Chapter 1: Invitations

Princess Celestia had just woken up and raised the sun. She was going to tell her sister "good night", no not good night, she thought, Luna prefers good light she reminded herself. Celestia made her way down the hall and heard a weird wheezng gasping sort of sound.

"Doctor you are her!" Celestia heard Luna exclaim from around the corner.

Celestia rushed to see an balding elderly white earth pony stallion in formal attire holding a scroll, "Doctor! How have you been?" Celestia asked pleased to see her friend again.

"Now now, my dear. You know I haven't met you yet." He said shaking he head, "ask me at the conformance and you'll get a better answer then I can give you."

"Is it time already?" Celestia asked him.

"Of course, now seeing how this isn't your second castle I'm going to need you two to pick a location for the one that is about to happen." He said pulling out a quill and ink well from his pocket and preparing to write on the scroll.

"Why not here, we can have it in the throne room." Luna suggested.

"Very well" he said writing on the scroll. "Okey I'll make copies and personalize them for delivery, I just have one question..." He trailed off giving the two of them a slightly confused glance.

"Yes?" Celestia prompted.

"Well the T.A.R.D.I.S. detected four Alicorn's this time and considering that your grandfather outlawed ascension..." He trailed off again allowing his words to set his implication.

"Our grandfather was afraid of the concept and we are not" Celestia said confidently.

"Very well." The Doctor said, "never really liked the idea of executing the ascended after all, I'm sure I'll have many heated debates with your grandfather about it later, or well I guess I've already have."

"When is the conformance exactly?" Luna asked him.

"It's secluded for three weeks from now just after all hollows eve." He explained to them both.

"It's called Nightmare Night now." Luna corrected him. And Celestia secretly was elated that her sister had defended the Halliday.

"That's good to know...for future reference of course." He said entering the T.A.R.D.I.S., he came out shortly and headed them two scrolls identical to the one he had just written of. The sisters opened them up and read.

Dear Princess Celestia/Luna

You are cordially invited to the twenty-seventh millenniual immortality conference. As per the usual you are aloud a plus one, the dress is standard, and it is to take place in the third castle of the royal pony sisters the day after all hollows eve. Nightmare night

Celestia looked up at him, "Do you ever change these things?" She asked.

"Well I got them in bulk from your great grandfather and I can't stand to waste them." He explained, "well I best be off to deliver the rest of them." He said stepping back into his T.A.R.D.I.S.

As it faded away the sisters looked at each other. "We've got three weeks for the conference..." She trailed off no sure what to say next.

"The I have plenty of time to sleep" Luna said with a smile. "Good day Tia" she said as she headed for her room.

"Good light Luna" Celestia replied as she walked towards her room.

Discord was perched in his thinking tree in deep thought, but he was interrupted by an all to familiar sound. He snapped his talons and he appeared I front of the blue box. He prepared a cotton candy cloud just for the stallion that was about to come out.

The door opened and he knocked on the cloud as the stallion stepped out, but to his disappointment the grey stallion had an umbrella ready. "Your mother was much more discrete then you." He said to Discord.

"Ruin my fun, why don't you." He pouted.

The Doctor held out a scroll to Discord, "as per the original agreement between the forces of Harmony and Chaos, here' stour invitation." He said as he quickly stepped into his machine and faded away.

Princess Cadence had been up for a while now and was listening to the various complaints and disputed of the line of crystal ponies. She heard a gasping wheezing sound and not long after an elderly grey stallion walked into the room. He walked past the line right up to her. Several ponies looked at him as he walked.

"Ah good your not busy," he said ignoring the ponies, suddenly out of nowhere several crystal guards grabbed him.

"Sir your going to have to wait your turn if you want to speak to the princess" the orange one barked into his ear.

"Unhand me!" He shouted, "I will not be roughed up by the hired help! In fact I have an important message for your princess and I must deliver it as soon as possible, relatively speaking."

"What is this message?" The orange one asked looking at him suspiciously.

The Doctor fished into his jacket and pulled out a scroll, "here it is, now if you don't mind I'm to deliver it to her personally." He walked past them and lifted the scroll to her.

"What's this about" Cadence asked.

"Oh just an important event coming up that I do t want you to miss." He said as she lifted the scroll out of his hoof. "Now I best be on my way he said walking out and disappearing behind tap corner. She heard the gasping wheezing sound again and was left ther utterly perplexed.

Twilight was walking around her new castle with her friends trying to learn the layout when the heard a gasping wheezing sound echo through the halls. Then some pony called out, "Hello is there a Princess Twilight Sparkle here?"

She called back, "we're here" as she wondered about the pony.

She saw a grey elderly pony turn a bend and smile at her, "good, I have an message for you" he said reaching into his coat and pulling out a scroll. He handed it to her. Then he looked at Spike, "Well if I had know you were here I would have brought you an invitation." He said and started to walk to where he came from.

"Why does he need an invitation?" Apple Jack asked following him.

"Oh I can't tell you that if you don't know, I'm not aloud to revile lost history unless I am." He said still walking.

"But that doesn't make any sense" Rainbow Dash said as he walked up to a blue box.

"hay Doctor Whooves has one of those!" Pinkie blurted out.

"No! He said abruptly, I'm not supposed to know. Now wait here and I'll be back." He said, and they did.

After a few moments he emerged with another scroll and handed it to Spike, don't burn it now I won't be able to give you another one like last time." He cautioned. And stepped back inside and the box faded away.

"Well who the hay was he?" Rainbow Dash asked.
