Doctor Whooves: A Dazzling Encounter

The six friends and the Doctor were in line in Sugar Cube Corner, waiting to get their order. After Sunset got her order, the Doctor walked up, and said, "Fish Fingers and Custard, please."

Mrs. Cake cocked her head to the side. "Huh?"

"Fish Fingers and Custard." The Doctor reiterated. "You know, like what you'd call fish sticks, and custard, it's kinda like a pudding?" Mrs. Cake's confused look remained on her face. "Still no? All right fine, I'll take a chocolate fudge sundae."

Mrs. Cake smiled, and then said. "Coming right up, your number is eleven."

The Doctor turned around heading to the corner where the rest of his friends mumbling, "Well, that's ironic." He sat down, next to Sunset, who was sitting on the arm of a couch.

"So how old are you now?" Sunset asked, who took a sip of her smoothie.

"Oh, twelve hundred and something, unless I'm lying, I can't remember if I'm lying about my age of not, that's how old I am." The Doctor said.

"The last time we saw you, you were nine hundred and five." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yes, well, I travelled with a married couple for a while, and now I primarily travel with a girl named Clara. She recently tried to get a teaching job, I'm not sure if she got it or not."

Applejack rubbed her chin. "Wait, if yer travlin' with someone else, why are yer here?"

"I needed to clear my mind, just had an incident with the Cybermen, thought I'd take a pit stop here." The Doctor explained.

"Eleven!" Mrs. Cake shouted at the counter.

"Half a moment." The Doctor said, getting up.

"You really think he's the Doctor?" Rainbow Dash whispered in Sunset's ear.

"I'm inclined to." Sunset replied. "The Doctor can do amazing things, for all we know, this is one of them."

The Doctor sat back down, holding a sundae in his left hand, and a spoon with the other. "So, enough about me, what about you?"

"We haven't really done anything worth mentioning, but, I do have a question about you though." Sunset said.

The Doctor sighed. "Shoot."

"Last time I saw you, you were standing near the statue, just standing there." Sunset explained. "You didn't wave, say anything, or show that you saw me at all, you just stood there. Why?"

The Doctor looked down at his boots. "Last time I was dying, I went and saw everyone I ever travelled with, I only talked to one of them, and then I changed. I checked up on everyone, no matter who they were, where they were from, or where they were now, but I saw everyone of them. Even Twilight, but still, everyone."

"Wow. How long did that take?" Sunset asked.

"Now that I think about it, a very long time." The Doctor replied, putting a spoonful of sundae in his mouth. "But, what have you been doing?"

"I already told you, not much..."

"That doesn't look like him." Aria said, peering through the glass at sugar cube corner.

"I was able to hack into some websites about him. They say he can change his form, they didn't mention how." Adagio replied, irritated. Aria always looked for a reason to criticize her.

"So when do go in and meet this Doctor?" Aria asked.

"Once he walks out." Adagio said.

The Doctor placed the empty glass on the table and said. "Still not as good as Fish Fingers and Custard."

Sunset whispered something in Rarity's ear, who quickly stood up, and glanced at the other girls. "I'm going to use the lavatory. Does anyone else need to go?"

Everyone, except Sunset shook their heads. "A-hem!" Rarity said, eyeing the rest of them.

The girls glanced at each other, and then at Sunset who kind of had a 'go away' look on her face.

"Oh!" The four said, simultaneously, and stood up, and walked away, leaving Sunset and the Doctor sitting at the table.

Sunset looked at the Doctor's wrist, and noticed he was wearing a gold wrist watch. "Is that the watch I gave you? For Christmas?"

"Hm?" The Doctor asked, and then said, "Oh, right! Yes it is. My other incarnation wasn't too fond of it, though."

Sunset raised an eyebrow. "He wasn't?"

"No; I love it though!" The Doctor exclaimed, "I did make a slight modification, though. No matter where I land in time and space, the watch will automatically set itself to the correct time, according to it's environment."

"Wow, that's amazing." Sunset said.

"Yes, I thought so," the Doctor said, "So, I assume Twilight had given you something?"

Sunset's face sank. "Yes, she did." Sunset tugged at her new leather jacket, "She gave me this."

"Oh, nice suits you." The Doctor said. He didn't want to dwell on Twilight's fate. "What happened to that sonic pen I gave you?"

"Uh..." Sunset grumbled. "I kinda...lost it..."

The Doctor's mouth went agape. "How did you lose a sonic pen?"

"I started wearing a dress, it makes pocket space scarce." Sunset explained, gesturing toward her light blue dress, "I put it in one of my jacket pockets and I lost it."

"Great, so who knows who has it, or where it is." The Doctor groaned.

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure it's fine." Sunset said, reassuringly.

That didn't make the Doctor feel any better. "Well then..." the Doctor glanced at his milkshake. "Oh, look at that, it's gone!" The Doctor stood up quickly, and clapped his hands together. "So! The TARDIS has had a massive overhaul since you last saw it! Want to take a look?"

