Glory On The Side

"I don't care about Thunder! Just, FIND THEM!" Draken shifted his leg armor.

"Yes Sir." Draken flew off, causing all of the rebels to hide in a barrel.

"Ack!" Draco's claws grinded against the metal ring around the barrel. The king turned towards them, obviously awre he was not alone. Delilah trotted down the alley, returning to her father's side.

"Nopony down there father." The king looked around one last time before turning around and heading for the main path.

"Thank goodness!" The Doctor said, squeezing out of the barrel.

"Follow him?" Rainbow asked the Doctor with a mischievous smile.

The Doctor rubbed his hooves together. "Fantastic!"

"I can break you into the castle!" Griffon said, trotting for the main path.

"No!" The Doctor pulled him back by his tail. "If foo rifky!"

"Then what do we do?" Jack asked, spreading his wings.

"We find out what he wants us for." The Doctor rubbed his elbow. "I have a feeling it's more than just my TARDIS."

The Doctor flipped a switch on the control panel and leaned back in his swivel chair. Rainbow was playing cards with Griffon while Jack was leaning against the wall.

"Now, we just wait." The Doctor said pulling out a plate of muffins. "Muffins anyone?" Jack rolled his eyes and grabbed one.

"Where are we going now, Doc?" Rainbow asked, glancing over her shoulder.

"Oh, nowhere."

"..."

"As in we're in the same place." There were sighs all around. "I just went back in time. According to the TARDIS, we are in 5,000 BC."

"Woah..." Rainbow Dash's mouth hung open.

"I know, awesome! Am I right?"

"You mean, before Celestia?"

"What? No!" The Doctor slapped a hoof to his face. "Before Christ! Geez, don't you ponies get anything right?"
