Warriors of Time: The Stallion (Book 1)

   In the next few days, the Doctor was finally released from the hospital, thanks to Twilight. The Doctor was still getting use to the feeling of walking on all fours instead of two; he kept on falling over and tumbling into things. Derpy and Twilight found the scenes amusing to watch, but after a while it wore off. They would then look on in concern as the brown male fell into ponies and other things constantly.

  "Uh...should we help him?" Derpy would ask her new alicorn friend, still staring at the Doctor as he tripped into something yet again. "Yeah, but something tells me there is something different about that stallion, Derpy." Twilight would reply. The princess had started getting suspicious about the stallion. She didn't say anything, but she had a hunch that the Doctor was not all he said he was. Finally, she knew she had to speak up.

   "Doctor," Twilight began as the Doctor turned to see her and Derpy. "I know that we've only known each other for a few days, but I still feel like Derpy and I still don't know a thing about you. You are obviously not from around here, and I have a feeling that there's more to you than what meets the eye." the alicorn explained.

   The Doctor suddenly felt the air around him get thick as sweat dropped down his narrow face. He knew he would have to tell the two mares at some point, but he had hoped to have the TARDIS fixed when he did. Not to mention that he had only known the two girls for a few days, he didn't know if they would try anything. Then again, they did save his life and all they wanted was to know who he was. But he still had doubts; on one hoof they would think he was mental and through him into a funny farm, but on the other hoof they were magical beings who talked. Finally with a great, big sigh, the Doctor told them.

    He explained on how he was a being from another planet that traveled through time and space to fix problems that shouldn't happen. He said on how he was actually in a human form instead of a pony form most of the time, and on how he was sucked into a black hole that crash landed him into Equestria.

    Derpy and Twilight were both astounded by the news; Derpy was amazed by everything the Doctor spoke of. However, Twilight was a bit skeptical at first, but when the Doctor spoke of humans she knew he was telling the truth. After all, not many ponies knew about humans, only the princesses and herself along with her friends knew, but nopony else did.

    When the Doctor finished, Derpy restated his words, "So let me get this straight; you time travel all across the universe in a thing you call the TARDIS, you are some kind of alien that takes the form of something called a 'human', you have something called a sonic screwdriver, and you help save the universe with others that you call,  'companions'?"

    The Doctor answered nonchalantly to the lazy-eyed pegasus's statement, "Yeah, pretty much." Derpy squealed in delight, "That is so awesome! Do you think you could take us places and times sometime?!" at that, Twilight stepped in, "Hold on there, Derpy. Do you really think that's safe? You saw what happened to that TARDIS thingy! It could be very dangerous. Besides, I've learned a lesson that messing with time can be very foolish." after the purple mare said that, both the Doctor and Derpy gave her questionable looks before she said, "Don't ask."

    For the rest of the day, the Doctor asked questions about Equestria, it's ponies, and the stamps that were plastered onto their rumps. Twilight and Derpy answered gladly for the fascinated stallion to every question. He found it interesting that the stamps were known as "cutie marks" and  that they told you your destiny.

    It was getting dark when Twilight's assistant, Spike came rushing towards the trio with a note in claw. "Twilight! I got a letter from the princess!" the alicorn levitated the note away from the dragon as she read out loud,

                                        Dear Twilight,

                                             A great urgency needs your assistance. Be sure to bring the Doctor and Ms. Derpy Hooves.

                                                                                                                                            Yours,

                                                                                                                                                  Princess Celestia

  Derpy and the Doctor were both shocked; how would the princess of the sun know who they were? Also, why did she want them to come along with Twilight?
