The 39 Clues had Better 1-Shot!
“There’s no reason to be nervous, Doctor. I’m just meeting a face of myself from another time. No need to be nervous, it’s not like Daleks will come over this planet, this… Earth-like planet. Who am I kidding, this place is full of horse puns! How did I become a pony though? That’s a question to be answered for the future.”
The Doctor, in his cool Twelfth Doctor reincarnation, was sweating as he looked on his watch.
“I wonder how I coped up being a four-legged small horse after that particular regeneration. Maybe he’s my next face after two more faces and I turned into a half-pony. Or probably because of the strange readings I keep finding every time I pass by this planet. Is it magic? I think it is what humans call magic.”
From a blue police box behind him, the door opened inwards and a human female head popped out from the inside.
“Doctor, are you sure you want me to stay inside?” she asked.
The Doctor faced her. “Well, unless you want to see what this world has, sure. Although I don’t think you’ll die of cuteness that fast, Clara.”
“Are you meeting a cute alien this time?” Clara asked.
“More like a cute face of myself,” the Doctor replied. He looked at his watch. “Well, this is odd. I should’ve meet him a few seconds ago. Very well, I guess we could head somewhere else then. Probably make the exterior dimensions small and leaving you outside for a comedic effect.”
Clara chuckled before noticing a brown horse-like creature entering the room they were in. “Oh, I think he’s here and he’s him,” she said, pointing to the creature who looked at Clara funny.
“Clara? Clara Oswald? Is that you?” the creature asked in a British accent. “Well, Doctor, I see that you’ve brought your companion.”
“Oh my god, you are a cute alien,” Clara muttered.
The Twelfth Doctor was about to answer when three more TARDIS appeared beside his own TARDIS. He blinked, wondering why there were such ships around his time. The creature blinked as well and headed to smallest of the three and entered it, before going out with a winged horse— pegasus pony. What caught the Clara and the Twelfth was that the pegasus pony was wall-eyed.
“Oh, Doctor, Clara, I want you to meet my friend, Derpy ‘Muffin’ Hooves. Say hello, Muffin,” the creature introduced.
“Hi,” the pegasus pony replied. “So, you must be the Doctor, too.”
“Yes, I am the Doctor.” The Doctor looked at the pony. “Doctor.”
“I am,” he replied. “Now, who’s the two more? I never invited them, I just invited you for a cup of tea and some ideas!”
Simultaneously, the two TARDISes opened their doors to find the Tenth and the Eleventh Doctor.
“Oh, time misinterpretation,” the pony Doctor realized. “Very well, I must introduce myself! I am the Doctor. I am born in Gallifrey, I’ve lived seventeen full regenerations and this is my eighteenth. I donned this form last two faces ago while saving this world and due to the semi-radiative effects of this planet my regeneration caused me to take this form. Now, any further questions will be answered once I learned why the in all of Gallifrey are there four Doctors in one room!?”
“I don’t know, I just followed him!” the Tenth replied, pointing to the Eleventh.
“Why are you following me?” Eleventh asked.
Tenth opened his coat. “You have my Sonic Screwdriver.”
“Oh, that!” Eleventh pulled out the Tenth’s Sonic Screwdriver and threw it to him. Tenth manages to caught it and then enters the TARDIS, and left. “Now, for my third equine face, I guess I’m just staying here to find a Dalek.”
“A Dalek!?” both the Doctor and the pony one— Eighteenth Doctor, asked in surprise.
“IS THAT YOU THE DOCTOR?” a robotic voice suddenly spoke up from the room. “THE DOCTOR WITH BOWTIE?”
“It’s me!” The Eleventh called, giggling. “Where are you anyway?”
A Dalek promptly appeared from the shadows. “SYSTEMS ERROR; MULTIPLE DOCTORS!”
“Yeah… Let’s take you home,” Eleventh said, guiding the Dalek to his TARDIS before leaving.
Clara, who spectated the whole event, blinked. “Were those…?”
“Yes,” the Twelfth answered.
“Did they…?”
“Yes, they did,” Eighteenth replied. “Although it’s not more worse than 57 Doctors!”
