Chapter 1 - This T.A.R.D.I.S Of Mine...
It was a cold, fall morning. Derpy awoke from under the bed sheets, she didn't get much sleep at all after her visit with Dr. Whooves. She wasn't ready to see this "Time Machine" of his and use it... "Why? It was funny at first, but now its getting scary the more I think about it..." She paused, but then continued. "This is a disaster waiting to happen and I should let Dr. Whooves know so." She said to herself.
She got up finally and went to brush her teeth and get breakfast, her morning routine was a bit more sloppy due to the lack of sleep. She slowly walked downstairs into the bathroom, where she lazily took her toothbrush, put toothpaste on it and brushed her teeth. She was so tired that she almost slipped because of the water on the floor. She came out into the kitchen, she once again was sloth-like with something, so she had cereal, the most basic breakfast ever, probably so she wouldn't have to work much... It was 5:00 A.M. in the morning so it was understandable.
She opened her front door, only to be meet with darkness and a barren-looking wasteland. It was hard to see through the black vault that thickened the skies. She could barely see anything, but the outline of shadowy figures, that most likely was her mind playing tricks on her.
At this point she felt like her head was taunting her with "screwing up the space-time continuum..." the words rang in her ears as if it were an alarm clock going off. She wasn't the one to blame if things ended sour, Dr. Whooves was, it was his machine.
Derpy could see the shape of Dr. Whooves' house in the distance, and then knocked on his door... Only to met with horror, the house a mess; papers and books with utensils all over the floor.
"Dr. Whooves? Is everything alright?" She was replied by silence. She began looking for him, not in the kitchen or dinning room, nor the living room... Checked the bathroom, nopony was there. As she came to door to his bedroom, she felt that this place, looked more like a messy science lab than a home. "Dr. Whooves?" She was so confused, until it hit her... "No! No! What if his time machine did this?!" She froze, scared on the spot. "Nooooo!!!" She saw the T.A.R.D.I.S, right there in his office...
Upon closer inspection, the papers were like a time capsule, she didn't get it... Then she saw something that surprised her a blue glow and a fade to black. She felt like she was in bed again, because she was. It appears it seemed to be one horrible nightmare.

"I'm here!" Derpy shouted down the path to Dr. Whooves.
"Glad you could make it!" Dr. Whooves said as Derpy came to the opened door of the doctor's house.
"Yeah, about that... I don't think this is a good idea at all." Derpy told Dr. Whooves.
"Of course it is! It could revolutionize science as a whole!" Dr. Whooves said with a "don't be ridiculous" face.
"Here let me show you it!" Dr. Whooves insisted.
Dr. Whooves opened the door to his office, and the T.A.R.D.I.S was standing in corner; wires and other devices attached to it. The T.A.R.D.I.S had the look of a old-fashion phone booth, it was blue with words "Public Police Call Box" engraved in the top. It looked a little funny, but Derpy knew that it was a complicated machine indeed and could easily screw up anything...
She was starting to hate Dr. Whooves a little because he has ignored Derpy's distress so far. Only responding like "Everything will be fine..." or "Don't worry so much..." It was getting on her nerves. Dr. Whooves had to much energy, he's usually the professional type.
"I Can't wait!" Dr. Whooves said as he dialed in a date. "We are going back to the first days of Equestria, how exciting is that?!" Dr. Whooves noted with a wide grin on his face.
"No, no, this isn't a good idea, we could get killed!" Derpy shouted in Dr. Whooves' face.
"For the last time Derpy, don't wor-" He was interrupted.
"No! I don't want to hear it! Your acting childish and your taking NO SAFETY MEASURES, WHAT SO EVER!!!" Derpy's voice grew louder and louder with anger and frustration. "WOULD YOU JUST LISTEN TO REASO-... No, no! You did not just do that! Don't you press that button!" Derpy demanded, Dr. Whooves then activated the machine.
"There's no going back now! We can argue latter, now we party, party pooper!" Dr. Whooves said excitedly.
Suddenly Derpy was swept into the machine tractor beam, after a blue glow there argue settled and survivability increased. They were in the past now and there was no going back; the portal that brought them here, closed behind them...

"Dr. Whooves no! I'm swear I'm gonna kill you for that!" Derpy mumbled. She spoke to sight of freezing cold weather and Dr. Whooves unconscious on the ground, like she just was. "The beginning of Equestria..." Derpy starred at the cold empty wasteland, it reminded her off the dream she had, barren-looking wasteland indeed.
Chapter 2 - Discorded In Time
"Wake up!" Derpy shouted in his ear.
"Huh? Wha- Yes! I did it, no we did it!" Dr. Whooves was astonished.
"Yay... It works, woo! NOW HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BACK!?" Derpy was very angry. "Oh and by the way, THANKS FOR NOT LISTENING TO A WORD I SAID! ALSO IGNORING ME!" Derpy wasn't putting up with him anymore.
"Derpy what's gotten into you? Why so angry?" Derpy gave him a angry face as he said it.
"Ha... Ha! Why so angry!? You've got to be kidding me! I just said like 10 seconds ago why...!" Derpy started thinking he wasn't as smart as he puts himself out to be.
"Oh, you did? I wasn't listening..." Dr. Whooves pointed out with a nervous smile, until he noticed that the ground they were standing on was a checkerboard?
"Wait... WHERE THE HELL ARE WE AND WHAT IS THAT!?" Derpy shouted out, then pointed towards a upside-down house with chocolate rain drenching it.
