Twilight wasn't supposed to say anything about magical blue boxes or her secret love who should have never been alive, but Discord is a jerk who made sure she told all her secrets. Now she is faced with the impossible truth of the impossible future and all because she hitched a ride with an impossible man. Crossover with Doctor Who, eventual side plot featuring the CMC, ships including Celestia&Discord, Twilight&OC, and The Doctor&Derpy, I also ship Rainbow with Applejack, but I won't get much into their relationship in this story. Also know that I'm not opposed to the occasional cus words and sexy time reference, so this is rated T for a reason. Please read and rate! Lot's of love LiBP.

A secret

“Come now Princess, you can’t lie to me.” Discord floated above Twilight's head and laughed at her discomfort, “I can always tell when somepony is lying.”

“Go away Discord.” Twilight rolled her eyes and walked up the stairs to her library home.

“Twilight has a secret,” Discord taunted, “Oh I do wonder if your diary can tell me,” In a flash of light, he was suddenly atop Twilight's dresser reading a book with the words ‘property of Twilight Sparkle’ written on the cover.

Twilight teleported the book form Discord’s hands and kicked it under her bed before laying down on the mattress, thinking, if she ignored him maybe he’d go away.

“Really Twilight, you have the scent of chaos magic all over you, if that’s not cause for alarm than I don’t know what is! So please will you just tell me?” Discord asked.

Twilight didn't respond, she just buried her head underneath her pillow. A fight with Discord wasn’t worth it, she had been in too many fights the last few months, she needed a break.

“Giving me the silent treatment?” The Chaos God said suddenly appearing by the side of the bed and staring at the alicorn. “You know if I wanted to I could make you do, or say, anything. Asking nicely is merely a formality.”

Twilight glared at this and peeked from beneath the pillow, “If you dare try I’ll turn you to stone.” She snarled.

Discord had the nerve to laugh, “You act more and more like Celestia each day dear Twily. But if you think you can defeat me without the elements,” He took a step back and gave a sarcastic bow “Go right ahead I’ll accept my unjust punishment.”

Twilight threw a pillow at him.

Again Discord laughed, with her lack of response, he would have to take matters into his own claws. Twilight felt magic picking at her brain, and she suddenly relaxed feeling unnatural trust toward Discord. Like she could tell him anything.

“What have you been hiding princess?” Discord whispered.

“SPIKE!!!” Twilight yelled before burrowing her head under her blankets.

“Yes?!?” Spike yelled from the bathroom where he was taking a 7 hour bubble bath.

When Twilight gave no response, Spike rushed into the room, still dripping wet and wrapped in a towel.

When Spike saw the scene before him, he felt immediately uncomfortable “Twilight and Discord in a bed together…” He observed, “Um, should I leave?”

Still with a foggy mind, Twilight poked her head out of the blankets to see Discord laying on the mattress beside her, grinning.

“Leave me alone weirdo!” Twilight demanded pushing Discord off the bed.

Discord fell and landed, still grinning, on the floor below.

“Make him go away!” Twilight practically cried to spike. “Send a letter to Celestia or something.” Discords spell circled in her head and Twilight could barely say the words.

Spike may have said something, but Twilight couldn’t make it out.

Suddenly Discord’s voice was loud in her ears, “So you really won’t tell me Princess?” He cooed.

“I can’t.” Twilight said simply, only barely holding on to her conciseness “Really. I’d be in too much trouble.” She had no longer had a grasp on what was going on beyond her own words and Discords stupid grin.

Discord talked once more, but Twilight couldn't make out what he said. Then she spoke despite her own will, the words didn't matter, as her mind was now focused only on how tired she was. Then Discord patted her on the head, and in a flash of light, he was gone, leaving Twilight to simply stare at the wall of her library as she drifted off to sleep.

She didn't dream.

“Wake up sugarcube.” A concerned voice urged from beyond Twilight’s comprehension.

“Maybe we should take her to a doctor.” Another voice chimed

“What exactly did she say?” A voice further away inquired.

“Um, that’s something she should tell you.” The last voice was Spike. Twilight could figure that much.

