touches the dirt.
“Now, where is Colgate?” The Doctor asks.
“Um, follow me,” Ditzy replies.
They walk together in silence until they reach Colgate’s house. Ditzy knocks on the door. No reply. She rings the doorbell. No reply.
“She must not be here,” Ditzy says sadly.
“Well we have to find her,” The Doctor says.
They walk again in silence, when they finally find her coming out of the hospital. She turns towards them, her mouth drops.
“You’re not taking me away!” she shouts.
“I’m not here to hurt you Colgate,” The Doctor says.
“What?………” Colgate asks.
“I just wanted to see how you turned out as an adult,” the Doctor smiles.
“What are you doing with Ditzy? We’ve been looking everywhere for her.
“She’s my new partner.”
“Ditzy…” Colgate mutters.
“Hi Colgate!” Ditzy says happily.
“I can sense that there is something wrong with you.” The Doctor says to Colgate.
“Berry Punch…cracked her head open.” Colgate looks at the ground.
“Is she okay?” Ditzy shouts.
“She’s fine,” Colgate says sullenly.
“Oh good!” Ditzy says.
“Who’s Berry Punch?” The Doctor asks.
“She’s Colgate’s best friend” Ditzy whispers in the Doctors ear.
“Oh, wish her good luck,” the Doctor says.
“Thanks, Doctor” Colgate says.
As Colgate walks passed, Ditzy she says, “Carrot Top is looking for you”
Colgate walks away and Ditzy looks at The Doctor.
“Who’s Carrot Top?” The Doctor asks.
“She is my roommate,” Ditzy says.
“You guys have so many friends,” the Doctor smirks.
***
Berry Punch lays down on the hospital bed. Bandages wrap around the top of her head, which covers her mane. She has been looking at the door for 20 minutes now. A doctor walks in.
“Berry Punch, you’ll be out of the hospital by tomorrow,” he says.
“Really? That’s a relief” Berry Punch says.
“It sure is, make sure to rest, no standing up,” the doctor says strictly.
“Yes sir!” she says.
The doctor leaves the room and Berry Punch sighs. She is about to close her eyes when Carrot Top bursts through the door.
“I just heard! We came as soon as we could!” Carrot Top yells.
“We?” Berry Punch asks.
“Ditzy is back,” Carrot Top smiles.
“Oh, good,” Berry Punch says.
Ditzy Doo walks inside timidly, she smiles at Berry Punch and then looks back at Carrot Top.
“Hi, Berry!” Ditzy says.
“We were very nervous about you, Ditzy” Berry Punch says.
“I know, I’ll tell you about it when you’re feeling better,” Ditzy replies.
“Okay we will let you rest now, Berry,” Carrot Top says.
They walk out the door and Berry Punch closes her eyes. Without her knowing a robotic creature is hovering above her room.
“EXTERMINATE!” the robot says.
***
The Doctor is about to get inside the TARDIS when he hears from a far off distance “EXTERMINATE!” The Doctor runs towards the sound he cuts corners and runs into the hospital. He runs inside the elevator.
“Floor 5!” The Doctor says.
The Doctor spreads out his hooves and water comes pouring out, then he is blow-dried. The elevator doors open and he runs out. He breaks down the door of Berry Punches room to find a robot hovering over Berry Punch.
“Get away from her, you filthy Dalek!” the Doctor shouts.
“EXTERMINATE!” the Dalek says.
“I do…” the Doctor is interrupted.
Colgate runs inside, she looks at the Doctor and then at the Dalek.
“Get away from Berry!” Colgate yells.
“EXTERMINATE”
“Shut up!” Colgate’s horn flashes.
Yellow lights absorb Colgate’s eyes, she puts up her hoof and incinerates the Dalek. Colgate looks at Berry Punch whose eyes are open and then at the Doctor. The lights go away from Colgate’s eyes.
“Impressive!” the Doctor says.
“I learned how to activate the heart of the TARDIS and then send it back,” Colgate says proudly.
“When?” the Doctor asks.
“I’ll tell you later, I have to talk to Berry” Colgate says.
“Okay,” the Doctor smirks.
“What was that all about?” Berry Punch asks.
“I have things to tell you later…right now I’m just glad you’re safe,” Colgate hugs Berry Punch.
“I didn’t know that you were that powerful!”
“I can have my own tricks here and there,” Colgate smiles.
***
“You won’t… believe me… if I tell you,” Ditzy stutters.
“Yes I will, I promise,” Carrot Top says.
“I’m going forward… and back in time with a…stallion named the Doctor in a time machine called… the TARDIS,” Ditzy says.
“How… I mean, why?”
“Because it makes me…feel powerful,” Ditzy says.
“Okay, why didn’t you say so at first?” Carrot Top asks.
“I was worried that you wouldn’t…believe me.”
“Don’t be silly, I always believe you.”
“Thank you!” Ditzy hugs Carrot Top.
They release their grip on each other. Carrot Top grabs glasses out of the counter and pours some wine in them.
“Cheers!” they crash their glasses together and start drinking.
A knock on the door surprises the two ponies. Ditzy gets up and opens the door. Colgate, Berry Punch and the two little sisters were standing at the door.
“Um…Hello guys,” Ditzy says.
“Hi Ditzy we wanted to have a welcome back party!” Piña Colada screams.
“Oh…okay,” Ditzy stutters.
“Wait! You forgot me!” the Doctor runs inside.
“Who’s this?” Carrot Top asks.
“This…is the Doctor,” Ditzy replies.
“Oh! Nice to meet you…Doctor,” Carrot Top smiles.
“Nice to meet you, too,” the Doctor says.
“Could I talk to the Doctor for a second?” Colgate asks.
“Of course,” Carrot Top cuts in.
“What is it, Colgate?” the Doctor asks.
“You better keep Ditzy safe!” Colgate says strictly.
“I will,” the Doctor replies.
“And if you tell any of the Timelords that I’m in Ponyville…I’ll destroy your TARDIS.” Colgate stares straight in to the Doctor’s eyes.
“O…okay,” the Doctor falls backwards.
“And…it’s nice to see you again Doctor!” Colgate picks up the Doctor.
“You got me nervous for a second,” the Doctor says.
“You know I have to tell them that I’m not from this world,” Colgate says.
“Yes, I know.”
“Well, I better go do that,” Colgate smiles.
Colgate walks away and from the other room the Doctor only hears “I’m a Timelady, the same as the Doctor,” and then just gasps.
“Ponies never were good at understanding,” the Doctor mutters to himself.
