Tales of a Madpony With a Boxby orionsbelt171ChaptersA Warm WelcomeThings Heat Up part 1Things Heat Up part 2A Warm WelcomeA Warm Welcome The TARDIS flew freely trough space, clumsily hitting the sides of asteroids and space junk. A fresh stream of smoke billowed from the back of the blue call box as it darted around, seemingly uncontrolled. "you stupid machine, start working for once! If not we'll crash into some unknown planet an be stranded there!" The TARDIS, ignoring the Doctors cry for help, sped on, down towards a big blue planet, not unlike earth. "Damnit, TARDIS! Do you even hear me!?" the Doctor yelled, his hands zipping around the control panel, pressing random buttons. He didn't know what he was pressing, only that it might help. "Oh for g-" __________________________ The Doctor awoke outside the TARDIS, looking up at the beautiful sun... an abnormally large beautiful sun. "Wher- where am I? Definitely not earth... maybe something like it? Very peculiar indeed." The Doctor put his hands on the ground to lift himself up. After this attempt he fell on his rump, startled. "Ah! Well, that was not what I was expecting. It seems I can't stand up." the Doctor lifted his hands up to see... "Wha- well I'm never going to un-see that! I have hooves! Hooves instead of hands! I hope I'm not a centaur, that would be hard to undo. It doesn't seem like I regenerated though... that's a good thing! Speaking of regeneration, let's have a look a the rest of me... aside from the hooves." The Doctor cast a curious eye over the rest of himself. "Hooves, chestnut coat. Not a female, I can tell by the snout. Hair... or wait... mane, brown, still not a ginger, blast. An this peculiar thing on my butt, an hourglass? Strange indeed." After about a minute of looking around, the Doctor remembered something rather... Important. "The TARDIS, where are you!? Don't tell me you've gone missing again, that would be a trouble!" Sure enough, the TARDIS was right behind him. "Ah, there you are my girl! You know, I'm not a fan of this equine business, do you mind if we leave?" The Doctor tried the door, until he realized he had hooves. He stared at his hooves for a second before attempting to buck down the door with his front legs. His legs bounced off as though the TARDIS didn't want to let him in. "Blast, I guess I could try my hind legs. There should be more force in using the-" "Ummm... mister, I saw your house fall from the sky... so I came over to see what happened. But you were talking to yourself... so I didn't want to interrupt..." A mares voice said from just outside the clearing that the Doctor and the TARDIS were in. "Hello, do I know you? I'm the Doctor, the timey-wimey traveller of stuffness! Who might you be? The mare of witch had been previously talking to the Doctor exited the clearing. She had a grey coat, a yellowish-blond mane, and a peculiar eye disorder. "Ummm... I'm Ditzy Doo, fellow citizen of equestria." The mare said, still puzzling over the Doctors strange way of speaking. "I wouldn't say "fellow" citizen. Speaking of, you said equestria, as in a planet of horses? A strange name I might add, where is the nearest settlement?" "Nearest settle-whatnow?" the gray pony asked, genuinely puzzled as to what a "settlement" was. "Ummm, also, equesria is a continent of ponies, not a planet of horses. "Fine take me to the nearest village... I guess. Still find a planet, or, continet of equines to be rather odd." "Sure, you mean umm... Ponyville, right?" Ditzy said, tilting her head to the side to make a point. "Okay then companion, off to Ponyville! Pfft, thats a terrible name." "What is?" "Oh, nothing, nothing just keep leading on companion." "Please don't call me "companion", We've hardly even met." "I know Ditzy, but, there's bound to be something bad going on here, and I'll need a companion then!" "You're a really weird pony..." " I'd like to be referred to as "stallion" not "pony" pony implies that I am a mare, which I am not." "Ummm..." "Or you can just call me "Doctor" or "the Doctor" or "Timelord" or "Wanderer" or "Madman with a box" Does that seem fair compani- I mean Ditzy, it's Ditzy right? Yes,Ditzy Doo! I'm terrible with names, so bear with me, okay?" "Ummm...okay... but don't you mean "Madpony" with a box." "Madpony... Hahaha! That's terrible, absolutely terrible, hahaha. Come on, who makes these names?" "Doctor, quiet down you embarrassing me!" "What, how am I embarrassing you?!" "I'm just worried the ponies in Ponyville can hear us!" "That's ridiculous, were too far away from any settlement for them to hear us." There was an awkward silence before the Doctor said. "Allons-y" and began to gallop off. "Doctor slow down! You don't know where you're going!" Ditzy yelled to the chestnut stallion, "Doctor! Wait up!" The grey pegasus spread her wings open and sped forward to catch up with the Doctor, when she got to him she said. "Doctor, don't just run off like that! You could have been going in the opposite direction!" "But I wasn't!" the doctor responded, without making eye contact with the mare. He then looked over and came to a sudden halt. Ditzy, on the other hand didn't stop and instead hit face-first into a tree a meter or so away. "You never told me you had wings!" the doctor yelped gleefully nag ran over to the flabbergasted mare. "That makes you a... um... pegasus, right? And if there's pegasi here, that means there may be unicorns!!! Are there unicorns here?!?!" "You made me hit face-first into a tree!" "So? You have wings! I can't believe I missed them before! There so obvious!" "Doctor." "So are there unicorns here!?" "Umm... Doctor." "Not now Ditzy, can you answer my question?" "DOCTOR!" "Arrrgghh, what is it Ditzy?!" "Were here..." The Doctor turned around, and sure enough, there was a large crowd of ponies gathered around to view the odd spectacle. "Oh, hello I'm the Doctor, are there unicorns on this planet. The crowd of ponies began to laugh. Puzzled, the Doctor turned to Ditzy." "Was it some thing I said?" "Of course there are unicorns on this planet feather-brain! Stop acting like you came from another planet." "Really!? There are unicorns here!?" "Umm... yes." "Amazing!!!" the Doctor said, immediately, he scanned the crowd for any unicorns, not spotting any, he pushed his way through the crowd before seeing a mint-green unicorn mare. "Hahaha! A unicorn!" the Doctor said as he galloped towards the mare. "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! A unicorn! I never thought id see the day where there where unicorns but boy, I WAS SO WRONG!!! Hahaha, amazing a unicorn horn! Does it work? Lift something up!" The mint-green mare obeyed a lifted up a stone using magic. "Fantastic! Do it agai-" A grey hoof pulled him away from the trembling unicorn. Seeing her chance, the unicorn fled the exact opposite direction of the Doctor. "Doctor, what was that for!? You're embarrassing me!" "Oh, uh... sorry Ditzy, I guess I got a bit carried away there." "A BIT?!?!" "Well... more like a lot. But I can explain!" "I really need to teach you about this world, you don't fit in one bit. "That's pretty normal actually" the Doctor put on the most innocent face he could muster. "You're coming with me!" "Why where are we going?" "Someplace else... where you can't embarrass me." "Ok then, Allons-y!" Author's Note This Chapter was a one part story, the next Chapter will (Hopefully) be longer. Plus, this is my first story! Things