Doctor Whooves: A Dazzling Encounter

"Stay right where you are," Aria said, as she dialed a number on her phone. "Move, and you die." She set the phone to speaker mode. "Glimmer, do you read me?"

"Loud and clear, Blaze." A woman's voice replied over the phone. "Is the machine captured?"

"Affirmative." Aria replied.

While Aria had a conversation with the woman known only as Glimmer, the Doctor, Adagio, and Sunset were trying to make sense of what had just transpired. The Doctor was back in his normal clothes, but wore a low-cut lavender waistcoat, and an orange bow-tie with a grey diamond pattern. Adagio had switched into a pair of jeans and a grey hoodie, which were somehow perfectly fit for her. The Doctor had explained that the TARDIS scans whoever comes in, and prepares a set of clothes for them, but, she wondered otherwise.

"But, why did Aria do this?" Sunset asked, who was sitting on one of the stairs, above the Doctor and Aria.

"Adagio, you told me Aria and you often butted heads when it came to who should lead?" The Doctor asked.

"I didn't put it that way, but, basically." Adagio confirmed.

"Then, maybe this is a desperate way for head to prove she can lead." The Doctor suggested.

"No way." Adagio said, shaking her head. "Aria isn't like that. More likely is she's trying to get rid of us."

"But, what about Sonata?" Sunset asked. "Is it possible that she's helping Aria?"

"Not likely." Adagio said. "Aria and Sonata hate each other. If Aria has Sonata in on her plan, Sonata would have babbled it out by now."

"True." Sunset said. "First time I met you, Sonata basically told me about your powers."

"I remember, I was there." Adagio said, flatly.

"But," Sunset said. "who's Glimmer?"

"I don't know." Adagio admitted. "However, we might be able to narrow the selection of people down."

"How so?" Sunset asked.

"Think about it," the Doctor began, "Blaze, is Aria's last name. We can assume that Glimmer is a last name as well, so, that narrows it down."

"But, no one I know has the last name of Glimmer." Sunset said.

"Nor do I." Adagio said.

"Don't worry, you'll meet Glimmer soon enough." Aria said, looking right at them.

"Really?" The Doctor said. "Okay, what's her first name?" He walked up the stairs, toward Aria.

"You really want to know, don't you?" Aria asked, pointing her gun at him.

"I did just ask, didn't I?" The Doctor said.

"Starlight."

The Doctor chuckled. "So, it's Starlight Glimmer?" Then, he began to laugh even harder, and pointing at Sunset said, "It's like a cross between yours and Twilight's name! Get it?! Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, and now Starlight Glimmer?! Are Equestrians just really cliché when it comes to names?" The Doctor regained his composure, and looked straight at Aria. "Now then, I'll take your gun."

Aria chuckled. "I'm sorry?" She laughed a little bit. "You really think I'm just going to give you my only weapon against you?"

"You really think you're prepared to just shoot me?" The Doctor said. "Oh, come now, Aria, you are clever, but, you're not prepared to just kill someone." The Doctor approached her. "You're not prepared to take charge, you can plan it, and you can begin to put it into action, but, you'll never takes the steps to complete it." He reached his hand out. "Now, come on, give me the gun."

Aria tensed up, and then turned her gun to the side, and shot the TARDIS wall.

"YOU SHOT MY TARDIS!!!" The Doctor shouted.

"I'm...warning you..." Aria panted.

"Worse, you shot one of the round things!" The Doctor shouted.

"What are the round things?" Sunset asked.

"I...I don't know!!!" The Doctor shouted, and turned back to Aria. "Now, give me that gun before you before you hurt someone." The Doctor reached out, and thrust the gun out of her hands. He ran down the stairs, and placed it in the storage compartment with below the console.

"Now," the Doctor began, leaning on the TARDIS console. "who is Starlight Glimmer?"

Aria stood there for a bit, and then ran out the TARDIS door. "Oh, you got to be kidding me..." The Doctor mumbled, and then turned to Adagio and Sunset, cocking his head in a 'follow me' motion. The girls shrugged, and followed the Doctor to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, the Doctor was pulled out, along with Adagio and Sunset, by a girl with lavender skin, purple hair, with turquoise highlights tied back in a ponytail, a black button down shirt, and a dark purple jacket. She immediately put them in handcuffs, and shoved them to the floor.

"Let me guess, Starlight Glimmer?" The Doctor asked.

"You guessed right." Starlight replied.

The Doctor examined their surroundings. They appeared to be in a large hanger bay. Aria was standing just a few meters away from them.

"Where are we?" Sunset asked.

"You're currently in orbit, on a space station based off an old military base." Aria explained.

"We're...in space?" Adagio said.

The Doctor rolled his eyes. "Why is it that everybody is nervous when their in space?"

"I don't know." Sunset said.

"Oh, who cares?" Starlight said. "Come on," She helped them up. "You're going to the brig."
