Ground Rules

Previous Chapter

Sunset came home the next day, with Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash following her. The Doctor, looking the same as he had yesterday, came up to her. "Good news! I managed to reconfigure your cable box, so, you'll be able to watch BBC America when ever you want! You can watch Jeremy Clarkson take the new Aston Martin out for a spin, or, see Gordon Ramsey curse at some people for bad cooking! Or, maybe, Detective Alec Hardy will finally solve the Broadchurch case!"

"Doctor, you remember Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash, don't you?"

The Doctor narrowed his eyes at them. "Oh, yes, the purple-haired one, the rainbow haired one, and the normal looking one." The Doctor strolled back into the living room, and sat down on the leather couch.

"We're simply here to set some ground rules." Rarity said.

"Why?" The Doctor asked, "What do you think I'm going to do, put them in the TARDIS, and take them to some planet, billions of miles away, just to see some alien species that could kill them at any second?"

"YES!!!" The three girls shouted simultaneously, catching the Doctor by surprise.

"Good, if you'd have said no, you'd be just like every other pudding-head on this planet." The Doctor said, bluntly.

The other girls sat down on the couch. "Alright, rule number one." Rarity began. "No taking the girls on adventure in your time machine. In fact, the farthest the can go away from the house is the backyard."

"Well, that's simple." The Doctor said. "Lock the TARDIS doors, and the outside doors, so they can't leave."

"Rule number two!" Rarity said. "No junk food."

"Wait a minute," Applejack interrupted. "No junk food, really? That's what you're worried about?"

"I don't want Sweetie Belle to gorge herself with food that makes her gain too much weight. Only vegetables, fruits, dairies, grains, and some kind of meat is acceptable. No junk food of any kind."

"Scootaloo's smart enough to not eat too much junk food."  Rainbow Dash said. "After all, how will she be able to maintain her athletic build if she has too much junk food."

"Okay!" The Doctor shouted, "no sweets, I get it! Rule number three!"

"Keep them safe." Applejack said, "Don't get them into any trouble, or have them get hurt. Please."

"I will do that." The Doctor said, "I guarantee it."

"Good." Rarity said, "Oh, and one more thing."

"Yes?"

"We've hit a slight bump, and it'll be a sleep over."

"Hold on, what?" The Doctor asked.

"Yes, I'm afraid our slight vacation has hit a snag, and is going to be extended, so the girls will have to stay here overnight." Rarity explained.

"So, I have to take care of three kids, over night, with no help?" The Doctor asked for clarification.

"Well, no," Sunset interrupted, "I should be back here by eight o' clock, so you should have some help getting them to bed."

"Oh, well, that's a saving graze." The Doctor said. "Is that all?"

"Yes, that's all." Rarity said. "Expect them here around eleven o' clock in the morning."

"Very well." The Doctor said.

The girls stood up, and headed toward the entrance. Rarity whispered to Sunset on the way out, "Keep him in check."

One they had left, the Doctor said, "Kill me know. I'll regenerate, it's fine, just kill me now."

"Something wrong?" Sunset asked.

"It's this leather couch. Once you are on it long enough, you stick to it, so once you get up, it's rather difficult." He stood up, and walked into the TARDIS. "I'll see you tomorrow."
