Intermission: New pony in town and meeting Draconaquest
"Galaxy! For Celestia's sake, get up!" Nova was shaking me just to get up. She was my twin sister, but was kind of energetic like Pinkie Pie. "Come on! Celestia sent a letter for you saying that she wants you to make more friends!" Nova said. My eyes snapped open.
"Really? After how well the whole 'Make new friends' fiasco went last week?" I asked seriously. Nova cringed. She remembered it well.
"Well Celestia said you'll know which friends you want." She said. "Besides you're going in to Ponyville today, maybe you'll make some new friends there." Nova told me. I sighed. There was no changing her mind.
"Fine, but don't expect me to be happy about it." I told her as I boarded the train into Ponyville a few hours later. Every pony in town was bustling about, doing this and that, chatting and laughing. A pony walked up to me with an orange mane and tail, a scarf, and had somewhat of a british accent to him.
“Excuse me, do you happen to have a thermo-nuclear generator at all?" He asked.
“Um…no?” I replied.
“Oh, well, of course not. No one ever does." He said, walking back into his cottage. I followed him, and gasped. Inside was a huge time machine.
“It’s bigger…” I started.
“On the inside, I am aware. Why is everybody surprised by that?” He asked.
“Well, considering that it looks smaller on the outside-“ I began before being interrupted.
“That was a rhetorical question! Do you know what rhetorical means? It means you don’t answer!” The pony yelled back. I backed up a bit.
“You’re a bit rude, you know that?” I asked.
“Yes, I’ve been told before. Maybe I’ll be less rude" he said before kicking the console, "once I get this damn thing working again!” He yelled. “Oh, sorry, my name’s Quillton. Quillton Brooks in full, but, most ponies just call me Quillton.” He smiled.
“I’m Galaxy Nebula.” I said.
“That’s a nice name. You should definitely keep it.” Quillton said.
“Um…what is this place?” I asked him.
“It’s called the TARDIS. Stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space. It can travel anywhere in Time and Space. Or, at least it used to.” He told me.
“Used to?” I asked. He nodded.
“The entire system broke down. All the lights still work, and everything there, but it lost the ability to time travel. I’m still trying to figure what happened. Not even my sonic screwdriver can detect what’s wrong with it.” Quillton explained.
“Your what?” I almost laughed when he said it. He reached into his scarf and pulled out a small device which was green at the tip, along with bronze and grey.
“My sonic screwdriver.” He said.
“It doesn’t look like a screwdriver.” I said, looking at it.
“Well, it is.” He said, placing it back in his scarf.
“Why does your time machine look like a Ponyville cottage?” I asked Quillton.
“Chameleon Circuit. It makes the TARDIS blend in with its scenery. I have a friend who had the circuit get stuck once. I still don’t know why he never fixed it.” He explained. “I’m bored. Let’s do something!” He said as he ran outside, me right behind him.
“But, we just met.” I said.
“Yes we did.” He told me.
“Why would you just do some random thing with some random pony?” I asked him. He groaned.
“Like I said, I’m bored. So, what were you doing?” Quillton asked me.
“What do you mean, what was I doing?” I asked, curious.
“Judging by the look on your face when I first approached you, you were irritated with something, meaning perhaps, you had a job of some kind. What was it?” He asked me.
“I got a letter from Princess Celestia telling me that I needed to make some friends.” I told him.
“Princess Celestia? My, my, you do have good connections.” He smiled.
“How could you tell I was irritated?” I said, clearly intrigued by him.
“Like I said, you had an irritating look on your face. I have a knack for figuring things out, just by observations.” Quest told me.
“Really? Like what?” I asked, unconvinced now. Quillton smiled.
“On the back of your Stetson is an engraving, saying ‘From Nova to Galaxy.’ I’m guessing she’s your sister, judging by your facial reaction when I said her name." He told me. I was surprised. "Your watch has scuffing on the face, possibly by being on when you swim with it, considering a small amount of water has leaked inside the face. There’s still a bit of shampoo in your mane, most likely from your shower this morning, meaning you were in a rush, and there’s a small bit of bagel in your teeth, from your breakfast. Anything else?” He asked.
“No.” I said, stunned.
“In that case, Allons-y!” He laughed before wandering off, me following him.
Chapter 1: FelineFluff: the energetic one
"Quillton! Wait!" I called after him. He stopped. I panted heavily. "I'm....not.....that...much...of a runner." I said in between breaths.
"Oh then you have got to get out more." Quillton told me. "What did you do all your life, anyway?" He asked.
"Generally?" I replied. "Hiding. Hiding from a mysterious pony who wants me and my two sisters dead. Crimson Ink is my other sister, youngest of the bunch. 14 is her age. Very hyperactive." I told him. He nodded.
"So you're an older brother." Quillton guessed. I nodded. Then, a bubbly voice called out from behind us.
"Hiya!" The voice belonged to a pink pegasus with blue eyes, a blue, brown and black mane and tail, and a cat face for her cutie mark. She couldn't be a day over 19. "My name's FelineFluff, but you can call me Feline!" She squee'd.
"Hello, I'm Quillton Brooks, and this is....." Quillton started before Feline gasped.
"Oh....my....GOSH!!!!!" She squealed in delight. "Galaxy Nebula!!! The son of the legendary Hyper Nebula of the Wonderbolts!" Feline squealed again. I was shocked she even knew my name.
"Well, somepony's famous." Quillton smirked.
"Oh shut up." I told him. He laughed, and as he did, dropped his screwdriver. Feline eyed it.
"What's this thing?" She asked, picking it up. Quillton yelped.
"Ah! careful with that! That's a very delicate instrument!" He told her. She extended it by accident.
"What's it even do?" Feline asked, unintentionally opening a lock behind her. "Oops." She smiled nervously. Quillton face hoofed.
"I told you to be...." He started before a streak of rainbow flew right by him. "Whoa! That was Rainbow Dash!" He said. I gasped.
"Rainbow Dash? As in the Rainbow Dash?!" I asked. "Oh my gosh, my number one pony idol!" I laughed in delight. Feline was confused.
"Dashie is your pony idol?" She asked. I nodded.
"Not just my idol, but also my crush." I said. Quillton smirked.
"You're crushing on the Rainbow Dash, fastest pony in all of Equestria, lead pony of the Wonderbolts, and the Element of Loyalty?" He asked.
