Ditzy
"Run Ditzy, quick before they catch up."
"I'm running as fast I can."
"Well, run faster."
"EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE!"
1 week earlier-Morning
It was a nice, clear skied evening like any ordinary day in ponyville. The birds were chirping, the ponies were getting along, it was quiet, and blissful.
Derpy Hooves, an average pony in ponyville, well, in a way she was a tad less average than a normal pony. She has a condition which makes here have crossed-eyes, but she's perfectly normal in all the other ways. Her eyes and mane are a light shade of yellow and her coat is a light sapphire bluish gray, it made her bright yellow features stand out more. She's a rather happy and cheerful pony.
Nothing really bothered her, she was care free, she just lived her life without any care in the world. Even with her condition it didn't stop her from being like the other ponies in ponyville or anywhere, she learned how to control her problem. She says she can actually see with both eyes and doesn't have any type of other problems with them.
Regardless of the fact, lots of ponies treat her differently and some fillies made fun of her, but Derpy thought there was a silver lining to everything. She said without her crossed-eyed condition she wouldn't get her muffins half off. Everyday she would always buy a blueberry muffin either when she was going to or coming from work. She didn't let her eyes get in the way of her life. So she got a job she very much enjoyed doing, after being fired from her other ones.
She had been in a steady job and planned to keep it. This job was the only thing keeping a roof over her head every night. She works as a mail mare, but sometimes even simple tasks were very difficult for her. Ocasionally, she'd loss mail, hand it to the wrong pony, or she'd leave her bag in her home, a part from those mistakes she does pretty well.
She has been going to work everyday now, on time of course, she realized that she had a responsibility to take of. She takes her time when she delivers mail because there wasn't any type of competition in the mail industry, so she just works at her own pace. After all, ponyville isn't a big place, there wouldn't be any reason to have any competing business in such a remote place.
When she arrived to work she would always do the same routine when delivering mail. She would deliver mail to houses and ponies closest to her and then she would start working herself around ponyville. She would see many kinds of ponies when she was on her shift. When her shift was over she would always end up in the farthest side of ponyville. It was still about an hour walk back, after all ponyville wasn't a big place.
After she was done with work she would go home, it's a long walk home from her job. She prefers to walk rather than fly, because she is afraid she might crash into something and create a mess or start problems.
When she walks back home she takes in all the bliss, nopony was around, pure silence. The only sound that was hear was the wind, and the leaves that shuffle together when the wind blew a cool breeze, it was peaceful.
Shorlty after, she arrived at home, barely making a sound all day. She sets her mail bag on the nearby chair . She had to carry that bag all day, it's really heavy and bothersome, but it's her job and she just needs to suck it up and deal with it. But on the bright side when the bag isn't full she is able to put a muffin or two in there and eat it when she walked to the post office.
Derpy's stomach rumbled. All this muffin talk made her hungry. She quickly went upstairs, opened her room door, and swiftly took her uniform off and hung it on a plastic hanger. She took the uniform and put it in her closet. Whenever the post office hired new employees they would be given a complamentary uniform so they can tell the difference between a costumer or an employee.
After putting her uniform in the closet she went downstairs to see if she would be able to find something to eat. Her stomach rumbles again as she went into the kitchen. She saw a muffin on the table, she had to resist eating it because that was going to be her breakfast fro tomorrow.
"Man, I'm hungry." She opened the fridge.
She looks inside hoping to find something to eat, but there was nothing. She turned around and looked at the muffin that was on the table, it was a blueberry muffin, her favorite. She was going to save it for tomorrow, but she couldn't resist, it looked delicious and she was so hungry. She looked around her own home, oddly enough, hoping that nopony was watching her. There was nopony in view and took a massive bite of her muffin.
"Well, there goes tomorrow's breakfast."
She went upstairs to the bathroom to wash the crumbs off her mouth. She takes the opportunity to take a nice, relaxing bath. She turned the hot water on and waited a good 5 minutes before the tub was full. She went in slowly, the water was nice and warm. After she was completle in the tub she looked around and grab a rubber ducky that was nearby.