“57 Doctors!?” both the Twelfth and Clara repeated with shock.
“Excluding that Warrior, of course,” Eighteenth added. “He broke that promise.”
There was a moment of silence as Muffin left.
“Well, the tea time can wait,” Twelfth declared. “We’re going.”
“But—” Clara protested.
Eighteenth just bowed his head before he saw a magic bolt towards the Twelfth’s TARDIS which was just reflected off towards the nearby table which turned into stone. Eighteenth quickly drew out his Sonic Screwdriver and activated it to the table, turning it back into a simple iron table. He looked around and pointed his screwdriver towards the light switch and saw that the one who fired the bolt is none other than the local princess!
“Hey Doc, mind telling what’s going on?” she demanded.
“Stay calm, Twilight. This is the Doctor and Clara Oswald, some old friends of mine,” he introduced. “Doctor, Twilight Sparkle.”
“They’re aliens,” Twilight noticed.
“So am I,” Eighteenth added.
“You’re not,” Twilight protested.
“You can prove it yourself anyway,” Eighteenth taunted.
“If you wish.” Twilight went closer and used a scanning spell, only to step back. “You have two hearts.”
“I was expecting one heart,” Twelfth commented. “I guess the ‘magic’ in this world can affect regenerations.”
Eighteenth looked at Twelfth ridiculously.
“What about them?” Twilight asked. “Why are you three here if you’re aliens?”
“A tea party,” Twelfth answered.
“Protecting this world like what I do when I was in that form,” Eighteenth answered, pointing to Twelfth. “That, and making simple tea parties and sending ridiculous things to my home planet if I was in the mood.”
“What’s with the two police boxes?” Twilight asked.
Twelfth and Clara decided to enter their TARDIS and decided to leave the area.
Meanwhile, Twilight hung slack-jawed as she watched the Tweflth’s TARDIS vanish.
Eighteenth groaned. “Now they left without what they need,” he muttered until he saw and hear the TARDIS appearing again. “Well, nevermind.”
After it has fully materialized, the Twelfth Doctor went out. The Eighteenth quickly gave him a box and quickly left. Soon after it had dematerialized, The Eighteenth Doctor stared at Twilight who was trying to comprehend the events that had happened.
“You’ll be fine,” he cooed. “Muffin had a far worse reaction by nearly crashing my TARDIS which actually caused its chameleon circuit to slightly repair, causing it to turn into a pony-sized box.”
“Really?” Twilight asked. “Where’d he go anyway?”
The Doctor chuckled. “Across time and space, into a planet called Earth, where the dominant sentient species are ape beings called humans,” he replied. “Now, did you know what he took from us?”
“What?” Twilight asked.
“My crate of apple cider, that’s what!” Doctor replied. “All of my reincarnations seem to love Applejack’s cider! Especially that old chap and the first face of me!”
Speaking of the first face, a TARDIS began to materialize on the room they were in, and Doctor immediately knew who he was, so he went outside tugging Twilight along, and went back with two crates. Twilight wondered why two crates were needed until she saw why.
“Okay, next time you go for something like this, try to tag me along.” Twilight was jealous as the two Doctors had a conversation. After the human Doctor left with one crate, the pony Doctor faced Twilight.
“Sorry, did you just said ‘tag you along?’” Doctor asked. He clapped, and his TARDIS opened its doors. “Why, that’s just what I needed!”

Rainbow Dash had finished telling the story to her friends when all of a sudden, she heard the sound of the materializing TARDIS, causing her friends to jump. Looking around and finding the blue box nearby, she approached the box only to take a few feet off as Twilight Sparkle jumped out of the TARDIS and quickly closed its doors as an explosion happened inside.
“What’s going on, Twilight?” Rainbow asked.
Twilight looked at Rainbow. “Well, I don’t actually know,” she answered.
After a few seconds, Twilight opened the door to find an pegasus stallion with a white mane walking like drunk outside of the TARDIS. Facing Rainbow Dash, he smiled.
“Oh, there you are, Twilight Sparkle,” he said before fainting.
Rainbow and Twilight looked into each other.
