Creativity is Chaos!

“Sorry folks. No short comment today about why I am starting up again, and what happened last time when the Doctor came storming in! I’d rather not go over it again... I made too many un-manly noises....” Shiver “Anyway! Onwards with the story!”

====(This is a Line)====

        I quickly sneaked across the towns park. It was dark so I was pretty hard to see, but the light from the moon was very bright, so I would still have to be careful. I continued sneaking towards the giant, monstrous, clocktower. Apparently it was the home of my target, the local clock keeper. I still didn’t understand how these ponies had been able to construct such a beautiful and gigantic piece of machinery. Honestly I was shocked how they could construct something so... “modern”, and tall without the use of construction equipment, and engines to power them. Then again (according to Big Mac) they had magic, so I guess I shouldn’t have been that surprised.        I approached the small oak door, and tried to jimmy the lock (which I had honestly never done before.) I was actually quite surprised that the door simply opened as I had leaned against it. I looked at it in confusion for a second. Isn’t this guy afraid that someone might try to take his stuff? I looked at the door trying to figure this clock keeper out, when I heard the clanking of hooves in armor. I turned my head in that direction and quickly (yet quietly) entered the clock Tower.I put my ear to the door, and looked through the key-hole as what appeared to be the royal guards, or the possible police force they had around here. Apparently word of my little “run” through town had reached the ears of the police. I facepalmed myself, and continued watching as the guards walked back towards the town center, which I passed on my way here.        I sighed, and wiped a bit of sweat from my brow, and turned towards the innards of the clock tower. Honestly I will tell you now... I love old things. I love the rusted things, the antiques, the brass and copper, and I ESPECIALLY love the clocks, so I couldn’t help but smile at the giant cogs and gears that spun all around me. I walked normally, my steps matching those of the loud ticking of the seconds hand at the top of the clock tower. I figured I wouldn’t need to be quiet if I matched the noise up to my steps. He didn’t seem to be at the bottom (which just had a couch, a radio, and a coffee table as far as I could tell.) He must have been at the top since it seemed to be the only place he could have gone.        (To save you from telling you each step I took lets just skip to the top of the tower.) I sat down at the top of the steps, breathing a little heavy. “Ugh... Never.... again...” I whispered to myself. I looked down from the top of the tower, and then quickly moved away again. I hated heights, absolutely hated them. The sight of the 2-3 stories I could have fallen down was enough to scare me. I quickly (and wobbly) got up to my feet, and put my hand on the door, trying not to look down, or over the edge of the railing. I was actually surprised that this door was not locked either.Ok either this guy is extremely sure he’s in a safe place and would have no need to lock the doors, or he’s just a idiot. I turned the knob, and peered inside. It didn’t appear like anyone was home. The light was one, which was very bright in the room. On three of the four walls were just covered in ordinary brick and the clock face, and the giant metal poles, and gears sticking straight out of the middle of the floor, all of which there was nothing to be seen in the room, and therefor, no ONE to be seen. But then why was is so well lit? So the ponies outside can see the clock tower at night, probably I told myself. I was about to turn and leave when I noticed something through the crack of the hatch, where it was hinged to the floor.        “No.... it couldn’t be....” I said out loud, not believing what I saw in the corner of the clock tower. “... But that’s... that’s impossible... he doesn’t even exist! He’s a TV character! ....”Now... you know those times when you have something absolutely unbelievable, and completely amazing happen to you? Like say you become best friends with your favorite Celebrity? Or you have just aced the end of the year exam, in your hardest class? Yeah.... Now imagine that times ten thousand, and you’re halfway there.I approached the strange, yet ever so familiar Blue Box, in the corner of the room. I looked upon it for a moment, not believing what my eyes are telling me. Either this was a near EXACT replica of the TARDIS, and the Time Keeper was a fan of the show from another Dimension, or this was indeed, THE TARDIS.I gently laid my hand against the blue paint, feeling a faint hum. I felt it through my whole arm, a sort of warmth, and calmness seeping over me through my arm, giving me the strangest vibe that the box was alive. I quickly pulled my hand away, unsure what to do. This was truly not what I was expecting...