She felt herself moan and groan, and Twilight’s eyes fluttered open on their own power.

Applejack was the first pony she saw. “You’re awake!” Applejack exclaimed giving Twilight a hug.

“I am?” Twilight asked drowsily.

“How many hooves am I holding up?” an overly perky voice asked. Pinkie.

Twilight focused on Pinkie Pie “Uh, two.” She stuttered.

Pinkie grinned and nodded, wrapping Twi in a hug and expressing how happy she was that Twi was awake.

“Do you remember what happened Twi?” it was Rainbow who asked.

“Something with Discord?” Twilight's mind was still relaxed, she felt like laying back down and going to sleep.

“Ya.” Spike nodded and ran up to Twilight, “Was that thing you told him…true?”

Twilight snapped out of it almost immediately “Crap. What did I say?" She demanded, steeling herself for what could be horrible news.

Everypony looked confused and simply shrugged, except for Spike, who took it upon himself to explain.

“Um, you told Discord about…him” Spike said, “Don’t worry I didn't say anything to anypony.”

Twilight sat up in a panic, no no, she could NOT have this conversation right now, she had to get her mind right, think about this. “Thanks Spike,” She said, adding a nervous laugh in attempt to ease the tension “to the rest of you,” She looked at her friends, “um, thanks for checking on me, I should, well, go now.” She waved goodbye, about to teleport away, but Applejack grabbed her hoof and fixed her with a stern stare.

Twilight gave the element of honesty a timid smile, “Yes AJ?”

“Who is ‘him’?”

“’Him’ is no pony, no pony at all.” She laughed, adding mentally ‘yet’.

“Ooo, twilight has a coltfriend!!!!” Pinkie gushed.

Twilight blushed, “Well, he’s no really my coltfriend, but uh, he’s…” She trailed off, her face flooded with blush. What were the words for him? Dangerous? Dark? Rival? Cute? Handsome? Insane? “Something like that.” She muttered.

“No way!” Rarity gushed “Oh what’s his name? Where’s he from? Are you two, you know, official?” She tapped her hooves together suggestively.

“Uh, well, um, kinda? But well, we can’t be together. We just can’t. There’s…a divide.” A big honking huge divide of both time and war.

Rarity was thrilled, “So it’s just a crush? A one night stand possibly?” Rarity asked, grabbing Twilight's hooves and offering up her biggest starry eyed smile in exchange for information.

“Listen, I shouldn’t even be talking about this and-”

“Why would Discord be so excited about a crush?” Rainbow asked abruptly.

“Maybe he’s just trying to mess with Twi.” Applejack put in, “It wouldn't be the first time he did something just to get on her nerves.”

“That’s a possibility.” Dash responded thoughtfully. “So…do we even know this Stallion?” She asked with a raised brow.

“No,” Twilight responded, pulling away from Rarity and looking at the ground, “none of you know him.” She said sadly. “Almost nopony I know knows him. Just me, and one other.”

“A pony that I don’t know?!?!” Pinkie gushed. “That’s insane!!! Take me to him right now so I can throw him a ‘you and Twily hooked up’ party.”

Twilight was shocked, “Huh, no, trust me, you DON’T want to meet him.” She tried to stand firm on her decision. But it was hard, she really, really, really, wanted to go see him again. It would be dangerous, and stupid, and she might have to beg the Doctor, or jack a TARDIS, or both. But such acts were only things only a crazy pony would do. So, it would be better if she just stayed here. She gulped and shook her head. “We can’t go see him. It’s impossible.”

“Pleease Twilight!” All her friends seemed to beg.

Twilight frowned, she knew she would regret this. “Okay, here’s the deal. We need to ask somepony else if we can go see my…coltfriend” The phrase felt weird on her lips, “And if he says no we’re out of luck. Got it?” She asked her friends.

“Who do we need to go see?” Rarity asked, determined to meet this new stallion.

Twilight took a breath, four months of secrets about to crumble around her with her very next sentence. “We need to go see…the Doctor.”

“Doctor who?” Pinkie asked, a strangely knowing smile on her face.

