The Doctor and Rainbow: A Town to Silent

The town was very busy today. Whole streets were crowded with people. Rainbow and Doctor were squeezing in and out of gaps in the crowd of people. Once and a while they would see a child run past soon followed by other children. They were heading to the market to get some food. They had arrived the night before and had stayed and they would leave tomorrow after breakfast. After a while they finally found the market. It wasn't as crowded, oddly. They walked over to a stand that sold fruits and vegetables. The Doctor didn't like the fact that Rainbow was going to stay a vegetarian and not even try meat.

"I'll have a few of those," Rainbow said pointing at three red, lumpy fruits. They looked good to Rainbow so she thought she'd try some.

"That will be three notes," the stand owner said. Rainbow went into her pockets and pulled out three slips of paper and handed them over to the stand owner. He took the paper and handed her the fruit. The Doctor was looking at a stand with what looked like fish. Then he quickly looked around for a stand that sold anything that was custard. Nothing. So he ordered what looked like a celery stalk. Rainbow Dash had taken a bite out of her fruit and kept chewing. She thought it tasted good. She wasn't sure about the Doctor and what he'd think about the taste. They went and sat at a table near a small building. The building was rickety and old. The shutters hung on one hinge. Windows were smashed and the roof had caved in.

"So how are you liking it here so far," The Doctor asked chewing on the celery shaped food. He spit it out instantly. "Ugh, that wasn't celery," he said. Rainbow chuckled and toke another bite from the fruit.

"Well I grew up in Cloudsdale then moved to Ponyville," she said," I had the chance to have my own house. Well I toke it and really did enjoy all the open space. Here it's just to crowded."

"Well we'll only be here until tomorrow, hopefully," he said.

"What do you mean hopefully," Rainbow asked.

"Well the TARDIS did take us here for a reason," he said," and the TARDIS never takes me anywhere without a reason." Rainbow didn't understand what The Doctor had just said. She didn't understand a lot the Doctor said but I guess that was because she didn't understand the Doctor at all.

"Whatever," she said as she bit into the fruit again. The Doctor just gave her a quizzical look.

"What do you mean whatever," he said.

"I mean whatever it doesn't matter," she said tossing what was left of the fruit. It was almost completely edible.

"Well it does matter to me," he said pointing his thumb at himself.

"Not to me," she said. She didn't find it anymore important than fighting with Twilight over which was better unicorns or pegasi.

"Well it will if the TARDIS is right and there is something bound to happen," The Doctor said. He sometimes didn't understand why Rainbow was so uninterested in these things. Maybe because she hadn't had quite the life before this.

"Just stop arguing about it Doc," Rainbow said. Why was he dragging this argument on and on.

"Fine but i'm sure of it," Doctor said giving himself some praise of some sort.

"Mhm," Rainbow had stopped paying attention to The Doctor. She was looking across the street at a strangely dressed man. He didn't seem to belong there. His hat was tipped over his head a beard hung over his trench coat. His trench coat was a dark green and covered in what looked like mud. His beard was black and he wore boots. The boots were jet black with more mud on them. His pants were covered by the trench coat. He limped as if he had been damaged by some sort of object. His hands were in his pockets. But he seemed too out of place maybe he was cold. The town was a bit chilly.

"-and. Um Rainbow, Rainbow Dash are you paying attention," The Doctor said waving his hand in front of her face. She snapped back to reality.

"Oh yeah definitely," she said looking right at The Doctor.

"Okay well as I was saying -" the Doctor went off into a long lecture of the TARDIS and how it knows where to take him if he doesn't know where to go. Rainbow had looked back to where that man had been. He was gone so she just drifted in and out of a thinking state. As night started to fall they headed back to the TARDIS.

"I hope you know where you're sleeping," Doctor asked?

"Yeah, downstairs," she said remembering what The Doctor had said.

"Good, and," The Doctor continued.

"And good night Doctor," she said with a little doubt.

"I'll take it," he said as they approached the TARDIS he opened the door for Rainbow and let her inside. Rainbow quickly ran down the stairs of the TARDIS. "Good night to you to Rainbow," he said as he went over to where he slept time to time. It was rare for him to sleep during days that there was trouble and problems. But as soon as he laid down he was out like a light. Rainbow soon climbed into bed after a quick look at something she set by her bed. An orange feather, belonging to a friend of hers. She would miss Scootaloo so much. But she would see Scootaloo eventually.

"Good night Scootaloo," she said. She lied down and closed her eyes. She dreamed of Scootaloo upset with her leaving. Losing all care for who Rainbow was. It was no longer a dream it had become a nightmare.
