Resurrection

     One day, when Christmas was five, she and I met the Doctor. That was quite the day.

     "Excuse me mister," Christy says. "Are you the Doctor?" He turns around. "You know me?" he says, smiling. I step forward. "Hello Doctor. Long time no see," I say. "Trottingham, was it?" His jaw goes slack. He looked genuinely surprised and scared at the same time. "Why, if it isn't Hurricane Bash. Brother of Blitz, husband of Vinyl, and father of little filly Christmas." This got me into a big story in the form of a visible flashback. "You see, the doctor and I have known each other for years. It all started when I was just a colt…"

                                                                   Flashback

     Someponies have imaginary friends. Others are too old for them. I don't have an imaginary friend, he is quite real. He calls himself the Doctor. I first saw him when I was very little…

     As a young colt, I lived in Trottingham with my mother. She was incredibly lenient, probably because we were so rich. Her name was Whirlwind Flash. She cared a lot about me. Alas, she died when I was twelve. So I ran away to Cloudsdale to live with other pegasi. On my way, a flying barn nearly took my head off. "Whoa," I said. "I wonder who's in there?" So, I followed it. I flew toward it at full speed, straining my wings to do so. I caught up to it, because our butler had taught me how to fly very well. I grabbed the door handle in my mouth. I tucked in my wings and let the barn take me. Like an idiot, I knocked on the door. Wait a minute, I thought. Why would somepony who is flying through the sky open the--

     Somepony opened the door.

     "Hello?" the stallion that opened the door said. He had a tan brown coat wth a darker brown mane. I waved my hoof in front of his face. He raised an eyebrow, and looked around the door to see me. Then he raised both eyebrows. "Well," he said. "We can't have that can we?" I smiled at him with my mouth still on the handle. He chuckled and helped me inside. As soon as I was inside, my jaw dropped considerably. "Oh sweet Celestia," I said. "It's bigger on the inside!" The stallion turned around and laughed so incredibly long that I couldn't say a word. Then, a mare came in from another room. "What's so funny, Doctor?" she said. She was baby bluish-gray, with a blonde mane. She saw me, and gave me a walleyed, kind of confused, look. "Um, who are you?" she asked. "Ah, yes, you never did introduce yourself, little colt. What is your name?" the Doctor asked. "Oh, um… my name is Hurricane Bash," I said. "Who are you?" He smiled warmly. "Ditzy, would you mind introducing us?" "Not at all, Doctor," she said. "I am Ditzy Doo, and this is the Doctor." He did a little bow of his head. "Doctor… who?" I asked. Ditzy smiled largely. "Doctor, did you hear that?" she said. "Hear what?" "He asked the question!" "Ah, he did, did he?" He turned to me. "Isn't that what we all want to find out?" I opened my mouth to say something, but he cut me off. "As for this thing that you are in is called the TARDIS." It stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space," Ditzy said. "Ahhh," I said. I was still mystified. "Soo, where do you want to go first?" asked the Doctor. "Or should I say, when? Pick a time, any time." I thought for a little while. "The origional Hearth's Warming Eve."

     We flew off in the TARDIS, apparently headed toward the first Hearth's Warming Eve. It was quite the ride. Bumps every five seconds, violent shakes, oh it was simply divine! Not. At the end, I was sprawled out on the floor of the TARDIS. On the ground, I looked around. Opening my mouth to say something, I got a hoof in it. I started flailing my legs around. The Doctor looked down. "Erm, whoops," he said. He took his hoof out of my mouth. He outstretched his hoof to help me up.

     I trotted to the door of the TARDIS, not knowing if I should go out or not. "Go on," Ditzy said. "The fkrst time is pretty mind blowing, but you get used to it." I opened the door slowly. I could not believe what I saw! There were tall buildings and ponies flying around with big contraptions that looked like carriages with rooves and no ponies pulling them. "Whoah," I said. "This- this is amazing! But, this isn't Hearth's Warming Eve, is it?" "No," the Doctor said. "This is Equestria, just one-hundred years after Celestia's rule ends."

     When I snapped back to reality, Christy was waving her hoof in my face. "Sorry, that flashback was quite long." Yeah," she said. "Tell me more about Equestria after Celestia!" I chuckled. "That's a story for another time. So, what brings you here, Doctor?" He seemed to remember that we were there. "Oh! Well, I came to get Ditzy," he said. "We have to meet the Trottans* to discuss war preperations." I chuckled. "Well, I guess you best be on your way, then. Good luck!"