“Exactly.” Twilight said.

Meeting the Doctor

Night had fallen and the outside air was cool on Twilight’s face as she led her 5 friends through the empty streets. The darkness made her wonder just how long she had been out for, when she had fallen asleep the sun was still fairly high in the sky, though she couldn’t remember the exact time.

She might have asked Spike, who was lounging on her back at the time, but she was way too nervous. She had sworn to the Doctor that her little adventure wouldn’t be spoken of again unless completely necessary. Really she hadn’t told her friends much. Even when she had the opportunity, she simply refused to take it, as she couldn’t fully explain what her life had been like merely 2 days prior, and 4 months before that. She had hurled through the space-time continuum, visited different dimensions, almost died more times than she could count, and did die at least once. Then she had fallen in love, he was a handsome and kind Stallion, one she wouldn’t meet on her own for many years. She had accepted that she would never see him again, at least, not the way she had seen him then. But here she was jumping at the first opportunity to crawl back to the Doctor and to crawl back to her love. How pathetic could you get?

She was interrupted from her self-pitying thoughts by voices, giggles to be precise. Female, most likely children. But the childish tone didn’t put her at ease as she felt herself institutionally tense, ready to draw the weapon she no longer had. Flashbacks flooded he mind, the giggles of Night Fillies, pretty much extra creepy zombponies who wondered the streets in search of stallions to devour and young fillies and mares to convert, were the first thing to pop to mind. Of course, the doctor had defeated the head filly and changed all the converted back to normal, including Twilight, but still, the memory was haunting.

Her suspicions were put to rest when Applejack addressed the unknown gigglers “Applebloom, what the hay are you doing on that roof?!?”

“Cutie Mark Crusaders,” said Applebloom, who was standing on the roof a her two friends Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle,

“NIGHT TIME STAR GAZERS!!!!” The trio yelled.

“We’re studying all the constellations we learned in school!” Sweetie Belle giggled.

“Ya,” said Scootaloo, “we’re gonna get stargazer cutie marks!”

“Well you shouldn’t be up on a roof! You’ll hurt yourself!” Rarity said.

“But it’s the best place to see the stars!” Applebloom pouted.

“You can see them just as well from the ground.” Said Applejack sternly.

“Aw, but I like it up here.” Sweetie complained.

“I won’t let you sleep over at Scootaloo’s house anymore if you’re going to hang out on roof tops when you should be sleeping.” Said Rarity.

“Same with you Applebloom.” Said Applejack.

“Uhg, fine. C’mon girls let’s go get our sleeping cutie marks.” Applebloom muttered, she tossed down a rope ladder and the three took turns climbing off the roof with pouty expressions.

Satisfied with their work, Rarity and Applejack continued to follow Twilight through the streets of Ponyville, leaving the 3 Crusaders alone.

“Well,” Sweetie Belle started, “We won’t be getting a ‘standing up to older sisters’ cutie mark anytime soon.”

“Where do you think they’re going?” Applebloom inquired. “In the middle of the night like this?”

“Only one way to find out.” Said Scootaloo, “Cutie mark crusaders, private investigators!”

“That’s awesome AND it rhymes!” Sweetie belle gushed “Let’s follow them.”

The three took to the shadows, tagging along behind the elder ponies.

Twilight rounded a street corner that she had come to know well, she had led her friends to a cottage that everypony knew to be Derpy’s house. But this little cottage held a secret.

Twilight knocked on the door a couple times, and almost immediately it swung open.

“Ah, Twilight!” It was Derpy who answered “I’m surprised they sent you! Did you, you know, bring the goods?” She narrowed her eyes and studied Twilight excitedly.

Twilight was not amused “No Derpy I didn’t bring you muffins.”

Derpy looked out at the group of ponies behind Twilight and raised her eyebrow “But I see you brought a party. Did snowflake send you? Is this an intervention?”

“It’s not an intervention, we've come to see the Doctor.”

“He’s out now.”

Suddenly a whirling sound came from the backyard, followed by a scream, “Ditsy, we have a problem!!!”