Heat Up part 1Things Heat Up Part 1 The Doctor struggled to break free of the wires connected to his legs, head and chest. Below him were an impatient purple unicorn and concerned gray Pegasus. Twilight feverishly paced around the room, picking up pieces of data and carefully examining them before dropping them and looking for more. The Doctor looked on, watching as the unicorn snaked around the various machines that scattered the floor. He looked across the room to see a very confused looking Ditzy, half watching Twilight piece two and two together. The Doctor chuckled, his first hour in a new world and he'd already a made a fool of himself, been strapped to various wires and become a test subject. Twilight gathered various mashes of data in her hooves and spread them out onto a table, studying them. "It just doesn't add up..." The unicorn broke the akward silence that had engulfed them for so long. "Everything looks like a normal pony." She continued."Except..." "Two hearts?" The Doctor asked hopefully. "How did you kn-" "You'd think a guy would know about something like that." "But... Ive never seen anything like it!" "That's because i'm not like you, that's what I've been trying to tell this little Pegasus!" The Doctor pointed his hoof at Ditzy who smiled guiltily in return. "What do you mean by "not like you"?" I mean I'm not really a pony, I come from somewhere else" "You can't possibly make me believe you're an alien, wheres the proof?" She said, thoroughly dumbfounded. "All the proof you need is in front of you" the Doctor replied, smiling fondly. "But... But" she panicked, she wasn't scared of the self-proclaimed alien, she was just contemplating the existence of aliens, and it made her feel small. The universe is a very scary thing. _______________ After being unstrapped from the various bits and bobs he was stuck to, the Doctor, Ditzy and Twilight made their way upstairs and into the library. As they arrived Twilight called something upstairs. She then began madly looking through the books, finding anything she could about space. A few moments later a happy little purple and green dragon appeared from the upstairs floor. He introduced himself as Spike. "Hi, I'm Spike, Twilights number-one assistant!" he beamed. The Doctor concluded that Twilight was the purple unicorn who seemed oddly paranoid at the time. "Hello, I'm the Doctor, a Timelord from the planet Gallifrey!" the Doctor said to the overly joyful looking dragon. "Well then... Anyway, Twilight wanted me to ask if you wanted any food or drinks!" "Oh, yes please, do you have tea, I like tea." "Yes sir," the dragon saluted. "and what do you want... Derpy?" "Oh... Uh, I'll have a muffin." "Alright, one tea and one muff-" "Oh, could I have a muffin too? With butter!" "Ok, make that one tea and two muffins with butter!" The baby dragon waddled into the kitchen, passing the still frantic unicorn. There was an awkward silence among the two of them, both avoiding eye contact with the other. The Doctor then spoke up. "I can't help but notice that the little dragon called you "Derpy". Did I just hear something wrong or..." "No, you heard correctly" she said plainly, the subject of that name made her uncomfortable. "So, if I didn't hear it wrong why did he call you that? Doesn't it seem strange to you?" "No, it's not strange its normal..." she trailed off. "...for me." "So, what is it? An nickname of sorts?" "You could say that..." "Then all ponies call you by that nickname?" "Yea" "But, where does it come from, why do they call you that?" the Doctor pressed. "I don't know" "Yes you do, you have to, it's your nickname, where does it come from?" "Well..." she started, gazing up at the ceiling. "I think their talking about my... Derpy eyes." She spoke sadly sulking into her chair. There was a long pause. "Well, that's not very nice" the Doctor said to himself. Ditzy didn't notice. After another few more long minutes spike came with a platter containing one cup of tea and two steaming, freshly baked blueberry muffins. Ditzy was the first to reach out and pick up her muffin, setting it on the table in front of her. The Doctor then reached his hoof over and tried picking up the muffin. Once. Twice. Three times. On the third try the Doctor gave Ditzy a helpless look and retreated his hoof back to it's previous spot. Seeing this, Ditzy sighed and lifted the Doctors tea and muffin towards him. The Doctor didn't make eye contact with Ditzy, he instead just stared down at his food for awhile. "Ew, blueberry muffins!" the Doctor thought. The Doctor had finally gotten over his embarrassment when the unicorn came to join them. As she did, she placed piles and piles of books around her, almost creating her own little fort. It was, at this time when the Doctor looked up from the muffin he had previously been prodding (in disgust, mind you) and stared at the paranoid purple unicorn. She looked like a true egghead, glasses and all, her hair was styled in a way that would make virtually any human on earth laugh. "Then again, the Doctor thought, we aren't on earth, are we?" Though she had sat down, the unicorn didn't look up, and the Doctor was beginning to believe Ditzy had brought him to the local mad scientist. It was after this thought that she finally spoke up. "Impossible." she said, the Doctor had noticed her muttering the same word over and over. And then another thought crossed his mind, what if this unicorn, Twilight, had been absolutely normal and the Doctor had made her go mad. It was a convincing story Considering it had happened before, except not about aliens and more about school. The Doctor, of course, didn't know this and instead just based around the fact she was calm up until he mentioned being from "somewhere else", and then she went completely bananas. Bananas are good. Twilight then stared up and looked at the Doctor, making eye contact, she said in an almost threatening way: "You're not scientifically possible." and she then proceeded to pick up her books and walk upstairs. Leaving the Doctor and Ditzy alone at the table. A few minutes later Twilight emerged from the upstairs floor, right as rain, with no sing of the previous... Fiasco. Twilight trotted over towards the table, carrying some data. She looked it over a bit and then called out. "Spiiikkkkeeee! Could you make me a coffee please? Thanks!" and sure enough, you could hear the faint sound of the coffee machine grinding away. "So," Twilight said. "what kind of alien are you?" "I'm a Timelord of the planet Gallifrey!" she Doctor said as he watched Twilight flip through her book. "Theres nothing on Timelords or Gallifrey in this book, I don't know where else to look." "I do" the Doctor said, happy to put to use a little something that he got in the Fishdent 2 sector C quadrant, about 1200,0000,0020 lightyears away, give or take. It is, in my opinion, important to note that the Doctor awoke outside the tarsus with his jacket on, he also took said jacket along with him and is, at the time of the story, hanging on the coat hanger just beside the door to Twilights library/treehouse sorta thing. The Doctor then got up from the table and trotted over to his coat and began rummaging around in his coat pocket. After a little while, the Doctor pulled out a small electric machine, kind of like a kindle. Of course, they don't have kindles in Equestria. The Doctor took the electric machine (in his mouth by the way) towards the