As we walked along towards… wherever we were going, I was still wondering how I got here.

“If the TARDIS malfunctioned, then I would’ve been flung straight into the void. But actually, this is way better, very different from London! I wonder how being a pony will affect my diet? I’m overthinking this. Just a fix of the TARDIS and I’ll be off!” I said. Then I inhaled.  I decided to ask where we were headed.

“Where are we headed, Ditzy?”

“We’re heading to Ponyville.” She said.

It was night, and we were wandering around. It seemed as if Ditzy was lost.

“Ditzy, are we lost?” I asked her.

“No, I just have some navigational difficulties. It would be easier if you could fly like me.” She stated.

“Well firstly, I can’t fly and secondly yes! We are completely lost! I hope somebody finds us soon. What I would do for some fish fingers and custard now!” I said. I was getting really hungry.

“Fish what and what?” Ditzy said.

“Never mind. Well, are we almost there?” I said.

“Well, yes, here we are! Welcome to Ponyville! I’ll go by my house and get the muffins for you!” Ditzy said as she flew away to her house.

I sat down and observed the other inhabitants of the village. It was like that market by the docks in London. At least, it reminded me of that event.

“Get your delicious nutritious apples here!” I heard a voice say.

“Delicious and nutritious, and so many uses! You can eat 'em. Play with 'em. Create fine art for your home with 'em. You have to be crazy not to get a bushel of your very own!” I heard another voice say. It seemed as if somebody was selling apples.

“Heh... she's so creative, heh.” The first voice said as I walked by the apple stand a little pony up to me.

“You, sir, care t' buy some apples?” she asked me.

“No thanks.” I said.

“Why not?” she asked. She was on to me! I needed to say something and fast!

“I have plenty at home.” I finally said.

“Are you sure?” she asked.

“Yes, I'm pretty sure I...” I said.

“You're pretty sure, but you're not absolutely positively completely super-duper sure, are you?” she asked. I needed to be left alone. I couldn’t bear it anymore!

“Y...ah... If I buy some apples, will you please leave me alone?” I said.

“Aaal-right!” she said as I gave her 5£ and she left.

I ran away with the apple in my mouth, bit into the apple and instantly spit it out.

"this is one of the WORST apples i've ever eaten!" i said to myself.

suddenly as if it were magic, Ditzy appeared in front of me.

"how's the apple?" she asked me.

"Horrible. these apples are rubbish, from now on, I hate apples." i declared.

we stood there with no progression of conversation whatsoever.

"I’m going to go home, so see you later!” dizzy finally said.

“See you soon, Ditzy. Oh! If you see the TARDIS in your attic, don’t panic. I sent it there.” I told her.

“Okie dokie! See you later!” Ditzy said.

I turned, found a bench and sat on it the way humans would. benches are for sitting on, not for laying on.

as i sat there, ponies kept staring at me, as if i was a madpony or something.

heh, madpony.

“Having these hooves are quite disabling. I had to hold my sonic screwdriver with my mouth.” I sighed.

“I miss the humans.”

Suddenly, a seafoam green pony ran up beside me.

“Did you say… HUMANS?” she said to me.

“Who are you?” I asked, completely confused.

“I’m Lyra. Lyra Heartstrings. And you are?” she replied.

“I’m the doctor.” I answered.

“Doctor Who?” she asked raising an eyebrow.

“Just the doctor.” I said.

“Well, doctor, you know about humans right? RIGHT?” she said.

“Uh.. No.” I replied.

“But you said something about humans! So you must know something!" she backed away enough to give me some space to breathe.

"see you around, Doctor." she said as she walked away slowly.

Uh… what just happened? My brain was still rattled from that awkward conversation. I decided to pass by Ditzy’s house.

“Who is it?” I heard a voice say from the other side.

“The doctor. It’s the doctor.” I said.

“Doctor! There you are! Come in, come in.” she said.

“Would you like for me to take your tie?”

“No thanks. I’ll be ok with it.” I said.

“so, what’ya think? Oh and I checked for your tardis, but all I saw was a blue police box. Is that it?” she said.

“Yes, that’s the TARDIS. Would you like to see the inside?” I offered.

“Would I!” she said energetically.

We went upstairs and I opened the TARDIS.

“Wow… it’s smaller on the outside.” She remarked.

“Y’know, most people say it’s bigger on the inside.” I said.

“And this is your home? She said.

“A home of sorts.” I answered.

just then the doorbell rang.

"I'll go get that." Ditzy said.

i couldn't hear the exact conversation, but i heard something that vaguely sounded like this:

"life! i wasn't expecting yellowcake! come on in!"

"hello dizzy, i was white feathering if you k'ung futzu about the dabbling duck?"

yeah, he's ulcerable!" then i heard ditzy call me down.

i went down and, most unexpectedly, there was no life, or yellowcake!

instead i find Lyra!

"H-How did you find me?" i asked, extremely confused.

"well, i had assumed you'd be here!" she said. "that and i barged into every house in ponyville…"

we all sat at ditzy's kitchen table.

“So… who are you anyways doctor?” Lyra asked.

“Well, what would be a better question. You see I’m not usually a pony. Usually I’m…” I began

“A human! Right?” Lyra said.

“I was at least homo sapiens in appearance last time. I’m actually a timelord from planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I travel through time and space.  I’ve lived almost a millennium. I’ve been running my whole life, through time and space, every second of every minute of every day for over 900 years. and now i'm standing in a room with a unicorn and a pegasus!” I said.

“And you know all this?” Lyra said to Ditzy. Ditzy simply nodded.

“Well, I accidentally arrived here. I was attacked by an alien species called the Daleks, they look like robots and say…” I said

“EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!” I heard a familiar metallic voice say outside.

Not good.