“Well, maybe not anymore.” Derpy muttered.

A stallion appeared at the door. He was brown in coloring with darker brown hair and big blue eyes. On his rump was an hourglass cutie mark. Every pony around town knew him as Time Turner, a fake name Derpy had come up with on the spot, but Twilight knew the truth, he was The Doctor.

“Ditsy, Ditsy, big giant mud monsters, backyard.” Then he noticed the guests, “Oh hello Twilight! I could use a bit of help!”

“On it.” Twilight said immediately, about to fallow the doctor, but Rainbow stopped her. “Where do you think you’re going?”

“To fight Aliens.” The Doctor put in “I kinda need her, so if you don’t mind,”

Twilight tried to fly over Rainbow, but Rainbow refused. “Explain what’s going on.”

“Can they come?” Twilight asked the Doctor.

“Absolutely not! Far too dangerous. Wait, you!” He zipped past rainbow and pointed at Fluttershy, “Yellow one.”

“Y-yes?” Fluttershy squeaked, cowering before the sudden movement.

“I’m told you have a stare power is that right?”

“Yes.” Her voice was barely audible.

“Haha! How would you like to use it to save the entire world?”

Fluttershy didn’t respond, she just stared up terrified.

“I will take that as a yes.”

“You can trust him Fluttershy!” Twilight chimed, “He’s the doctor.”

The Doctor pushed Fluttershy into the house, Twilight urged the rest to follow.

Derpy, who was used to this by now sat in the doorway and pouted, “Right, everypony just barge into my house and don’t even bring muffins.”

She was surprised by 3 sets of big eyes, the CMC. “Hey Derpy!” said Applebloom.

“Can we come in?” asked Scootaloo, “We’ll pay you in muffins if you keep quiet about it.”

Derpy considered this, “Three up front.”

“Deal!” Sweetie grinned, “Let’s go girls, I have some at my house, we can get there and back in no time!” The three darted away.

In the backyard, Doctor Whooves showed the mane 6 and spike the so called mud monsters. They were disgusting. Think a sentient puddle of black/brown mud with and acidic stench wafting off it and various bubbles of greens and grays erupting from the surface to give it shape. Also it had one hairy mouth with razor sharp teeth and a mixture of poison ooze and acid dripping from its long blue snakelike tongue. And there were like ten of them all melting into an oozy puddle and gnawing at a strange blue box in the middle of Derpy’s garden.

“Alright yellow one, do me you and everyone on this planet a huge favor and use your powers on those things! “The doctor said.

“What are they” rainbow asked getting a closer look, Applejack went to look as well.

One of the monsters snapped at Rainbow with its tongue and Twilight pulled both of her friends away with her magic. “Careful guys”

Fluttershy was petrified. Still staring up at the doctor.

“Yellow one-“

“Her name is Fluttershy!” Rarity interrupted.

“Fine, Fluttershy, you have to use your stare! Twilight round them up.”

“On it.” Twilight said now levitating as many of the creeps as she could with her magic. They squirmed and attempted to ooze away from her, making them extremely tough to keep in her grasp. “Fluttershy, it would be super helpful if you could-”

“OK, alright, I will.” Fluttershy walked up to the suspended mud monsters and began to use her powers.

The eyeless creatures stopped squirming and their mouths turned toward Fluttershy.

“Good! Twilight, don’t let them touch the ground, Flutter, keep them occupied, Rainbow pony, offer words of encouragement. Everypony else, come with me if you want to live!”

“Offer words of encouragement?” Rainbow asked as Spike, Applejack, Pinkie, and Rarity fallowed the Doctor Into the blue box.

“W-whoa” Applejack said looking at the inside of the blue box.

“Yes?” the doctor asked with a smirk.

“It’s bigger on the inside!” Pinkie cheered.

