Out in the suburbs of Canterlot lay a small cottage with a big barn next to it. Only there was no farm there, just the cottage. A pony was walking into the cottage, carrying a wagon with a tarp over it. It was Tinker, and he looked rather sad.
"Who knows maybe she will agree to it", it was Tinker. "Oh if she wanted to invest she would have given you the bits there. I should have known she'd want nothing to do with me. After all this was the reason I was thrown out of the academy. If only their was someone who could see what potential my device has". Tinker placed the wagon in a small shed nearby and went inside the cottage.
The cottage was in a reasonable condition with a hard wood floor. There was a living room area which consisted of a green couch, three white chairs, and a window. He walked into the kitchen which was standard and made himself a peanut butter sandwich. He walked down the hall, while eating his sandwich, into his study. The study's floor was a dark blue rug. There was a desk piled with notes, books, and other random gibberish. Right next to it was a large bookshelf consisting of various science and anatomy books.

"Maybe I need to rethink all of this. I could start a different business, do the family business of jellies and jams". He sat down and slammed his head down on the desk. "Oh what am I thinking I'll never make anything that's useful. Maybe my true talent is being worthless". He reached down under the desk and pulled out a bottle of cider. "Cider please, heal my wounds".

Back at the castle Celestia and the Doctor decided to have some tea and cake and talk about their lives. Twilight had instead decided to go to the library and look up any information she could on the Doctor. Celestia and the Doctor each grabbed a cup of tea, and a slice of cake and sat down at the table.
"So mind telling me how you changed this time", Celestia asked teasingly.
"Well the TARDIS landed in the middle of a gang shootout. I made the error of walking outside. I would have survived if the doctors had just listened to me".
"What were you saying to them".
"I'm not equestrian".
"Now come on even I would have operated on someone who said that".
"Well I was trying not to die". After he said that Twilight came in carrying several books on her back.
"Okay I've got it right here", she said smartly. "It talks right here about a doctor that helped heal ponies after Discord was turned to stone for that first time"
"I remember that day", the Doctor said excitingly. "Yeah, Discord caused quite a bit of trouble for those ponies. I remember one patient who was saying that she was the new Discord. I quickly sorted that out. Then their was s stallion who-".
"Now that's impossible", Twilight interrupted. "This diary is from over 1000 years ago. Theirs no way you could have been there and still be alive today".
"I tend to do some pretty impossible thing", the Doctor said as he smirked.
"Princess can we please bring him to a hospital. This pony is crazy".
"Now Twilight the Doctor is a good friend of mine I would never kick him out. Besides it isn't like I've tried before", Celestia said glaring at the Doctor. "Now then I've completely forgotten my duties. Twilight I think you should stay with the Doctor. He can teach you much more things than I can". With that she walked out of the dining room into the main throne room.
Twilight had begun to walk after Celestia until the Doctor stopped her.
"Now I'm pretty sure Tia told you to stay with me", the Doctor said amusingly.
"I would stay with you but you just so happen to be a whole new level of crazy"! Twilight then stormed out of the dining room leaving the Doctor behind.

'Fine go by yourself, that means more cake for me".

"I can't believe that pony", Twilight said while walking to her room. "I mean really he's supposed to have lived for over a thousand years, and stayed friends with the princess"! She walked by Celestia's study and noticed the blue box again "And then theirs this thing, which supposedly lets him travel anywhere he likes. And what is a Police Box anyway"! She got so mad she turned around and kicked the box. Only to immediately forget over her now sore hoof. "Ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow". She turned glared at he box then walked off back to her room.
She decided to stay in the room she had before. She tended to like the room with it's view over Canterlot, and it made her feel like she was at home. She walked over and fell onto her bed, while levitating over a picture of her friends.
"I wonder what they would do in this situation? Rainbow would call him a spy, AJ would say something along the lines of who the hell are you, and Pinkie would most likely throw him a getting to know you party. I miss them all"
"I can imagine the feeling". Twilight shot up only to see the Doctor standing in the doorway of her bedroom. "They all sound wonderful", he said in a calm voice. Twilight was going to kick him out but then remembered her idea of getting to know you.
"They really are a great group", she responded.
"That's a life I could never have. I used to have a great friend. He was a great pony, up until he was 8".
"What happened around then"?
"No one really knows. All we knew was that he went mad. We both ran away from our home, and we met again on occasion. Only thing was now we were enemies. He always tried wiping out life on earth but luckily I was always there to stop him. I only just recently lost him again".
"What happened to him", Twilight asked caringly. The Doctor looked up and glared at her.
"Me". It was at that moment Twilight saw his eyes. They were so old....yet so sad.
"Well whatever happened at least you now have Celestia again". The Doctor started to chuckle.
"That is so very true".
"Look I noticed we got off on the wrong hoof so maybe we could try again"?

"I would like that". Twilight grabbed a seat for him and the two talked for hours. In that time nothing bad was said, they were talking about their past, present, and what they wanted to do in the future. Twilight kept noticing the Doctor saying strange things but she chose to ignore them. For now the Doctor was a new friend.

Back in the suburbs a loud snoring sound could be heard. It was Tinker, who had drank in his sorrows, straight to sleep. He lay face down on his desk, drooling a bit. He had begun to wake up, and had the worst headache.
"Uhhhhh", he said loudly. "Am I dead yet. Of course I'm not". He looked up at the clock. "Midnight eh. Well better get to the bed". As he was walking noticed something out of his window, which made him excited. "A meteorite! I've never seen one with my own eyes before"! He watched as it disappeared into the distance, and landed somewhere nearby.
"Now this is something I have to see". He forgot all about his hangover and rushed down the stairs. While running he grabbed his toolkit lying on the stairs, and ran out into the wilderness.
