Time and again

‘Whhhhhrrrrrr whhhhhrrrrr whhhrrrrrrr’

The sound of the TARDIS filled the air as the iconic blue Police box faded into view.  Out stepped a 6’4” young man with dark brown hair.  Behind him, the Doctor appeared while scolding the latter fellow.

“Why do you always have to be the FIRST one out David? Every single time you just rush to the door, no heed for where we might have stopped. I mean, I appreciate your enthusiasm in exploring new places, but this is EARTH.  Usually I’M the first one out and... are you even listening?” David was staring around, temporarily deaf to the world.

“Hmmm? what? oh uh.... sure. CHRIS? CHRIS GET OUT HERE!” Yelled David. “Why is he always late? How long did we give him?” He asked, turning inquisitively towards the Doctor. “Well,” He replied, looking at his watch, “Should be at least five hours. Hopefully it doesn’t take him that long to pack. By the way, What did you pack?” the Doctor said as he turned to David “Oh you know, uh, stuff...” David sighed and went to ring the doorbell, when suddenly the door exploded out and a frazzled none-to-happy Chris blundered out. Laden with many bags, he was obviously struggling against the weight of them. “You guys said five HOURS. It’s been five DAYS. I’ve hardly gotten any sleep, just WAITING for you to POP out of nowhere!” He turned to the Doctor, “Are you ALWAYS off on your timing?” The Doctor, none to pleased by Chris’ remark, apologetically shrugged and replied, “From time to time.” “Oh just get inside, I wanna get a move on!” David strode into the TARDIS while singing ‘A whole new World’ at the top of his lungs. “Why did I agree to this trip?” Complained Chris as he followed.

~Later, aboard the TARDIS~

“So! I promised you two a fun trip, and a fun trip you shall have! Now, where would you like to go hmm?” Asked the Doctor, whilst turning and twisting various knobs. Chris was the first to speak up. “Well last time we went where David wanted to go, and personally, camping out on a foreign planet with flesh eating plants was NOT what I wanted to do.” David looked as if his plans had been shot down as he sulked and grumpily replied, “Fine.....” None of this, however, fazed the Doctor one bit. “Alright then, Chris my boy! Where to?” Chris took his time while David groaned, “I already had a place picked out! We could have BEEN there by now! Of all the...” “SHUTUP DAVID I’M TRYING TO THINK.” Chris shouted over the din of Davids complaining. After a few minutes, he decided. “I think I want to go to a nice, calm beach. No monsters, no freaky aliens that want to eat me, just a tranquil, peaceful..” “ALRIGHTY THEN! Beach it is! and I know just the place!” Stated the Doctor as he pulled and twisted more strange objects. “Where are we going? I hope it’s exciting, cause a beach sounds BOOOOORRINNGGG.” Said David. “It’ll be a surprise!” The Doctor stated happily. “ALLONS-Y!” He said as he flipped a lever. And that’s when everything went black.

~In the not-to-distant-future-that-acutally-is-two-seconds-from-where-we-left-off~

The TARDIS shook and groaned as it tumbled through the time vortex. “IS THIS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN DOCTOR?” Shouted David as he struggled to be heard over the noise. “NOT REALLY, NO. BUT I’M SURE EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT FINE!”

“I DON’TWANNADIEIDON’TWANNADIE! WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS TRIIIIIIIIIP” Yelled Chris as he went flying across the room. “CHRIS! WATCH OUT FOR TH-” -THWANG- “-pole... ouch....”

Suddenly, everything stopped.

It was so quiet, the silence sounded loud. The silence was so pregnant, that it could have given birth at any moment. And Lo’ an’ behold! The sound of birds chirping filled the TARDIS as its passengers picked, well, peeled themselves off of the floor.

“did someone get the lisence plate of that truck?” Said a woozy Chris as he stumbled around looking for support. The support came in the form of a dizzy David. Chris grabbed on and held on for dear life. “Please stop the room, I’d like to get off sir.” David, not faring too much better, went sprawling as soon  as He felt a foreign weight knocking him off balance. This action of Chris’ sent them both tumbling to the ground. “GET OFF ME YOU BUTT!” yelled a distraught David. “But mommy it’s a Saturday! I don’t wanna go to school!” David promptly slapped Chris with the back of his hand, snapping him out of his daze.”Whu? Whozzat.. AH WAIT! WE’RE GONNA DIE! WE’RE GONNA DIE! OH GOD HELP ME! WE’R-” SLAP! “Thanks, I needed that. While this was going on, the Doctor was running around frantically searching for something.

