The life of a time lord

"Hi" whispered Derpy, as she kept waiving at me for what felt like the entire class period.

"Hi, Derpy" I finally said.

My mind was racing. How in the hell was she, of all people in the entire school, was sitting right next to me.

"What are you doing here?!" I asked trying to act surprised sounding a little more scared than surprised.

"I guess we have the same class together,” she said

"Hopefully the only one" I muttered.

"What was that?" She asked

"Hopefully it's not the only one,” I said with a fake smile.

"Me too, wait, let me see your schedule." She said.

I gave her my schedule. It didn't consist of much.

Per 1: Algebra 1
Per 2: Home Economics
Per 3: Language
Per 4: Study Hall/PE
Lunch
Per 5: Science
Per 6: World History
Per 7: Band (For some reason unknown reason I chose this class)
Per 8: Intro to Tech

I had a feeling that we didn’t have any classes together.

“Omg we have all of the same classes together!!” she yelled, earning a lot of stares from the other students, even waking up the rainbow haired girl.

“Yay” is all I could say out of the shock that I had from what I just heard.

“Looks like it’s going to be a long year” I said under my breath.

Later right before lunch…

The last two periods went by as a blur. Because all I cold think about was that I was going to spend the rest of my school years with Derpy.

I needed to find a way out of this. I could go and ask to rearrange my schedule, but I think it was a little too late for that. I could regenerate than no one would recognize me, but I think that it would be a little suspicious that a few days after starting school the new kid just suddenly disappears, and a new student comes here.

“Well I’m out of ideas!” I said not realizing that I said that out loud. At leased we were in the halls heading to the cafeteria

“What do you mean?” said Derpy, who had stayed no more that three feet away from me all day.

“I uh,” I started, “I don’t know where to sit at lunch.”

I hoped that she would buy it.

“Oh it’s fine you can sit with me and my friends, I’m sure that they will like you as much as I like you.” She said.

Perfect they won’t leave me alone either.

We walked into the lunchroom.

“They are over there,” she said pointing to a group of 8 girls.

I recognized one of them, the rainbow-haired girl that was asleep for almost the entire algebra class.

“Hi girls.” said Derpy as we approached them.
“Hello, Derpy ” said a yellow girl with hair like fire, all red and yellow. She was dressed like a punk rock girl, black leather jacket, and blue jeans.

“Y’all seem mighty happy today Derpy” said an orange-colored girl with a southern accent; I noticed she had a cowboy hat on her head. Her entire person yelled farm/cow girl.

“Well I made this amazing new friend today,” She said gesturing to me. “His name is Austin, he’s new here.”

“Hello, Austin.” They all said in unison, except this cream colored girl who was hiding herself in her own pink hair, peaking out from behind it once or twice, only to hide herself back her hair.

“Austin, this is Applejack,” Derpy started gesturing to the farm girl.

“This is Rainbow Dash,” gesturing to the rainbow haired cyan blue girl.

“That is Fluttershy,” pointing to the girl cowering behind her hair. She looked at me, then a split second later she went back to cowering, and I think I may have heard a tiny little squeak.

“This is Rarity,” she pointed to a white girl that had purple hair, I had a small hunch by the way she looked that she was all about fashion.

“This is Sunset Shimmer,” she pointed to the punk rock girl.

“And they are Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, And Scootaloo,” pointing to three little girls who where probably still in middle school.

“What is your beauty mark?” asked Sweetie Belle.

“What?” I replied.

“You know your special talent,” said Scootaloo.

“Well what do you think it is?” I said.

“Muffins” said Applebloom.

“What are you talking about, ohhhh, no not this.” I said covering the muffin on my jacket up.

“It’s this.” I said reaching down into the inside of my jacket. I pulled out a necklace that had a flat hourglass on it.

“This means that I am really good at telling time.” I said.

“Prove it,” started Scootaloo, “The only clock in the lunch room is ”, what time is it?”

“12:00” I said

They all looked at their phones.

“He’s right,” said Rarity. They all held out their phones showing the time to be noon.

“Now watch this,” I said. I held up my hand, which I had three of my fingers up. “3… 2… 1… and 12:01.”