“The blasted mud monsters killed my Wi-Fi” said the Doctor, “So we have to look for information on them in the library.” He pushed the group down the hall of the tardis and opened a grand door revealing rows upon rows of books, more books than even the library at Canterlot Castle held. “Finding a book on them could take hours, so we have to work as fast as we can, the species are called mudings and they live on a-”

“Found it!” The doctor trotted up to Pinkie who was inexplicably atop one of the vast bookshelves, flaunting a rather large leather bound book. Pinkie threw a book down to the doctor and the doctor read the title, “‘Mudings, a Reference Guide.’ How did you-”

“It was under M-mmm!”

“Umm, right then” He shook his head and flipped through the pages, “Weaknesses, Weaknesses, ah, yes, ‘Mudings venom can seep through plastics, fabrics, woods, most metals, blah, blah, blah, the only known material their venom cant destroy is… aluminum. You, unicorn, fallow me!” He ran down the hall gesturing for Rarity to follow. He spoke fast as the two ran for the kitchen, “Alright, do you know any duplication spells?”

Rarity shook her head “No.”

“What about enlargement spells?”

“It’s hardly the time for that doctor.” She smirked.

The doctor gave a little giggle but quickly put on a serious face, “Not amused. You know what I mean,” The two arrived at the kitchen and the doctor had begun raiding the pantries, he stopped on a cabinet full of plates and various eating wear and pulled out a shiny object, “Can you turn this,” He held up to Rarity an Aluminum water bottle, “into a much larger version of this?”

Rarity shrugged, “I could manage.”

“Good, fallow me, I don’t know how much longer your friends can hold their magic.”

Rarity and the Doctor ventured outside of the tardis to see a truly terrifying scene. The ground where the creatures once sat was gray and dead looking, the poison had infected many flowers by now, and had eaten a hole in the side of the tardis. Twilight was sweating as she tried to hold what was now 20 or so of the mudings, they had multiplied, split like amoebas. Now a huge puddle of poison and acid floated above them, being held by the spell, suspended as if by an invisible water balloon that was full to the point of popping. Fluttershy didn’t look much better. Holding her stare for so long was making her lightheaded, she visually swayed with the effort, looking as if she needed a nap. But the mudings, despite occasionally splitting to form new monsters, all seemed to be entranced by Fluttershy’s tired stare.

Rainbow floated around the scene saying things like “You guys are doing awesome, stay focused.” And “Don’t worry, I’m sure the um, Doctor will be back soon.”

The Doctor placed the aluminum water bottle down on an untouched patch of ground.

“Gem pony,” The Doctor addressed Rarity, “Turn this into a bigger container, vast enough to hold those things.”

“It’s Rarity darling.” The unicorn said, effortlessly expanding the bottle into a large container.

“Twilight,” The doctor said “Move the mud monsters in, Flutter, keep the stare going!”

Twilight took a breath and moved the mass of muck over the container, Fluttershy hovered with the bubble of ick and kept the creature’s attention right to the point where twilight let them drop.

The monsters screamed in protest the second they were able to.

“Good work everypony.” The Doctor said. “The world thanks you.”

“What exactly are those things?” Rainbow asked.

“Aliens from the planet Horgon.” The doctor said examining the damage to the tardis, “When angered they will destroy everything in their path, eating the world thing by thing, pony by pony, until there remains only poisoned earth, themselves, and objects made of aluminum. I should take them home now if only because destroying them will get me on the princess’s bad side.” He turned away from the tardis and looked over the few ponies in the yard, “That reminds me, princess,” He addressed Twilight, “Why have you come here? Not for cookies and milk or a simple visit I assume.”

“No, I was just wondering, if, maybe you’d let my friends in on the secret. Maybe take them on an adventure of sorts?”

“You just want to go meet him again don’t you?” The doctor gave a knowing smile.

Twi blushed, “That too.”

“Well you and your friends did just help to save the world, so I suppose an adventure is in order. And maybe you can help me find the Rift I’ve been looking for,”

“It would be an honor.” Twilight laughed.

“Well then your highness, feel free to give your friends a tour. Once I make repairs to the ship, adventure awaits. He opened the tardis door and gave a low bow, Twilight smiled and took the cue to walk onto the ship, giving the doctor a kiss on the head as she passed by, “Come on girls, you’re gonna love this.”