The rubber ducky was her favorite bath toy, her mother gave it to her when she was a filly. She would let the toy float in the water and she pushed it every now and then so it can look like it's swimming.
She spend a good 15 minutes taking a bath. She got out of the tub, then she dried her mane, her coat, and she even brushed her mane afterwords. She enjoyed combing her hair, her mother would always do it for her every now and then when she was a filly. Something tragic happened to her parents which resulted in her to live and provided for herself. She didn't like talking about it and over time accepted that her parents weren't coming back, she thought that her parents didn't want her to be sad and keep going with her own life.
It was nine O' clock, she decided it would be best if she got some rest from all the hard work she did today. She went to her room and walk towards her bed, slowly crawled in bed, slowly laid down. She enjoyed every second of it. It was amazing how all the stress she build up over the day was all gone in a matter of seconds.
She layed in her bed thinking to herself, how everyday would be diffrent if her parents were with her, how it's the same old boring routine over and over, day after day, the same route everyday. She wished that something different happened. She was thinking of take the secondary route instead of the primaray one.
The secondary route isn't used by male mares because there were barely any houses there and most of the houses weren't even subscribed to the daily newspaper. Derpy slowly closed her eyes, thinking how everything would be if things changed up a bit, everything would be diffrent. Her vision slowly was turned dark, she closed her eyes. In an instant, she fell asleep.
Next Day
*beep beep* *beep beep* *beep beep*
"Hmm..." Derpy said. She looks to side where the clock was and set it off, she looked at the time, she couldn't believe what time it was. It was already eleven O' clock, she's late to work.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, how is this even possible." She says to herself, she went to bed early yesterday, she wasn't suppose to be late to work.
"Ooohh mmyyy ggoosshh, the boss is going to kill me." she says reaching for her uniform that was in her closet and putting it as fast as possible. She ran out the front door, without a care in the world. She didn't eat, she didn't clean her face or her room before she left. She looked like a slob, but she was super late, and it's about an hour walk from her home to her job. She only had one option if she didn't want to be anymore late than she already is.
"I hope nothing bad happens." She said.
She proned and move her legs slightly back, it looked like she was about to start running. She extended her wings wide open. With one giant flap she soared up into the sky. She started to fly as fast and as careful as possible. She didn't want to get into any problems, especially not today.
She flew for her life, literally, this was the only job she had and the pay wasn't that bad either. She flapped her wings every now and then so she can gain more speed. The mail post was in view, she can see it from where she was, everything seemed fine.
All that was left was to land. She stared to descend to the ground, but, suddenly, she retracted her wings completely and she was going to crash to the ground, suddenly a carriage full of hay passed by. She was going to crash in hay, at least it wasn't going to hurt, well, not as much as the ground.
She crashed face first in the hay, she pocked her head out and saw the mail post, it wasn't as far anymore. She decided to run for it. She was a mess when she arrived, her uniform was torn up and her mane and coat was covered in hay.
"I'm here!" She screamed out. Her boss was in the front door waiting for her.
"Derpy..." He said looking at his employee's appearance.
" ... Why are you two hours late." he said seriously.
"I-I-I over sleeped" Derpy said lowering her head.
Quickly lifting her head she said, "But I'm here now and I'm ready to work." With a big smile on her face.
"Really your ready to work, then... where's your mail bag."
"My mailbag? Oh no, I-I-I left it home. Only because I was in such a hurry." She said remembering she left her bag on the chair.
"I don't want to hear it Derpy, what kind of mail mare are you if YOU LEFT YOUR MAIL BAG AT HOME!" He said raising his voice.
"You have failed me so many times, Derpy. I hate to do this, but your fired. Get all your things and go, your done."
Later that evening
All Derpy can think about when she's walking home is her getting fired. She started to cry when she left the mail post. She couldn't do anything about it anymore, she just started to cry. She was thinking what could have lead to this, this was all her fault. She wiped her tears away and decides she isn't going to cry anymore.
"No, I'm not gonna cry anymore." She said to herself.
"I asked for a change and I'm going to make the best of it." She started the wipe away her tears.
*BBOOOOOMM*
Derpy Shrieked from the loud noise. She didn't know what just happened.
"What was that noise?"
