A long sigh was heard inside Ponyville's library. It came from Twilight Sparkle, the librarian there. The source of her frustration were the stallions who had crash landed into a field near her friend's cottage. One was currently passed out on her couch - she had been kind enough to offer to watch over him; it had absolutely nothing to do with wanting to question him on his vehicle. - and the other was sitting on a spare chair. The problem with this stallion was that no-one could understand him. And not in the emotional sense either. No-one could understand him, literally. He wasn't speaking Equestrian - which was secretly English, but you already know that -. He was speaking some foreign language that she nor any of her friends had even heard before.
Twilight threw her yellow coated guest a glance, with Naruto catching it. Sadly, with a language barrier between them, there was no chance of him commenting on it.
Twilight sighed again.
'So, what do I do? There is no chance of me telling him anything, this speaking problem solves that. Sooo, how to handle this, how to handle this, how to handle this...'
Twilight was deep in thought when the brown earth pony on her couch passed out burped, exhaling a stream of golden gas. This gas made the cogs in Twilight's admittedly sizable mind begin to turn, allowing her to remember his earlier words.
'That stallion did mention water mixed with tea leaves. I guess he means tea. Maybe I should get Spike to make a cup and help him drink it. That would most likely remove this problem with the yellow one, after all he did seem to understand him.'
With her thoughts managed, Twilight called for Spike.
"SPIKE! GET DOWN HERE!"
A scurry of footsteps resounded down a staircase seconds later. When the creature making the footsteps reached the bottom of the staircase Naruto let out another stream of words only he knew the meaning of.
"Koto wa, kusa ni ōwa reta tokagedesu ka? Iya, ōkisugiru, soreha nisokuhokōdesu. Arushuno ryūdearuga, watashi wa doragon ga totetsumonaku ōkī to omotte ita hitsuyō ga arimasu ka? Tabun kono sekai wa subete no nochi ni watashi ga sōgū shinakattaga, chōdo kōhō ni aru benrina watashi no kioku ga nokotte iru sono basho de sono shimei no 1tsu no koto. Okage de o wa, anata wa watashi no koto o wasurete tsukuru tame no totemo shinsetsuda." (Is that a overgrown lizard? No, too big, and it's bipedal. Must be a dragon of sorts, but I thought dragons were absurdly large? Maybe this world is just backwards, after all I did encounter that one on that mission in that place which has conveniently left my memory. Thanks Kyuubi, you're so kind for making me forget things.) Naruto continued to ramble on about things concerning huge fox creatures and other things, whilst Twilight ignored him in favor of Spike.
"Err, Twilight, who are those two?"
Or she would of if Spike hadn't of brought it up.
She sighed once more.
"They're some ponies who crash landed near Fluttershy's. The brown one is out cold and the yellow one doesn't speak Equestrian."
Spike gave her a blank look.
"This concerns me how exactly?"
"I need you to make some tea"
"What? Why?"
"Because the brown one said that he would need some right before he lost consciousness"
"Seems like the ramblings of a stallion who wasn't all there"
"Spike, just do it!"
Spike shrugged and relented to Twilight, not wanting to face her anger.
"Fine, fine, geez..."

Naruto blinked as the purple dragon which had just walked into an area just out of view walked back into the room he was in carrying a tray with a kettle and 4 cups on it. He sniffed the air tentatively and noted the smell of tea. He watched attentively as the purple pony slowly trickled some of the heated beverage into the asleep pony's mouth. He was then shocked when the pony sat up almost a minute after.
"Nani... Ocha no jigoku no shurui wa, nandesuka?" (What the... What the hell kind of tea is that?) He more or less questioned of the now awake earth pony, knowing he would understand.
After allowing himself to get his bearings, the brown earth pony nodded his thanks to the purple pony before facing Naruto to answer his question.
"The type of tea doesn't matter. I just needed some to wake up. First time someone has done it nice and prompt too. I wonder if it's because I didn't make it all complicated and stuff... Nah." He was about to continue that sentence when Twilight interrupted him.
"Er, excuse me, but can you tell me who you are, and why you crashed into that field?"
The pony regarded her for a moment.
"I'm the Doctor, and I crashed due some turbulence." The Doctor chuckled at this.
"I... see. Can you ask the yellow stallion over there his name for me? Language Barriers and all."
"Certainly!"
The Doctor turned to regard Naruto, who up to this point was taking the conversation between the Doctor and Twilight with a slight interest. He could only understand half of it though.
"What is your name?" The Doctor asked, straight to the point.
"Watashi wa Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto"(I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze) Naruto replied, becoming cheerful at finally being able to converse with someone.
"Ah yes, nice to meet you Naruto. Call me the Doctor"
"Isha wa dare?" (Doctor Who?)
"Exactly. Alright, since we're all acquainted now, I must ask. What has become of my vehicle?"
"Do you mean that blue box?"
"Yes! That is my TARDIS. A beauty, she is."
"How did you fit inside? It seems rather... tight"
"Trade secret, my dear."
"I... see. Err, I don't know exactly what became of it. I think I may of forgotten when you landed"
"What? Oh that's brilliant... Did you really forget where my TARDIS is?"
"Yes. Sorry..."
The Doctor sighed slightly.
Naruto coughed slightly to get the Doctor's attention.
"Wareware wa koko de yoru o sugosu koto ga dekireba isha wa, murasakiiro no ponī o onegaishimasu. Anata wa asa made, watashi wa yorokonde anata ga tasuke o hitsuyō to suru baai, anata no TARDIS no koto o mitsukeru no ni yakudatsudarou matsu koto o itowanainara, sore wa sotchoku ni i~tsu te osoi, to."(Doctor, ask the purple pony if we can spend the night here. It is late, and frankly, if you're willing to wait until morning, I'll gladly help you find your TARDIS thing if you need the help.)
The Doctor relayed Naruto's request to Twilight to which she said yes to allowing them to board for the night.
The Doctor went to express his gratitud-

It was dark, and that was how he liked it. No ponies running around making noise. It was incredibly peaceful during the night. Yes, for Moon Walker, nighttime equals to best time. But peace wasn't what he was looking for currently looking for. Instead he was looking for the rowdy atmosphere of the local pub.
As Moon Walker was walking the path towards the pub, he happened to pass a statue of a Pegasus with her wings covering her face. Although normally he wouldn't pay much mind, this was a path he traveled often, and he knew it rather well and as such he knew that the statue hadn't been there the night before. Although disconcerting, he put it off, and continued on his way to the pub to get wasted.
He never made it.