“.... By the Gods... it... it’s the real deal! Ha!” I nearly yelled out the “Ha!” bit, as I was extremely over excited. It had to be the real TARDIS! Why else would anyone hold it up here?! The “Clock Keeper” was a cover for him! That way he could go through-out town without attracting attention to himself!But.... wait.... Why would he want to lay low? Isn’t he bipedal? Wouldn’t he stick out like a sore thumb? This thought crossed my mind for only a few moments until I heard the hatch creaking open behind me. Oh crap. I thought to myself. I slowly turned to see who was behind me. What I saw was a little bit more then I was expecting, but I guess at this point anything would surprise me at this point.The grey pegasus just stopped and stared at me for a moment, her mouth hanging slightly open. Her eyes were very wrong, as one looked up towards the ceiling while the other was looking dead at me. They were a deep golden blonde color, as was her mane and tail. She had a bubble based cutiemark on her flank, and a mailbag like pack on her back. Something else I noticed was a glitter of light from what looked to be a key tied around the end of her mane. I almost immediately noticed it as the TARDIS key, due to how many times I had seen a close up of it on the show.        Apparently she had noticed me staring at it, as he wall-eye, looked straight to the key attached to her mane. She let out the slightest gasp, and both of her eyes focused right at the box, then back to me and back between us again. Oh crap! Ok think- think! She’s starting to get the wrong idea! Ok ok ok so.... If I approach her, she will assume I’m moving for the key. If I stay still the odds are likely we will go into a staring match, which I don’t even think she can do. So...I had an idea, but I had to act quickly before she tried to fly away. The second she began to slowly open her wings, I knew she was going to try to fly away. I didn’t want her to leave! She could probably answer a few of my never-ending mountain of questions. Ok... Time to run away! I couldn’t see her, but I thought that I would hear her hoof steps on the wood floor. Only I didn’t. Instead what I DID hear was a slight “thwumping” noise, as if a large bird flapping it’s wings quietly. I didn’t make sense of it, until I heard the sound of hooves landing on wood, above my head. Right then I would have facepalmed, but instead I just slowly looked up the box towards the top of it. The Mare was staring down at me, look as if she had felt guilty, which I guess she did. She must have thought she had honestly scared me (which I won’t lie, she actually did, when she came upstairs.) I looked down myself, feeling a bit ashamed that I had made her assume that. But she seemed to take it as only a sign of me being more afraid.“Hey... It’s alright... I’m not going to hurt you.” She said delicately. Her voice was soft, and kind, and it had a child like innocence to it. I slowly looked back up to where she had been- only she wasn’t there. Instead she was sitting on the other side of me, which I didn’t notice until I turned the other way. I nearly had a heart attack right there and then. Since when had she become so stealthy?!“Ah!” I shouted and scooted back a few feet, hitting my head against the door handle of the Box. “Ow...” I said rubbing the back of my head with my hand, and looked back up to her, only to see the concern in her eyes.        “Oops.... Sorry?” She said innocently, with a cute face, that even if I wanted to, for some reason I couldn’t stay mad at her for having.        I rubbed the back of my neck for a second. “It’s ok... in all honestly I wasn’t really scared... I just did that so you would stay and talk, instead of flying away and telling the police...” I looked away from her, just as her head turned towards me.“Police? We don’t have any Police in Equestria... We just have the Royal Guard.” She said, a little confused by what I had said.        I raised my eyebrow and looked at her. “So those are the Royal Guards looking for me?” I asked her, which only made me even more confused. “I’ve heard about a “Princess” before, but Mac couldn’t tell me much about the Government. Said he wasn’t one much for Politics.”        