In a split second there was smoke and debris everywhere. Luckily, nopony was around other than herself, nopony got injuried.
After a couple of minutes the smoke cleared up a bit. She said she was able to see something in the smoke. She was able to make out what looked like some sort of box. It was just a box, no box can take a crash and not even be scratched.
All of the smoke finally cleared and the box was even more visible. It was blue and tall. Derpy saw a plack on top of the box that read 'Police Public Call Box'. Derpy thought it was peculiar, she never saw anything like it. The object was oddly shaped as well. The height was longer than the width, meaning nopony would be able to fit inside it.
She slowly walked to the blue box. She was careful, she tried to look at her steps while she was walking so she wouldn't step on any of debris that was scattered everywhere from the crash. The box was a few inches under the ground, it was amazing how it didn't have a single scratch. She didn't know what to expect, there could have been an alien or a monster.
She looked in the sky to see if anything else was going to fall or if anything at all is up there. She saw that it was all clear and focused all her attention to the crashed object. Wiping the rest of her tears away she got a closer look of the box. She looks around to see if anypony was nearby, but nopony was around.
"Umm... " she started to carefully knock on the box that looks like a door.
"Hello anypony in there? Please let it be a pony." The door opened swiftly and a cloud of smoke came out. She saw a figure in the smoke, it was slowly approaching.
She layed down on the ground, "Oh my gosh, it's an alien, it has to be an alien, please don't eat me. I'm not delicious, all I eat is muffins. Wait, muffins ARE delicious. Please don't eat me." She said closing both her eyes with her hooves.
A brown stallion popped his head out.
"Oh my, it a stallion, thank Celestia." relieved that it wasn't a monster.
"Umm...Excuse me, but are you ok?" She says to the stallion that popped out of the crashed 'box'. The brown stallion carefully walked out of the box and stepped on the ground.
"Hmm... Let me see..." he said and did a quick turn, getting used to the four legs. He started moving his tongue in his mouth for some reason. After he analyzed himself he turned back to Derpy.
"...nope." he said before collapsing on the ground.
"Hey, hey, don't go to sleep right after you just crashed." She said running to his side, she notice that he was unconscious. She wasn't going to get any answers until he woke up.
Derpy's house
"Aww...my head. Where am I?" He said feeling a slight pain in the back of his head and all over his body. He got up and started to snoop around quietly. He stood up staight and took a big gulp of air. He got aware of his surroundings. He was surprised from what he saw, a large number collection of muffin styled knick-knacks. Everything varied from muffin styled slippers, muffin styled curtains, muffin styled sheets, and that wasnt even the beginning of it.
He heard noise coming from downstairs so he proceeded to carefully find his way down. Trying to be as quiet as possible, he notice that Derpy was in the living room watching t.v. and eating a blueberry muffin. She looked like not thing happened earlier, she just watch t.v. She very much enjoyed watching television and eating muffin, it was her favorite hobby, apart from finding muffin styled goods.
The brown stallion walked down the stairs and asked, "Where am I, this doesn't look like the tardis. The last thing I remembered is that I was running, but from what. What could it have it been, I don't seem to remember, wait...nah that's not it."
After was done talking to himself he said "Where's the tardis."
"The tardis? Oh, you mean that blue box thing you where in when you crashed. It's where you left it, I made sure it was locked when I dragged you back here." She said. She didn't know this guy, but Derpy wasn't the kind of pony to leave an injured pony helpless and by themself no less. Derpy stayed calm and let the pony ask questions until it was her turn to ask him questions.
"Can I ask what's your name?" Derpy asked the brown stallion.
"My name, aw yes my name. I'm 'The Doctor'." He said.
"Doctor? Doctor what?"
"Nothing, Just 'The Doctor'." He said. "Now, can I ask a question."
"Uh, yeah, sure." Derpy said.
"Don't take this offensively, alright, but what's wrong with your eyes, they don't seem normal."
"Oh it's ok, I get that question a lot. It's a condition I got when I was a little filly." She said talking about her crossed-eyes.
"Oh, I-I'm sorry I didn't know."
"Oh, no, it's fine, really. My always mom said if you're different from the others you're bound to be special."
