Ponyville park

William was walking enjoying the sights of Ponyville as in the distance he saw two familiar ponies a brown stallion with a hourglass cutie mark and a grey mare with a blond mane and bubbles as a cutie mark "Oh that is just beautiful" William said softly smiling at them in the distance

"Is something interesting Darling?" Rarity asked looking at William who had a big adoring smile.
"Oh nothing I just saw what looked like one of my heroes , I mean if it is him I don't know but someone can dream" William replied .

"Well darling if you enjoy the park I could go get you something to drink just don't trot of and stay in the park and don't get into any trouble" Rarity said kindly letting the man enjoy his little moment

"Don't worry I'll stay and I'd love some soda but you don't have to do that you've already given me so much" William said but quickly got interrupted by Rarity. "No it's nothing darling. Now I'll be right back" Rarity said before trotting off but as William looked at Rarity trot off he saw a grey version of the same stallion look from the distance at Derpy and what William thought was the doctor. William walked to the grey looking version of the Doctor. "Reminiscing about something Doctor?" William said to the grey discorded looking version of the stallion.

The grey stallion looked at William "if it isn't William are you here to nag my ears off about my life or maybe preach to me about my past" the discorded Doctor said with venom ,exhaustion and suffering hanging from his words
"Well at least I know I wasn't wrong about who you are and you meet me in the future cool but no" William sat next to the discorded Doctor causing him to lash out angrily "So what are you doing then wasn't I clear enough I didn't want your company ,leave me alone"the discorded doctor shouted

"I know you don't mean that it's kind of funny meeting one of my heroes like this then again can't complain 10th regeneration version of you my personal favourite in a equine world but I can't see you like this so even If this for me is the first time meeting you , I think I know a few things that might cheer you up" William replied

"Oh buck off you're always trying to put things in their place making sure the timeline you seem to know is close to what you think it should be even with you being in the equation so they have their happiness tell me where is the fairy tale like ending for me and my people , why do you even try?" the discorded doctor said angrily with tears in his eyes as he holds William by his collar

"I try because where I come from there are tales ... stories of which I take inspiration one being of this universe and one well about you , I don't know how you came here hell I don't know how I came here but I can tell you this , I look up to you and I know right now you're in a dark place so can I ask one of my heroes to look into parts of my memories" William asked looking at the doctor with compassion , who slightly became brown being called an inspiration and hero

"What would be the point you said before this is the first time we met" the discorded doctor said sadly as he looked at a younger him with derpy "Not like it matters" the discorded doctor said in a tone filled with regret

"Not entirely true but if I'd say things you wouldn't listen like you are now so why not look , seeing is believing" William replies as he smiled at the discorded doctor

"If it will stop your stupid grinning and you will let me be in peace then fine" the discorded doctor replied snapping at William.

"I will if you want" William replied as he thought of the doctor who movie , the end of The Doctor's Daughter episode as the discorded doctor whooves touches William his head only causing him to regain his colour and hug William and cry.

"I... Saved them and Jenny how do you... No why did you show me this now" the discorded doctor completely regained his colour as he asked crying from the amount of emotions overcoming him.

"There is the Doctor I know and I might not know what the future holds here in Equestria I mean , i'm a variable that isn't supposed to be here but I care and take inspiration of the ponies of this world but when it comes to putting things in it's place and help to get a fairly tale like ending well that's because of you , this might sound stupid but well I know you probably wanted closure to what you left behind unwillingly so I showed you what happens normally I'm not sure if you're an imprint or a copy or if this is a side effect of that major ripple effect when you saved your home but I'm happy if I have you a little closer and if I just helped well one of the best get back out there in any little way well I can be proud of that" William said directly from his heart as he hugs the Doctor

"I... Thank you my friend , my regards to days to past" he said smiling as he broke the hug

"And mine to days to come" William said smiling

"Also you better get going , I mean you came to see your hero not a mess that I am now" The doctor said

"Well I got some time to kill and well I wouldn't want you to be alone so , why not for once go through the normal way of time and well Derpy and the younger you just left the park so no chance in running into them , I don't know maybe grab a bite or a drink or something" William said nervously causing the doctor to laugh

"Well I might stick around a little bit I mean smell the roses of what I protect , enjoy the company of the ponies I save from behind the scenes" the doctor said laughing

"That's just sappy old man who told you that sappy junk"William said teasing him

"Just a homo sapien who was trying to get my lazy but back in action , this means you knew all this time you'd meet me here , you're really childish you know" the doctor said laughing

"What's the point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes" William replied with the biggest smirk he can muster before heading deeper into the park to sit near a tree

"Don't you use my own words against me it gets really annoying in the future you know" the doctor replied

"Sorry grumpy , now I wish I had some butter or maybe a pear" William said laughing "but in all seriousness Doc it's nice meeting you"

"Well you won't be so happy next time you see me but its pleasant" the doctor replied

"Right now I wish I had my phone or well something so I can reach you with I mean your the first stallion here I met and probably one of the few fitting earth terms of well masculinity ,and my cigarettes are still in my old clothes with my phone" William said sighing deeply