table and put it, cover first, in front of Twilight. Twilight stared at the book for a minute, and then read the title aloud. "Don't Panic", she read, the words were in bold letters and could be mistaken for the name, of course, twilight had read enough books to know that wasn't the title, so she looked at the smaller letters on the cover of the electronic book and found them to say: "The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy!" the Doctor interrupted, "I considered getting the Encyclopedia Galactica, but I was told this one was better. Anyway, this should meet all your interstellar needs!" Twilight stared at the Doctor for a good, long while. She, being a pony, had never seen any sort of electronic device before was very obviously amazed that a single button could make a whole screen come to life. Also, the sole fact that there was ANY book in the universe she hadn't read sent long, nerdy shivers down her spine. But the most amazing something the book had to offer was all the scientific knowledge it contained of the universe. And so Twilight just sat there, looking at the electronic kindle-like book, her jaw slack, eyes full of awe. The Doctor thought maybe it would have been a good idea if he hadn't shown her the book. He was probably right. The awkwardness of the moment and the sheer bewilderment in twilights eyes made the Doctor feel a bit uncomfortable. Ok, maybe allot uncomfortable. The Doctor put his hoof out and dragged the book across the table. At this, Twilight snapped out of her trance and stared at the Doctor. He smiled apologetically and passed her the device. "So... What do you do?" Twilight asked, she couldn't get farther than the big red button that turns on the screen. "Well, you first decide what you want to search up, in this case it's Gallifrey, and then press the buttons with letters on them, when your done press start." He paused, "that's probably hard to do without hands, isn't it?" "Hands?" "Nothing, just... Well if we use the tips of our hooves (Haha, I have hooves) we should theoretically be able to type the words in... I think." And so, after what felt like a million failed attempts they was finally able to type G-a-l-l-i-f-r-e-y into the built-in keyboard. And so, one article appeared labelled simply as "Gallifrey", it read: Gallifrey is the home planet of the ridiculously snobby Timelords, a race that has 13 different lives. Whenever they die, a new Timelord appears with a different face and personality, and sometimes different gender. It is due to this that the Timelords will most likely soon die of overpopulation. "Thats a short article." Twilight said, staring at the book. "Well at least it's not like the article on earth." "Why, whats that one like?" "It's only one word." "What word?" "Harmless" It's true, go check you're copy, it'll say the exact same thing. "Oh", the Doctor said, "that's a bit out dated, the Timelords died about... 400 years ago..." Twilight gave him a look, she didn't like outdated copies of anything, especially books. When they finished the Doctor put the book aside. "So, you're species is gone" Twilight said. "Yep, I'm used to it." the Doctor said, sighing. "Well, what happened?" "I killed them." There was a long silence, nobody said anything, spike brought twilight's coffee to the table. He looked at the three morbidly silent ponies, shrugged, and returned to the kitchen. Then one impossible thing happened. A voice called from upstairs. "Spike, can you get me my quill!" It was Twilight. Author's Note Well then, new chapter finally Sorry for the wait I'll finish some more chapters soon Things Heat Up part 2Things Heat Up Part 2 I recall saying the current situation is impossible. It is not. If it were impossible then it would not have happened. Which it did. Therefore it is not impossible. It is improbable. And the improbability of the situation is what makes it seem impossible. _______________ Astonished, the three ponies looked towards the stairs. Unfortunately the stairs had a slight curve to them so they couldn't see up the length of them. "Hello?" the Doctor called, eyeing the stairs for anything other than Twilight. There was no answer. The Doctor looked over at Ditzy and Twilight, then at the stairs. "Were going up." he said and before anypony could protest he trotted carefully up the stairs. He tried to make as minimal noise possible, this was hard considering he had hooves and not feet. And at the fifth stair he turned over to Ditzy. "You. Fly." the Doctor said, making little motions with his hooves. Ditzy gave him a confused look and spoke up: "Why." "Makes less noise." "Makes me tired." "Shut up and do it." And so the pegasus reluctantly spread her wings and began hovering in the air. "Is that good?" she said. The Doctor put his hoof out and attempted doing a thumbs up but remembered he had no fingers. He just nodded instead. As they got to the ninth step, encroaching on the tenth the same voice... ...Twilights same voice... ...Said something: "Spike is that you? You don't have to go hiding from me!" The group of earth pony, unicorn and pegasus shared a gasp. They looked up to hear hoofsteps. She was coming over. That ridiculous group of three did one thing: They panicked. And so, one by one the three of them bumped into each other sending an avalanche of colors down the stairs. At the end they landed like a sack of potatoes on the ground. The next instance happened in slow-motion, as do lots of other equally suspenseful moments in a beings life. Such as that one time a man dropped his house keys down the sewer grate. Or the time that one ape of GOMUI-V76 ALPHA fell off a Gombiii tree onto a carnivorous Oziboroug Plant. And so, the three of them, bound by some oppressing force of unnatural godly power had to sit there like a discarded garbage bag as Twilight began an excruciatingly long trot down the treehouse stairs. The only other living entity in this particular treehouse was Spike, who was in fact, the only person not bound to the slow-motion suspence, trudged into the room. Spike was holding up a tray containing Twilight's quill collection. Why she had a quill collection is a story for another day. Spike stared for a puzzled moment at the three ponies, though it somehow didn't strike him as odd that the three of them were moving very, very slowly. Spike gave a shrug, placed the quill on the table behind them and proceeded off to the kitchen. Twilight had made her fifth step downwards (which was her 12th step upwards, so you can compare it to the previous stair-walking experience the three at the bottom had) when her head finally spun around the corner. It was Twilight. Or an exact replica of Twilight, if you were the real Twilight looking at whichever is the fake Twilight. And on the inside, the fake Twilight was probably grinning and saying gotcha! But on the outside, they all remained slack jawed. All, but the Doctor. He studied the two and contemplated what exactly was going on. After a this slack jawed response to everything, the two Twilights finally broke eye contact and looked at the Doctor. "Changelings" they said in unison. The Doctor looked again at them both, looked down and nodded. "Zygons" the Doctor corrected them. "One of you is a Zygon!" the Doctor looked up and paused. "For the meantime," the doctor said, "you will be Twilight no.1" he said, pointing at the Twilight on the stairs, "and you, will be Twilight no.2." The two Twilights looked at one another and then to the Doctor. "But... I can't be Twilight no.2! I'm the real Twilight" "Oh, really?" the Doctor said, his head hung low as to figure out what to do here. Twilight no.1 noticed this and blurted out. "Hey, I'm the real Twilight! Not this... " she trailed off, not very keen on isulting herself. Even if herself happened to be in a different body. "What will we do..." the Doctor muttered, his eyes still on the floor. The still confused Ditzy heard this and lifted herself lazily off the ground. "We could do an investigation!" she said, "you know, we could become detective ponies and find out who the real Twilight is!" Despite the way that she put that, the Doctor still took it into consideration. "An investigation... hmmm..." the Doctor looked up, his eyes bright. "An investigation! Ditzy, you're a genius!" "Ummm... You're welcome..." "An investigation! Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that! Haha!" The Doctor looked up and made eye contact with the two of them. "Brilliant." he muttered. _______________ The Doctor had never actually done an investigation, he just thought it sounded fun. The Doctor also knew he couldn't have either of the Twilights helping him. And so, to prevent said situation arising, the Doctor put Twilight no.1 upstairs and Twilight no.2 downstairs and told them both to stay put and not interfere with the investigation. He got Spike to help instead. The investigation took an hour, give or take. They didn't find much of importance, a pair of glasses, a science book, a Zygon watch, ok, that may be important. Aside from that, nothing was really helpful. "Shame," the Doctor said, "I was hoping an investigation would be more fun, or at least turn up some clues. At that moment, the Doctor had absolutely no leads, and any idea he came up with was, in his situation, rubbish. _______________ When the Doctor finally called it quits, he gathered everypony upstairs and around a small-ish table that was just large enough to fit the Doctor, Ditzy and the two Twilights. The Doctor thought that he may need to tell the two Twilights apart, so, he went to his coat, pulled out two somethings and returned to the table. The somethings in particular were, in fact, a slightly worn out and crumpled fez and a dog tag made of some alien metal with the word Rover (evidently the name of the dog) and a phone number which read: 6@004-23$-5442*, an intergalactic phone number, obviously. He returned carrying the fez upside down in his mouth with the dog tag inside it. He dropped the two on the table, giving Twilight no.1 the fez and Twilight no.2 the dog tag. "Ok," the Doctor said, once both Twilights had finished, "let's go over our evidence, which, I admit, isn't very much at all." The Doctor had Ditzy lay the three items on the table. "So," The Doctor told them, "one or both of you are Zygons." he paused. "Though, I'm entitled to believe only one of you is, considering neither of you have attempted an attack." The Doctor sighed and looked down at the floor, he had no idea where to go from there. "Ummm... Doctor, we could, you know, interrogate them." Ditzy said hopefully. "No, too complicated," the Doctor looked up, "let's first go over what we've got to work with." "So, to begin the second half of our investigation," the Doctor looked over the items laid on the table, "were going to need some tea. Spike! Could you come here a minute?" And sure enough a little baby dragons waddling footsteps came slowly up the stairs. "Yes, what could I do for you?" the little baby dragon said in that little baby dragon tone that makes you want to pick up and cuddle that little baby dragon all day long. Ok, that may be a bit of an exaggeration. "One cup of tea please." the Doctor said. "Oh, and with milk and sugar." With that in mind the baby dragon waddled off once again, leaving the four of them alone in the room. "So, let's begin." the Doctor stated. "To start off, we have these glasses. Now, when me and Ditzy over here had the conversation with the mad Twilight she was wearing glasses, but..." the Doctor thought back for a moment, "when she left and came back from upstairs she wasn't, and that's when I'm assuming the switch started, and that would mean Twilight no.1 is the one with the glasses." Twilight no.1 nodded a painful nod to indicate this was true. "So, now we have to think if the original Twilight had glasses." "No, she didn't!" Ditzy said instantly. "So, that points against you, Twilight no.1!" The Doctor pointed his hoof accusingly at the fez sporting Twilight. "Wha- but I put them on afterwards!" she protested. "A likely story." dog tag Twilight said sarcastically. "Quit yapping at one another!" the Doctor said, as they were yapping almost like two chewawas. "There is still evidence pointing towards you, No.2! You see, how could you slip from downstairs to upstairs without us noticing?" Twilight no.2 gave a shocked look. "Ummm... uhhh..." "A likely story." No.1 mimicked. "Still, there is evidence pointing towards this you No.1, you see, this science book was upstairs, and this very science book was the exact same science book from in the basement! That would suggest-" "That Twilight no.1 is the culprit!" Ditzy blurted out. "No." the Doctor said, "Not just yet, you see, we still have one more piece of evidence, the Zygon watch." Both Twilights looked at the watch with a cold sweat. "This watch," the Doctor started, "was found in the kitchen, next to the back door, suggesting the Zygon came in from there. Now, lets have a look at this watch, shall we." the Doctor opened the straps to see that around the inside of the strap there were small half-circles. "You see these?" the Doctor said, "These would make an imprint on your hoof for no matter how long you wore it." Twilight no.2 gave a smirk of victory, no.1, a face of sheer terror. The Doctor continued. "Those marks would last more or less a whole day, so, let me see you're hooves!" Twilight no.2 obeyed, as no.1 reeled in horror. "No. No. No. No. No. No. NO!" she screamed! "So, I think we have a culprit." the Doctor smirked. "So, the situation went like this. The Zygon ship dropped one off when two was downstairs with us. One then placed her watch down, put on a pair of glasses she found and waited by the door to the basement and when two came up, she switched roles. So two was upstairs with the science book and one was with us, one then went upstairs and two came downstairs, then we noticed one and things played out from there. Isn't that right, my Zygon friend. Her look of pitifulness turned sour and hateful. "You may have stopped me, Doctor!" she said, not changing into her Zygon form. "But our attack isn't over, we will end the sorry planet and all who inhabit it. And you are just an added bonus! Hahahaha!" And with that a beam of foul red descended upon the Zygon as she was beamed up to her ship. "I guess I'll be staying here a while longer" _______________ The Doctor said his goodbyes over a cup of tea and exited the treehouse. "let's get to the TARDIS, shall we?" he said, giving a slight smile. He looked up, and recalled something, something important, something he noticed when he first arrived. "The Doctor awoke outside the TARDIS, looking up at the beautiful sun... an abnormally large beautiful sun." "Who did you say controlled the sun here?" the Doctor asked. "I didn't." A look of panic crossed his face. "Aaaaggghhhh!!!" The Doctor screamed as a searing pain struck his body. Vworp! Vworp! Vworp!