They all looked wide-eyed, for their phones showed 12:01 at the exact moment I said it.

“Now I’m impressed,” said Scootaloo.

“Wow you’re like some lord of time, a Time Lord,” said Sweetie Belle.

“Ha, Ha, Ha, ya right.” I said trying not to look sick to my stomach.

“Is there something wrong?” asked Derpy, putting a hand on my shoulder making me flinch.

“No,” I started, “I’m fine, I don’t like being touched.” I lied, taking her hand off of my shoulder.

“Oh, darling, I hope your not getting sick on your first day” said Rarity.
“Well don’t be getting sick around me, Time Lord.” Said Sunset Shimmer.

Feeling even sicker to my stomach, I said, “I’m not getting sick, and can you guys please not call me that.”

“Well than what do you want us to call you?” asked Rainbow Dash

I thought for a moment, then I got an idea, I liked helping people when I was back on Gallifrey.

“Call me, The Helper, when I was back in my old plan-, I mean town, I always liked to help people. What do you think?” I said, admiring my own nickname.

They stared at me. I was starting to think that was a no on the name.

“No, I don’t think that that would be a good idea,” said Scootaloo, “How about, Doctor Austin. Doctors help people too.”

“I like it,” said Derpy.

“So do we,” said Fluttershy, who had stopped hiding behind her hair.

“How about just Doctor?” I asked, thinking that it sounded better.

“The Doctor,” started Derpy, “it has a nice ring to it.”

“Than it’s settled,” I started, “Call me, The Doctor.”

Later at band

“Well Mr. Austin, welcome to our school.” Said my band instructor, Mr. Cooper.

“As a little thing that we do to new students here, we have them show us what they can do with an instrument. Just to get them more comfortable here.”

Derpy looked at me. “It’s ok, everyone had to do it once.”

“Am I aloud to sing, or have people help me, by any chance?” I asked.

“Oh that is perfectly fine.” He said.

“Now let’s see now, oh, ok I need a guitarist, pianist, drummer, and someone who can play base, and another guitar that I can play, all electric by the way.” I said seeing Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and that Pinkie Pie girl (who I think just appeared out of no where) raise their hands.

“This is a little weird,” I thought to myself. “I never really liked singing all that much, but my past life liked playing the cello. I hope I know what I’m doing.”

“Ok girls, here,” handing them paper that had their parts on them.

“Oh ya, I need one more thing, uhhhhhh, Derpy I have a little something for you,” As much as a hated to admit it, I actually need her help handing her more paper. “Here.”

She seemed a too excited about it.

“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,” she said, giving me a small hug, is it just me or did I hear a few aw’s.

Tensing up as much as possible, I said, “Still don’t like being touched.”

“Oh sorry.” She said Derpy, blushing. I think she likes me. I don’t think that this will be a very good thing. Forget that I have more important things to worry about.

“Ok,” I started, “Here goes nothing.”

Fall Out Boy - Save Rock And Roll
[Derpy:]
Until your breathing stops (stops stops)
Until your breathing stops (stops stops)
Until your (your, your, your, your)
Forever, forever
[Me in normal voice:]
I need more dreams
And less life
I need that dark
In a little more light
I cried tears you'll never see
So fuck you, you can go cry me an ocean
And leave me be

You are what you love
Not who loves you
In a world full of the word 'Yes'
I'm here to scream

No, no
Wherever I go, go
Trouble seems to follow
I only plugged in to save rock and roll
Rock and roll, no
Wherever I go, go
Trouble seems to follow
I only plugged in to save rock and roll

[Derpy again:]
Until your breathing stops (stops stops)
Until your breathing stops (stops stops)
Until your (your, your, your, your)
Forever, forever

[Me with a deeper voice:]
Blood brothers in desperation
An oath of silence for the voice of our generation

[Normal voice:]
Whoa, how'd it get to be only me?
Like I'm the last damn kid still kicking
That still believes

[Me with normal and deeper voices mixed:]
I will defend the faith
Going down swinging
I will save the songs
That we can't stop singing

No, no
Wherever I go, go
Trouble seems to follow
I only plugged in to save rock and roll
Rock and roll, no
Wherever I go, go
Trouble seems to follow
I only plugged in to save rock and roll

