Chapters I hummed a tune to myself as I trotted out of Sugarcube Corner, the sweet scent of a fresh batch of muffins wafting out of my saddlebags.
"Hey! Thumbs up!" A minty green pony called to me from a bench on the other side of the dirt path. "Good morning, Lyra!" I called back to her.
"Hello!" A creme mare who was next to Lyra sang. I smiled. She didn't know it, but there was an 'I HEART HUMANS' cap on her head. A prank set by Lyra, no doubt.
I stumbled as my overflowing saddlebags slipped off of my back, golden brown muffins rolling in all directions.
"Oh, my!" A red maned filly exclaimed. She immediately cantered over and helped with the mess. I could only see out of one eye at once, so it took me a moment to register who it was.
"Twist!" I hugged her tightly. Twist was my little sister's best friend. Once all of the muffins were back in place, I buckled my saddlebags back on. I thanked Twist and went on my way. Too bad no one is allowed to know where Doctor Whooves' laboratory is. I looked around, and not a soul in sight. I think. My eyesight isn't the best.
I knocked on the stump of a nearby tree. Nothing happened. I looked down and noticed I had knocked on the wrong one. I trotted over to a tree with a pink flower sprouting out of the trunk. I knocked on it three times. A click, then another, and another after that. A trapdoor opened up under me.
"Whoops!" I giggled, embarrassed at myself.
"Ah! Ditzy Do!" A British voice chimed from behind me.
"Oh, sorry to startle you my dear, but you absolutely must see the invention I've been working on, it's FANTASTIC!" He exclaimed.
"Oh, Doctor, ALL of your gadgets and gizmos are fantastic to me." I sang, trotting toward a table with a sheet on it. The cocoa colored stallion smiled at my compliment and drew back the sheet.
A muffin rolled onto the floor.
"Its, a tablet?" I puzzled. He chuckled.
"Ditzy, it's a SPYING device!" He explained, "There are tiny flying cameras, too small to see with the naked eye, hidden all over Equestria! An idea popped into my head.
"So, if I wanted to, and I'm not saying I will, but I could fly the robots all over the place and see ponies doing stuff, like, embarrassing stuff?" I grinned.
The Doctor sighed, "I love you, but you are NOT to touch this control pad,"
I frowned, "okay," the Doctor smiled and kissed me on the nose, then left in the tardis. After a few seconds, I giggled. I picked up the control pad and turned it on.
"Darn it," I said to myself. There was a password. I giggled as I typed in the password, BUTTER isn't very secure, especially if you've ever seen the Doctor eat.

Dear Reader,
Hopefully you like the story so far, and thank you for reading this! I hope the idea of the Doctor and Derpy being an item, #
I decided to pick the CAM 4 option, and a picture of the Canterlot Castle popped up. Then, I saw live video feed from the royal sisters' dining room. I flew it onto the table, and I saw Princess Luna, sliding around on the hardwood floor in fuzzy Christmas socks, zooming sideways, backwards, forwards, and diagonal without falling over once. I burst into laughter when Princess Celestia came through the doorway at top speed and fell onto the floor face first.
I tapped the red tab again and picked a number at random. CAM 2. A picture of Twilight Sparkle's castle flashed onto the screen. I was in the main hall on the third floor. The chandelier was elegant and gorgeous. The roots that were hanging from the ceiling were perfectly sanded, stained, and polished, but the REAL beauty was in all of the gemstones suspended from the branches. It was the middle of the day by now, and the sun roof let in sunlight and it reflected rainbow light across the room. I heard muffled voices around the corner. They sounded confused. I flew the drone through the doorway. It led to the royal throne room, where Rarity and Applejack were with Twilight, talking about some map. Then I saw their cutie marks and gasped. They were glowing! I had to see what was going on.
I heard a knock on the door which made me jump, causing my hoof to slip, causing the slippery glass tablet to slide off the table, sending a long, spidery crack across the screen. I yelped and threw the sheet back over the table as the Doctor climbed down the ladder into the main entrance.
"Ditzy Do! I'm back! Ditzy?" He called. "I've gotten a screen protector for my new device, so now we can use it together!" I heard his hoofsteps.
"Diiitzyyyy! I have a surprise for you!" I held my breath. The hoofsteps stopped, then started again. I let my breath go as the trapdoor opened and shut.
"Oh, no no no no no no no no no!" I couldn't have broken the screen, not after the Doctor said not to! I started crying. I felt a hoof on my shoulder.
I looked up, "Oh, Doctor! I'm so sorry!" I sobbed, hugging him. He stroked my mane.
"Ditzy, don't cry." he soothed. After a few minutes, I had calmed down a bit. I was curled up on the floor with my face buried in my tail. I lifted my head up to see the Doctor with a small yellow and grey gift box in his mouth.
"For- for m-me?" I sniffed. He set the box down and smiled.
I pulled the ribbon and lifted the lid. Inside was a tablet with both of our cutie marks in it.
"The one you were using was a prototype. I told you not to use it so you would want to play with it and see how fun it was." He chucked. " I went into town to pick THIS one up from the paint shop, where I got our cutie marks printed onto it, giving you just enough time to figure it out. I jumped up and hugged him.
"but," I said, letting go of him, "how did you know what I was going to do?" he rolled his eyes and grinned.
"Whilst unicorns have mastered time travel with a spell, I have mastered it with my TARDIS! and the MAGIC of SCIENCE!!!"
I love Doctor Whooves.
An image of the carousel boutique popped up, along with an Arrow pad and up and down buttons. I tapped on the 'up' option and I saw live video of the town square. I fumbled with the controls, and when I finally got the hang of it, I decided to have some fun...
The first stop for the drone is going to be Fluttershy's cottage, I decided, and flew it there. I maneuvered the camera through the crack under the door, and saw Fluttershy on Fimfiction, reading 'Cupcakes'. Laughing her head off.
"Oh, Pinkie Pie, you silly filly," she chimed. I flew the drone closer, and saw her favorite it. My jaw dropped, Fluttershy was the sweetest, most tender,loving, scaredy-cat pony I had ever met, WHY WAS SHE READING CUPCAKES?!?!
I took a deep breath, in, and out, in, and out. I placed my hooves on the cold screen, flying out the way it came in, under the door, through the woods, and now I was back in town. I turned the power off and stretched. 'grrmmmrr' my stomach rumbled. I hadn't realized how hungry I was until just now. Trotting toward the muffins I had bought from Sugarcube Corner, I noticed a map of Equestria. I took a muffin off of the table, then walked back to the map.
"Mmmm," I thought out loud, "No one makes muffins like Pinki-," I stopped dead, remembering the fanfiction Fluttershy was reading in her cottage. I looked down at the muffin, then the tablet, then the muffin, then the tablet, I whistled the 'Smile' song as I cautiously put one hoof in front of the other, then realized, Hey! Pinkie Pie isn't a crazy killer, just a crazy pony! It's just a fanfiction, anyways, even if it was real, Pinkamena Diane Pie didn't know where I was!
"take that, Pinkie!" I shouted.
After that, I decided to make a list of things I needed to do. The tablet lit up and buzzed. I slowly walked over to it and read the notification.
HEADSPLIT REPLIED TO YOUR COMMENT ON THE USER HEADSPLIT
I looked around and waited to see or hear if anypony was coming. Not a thing. I picked it up, typed in the password, and tapped the screen. A small tab on the left side of the screen appeared. Out of curiosity, I clicked on it. The screen changed to bright orange with six windows. CAM 1, CAM 2, all the way to CAM 6. I raised my eyebrows, maybe these were the cameras hidden all over Equestria the Doctor was talking about.
Mwahaha...