A Warm WelcomeA Warm Welcome The TARDIS flew freely trough space, clumsily hitting the sides of asteroids and space junk. A fresh stream of smoke billowed from the back of the blue call box as it darted around, seemingly uncontrolled. "you stupid machine, start working for once! If not we'll crash into some unknown planet an be stranded there!" The TARDIS, ignoring the Doctors cry for help, sped on, down towards a big blue planet, not unlike earth. "Damnit, TARDIS! Do you even hear me!?" the Doctor yelled, his hands zipping around the control panel, pressing random buttons. He didn't know what he was pressing, only that it might help. "Oh for g-" __________________________ The Doctor awoke outside the TARDIS, looking up at the beautiful sun... an abnormally large beautiful sun. "Wher- where am I? Definitely not earth... maybe something like it? Very peculiar indeed." The Doctor put his hands on the ground to lift himself up. After this attempt he fell on his rump, startled. "Ah! Well, that was not what I was expecting. It seems I can't stand up." the Doctor lifted his hands up to see... "Wha- well I'm never going to un-see that! I have hooves! Hooves instead of hands! I hope I'm not a centaur, that would be hard to undo. It doesn't seem like I regenerated though... that's a good thing! Speaking of regeneration, let's have a look a the rest of me... aside from the hooves." The Doctor cast a curious eye over the rest of himself. "Hooves, chestnut coat. Not a female, I can tell by the snout. Hair... or wait... mane, brown, still not a ginger, blast. An this peculiar thing on my butt, an hourglass? Strange indeed." After about a minute of looking around, the Doctor remembered something rather... Important. "The TARDIS, where are you!? Don't tell me you've gone missing again, that would be a trouble!" Sure enough, the TARDIS was right behind him. "Ah, there you are my girl! You know, I'm not a fan of this equine business, do you mind if we leave?" The Doctor tried the door, until he realized he had hooves. He stared at his hooves for a second before attempting to buck down the door with his front legs. His legs bounced off as though the TARDIS didn't want to let him in. "Blast, I guess I could try my hind legs. There should be more force in using the-" "Ummm... mister, I saw your house fall from the sky... so I came over to see what happened. But you were talking to yourself... so I didn't want to interrupt..." A mares voice said from just outside the clearing that the Doctor and the TARDIS were in. "Hello, do I know you? I'm the Doctor, the timey-wimey traveller of stuffness! Who might you be? The mare of witch had been previously talking to the Doctor exited the clearing. She had a grey coat, a yellowish-blond mane, and a peculiar eye disorder. "Ummm... I'm Ditzy Doo, fellow citizen of equestria." The mare said, still puzzling over the Doctors strange way of speaking. "I wouldn't say "fellow" citizen. Speaking of, you said equestria, as in a planet of horses? A strange name I might add, where is the nearest settlement?" "Nearest settle-whatnow?" the gray pony asked, genuinely puzzled as to what a "settlement" was. "Ummm, also, equesria is a continent of ponies, not a planet of horses. "Fine take me to the nearest village... I guess. Still find a planet, or, continet of equines to be rather odd." "Sure, you mean umm... Ponyville, right?" Ditzy said, tilting her head to the side to make a point. "Okay then companion, off to Ponyville! Pfft, thats a terrible name." "What is?" "Oh, nothing, nothing just keep leading on companion." "Please don't call me "companion", We've hardly even met." "I know Ditzy, but, there's bound to be something bad going on here, and I'll need a companion then!" "You're a really weird pony..." " I'd like to be referred to as "stallion" not "pony" pony implies that I am a mare, which I am not." "Ummm..." "Or you can just call me "Doctor" or "the Doctor" or "Timelord" or "Wanderer" or "Madman with a box" Does that seem fair compani- I mean Ditzy, it's Ditzy right? Yes,Ditzy Doo! I'm terrible with names, so bear with me, okay?" "Ummm...okay... but don't you mean "Madpony" with a box." "Madpony... Hahaha! That's terrible, absolutely terrible, hahaha. Come on, who makes these names?" "Doctor, quiet down you embarrassing me!" "What, how am I embarrassing you?!" "I'm just worried the ponies in Ponyville can hear us!" "That's ridiculous, were too far away from any settlement for them to hear us." There was an awkward silence before the Doctor said. "Allons-y" and began to gallop off. "Doctor slow down! You don't know where you're going!" Ditzy yelled to the chestnut stallion, "Doctor! Wait up!" The grey pegasus spread her wings open and sped forward to catch up with the Doctor, when she got to him she said. "Doctor, don't just run off like that! You could have been going in the opposite direction!" "But I wasn't!" the doctor responded, without making eye contact with the mare. He then looked over and came to a sudden halt. Ditzy, on the other hand didn't stop and instead hit face-first into a tree a meter or so away. "You never told me you had wings!" the doctor yelped gleefully nag ran over to the flabbergasted mare. "That makes you a... um... pegasus, right? And if there's pegasi here, that means there may be unicorns!!! Are there unicorns here?!?!" "You made me hit face-first into a tree!" "So? You have wings! I can't believe I missed them before! There so obvious!" "Doctor." "So are there unicorns here!?" "Umm... Doctor." "Not now Ditzy, can you answer my question?" "DOCTOR!" "Arrrgghh, what is it Ditzy?!" "Were here..." The Doctor turned around, and sure enough, there was a large crowd of ponies gathered around to view the odd spectacle. "Oh, hello I'm the Doctor, are there unicorns on this planet. The crowd of ponies began to laugh. Puzzled, the Doctor turned to Ditzy." "Was it some thing I said?" "Of course there are unicorns on this planet feather-brain! Stop acting like you came from another planet." "Really!? There are unicorns here!?" "Umm... yes." "Amazing!!!" the Doctor said, immediately, he scanned the crowd for any unicorns, not spotting any, he pushed his way through the crowd before seeing a mint-green unicorn mare. "Hahaha! A unicorn!" the Doctor said as he galloped towards the mare. "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! A unicorn! I never thought id see the day where there where unicorns but boy, I WAS SO WRONG!!! Hahaha, amazing a unicorn horn! Does it work? Lift something up!" The mint-green mare obeyed a lifted up a stone using magic. "Fantastic! Do it agai-" A grey hoof pulled him away from the trembling unicorn. Seeing her chance, the unicorn fled the exact opposite direction of the Doctor. "Doctor, what was that for!? You're embarrassing me!" "Oh, uh... sorry Ditzy, I guess I got a bit carried away there." "A BIT?!?!" "Well... more like a lot. But I can explain!" "I really need to teach you about this world, you don't fit in one bit. "That's pretty normal actually" the Doctor put on the most innocent face he could muster. "You're coming with me!" "Why where are we going?" "Someplace else... where you can't embarrass me." "Ok then, Allons-y!" Author's Note This Chapter was a one part story, the next Chapter will (Hopefully) be longer. Plus, this is my first story!