(Forever, forever)

Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh
Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh
Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh
Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

(Until your breathing stops, stops, stops)
(Until your breathing stops, stops, stops)
(Until your, your, your, your, your)
(Forever, forever)

[Deeper voice:]
You are what you love
Not who loves you
In a world full of the word 'Yes'
I'm here to scream

No, no
Wherever I go, go
Trouble seems to follow
I only plugged in to save rock and roll
Rock and roll, no
Wherever I go, go
Trouble seems to follow
Only plugged in to save rock and roll

[The girls singing along with me]
Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh
Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh
Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh
Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh
Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh
Oh no, we won't go
'Cause we don't know when to quit, oh oh

[Deeper voice:]
No, no
Wherever I go, go
Trouble seems to follow
I only plugged in to save rock and roll
No, no
Wherever I go, go
Trouble seems to follow
I only plugged in to save rock and roll

You ever feel like you just did something stupid in front of a lot of people? Well that is what I felt having everyone stare at me, and I have one question that I expect to have answered. Why was everyone clapping and cheering.

“That was amazing!” Mr. Cooper said. “I’ve never heard anyone sing like that in my life! How were you able to make your voice get higher and lower than higher than lower?”

“I’m not entirely sure myself,” I said not knowing the answer.

“Can we please hear another?” said Sunset Shimmer. “Oh, oh, and can I be help with it too, please!?”

“Well, I guess,” I answered after a little bit of thinking. “Ok let’s see now, Rarity and Derpy, don’t need either of you anymore, even though that was pretty good piano playing from you and singing from both of you. And here Sunset Shimmer.” Giving her some paper with lyrics on it.

“I get to sing too!” She said in a shock.

“Do you not want too?” I asked chuckling.

“No, no I do want to sing, so lets get started.” She replied

“Ok then, here goes nothing, again.”

Fall Out Boy – Rat A Tat

[Sunset Shimmer]
It's Courtney, bitch

[Me]
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey

[Sunset Shimmer]
No thesis existed for burning cities down at such a rampant rate
No graphics and no fucking Powerpoint presentation
So they just DIY'd that shit and they built their own bombs
She's his suicide blond, she's number than gold

[Me]
Are you ready for another bad poem?
One more off key anthem
And let your teeth sink in
Remember me as I was not as I am
And I said, "I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead,"
I kept wishing she had blonde ambition and she'd let it go to my head

Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my love is a weapon
There's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my heart is a grenade
You pull the pin and say,

We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the high hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get, get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
'Cause it's never
Getting any better than this

[Sunset Shimmer]
We are professional ashes of roses
This kerosene's live
You settled the score
This is where you come to beg, unborn and unshaven
Killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens
This is what we do, baby, we nightmare you

[Me]
I'm about to make you sweat roll backwards
And your heart beat in reverse
Our guts can't be reworked
As alone as a little white church
In the middle of the desert getting burned
But I'll take your heart served up two ways
I sing a bitter song
I'm the lonelier version of you
I just don't know where it went wrong

Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my love is a weapon
There's no second guessing when I say
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
If my heart is a grenade
You pull the pin and say,

We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the high hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get, get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
Cause it's never
Getting any better than this

Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
It's never
Getting any better than this Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
It's never
Getting any better than this
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
It's never
Getting any better than this
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
It's never
Getting any better than this

[Sunset Shimmer]
She's sick and she's wrong
She's young dirty blonde
Planted to sink inside her like a suicide bomb
He says, "I've seen bigger."
She says, "I've lived better."
And they throw the matches down into the glitter
Not a dry eye left in the house
Go boy, go boy, run for your life
Go boy, go boy, run for your life
Go boy, go boy, run for your life

We're all fighting growing old
We're all fighting growing old
In the hopes
Of a few minutes more
To get, get on St. Peter's list
But you need to lower your standards
Cause it's never
Getting any better than this

[Me]
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
It's never
Getting any better than this
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
It's never
Getting any better than this
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
It's never
Getting any better than this
Rat a tat tat
Rat a tat tat tat hey
It's never
Getting any better than this

Are you ready for another bad poem?

“I think I’m going to like it here” I thought to myself with a smile on my face.
