The slow pacing whirr of the Tardis was all that could be heard, the Doctor was hard at work on the Time and Dimensional Temporal shift. After the finale against the Daleks, the Tardis was grounded in Equestria, Ponyville.

“Maybe if I attach this and this,” the Doctor mumbled away about temporal shifts and science. His ever faithful, yet ‘bubbly’, companion Ditzy Doo was outside enjoying a picnic and the scenery. Bright, warm sunshine shone throughout Ponyville, a dazzling circular rainbow exploded across the sky, Rainbow Dash was out practicing her Sonic Rainboom.

The refreshing breeze blew through the trees, creating a lovely leaf dance. Leaves fell in spectacular show, they swopped down and up as the breeze cut through them and finally they fell to the ground, forming a picturesque pattern.

“Um… Doctor, maybe you should stop working and come out here. Just relax, we have plenty of time, it’s not like we’re rushing anywhere.”

“Maybe I should take a break, in fact I will take a break,” there was a slight grunting noise as the Doctor lifted himself up from underneath the control panel. A door creaked as it closed behind the Doctor.

As the Doctor looked outside and into the landscape, “It truly is a wonderful day Ditzy,” the Doctor spoke with a peaceful, pleased voice.

In the far background, the majestic castle of Canterlot could be slightly seen, there were some clouds in the way but it was still visible. Rays of sunlight beamed off the golden capped roof. Life in Canterlot must have been really ‘adventurous’, yet there some hints of sophistication. The Doctor had only ever been to Canterlot once, for the Summer Sun Celebration, back when he and Ditzy first meet each other. The Doctor sat down next to Ditzy, he looked at her. She was staring in the blue sky, smiling. The Doctor had grown a special relationship with Ditzy, even though she may have a ‘bubbly’ personality, deep within, the Doctor felt love once again. He thought about Rose, both were very similar to each other. The Doctor felt great remorse for Rose, and just the thought gave a tear, in his mind he was afraid that he would lose Ditzy as he lost Rose but he was determined to avoid this fate again.

In the clear blue sky, the Doctor saw a pegasus heading towards him, the pegasus seemed to wear some sort of armor, shining golden plating covered most of the torso and head. Fashioned similar to a Roman’s Galea, the helmet was topped off with an extension of the mane onto a stand. The same told for his shoes. The view of the pegasus became clearer and clearer.

“That’s a Pegasus Guard, you can tell by the golden armor that he serves Princess Celestia, but why is he heading towards us,” Ditzy spoke with a ‘bubbly’ voice as always, but seemed surprised.

The pegasus guard landed in front of the duo, a clear loud voice spoke “By her demands, Princess Celestia herself, would appreciate for you to have an audience with her.”

The pegasus looked at the Doctor as he spoke, silently declaring that Celestia would like to see the Doctor and him only. The Doctor knowingly said, “That is such an honor, but I am not leaving Miss. Ditzy here her own.”

The guard took a few of moments of thought and came to a conclusion, he nodded to show that Ditzy could join the Doctor to see Princess Celestia, he then flew away into the sky, back to the castle. Both the Doctor and Ditzy entered the Tardis, quickly sprinting towards the control panel, pressing buttons and pulling levers, the Doctor started the Tardis in haste as he would not want the Princess to be waiting. The Tardis whirred loudly as it dematerialized from it’s location. A thump went was the Tardis landed outside the golden plated arched door of Canterlot Castle.

One of the Royal Unicorns Guards stationed on either side of the castle door greeted the Doctor and Ditzy, “The Princess is waiting for you inside.”

The guard waved his forehoof at another guard that signaled to take the Doctor and Ditzy inside to see Celestia. The unicorn lead them to a great hallway, inside was just simply breath-taking. Huge towering paned windows had artworks inscribed into them. The soft and luscious maroon carpet gave a supple feeling to the Doctor’s hooves. At the end of the hallway, there was another arched door like the one at the entrance, a luminous glow of purple framed the door and the unicorn’s horn. The large doors creaked wide open and they both entered. The unicorn stood outside, he gave a nod and closed the doors. Paned windows surround both side, and still they were on the supple carpet. There she was, Princess Celestia sat at the very end of the room, her throne be in the the middle and seemed more like so to divide the whole room in two. Celestia spread her wings, the luminescence of the light she gave off emitted warm happy feelings in the two.

The Princess spoke in a soft voice, yet it was loud enough to hear. “Welcome my Doctor, I’ve heard about the recent stories of yours. I can see that you and Ditzy have a great bond together.”

“Thank you your majesty, it’s very nice to hear about the knowledge of me. Ditzy can be what I would say ‘bubbly’ but she is a great companion. What is the concern that brings me here?” The Doctor spoke in a formal manner, being most respectful towards the Princess.

“Uh, yes the Doctor has been a great friend to me. We’ve traveled across lands seeing wonderful landscapes. We have the most fun of times.” Ditzy spoke in the voice that always made the Doctor produce a small smile.

‘Friend!? Ditzy thinks I’m a great friend. It always seemed like she was a great companion, but she just called me a friend. From what I’ve heard, Friends are an important belief here. Quite touching to hear this,’ the Doctor thought silently and as a reaction from Ditzy calling him a great friend.

“Heartfelt at most, but the reason why I’ve brought you here today Doctor is because there were various fires throughout some towns, even the large ones. This is no natural cause my Doctor, field reports say that all the fires started exactly at the same time, there is enough proof that this was an intentional cause.” Celestia’s voice went from soft to concerned.

Suddenly, the door creaked open behind them, there stood another pony. Surrounded by shadow and mist, it was hard to recognize. This was no regular pony, this one had both a horn and a pair of wings, an alicorn. The Alicorn spoke in a aggressive, loud booming voice , “We demand to knowest who thee is and why thou cometh here.” The Doctor just stared dumbfounded.