Things Heat Up part 1Things Heat Up Part 1 The Doctor struggled to break free of the wires connected to his legs, head and chest. Below him were an impatient purple unicorn and concerned gray Pegasus. Twilight feverishly paced around the room, picking up pieces of data and carefully examining them before dropping them and looking for more. The Doctor looked on, watching as the unicorn snaked around the various machines that scattered the floor. He looked across the room to see a very confused looking Ditzy, half watching Twilight piece two and two together. The Doctor chuckled, his first hour in a new world and he'd already a made a fool of himself, been strapped to various wires and become a test subject. Twilight gathered various mashes of data in her hooves and spread them out onto a table, studying them. "It just doesn't add up..." The unicorn broke the akward silence that had engulfed them for so long. "Everything looks like a normal pony." She continued."Except..." "Two hearts?" The Doctor asked hopefully. "How did you kn-" "You'd think a guy would know about something like that." "But... Ive never seen anything like it!" "That's because i'm not like you, that's what I've been trying to tell this little Pegasus!" The Doctor pointed his hoof at Ditzy who smiled guiltily in return. "What do you mean by "not like you"?" I mean I'm not really a pony, I come from somewhere else" "You can't possibly make me believe you're an alien, wheres the proof?" She said, thoroughly dumbfounded. "All the proof you need is in front of you" the Doctor replied, smiling fondly. "But... But" she panicked, she wasn't scared of the self-proclaimed alien, she was just contemplating the existence of aliens, and it made her feel small. The universe is a very scary thing. _______________ After being unstrapped from the various bits and bobs he was stuck to, the Doctor, Ditzy and Twilight made their way upstairs and into the library. As they arrived Twilight called something upstairs. She then began madly looking through the books, finding anything she could about space. A few moments later a happy little purple and green dragon appeared from the upstairs floor. He introduced himself as Spike. "Hi, I'm Spike, Twilights number-one assistant!" he beamed. The Doctor concluded that Twilight was the purple unicorn who seemed oddly paranoid at the time. "Hello, I'm the Doctor, a Timelord from the planet Gallifrey!" the Doctor said to the overly joyful looking dragon. "Well then... Anyway, Twilight wanted me to ask if you wanted any food or drinks!" "Oh, yes please, do you have tea, I like tea." "Yes sir," the dragon saluted. "and what do you want... Derpy?" "Oh... Uh, I'll have a muffin." "Alright, one tea and one muff-" "Oh, could I have a muffin too? With butter!" "Ok, make that one tea and two muffins with butter!" The baby dragon waddled into the kitchen, passing the still frantic unicorn. There was an awkward silence among the two of them, both avoiding eye contact with the other. The Doctor then spoke up. "I can't help but notice that the little dragon called you "Derpy". Did I just hear something wrong or..." "No, you heard correctly" she said plainly, the subject of that name made her uncomfortable. "So, if I didn't hear it wrong why did he call you that? Doesn't it seem strange to you?" "No, it's not strange its normal..." she trailed off. "...for me." "So, what is it? An nickname of sorts?" "You could say that..." "Then all ponies call you by that nickname?" "Yea" "But, where does it come from, why do they call you that?" the Doctor pressed. "I don't know" "Yes you do, you have to, it's your nickname, where does it come from?" "Well..." she started, gazing up at the ceiling. "I think their talking about my... Derpy eyes." She spoke sadly sulking into her chair. There was a long pause. "Well, that's not very nice" the Doctor said to himself. Ditzy didn't notice. After another few more long minutes spike came with a platter containing one cup of tea and two steaming, freshly baked blueberry muffins. Ditzy was the first to reach out and pick up her muffin, setting it on the table in front of her. The Doctor then reached his hoof over and tried picking up the muffin. Once. Twice. Three times. On the third try the Doctor gave Ditzy a helpless look and retreated his hoof back to it's previous spot. Seeing this, Ditzy sighed and lifted the Doctors tea and muffin towards him. The Doctor didn't make eye contact with Ditzy, he instead just stared down at his food for awhile. "Ew, blueberry muffins!" the Doctor thought. The Doctor had finally gotten over his embarrassment when the unicorn came to join them. As she did, she placed piles and piles of books around her, almost creating her own little fort. It was, at this time when the Doctor looked up from the muffin he had previously been prodding (in disgust, mind you) and stared at the paranoid purple unicorn. She looked like a true egghead, glasses and all, her hair was styled in a way that would make virtually any human on earth laugh. "Then again, the Doctor thought, we aren't on earth, are we?" Though she had sat down, the unicorn didn't look up, and the Doctor was beginning to believe Ditzy had brought him to the local mad scientist. It was after this thought that she finally spoke up. "Impossible." she said, the Doctor had noticed her muttering the same word over and over. And then another thought crossed his mind, what if this unicorn, Twilight, had been absolutely normal and the Doctor had made her go mad. It was a convincing story Considering it had happened before, except not about aliens and more about school. The Doctor, of course, didn't know this and instead just based around the fact she was calm up until he mentioned being from "somewhere else", and then she went completely bananas. Bananas are good. Twilight then stared up and looked at the Doctor, making eye contact, she said in an almost threatening way: "You're not scientifically possible." and she then proceeded to pick up her books and walk upstairs. Leaving the Doctor and Ditzy alone at the table. A few minutes later Twilight emerged from the upstairs floor, right as rain, with no sing of the previous... Fiasco. Twilight trotted over towards the table, carrying some data. She looked it over a bit and then called out. "Spiiikkkkeeee! Could you make me a coffee please? Thanks!" and sure enough, you could hear the faint sound of the coffee machine grinding away. "So," Twilight said. "what kind of alien are you?" "I'm a Timelord of the planet Gallifrey!" she Doctor said as he watched Twilight flip through her book. "Theres nothing on Timelords or Gallifrey in this book, I don't know where else to look." "I do" the Doctor said, happy to put to use a little something that he got in the Fishdent 2 sector C quadrant, about 1200,0000,0020 lightyears away, give or take. It is, in my opinion, important to note that the Doctor awoke outside the tarsus with his jacket on, he also took said jacket along with him and is, at the time of the story, hanging on the coat hanger just beside the door to Twilights library/treehouse sorta thing. The Doctor then got up from the table and trotted over to his coat and began rummaging around in his coat pocket. After a little while, the Doctor pulled out a small electric machine, kind of like a kindle. Of course, they don't have kindles in Equestria. The Doctor took the electric machine (in his mouth by the way) towards the table and put it, cover first, in front of Twilight. Twilight