Chapters "Don't fall prey to a Pegasus Device!"
Suddenly, a rope came down from above and wrapped around a brown, tattered looking filly and pulled her up and up. He followed her, and noticed a huge, rusty cauldron connected to a large machine. The rope was pulling her closer and closer to it.
Then, he heard a sickening CRACK and saw the ropes pull tighter around the filly, making her ribs splinter and poke out of her chest.
As she got closer to the cauldron, the rope loosened and dropped her in.
"No!" yelled the Doctor, but no sound came out of his dry throat.
He stood there, horrified, watching her helplessly drown in the lake of red liquid. That was it! The cauldron wasn't rusty, it was splattered in blood!
As the last of the filly's frizzy mane disappeared beneath the surface of the blood, the Doctor woke up.
He could still smell the wretched stench of gutted ponies and blood. Reluctantly, he opened his eyes and rubbed the gunk out of them. He focused and stared straight into the face of a gray mare.
"Augh!" he screamed, but then realized that it was just Derpy. "Derpy, you dolt!" he scolded.
"Hey!" she said, offended.
"Oh, sorry. Actually, I'm glad you woke me up. I had a terrible nightmare about rainbows. Now isn't that just absolutely ridiculous?" he said.
"Uh, yeah! Princess Luna must be going crazy... I had a nightmare too!" Derpy replied.
"Princess Lu- oh, yeah. I still don't understand the Equestrian society much," he told her.
"So, muffins for breakfast? Would you prefer blueberry muffins, coffee muffins or the pecan muffins? As you know, I can make you any kind of muffin like maybe pumpkin muffins or I can make you more blueberry muffins because I know you like those or maybe chocolate chip muffins? Do you want butter too, because I really don't recommend the butter with the chocolate chip muffins because I don't personally like the butter with the chocolate chip muffins but I like it with the blueberry muffins because the butter with the blueberry muffins is really good so do you want the blueberry muffins with the butter or not because I really think they're good so have you chosen yet?" Derpy asked, not showing any signs of need of breath.
"Derpy, slow down for a second and breathe!" yelled the Doctor. "And yes, I would like the butter with the blueberry muffins."
At breakfast, Derpy and the Doctor were calmly eating, the Doctor with blueberry muffins with butter and Derpy with the same. The Doctor was just about to swallow a mouthful of muffin when suddenly, Derpy asked "Doctor, what was your dream really about, like in detail?" There was an awkward silence, and then the Doctor started choking on his muffin and Derpy had to slap him on the back several times before he could talk.
"Um, Derpy, I'd rather not talk about it right now. Maybe later, okay?" said the Doctor.
"Okay."
After breakfast, Derpy said "Doctor? Do you want me to show you around Ponyville now?"
The Doctor answered, "Sure Derpy, where do you want to go first?"
She said "Well, I've wanted to show you Sugarcube Corner for a while, and I also wanted you to meet Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Spike!"
When she saw that the Doctor was thoroughly confused, she stated "They're all mares except for Spike."
The Doctor responded with something like an "Oh!"
"And Spike is a dragon, but he's a baby dragon, so he won't messily devour you and steal all your stuff."
"Okay, I guess I'd like to see Sugarcube Corner first," said the Doctor.
"Alrighty then, Doctor. Let's go!" said Derpy cheerfully.
As they arrived at the doorstep of Sugarcube Corner, the Doctor remarked, "It's very pink."
"Yes sir, it most certainly is!" replied Derpy, seeming to be more excited about the fact that the Doctor was following her for once, not her following him like it usually was. They walked up to the counter and Mrs. Cake asked cheerfully, "What can I getcha?"
The Doctor asked, "Do you have any scones?"
"Oh yes," she answered. "Um... Oh dear, where have you gotten to now? I'm always losing track of the scones." She was rummaging through several different drawers and cases. She came back and said, "I might be out up here. But, I've always got more downstairs. Want to come?"
Derpy asked, "Do you have any muffins left?"
Mrs. Cake said, "Why, of course! We have nearly every pastry in Equestria and we almost never run out! Of course-"
But she was cut off by Derpy, who after hearing that practically screamed, "Great!! Let's go!"
As soon as Mrs. Cake opened the door to the basement, Derpy was at the top step and then tripped and fell all the way down. There were several crashes of cases falling over and cupboards opening and dropping their contents. Finally, a large thump came from somewhere downstairs. After an awkward silence, the Doctor called down, "Derpy, are you alright?"
After a few moments, there was Derpy's normal voice, saying, "Yes Doctor, I'm okay!"
"Oh my, I hope so!" said Mrs. Cake, sounding doubtful.
"Well, fancy that!"
Once everypony was downstairs, the Doctor saw that Mrs. Cake was right: there was every kind of pastry the Doctor had ever seen. Croissants, cakes, donuts of every kind, pies, apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, danishes, etc. And muffins! Thousands of muffins of every kind you could think of! And Derpy was gobbling them up at lightning speed, about a dozen in each mouthful. "Derpy... um..." said the Doctor, glancing over at Mrs. Cake. "This is actually pretty normal for Miss Hooves," she said.
Derpy came back and said "Itf gude!" through a huge mouthful of pecan muffins.
The Doctor looked over her shoulder and asked, "Mrs. Cake? Where does that door go?" He was looking at a really old door with rusty hinges and a nearly broken door knob.
"Sure!" said Derpy enthusiastically.
So they started to walk towards the door.
