(Not) The Last Of His Kind

The Doctor wiped a hoof over his forehead. He sighed with relief, for he just had a minor run-in with the Master. Encounters with his once friend was more common in this dimension for reasons he can't seem to find. "Let's see, what was it he was rambling on about? Gallopfrey, yeah yeah, that..." He muttered to himself, in deep thought. The Master had been in a psychotic moment. More than usual. "Now what was that again- Oh yeah! Crazy old bat. Gallifrey doesn't exist anymore... not even in this dimension of equines..." He said, having to remind himself of that fact. His eyes drooped a bit with sadness, his face maintaining that bit of tenseness. He looked at his TARDIS, which was located a bit outside of Ponyville, right in the mid distance between the quaint town and the everfree forest. There were two trees, one slightly in front of it to the left and the other slightly behind. He sighed as he unlocked and opened it, only for his eyes to widen at a sight he didn't expect. There, in the TARDIS, was... a colt.

"Oi, how'd you get in here?!" The Doctor said with an eyebrow raised, his face tense with confusion. Why was some random colt in his TARDIS? He was especially concerned since he had locked the TARDIS before he had left. Did the colt break in? The pegasus colt looked up at him, his eyes wide. He had a tan coat, with blonde hair that covered the very top of his left eye. His face was shaped more like an adult mare's face, not the normal shape of a colt's, and he was a bit taller than the average colt. He had scrap metal scattered around him, and he seemed to be building something with them. "O-Oh, is this yours? Sorry, I thought maybe no one owned this..." The colt said as he shyly looked down, seeming slightly ashamed and embarrassed. The Doctor frowned, his face relaxing with realization that his confusion may have come across as anger. "It's ok." He walked up to him, raising an eyebrow but still keeping a calm, kind composure. "Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" He said concerned.  The colt looked down a bit again, and then spoke, his voice not as high pitched as other colts', yet also more mature and teenage-toned than others, "I don't have parents, just a sister. She's busy and I got bored so I wandered around." He said, innocently looking at the doctor with big eyes. The Doctor raised his eyebrow even farther, "Why would you just walk around alone? Couldn't you have asked your sister? Does she know?" The pegasus sighed, "She couldn't have come. She owns and manages the local ice cream shop. She knows that whenever I'm not in the house, I'm walking." The Doctor nodded, "What's your name, lad?" The colt looked up shyly, "A-Allen..." He said quietly.

"Well... ok. This town is a fairly safe place to be walking around alone. So, back to my first question. How did you get in here?"

Allen shrugged, "I don't know, I just kinda... knocked on the door and it just... kind of... opened." He said sheepishly. The Doctor nodded, raising an eyebrow. "Alright..." He said, concerned as he had to unlock the TARDIS door to get in. He nodded, smiling. "Well, how about we get you home!" He said, feeling as if he is helping in a normal way, contrary to how he usually has to defeat some kind of monster. The colt shook his head, "N-No, I-I'm fine. I-I'll just walk myself home, I don't wanna trouble you..." He said as he gathered the pieces of scrap metal. The Doctor raised his eyebrow, "What is that your building?" The Colt looked up, "Oh, just a butter machine, nothing-" The Doctor's eyes lit up, smiling wide, "Did you say a Butter Machine?!" He said as he hugged the colt tight, startling Allen a bit. "Y-Yes... you like butter?" He said, trembling a bit, but curious and coming out of his shell a little. The Doctor nodded quickly, "Like it? I LOVE it!" He said, releasing the colt, "How about a deal. You can stay here a little while longer, if you finish that butter maker and let me have some butter. I'll even help you, if you'd like!" The colt nodded, "Alright, deal. But it's ok, I don't need help." He said as he started on his machine once again. The Doctor tilted his head, "You sure? I'm good with technology..." Allen shook his head, "No, I'm sure. Thanks for the offer though." The pegasus said with a small smile.

"Alright. I'll be working on the TARDIS." He said, walking to the dashboard and starting to repair some of the damages to his ship, happy to have some company.

"All done!" Were the words the Doctor awoke to, along with a vigorous shaking. He opened his eyes, "What? Huh?" He said, Allen giggling. "You fell asleep. I finished it!" He said gleefully as he pointed to the finished butter maker, "You have milk, right?" He asked hopefully. The Doctor nodded, "I'll go get it!" As he trotted off to the kitchen, retrieving some milk and hurrying it to Allen. Allen took it, putting a plate under a small tube sticking out of the metal box that had a funnel on top and a red button on the side. He opened the milk carton and poured it into the funnel, "Do you want to press the button?" The Colt offered kindly. The Doctor shook his head, "No, you can do it if you want to." He said gracefully, as the colt nodded in a silent thanks, pressing the red button,  the machine pumping out golden, creamy butter. The two began gorging themselves, happily munching down on the treats, pouring in more and more milk. They were having a great time.

Then, somepony knocked on their door.
