Author notes I was listening to this while I was writing this.


The blue filly, aparently named Blue Breeze, excitedly trotted in front of him. A strange thing was that he wasn't hearing the voice. No distorted insane voice inside his head, just his own thoughts. He just shrugged it of as coincedence and kept following the green maned filly. He knew how to get to the castle in the blink of an eye, but he liked walking a lot more. Teleporting like he did was... weird. It's just like when your arm or leg is sleeping, only it's your whole body and it's twenty times worse. Luckily the feeling stops after less than five seconds. He was amazed at how quickly the little filly had accepted him.

'If only the humans accepted me that easily. It would also be a lot easier if I could talk and If there wasn't a voice inside my head driving me to kill.' He thought to himself. He saw Blue Breeze peek around a corner to see if anyone, or anypony, was around. She gestured hime to come. When he followed her around the corner he saw Canterlot's gate. It was big enough for him to walk through.

'I bet even one of those trucks would fit through this.'

"I don't think we can get any further than this without being seen!" The blue filly whispered.

"You sure?" He wrote. A little plan had formed in his head.

"Do trees grow in a forest? Of course I'm sure! The night guards patrol here! There is no way we're gonna get any closer without being seen!"

"Watch me." And with that being said (written), he picked the filly up and started climbing the wall.

"I still think this is a bad idea!" She whispered, looking really nervous. He just shrugged and kept climbing.

"Even if they catch us, I'll teleport away." He wrote, using his tentacles.

.....

.....

"You have tentacles? Cool!" The filly had a look of awe on her face. It was strange how quickly she could get over things that scare her. He climbed into some shadows, making him and the invisible to any normal eyes. He noticed how big the castle actually was. He had probably already reached above fifty meters, but he wasn't even halfway yet. It wasn't as big as a skyscraper, but still. The amount of marble used for this must be insane.

"Are we there yet?"

'Oh no. Not this.'

"Are we there yet?"

'No. Anything but this.'

"Are we there yet?"

"No." He replied.

...

"How about now?"

"Still no."

"And now?"

"NO."

"What about now?"

"Please stop asking."

"Okay!"

'Wait what? That actually worked? I remember one of the more intelligent ghouls to ask this non-stop, and this was all?'

"Are we there yet?" But the filly had other plans.

'I knew it.' He mentally facepalmed.

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

"No. And please, I'm begging you, stop asking." He was starting to get anoyed.

"Okay." And this time she did stop.

During the climb he noticed quite a few windows. He sometimes looked into one but there were only sleeping ponies in them. Except for one. It was a big window, connected to a balcony. He looked inside and saw a Dark blue unicorn inside. After taking a better look(?) he notice this one also had wings. With shock he realised he was looking at the princess of the night. Luna. She was looking at something at the wall. It looked like a picture, but he couldn't see what or who was on it. He noticed the alicorns left ear flick and he continued climbing as fast as he could. He hid behind an edge and looked to see if the princess would come out, while Blue Breeze was still a bit disoriented by his sudden movements. The alicorn walked out and looked around.

"We could have sworn we saw something..." The princess took one more look around and then walked back in.

'That almost went horribly wrong.' He checked if Blue was still okay. He would have raised an eyebrow if he had one when he saw her poke a spider. He tapped her on the shoulder and gestured her to hold on. He continued his climb and he noticed how much progress he had made while listening to the filly's anoying questions and his near miss with the night princess. But when he got to the roof, what he saw killed all joy. There was Luna. And she looked pissed.

"We knew it."

Meanwhile...

Twilight and The Doctor were sitting around a table inside the TARDIS.

"And Twilight, did you get any information?" The Doctor asked hopefully.

"I got nothing. The parents refused to answer or to let me talk to their foal." She laid her head down on the table out of annoyance. "And how about you? Did you find anything usefull?"

"Unless you call a bunch of hungry rats usefull, then yes." The Doctor said, his face blank.

"So let me get this straight... All that searching in the house and the aurroundings only provided rats?"

"Yep."

"UGH!" The lavender mare slammed her head in the table out of frustration.

"Are you alright?" The Doctor asked. "Maybe you should take a rest."

"Oh, I'm fine. I'm totally perfect!" Twilight said, sarcasm dripping from her words.

"Really?" Apparently The Doctor was completely oblivious to the sarcasm. Twiligh's left eye twitched in response and her right ear started fluttering.

"NO! I'M NOT ALRIGHT! MY FRIEND IS IN THE HOSPITAL, ONE OF THEM IS A GHOUL, MONSTERS ARE POPPING UP EVERYWHERE, AND, AND, And, and... I miss my brother..." After that she covered her head and started crying soflty.

"*sigh* I understand why you are upset Twilight. Do you want to be alone?"

"yes, please..." She whispered.

"I'll wait in the main room until you feel better." The Doctor walked out the room and closed the door, leaving Twilight alone.
