Twilight's Castle

1:13 PM


"Who is he? Why was he in the T.A.R.D.I.S? And most importantly, why is he an Alicorn?" Twilight had known The Doctor, she had traveled with him and seen the stars. She absolutely loved it. But now, this impostor was laying on her couch, in her castle. An impostor who fell out of the T.A.R.D.I.S, and knew her name.

"I don't know Twi', but whatever happened to this, 'Doctor' of yours, this stranger should know what it was that happened." Applejack said with full confidence, that the answers would come to them in due time. She knew the impostor would know what happened, and if he didn't, well, she didn't know that part yet. "We'll find out what happened."

Rainbow Dash was looking at the stranger with a hoof to her chin, she knew something was wrong, and she didn't like it. "I say we tie him up and interrogate em'!" She said with a sudden outburst. "He must know something about what happened! He might be a spy sent by Ahuizotl himself!"

"Hmm, he looks quite dashing and regal though, but I feel the need to make specialized clothing for him, even if he's a stranger." Rarity looked him over with sincere interest, and came to a conclusion. He sure is an eye catcher isn't he? Hehe. "I've never seen him before though. That's the problem. Most of royalty has been seen by everypony in Equestria, but I have never seen him with the other regals before..."

"Do you think he likes parties?! I need to throw a 'Welcome to Ponyville party! Or, better yet, if he's an Alien, I can thow him a 'Welcome to Equis Party!" gasp "I'll be back when the party is set up! Don't hurt him, okay Rainbow? Oh I know you won't! Hehe!" And with that, Pinkie was gone, and Rainbow was left dumbfounded.

Twilight was finishing putting a hot rag on the stranger's forehead and continued to examine him once more."Whoever he is, he needs some rest. He seemed to be in pain when he came out of the T.A.R.D.I.S. I wonder what happened? For that matter, what happened to the T.A.R.D.I.S? Ugh, so many questions all at once, but I think I should test out this one." With that, she took a deep breath, "Doctor?"

A sudden gasp filled the room and was gasping for air in panic. The stranger woke up at full attention as he heard his name. "Wha-what is it!?" *gasp* "Am I needed!? Did I miss anything important!?" The Doctor finally caught his breath from his sudden awakening. He looked around the room in astonishment. "Where... am I? A Crystal Room? Am I in the Crystal Empire again? I could have sworn I had landed someplace else. I remember seeing Twi-" The Doctor's eyes then found their way to the velvet mare in front of him. "Oh, hello Twilight. Fancy seeing you here."

"Uhm... hello? Doctor? Is... that you?"

"Yes, yes, it's me. Who else would it be?" I'd rather not think of the possibilities "What? You don't recognize me?" The Doctor pleaded.

"No, I don't. The Doctor I knew was brown with combed back spiked hair. You look nothing like him. I would say that you're an impostor, but I'm giving you the chance to prove yourself by asking a question." She replied.

"Alright... and I take it that it will be a question that only The Doctor would know about?"

Twilight then nodded and stomped her forehoof on the ground. "Yes. The question is, what happened on the day that The Doctor first arrived in Equestria?"

The Doctor then perked his ears up with a smirk, "Oh that's easy. I crashed into your library, called you many different variations of your name, the first on being 'Midnight Twinkle', and I remember you being very cross with me every time I messed it up. I then passed out and fell onto the floor, in which you dragged me up onto your couch..." How familiar "... woke me because of my two hearts, then I fell back asleep, and then you fell asleep in your bed. During the night, I repaired your library, made breakfast, left you a note warning you about the Weeping Angels, and then went back to sleep, or a small coma on your couch. When you were eating the breakfast, Pinkie Pie came in and questioned why I was sleeping. When you encountered the Weeping Angels, Pinkie knew what to do, even though she didn't read the letter..." Oddly enough "... And then you, Spike, and Pinkie were cornered against the couch and then, you woke me up because you needed my help. Then for the rest of the day we worked up a plan and stopped the Angels."

Twilight was then left dumbfounded for a solid 2 minutes, processing what had just happened. Her head was reeling, and her mind was blown. Nopony else could possibly remember it in that much detail. Not even she remembered it that well.

"How- wait- what- huh!?" You really are The Doctor!"

"The one and only!"

Twilight then looked over him with complete interest and curiosity. She was surprised that this was The Doctor. She still had many questions left unanswered, and decided that she should ask one.

"Doctor? What happened?"

The Doctor was confused by this question. "What do you mean Twilight?"

"Why do you look different, and how did it happen?"

"Oh, right, yes. That. Uh, well first off, for why I look different, have I never told you about regeneration?"

Twilight then shook her head no.

He then went on to explain to her what regeneration was. "Ah, well regeneration is sort of a way of.... cheating death. I don't die, but whatever I was before, is changed in the process. I get a new face and personality, but the goals I set out to do, stay the same. I'm still the Doctor because of that. I still help people. But since my regeneration was recent, I don't know what kind of pony I am. I don't know what I like to eat, what my fashion style is, how I deal with danger, whether I like parties or not, hehe, and other things like that. You get the jist?"

"Kind of, but what made you regenerate?" Twilight asked.

"Hmm... You know what? I don't remember." He answered.

sigh "Alright."

"Darling, did I ever say, you look very regal with your new appearance." Rarity spoke up.

"Regal? What makes my look regal?" He then looked over his body once more, but couldn't find anything that made him look 'regal'.

Rarity then pointed out his wings and horn with a slight smirk on her face. "You're an Alicorn darling. The only Alicorns in Equestria are ones of royalty and grace!"

"Is that so. Hmm... Uhm, what is she doing?" He then pointed to what was behind Twilight that was catching his attention.

Twilight and Rarity turned to find Rainbow Dash behind a chair with rope in her hooves.

"Do we need to use these?" Rainbow asked.

"NO" The three shouted to the cyan mare.
