Mail's Here!

Doctor Hooves took his time to stretch, making sure he was deploying all his muscles and relaxing his body parts. He felt satisfaction upon hearing the cracking sound of his bones, only showing that his stretching was efficient.

"Ahhhhh..."

The Doctor hadn't relaxed in a long time.
Probably days... weeks even! He had lost track. Perhaps he had tried counting at the very beginning. But those numbers had quickly mixed with all the others, coming from complex divisions or equations that he had to solve in the nick of time to save his skin sometimes.
Business was hard. Nopony would want to give him someplace to sleep when he needed rest, and the inside of his Tardis wasn't exactly the most appropriate place to sleep, in the middle of all his complicated devices and beeping noises that the said devices would make.

"So! Down to work!" The Doctor shook himself away from his only used up couch that could barely fit in all the mess and proceeded to make his way back to his space maps.
He should be grateful to have at least had a full night's sleep. Usually he only had no more than a few hours before an alarm of some sort started to ring.

He started to mumble to himself as he carefully studied his plans, making sure no danger would cross his path. For now the Tardis was steadied above a time continuum, in a safe place, but Whooves knew that it wouldn't last long, for it wasn't stable.
His constant mumbling wasn't a bother anymore. At first he had felt embarassed upon realizing that he was talking to himself. But it became such a habit now that it merely concerned him. He was sure anypony would understand. He knew Derpy would understand as well if ever he did it in front of her.
Doctor Whooves froze.

Derpy... He hadn't thought of her in a long time.
He should probably go visit her soon.

He left the warmth of his little armchair and trotted over to his numerous calendars, each having a different date and year on them.

"Hmmm... This year should be 2016 although I'm not exactly sure Celestia raised the sun back in Equestria yet... I certainly can't visit her at night, what a horrid husband I would be! I Wonder how she's doing... Maybe she decided to go to bed early...? Or perhaps she-"

A thought occured to him...
W... What if she's in trouble? I haven't visited her for... for... I think the time when I last saw her was at Cranky and Mathilda's wedding!

"Great wickering stallions! That was at least two months ago!" the Doctor exclaimed in a panicked voice, running a hoof through his mane to smooth it out, a sign of nervousness to him. "I really need to get going! Just have to re-calibrate the time opera-"

Knock Knock Knock!

"Just a minute!" yelled the Doctor, grabbing his scarf. "Honestly these ponies always vist at the wrong times... I should probably create one of those signs that say 'opened' or 'closed', just for the sake of-"
For the second time, Doctor Whooves didn't finish his sentence and stopped in midair.

He stood there, frozen to the core as he stared at the door that was supposevily leading outside. His mouth was still open and was still opening as shock over took him.

B... But how?! was the only thought going through his mind at that moment.

The Doctor carefully closed his mouth and wiggled his muzzle in concern, trying to process what was happening or even what to do. His right ear flicked upwards as he tried to pick up a sound - any sound! - that would indicate that by some amazing way, he had ended up in Ponyville and the... the pony behind the door was just a little filly, proposing a little box of lovely chocolates for Hearts and Hooves day.

Nervous and unable to think strait, Doctor Whooves licked his lips, shook his head and blinked three times to shoo away the fear.
It helped.
Kind of.

Knock Knock Knock!

The knocking was more insistant. It was impossible to tell if the knocking was made by a terrifying creature or not...
Oh come on Whooves! You're acting like a scared little foal. Get your act up you stupid stallion!
But then again... He was still in space right...? So perhaps it was an enemy of his...
But then again... No enemy of his would simply knock if they were there to attack.

Stop hesitating!

"C... Coming!" The Doctor shouted, taking a few shaky steps towards the door.
He laid his hoof on it and firmly pushed it wide open...

"Yes?" he asked a little too loud and military like to seem calm, his eyes shut tight.

"Oh. My. Goooooosh!" a familiar squeal screamed. "It's been forever! I missed you SOOOO much Whoovsy!"

The Doctor dared to open an eye, destabilised by the nickname and joyful voice.
What he saw left him speechless.

"D... Derpy??!" he exclaimed, having to have to blink a few times just incase it was a hallucination.

The gray pegasus mare was euphorically jumping up and down, her blond mane swishing at the same rhythm her head did, as her crossed eyes showed nothing but pure happiness.
But she abruptly stopped, a worried expression taking place over her smiling face as she looked down at a small white letter she had been holding in her mouth, although managing to speak normally all this time. The letter was sealed by a red heart.
"Oh no! I hope I didn't squish it up too much!" she shamefully said, letting it drop out of her mouth so she could examine it with her hooves. "Umm... Whoovsy? Y... You don't mind if I drooled a little on your Heart and Hooves card do you?"

Derpy lifted her head and saw that a statue had taken the place of the former Doctor Whooves. His mouth was hanging open and his irises were a little too small, staring at her hooves like he had just seen some kind of horrible monster.

Doesn't she understand that she's floating ?! She is literally hovering above space and the stars, talking about a letter! How'd she even get here in the first place?! thought The Doctor, suddenly feeling very empty and exhausted.
But he lifted his head when he heard a few sobs.

"I... I'm sorry I messed up the card! I didn't think you liked perfect things! I just really missed you!" cried Derpy, sitting down on pretty much nothing.

"Derpy! I'm sorry!" protested Whooves, galloping to her and nuzzling her cheek. "I was just so surprised that you came here! I don't care if the letter is just a pile of paper or has burn marks over it! I'll always love what you make me..." he saw his marefriend give him a sweet smile between her tears. "And... It's Hearts and Hooves day?"

A giggle escaped her mouth. "You didn't know?! Silly Whoovsy!" she lifted her own hoof and 'booped' the Doctor's nose with a laugh.

"Well then, just to be clear, I don't care what day it is or how in Tartarus did you get here, but I just wanted to say..." Hooves leaned in close, and wrapped his hooves around her. "I love you so much Derpy..."

"Me too..." a whisper came back. "Me too..."