stared at the book for a minute, and then read the title aloud. "Don't Panic", she read, the words were in bold letters and could be mistaken for the name, of course, twilight had read enough books to know that wasn't the title, so she looked at the smaller letters on the cover of the electronic book and found them to say: "The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy!" the Doctor interrupted, "I considered getting the Encyclopedia Galactica, but I was told this one was better. Anyway, this should meet all your interstellar needs!" Twilight stared at the Doctor for a good, long while. She, being a pony, had never seen any sort of electronic device before was very obviously amazed that a single button could make a whole screen come to life. Also, the sole fact that there was ANY book in the universe she hadn't read sent long, nerdy shivers down her spine. But the most amazing something the book had to offer was all the scientific knowledge it contained of the universe. And so Twilight just sat there, looking at the electronic kindle-like book, her jaw slack, eyes full of awe. The Doctor thought maybe it would have been a good idea if he hadn't shown her the book. He was probably right. The awkwardness of the moment and the sheer bewilderment in twilights eyes made the Doctor feel a bit uncomfortable. Ok, maybe allot uncomfortable. The Doctor put his hoof out and dragged the book across the table. At this, Twilight snapped out of her trance and stared at the Doctor. He smiled apologetically and passed her the device. "So... What do you do?" Twilight asked, she couldn't get farther than the big red button that turns on the screen. "Well, you first decide what you want to search up, in this case it's Gallifrey, and then press the buttons with letters on them, when your done press start." He paused, "that's probably hard to do without hands, isn't it?" "Hands?" "Nothing, just... Well if we use the tips of our hooves (Haha, I have hooves) we should theoretically be able to type the words in... I think." And so, after what felt like a million failed attempts they was finally able to type G-a-l-l-i-f-r-e-y into the built-in keyboard. And so, one article appeared labelled simply as "Gallifrey", it read: Gallifrey is the home planet of the ridiculously snobby Timelords, a race that has 13 different lives. Whenever they die, a new Timelord appears with a different face and personality, and sometimes different gender. It is due to this that the Timelords will most likely soon die of overpopulation. "Thats a short article." Twilight said, staring at the book. "Well at least it's not like the article on earth." "Why, whats that one like?" "It's only one word." "What word?" "Harmless" It's true, go check you're copy, it'll say the exact same thing. "Oh", the Doctor said, "that's a bit out dated, the Timelords died about... 400 years ago..." Twilight gave him a look, she didn't like outdated copies of anything, especially books. When they finished the Doctor put the book aside. "So, you're species is gone" Twilight said. "Yep, I'm used to it." the Doctor said, sighing. "Well, what happened?" "I killed them." There was a long silence, nobody said anything, spike brought twilight's coffee to the table. He looked at the three morbidly silent ponies, shrugged, and returned to the kitchen. Then one impossible thing happened. A voice called from upstairs. "Spike, can you get me my quill!" It was Twilight. Author's Note Well then, new chapter finally Sorry for the wait I'll finish some more chapters soon
Things Heat Up part 2Things Heat Up Part 2 I recall saying the current situation is impossible. It is not. If it were impossible then it would not have happened. Which it did. Therefore it is not impossible. It is improbable. And the improbability of the situation is what makes it seem impossible. _______________ Astonished, the three ponies looked towards the stairs. Unfortunately the stairs had a slight curve to them so they couldn't see up the length of them. "Hello?" the Doctor called, eyeing the stairs for anything other than Twilight. There was no answer. The Doctor looked over at Ditzy and Twilight, then at the stairs. "Were going up." he said and before anypony could protest he trotted carefully up the stairs. He tried to make as minimal noise possible, this was hard considering he had hooves and not feet. And at the fifth stair he turned over to Ditzy. "You. Fly." the Doctor said, making little motions with his hooves. Ditzy gave him a confused look and spoke up: "Why." "Makes less noise." "Makes me tired." "Shut up and do it." And so the pegasus reluctantly spread her wings and began hovering in the air. "Is that good?" she said. The Doctor put his hoof out and attempted doing a thumbs up but remembered he had no fingers. He just nodded instead. As they got to the ninth step, encroaching on the tenth the same voice... ...Twilights same voice... ...Said something: "Spike is that you? You don't have to go hiding from me!" The group of earth pony, unicorn and pegasus shared a gasp. They looked up to hear hoofsteps. She was coming over. That ridiculous group of three did one thing: They panicked. And so, one by one the three of them bumped into each other sending an avalanche of colors down the stairs. At the end they landed like a sack of potatoes on the ground. The next instance happened in slow-motion, as do lots of other equally suspenseful moments in a beings life. Such as that one time a man dropped his house keys down the sewer grate. Or the time that one ape of GOMUI-V76 ALPHA fell off a Gombiii tree onto a carnivorous Oziboroug Plant. And so, the three of them, bound by some oppressing force of unnatural godly power had to sit there like a discarded garbage bag as Twilight began an excruciatingly long trot down the treehouse stairs. The only other living entity in this particular treehouse was Spike, who was in fact, the only person not bound to the slow-motion suspence, trudged into the room. Spike was holding up a tray containing Twilight's quill collection. Why she had a quill collection is a story for another day. Spike stared for a puzzled moment at the three ponies, though it somehow didn't strike him as odd that the three of them were moving very, very slowly. Spike gave a shrug, placed the quill on the table behind them and proceeded off to the kitchen. Twilight had made her fifth step downwards (which was her 12th step upwards, so you can compare it to the previous stair-walking experience the three at the bottom had) when her head finally spun around the corner. It was Twilight. Or an exact replica of Twilight, if you were the real Twilight looking at whichever is the fake Twilight. And on the inside, the fake Twilight was probably grinning and saying gotcha! But on the outside, they all remained slack jawed. All, but the Doctor. He studied the two and contemplated what exactly was going on. After a this slack jawed response to everything, the two Twilights finally broke eye contact and looked at the Doctor. "Changelings" they said in unison. The Doctor looked again at them both, looked down and nodded. "Zygons" the Doctor corrected them. "One of you is a Zygon!" the Doctor looked up and paused. "For the meantime," the doctor said, "you will be Twilight no.1" he said, pointing at the Twilight on the stairs, "and you, will be Twilight no.2." The two Twilights looked at one another and then to the Doctor. "But... I can't be Twilight no.2! I'm the real Twilight" "Oh, really?" the Doctor said, his head hung low as to figure out what to do here. Twilight no.1 noticed this and blurted out. "Hey, I'm the real Twilight! Not this... " she trailed off, not very keen on isulting herself. Even if herself happened to be in a different body. "What will we do..." the Doctor muttered, his eyes still on the floor. The still confused Ditzy heard this and lifted herself lazily off the ground. "We could do an investigation!" she said, "you know, we could become detective ponies and find out who the real Twilight is!" Despite the way that she put that, the Doctor still took it into consideration. "An investigation... hmmm..." the Doctor looked up, his eyes bright. "An investigation! Ditzy, you're a genius!" "Ummm... You're welcome..." "An investigation! Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that! Haha!" The Doctor looked up and made eye contact with the two of them. "Brilliant." he muttered. _______________ The Doctor had never actually done an investigation, he just thought it sounded fun. The Doctor also knew he couldn't have either of the Twilights helping him. And so, to prevent said situation arising, the Doctor put Twilight no.1 upstairs and Twilight no.2 downstairs and told them both to stay put and not interfere with the investigation. He got Spike to help instead. The investigation took an hour, give or take. They didn't find much of importance, a pair of glasses, a science book, a Zygon watch, ok, that may be important. Aside from that, nothing was really helpful. "Shame," the Doctor said, "I was hoping an investigation would be more fun, or at least turn up some clues. At that moment, the Doctor had absolutely no leads, and any idea he came up with was, in his situation, rubbish. _______________ When the Doctor finally called it quits, he gathered everypony upstairs and around a small-ish table that was just large enough to fit the Doctor, Ditzy and the two Twilights. The Doctor thought that he may need to tell the two Twilights apart, so, he went to his coat, pulled out two somethings and returned to the table. The somethings in particular were, in fact, a slightly worn out and crumpled fez and a dog tag made of some alien metal with the word Rover (evidently the name of the dog) and a phone number which read: 6@004-23$-5442*, an intergalactic phone number, obviously. He returned carrying the fez upside down in his mouth with the dog tag inside it. He dropped the two on the table, giving Twilight no.1 the fez and Twilight no.2 the dog tag. "Ok," the Doctor said, once both Twilights had finished, "let's go over our evidence, which, I admit, isn't very much at all." The Doctor had Ditzy lay the three items on the table. "So," The Doctor told them, "one or both of you are Zygons." he paused. "Though, I'm entitled to believe only one of you is, considering neither of you have attempted an attack." The Doctor sighed and looked down at the floor, he had no idea where to go from there. "Ummm... Doctor, we could, you know, interrogate them." Ditzy said hopefully. "No, too complicated," the Doctor looked up, "let's first go over what we've got to work with." "So, to begin the second half of our investigation," the Doctor looked over the items laid on the table, "were going to need some tea. Spike! Could you come here a minute?" And sure enough a little baby dragons waddling footsteps came slowly up the stairs. "Yes, what could I do for you?" the little baby dragon said in that little baby dragon tone that makes you want to pick up and cuddle that little baby dragon all day long. Ok, that may be a bit of an exaggeration. "One cup of tea please." the Doctor said. "Oh, and with milk and sugar." With that in mind the baby dragon waddled off once again, leaving the four of them alone in the room. "So, let's begin." the Doctor stated. "To start off, we have these glasses. Now, when me and Ditzy over here had the conversation with the mad Twilight she was wearing glasses, but..." the Doctor thought back for a moment, "when she left and came back from upstairs she wasn't, and that's when I'm assuming the switch started, and that would mean Twilight no.1 is the one with the glasses." Twilight no.1 nodded a painful nod to indicate this was true. "So, now we have to think if the original Twilight had glasses." "No, she didn't!" Ditzy said instantly. "So, that points against you, Twilight no.1!" The Doctor pointed his hoof accusingly at the fez sporting Twilight. "Wha- but I put them on afterwards!" she protested. "A likely story." dog tag Twilight said sarcastically. "Quit yapping at one another!" the Doctor said, as they were yapping almost like two chewawas. "There is still evidence pointing towards you, No.2! You see, how could you slip from downstairs to upstairs without us noticing?" Twilight no.2 gave a shocked look. "Ummm... uhhh..." "A likely story." No.1 mimicked. "Still, there is evidence pointing towards this you No.1, you see, this science book was upstairs, and this very science book was the exact same science book from in the basement! That would suggest-" "That Twilight no.1 is the culprit!" Ditzy blurted out. "No." the Doctor said, "Not just yet, you see, we still have one more piece of evidence, the Zygon watch." Both Twilights looked at the watch with a cold sweat. "This watch," the Doctor started, "was found in the kitchen, next to the back door, suggesting the Zygon came in from there. Now, lets have a look at this watch, shall we." the Doctor opened the straps to see that around the inside of the strap there were small half-circles. "You see these?" the Doctor said, "These would make an imprint on your hoof for no matter how long you wore it." Twilight no.2 gave a smirk of victory, no.1, a face of sheer terror. The Doctor continued. "Those marks would last more or less a whole day, so, let me see you're hooves!" Twilight no.2 obeyed, as no.1 reeled in horror. "No. No. No. No. No. No. NO!" she screamed! "So, I think we have a culprit." the Doctor smirked. "So, the situation went like this. The Zygon ship dropped one off when two was downstairs with us. One then placed her watch down, put on a pair of glasses she found and waited by the door to the basement and when two came up, she switched roles. So two was upstairs with the science book and one was with us, one then went upstairs and two came downstairs, then we noticed one and things played out from there. Isn't that right, my Zygon friend. Her look of pitifulness turned sour and hateful. "You may have stopped me, Doctor!" she said, not changing into her Zygon form. "But our attack isn't over, we will end the sorry planet and all who inhabit it. And you are just an added bonus! Hahahaha!" And with that a beam of foul red descended upon the Zygon as she was beamed up to her ship. "I guess I'll be staying here a while longer" _______________ The Doctor said his goodbyes over a cup of tea and exited the treehouse. "let's get to the TARDIS, shall we?" he said, giving a slight smile. He looked up, and recalled something, something important, something he noticed when he first arrived. "The Doctor awoke outside the TARDIS, looking up at the beautiful sun... an abnormally large beautiful sun." "Who did you say controlled the sun here?" the Doctor asked. "I didn't." A look of panic crossed his face. "Aaaaggghhhh!!!" The Doctor screamed as a searing pain struck his body. Vworp! Vworp! Vworp!
