Doctor Whooves Episode 1: Disharmony and Blue Boxes

Chapter 4

A Disgusted Foe

      The white unicorn sat, disgusted at the sight he saw. Discord, the bringer of chaos, was crying. Staring into the magical aura he used as an almost crystal ball, he called for his assistant. "Snorf! Come here immediately!" the unicorn called in his snooty voice.

      A pegasus as white as snow came flying into the room. "What is it, master?" he had a high pitched voice with a military-like sound to it.

      The unicorn was writing on a piece of paper that had a fancy design on the edges. "Take this letter to Ponyville." the unicorn said, sneering. He thrust the letter into Snorf's hands and continued to watch his aura.

      Snorf flew off toward Ponyville before stopping to see the directions mapped in his head. He was to take the letter to Sweet Apple Acres, go to the corn field, and drop the letter off in front of the door. He telepathically called his master. Master, why here? he asked. Just do your job, Snorf! the unicorn replied, shouting. Snorf was startled by this outburst of his master. He never thought he would get yelled at by his master. Even though this shocked him, he flew on.

      6 HOURS LATER... The trip took longer than Snorf had anticipated. On his way, he spotted Discord sitting atop a tree. He knew his master's plans. They were to get Discord on their side. He decided to have a peek at what Discord was doing. Looking down to the tree, he saw Discord throwing an apple back and forth between his claw and paw, looking quite sad. Snorf decided to discard it.

      Slowly descending upon his target, he reached it and communicated to his master that he had reached it. His master replied with a thank you. Snorf carefully dropped the letter at the door of a blue box, and flew off into the sky once more.

      6 HOURS LATER... Twilight awoke with a massive headache and blurred vision somewhere she didn't recognize. As she slowly regained foggy and vague memories, she grew more angry at herself. She had gotten drunk at The Doctor's welcome party last night and as she regained her senses, she noticed the lights on the wall as the TARDIS lights and thought she had slept in The Doctor's bed. She quickly jumped up and looked around, checking for The Doctor. When she did not find him, she was relieved.

      The Doctor heard the now familiar sound of hooves clunking on metal and looked up from the control panel to see Twilight standing on the balcony overlooking the control room, hungover. As she came down the stairs towards the control room, she nearly fell over and The Doctor quickly came to her aid, holding her up with his back. "Be careful there." he said quietly, knowing that when you were hungover you had a headache. He slowly dragged her on his back to the doors, carefully opening them with his teeth, making sure not to let Twilight fall off.

      After opening the door, they both heard a scuff of paper against grass. "Go investigate tha..." Twilight said drearily.

      The Doctor stretched his head around the door and saw a neatly rolled up paper. Picking it up, he read it. His smile dropped into a scowl as he read it. It read:

Dear Discord,

I am a unicorn who wishes to stay anonymous until directly contacted by you. I am here to ask you something. Would you like to be in acquaintanceship with me? Your probably asking yourself why you can trust me. Trust me, I am more trustworthy than anypony you have ever met. Anypony. If you pass up on this offer, send a letter to the ally way behind the Carousel Boutique Ponyville, Equestria. If you accept, come to the same place.

Thank you,

Anonymous

       The Doctor galloped to the farmhouse, anger contorted on his face. When there, he burst open the door, revealing a room cluttered with the mess of a party. Calling out, he asked for Applejack. "Applejack, Applejack, are you home?"

      Applejack woke with a massive headache to a loud crashing noise and then somepony calling her name. It sounded like The Doctor to her. She drowsily got out of bed and grabbed her hat from the nightstand, slowly putting it on.

      "Applejack! Applejack!' shouted The Doctor.

      "I'm comin'! I'm comin'!" she shouted back, afraid he would wake everypony in the house.

      "Come quick!" shouted The Doctor. "There's a letter for Discord!" he shouted. That made Applejack break into a full gallop.

      She ran into The Doctor and shouted "Where! Where!" right in his face.

      "Right here!" he said, putting the letter in her face.

      As Applejack read, her face contorted into anger. "I can't believe it! I just can't believe it! Someone just taking advantage of Discord like that!' she said, shouting.

      THE NEXT NIGHT... Discord suddenly found himself behind the Carousel Boutique. He had no idea how he got there.
