Chapter 1: Big News
Time Turner was trotting down the road towards the center of Ponyville. It's such a beautiful day today! he thought to himself as he continued on down the road. He looked up to see a beautiful blue sky, with only a few puffy white clouds drifting lazily about, occasionally being run into by playful Pegasi as they played cloud tag. Everywhere around him there were ponies going this way and that and flying and chatting with friends, or hurrying off to run errands. He looked over at the meadow as he trotted by, smiling at the animals frolicking around in the lush green grass. The bunnies hopped around, stopping here and there to nibble on something to eat, and the colourful birds of Ponyville sang sweet melodies that made him close his eyes and sigh contentedly.
"Doctor!!" Roseluck called out loudly, making Time Turner jump in surprise as he was shaken out of his daydreaming. He turned to see her trotting towards him, noticing that she seemed to want to go faster, but wouldn't for some reason. She was taking great care not to knock anypony over or let herself be knocked over either, being considerably more careful than her usually somewhat clumsy self. He wondered what was wrong and stood waiting patiently for her to catch up to him.
"Doctor, please, it's important!" She said, with a strange look on her face, she panted loudly as she reached him, brushing her soft pink mane out of her face. Time Turner grimaced.
"Now, Rose, I've told you. Don't call me that in public. Why are you so out of breath? What's wrong? Are you out of shape? I've never seen you quite like this!" He frowned, rubbing his forehead with his beige hoof. Roseluck frowned.
"Fine, Time Turner then. Please come back to the TARDIS with me, please!" She begged, starting to sound desperate and more and more nervous. Time Turner noticed this and began to take her seriously.
"Alright let's go then. But not too fast, you seem to be out of breath." He said, trotting off at a brisk pace. Roseluck sighed and shook her head nervously, constantly looking anywhere but him as they walked. Time Turner glanced her way a few times, curious at her very unusual behavior. They finally arrived at the TARDIS, and Time Turner breathed a sigh of relief. Roseluck turned to Time Turner, her eyes wide and starting to shine.
"Doctor, I'm pregnant." She looked away as she said this, feeling nervous. Time Turner's jaw dropped, and his eyes went wide and blank in shock.
"W-what do you mean?!" He spluttered, looking shocked and clueless. Rose stomped her hoof, frustrated. She sighed angrily.
"What the hay do you mean, what do I mean?!" She huffed, obviously annoyed. Time Turner shrugged sheepishly.
"How could you be pregnant?! I'm a Time Pony, you're a regular Earth Pony, we shouldn't be able to conceive!" He said slowly, like he was thinking aloud, which, knowing him, he probably wasn't even aware his mouth was moving, as he stared off into space, mumbling and running a hoof through his messy brown mane.
"Doctor?" Roseluck nosed him on his ear, worried. He didn't even respond when she waved her hoof in front of his face. She frowned and paced in front of him.
"Rose dear, don't stress yourself out. It could hurt the foal." Time Turner suddenly said, putting his hoof on her back gently. Roseluck looked up, startled.
"Doctor?" She said, confused. He held her hoof in both of his, gently stroking it, trying to soothe her.
"Rose, if you are pregnant, not that I doubt you," He added as she opened her mouth to interrupt him. "Anyways, if you are, you must be careful with yourself. No stress, lots of food and rest, and just being safe in general." He said, reaching up to stroke her mane with his hoof.
"Should we talk to a doctor or something? Maybe Nurse Redheart?" Roseluck asked, starting to look nervous. Time Turner frowned thoughtfully.
"yes, I suppose we should see someone with medical knowledge, but to be honest Rose, but I would rather go to the princess, she could shed some light on the strangeness of this situation." He mumbled.
"The princess?" Rose asked, confused.
"Yes, the princess! Let's go now!" Time Turner grabbed her hoof and started out of the T.A.R.D.I.S.
"Doctor, be careful, remember, the foal!" Rose pulled away and followed him, trotting slowly. Time Turner looked back and stopped.
