A letter from Dr. Hooves. (Time Turner)

"I've always found amusement in tinkering and expanding my mind. Though if they are in jest or otherwise is solely my decision. But to say the truth, everything in life is finite, never to be seen beyond death. Why dreary the mood though? Does life have to be so grim and glum? I believe not! I believe in greatness and exhilaration and passion and heart! As there is no time but now, to do anything."

On an average day, unlike no other, a scene was set for something amazing to happen, for discoveries to be made! Derpy, a small grey pony with a gold mane that, surprisingly, was consistently well kept, had almost been finished with her mail rounds, if it had not been for all of the errors. (To be blunt she is a ditz.) Though the job was incomplete, her shift ended 30 minutes ago, and she was late for meeting up with Turner. Derpy had suddenly became happy, filled with the joys of anticipation. Even though they were only "hanging out", she had been infatuated with him for some time now and to her it was almost like a date. Her love for Turner, though not well conveyed, was quite strong. Now, eager to meet him, she was, at last, headed to Dr. Hooves laboratory. The flight from cloudsdale to ponyville had invigorated her for the afternoon ahead with the doctor. Now finally at the lab, things seem to be a little bit more interesting than usual. For one thing, Turner had invited Derpy to his lab, where as usually Derpy would just enter as she pleased. She was very excited to meet him today. after she opened the door, she pranced into the lab and was instantly greeted with turners presence.

"Hi, hehe." she blurted, enamored all the while.

Oblivious to the signs of infatuation for him, Turner turned around and walked towards a large machine, rambling on about something. At that moment, something had caught Derpy's eye. It was a large round ball on the end of a stick that had her interest. As Turner was talking, she approached it.

As she was about to grab it, turner shouted, "NO! Don't pull that lever just yet!"

Intrigued by the lever, she pulled it in for a close examination; the large machine had just been activated. Now, because the situation had called for it, Turner quickly picked up some luggage he had prepared in the corner of the room. As he came with the luggage, the machine let out a huge sound, a sound that could probably be heard several blocks away. The room shook in intervals as the machine flashed brightly.

"What's going on!?!" Derpy shouted franticly, puzzled by the situation.

"Progress!" Turner replied, taking her by the foreleg.

As the machine only got louder by the minute, Derpy and Turner entered the large contraption. The inside, surprisingly quieter, was home to a variety of switches and levers, all of which Turner was utilizing. Though the space was meant for two, it was still uncomfortable due to the luggage. But Derpy, alone with the doctor, felt ok.