“Yo, uh, Doctor... why is it so dark?” asked a shaken (but not stirred) David as he stood unsteadily. “We’ve lost power.” The Doctor gravely stated. “And uh, that’s BAD right?” “Oh yes Chris, that’s very bad. And it would also seem we’ve fallen into another dimension.” Chris paled at this, while David visibly brightened. “So, like, a parallel dimension? Like, I’m me but slightly different? OH OH! What if we’re in a world were the genders are reversed! I bet I make a sexy female.” David happily stated while heading for the door. “NO!” shouted the Doctor, causing the two other travellers to jump slightly. “We have fallen into another dimension, but not a parallel one. I’m not sure what’s out there, but it may not be good. The air might not even be breathable for you two. I’ll check it out first.” At this, David became slightly less happy, whereas Chris paled further. “Is there any way to get back to our dimension?” Asked Chris, hoping the answer would be a yes.” “Well,” said the Doctor, “No. we have no power reserves and there are none left in the ship. until further notice, we are stranded.” The Doctor advanced towards the door, slightly hesitant at first, but proceeded to boldly go through the door. ‘Why do the worst things always happen to me?’ Chris asked himeself. “Well Doctor? Is it okay?” The sound of whooshing could be heard, then the sonic screwdriver. “Yes,” called the Doctor, “But it’s rather... odd out here, come have a look, oh, and be prepared.” David practically sprinted for the door, while Chris took his time. Though he wasn’t as thrilled as David to be stuck in a different planet, the thrill of exploring new places was not lost on him. As they exited the door, a wave of... something hit them, they couldn’t explain it; just this, slight, tingly feeling washed over their bodies. “Well that’s wei- wie-” David was at a lost for words (for once) at what he saw. The Doctor looked no longer like his crisp, usual self, but now appeared to be DRAWN! “Doctor! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? YOU HAVE AN OUTLINE!” Yelled Chris. “SHHHH! Keep your voices down! We don’t know what’s around here! And whatever happened to me, happened to you as well, look at yourselves!” Chris and David inspected themselves and found that they too, appeared to be drawn. It was about at this moment, that the two decided to take a look around. In the distance, they spotted a very familiar mountain with an even more familiar city perched on it. “I think I know where we are.” Stated a dazed, and dazzled David. “And that would be?” Asked the Doctor. Chris and David glanced at each other, then back to the Doctor and said simultaneously, “Equestria.”

Apparently, this did not ring any bells in the Doctor’s noggin. “Equestria? Where’s that? Have you been here before?” David chuckled, “No Doctor, but this is from  that show Chris and I watch.” The Doctor looked surprised. “You mean My Little Pony? As in, the cartoon that you and other human males watch even though it was designed for adolescent female’s cartoon?” David laughed as Chris stood up for the cartoon. “It’s not for kids ONLY, It’s got a lo-” “Yes, yes, I know, and I don’t judge you for liking it. But the fact that we’ve fallen into a cartoon? I mean, it’s not unheard of, but the odds of that are near impossible!” Chris was struck with a sudden idea. “Wait, so does this mean we’re in a cartoon? as in, people can see us? Are we really in the world Lauren Faust created?” The Doctor answered calmly, “No, Lauren Faust did not create this world. BUT, many cartoons are formed because the writers have a special connection to the dimension. for example, they could dream about it at night with very, very vivid dreams that might cause them to write about it, or in her example, make a cartoon about it.” David was the next to speak up. “So, does that mean all our information on this place is incorrect? Is our info simply created by Lauren?” “No, in all likeliness, this is the EXACT same world as the one you’ve seen. Like I said before, they see these worlds VERY vividly.”

