Chapters The Whooves Journals: Series One
It was another normal Friday in Ponyville. At least, it was for the mailpony, Derpy. Sure, everypony else was all excited about the Summer Sun Celebration in a few days' time, but that didn't do anything to her mail route. She had it down to a science.
Cover the main street, then drop off something weird at Sugarcube Corner. Swing around down the street which had the old library on it, drop off some kind of package at the clock repair shop. Pick up a clock, deliver it to the owner. Visit Sweet Apple Acres and Carousel Boutique, then finish it off by trying (and failing) to do a cool stunt at Rainbow Dash's cloud house and diving down to Fluttershy's cottage.
Derpy's life was simple. Eat, sleep, deliver mail, get mocked for eyes, repeat. Every single Friday. This particular Friday, it appeared that Rarity had won some sort of lottery. Derpy liked Rarity, she never mocked Derpy's eyes, and was always giving gifts to others.
When it was time to visit Rarity on her mail route, she came with extra glee, accidentally hitting a flagpole with her wing. For once, it didn't fall down! This also made her smile. She knocked on Rarity's door. Rarity opened it, and almost squealed at the package and the letter attached for the lottery winnings. As she left, Rarity tapped her on the shoulder.
And with that, Derpy left. Now what stunt would she try today? She was getting pretty good at the corkscrew, where she'd spin towards the house, drop off the mail and skim the cloud until her wing hit it and she would go down like a metor to Fluttershy's house. Yes, that's what she'd do.
Back at the depot, she saw a huge package come in with Rarity's name on it. She supposed this contained the mannequins she was asking about earlier, and took it upon herself to drag it to Carousel Boutique. On the way, she passed Time Turner, who was waving some kind of glowing-stick-thing around.
"Here ya go, miss Rarity! It was just coming in when I got back!"
So they entered the boutique, mannequins in tow. Rarity opened the package, and began assembling them. She explained why she was so excited: "The special thing about these mannequins, dear, is that they are posable, with a come-to-life spell!". Derpy read the label on the exterior: Nestene Plastics, unicorn posable! Odd name, Nestene. Probably just some kind of in-joke with the bosses of the company, or something. Derpy turned around, in time to see Rarity animating it. She posed it in the way that Applejack sometimes stood and smiled.
"If it's okay with you, dear, I'm going to go fetch an outfit to put on display on this!" Rarity walked away, happy as could be. Derpy felt something tap her on the shoulder. She turned around, fully expecting to see Rarity. It was the mannequin. Derpy screamed.
"Run!" It was Time Turner! What was he doing in the boutique? He never wore anything but that ridiculous black jacket, and it never needed patching. She decided his advice was sound, anyway, and began running.
The Doctor knew Something was wrong about all this. Using another pony as a transmitter was possible, but they'd need a secondary transmitter to do it. Something organic, something containing knowledge, something which had some sort of lens... something nearby. Well, maybe Derpy would know something like that. He was new to the town, and she wasn't, after all. Maybe she'd even be able to come... no. No more loss meant nopony to lose.
Rarity was not okay. She was being attacked by some beast made of coat hangers, and her horn was apparently on the fritz, as the only spell she could cast was the Come To Life spell, and she didn't see how that could help.
Suddenly, out of the shadows came Applejack. Derpy liked her, she accepted people for who they really were. Derpy smiled and waved. She heard a thump and went to go block the door.
The Doctor chucked the envelope at the head of 'Applejack'. It sunk into her 'stetson'.

Derpy, of course, had missed the whole exchange between The Doctor and the creature impersonating Applejack. This was because of her very large, hanger-based problem. Said problem was thumping on the door much harder than the door could take, so Derpy was busy fortifying it. So she was definitely not prepared when the envelope that was shot at The Doctor missed its target and hit her in the back of the head. Hard.
"Oops, sorry." Applejack's front hooves turned into large paddles and 'she' got up and made a beeline for Derpy, just as the hanger creature and the mannequin got through. When Derpy came to her senses, she noted that they appeared to have combined.
Smash!
The doorway behind them was shattered with the force of the blow.
"The TARDIS!"have a time machine, how is it gonna stop that thing?"
As they rushed into the small blue Police Box, Derpy wondered how in Equestria you could fit a time machine in there. What she saw surprised her very much. Very much indeed.
"When you said that it would be bumpy, Doctor, I was not expecting that."
In the library, however, they couldn't find anything. Well, except for the sound of a very angry Applejack, but even that was muffled.
The Mannequins already had The Doctor captured, so Derpy hid in the shadows, and took out Applejack's guards.
"Oi! You!" She fastened a rope around her waist. "You know what I've got? No ECPEs, because the examiners were prejudiced, no P-levels, because no school would accept the way I look. But I have got one thing. In all my years of my eyes going funny when flying, I've learned how to safely crash-land. Doctor, get out that antiplastic you mentioned." And with that, she dove, trusting that the rope was actually attached to something. The antiplastic was knocked out of The Doctor's right hoof, straight into the Nestene consciousness.
"So that just leaves one thing."
A few days later, The Doctor came, and Derpy joined him in the TARDIS.

ECPE stands for Equestrian Certificate of Pony Education, the pony equivalent of GCSEs. P-levels are Pegasus-levels, the pegasus equivalent of A-levels. Oh, wait! I'm supposed to do the 'Next Time' down here!

The End Of Everything, Part 1
Derpy was having the time of her life. She was in a time machine. A time machine! This was more awesome than any Summer Sun Celebration could ever be!ears . Huge. That's the only way to describe them.
"Alright. Outside those doors, it's Princess Flurry Heart II's first time participating in the Summer Sun Celebration."Lunar Empire?"1005 , not 1000."
The Doctor charged out of the TARDIS somewhat grandiosely, declaring:
Suddenly, a voice came over the intercom:rich ."
"Excuse me, but I don't think you two are supposed to be here." A blue pegasus was standing ahead of them.
"Presenting... The Moxx of Balhoon! A selection of trees, from the Forest of Cheem! The Face of Boe! The Adherents of the repeated meme!" Steward was reading off the guests as they came in.
"No, no, Derpy, it's okay, she's only the last pure pegasus. Ponykind, you've spread across the stars! The Pegasi just... interbred with the aliens they met. They'll think you're half-Thal or something. By the way, do you have a scroll on you?"
When Derpy found a private enough spot to write her letter, another blue pony came out of the vents.
The repair mare heard a scuttling deeper in the vents and chased after it. When she reached it, she saw a metal spider.