"Oh, yes, of course. I'm sorry, Rose." He slowed to her pace and trotted beside her, eager to get to the princess's library, but also content to be trotting along beside his beautiful marefriend. They trotted through Ponyville, occasionally stopping for a quick hello or a short conversation with somepony. When they reached the library, Roseluck hung back a bit, looking more nervous then ever.
"What's wrong, Rose?" Time Turner turned back and looked at her, confused.
"What if somethings wrong? What if the princess thinks we should get rid of it?" She started talking fast, starting to hyperventilate.
"Rose my dear, the princess isn't like that, and I'm sure if somethings wrong she'll be able to fix it." He said, stroking her mane and calming her down. She smiled at him, feeling a bit less nervous with his calming touch.
"Okay, I'm ready." She said, taking a deep breath. Time Turner nodded and lifted his hoof to knock on the door. They waited a few minutes, looking up at the library, where the princess was known to spend most of her time, instead of her castle. It was made out of a big hollowed out tree, with some windows and a little balcony that had a Star Swirl The Bearded brand telescope on it.
"Oh, hey, it's you guys!" The door opened, and a small purple and green dragon looked up at them. "Ponyville's not in trouble again is it?" He asked warily, hiding behind the door a bit.
"No, don't worry Spike. Ponyville is perfectly safe right now. But we do kind of need to talk to the princess." Rose said, giggling at the cute little dragon. Spike blushed and opened the door wider.
"Oh, of course. Come in!" He said, smiling. He led them to the kitchen and sat them down at a large wooden table, it had purple placemats and a vase full of daisies in the middle. "You guys wait here, I'll go get Twilight!" He said, smiling as he ran up the stairs. "TWIILLLIIIGGGHHHT!" They hear him shout.
An Alicorn trotted slowly down the stairs, her face in a book. Her coat was a light grayish mulberry color, her mane a sapphire blue color, with violet and brilliant rose streaks, violet eyes, and a cutie mark of a magenta colored 6 point star, surrounded by 5 smaller white stars. She sat down in the chair across from Time Turner and Roseluck, and put her book down. A tea tray floated over, levitated by a light raspberry colored magical aura. It settled onto the table and Twilight smiled at them both, nodding at them in turn.
"Hello Doctor, Roseluck." She said, smiling again. "What brings you two here? Not more trouble in Ponyville, I hope." She said, suddenly worried.
"No, princess, I-"
"Call me Twilight." She interrupted Time Turner.
"All right, no Twilight, no trouble in Ponyville. Trouble with Rose." Time Turner continued, putting his hoof over Roseluck's.
"Alright, what trouble would this be?" Twilight said, cocking her head to one side curiously. Wow, Time Turner asking for help, that's new, I wonder what's wrong with Roseluck? Twilight thought as the two ponies in front of her squirmed, seemingly trying to find the right words to describe their situation.
"W-well Twilight... I, um...." Roseluck mumbled, nervously fidgeting in her seat. Time Turner reached over to stroke her mane, calming her down a bit.
"it's okay Rose, I'll tell her." He nodded to her. Roseluck smiled up at him. He returned his attention to the princess. "Well, Twilight, the thing is... Roseluck is pregnant." He said, sounding a bit uncertain and nervous himself.
"Oh, congratulations?" Twilight said, confused a to why this problem was so worrisome. "And this is trouble.. how?" She asked.
"Twilight, I'm a Time Pony. We shouldn't be able to conceive. I'm worried about what's going to happen to Rose and our foal." Time Turner said, frowning.
"Oh, yes, of course. I apologize, Doctor. I forgot that for a moment." Twilight said, blushing in embarrassment.
"It's fine, princess" Time Turner waved his hoof, looking over Twilight's shoulder at a contraption behind her.
"Doctor?" Twilight said, raising an eyebrow.
"Huh?" Time Turner mumbled, still staring.
"Ahem." Twilight cleared her throat. "Back to the matter at hoof." She said, as Time Turner sheepishly returned his attention to her.
