Octavia and the strangest pony in the world

Sebastian walked right up to the doors and took one of the keys out of his bag and put it in the lock. It turned with no problems and he opened the small pair of doors. “I’m afraid I haven't been quite honest with you,” Sebastian turned “my name is actually Syrrax, or Hermes (The messenger) which translates from modern Gallopfreyian to latin ‘He who acts without thinking’ but I find it inaccurate, especially after what happened to Luna, I think then act now, or people I care about get injured or worse.”

The trio proceeded to enter the small blue box; The inside wasn’t very well lit, but had not a speck of dust on it. Octavia didn’t notice, she was still bewildered about how big on the inside it actually was. It was a white octagonal shape with pillars in the corners. In the middle of the room was a white octagon, covered with buttons and levers and a green pillar extruding to the ceiling from the centre. There were no seats inside, only a chair/couch hybrid and a door on the far side. Hermes immediately dashed  to the console and began flicking switches, pressing buttons and pulling levers. After a minute of this light flooded the room, slowly subsiding into a visible level.Something clicked, no-one other than Octavia could hear it though; Images flashed behind her eyes barely registering, moving too fast to be pinned down by a thought. Once able to see again she asked “What ARE you doing?”.

Hermes looked only briefly to acknowledge that he heard her. “Well, this small yet large box, is capable of travel through space and time and basically in this dimension, we are easy targets for those alien assassins; thus, we need to leave this dimension for another. Well actually we need to go to another universe, that's where the problems are. This ship, T.A.R.D.I.S, which stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space and it draws its power from the universe. Trouble is, wrong universe. It would be like trying to use a fridge in the desert, it doesn't really work.

However, during my travels, my Tardis collided with another tardis which was from another universe; They merged for about 5 seconds before they separated and because of that I can travel between two alternate universes easily. Luna, could you help? I need it ready for sustained vortex flight.”

Luna nodded and began to do almost what Hermes was doing while he walked over to Octavia and looked her in the eyes. “Listen, there is no real way to put this, but we will be gone at least a week in a dimension you have no forehand knowledge about and there may be something you need to know abo-” Octavia put a hoof to his lips and said “Save it, there is something we need to do before that,” as she kissed him on the cheek “this can travel through time? we will need to, because there is a reason that that knife missed us earlier”.

Hermes simply nodded and dashed up to the console where he activated a computer monitor and began rapidly typing and pressing small buttons. He then walked over, spun a metal wheel with a handle around twice then pushed down a lever. A shum-wheeze sound that made Hermes feel at home could be heard constantly as the small blue box spun through the time stream.
