Sweet Apple Acres
Northwest Field
Time Unknown

"What is this?" Rory asked, pointing at and having just noticed there was a tattoo of a medical kit on his flank.

"Your cutie mark," I said as if it was obvious to humans.

"What?" he looked clueless.

"It represents your special talent, you were a nurse back on earth, correct? That is what it means. Your special talent is medicine," I stated.

"I've got a pirate sword," Amy said as she looked at her own mark.

"Must be from that time the TARDIS landed on that pirate ship and you used one, your special talent is probably swordsmanship" I guessed. They had told me about some of their adventures with my father they had whenever I would visit earth.

"And mine looks like a broken Dalek eye stalk," Rose said as she noticed hers.

"Talent for killing Daleks, you did take out the Dalek Emperor, so that must be what it means," that had always been my favorite of Rose's stories, mostly because the Daleks lost so much when their emperor was destroyed.

A few minutes later...

"Here we are, the northwestern field of Sweet Apple Acres, looks odd without the craters," I said, having been to this field in my timeline. "Now, where are the Daleks," I was sure that they should have been here now.

"Hello strangers, y'all lookin' fer something?" a voice that I had heard just before I left my timeline said.

"Actually, yes. What time is it?" I wanted to be sure that we had arrived at the correct time the Daleks did.

"Bout seven forty-six in the mornin', why?" She asked, her face looking suspicious of us.

"No reason," we were sixteen minutes later than the Daleks. She left do go do her chores for the day and we made our way back to my TARDIS, where I took a look at the monitor for the date. "The TARDIS landed us six months before the Daleks even arrived!" I exclaimed as they entered behind me.

About half an hour later

"What now?" Rory asked.

We had all been siting in the TARDIS console room thinking the same question.

"I guess we better try to live like normal ponies so we don't draw attention to ourselves," Rose suggested.

"Already on it," I had a plan just in case this happened, which I explained to them.

"Alright, lets go act like normal ponies," Amy said, with a little too much enthusiasm.

My plan was to purchase a house in Ponyville for Amy and Rory, as well as one for Rose, and one for me. I had gotten enough bits before I left my timeline to buy the houses, as well as having enough left over to give to them for basic needs.

One hour later

We walked down one of the roads that wasn't too close to the edge of town, but not right in the center. I had been lucky enough to get the three houses on the same street, seemed that there were quite a few empty homes in Ponyville.

They went to their homes as I continued to walk to mine, as soon as I had bought it I had sent the TARDIS to the basement to keep somepony from noticing it. I walked through the doors and was bombarded with one word from a lot of different ponies.

"Surprise!" at least twenty ponies yelled. But that wasn't what got my attention. A mare with a mint green coat and mane was what my brain stopped working on.

Back in my timeline, just after the Daleks had appeared, there was a test to see if the Doctors regeneration energy could be used to change normal ponies into Timelords. A mare named Lyra Heartstrings volunteered. It didn't work, she did not become a Timelord, but it did stop her from aging. She would never physically age, and ponies suspected that she would be immortal, or close to it. After I had learned that I was a Timelord I had traveled through out the universe making a name for myself among the Daleks and Cyberponies. I returned to the day I had left, but for me it had been years. I was gone for eighty years my time, but only a few minutes there. After a while I finally met Lyra, who quickly became one of my few friends. She was really interested in humans, and asked me if I could take her to the human world sometime. I eventually said that I would take her to earth, but I never did. She died in the Battle of Manehatten, one of the biggest battles fought at that point in the war. She died just after the Daleks technically lost the battle..

The TARDIS landed this far before the Daleks arrival for some reason, and I had a feeling that Lyra was going to play some part in that reason, but what could it be?

Author's Note

Tell me what you think of the idea for the experiment to make "half Timelords" I'll call them. And, does anyone see the reference I made in this Chapter? It's easy to spot.

Sorry it took so long, I just think these chapters up as I write them. Still needing cover art, check my one blog post for the details.

Feedback excepted.
