When Discord Ends His Reign

"Okay, Doctor! Be careful with her!" Dinky waved at the two as they trotted off back to the TARDIS.

"I will, don't worry!" He waved back as he quickly scanned the surroundings for the cloud that held the blue box. He spotted the large cloud and motioned for Twister to hop on his back. She jumped and held on to his neck while they flew. Once they finally arrived, The Doctor smirked at Twister and sat down.

"Were you listening to our conversation?" He crossed his hooves.

"No..." She glanced down to the side.

"I won't tell if you did." She contemplated this offer for mere moments.

"Promise?" She looked back up to him as he smiled and held out a hoof.

"Promise." They shook hooves before she began to spill it all.

"I always listen in on their grown up conversations."

"You do?" He genuinely was shocked, for he had gotten the impression that this filly was clumsy and probably couldn't pull that off.

"Yep, I hide behind walls, under tables, once I even got in the vents!" She seemed very proud of herself for deceiving her family.

"Okay, let's test that. You hide, I count to 20."

"All I need is 10." She smirked at him and swished her tail.

"All right, hot-shot. Let's see what you've got." He began to count, expecting to hear loud hoof-steps, but only heard silence. After 10 he looked around the room quickly and saw nothing out of place. He got up and began to search.

He had searched for a good 45 minutes and found nothing. Not a speck of dust out of place and no Time Twister to be found.

"Okay! I give up!" He giggled for a few seconds before seeing a small filly run out of a nearby room. "Hey! I already checked there!"

"I moved to the room you last checked every time you entered a new one. Quite simple really." She smirked again and held up a hoof.

"You little trickster!" He laughed at her cleverness. But he had to admit, she was quite the trickster.

"Worked on things like that since I was 4." She sat back down and brushed back her mane, which had been ruffled from the game.

"Really? No offense, but I thought you were, um, kinda..." He tapped his chin.

"Clumsy?"

"Yeah..."

"Just bad eyesight, but I can follow others just fine." She was quite an impressive filly. He walked over to the control panel and pulled out a small key attached to a string.

"Here, we're going after cyberponies and I can't always open the door for you."

She jumped in glee and fluttered her wings, grabbing the small key. She threw the rope around her neck and jumped again.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"No problem. Just don't lose it."

"I won't!"

He grabbed the small bag he had carried to the TARDIS and pulled out some hair samples. After examining each one he had concluded one thing. That all of Time Twister's family were normal ponies.

"That's weird..."

"What?" He contemplated saying nothing, but he knew that she would find out one way or another.

"Your whole family is normal..."

"That is weird." She tilted her head and looked the genetics results, even though she could barely read them.

"Wait!" He slapped himself in the face and ran across the room grabbing the sample of Time Twister's DNA and plucking one of his own hair. "Stupid Doctor, stupid!" He placed a sample of Time Twister's DNA in the machine, this time resulting in many error notes flying from the machine. He pulled out the sample and put both his and Dinky's DNA in the tray. The machine reacted the same as it did with hers. "How could I be so thick!" He was swarming around the room, grabbing paper by paper, comparing results. "I knew it!"

"Knew what?" Time Twister stared at him, her head tilted and confused.

"I only denied it because of the chances but it's my only answer!"

"What is?"

"This is incredible!"

"What's incredible?"

"I can't believe it!"

"Can't believe what?!" She yelled at him and stared.

"Oh, sorry. Well, I think that you might be, um..."

"Be what?"

"Half timelord..."
