A lost universe, a lost child

Auntie Pie

Same day....

“Well,  yes but there is more in the cloths room…..no, of course not, why would I call it a clos…..”

“DOCTOR!OMGOMGOMG! ITS REALLY YOU!” The doctor was cut off from his conversation with Colgate by a pink, bouncy pony who had somehow heard of him.

“Excuse me. Do I know you? “The doctor asked the crazed pony.

“I see the books you’ve been reading. I’m sure you’ve read about me by now. Pinkie dian pie.” Pinkie said.

The doctor searched his memory for the name and remembered that she had a number of hit records and was the element of laughter. He also remembered something about her laughing to make things go away.

“Yes….yes. I remember reading about something like that. Although to me it sounded too familiar with the scary things disappearing part…” the doctor stopped, noticing her wide grin.

“Go on doctor.”

“No. wait. Are you  ...”The doctor stuttered.

“yep. Oh. And just so you know you are the one that brought me here. “She giggled. The doctor was lost for words.

“But...But… how are you grown up? I’m pretty sure you where just an tiny thing when the TARDIS picked you up a week ago. And I thought we dropped it off at Vezxard?” His mind raced with questions.

“Wellll. I didn’t want to leave so I grabbed back onto the TARDIS. As for my age, when you went through the black hole I fell off and landed in a different time stream. Now it’s my turn for a question though! Why do you have a filly with you?” Pinkie turned a questioning glare towards Colgate, who again had fallen asleep during the conversation.

“Her parents are having problems. Left her where the TARDIS crashed. Timey-wimey stuff and all, you know? I’m planning to raise her up as a time pony, use the TARDIS as a home. Settle down to raise her a couple years before getting into trouble in a new universe.” The doctor grinned from ear to ear, happy to talk to someone who understood. “But I have one more question miss pinkie. You tenzas usually have a sense of right and wrong. You wouldn’t happen to know if there are more of us. Would you?” the doctor looked to her hopefully, desperate to know if other alien life forms from his own universe could have possibly made it over.

“Sadly no. There isn’t any more as far as I can tell, but you never know. My sensors don’t stretch very far.” At this a sad sigh escaped the doctor, but neither of them was sad for long seeing that they had found each other.

“Doctor! Would you like to come to sugar cube corner and pick out a cake for your 'welcome to ponyville I'm opening a clock shop party'?"

"Pinkie, I would simply love to! We also need to buy a shop for the party to be at. I would rather every pony didn't party in my TARDIS. Oh and by the way call me Clockworks for now. Trying to fit in.“  The doctor said with a wink, ready for the adventure of a normal life. He looked over pinkie pie to the shocked and confused Twilight Sparkle.

"Thank you miss sparkle. I'll be back again tomorrow to read up on equestrian history." Of course there was no reply. The doctor and pinkie walked out the door, Colgate on pinkies back. A few moments later spike walked into the library, mail in hand.

"Guess what twilight! Pinkies having a party! Ohhh. Her parties are the best! I can’t wait to go. I bet it's for that pony that came in...Today.......um....Twilight?" The unicorn had been standing there unmoving except for an eye twitch. Spike new that eye twitch meant that twilight was about to freak out. Last time she did that it had put the whole town in chaos.

"No Twilight. Not again." Spike sighed. This would be a rough week.

On the way to sugar cube corner the doctor and pinkie found a building for the store to be in, talked about raising Colgate (witch pinkie decided to help the doctor with) and food. They talked a lot about food. Both hated pears but loved most any other thing. After pinkie finished giving the doctor a grand tour of sugar cube corner when they arrived, they put Colgate down to rest in miss cakes spare cradle. Afterwards they sat down to share some cherry changes.

“So now that we have found a cake for the party, and you passed out the invitations, what do I need to know about being a pony?” the doctor asked, curious to know pony customs.

“Well, you should know that unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies like us are the three pony races. They are all equal so no questions there……” pinkie continued to go over basic pony behavior and about Equestria. The doctor continued to ask questions. Soon they started up a conversation about Colgate.

“How will she know how to use magic? It’s not like I can teach her that. And what about school?” The doctor asked, worried that he would forget something.

“We have a school here in ponyville run by a supper de duper nice pony named Cheerilee. She teaches just normal school, not magic. Twilight does magic classes during the school year on Sundays if you’re interested. Colgate still wouldn’t start for about five years now but better to make plans early.” Pinkie said. Before the doctor could ask any more questions, a bell rang as a orange earth pony with a Stetson (Stetsons are cool) walked in the store doors.

“Howdy sugar cube. Whose ya friend?” the mare asked pinkie in a thick country accent as she trotted over and sat next to them.

“Hi Applejack. This is the doc…” the doctor gave her a look and she remembered his “settling down” name.

“Clockworks this is AJ. AJ this is clockworks. An old friend of mine. Really old friend of mine.” When pinkie emphasized this the doctor gave her a hurt look while apple jack looked amused.

“Do I really look that old? Its tuff to keep the looks when your 1103. Give or take a few decades of course. Well anyway, nice to meet you madam.” The doctor finished this off when he saw the odd look from apple jack. The group talked about weather and such until they heard Colgate crying in the back room.

“One minute Colgate! I’m in the middle of a conversation!” Shouted the doctor, who listened to the crying a few moments before speaking again.

“Sorry madams, my niece is hungry and the smell of baked foods is overpowering her.” The doctor trotted into the back room for a moment. When he came out the chair thing was situated on his back with a blue filly in it. The doctor trotted to the door calling his farewells. Just before leaving the filly made a gurgling noise and he stopped. He turned towards pinkie with a wide grin on his face.

“Colgate wants to know if it’s okay for her to call you auntie pinkie pie.” Pinkie smiled even larger than before (which must have really hurt).

“I would be honored Colgate.” she cooed to the baby. Farewells where again said and the two retreated to their cave in the everfree forest.