Suddenly in the distance, a brown earth pony appeared. He had a hourglass mark on his flank. Wearing a smile, he happily trotted right up to the group of humans plus one Time Lord. “How may I help you lost souls?” He said, still smiling. “Doctor Whooves!” The two humans said, rather loudly. “Erm, well yes, that’s what the locals call me. But my real name is the Doctor. How did you know my name?” “Now wait a minute, I’M the Doctor here.” Said the Humanoid Doctor. “No, last time I checked, I was the Doctor.” Chris glanced at David nervously, when he suddenly spoke up. “Wait a minute, maybe this universe more closely connected than we previously thought! Doctor, uh, pony Doctor! Do you have two male companions with you? And do you travel around in a TARDIS?” The pony Doctor thought for a moment. “Yes, I travel in a TARDIS,” at that, the two Humans became gradually more excited that they might get to meet themselves in pony form. “But I have only one companion, and she’s a mare.” Boom. Right in the happiness. The two became slightly downtrodden, but one cannot be TOO downtrodden in the land of Equestria. “Well THAT’S disappointing.” stated Chris. “Maybe you two should go inside and get things straightened out.” David nodded his head in agreement. “I’d say that sounds reasonable, and why don’t we refer to you as Doctor ‘Whooves’ from now on, as to avoid confusion, eh?” asked the Doctor. At this, the pony nodded, and headed for the TARDIS, when he suddenly turned around and said, “But don’t wander off, I’ll introduce you to the locals once we get things straightened out.” The two boys nodded as the duo of Doctors descended into the TARDIS.

“Wait,” said David, “If we can see Canterlot from here, then where’s Ponyville?”

“Uh, behind you...” David spun around and saw.... the TARDIS. He walked to the other side and THEN saw Ponyville in all it’s glory. It was all he could do to contain the squee that was building in his gut, and Chris appeared to be having the same problem. They stared at Ponyville for about an hour before Chris snapped out of it and noticed a rainbow trail headed towards them. “David?” “Yes?” “How many things do you know of that leave a rainbow contrail?” “Two, to be precise.” “Uh huh, and which of those two things would be located in Equestria?” “Why, Rainbow Dash of course!” “That’s what I thought. The Doctor did say not to make contact with the locals, right?” “Uh, yeah...” “Then I think we should RUN!”

The two sprinted for the door of the TARDIS, and flung themselves in, slamming the door behind them. The Rainbow maned pegasus arrived shortly after and began banging on the door. “I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE YOU ALIENS! ARE YOU TRYING TO SPY ON US? WELL I’M RAINBOW DASH! I’M THE FAS-” Suddenly the door to the TARDIS swung open and out stepped Doctor Whooves. “Hello there, Rainbow. Might I ask why you are pounding on the door and yelling?”

Rainbow tried to look around Whooves to see what was inside, but he kept blocking her view. “I saw some weird aliens come in here, I wanna know who they are, what they want, and why they’re here. NOW!” Whooves shifted nervously, “Well my dear Rainbow, that will all be explained in due time. but, erm, until then... Bye!” He zipped inside the TARDIS slamming the door behind him, leaving a none-to-pleased pegasus outside. She banged on the door for a while, then finnaly gave up at the futility of the situation. “I’m gonna find out what those things were. No WAY am I letting another invasion happen on MY watch.” Rainbow took off in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres, in search of Applejack.

~Meanwhile, inside the TARDIS~

“WELL! I’m glad THAT’S over.” Said Chris, whose attitude had greatly improved in the past five minutes as reality set in that he was in the place of his dreams. “This is gonna be the BEST vacation EVER!” David looked at him skeptically. “It’s not a vacation you know, we’re stuck here. Think of it more like moving away from your family. FOREVER.” This statement, however, did not dampen Chris’ spirits in the slightest. “Well, considering I was prepared to die in a frozen wasteland, this scenario is DRASTICALLY better.” David just rolled his eyes, then a thought struck him, “Hey, where’s the Docto- erm, Doctors?” “Uh, I think I saw them go down th-”

“Right here!” said the Doctor as his face appeared right under the platform they were standing on. “And just finished too!” Chris and David glanced at each other. “Finished what?” said Chris. Whooves peeked up over the side of the platform, before jumping up onto it. “We now have POWER!”

Chris looked slightly disappointed at this. “You mean we’re going home?” The Doctor soon joined them on the platform. “No, you see; We’re now running on Equestria’s universe’s power. My TARDIS can only run on OUR universe’s power. But, we have configured the TARDIS to now run on Equestria’s universe’s power. You can’t travel through time, but you can still warp around.” David looked confused. “How did you manage to do THAT?” The Doctors looked at each other and chuckled, before simultaneously saying, “You wouldn’t understand.”

