"Gallifrey…that sounds familiar for some reason." Turner thought aloud.

"What sounds familiar?" Derpy asked having entered midway through his Turners sentience.

"Oh nothing" Turner said slipping the piece of paper in a drawer.

"Food's done", he said pulling something out of the stove.

"Good I'm famished!" Sparkler shouted from the living room as she rolled her dice.

"Yay!" Dinky said excited and then she looked at what Sparkler had rolled and just frowned.

Sparkler moved her peace around the board and won; they both got up and walked to Turners dinner table. They all sat down and started eating the new dish. "This is amazing, what do you call it?" Sparkler asked.

"It's called spaghetti in tomato sauce, with garlic toast on the side, and I threw just a little butter in it as well.” Turner said looking proud.

“Thank you Turner” Dinky said having finished her meager helping. She went for seconds.

“So Turner…”Derpy started “You have any plans for next Thursday?”

“No. What are you planning?” he asked suddenly suspicious.

“Well next Thursday is the three year anniversary of you moving to Ponyville, I thought you might have had something planed, that’s all.”

“That didn’t really answer the question” Turner pointed out.

“So mom told me that you had found a game that I may like” Sparkler interrupted the conversation, not wanting Turner to grow suspicious of the plan to throw him a little party.

“Oh! Yes I found it in a little shop on my last visit to the Crystal Empire; they really need a good watch smith there. But anywise I found an old game called Monopoly.”

“What’s this game about?” Sparkler asked.

“Well the goal of the game is to buy up or out all of the other players land. I read the instruction manual and it seemed like something you would like.”

“Well let’s finish Dinner and you can show us the game.” Derpy said.

Dinky came back in from the kitchen with a fresh helping and sat back down “What'd I miss” she asked stirring her plate.

“We were just talking about the new game Turner found.”

Dinner lasted about a half an hour or so. During which both Turner and Derpy were more than a little distracted. Turner looking at the mantel to his fireplace every few minutes, while Derpy started off into space thinking of the little party she had planned for him.

Once everypony had finished eating Turner went into the kitchen to clean up and left the girls to set up the board.

Son of Gallifrey he thought, That sounds awfully familiar. Turner opened the drawer that he had slipped the paper into and read it again. Why can I read this language, I’ve never seen it in my life he was thoroughly confused.

This message couldn’t be for me. No, there must be others that can read this language He slipped the paper back into the drawer and went into his living room. But he stopped dead when he remembered that he had a broken watch on the mantel of his fireplace. He walked over to it and picked it up turning it in his hooves. The one I can’t fix. the words ran through his mind.

“Come on Turner we’re just about to start!” Sparkler called to him.

“I’m coming!” he called back.

They started playing, all the while making jokes and telling stories, but it all ended when Dinky pointed out the fob watch that Turner had been holding on to. “What’s that” Dinky asked pointing to the watch.

“Just a broken old fob watch.” Turner replied rolling the dice and moving his piece.

“Why don’t you fix it?” Dinky asked cocking her head.

“Oh it’s broken beyond repair.” Turner answered.

“Come on you can fix anything Turner” Sparkler interjected.

“Yes…anything but this” Turner said pointing to the watch.

“Can I see it?” Dinky asked pointing to it again.

“Well I suppose you can’t break it any more than it already is.” Turner said handing it to her.

“Thanks” Dinky said as she turned it over in her hooves. The Dinky opened it, a flash of a golden light shot from it into Turner and he stumbled nearly falling.

“Turner!!” Derpy yelled as she caught him “I got you.”

He had a crazed look in his eyes “Actually if you don’t mind, it’s just The Doctor.” he said before falling over another way.

The Doctor opened his eyes and saw a very familiar room. He also saw a young unicorn filly looking at him. The filly turned her head and shouted at the open door “Mom! Turner’s awake!”

This hurt his ears and he realized that his entire body ached. He looked back at the door and saw a pinkish unicorn walk in with levitating a tray with a bowl of piping hot soup on it. “Oh good we thought that watch had hurt you. Do you want some soup?” she asked him.

“Would you mind if I could have some tea” The Doctor asked.

Sparkler smiled and showed him a cup on the trey, “I brewed it with your favorite flavor.”

He took the tea in his hooves and instantly dropped it. His eyes went wide as he looked at where his hands should be. “How is this possible!? I should have reverted back to my original form! Well not my original form, but the form I had after my last regeneration.”

Dinky cocked her head and asked “Original form? Regeneration?”

