Ponyville, Equestria - Gaia-996

It was a busy day at the small town of Ponyville. The birds were chirping, the weather team was scheduled to keep the skies clear and sunny, and everypony was enjoying it. All seemed normal as it could get at this strange small town, until the wind begins to blow by itself. The sounds of wheezing engines begin to fill the air; as a familiar blue box begins to materialize. The TARDIS appeared behind the Golden Oaks Library, making the leaves on the tree home blow away. Once fully materialized, the doors opened to a alicorn Twilight Sparkle trotting out the door, glancing around her surroundings. Exiting the box behind her was the Doctor, and this world's Pinkie Pie, bouncing about. The lavender mare turns her head to the library, mouth agape open.

"The Golden Oaks Library," she spoke in a whisper. "I-It's still here."

"Yes," the Doctor interrupts her. "It's still in one piece in this world, Princess Sparkle."

"Yeah," Pinkie nods, still bouncing about. "Now if you excuse me, I gotta say hi to my hubby." The last part said in a sing-song.

The pink mare bounces away, wandering off to the town. The alicorn gazes at the pink mare, sighing as she had the same sunny disposition as her Pinkie Pie. Then, the creaking noise of the library door opens. She sighed, missing that sound from earlier days in Ponyville. Then, hoofsteps can be heard, as a familiar unicorn trotted to the duo. The mare is shorter than Twilight, though she looked like her, safe for the lack of wings, shorter horn, and a wedding ring placed on her ankle above her hoof. The unicorn Twilight looks shock, then turns to the Doctor, eyes widen in shock.

"Doctor," the unicorn spoke to the brown stallion. "who.... what... is she doing here?!"

"Miss Sparkle," the Doctor trots towards the Twilight of this world. "meet Princess Sparkle, from another world."

The unicorn turns to the alicorn Twilight, blinking a little. She gazed at her counterpart, noticing the wings, longer height, and longer horn. The Princess of Friendship smiled sheepishly at the Element of Magic, who was intrigued at her appearance. She had heard of the Multiverse theory, but she was living proof of it. The unicorn rushes towards her alicorn counter part, grinning widely. Princess Twilight smiled a little, observing her unicorn doppelganger as well.

"This is," the unicorn spoke.

"Amazing!" The alicorn finished.

"Yes," the brown stallion nods, grinning like a madpony. "amazing and all. Princess," he points to the unicorn. "she came here to explore the vast number of universes, starting with this one."

"Well, that's great," the unicorn smiled.

"I'm a little curious about something," the alicorn speaks up. "Who's the lucky pony?"

"Well," the unicorn stuttered, gulping.

"Don't be shy," the Doctor teased, shaking her a little. "she's you, well a alternate you."

"Yeah," a familiar bubbly voice rang out. "it's okay!" Pinkie Pie bounces towards the library, with a yellow stallion following her. The stallion had a huge grin on his face, as he had a buzz haircut on his head, while he had a orange tail. Wearing a green jacket with a striped red and white shirt under it. The stallion bared what appeared to be... buttered toast as a cutie mark. The alicorn stood confused, as unicorn Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Here comes Pinkie and Ed," the mare sighed, shaking her head.

"Hello," the stallion greets, with a deep but kind voice. He gazed at the princess, grinning. "your wings are pretty."

"T-Thank you," she acknowledged. Princess Twilight begins to smell something, almost like jawbreakers. "Um, Ed was it?"

"That's my name," he nods, as Pinkie nuzzled him. "Aw, honey." He laughs, kissing the pink mare.

Unicorn Twilight laughs a little, at the couple's display of affection. "Well," she turns to her alicorn counterpart. "I suppose your Pinkie Pie's single."

The alicorn nods, "Yeah, though there was a traveling party thrower who tried to impress her. But my Pinkie didn't even remember his name." She shakes her head at the memory of Rainbow's last birthday. "Oblivious as always."

"I'm right here you know," the Pinkie of 996 declared.

"Oh!" she flushed, feeling embarrassed. "I didn't mean you, I meant my Pinkie."

The other four ponies laugh, making the alicorn's blush deeper. Unicorn Twilight wiped the tears from her eyes, trying to catch her breath. "I'm sorry," she gasped. "Sorry. It kinda reminded me when I was like that."

"Until you met your special somepony," the alicorn answered.

"Well," the unicorn bit her lip. Then, a deep gong ranged. The Doctor's eyes widen in horror, as he gallops back to the TARDIS, with Princess Twilight following him. The other three ponies glanced back at worry, knowing that sound was never good. Once getting inside the TARDIS, the gonging was louder within the ship. The Doctor's eyes widen in horror.

"The cloister bell," he whispered, galloping back outside. "PINKIE LET'S GO!!" He calls out.

"Well that was short," Pinkie said, kissing her husband goodbye, then bouncing towards the TARDIS. Before closing the TARDIS doors, Princess Twilight glanced at a tombstone, with three butterflies on it. She gulped, as the doors closed, trotting to the control room. The Doctor begins to fiddle with the controls, as the TARDIS engine begins pumping. With that, the TARDIS de-materialize, heading to another place in time. As the blue box leaves, a blue wind blew through Ponyville.

"Hey," a male voice said. "what did I miss?"

Twilight turns to a certain bipedal hedgehog, smiling. "An interesting discovery." She then put her forehooves around the love of her life, kissing him on the cheek. "So, how was your trip?"

"Way past," he answers, grinning at his wife.