~In Ponyville square~

Twilight Sparkle was enjoying her morning immensely. She had managed to triple check all her lists; twice. Spike had made her favorite breakfast, daffodil pancakes. And now she was on her way to Sofas and Quills to buy some much needed articles for writing. And they were even on sale! ‘Ahh, this has got to be the best morning ev-”

Just before she finished her thought, the sound of ‘whrrrrring’ could be heard throughout the town square. Ponies were looking around trying to find the source of the sound, when suddenly, a blue Police box faded into view. Twilight couldn’t believe her eyes. ‘WHAT in Equestria is THAT? What if it’s an attack? what if it’s peaceful? What if the mysterious blue box is sentient?!?!’ She cautiously approached it, and spoke up when she was within ten feet. “Hello! Um, welcome to Equestria! Mister, uh, blue box? My name is Twilight Sparkle, what’s yours?” Then a muffled reply from a vaguely familiar sounding voice was heard. “Well hello Twilight!” Suddenly, the door swung open, and out stepped Doctor Whooves. Twilight fell onto her rump, dumbfounded. “DOCTOR?!? How did you teleport? You’re not a unicorn! How did you use magic?” The Doctor chuckled. “Oh my dear Twilight, one day you might understand. But that’s not why I’m here! Oh no, you see; we have GUESTS!” Twilight then gave him a puzzled look. “Guests? what kind of guests?” The Doctor then began motioning for everypony to gather round. “These guests are not from our world! In fact, they’re not even from our dimension! Due to a series of unfortunate events, they have become stranded here. But I assure you, they are peaceful, they mean no harm to anypony. Now please welcome them, the HUMANS!” Many ponies gasped as the trio of humans plus one Time Lord stepped out of the box.

A seafoam green unicorn suddenly dashed towards her house while shouting ‘I told you so!’

“Wha- hu- HOW? How did you all fit in that box?!?” Twilight asked as she sat there, dumbfounded. “You would be the one to ask that Twilight.” Said Doctor Whooves. “The answer is simple; It’s bigger on the inside!” he stated happily. “Now, to introduce you to them, the tall one’s name is David, the shorter one is Chris, and the dapper fellow in the coat is the Doctor.” The crowd murmured in wonder at the trio before them. It was several moments before Twilight regained her voice. “But, where are you from? and how did you get here?”

David took this opportunity to take center stage. “We were traveling through time when we accidentally fell into your dimension. So uh, we’re kinda stuck... So until further notice, we’re living in Equestria!”

“Well, YOU two are living here.” David and Chris turned to look at the Doctor. “While sitting in one place and getting to know ponies may be a dream come true you, I’d rather not. So, Whooves and I are off to explore the universe of Equestria! I’ll come visit from time to time to check up on you. Think of it as another history course or... something. And David,” He said as he tossed him a key, “I left some instructions on how to drive the TARDIS, It’s drastically changed, and you should be able to understand it.” “What about me?!” Said a rather distraught Chris. “Don’t I get anything?” The Doctor glanced nervously around. “Well, uh, I guess you can have a key, but NO driving from you, you haven't been around enough to understand it quite yet. Maybe David here will teach you?” Chris grumbled at that, but still accepted the key. Whooves began to walk away, and the Doctor followed. “But WAIT! You’re just leaving us?!” The Doctor glanced back, “It’ll be an adventure, have fun! ALLONS-Y!” And with that the Doctor’s ran off, leaving behind a dumbfounded duo to stand there.

“Well,” said Chris, “Twilight? can we go to your library and discuss things?” Twilight looked at him as she closed her mouth, which had been hanging open for the last minute or so. “Sur- wait, how did you know I live in a library?” David facepalmed as Chris said, “We’ll explain later.”

They set off in the direction of the library, walking down the streets as ponies gawked and stared at the duo. “Do you hear that?” said David to Chris. “Hear what?” “There’s a faint buzzing sound, almost sounds lik-” suddenly he jumped back, just in time to dodge a Rainbow blur, which, coincidentally collided with Chris. “I’VE GOT YOU NOW!” Shouted the familiar Rainbow colored pegasus. “RAINBOW! get off of him!” yelled Twilight as she used her magic to surgically remove the pony from the man. “TWI! You gotta listen to me! I saw these guys sneaking around outside of town! They’re trouble!” Twilight facehoofed and was about to explain to her the situation, when suddenly, a rope wrapped itself around David’s arm. “Ah got ya’ now, ya’ varmints!” At this, David began to struggle to keep his footing. It turned into a tug ‘o war game between the two. Applejack was seemingly winning, when David wrapped the rope around a post, and slipped his hand out of the rope. He jumped, grabbed Twilight, and held her out to Applejack shouting, “TAKE HER! TAKE HER!” It was at this moment that Twilight had had enough. Now, Twilight is a reasonable pony, and she has quite a lot of patience.