"Don't worry well I better get going back to my time and make up with derpy and probably see a very smug expression on someone their face also a small gift" the Doctor handed William what looked like a usb

"Oh smug me never well maybe sometimes also a USB stick seriously doctor Thats low tech for you" William put the USB stick away and layed against the tree

"Hey its not my fault your technology is so 21th century earth like also you asked for of and do you know how hard it is to get all collective data of a species till a certain amount of time and filter out all you are going to ask , I mean really and I had to make it work with old human technology" the doctor replied

"Wow I really owe you one" William said surprised
"Actually not really but you will find out but a question how did you always break into the tardis in the future" the doctor asked

"Spare key above the P ,now have fun Doctor I'm going to enjoy some shade and watching ponies play in the park ,you got a mare to apologise to and a very important mare at that" William replied laying down calmly

"Oh don't give me the Derpy is loved by millions speech before I met her she was just a kind and gentle mail mare" the doctor replied

"I recently let you look through some of my memories revolving you , do you really think I'd lie about a mare , I mean if I can be whisked away from my reality who says others can and well hmm let's just say I know many people who'd do worse things to you then a dalek could just for hurting that mare , probably because daleks don't imagine except well you know" William replied to the doctor calmly

"Wait what, you are serious?" The doctor asked

"Yep , that mare is like hmm , imagine a universe being observed not interacted with because interaction is impossible or normally interaction is impossible , and a giant group of people having a soft spot for one person in that universe. Well I'm pretty sure you can see what would happen if the beloved person was hurt correct" William replied

"Thousands of the observers being angry at possible every parallel version who comes close to the one who hurt said person, wow multiversal hate and harm on a physical or mental level, wait derpy is that beloved?" The doctor looked confused

"Oh yeah she is a loved to the point its insane but so are many ponies" William said smiling

"Well on which side do you stand on that?" The doctor asked

"Hmm I think I'd also wanna make you suffer if you hurt Derpy unless I have reason to believe it wasn't your own will like you being discorded like before , if I'd see you hurt her without that as an excuse well if you're killed during regeneration you know" William replied
Threateningly to make his point clear how defensive he is of the ponies

The Doctor looked in disbelief at William

"What I'm only human , you know we can get obsessive about things and can either be cruel or kind , I'd be cruel to those who are cruel or those who deserve it" he replied

"That is the wrong way and you know it and aren't you insane just saying how you could kill me" the doctor replied let down by William his morality

"Yes I know most ponies don't have a bad bone in their bodies except for a few but I'll be honest it only would be a last resort but to be fully honest I'm flawed I can get angry. And unlike the harmonious locals I would get my hands dirty if I have too and well Doctor , I said If I have to I'd rather not kill or harm but if I have to I will also I said a example so you know what a threat I can be so in case I go down a wrong path well let's just say it's always better to have more then one back up plan in case I would go down a wrong path and you are one of them" William replies

"I know. You are rather paranoid about the changes magic has to your body and protective and your instincts oh wait for those it explains the ... Oh and good luck today and especially tonight since You're going to be exhausted before your party " the doctor said before leaving into a alleyway and a strange sound follows

"Hello darling. I brought your soda also I saw you talking to some pony are you alright?" Rarity asked while handing William the soda.
"Yep seems like I made a new friend or met an old friend, knowing certain thing's is so confusing" William said taking the soda before drinking Sweet sugary goodness I still feel bad since they only have certain sources of sugar but sweet cola like soda in Equestria is a win for me William thought smiling as he drank

"Darling you're not making any sense" Rarity replied

"It's complicated Rarity , also what happened to the stuff that was in my clothes?" William asked looking at Rarity

"Oh that" Rarity said smiling while waving her hand dismissively as her ears perked to the side "Twilight took it darling she noticed a packet with rather grotesque imagery on it and a two strange devices one that made fire and another one a glass pane I hope it wasn't bad for her to take them for research"Rarity replied nervously

" Grotesque imagery?!" William replied confused but before he could understand what Rarity ment with it a purple flash made William jump in shock as a purple unicorn appeared out of nowhere

"William why did you have poisonous objects and a way to light fires without magic with you" Twilight said in a suspicious and worried tone while holding all William his items near him , William just took his stuff back and took a cigarette out of the package and lit it with his lighter

"Uhm self destructive but addictive behaviour because of a addictive substance in the cigarettes aka the round sticks out of the package with grotesque imagery that acts as a warning to possible side effects of long term use" He said before laying down again

"It smells horrible Darling why would you do something that is so harmful and has such a disgusting smell as side effect?" Rarity asked William who was calmly smoking a cigarette

"Addiction really but well I'm going to have to learn how to quit anyway since well magical pony land probably doesn't have these ,or I'll have to get a pipe and ask some country ponies if they have it" William replied holding on to a faint hope of not having to quit smoking

"If it's harmful you're going to have to stop , Rainbow and Scoots would be really sad if you fell sick" Twilight shouted angrily while trying to take the cigs back but William didn't let her near them so her horn started glowing

