Rhodes was beaming!
He married a Princess!
How freaking cool was THAT?!
She was so beautiful and perfect.
He helped her and Spike take care of the castle and the books.
He was happy to.
This day was perfect. NOTHING could disrupt it.
Then he heard a whirring and grinding noise.
Scrolls and papers went everywhere as a blue box materialized out of thin air.
Rhodes was speechless.
A pony with a spiky brown mane and an hourglass Cutie Mark emerged in a blue suit with a green tie and something on his hooves.
He smiled and looked around.
"Ah. Good. We made in one piece. Okay, Ditzy! You can come out!" The stallion said.
Derpy Hooves, aka Ditzy Doo, emerged and looked around, seemingly unimpressed.
Twilight came out of her bedroom and saw the commotion.
"Doctor! Derpy!" She cried happily.
"Purple Snooty!" The Doctor said teasingly.
Twilight rolled her eyes and chuckled.
Rhodes simply stood there in stunned awe.
"Doctor, this is my husband, Cross Rhodes." She said happily.
"The-The box just came out of nowhere..." Rhodes said.
"Oi! It's not a box! It's my home. The TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimension In Space. A Type-40, to be precise." The Doctor said proudly.
Rhodes was still stunned.
"What brings you by?" Twi asked.
"Oh, just popping in for a visit. Oh, you've redecorated! I don't like it." The Doctor exclaimed.
Rhodes was trying to process everything.
"Who's THIS? Do YOU have a Companion, Twilight?" The Doctor asked.
"He's my husband. Cross Rhodes." She said...again.
"Ah. Light blue coat, silver and gold mane, good, good. Oh! What an intriguing Cutie Mark! A mirror obscured by smoke? Ooh!" The Doctor exclaimed.
"He can turn invisible in a puff of smoke and is visible on reflective surfaces like mirrors." Spike explained.
"Ooh! Onto the TARDIS! I want you to see it!" The Doctor said.
Rhodes was still stunned.
"Wh-What?!" He yelled.
"Ah, it'll be fine! You'll love it!" The Doctor said.
"So, where or when to? 1930s New York? Woman Wept? Pyrovile?" Derpy asked.
"I'm thinking Telos." The Doctor said.
"Oooh..." Twilight said.
Rhodes entered the box and saw a weird coral room.
"What? It's-It's bigger on the inside." He said.
"Yep! Welcome to the TARDIS!" The Doctor beamed.
Rhodes was exploring the TARDIS and all of its rooms. It was phenomenal!
He came upon a room that displayed the outfits of past Doctors.
The Doctor had explained regeneration and what it did to a Time Lord.
Rhodes was ecstatic and wondered about the adventures they all went on.
The Doctor, meanwhile, was piloting the TARDIS to a planet called Florana.
"This has to be, hooves down, the coolest thing EVER!" Rhodes said.
"Glad you like! Now, we should be approaching Florana and--"
BAM! The TARDIS was shuddering and shaking heavily.
"Whoa! What's wrong, girl?" The Doctor asked as he looked at the view screen. A Pegasus with a dark blue coat and a light blue mane and tail was outside.
"JACK?!" The Doctor asked.
"Air...corridor..." Jack managed.
The Doctor managed to get Jack into the TARDIS and stood there as the Pegasus got up.
"Thanks. Sorry about that. I would've knocked, but you seemed busy." Jack said.
"What brings you to the TARDIS, Jack?" Derpy asked.
"The pretty Princess of Friendship and her handsome husband." Jack said with a wink.
"Whoa! Back off!" Rhodes yelled.
"Jack..." The Doctor said in a warning voice.
"Killjoy." Jack smirked.
"Let's see where we are." Derpy said.
"Odd. I don't recognize this galaxy at ALL." The Doctor said.
"That's the Horsehead Nebula!" Twi said.
"So, we're still in their galaxy, but at a different point in time." Jack said.
"The TARDIS must've gone here to get rid of you." The Doctor said.
"Love her TOO." Jack said.
"See THAT? That's Equus. But it looks...metal. Completely taken over by metal." The Doctor said to Derpy.
"Doc..." Jack started.
"If it's them, get onboard and hit the fast return protocol. ALL of you." The Doctor said.
"If it's WHO?" Rhodes asked.
"Cybermen." The Doctor said.
