2 years. It had been 2 years since she had seen her Great Grandparents. She stood by their graves and placed flowers on them. “Hey guys… so here we are… You know, its kinda sad. All that work we did to save the future… Twice… and I barely got to know you guys… Especially you Great Grandmother… I only knew you for a short while… and even then that was spent battling all those robots and beings from alternate dimensions… I just wish I could of gotten to know you better…”

Suddenly she heard a strange sound. The sound of wheezing and groaning, screeching. She turned around as she suddenly felt a gust of wind hit her. She watched in amazement as a box appeared out of thin air. She looked it up and down. It was blue, with the words “Police Public Call Box” written on it. She waited till it stopped, and walked towards it, getting ready for a fight. However, what she heard coming from the box made her think otherwise. She placed her ear against the door and heard what sounded like somebody playing a guitar. A few seconds later, it stopped, and she heard whoever was playing the guitar get up and walk to the door. She took a few steps back still listening. How could somebody be walking that far inside that box? Before she could hide from whoever was inside, the doors opened up, and what appeared to be a gray earth pony step out. He wore a hoodie and baggy pants, and for some reason had a pair of sunglasses on. She saw the guitar on his back to signify he was indeed the one playing earlier.

“Excuse me…” He said, his voice sounding quite ancient, “But Im looking for someone by the name of Sash Lilac.”

“Uh… Im Sash Lilac…” The girl said. “And you would be?”

“I am The Doctor” The old stallion said. He looked her up and down. The girl before him was a purple dragon, wearing a white blouse with a blue minidress underneath it. She also wore blue gloves and boots with white arm guards. “Doctor Who?” she asked.

“Ah, now isn’t that a question Ive heard a hundred times before!” He exclaimed with glee. She looked at him confused. “Sorry. It just The Doctor.” He said more calmly.

“Why are you here?” Lilac asked as she stepped forward.

“Equestria is in need of your help! And I am your ticket to getting there!” The Doctor said.

“Huh? Wait, Equestria? Equestria as in the other half of Mobius that fused to make Avalice?” Lilac asked franticly.

“The one and only” The Doctor responded as he turned towards The Blue Box. “Come on. The Script for me is almost over and I really need to get out of here before people say this story is getting to complex!”

“Wait, what?” Lilac said running after him.

Twilight was reading a book in her castle when she suddenly heard the sound of the T.A.R.D.I.S. and threw up a shield around her castle library as it landed. She turned around and walked over as she heard voices coming from inside it. A male and a female, neither of which she recognized. Suddenly the door swung open as a Gray Stallion popped his head out. “AH Twilight! So good to see you again! Listen, I have a favor to ask Princess.” The Doctor said walking out of the T.A.R.D.I.S.. Twilight looked on as she saw a girl step out. She noticed the spikes on her head and realized she was a dragon. She turned to The Doctor as he was fiddling with his Sunglasses. “Can she stay with you for abit until the crisis that’s going to happen in a few days comes to pass? Ill pick her up and take her back to her time shortly after.” He continued as Twilight was still trying to comprehend that the Doctor had changed on her.

“Wait… Doctor?” She was about to ask when he grabbed her face.

“The fate of Equestria rests in her hands as well as a friend of yours. Do you understand?” He said franticly.

“I… Uh… Yes?” Twilight stuttered nervously.

“Good. Keep her safe. Lilac, Ill see you in five minutes… for me. Its gonna be a few weeks for you. Get comfy, and learn to like the taste of hay and flowers.” He said before finally having the T.A.R.D.I.S. vanish.

Lilac blinked and slowly turned towards Twilight. The Princess of Friendship stood there before finally snapping out of it. “Uh… Hi? Im Princess Twilight Sparkle. The Princess of Friendship. And you are?” Twilight said walking over to Lilac.

“I thought you looked familiar. Your pretty famous in my time. My name is Sash Lilac, and Im from the future.” Lilac said getting on her knees to look Twilight in the eyes.

“The future? Whats it like?” Twilight asked as Lilac put a finger to her chin to think of way to explain it without spoiling anything.

“Well… Its peaceful… for the most part. My friends and I have had to save it before, as well as jump back in time to help our ancestors as our enemy had traveled back in time to destroy the future. Of course… that was two years ago.” Lilac said as Twilight listened in glee.

“That sounds fascinating! Is there anything else?” She asked joyfully. Lilac shock her head deciding it be best to not mention her world of the future was made of Equestria and Mobius, as she might freak out from that info. Suddenly Lilac’s stomach growled.

“Uh… hehe… got anything to eat?” Twilight chuckled and turned around yelling “SPIKE!!!” Lilac heard some small footsteps approaching before seeing a small baby dragon enter.

“Ya?” Spike asked before spotting Lilac. “Woah? Whos she?”

“This is Lilac. Shes from the Future, and is going to be a guest of ours for a few weeks. Can you find anything for her to eat?”