She gave the cutest giggle I’d heard before, which almost made me want to go- “daww....” But I didn’t.... that would have been rude... and unmanly.... “Yeah that sounds like Big Mac.... He’s not much for the Government, but he’s a lot smarter than he lets on. I Like to talk with him every now and then while I deliver their mail... although sometimes I gotta get Mac for help, because they seem to get a lot of trees in the mail...” She said thinking for a moment.        I laughed lightly at that. “Oh so what? They get like a whole bunch of letters in the mail? Like a wagon full or something?” I said, not believing it was possible for someone to get that much mail.        She just looked at me like, scrunching up her nose for a minute. “No... They get ACTUAL Tree’s in the mail.... Apple Tree’s shipped straight from all over Equestria... Most are from Appleoosa though.” She said nonchalantly, which shocked me a little. Who sent a tree in the mail? I thought to myself until I realized something. I didn’t even know who this... “Mare” I think the proper term is- was, or why she was here even! Eventually my curiosity got the better of me and I had to ask. Before I could though, she had beaten me too it. “I’m sorry about before but... Who exactly are you? And what are you doing here?” She asked me rather seriously.        “Uh.... my name is Alex.... That’s kinda what most anyone I know calls me...” I chuckled a little uncomfortably, but continued on “and uh... well I was kinda told to come here to visit the towns Clock Keeper. Mac said he is mostly- and I quote- “One o’ them schol-ar-ly feela’s... thinks he’s a know it all... which Ah reckon he does.”” I said in my best imitation of Big Mac’s thoughts on the Clock Keeper. Apparently the mare thought it was funny, and began giggling.        “Yeah hehe.... that sounds like him...” She said, quieting herself. “.... My name’s Ditzy Doo... but most call me Derpy Hooves.” She said her ears folding against her head as she said the second name, which lead em to assume she didn’t like it so much.        “Oh... well, “Ditzy” how about you tell me why you are here anyway. I highly doubt you were here to deliver some invisible mail-” I said pointing to her empty mailbag, which was slouching on the floor beside her. She looked down and blushed a little, then looking as if she was trying to think of another reason. As least that’s what it looked like she was thinking of.        “Uh... w-w-well... um... I uh... I saw you come in here! Yeah!-” She sounded more like she was trying to reassure herself, which only made me smile, knowing she was hiding something. She was obviously the Good Doctor’s companion, I could tell instantly just by looking at her. “So I uh- decided to follow you! Yeah! that’s right!”        “.... Ditzy.... do you play poker?” I asked her a small grin on my face.        “Uh... no... Why?” She asked thoroughly confused why I would ask this now.“Because... Ditzy Doo.... you have the worse pokerface I have ever seen.” I said chuckling lightly. ONce I was able to calm myself down, she was frowning at me, which was ADORABLE, the way her muzzle was all scrunched up. Which only made me laugh louder.Once she finally had me calmed down, I decided to just tell her what I already knew. “Hehe.... Alright, well how about I tell you the REAL reason you’re here.” I said, smiling lightly, putting my hand up to the Box. she only seemed confused at my offer of telling  her why she was here, which was what told convinced me to continue on with my promise.“See this Box? .... Where I come from, there are legends and stories of a madman, brilliant in almost every way if not all of them. He is a traveler, a savior, and a guardian.... But he is also a “Lonely God” since those who know of his past, who were willing to speak about him, say that he is the last of his kind.... a race of amazing beings, smarter then every other, who were believed to be the first race in all of existence! .... A race called the “Time Lords” ....” I sighed in admiration. The Gods know I loved this kinda crazy, insane, and hard to understand (to everyone but myself) sci-fi junk, and I was certain I was geeking out.Then I realized I had never actually gotten to the point of the story, so I coughed and continued again. “Anyway! That madman was rumored to live in a Big Blue Police Box, much like this one here-” I said knocking on the door gently “and as he adventures throughout the whole of the Universe, he is said to take along a companion. These “Companions” are randomly selected by honest to god luck. Fortunately these companions are the kind of people who help hold him together after all the years alone, and who help him come to terms with who he is, and why he does what he does. But also those who help him understand what in means to be human, or a “Pony” in your case, and who