The 8th Doctor Adventures: New Beginnings
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Wow look at that”! Twilight had pointed out of her window to a light travelling through the moonlit sky. “Isn’t that a shooting star, or something”? She would normally know the answer but right now she was exhausted. The Doctor looked out at the light.
“Well technically yes, but it’s just a meteorite, it should burn up anytime now”. The Doctor didn’t want to say it but he felt something odd about that meteor. “Well you should probably get to bed. It’s midnight now”. Twilight began to lie down and pull up the blankets.
“Should we be worried”, she asked while yawning.
“No it’ll all be fine”. He blew out the candle and walked out of the room quietly, into the dim lighted hallway. “We should be worried”, he said to himself and ran down the halls. While he was running he recalled something. “Wait, it’s midnight so that means…”. He turned and ran down a different hall to the kitchen.
In the kitchen there was a just woken up Luna. Her mane was in a mess, and she was wearing her black robes. She was just about to have another sip of coffee when the Doctor burst it.
“Luna”! Luna turned to see a very happy Doctor. She had not seen the Doctor in a while, and was delighted to see him again. She hopped up and went to give him a hug.
“Doctor I haven’t seen you in forever”! She then had a look of concern on her face. “Why are you back anyway”? He thought very carefully about his words.
“I can’t just tell her I came here to find a new companion”, he thought to himself “it would just seem rude”. He thought about what to say, and finally thought of something. “Actually Tia called me here to talk to Twilight”, he finally said.
“Why would she need to have you talk to her”, she questioned again. The Doctor wished she hadn’t.
“Well now that Twilight is learning new things about magic she thought it would be good to talk to me”. At last he felt that Luna would stop questioning him.
“Well…..okay, I guess that makes sense”. She began to yawn,”so why are you still up”? That’s when he remembered how they might be in danger.
“I’m up to investigate, however I am going to need some guards to accompany me”. Luna asked no questions and turned to two pegasi guards outside the room.
“Chives, and Junior you two are to accompany the Doctor while he most likely goes charging into danger”. She said the last line while turning to glare at the Doctor.
“But princess”, Chives said, “our orders from the captain was to stay here”.
“Well I overrule the captain”, she responded in a harsh tone, “now you two will follow the Doctor and do exactly what he says”. Both of the guards had no clue what to say or do. If they left they would be scolded by the captain, but if they stayed they would be scolded by the princess. After a minute of silence, Junior spoke up.
“We will accompany the Doctor and will follow orders from him, and him only”, he replied in a much higher voice than that of Chives.
“Good”, Luna said, “now would all three of you please get out so I can have some coffee”.
“Right, both of you with me”, the Doctor said while walking out of the kitchen. Luna was already thinking of how upset the captain would be, but she had no choice. She knew that when the Doctor needs guards its for something important. She sat back in her chair and took another sip of coffee.
The Doctor was soon running down the halls with the two guards behind him.
“Excuse me Doctor, but shouldn’t we be going outside to a carriage”, Chives asked.
“Of course not that would take too long”, he replied. They soon began running towards Celestia’s wing.
“Umm, Doctor we aren’t allowed at this section of the castle”, Junior said while panting. For he had just joined the guards about a week ago, and this was his first surprise assignment.
"Well seeing as though I bypass every law here I think I can take you to the other wing", the Doctor replied in a rush. They were just about to reach Celestia's study when one of her guards showed up.
"What are you three doing here at this time of night", the guard replied in a voice deeper than Chives'.
"Well it just so happened that we're trying to save the world", the Doctor replied in a annoyed tone, "and it's a lot harder to do so with a big idiot blocking my way"! He then tried to walk past him only to be blocked by the guards wing.
"I don't think so you three are clearly trespassing, and will be thrown in the dungeon", the guard said in a very angry tone. He began to haul the Doctor, and looked at the other two guards. "I thought you two would know better. Now run off back to your captain". Chives and Junior blocked the guard.
"Now you listen here", Chives responded sounding even angrier then him, "we are on orders from princess Luna, and unless you want to be disbanded let us through"! The guard didn't know what to say, he just stood there. Finally he let go of the Doctor and began to walk away.
"I guess I can let you past this time, but don't let me catch you again". The guard walked off to return to his post.
"Well now that that's over let's continue". The Doctor walked into Celestia's study, and walked towards the box. Chives and Junior had never been in Celestia's study. It was overall very peaceful, with a fireplace, small bed, and a desk for her to work at. What set the room off was the fact that there was a blue box in the middle of it all, and for some reason the Doctor was going towards it. He pulled out a key and opened the door to the box. "Come along you two", he gestured while walking into it.
"Junior, I'm sure that this pony is crazy. There's no way that that thing can hold all three of us".
"Maybe it's bigger on the inside". Junior began to walk inside making Chives follow him. Chives had begun to laugh.
"Do you really expect me to believe that this thing is-". He stepped inside the box. "bigger on the inside"? The door closed and the TARDIS began to De-materialize.
Tinker had found the meteorite, only to find out it wasn't one. It was some sort of shuttle that had crash landed. As he went to investigate he saw that it was fully silver, with bits of it falling off. Most likely from the impact. He went around the entire out side trying to find to find some way to get in. After about a minute of searching he found an outline of a door. However it was no ordinary door as it was made of metal with no doorknobs of any kind. Tinker put down his toolkit and began to dig through it.
"Ah ha", he exclaimed, "now lets try to open that door"! He carried a screwdriver with him up to the door and began to try to wiggle it through the crack. It eventually snapped the screwdriver in half, to Tinker's surprise. He looked up at the spaceship and began to wave his hoof. "Listen to me you ship I will get inside"! He turned to his toolkit and pulled out a laser shooter, one of his prized inventions. Turning it on he cut a hole right through the door onto the other side. He excitedly grabbed his toolkit and ran inside.
