I always thought that things in this world were so perfect, you know how everything here seems so easy? Well it's not, I have learned there is no such thing as an easy life. It turns out that things were a lot more complicated for me. You see I was once married to the great mighty Discord, a draconequess just like me. We were childhood sweethearts, we grew strong in power and fierce. Soon we wanted more and he decided that Equestria was to be it, a real home for us to rule as king and queen, the perfect setting for us to raise our new born son. I decided to hide in the darkness with our son, unknown to the princesses that I was part of the plan. We thought it would be so easy with our magic, I tended to my son as I let him take the reigns. But I wish I had been there, once I came back to see how things were going all I found was my husband encased in stone. I thought he was gone, decided from our world. I was heartbroken by the sight, the very thing turned my sanity into something much more sinister. In that moment I broke down but soon I laughed, a laugh of pure insanity. I looked at my son and smiled, he looks so much like his father, I couldn't take care of him without Discord. I did keep him but I never tried to bond with him, it was too hard. I hid away in the depths of the Everfree forest inside a cave near a river. My poor son, I couldn't face him because of his resemblance, because of the memories. I neglected him and within a few years once my son grew more he left. I cared not at the time, I pretended I didn't at least, nothing could fix the pain I felt. Once time passed, a long, long time, he wasn't dead like I thought. I caught word of him being freed and resealed by some ponies, I ignored it to just a rumor but once I found out he was freed again to be used for good I had to make sure. I sneaked into Ponyville one night to a cottage of a pony named Fluttershy. Looking through that window of her small neat little home I saw him on the couch sleeping, It wasn't but two days after I heard he was 'reformed'. I wasn't happy to see him, I had been unfaithful after his sealing. I had slept around, neglected my son taken advantage of so many ponies just to try to get rid of my pain but it only hid it and made it worse. I was almost sad and a little angry to see him alive, not at him but at myself. I know he saw me, once I turned to leave he caught me outside. He begged me to stay and tell me what had happened to me and our son. I looked at him, the look I gave must have had a huge impact on him, as if it said all it needed to and all I felt because the look he gave me back was utter heartbreak. He let me go after that, I sulked away back to my cave and hid away for a while more to come. Soon things changed, one morning I woke up early to a strange warping sound outside the cave...
I emerge from my cave to find a grey Pegasus, he stood in front of a large blue box labeled 'police box'. I stared at him, nopony ever comes this deep into the forest. He glares back at me, then waves a strange stick at me with a glowing light. "Hmmm you are a draconequess but not discord... you're a female." I raise an eyebrow at him curiously before I notice him smirk at me with a blush. "And a sexy one at that, never tried one of you before." I blush at his comment, I have been with many since what happened but never do they confront me first. I chuckle and smirk back at the grey pony,
"Wanna go then?" I wanted to find out more about him and why he came here and what are the strange objects he had with him, but that could wait till after we were done. He took me inside his box which was much bigger on the inside, he took me into a bedroom where he took part it some fun. After a while of playing, rolling around, panting, whipping, biting, licking and more we were done. I lay on the large bed and looked at him as he gazed back at me. "What is this?" He shook his head,
"Oh yes fine introduction then, I'm the Doctor, this is the tardis I use it to travel though time and space to different universes blah blah blah." I pause before answering him,
"Sounds like fun." He sighs,
"Yeah it was."
"Was?" I tilt my head.
"I used to be a hero, before I found out the truth. Nothing matters in the end so why bother..." He shrugs with another heavy sigh, this one more heartfelt than the last. I pat his back,
"Come on butter butt it's alright." He smiles at me,
"Butter? How did you know I love butter?" I smirked in reply,
"Just came to me." I glanced at the wrappers of butter on the table beside the bed impishly. I still wanted to know more he interested me and I haven't had fun like that in a long time not since I visited sweet apple aches to see Big Mac. Yet there was something about him that I didn't understand at the time, there was a link between us that made a strange bond. "What happened?"
"I was with a partner at the time we found discord in his lair in another ponyverse, he showed me the truth so I decided I wasn't going to be a hero anymore and I would hide away sticking to the cowardly ways I know." I tilted my head, if what he said was true then that meant there were more worlds and maybe even more versions of me and maybe one where I didn't mess up my life... In the moment I decided I wanted to find that world, I wanted to take the place of the me that was there. With a deavilish smirk I nodded,
"Why don't we travel together?" He looked at me madly but paused and changed his frown into a smile,
"I would usually say no, nobody is loyal to me and they don't care so I'm better off alone. I don't want to be hurt again... but when I look at you I feel a bit better maybe you can, yes, yes indeed you will." My eyes widen as his grey colour changes to a brown shade, still a bit dull but I did see it change slightly. It lasted a few moments before he teared up and started to cry. He lunged himself into my arms crying. I hugged him for a while comforting him. Yes there was a bond between us but I didn't realize it at the time.
For the next few days we spent there in the tardis as he called it, I got out every now and then and went into town in disguise to get food and a nice hot coffee for me. He seemed to be anxious when I was gone I saw it when I opened the door how he felt, but once he noticed me he perked up and greeted me, each time his shade of grey changing. When I mentioned it he either said he was always brown or always grey and has never changed. It seems the Discord of that particular world did something rather dark to him, I didn't care much to change it I was starting to be happy and the last thing I wanted was to meddle with it. One night he asked me about my past, I told him about Discord and my son and what happened. He simply turned to me and said,
"Let's go visit you son and patch things up." I didn't understand it and refused, but with some... convincing I eventually agreed and reluctantly told him where Din my son was. He used the Tardis to travel there and within moments there we were, the large city of Manehattern. I groaned as we stepped out. "Ok, where is the young lad?" I groaned once more,
"In a studio... I hear he's a movie director now, his magic would be useful for creative jobs I suppose..." The truth is I had received mail from him in the past telling me where he was in case I decided to 'change my ways'. However I decided to withhold that information. Once we found the place I knocked on the door and entered with the doctor behind me.
"Mum?" a voice echoed. I looked over to a hallway that connected to the main room with much technical equipment around. There he was Din, my son. I had not seen him in hundreds of years. To think of all the time we spent apart when we met again it felt as if we had never been apart at all. He ran towards me wrapping his arms around me in a warm embrace, it was then that I felt happy as if I was a real mother. He glanced at the Doctor and smiled,
"Is this my new dad?" I blushed and so did the Doctor, indeed we were seeing each other but we were not serious.
"I uh... well not really." The doctor smiled at us tears in his eyes as if longing for a familiar feeling. He invited him into the tardis for the day, that day we all spent together meant so much to me. Din left the next morning to get back to his home and work, I was truly proud of him. I felt as if I had repented at least a little of my bad in the past, and I felt a little bit less empty. It was all thanks to the doctor, he really was changing me for the better. It was then I really started to feel for him, more than just my play friends in the past. I was letting myself fall again for somepony. And I didn't know what to do about it.