help him on his adventures, as his companions, and assistants.” I said smiling lightly at the thought of actually joining the Doctor on one of his travels. So! I have come to the assumption that you- my dear Ditzy- Are the Doctor’s Companion! Since from first glance you have all the check-marks of meeting the Doctor, and being around him. That and the Key in your mane.” I said pointing to it for a moment. “Would I be right in guessing this?” I asked her kindly.She just looked at me for a moment, her eyes seeming to study me caringly for a second, then she her eyes opened slightly, as if realizing something, and looking away for a moment, as if she was about to cry.I sat there for a moment a bit confused as to why she was becoming so upset. “Uh... Ditzy? Are you-” before I could finish my sentence, I was bear hugged into oblivion, by hooves, and wings alike.For the longest time, she didn’t say anything, so I assumed I must have said something to upset her, so I tried my best to hug her back, and comfort her, as I tried to think of what I could have said to make her cry. “... I’m so sorry....” She said, which startled me out of my deep thought.I looked at her for a moment confused. “Huh? What are you sorry for? I’m the one who made you cry.” I said, as comfortingly as I could.She giggled which only confused me even more. “Hehe... you’re just as ignorant as him ....” She said with a giggle, and a sniffle. Then she continued “I’m not upset... you just reminded me of..... “him”” She said, motioning to the box for a momentI looked at her for a moment a little confused, then realized she was talking about the Doctor. “Ooohhh....” I said in understanding, then smiled at her for a moment. “Honestly I think it’s an honor to be compared to him.” I said, the grin on my face, making me look like some fanboy or something embarrassing I guess, because the next thing she did was giggle quietly. I turned to her looking at her confused. “What?” I asked, chuckling lightly. Dang her laugh was infectious.“Hehe... Your face.” She said, smiling lightly “You looked like you were about to meet your hero. Hehe...” (Told you so.)I couldn’t help but blush lightly. “Well... I try. Hehe....” I said with a sheepish smile.She giggled a little, but stopped and had a small realization. “Hey. How did you know my key was for TARDIS?” She asked me, a little confused.“Oh that’s an easy one! I didn’t.” I said giving her an extreme smirk of brilliance (and or insanity.) “That is until just now anyway.” I added in.I saw her stare at me for a moment (at least I could only assume so, with one of her eyes staring me down, and the other looking in a completely different direction) then face hoofed, very hard. “.... Ow” was all she said for a moment.I couldn’t help but chuckle lightly at this action, because of just how amazingly cute it actually was. Gods these ponies are just too cute for their own well being sometimes.... I thought to myself. “You alright? That seemed like that hurt a bit” I asked gently reaching my hand out to her hoof, and removing it from her face.She nodded and gave me a small giggle, which only made my heart melt. “So then... Is he home?” I asked her excitedly.Only her smile faltered a little bit. “Oh... He’s uh... Not here at the moment.... He was carried off to the castle by the Royal Guards. They said that they needed him for-” She was interrupted by a loud banging noise of hooves and armor running up the steps.“Oh! Sounds like the Royal Goons are here! Perhaps I should greet them?” I said with a (slightly) wicked smile. I ran up, and dove over the hatch, using my wieghit against them. “Ditzy! Unlock the TARDIS!” I yelled while I held down with about all 250 lb’s of me (and then some with my backpack).She quickly got up and pulled the key from her mane, letting it flow out quickly. She began fidgeting with the Key in her hooves, it going back and forth, trying to get it into the right position to insert it into the lock. “I-I got it!” She yelled out, and quickly came over to try and help me.“No! Get to the TARDIS!” I yelled, holding out my hand to her. “I’ll be right behind you! Just get in the TARDIS!” I said, holding my hand down to the handle on the hatch, pushing it down.She quickly nodded and ran into the TARDIS, shutting the door behind her. I looked at the hatch for a moment, wondering how the hell he was going to do this? Thankfully I was given an answer, because the next thing I know, a spear head protruded from the other side of the hatch. I smiled, “Hey thanks!” I yelled pulling the spear all the way through the door. It thankfully remained intact, so I assumed it was very durable, and since it was so long I jammed it into the handle of the hatch, and shoved the pointed end into the wall. It opened, but long just enough for their hooves to stick through. “Gentlemen!