When the girls were inside, the doctor fallowed.

“Derpy! We have your muffins!” Sweetie Belle exclaimed laughing as she ran up to the porch of Derpy’s cottage.

The mare who was writing in a notebook at the time, looked up and grinned, “Sweet! What kind?”

“We got you two banana nuts, and one lemon surprise.” Said Applebloom.

“Then enter my dear fillies, the adults are in the back.”

“Thank you Derpy!” Scootaloo left the muffins on the porch and ran into the house. They emerged from the back door and looked around the yard. There was a very large water bottle strangely positioned by the garden, and a big blue police box, but the adults were nowhere to be seen.

“Where do ya thing they went?” Applebloom asked.

“I don’t know but, this looks like a job for the CMCPI” Said Sweetie, “Applebloom, examine the water bottle thingy, Scoots let’s go check out the box.”

“Got it.” Her comrades responded.

It didn’t take long for the group to discover something amazing, Sweetie flung open the door to the blue box and stared, “Um, guys, come look at this.” Her friends huddled around her and gasped.

“Well,” said Scootaloo, “What are we waiting for? Let’s go in.”

If only the 3 had known the trouble they were about to get into…

Author's Note

Well there's the second chapter! I want to take this time to thank everyone who clicked on my first chapter, and everyone who just read the second chapter. You guys are the best and I'm so excited that this got so many likes, I wasn't really expecting any. So I dedicate this chapter to you! All of you. Thank you for taking time out of your day to look at a silly story some kid posted online. You all made me smile even if you were one of the 5 and counting who left a dislike.

Now on to the technical stuff. This chapter was a lot longer than I expected it to be and I hope it all made some form of sense. Next chapter I think will revolve more around the CMC, either that or maybe some of Twilight's flashbacks. If you have any ideas please post below, I really take my reviewers opinions seriously.
I want to have a scene where Discord and Celestia are discussing the information Twilight gave Discord in the beginning of the story, and I'm not sure if I want to have that in the next chapter or the one after.

Pride

On the TARDIS

Twilight was nearly finished with her tour of the TARDIS, the last place left to go was the library, where she intended to show off the way it was organized, and the best places to read, books she recommended, and so on. She was so caught up in her plans that she bumped into the Doctor on the way, whose arms were overflowing with supplies to fix the damage the mudings had done.

“Oh, hello Twilight,” The Doctor greeted, “are you and your friends having fun?”

Twilight nodded, “I’ve been explaining to them the history of the TARDIS and what it’s for.”

“Can this thing really travel anywhere?” Dash asked flying up The Doctor.

“Absolutely, and to any time.” He confirmed.

The group began to chat a bit, sadly not knowing that those few seconds of conversation caused them to miss their chances to catch the stowaways by the names of Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

The CMC had spent several minutes poking around the main control room, debating on whether or not they should push the buttons around them to see what they do. Applebloom had talked them out of button pushing on the grounds that such a strange machine could break, leaving Derpy upset. So instead the group decided to explore one of the many branching hallways. As they left on their little expedition, they soon discovered the game room. When the Doctor had regenerated into a pony universe, he had felt the need to add a massive arcade complete with games, claw machines, and a slushy maker. Sweet. Safe to say the group decided they should hang out there for a while.

Once the Doctor had fixed the ship, and Twilight had finished her hour long tour of the library, the adults of the TARDIS met up in the main room. The Doctor then recruited the help of the main six, and together they all shoved the massive aluminum bottle that was nearly full to the brim with mud monsters, into the TARDIS.

In the main room, the Doctor stood before his new gang and said, “Alright then, let’s get these guys home, shall we?” He told them to hold on to something as he excitedly ran around the TARDIS pushing the buttons and pulling the switches necessary to leave time and space.

In Canterlot

Luna stood her perch guarding the night with a small sleepy expression. The setting was so dull, and her duties were pretty pointless seeing how nothing ever happened on the night watch. In her boredom, she saw a shooting star and smiled. She closed her eyes tight wishing silently for something remotely cool to take place. It turned out to be a bad wish.