But after so long, even the most patient ponies snap.

“ENOUGH!” She shouted with a magically enhanced voice which sent Rainbow, Applejack, and Chris flying, and sent David and herself sprawling from the recoil. Once limbs and hooves were straightened out and returned to their rightful owners, Twilight instructed them all. “Alright, I want everyone inside the Library, no more fighting or shouting, just Get. In. The. Library.” David leaned over and whispered into Applejack’s ear, “Is she always this scary?” Applejack just shrugged it off and advanced towards the Library. The others follow suit, and after about Thirty minutes, one speech about the extra terrestrial, and hundreds of questions, they all sat down and sipped on tea. “Well ‘Ahm glad we got this here problem straightened out. Ah’ll go ahead and tell any customers that come to th’ stand about these two.” Twilight happily smiled. “That would be great, Applejack! But there is one more question I have for you two; how did you know I lived in a library?” Chris and David nervously looked at each other. “You explain man, you’re the one who let it slip.” David said as he took a long draught from his mug of tea. Chris sighed and said, “Alright, alright, you got me. You see, from where we’re from, you guys are the main characters on a television series called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.” The trio of ponies looked at him oddly. “What’s a ‘tell-y-vision’?” said Applejack. “It’s like a film projector, just, uh, better technology.”

David said as he reclined on his pillow. All three ponies collectively said ’ohhhhh’ when Twilight spoke up, with a tinge of hysteria in her voice. “D-d-does this mean, w-we’re nothing but a roll of film?!” David laughed as Chris facepalmed. “No, Twilight, the Doctor explained it to us. The director simply has a connection to your universe, and saw some of your adventures. You’re very real, as are we.” Chris nodded along at David’s explanation. This seemed to have quite the calming effect on Twilight.

Suddenly, Pinkie Pie popped out from behind a bookshelf. “Omigosh I heard there were new ponies in Ponyville and whenever there are new ponies I have to throw them a party but then I saw you weren’t ponies and so now I have to throw a ‘Welcome to Equestria’ party and I’ll invite the whole town and It’ll be so much fun and there’ll be streamers and balloons and music and we’ll have so much fun playing games like pin the tail on the pony an-” Pinkie’s chatter was quickly silenced with a cyan colored hoof which was inserted into her mouth. “Pinkie, how long were you listening?” Rainbow said as she removed her hoof from Pinkie’s mouth. “Oh, since the beginning!”

There was facehoofing all around with the exception of one facepalm, and one human holding his sides trying to contain his inner squee. Once David had full control of his facilities, he pulled Pinkie into a hug, which elicited another collective facehoof/palm. Twilight was the first to speak up. “So, what do you two plan on doing?” Chris spoke up, “Well, I plan on staying here in Ponyville for a while and getting familiarized with the locals.” Applejack nodded and Rainbow said, “And ‘cause you get to see awesome me, right?” “Eh, sure, that too.” Twilight turned to David, who was still hugging Pinkie. “Uh, David? David? DAVID?” David snapped out of his trance yelling, “I REGRET NOTHING!” which, yet again, caused facepalm/hoofing to happen. “You guys should probably stop that, you’re gonna get brain damage..” said David, as he finally released Pinkie Pie. “That was the best hug EVER!” She said as she bounced around the group. “AUGH! David! can you PLEASE just answer my question?” At this point, Twilight was again reaching the end of her rope. “Oh, well I plan on going to Canterlot to get things straightened out with the Princesses. So sorry to rain on your parade Chris, but we’re going to Canterlot! Plus if we split up, the writer will have a heck of a time keeping things straight” Pinkie nodded in agreement, completely understanding the explanation.

Unfortunately, this pushed Twilight over the edge and she fainted in frustration. “Uh, David? I think you broke Twi...”

