Four Ponies & A Time Machine

by SkelePone
When Time Turner and three friends (or not-friends) drunkenly shoot themselves back in time, they have to find their way back home through history, magic, and science. Obstacles like angry farmers, nightmare kings, and Classical-era pub fights.

FOUR PONIES & A TIME MACHINE
by SkelePone


WARNING: Excessive use of alcohol. Foul language. Some sexual activity and innuendos in later chapters. Not a clopfic, no explicit sex scenes. This is NOT a crossover. I have the firm belief that Time Turner is not the Doctor from Doctor Who. Sure, "the Doctor" can be his nickname, like in this story. But he's just an inventor and a time traveler. Doctor Who, Back To The Future, and The Time Machine references galore, but only references and nods.


BONUS MATERIAL BELOW!


THE CREW OF THE TROTIS
Dr. Time Turner. A genius and an inventor. He had successfully built a working time machine, dubbed the TROTIS, which is questionable in its operation.
Derpy Hooves. A klutz and a mailmare. She is hopelessly smitten with Time Turner, her best friend. She hopes to one day proclaim her love to him.
Roseluck. A flower pony and a fiery mare. She too is grasping for the affections of Time Turner. Or so she thinks, until something happens to change her mind.
Carnegie Porter. A drunkard and a brewer. We're not too sure what he's doing here. Pretty sure he doesn't know either. Did we mention he's drunk? Oh he's more than just drunk. He's absolutely wasted.
Together? They will transverse across time, space, and each other in an endearing quest into the unknown and back to their home. Ladies and gentlecolts, get ready for the carriage ride of your life.

Carnegie Porter is indeed an OC made for me and refined into a character BY me. Use of Carnegie Porter is permitted in other stories, but I must be credited as his owner in the description.
Also, if anyone feels like drawing any artwork, just send a sketch my way, via email (steampunk.the.earth.pony@gmail.com).

Carnegie Porter - "20% Drunker" drawn by myself (again)


I am writing OCs and ponsonas into the story as background characters. Characters used will be mentioned by name, and will be described vaguely or in detail, depending on the situation. Please, feel free to send me a message or leave a comment asking about this! OCs and background characters make great fillers!
