Out skirts of Ponyville Half an Hour Ago

Princess Celestia touched down outside of a one-story home. It was a modest place, but it had a homely feel to it, unlike the cold stone interior of the castle. For a second, Celestia silently envied the couple that lived here, but she quickly shook the thought from her mind. 'I don't have the luxury of thinking that way at the moment. That second object fell down near here. If The Doctor is here, this doesn't bode well.

"Sister." Celestia was broken from her thoughts by a voice coming from the doorway. Looking up, she saw the face of a blue alicorn with hair like a starry night. "I am glad you're here. I was about to send for y...." Luna cut herself off when she saw the mixture of fear and excitement in Celestia's eyes.

"Luna", Celestia looked to her sister. "The TARDIS is here."

Luna's eyes widened, "Sister are you sure?" Celestia nodded. Luna's face took on the same look as her sister's, "if that's the case then that sinking feeling I got was right."

"Sinking feeling?" Celestia Narrowed her eyes. "What sinking feeling?"

Luna opened her mouth to say something but closed it again. A look came across her face as she appeared to be thinking something over, then she opened her mouth again. "It'll be easier to show you. I want you to meet with the husband."

"The husband?"

"Yes. He and his wife are currently confined to the house." Luna paused to see that Celestia was following her. "The wife is perfectly fine as far as I can tell, it's the husband that was found at the crash site that worries me."

Celestia contemplated asking what she meant, thinking better of it, she instead let her curiosity go for the time being. "Very well, I shall meet with him."

Emerald watched as the thing wearing her husband's skin followed a guard out of the sitting room. As it left, Princess Luna entered. She rose to bow but was stayed when Luna raised a hoof. "There's no need to bow. I'm here to talk."

"About what, your highness." Contrary to what Luna had expected, her voice sounded resentful, rather than defeated.

To Emerald's surprise, Luna strode across the room and sat down rather casually on the couch next to her. "Well, anything." Emerald looked up to Luna, eyes wide with surprise. Luna chuckled, "you don't need to worry. We shall figure out what has happened to your husband."

"Wha-"

"Oh please. I realised as soon as I looked at him." Luna let a dry laugh escape her lips, a pathetic attempt to lighten the mood. "Miss...Emerald is it? My sister is going to try to get some answers, best we can do is wait."

Luna hated admitting so, but it was useless to deny the truth.

**********

Eileen followed the guard through to the dining room, as they entered, the smell of coffee stung her nose. The walls were dotted with decorative plates, 'This place is sickeningly sweet.’ She held back the urge to scoff.

'Nothing to say?' The silence in her head was a welcome change, though she could still feel a weight in the back of her mind.

"Greetings High Flyer." A soft voice drifted through the room from the small wooden dining table in the middle of the room.

Eileen looked around in High Flyer’s mind for a name and then, "Princess Celstia" she gave a curt bow. Celsestia gave a slight bow of her head and motioned for her to sit.

After taking her seat opposite Celestia, she spoke, "I've already told Princess Luna everything I know."

"We shall see."

10 minutes later

Celestia had gone over the same questions Luna had asked, and Eileen gave the same answers. Eileen was starting to grow tired of this when…

"....and you are certain you have been 100% honest with me?" Eileen nodded. Celestia waited a moment before continuing. "Then I have one more question. Where is the object now?"

Celestia noticed the pegasus tense up a bit, "What makes you ask?"

That motherly smile never left Celestia's face, but her eyes seemed to narrow, "Mr Flyer, or should I say, the creature pretending to be Mr Flyer. Did you know we alicorns are slightly telepathic. We can't read thoughts mind you, but we can read intent."

Eileen froze. She had been sent reeling by this revelation. She saw the Princess' horn glow, and before she could react, she felt a wait around her neck. Looking down, she saw a golden ring wrapped around it. "WHAT IS THIS"

"You'll find all technology quite useless with that on. You're not the first alien that has taken advantage of my subjects, and you won't be the last. We aren't defenceless."

Eileen attempted to pull at the ring, but it had fused itself with the skin beneath the fur. She began to panic 'Think Eileen, think. Ah.' A smile came across the pegasus' muzzle. "Technology you say. But does it limit biological functions."

Celestia's eyes widened as the pegasus began to glow. Without thinking, Celestia leapt for the guards at the door and, enveloping them all in her magic, teleported them and herself away. The light expanded outward. Everything it touched combusted, the light continued to expand when suddenly....

*BOOM*

The light connected with a gas tank. Eileen, however, had vannished.

**********

The explosion had sent out a shock wave that tore the trees on the perimeter of the forest up by the roots. It crashed into the group outside the TARDIS, knocking them back and demolishing a few homes on the edge of Ponyville. At the same, there was a flash of light and Celestia, accompanied by two guard ponies, came flying at them.

Looking around, she hadn't noticed The Doctor. "WHERE'S LUNA." As she spoke as blue light rose from the flames, it stopped mid-air, and after a few seconds, lunged toward them. The two guards moved to protect Celestia, but she stayed them with a hoof. The blue light touched down in front of the group and faded to reveal Luna, and enveloped in her magic, was a rather disoriented Emerald.

She looked around and her eyes immediately found Celestia. Before she realised it, she was wrapped into an embrace, she returned the hug. Her eyes then landed on The Doctor.

"Sister. It's him." Hearing this whispered in her ears, Celestia turned her head slowly. that's when she saw him.

"DOCTOR!"