Derpy entered the room “Turner, you still need some rest.” She said seeing the spilled cup of tea on the floor. “ Come on girls let’s let him rest.” she said shooing them out of the room. “Turner if you need anything just haler, we’ll be in the living room.” she said smiling, and she closed the door.

“Actually may I have some tea? Seeing how I spilt mine”

“Of course I’ll go get you some tea.” she said smiling she left.

“I’ve done it again, I knew I should have just ran.” he said to himself aloud.

The Doctor rolled out of bed and found it easy to walk, How long was I a run of the mill pony? he asked himself. Then the answer came to him in a flash almost three years.

He opened the door and walked down the short hallway and at the end he bumped into Derpy causing his tea to spill everywhere. “Oh I’m so sorry Turner” she said. Then she took a double take, “Why are you out of bed?” she asked with concern.

The Doctor just gave a small laugh “Oh don’t worry about me Ms. uh… Hooves.” he said getting up and walking past her.

“Turner, where are you going?” she asked.

“To get the T.A.R.D.I.S.” he said still having a bit of a chuckle.

“What’s a tirdas” Dinky asked him looking up from her the game she was playing with Sparkler.

“That’s T.A.R.D.I.S. and it stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space.”

“You didn’t really answer the question” Sparkler pointed out, He’s getting pay back isn’t he.

“It’s my space ship, time machine, and home.” he said walking to an empty wall.

“The perception filter must have worked pretty well” he thought aloud. Then amazingly he opened a door that appeared in the wall. He walked into the room behind it and produced a key, he put it into a keyhole in a giant blue box. "Derpy, Dinky, and Sparkler, you lot want to go for a ride?!" he called the question through the open door.

"Ride in a box? Turner, how hard did you hit your head when you fell" Sparkler asked.

"I told you that you should call me The Doctor!" he hollered through the doorway. "Do you want to go or not?"

"I do!" Dinky yelled and ran into the room.

Sparkler walked in after her, and Derpy was standing in the doorway. The Doctor started "Right, now let's just get her open." he said turning the key and pushing the door open Sparkler and Dinky walked in and were in ah. "Derpy it's your turn." the Doctor said holding out a hoof to guide her in.

"It's..."

"Yes" the doctor said smiling.

It's..."

"Yes" the doctor couldn't hold his anticipation.

"It's smaller on the outside" she said in ah.

The Doctor just started laughing, "Well that's one way to put it Ms.Hooves".

"Well where do you all want to go?" The Doctor asked.

"How about the beach?" Sparkler asked.

"Which one and when?"

"Just a nice beach, but we need to pack for it, hold on."

"There's a wardrobe in here somewhere so…Allons-y" he shouted as he hit an assortment of seemingly random buttons on the central console. There was an odd sound like the Tardis was mechanically breathing heavy as the room started shaking.

"Right we should be on a beach, if I got it right, you'll forgive me if I miscalculated it has been three years since I last used her. Go ahead and open the door." he said pointing at the door.

Sparkler opened the door and she looked outside, "We're in Canterlot" she announced.

"What, how is that...I…I may be a little out of practice but I can't have gotten that far off course. Unless..." he looked at the Tardis console "Why did you bring us here?"

"Honey will you get the nice wine from the cellar?" a unicorn mare asked from the kitchen.

"Sure dear." the grey blue pegasus stallion was just about to go down the stairs to the cellar when he heard the oddest sound. He immediately went pale It's about time he got here.

"Honey did you hear that sound?!” he shouted from the top of the staircase to the cellar.

"Ya!! You’re going to check it out aren't you?!" She shouted back.

"Well you know how I feel about weird sounds!" he called back with a slight laugh, then he walked out the door.

He followed the sound from the air and landed on a building above the Tardis. He looked over the edge and saw The Doctor getting out of it. He jumped into the dark alley that was on the side of the building and transformed into his preferred form. He cracked his elongated neck, straightened his now scorpion like tail, and reset his second jaw. He was a little cramped in the thin alleyway and his large insect like body didn't agree with it.

"Doctor!!" he said in his distorted voice as The Doctor passed by the alley.

"Who's there?" The Doctor asked looking into the alley.

"No, you wouldn't recognize me would you?" the monster stepped out of the shadows revealing himself in all his wicked glory.

Author's Note

I'm not one to break a good thing, so go ahead and try to guess who our new pegasus/monster friend is. Here's a hint, his name loosely translates in Hebrew to "God has helped". I don't expect that to be much help.