~One Hour Later~

“She moved!” “I think she’s coming too.” “I hope the dear is okay...” “Oh, my..” “Can I poke her?” -Facepalm- “No, David, you may not poke her.”

Twilight gradually came back to reality, and as she opened her eyes, she saw all of her friends, and the two strange visitors. She sat up, only to lay back down as a wave of nausea swept over her. “Ooooooh, what happened?”

“You died!”

“DAVID! She didn’t die, she just fainted.”

Rarity was the first to speak up. “You fainted darling, after you did, Rainbow went to get Fluttershy, who was at my house giving Opal a checkup. When we heard, Fluttershy, Spike, and I rushed over here as fast as we could. They explained to us the situation.” Twilight brought a hoof to her forehead.

“How long was I out?”

Chris spoke up, “About an hour.” Spike came in carrying a platter of sandwiches. “We sent a letter to the Princesses about the situation. They leave in the morning for the castle.” David nodded at Chris. “Yup, they’re in for a shock, they wondered why we didn’t need a chariot, I’m gonna see if I can scare the beejeebers out of them.” At this statement, many ponies and one human applied their palms/hooves to their faces in an attempt to deflect the absurdity of the statement. “Oh, and uh, you guys might want to move a bit.” Said David as he dashed out of the building with Chris. minutes later, the sound of ‘Whrrrring’ filled the room. In the middle of the library, a blue box materialized. Everpony but Twilight stared at it in shock. When suddenly, the door burst open and out stepped Chris. He was drenched in sweat. “I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DROVE US INTO A HYRDA’S NEST!” David walked out, smiling sheepishly, “Well, it was my first try, cut me some slack!” They looked out the window to the west. The sun had just set and ponies were headed for their houses. “Oh my, I need to get home and feed my little animals... um... please excuse me for leavin- EEP!” It was at that moment that David took the chance to glomp her. “It’s okay Flutters! Go on home, I’ll see ya tomorrow, we’re expected at the palace at Eleven, so stop by and see us off!” She muttered a shy ‘ok’ as she gracefully flew away. “Well dears, I’m afraid I too must be getting home. I do hope Sweetie hasn’t destroyed my boutique in my absence.” Rarity said as she rushed out the doors. “Ah reckon Ah better get home as well. Gotta git up in th’ mornin’” Applejack excused herself and set off for home. “Ah’ll see ya in th’ mornin’!” Pinkie bounced towards the door. “I really had fun talking to you and meeting you I can’t wait to see you tomorrow I hope you trip goes safely I’ll have to bake you some cupcak-” Her voice trailed of as she bounced her way in the direction of sugarcube corner. “Well, When you’re as awesome as me, you gotta rest up. I’ll catch you all tomorrow!” Rainbow then proceeded to bolt towards the window, but missed and slammed into the wall. This elicited a ‘oops’ from her as many books fell from their shelves. She flew out the window and headed home. “Well, It’s just us now I guess. Spike, get out the cots we use for sleepovers for these two. I wish you would stay so I can learn more about you.” David just waved her off. “don’t worry, we’ll be back in a bit.” She stood up to head upstairs, but was a bit unsteady on her hooves. David picked her up, causing her to emit an ‘eep!’ and proceeded to carry her up the stair to her bed, while Chris helped Spike with the cots. David tucked her into her bed and patted her on the head, then joined the other two downstairs. “Welp, don’t know ‘bout you two, but I’m beat.” He said as he flopped on the cot. “G’night!” and he was out like a light. Spike glanced at Chris, who shrugged and follow David in flopping down on his cot. “See ya’ in the morning Spike.” Spike just sighed and nodded as he lumbered up the stairs, his eyelids growing progressively heavier with each step.

~The Next Morning~

After breakfast, everypony had arrived to see them off. “Well all, I guess I’ll see ya in a bit!” Pinkie jumped into David’s arms hugging him, then suddenly produced a box of cupakes from her hair. “These are for you!” David smiled widely. “Thanks Pinkie!” He took the cupcakes inside the TARDIS. Chris said his goodbyes and waltzed inside as well. “Well all, We’re off! See you all later! ALLONS-Y” the sound of the TARDIS filled the Library as it faded from view. The ponies could have sworn they heard ‘TO ADVENTURE!’ as it disappeared.

“Do you think we shoulda jest let them go without knowing much about them?”

“I don’t think we could have stopped them if we tried, Applejack.”