"Yeah, I guess she's right, in a way. Do I mind asking what your name is?"
"Everyone calls me Derpy, Derpy Hooves."
"Derpy Hooves? Why do they call you that?" He asked curiously.
"That's what everypony called me when I was a little filly, in school they would call me Derpy because of my eyes and I was so clumsy, and that's how they came up with my name."
"No, no, no, that name won't do. A lady such as yourself shouldn't have a name such as Derpy. Now, you said you were clumsy."
"Yeah, ever since I was a filly. My clumsiness sticked with me 'till now."
"Ditzy."
"Huh?"
"I'll call you Ditzy."
Derpy blushed slightly,"Hmm... has a nice ring to it. Yeah, from now on I'm Ditzy." It took her a while to get used to the change.
"Yeah, ok. Nice to meet you Ditzy, I'm The Doctor."
This isn't what Derpy was expecting her day to go, but then again she did ask for change. This could a nice start, after all she needed something to get her mind off of getting fired from her only job. That didn't matter right now though. Nopony has every treated her like a normal pony before. The old Derpy was gone and replaced with Ditzy.
With a big smile on her face she said,"Nice to meet you Doctor."
The Beginning of The World
"Well, it seems like it's getting dark and my tardis isn't with me. So it looks like I'll be your guest for the night." The doctor said in a cheerful tone.
"Wait, wait, wait, you can stay over. I only have one bed in the whole house."
"Oh that's fine, we'll just sleep in the same bed. That's not a problem is it." The Doctor said.
"Problem! It's a giant problem!" Ditzy shouted at the Doctor.
"Oh, nonsense." The Doctor said, as he commenced to walk to Ditzy's rooms.
"No, no, no, no..." She repeated as she quickly ran up stairs, pushing the doctor to the side and running passed him. She blocked her bedroom door with her body. "You can't come in!" Ditzy declared.
"What, why not, the bed seemed big enough for two ponies." The Doctor stated.
"That's not the point." Ditzy's cheeks reddened. "I never had a pony over before, specifically a male one." Her cheeks became even more red then before.
"Ahhh, don't worry, nothing bad will happen." He said moving Ditzy to the side. He opened the door to her room and went inside. "See, big enough for two ponies." He said pointing at the bed while he looked at Ditzy. "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm getting some sleep." The Doctor said.
He crawled in bed and covered himself with the blanket that was lying on the floor. Ditzy didn't know what to do, she had no choice to sleep in bed with the mare. Either that or it was the couch downstairs, but it was really cold, especially in the night.
"It's just until you get your box back and then your gone, am I clear." Ditzy said while she crawled in bed next to the Doctor.
"As a bell." The Doctor said before yawning. They both went to sleep moment later.
The Next Day
Ditzy got up early, she had to so she wouldn't be late for her job. But seeing as she got fired she used the opportunity to buy muffins for breakfast. "Hey doc, I'm going out to buy muffins." Ditzy yelled from the front door. "What kind do you want."
The Doctor walked down the stairs. His hair was a mess, it looked as bad as twilight's when she wakes up. "I'll have an English muffin with butter." He ordered.
"Ew, you want an English muffin?" Ditzy said. "That's not a muffin." She added.
"Well, if you don't want me to get it you shouldn't have ask what I wanted." The Doctor said.
"Ok, one English muffin coming up." She said in a grossed tone. "I'll be back as soon as possible."
"How about I just go with you. It would be nice to look around." He said. "Plus, I'm not going to stay for long. Once my machine is fixed I'm off."
"Sure, it's whatever you want to do." Ditzy said while she looked for her bag.
Sugarcube Corner
Ditzy hardly said anything while they were walking to Sugarcube corner. She let the Doctor talk the whole time, and most of the time Ditzy couldn't comprehend a single thing he said, he talks way too fast without taking a breath. He reminds her of a certain pony she knew.
When they arrived at Sugarcube Corner the Doctor held the door open for Ditzy. Either though he couldn't stay quiet he is quite the gentlecolt. "Thank you." Ditzy said gratefully. The Doctor replied with a nod, he closed the doors behind him.