Suddenly she was falling, gravity had reversed and she was shooting through the sky away from the castle. “Help!” She yelled as she landed with a thud on…something. She blinked the spots from her eyes and realized she was sitting on the floor of the throne room. Screaming was heard and she turned to see her sister being chased into the room by what looked to be a swarm of breezies. The little creatures were zipping around her mane and shoving her through the hallways into the massive throne room.

“STOP!’ Celestia yelled to the creatures, royal Canterlot voice at full height, “I DEMAND YOU LEAVE ME BE!” As she stumbled into the room the swarm disappeared into thin air, not even leaving a trace. She blinked and her eyes fell on Luna. “What has happened?” She demanded. “Is this one of your pranks?”

Luna was at loss for words, she simply shook her head in utter confusion. But it was at this moment that Celestia’s attention shifted, she realized the throne room looked different. The throne itself was turned away from the alicorns, and…and…was on a swivel?

The new swivel chair slowly rotated around and an all too familiar voice said, “Well, well, well, I was wondering when you two would show up.” He was petting a cat that disappeared as he stood and began to walk toward the princesses. “You’re late you know.” Discord smiled, shoving a piece of cake into his mouth and grinning, “I hope you don’t mind Celestia dear, but I have snagged a treat or two from your fridge.”

“Discord,” Celestia said dangerously, “YOU HAVE STOLEN MY CAKE AND DISTURBED MY SLUMBER FOR THE LAST TIME! PREPARE TO DO BATTLE!”

Discord laughed, stealing the fourth wall treading lines that accompanied the royal voice and using one as a toothpick. “You’re cranky when you wake up huh princess? I’ll make you a new cake if it means that much to you.” He waved his claw and a delicious triple fudge cake appeared. “For you my love.” He gave a mock bow and presented the gift.

Celestia narrowed her eyes but accepted the cake, grabbing it with her magic and placing it on a nearby table, “Are you just here to annoy us?” She asked as Luna went to observe the tasty dish.

Discord gave a smile, “Oh a little bit of that, but mostly I would like to gossip.” He batted his eyelashes and was suddenly leaning on a school desk dressed as a teenager “For one thing,” he spoke with a valley girl accent, “did you, like, know Twilight is fooling around with chaotic magic?” He giggled, and suddenly wore the outfit of a cop, “Not to mention a few other illegal things.” Than he was sitting by the table with Luna, cutting a slice of cake for the three of them and serving it up.

“Do you really expect me to believe that Discord?” Celestia demanded, regally trotting over to the god of chaos. “Twilight would never involve herself in something like that.”

“Maybe not in something like that, but she would involve herself in somepony like that. Especially one as cute as the stallion she described.”

Luna gasped at this staring at Discord, “You mean to tell us that…Twilight has a coltfriend?” She asked, crossed between shocked and overjoyed.

Discord gave a little chuckle “That’s precisely what I mean to tell you Luna dear.”

Celestia stared “So she found somepony who she likes, versed in chaos magic…” She gulped, “Why are you telling us this Discord?”

Discords eyes shone with amusement and…pride? Luna couldn’t tell. He turned to Celestia and said slyly, “Because the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree, dear Celestia. I just thought you would want to know, you taught her well, she’s practically a mini version of you.”

Celestia blushed but didn’t protest as Discord moved toward her and wrapped her in a hug, planting a soft kiss on her lips. He pulled away from her and produced a single rose, placing it in her mane. Then he said, with the most gentle and sweet tone Luna had ever heard from him, “You should be proud.” He leaned in closer and said, barely a whisper, “I am.” Then he was gone.

This left Luna to stare at her blushing sister, “I believe you have some explaining to do.” She told her.

Author's Note

Third chapter everypony! What can I say about it? I came up a blank and resorted to shipping. And I'm quite glad I did! Tell me in the comments, should I leave the Celestia plot at an end there, or run with it and be going back and forth between what's happening on the TARDIS and whats happening in the real world? Now that the TARDIS has left Derpy's yard, I can get the adventure ark rolling in the next chapter. Please review, tell me what you think.