- and my lady~” I said Motioning to the TARDIS. “You shall alway remember this day!- As the Day you, Almost, caught Captain- Jack Sparrow!” I said, giving them a bow, and quickly moving for the TARDIS.That moment couldn’t have been any more glorious... if not for the fact that the Door, swung open, as soon as I walked up to it. “OW!” I yelled, holding my nose.“O-oh! Sorry! I-I-I Didn’t know-” Ditzy began.“No no... It’s alright... you didn’t break my nose, so it’s all good....” I said chuckling lighlty walking into the TARDIS.“A-Are you sure I didn’t break it? I mean, I did hit it pretty hard...”“Hehe... No, you didn’t break it... trust me I know what a broken nose feels like... I ran into a tree before.... twice... in one day...” I said, blushing a little, as I clamped my nose shut, just incase some blood decided to fall out. “.... The same tree....” I finished, before I noticed my surroundings. “..... Wow....” ..... I honestly couldn’t think of anything more to say. All of my amazing phrases, and lines, just stopped in my head.... It was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. It honestly was, even if the console was Pony sized, it still looked amazing.She locked the door behind me, and stood beside me for a moment wondering what I was staring at. “Uh... Why are you staring at the console?”I didn’t register that she was asking me something until a few moments later. “... Huh? Oh, sorry... What did you ask me?”“I asked you why you are just staring at the console.” She said.“Oh.... Uh.... Honestly I uh... just kinda got lost in it for a moment....” I said looking back to it. I don’t know if I was imagining it or not, but I just... had this feeling, that I should just touch the console, just to be sure this wasn’t just some wild dream, with talking horses, and the mad Doctor. I slowly walked up to the Console, taking off my backpack, and buckling it up tightly to the pole at the top of the steps, knowing all too well what kind of “turbulence” happens when the TARDIS takes off. I knew I couldn’t pilot the thing, without possibly ripping a hole in the Space-Time Continuum, so I wasn’t even going to bother, plus the TARDIS might seriously hurt me for pushing her Buttons (literally.) But in the World of the Doctor, nothing was Impossible. Just... highly unlikely.I gently placed my hand on the TARDIS consoles side, the hum I felt before was now at least 3 times as strong as it had been. However, I quickly pulled my hand away, since the console had just become extremely hot. “Gah!” I looked at my hand, not seeing any burn marks, but jeez it hurt like a mother trucker! averted my eyes from my red hand to where it had just touched the console, and said the first thing that came to my mind. “.... Oh.... Well that can’t be good.” I stated dumbly.Where my hand had just been previously, sat a glowing imprint of my hand, with all the crevices being the only thing that showed the original metal of the console. One of the Monitors flashed to life, brightly saying “DNA scan confirmed” as everything began to whir to life. “Oh yeah... definitely not good...”The switch’s began to flick themselves upwards, and the knobs began spinning in wild crazy motions, as the levers began to fly upwards, and the center piece began to bob. “Uh... Ditzy? ... You might want to hang onto something.... I think we are in for a bumpy ride....” Oh man, did I wish I was wrong about the signs of the TARDIS take off Sequence. I wished that I didn’t actually know them by heart. I really wished I did.The TARDIS Made a loud Gong sound, when I noticed the big lever with the two rows of lights, still in the downward position. I quickly slammed my hand down on it, holding it back, and hoping to delay the process of take off. The TARDIS began shaking violently, and the Gong started turning into a groan. I knew this was probably hurting it- err.. “her” but I didn’t have much of a choice.Then the next thing I knew, the lever flung itself forward with so much energy that it flung me, headfirst, into the center piece, putting a decent sized crack into it. I groaned as the world slowly started to spin around widely. “Ow....” Was all I said, putting both hands to my head, trying to clear my mind.of the pain my brain was receiving.Then everything stopped shaking, and the TARDIS started with the gong noise again, seeming to calm down. “Ow.... Ditzy? ... Ditzy you alright?” I asked her unsure of where she was.“Uh, yeah.... Yeah I’m alright...” She said sounding a little dizzy. “I’m just a little Dizzy is all...”