"Wow this place looks... colorful." The Doctor said. He looked at the decor. "I never seen so much pink in one place." He added to his statement.
"You can say that again." A pink mare poked her head from the opposite side of the counter. It was Pinkie Pie, the most cheerful pony in all of Ponyville. "How can I help you today."
"Good morning Pinkie." Ditzy greeted her. She walked closer to the counter so she can give Pinkie her order.
"Oh, good morning, Derpy."
"Ditzy." The Doctor quickly cut off the pink pony. "Her name is Ditzy."
"Oh, wow. You have a new name, since when." Pinkie said cheerfully and loudly.
"Yesterday, apparently." Ditzy replied.
Pinkie pie was really excited, "and who's this pony here?"
"Umm... This is the Doctor, he's...my friend." Ditzy honestly didn't know the answer.
Oddly enough the Doctor was staying quiet for quite a while. Ditzy turned around to see the Doctor aggressively squinting at the pink pony. He was acting strange and Ditzy saw it from the look in his eyes.
"Well, can I get a blueberry muffin, and an English muffin." Ditzy said finally giving Pinkie pie her order.
"With butter!" The Doctor shouted out. He practically got everyponies attention.
After a few minutes of waiting Pinkie Pie came back with a big, brown, paper bag with what they ordered inside. Ditzy thanked her for the goods.
Pinkie replied with a big cheer, "Bye Derp-. I mean, Bye Ditzy." She said as she saw the two ponies walk out of the store. "Wow, that has a nice ring to it." She added.
The walk back
Ditzy and the Doctor commenced their way back home. Ditzy took this opportunity to ask the Doctor a couple of questions. "So, Doc, I couldn't help but notice your english accent and I was wondering where you're from." Ditzy asked.
"Well, lets just say my home is very, very far away." The Doctor replied. "But I decided to move away."
"Why did you move away." Ditzy said putting the paper bag in her saddlebag. "I mean somepony won't move away from their home without a reason."
"I left for reasons. I really shouldn't be talking to you about this." The Doctor said. "How about you, were you born here?"
"Yeah, I lived with my parents. Until I started to live by myself." Ditzy answered.
They could have talked for hours and hours, but Ditzy's house wasn't to far. After half an hour of walking they arrived at Ditzy's front porch. Ditzy opened the doors and invited the Doctor in. Ditzy walk in while the Doctor followed closely behind.
She went into the kitchen where she took the paper bag out of her bag and set it in the kitchen table. "Alright, let's dig in." She pulled her muffin out of the bag with her mouth and setting it on a plate. "Do you want milk or something with your muffin." She said offering a drink to her... roommate.
"Umm... do you have tea?" The Doctor asked.
"Tea? Why would I have tea." Ditzy shouted, throwing her arms in the air. "Muffins..." She pointed at her muffin, "... don't go with tea."
"Right, I guess, I'll get milk then." The Doctor said l, changing his mind.
The two roommates took their goods and refreshments and made their way to the living room. They sat on the couch and watched television. They spend half an hour munching down their food and watching Ditzy's favorite show. It was about to two friends and how they had adventures and talked about their hilarious, ordinary life. Ditzy always broke down in laughter, either though it was targeted for kids. Despite what others said she continued to watch new episodes that aired every week.
"Well, Ditzy, it was a blast, but I think I should be off now." The Doctor got up from the couch. "Would you like to accompany me to my box."
"Uhhh...sure" Ditzy said.
They started their walk to the Doc's box. Ditzy took this opportunity to ask a question before he left.
"What are you, Doc, really? I know your not a pony." They both stopped walking.
The Doctor's happy-go-lucky smile slowly disappeared from his face. He didn't turn around, his view stayed stayed constant to the direction he was walking.
"That day, when I first meet you and I dragged you to my home, I realized you weren't a normal pony." She said. "When I checked if you were still alive I found out you had two working hearts. Can you explain to me what that is all about?" Ditzy wanted answers before the Doc left.
"Your right. I'm not like the rest of you ponies." He turned around and looked at Ditzy. "I have something to confess." Ditzy didn't move an inch, she was about to hear the answers she was looking for. "I'm a timelord."