"Oh no... We must be back when Discord took over Equestria..." Dr. Whooves became scared.
There was chaos everywhere! Checkerboard grounds, giant cards, and chocolate rain mixed in with lightning and thunder. Everything looked so misplaced and wrong, but of course it was, I mean who's house is upside-down?! There was nopony in sight while night and day passed by so quickly, like they were constantly, rapidly moving forward in time and they wish they were, all they wanted was to get back home safely.
This gave flashbacks about when Discord came back to brew chaos once again, which was obviously after now... Time-travel, it gets confusing. Discord was an evil mesh-mash of creatures and was born to create chaos, but now in the present, he isn't evil anymore, seeing him like this again is bringing back dark memories.
"We need to get out of here!" Derpy claimed and Dr. Whooves this time did not disagree.
"Your right!" Dr. Whooves replied.
This was far too dangerous times and out of all the different years, it had to be this one. Derpy was told by her friend Rainbow Dash, that he likes to trick your mind and make you do things you'd never want to do...
"Do you know any place where we can hide?!" Derpy asked.
"No! I'm not that old!" Dr. Whooves said with worried expression, while trying to not show his fearful eyes.
"You know what? Never mind!" Derpy told with slight anger in her voice.
The two ponies ran, and ran... Hoping to escape this twisted period in time, however knew that they were going nowhere. It felt as though some "dark magic" was chasing them and recording their every move. The predator hunting it's prey... Lightning struck all over the ground, and they thought they were going to black out. Its the feeling of being constantly chased... Then again, "life" chases you too and eventually catches up. That's what was happening... It, whatever it was, was catching up...
"Maybe the reason Discord was so evil in the first place, is because he's angry at him himself, after all... How would you feel if YOU were born Sprit Of Chaos... Sometimes life doesn't give us the things we want or need, sometimes it gives us death..." Just the fact that Derpy thought that, gave shivers down her spine...
"Huh? Why did you stop running? We are going to die, if we don't try to escape this dark power!" Dr. Whooves shouted. "Are you even listening to me?!" Dr. Whooves shouted once again.
"Doctor... I... Help me..." Derpy slowly fell to the ground with a thud.
"Oh, sweet Celestia! No! Maybe she is tired from running? No... Oh, please don't be dead!" Dr. Whooves was suddenly frightened, by the sight of his best friend on the ground, possibly dead...
"Well what do we have here? A Time Lord and Muffin-Lover..." A mysterious voice filled the air around the two ponies. "Names, Discord, but of course, I already know yours..." Discord said in a suspicious tone.
"What?!" Dr. Whooves was scared, but surprised.
A strange figure appeared in the distance, it was most likely, Discord. Somehow Discord knew them, and before they were born too! He had a crazy, chaotic look to him, as he would...
"Do you actually think that YOU, of all ponies, was the first to discover time-travel? Don't make me laugh, I've been through the whole ordeal... Oh, and as for your friend Derpy, I may or may not have, umm... How do you put this? Ah, she is now under my control and I, Discord, demand you not to interfere with my plans... You see I want her to KILL you, right then enough said... Derpy, kill "The Doctor", can't wait to see you turn into a big mess, that I will have to clean up later, ta-ta!" Discord announced while Derpy got up and started to run towards Dr. Whooves.
"No!" Dr. Whooves shouted at Derpy.
Then, everything got a whole lot worse... He couldn't believe his eyes, his best friend Derpy... lost to a lunatic with power beyond anything of what this world has. Derpy lunged towards Dr. Whooves and prepeared for attack, Dr. Whooves tried to block it, but failed.
"Argghhh!!! Oww!" Dr. Whooves yelled in pain. "Derpy, this isn't you! Stop this madness...!" Dr. Whooves demanded as another heep of pain came down upon him.
"Master says to end you!!!" Derpy shouted furiously.
"End? AS IN KILL!?" Dr. Whooves' mind flowed like a wild stream of fear. "Am I going to die?! Ahhhh!!! Somebody help me!!!" Dr. Whooves let out a blood-curtling scream. "PLLEASSEEEE HELLLPPP MEEE!!!" Dr. Whooves was slowly starting to drift, into a dark abyss, that he could never get out of.
"Oh, my! Looks like your about to lose your life!" Discord's voice wandered in the chaos mist, in Dr. Whooves' head.
There was now deep wounds in Dr. Whooves' coat, he was clearly in no shape to fight off Discord's evil magic and didn't want to hurt Derpy either. His skull felt as if it were to crack in one million pieces... Derpy grabbed on to Dr. Whooves and began to choke him, her hooves around his neck, Derpy refused to let go...
"Stop! Please! Ple-... Der-p-y... St-op..." The world stopped around Dr. Whooves and he felt himself growing weak...
"MAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Derpy laughed and laughed, and clearly did not realize what she'd just done. Then, she gained control again. "Huh?! What happened...? Doctor?" She snaps out at the sight of her companion dead, at least she thought so... "NOOO!!! WHAT HAVE I DONE?! NO! DONT BE DEAD!!! Pl-eas-e..." Tears streamed down her face, and she started to stutter...
"Wh-y? WHY!!!" Derpy let out a scream so loud it could break windows. "Stupid T.A.R.D.I.S, you ruined my life!" Derpy shouted again; couldn't get over the fact that he was very likely dead...