“Now before you say something, I will quickly tell you that this is a Recording, therefore I cannot reply to you directly. Infact, if you are seeing this, this means I am away from my TARDIS at the moment. Hehe” He chuckled again, which made me smile at how warm and overall welcoming he was being. “Anyway, I have a program that should be tracking me at this very moment. You activated it when you touched the console you see, DNA helixes, and whatnot.- Anyway my TARDIS should be bringing you directly to my location at this very moment. However it may take a while since I will have to set the parameters to that of all of space, not knowing where I may be myself. So! In the Meantime, you will have to sit back for a little while, and enjoy the ride. Trust me, it is much safer then the guards you have been running from since your arrival. Hehe.” He said with a chuckle.This didn’t phase me though. As soon as he mentioned the guards, I knew he wasn’t actually watching us. He just made another prediction probably. Yeah. Just another Prediction, that’s all. Not like he can actually see us. Hehe... that’d be a little creepy.I nearly jumped out of my own skin, when his hologram quickly turned to face me. “Oh, and if my Companion is with you, do take care of her- Oh, and DON’T touch the console again! The TARDIS is very touchy about who touches her console.” He said looking very sternly for a moment before chuckling a little. “Alright! Well that’s all! Good luck getting here. Wherever “Here” is. End Program-” He said looking forward again... and with that, the hologram was gone.“.... So... that’s the Doctor?” I asked Ditzy who simply nodded.“Yeah.... That’s him.” Ditzy said with a slight sigh in her voice. I turned to her to see her looking a little saddened. “He’s been gone for a little while now... I don’t know where he’s gone, but I hope he’s alright....” She said a little sadly.“Wow... You really care about him don’t you?” I asked her. She looked up to me for a moment, but nodded to me“Yeah. He means a lot to me. He’s been my only real friend I’ve had in a while....” I nodded, my mind starting to think she had a crush on him, like some of his past companions, until She quickly added in “- but I don’t like, like him. He’s already got a marefriend. She’s way smarter then me, plus she just recently became a Princess, so she’ll live as long as he will now too. Which makes me happy for him... he tends to be lonely a lot, because most of his friends are gone. So she’ll always be with him, which makes it a little easier to let it go.” She used her wings to hide her blush, but I could only stare at her for a moment..... Do these Ponies have no sense of Security, or what? They seem to be a bit too trusting for their own good... The Doctor must have a field day protecting them in the future when they do meet other races.... I continued to look at her for a moment, then to the console. He said not to touch it, so I sadly obeyed. He didn’t say I couldn’t stare at it though. Then I noticed the timer, seeming to count down, with the words “APPROXIMATE TIME OF ARRIVAL: ONE HOUR” at the Top. It said there was about two hours worth of travel which seemed a bit strange, but I assumed it was because of my meddling with the take off sequence. Well at least it’s still moving....I smiled, and had a brilliant idea. I reached for my Backpack, and pulled out my sketchbook, and a pencil. I quickly began to sketch out my interpretation of the TARDIS’s console, sketching in as much detail as Possible. Then I slowly shorted out after a while, because I usually listen to music to keep my mind flowing with creativity. Sadly I didn’t want to waste my Laptop battery, and I had never actually bought an iPhone before, or iPod. Yeah I know. Sad. Still it was how I preferred to live, free of distractions, and the stupid amount of Money I would have to put into it (Not to mention my mother has a harder time trying to get onto a Laptop, then she would an iPhone, or iPod.“Hey Uh, Ditzy?” I asked, trying to keep drawing the console.She turned to me, and smiled “Yeah?”“Since I’m new to Equestria, and other such things- Why don’t you tell me somethings incase we go into questioning. That way I can make up a cover story for myself.” I said, drawing a few of the knobs on the console, before wandering how the hell he even used them without fingers.“Oh... Well... What kindsa things?” She asked me walking over“Oh.... you know... Recent and current Events Probably? Historical Events maybe? A few Important Peopl- I mean Ponies that I should know?” That word still seemed a bit alien to me. Ponies. It didn’t feel right to me... People sounded better, but I guess I can’t pick and choose.
