Magic is Friendship?- Part 1

It was a bright day in Ponyville, excitement in the air, as the Summer Sun Celebration was to begin soon. Twilight Sparkle had just arrived, and would eventually defeat Nightmare Moon and all that, overcoming all odds! But that's not the story being told here. This is the story of a derp-eyed mail pony, a timey-wimey traveler, a DJ of epic proportions, and a few others, who helped save the world just as much as Twilight had.

But first, we take our sights to a blue box floating above Equestria, with a pony inside by the name of 'Time Turner', or 'Doctor Whooves'.

"NO! Not... good... at... ALL!" Something exploded inside the box, seemingly bigger on the inside. "What was it again that was happening?" He said, running around a console of sorts. "I'm... I'm... I'M... CRASHING!" He exclaimed, the box hurtling towards the planet.

Meanwhile, in a muffin bakery, we meet our second hero, Derpy, or Ditzy Doo.

"I'll take a dozen blueberry muffins, please!" She said to the owner of the bakery.

"Here you go, miss Doo! Y'know, there's a party at Twilight Sparkle's house tonight. You should go!"

"I just might! Thanks, mister!" She said setting off for her house.

Derpy entered her house and set down her groceries. She had a muffin, got her mail bag, and prepared to go deliver some mail, when all of a sudden-

CRASH!

"Eeek! What was that!?" Derpy ran towards the blue box embedded in her wall. As she looked at it, the doors opened, and Time Turner stumbled out. "Who are you?" She asked, looking at the strange pony.

"Do you know... What year it is?" He asked, radiating a strange golden-y energy.

"Uh, it's 2010. Are you okay? You sorta crashed into my wall." She said.

"B.C., or A.D.?" He asked, dusting himself off, and getting up.

"What's a B.C.?" Asked Derpy, looking quite confused.

"Never mind. Can you tell me where this place is, by any chance?"

"Well, this is Ponyville! Where did you and that box come from? It doesn't look like anything here at all!"

"It's a... Um... Thing. What's your name, by the way?"

"Ditzy Doo's my name, but my friends call me Derpy. It's because of my eyes, see!" She pointed to her derped eyes.

"Oh, I hadn't even noticed those! Well, could you introduce me to the ponies around here? I've never really been here before."

"You should come with me to the party at Twilight Sparkle's house! All my friends will probably be there!"

"I just might! I'll see you then, I guess!" He said, walking back into the box.

"What do you mea- Woah..." She was cut off by the box, as it disappeared with a whooshing sound and a breeze. "See you... then?" She said, going off to deliver mail.

Author's Note

Sorry if the chapters seem a little short. I just prefer to get a section done and published faster. That way, you, the reader, will get new chapters sooner. However, the plot might advance a bit slower. I plan on revising these chapters once I'm done, along with making an audio series, like Doctor Whooves and the Assistant.

Magic is Friendship?- Part 2

Later that day, at Twilight's house...

"I wonder what happened to that pony from earlier..." Said Derpy, walking to the house.

"Hello, Derpy!" Time Turner had popped out of nowhere.

"Wha- What?" She stared at him.

"Can't wait to meet your friends!"

"But you were- and the box- and you disappeared- and- and-" She was stammering.

"I'll explain later, okay?"

"O-okay... C'mon then! I'll show you my friends!" Derpy ran inside.

"Cool!" Time Turner followed her.

Derpy started to walk over to a group of ponies that seemed to be her friends.

"Hey everypony! Meet this new pony!" Derpy said, pointing to Turner.

"Hello, everypony!" Said Turner.

"Hello, what's your name?" Asked a grey pony with a treble clef cutie mark. "Mine's Octavia."

"My name is Dr. Whooves, but everypony calls me Time Turner." He said.

"That's a cool name! Mine's Vinyl, Vinyl Scratch." Said a unicorn wearing a pair of purple glasses.

"I'm Lyra Heartstrings." Said a light-blue unicorn.

"Hi! My name is Bon Bon!" Said a colorful pony.

"It's very nice to meet you all!" Said Time Turner.

"Well then, we should go off to the Summer Sun Celebration, it's gonna begin soon!" Said Derpy, running towards the Town Hall.

"Let's go!" Everypony else followed after her.

They entered the town hall, and found a spot in the crowd, and watched as the celebration began. Excited they watched on as out came Princess Celest-

"Uhhh... Something tells me this isn't right..." Said Turner, looking at a mare known as Nightmare Moon.

"It-it's Nightmare Moon!" Said a purple unicorn.

"Who's Nightmare Moon?" Asked Turner, looking at Vinyl.

"Some old pony's tale. She's been on the moon for 1000 years ago or something." She said.

"Hmm..." He said, thinking for a moment. His eyes widened. "DERPY! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!" He shouted running out the door.

"I noticed..." She said, following after him.

"Wait for me! I'm not missing out on this adventure!" Vinyl ran after them.

"Adventure! YEAHHHH!!!" Bon Bon bounced after as well.

"Wait! This seems danger- oh never mind! Slow down!" Octavia walked after them.

Author's Note

The 'ADVENTURE! YEAHHH!' joke is from a Youtuber by the name of PBG, for those who didn't understand.

Magic is Friendship?- Part 3

Time Turner was running aimlessly, the others behind him.

"Where should we be going?" He asked, coming to a halt.

"Uhh..." Vinyl thought for a moment. "Hmmm... I know! It's another old pony's tale, but somewhere in the Everfree Forest are the Elements of Harmony, which were used to defend Equestria about 1000 years ago."

"Righto! To the Everfree Forest we go!" Proclaimed Turner, running towards the forest.

"WAIT!" Shouted the other ponies.

"What?" He asked.

"Um, the Everfree forest is kinda dangerous. Who knows what's in there!" Said Derpy.

"Yeah, it's pretty scary and stuff." Said Bon-Bon.

"Well, we have no other choice but to go in there." Turner replied.

"I suppose so." Octavia stated. "It is not a good solution, but it is the only one."

"Well... Off we go once more!" Turner shouted, galloping towards the forest.

"Adventure!" Screamed Bon-Bon. "YEAH!"

After a while, they were deep into the forest, surrounded by the unknown. After a while, Vinyl spoke up.

"Are we lost?" She asked.

"Uhh..." Turner looked around. "Yes, we are. By the way, how do these Elements of Harmony work?"

"Well, each stand of a personality trait, like wisdom or sweetness. The Princess is no longer bonded to them, so if a group of pure-hearted ponies with those personality traits find them, they would activate. I think." Replied Vinyl. "Hey, look! A bridge!"

"See? We might not be lost yet!" Said Turner, running towards it to find... A broken bridge. "Oh. It's broken. And there's not even anything to fix it."

"Well..." Said Vinyl, gathering some materials. "If we string these together..." She strung some bark to some vines. "And reinforce it a bit... Aaaaannnndddd... DONE!" She was now holding a completed bridge.

The other ponies looked on in shock.

"H-how did you?" Derpy stammered.

"I just kinda have a knack for these things." Replied Vinyl. "Derpy, can you put up this bridge?"

"Sure!" Derpy flew over to the other side and put up the bridge. "Done!" She said.

The other ponies crossed the bridge, face-to-face with an enormous castle.

"Well," Said Turner, "Here goes nothing."

"Adventure!" Yelled Bon-Bon.

"Let's do this!" Said Vinyl.

"Here we go!" Said Lyra.

"We shall end this!" Said Octavia.

"Okay then... Let's go!" Said Derpy.

They entered the castle.