"Timelord?" Ditzy said. "Wow, does that mean your a time traveling pony." Ditzy shouted in excitement.
"Precisely." He said proudly.
"Then that tardis thing must be your time machine." Ditzy said excitedly until she cut herself off. "Wait, if you a time traveler, then why did you come to ponyville of all places?"
"The tardis sent me here to stop an event that mustn't occur or this world and it's creatures will die." He said, still with the same proud and cheery tone. "But nothing happened and everything seems to be going fine." He said rubbing his chin. "So, I might as well be off."
After walking for so long the tardis was in view, the remainder of the walk they both stayed quiet. Neither one making a sound except for their hooves hitting the ground with every step they took. It was surprisingly awkward. By the time they got to the tardis they had nothing else to say but their goodbyes.
"Well, assistant." He said. He made his back straighter than it already was, "It's back to London."
"London?" Ditzy said in confusion. Of course she would be confused, she hasn't even heard of such a place.
"Yes." The Doctor said happily. "Ahh, London, what a magical place. No horses there, well, no talking ones at least." He went on and on about humans and how amazing they were, but remembered he was still in the ponyville. "Right, I shouldn't be keeping you. I'll be off now."
The Doctor opened the tardis door and closed it when he got inside. Ditzy couldn't believe that she meet a time traveling pony, but he was about to leave.
"Doctor!" Ditzy screamed.
The Doctor peaked his head outside the door, "Yes." He said in a joking manner. The Doctor didn't take this as serious as Ditzy was.
"Doctor." Ditzy said. "Am I... am I ever going to see you again." Ditzy said. Her eyes were wide and a bit watery. It almost looked like she was about to cry.
The Doctor got out of the tardis so he can answer her question seriously.
"No." He was so straightforward. "We only meet by chance. It was a one out a googolplexian chance we'll ever meet again." He said. "But, if it wasn't for the tardis I wouldnt have meet you. And if I didn't meet you then you wouldn't have been my companion, right?" He said trying to cheer Ditzy up.
"Right." Ditzy was looking down, she wiped her face with her hoof, she was about to cry. "Well, then I guess this is it."
"It is." He took a quick peak inside the tardis. "Oh my, I have to go Ditzy. If I don't I won't be able to get back." He lied. He didn't want to make this anymore painful than it already was. "Ditzy..." He looked at Ditzy for the last time. "...remember you'll always be my companion."
He quickly went back into his box and shut the door. The Doctor was a coward, whenever he got himself into a situation he couldn't solve he always ran to his time traveling box and hid himself. While Ditzy was on the other side probably watering her eyes out and all he could do to make her pain lessen was to leave.
"Doctor!" The Doctor heard Ditzy scream out for him from the other side of the door. "And you'll always be my Doctor." The Doctor couldn't help but giggly a bit. He wiped his eyes and moved to the control panel.
"Lodon, here I come."
A week later
Ditzy was walking to sugarcube corner, she decided to buy blueberry muffins for breakfast. The past few days was hard on her. For about a week she's been looking for a job that is best suited for pony like her. It was a troubling time for her, she needs to pay a ton load of bill and taxes for her house and her not having a job didn't help.
A week ago almost around this time the Doctor left. After he went in to his box he vanished, into thin air. It was amazing, it was like he wasn't even here. Ditzy was walking the rocky road when suddenly she heard a loud screeching noise that kind of sounded like trumpets rubbing against each other.
Ditzy decided to check what it was. Never in her life in ponyville has she heard a sound like that. She walked to the direction where the noise was coming from. After a minute the sound had stop. She looked around to see if she was able to see anything. She looked at her surroundings and didn't find anything that would make that sound.
"Probably my imagination." She said to herself. She tried to find her way back to the path that lead to ponyville. She wandered the forest for a while, trying to find her way back. She saw something from the corner of her.
She quickly looked at it, it couldn't be, he said it wasn't possible. Ditzy saw the tardis it was back, just like how it was back then. Ditzy ran towards it, she was going to see him again. She got closer to the tardis, she heard something move inside.
The door quickly opened and the Doctor jumped out and yelled, "Hello, London, it's good to be back!"