"Do I?"

[hr}

"He's coming." Adagio said, "Get ready."

"And, I faced against this weird minotaur that caused everybody's worst nightmare."

"Really?" Sunset asked, "What was yours?"

"Oh, it was um..." the Doctor stopped, and stared in front of him.

"What is it?" Sunset asked, and looked at what that Doctor was looking at. "Oh no..."

"Why, hello Sunset Shimmer, long time no see." Adagio Dazzle said, and mischievous grin on her face. She was standing right next to Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk, her fellow sirens.

"Adagio Dazzle." Sunset Shimmer said, "So, the evil leader of the sirens displays her ugly face once again."

"Ugly?" Adagio scoffed, "Oh please, I'll have you know I'm quite pretty."

"Yeah, pretty annoying." Sunset said.

"The Dazzlings?" Rainbow Dash spoke up, exiting the diner with the rest of her friends. "I thought we got rid of you!"

"Come now, Dashie." Adagio said, "You could never get rid of me."

"Hold on," the Doctor said, speaking up, "Doctor not following, Doctor very lost. Who are they?"

"The Dazzlings." Sunset explained, coldness in her voice, "They're a group of sirens that tried to steal the magic of friendship within us and then use it to hypnotize the world into adoring them."

"Really, sirens?!" the Doctor said, excited, and got closer to Adagio, "Wow! I've never seen a species that can hypnotize people by singing! Tell me, is there some kind of special gland that allows you to do it, or is it actually magic?"

"Oh, it's magic alright." Sonata said, speaking up, "We have the ability to make people do exactly what we want."

"Or rather, had the ability." Aria said, bluntly.

"Had?" the Doctor asked.

"The gems that allowed us to sing were destroyed." Adagio clarified, then eyed the Doctor. "I don't believe we've been properly introduced." She cocked her hips to one side, and put her hands on them. "My name is Adagio Dazzle, leader of the Dazzlings. That's Aria and Sonata."

"Hi!" Sonata cheered, waving fiercely. Aria merely groaned.

"I'm the Doctor, Time-Lord from Gallifrey, savor or worlds, and I've been flouting the rules of my species for years, and why am I telling you this?"

Adagio chuckled and smirked, "It's nothing new. People tend to, shall we say, pour out their hearts around me."

"Uh-huh, good to know." The Doctor said, taking a step back.

Behind him, Sunset cleared her throat. "Doctor, can we have a word?"

The Doctor turned to Adagio. "Hold that thought." He waltzed back over to Sunset and the others.

"Doctor," Sunset began, "If the Dazzlings are here, trouble is just around the corner. Even without their pendants, they're still dangerous. You can't trust them. If they're here, they're here to cause trouble."

"Trouble?!" Adagio asked, offended, "Why, we wouldn't dream of it! After all, you beat us last time, you'd probably just beat us this time. Even though you don't have Little Miss Friendship Princess with you, you do have the bowtie-clad Time Boy over there."

"Time Boy?" The Doctor asked, confused.

"So if you're not here to cause trouble," Sunset began, "Which I find hard to believe, why are you here?"

"We want to be reformed." Adagio said, flatly.

"Hold on." Pinkie said, and ran into the bakery, and emerged with a glass of water, which be promptly drank, and then spewed out onto the sidewalk. "You want to be what?!"

"Reformed." Adagio repeated.

"I'm sorry, you want to be reformed?" Sunset asked, "You. Specifically. You. Leader of the sirens, who turned an entire school into adoring her, by swaying her hips and singing, before turning into a weird crazy fish monster?"

"Says the girl who bullied an entire school into submission and then turned into a raging she demon." Adagio said, tearing open a wound, causing Sunset to step back. "The only difference between our defeats is that your rainbow friendship laser of doom magically turned you good, mine just destroyed my source of power."

"Okay, wound open!" The Doctor interrupted, stepping in between the two girls, "Adagio, first step to being reformed: Be nice to people."

"What, like you?" Adagio scoffed.

"Yes, exactly."

"Oh, this is stupid!" Aria groaned, "Why are we here?"

"We want to be reformed, silly!" Sonata said, gleefully, slapping Aria on the back.

"In that case, why not get to know each other?" The Doctor suggested, placing one hand on Adagio's shoulder and the other on Sunset's, "What do teenagers normally do to get to know each other? Frat parties? Play football? Tea parties?"

"I think you just described every generation, except the one we're in." Adagio said.

"Well, what do you normally do?" The Doctor said, before smiling, "I know! A sleepover! You've done it before, I know you have! So why not do it again? All nine of you!"

Sunset and Adagio stared at each other. Adagio smiled and shrugged. "Alright," Sunset said, "But on one condition." She turned to the Doctor. "You're going to be there too."

"Hm? What? No!" The Doctor practically screamed, "No! Not me! I-I couldn't! No! I absolutely won't do it!"