Ditzy was confused and also happy at the same time for some reason. "DOCTOR!" Ditzy couldn't help but scream out his name.
"Ditzy?" The Doctor was confused.
"Doctor, it's been a week since I saw you." Ditzy gave him a giant hug.
"It's been a few seconds since I saw you."
"What?" Ditzy was confused almost as much as the Doctor. "That's really hard to believe, you know, since it's been a week." She added.
"Ditzy." He said getting the confused pony's attention. "Time traveler, remember." He said reminding her that he wasn't the same as the other ponies.
"Right." She said. "Still, that's kinda...creepy." She could have sworn it's been a week when they last saw each other. But, the Doctor said it was a few seconds, that was so hard to process. "Ow, just thinking about this hurts my head. It's still really hard to understand all this."
He couldn't find any other simple way to explain it to her. Off the top of his head he thought of one simple way. "How about I show you."
"What?" She was confused. " Show me what?" Ditzy asked.
"Im going to show you how my time machine works." He said. "But, It's not my choice, it's yours."
Ditzy wasn't going to let this opportunity go by, "I-I wanna see." She said.
"Come on in." He moved to the side so he can let Ditzy in.
Ditzy couldn't believe what she saw, it was bigger from the inside. Apart from being huge it was surprisingly empty. The only object that didn't make the tardis fully empty was the control panel that was in the center. There was a ton of buttons and switchs on it.
"Why did you come back? I thought you said you weren't coming back."
"I never left." He said walking inside and closing the door. He went to the controls, "It seems the tardis sent me further in time."
"So, you traveled to the future." Ditzy said.
"Precisely. The tardis isn't allowing me to go back to my home. It seems the tardis send me closer to the event I was originally suppose to stop." He explained. "Looks like there's no helping it, I have to stop whatever the event is going to be."
He turned away from the controls and looked at Ditzy, "Putting that aside, what do you want to see." He said.
"What do you mean?" Ditzy asked.
"We're in a time machine, so what do you want to see." Restating his question.
"Suprise me." She said calling out the Doctor's bluff.
"Fine, how about I show you the beginning of your world." The Doctor faced the control panel. It looked like he was pressing random buttons, it seemed like he didn't even know how to control his own time machine.
The tardis started to violently shake, it felt like they were in the middle of a earthquake. After a while the rumbling stopped.
The Doctor shifted to the door, "Want to see what's on the other side of this door." He said pointing at the door. Ditzy moved next to the Doctor, who know what she might see if he wasn't lying.
The Doctor opened the doors slowly, so Ditzy won't be startled. What she saw was astonishing. In whole life she was never able to see as clear as she did at that moment.
"We-we're in space. We're actually in space." She was touched by what she saw.
"Yes, we are." He looked outside, at the vastness of outer space.
"How are we still breathing?" Ditzy asked.
"The tardis is providing oxygen for the both of us, as long as we are in here we'll be fine." The Doctor answered.
"Wow." Ditzy was speechless. "This is..."
"Amazing." He cut her off. "I know." He said "See that. Over there." He pointed out a object.
"You mean that big rock." Ditzy said.
"It's a giant clump of dust and gas, Ditzy. That's your planet. In a couple centuries it's going to expand ten fold. After it's big enough life will be born. After that it will reproduce. And after that there will be more living things, trees, grass, and other things will take over the new world." He said. "It's amazing, really. It sounds so simple, but it's far from it."
"How do you know all this Doctor." Ditzy asked.
"If you were a timelord, like myself, you would see stars, galaxies, planets, black holes, supernovas, all the time."
Ditzy looked at the Doctor's eyes and saw emptiness, just like darkness of outer space. "Doc." Ditzy said getting his attention. "Are you lonely."
The Doctor didn't reply, he didn't even move a muscle. Ditzy was heartbroken, the Doctor saw all these cool and amazing things, but he wouldn't have anypony to talk about it with. It must be sad to have to say a lot, but no pony to tell it to.
"Don't worry Doc, I'll be your companion. Always." She said leaning next to the Doctor. "Always... till the end of time." They both watched the outer space, the sun, the stars. It was beautiful.
"Thank you Ditzy." He said quietly.