"Don't try it twilight I can get rather cranky and I'm not a small foal so treat me like an adult " William said while glaring daggers at Twi before taking another pull from his cigarette "Besides even after how painful magic was at the start it has caused for general health improvements like my muscle growth , now where to go?" William said smiling"Library and Sugar cube corner are off limits since Pinkie is probably planning something, hmm maybe a bar , do ponies have bars" William asked causing Twilight to blush

"Do you mean a stallion bar?" Twilight asked blushing a deep purple

"Uhm I don't even know what that is but if it has something to drink and maybe a sing if I'm drunk enough I'd like it though the term stallion bar probably means something else" William replied nervously

"Darling a stallion bar is where stallions go when their mares are away some mares work there comfort the stallions as well as other things but they have what you wanted it is something subsidises by the Equestrian government to help stallions" Rarity explained

William his jaw dropped "Wait free drinks and oh god , OK Twilight explain me why such things exist and don't say episode without explaining it" William replied just in utter confusion

"Well... Stallions are a bit soft when they have to much stress ,pain or are lonely they break down emotional all in different ways being either crying , foaming from the mouth , secluding themselves into their own little world or other negative ways" Twilight tried to explain as gently as possible getting while Rarity and her started worryingly at William waiting for his response only to be met with laughter

"OK sorry now seriously since I find it hard to believe that you protected your colts so much such a thing happened" William said laughing only to get confused stares from Twilight and Rarity "Wait you're serious , damn I don't even know how stallion guards can be a thing then dear god almighty" William replied in shock

"Darling I hope you aren't using humour to hide your emotions now from the situation your in" Rarity replied in a caring tone

"No just wow I thought it be a small difference, hmm I hope not all stallions are well such wall flowers ... Is that even an expression here" William replied in disbelief the differences not entirely sinking in yet

"Big Mac and a few other stallion's like my brother Shining Armour , and the guard ponies aren't such wall flowers but they still are stallion's" Twilight replied hoping it would make William feel less awkward about his situation

"Hmm ok good to know well I wish I could reach the off duty guard ponies now maybe the bat ponies to I don't know have a drink or something , I don't mind mares but I also need someone to hang with and talk to about mares, no offence" William replied while putting out his cigarette

"I could use spike to send a letter to the princesses if you want but only this once , you need to make friends and I want you to show me what the glass pane device does and maybe you should let the ponies get used to your strange form of transportation so you won't scare anypony with it" Twilight replied with a big smile eager for an answer

"Well the car I'm not sure not even sure if I can recreate its fuel might need to adjust it with some help but about my smart phone without any cellular network its a glorified small computer hmm, maybe I can explain it later and maybe give me some time alone no offence girls don't worry I'll stay here" William smiled

"Alright but you better keep that promise and don't get into trouble" Twilight left with Rarity to give William his space but as Rarity left she said "Don't get into trouble Darling and if you are lost don't follow strange mares" William face palmed at this

William looked around and noticed Octavia playing a lullaby for a princess causing William to sing along to it

Fate has been cruel and order unkind
How can I have sent you away?
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours
The harmony's silent today William sang full of emotion causing Octavia to be surprised as she played while other ponies in the park look perplexed as out of nowhere some ponies began to sing the tones along

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep William continued singing full with emotion as a faint glow surrounded him causing what seemed like mirages of the past while he sang as it seemed the mirage of princess Celestia sang along as music came out of nowhere playing along to the song William continued singing along to the song unbeknownst to him every depiction of Celestia throughout Equestria was affected and followed the mirages of the past with the song resonating near them as it came to it's end many ponies in the park had tears in their eyes but William didn't notice the mirages of before

Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle

Luna and Celestia both saw their stained windows mimic it causing Celestia to cry and hug Luna "Sorry you had to see that sister, it's a old song I..." Luna hugged Celestia before she could do anything and cried holding her sister all the guard ponies near them who saw the window panes changing showing those events and hears music come from them were in deep tears some Solar guards who still weren't used to Luna yet felt compassion and sadness for what the princesses went through.

Celestia held her little sister close while crying "I am still so happy you are back dear sister, I never expected my old lullaby for you to be shown like this I sung it to you after" Celestia got hugged tighter by Luna "It is alright sister I..am happy to see how much thou cared even if I didn't hear it then" Luna said very emotionally

Meanwhile in the Golden oak library

Twilight had just seen the same past events unfurl because of a book about Equestrian history that opened on a page of Celestia with a drawing that changed to follow the mirages having Twilight to tears and also causing her to try and identify the source of the magic fueling what she just experienced

"It came from ponyville park well the voice that sang with the princess her voice during was William's I got send this to the princesses and research upon this" Twilight added her findings to the invite to get some lunar guard ponies who were off duty to keep William company

Back at the park

William was being overrun with questions causing him to step back "no I am not 1000 years old it's just someone of my kind who knows of Equestria sang it how was I supposed to know it was a old song here" William replied stepping away from the horde of ponies surrounding him
isn't that song supposed to be fan made how this is confusing as can be William thought before seeing a carriage flying in the sky Well I am bucked William thought


Author's Note

Sorry for the small chapter as for those wondering

I'm pretty sure any pony would wanna harm anyone who harms derpy in anyway as for those who are confused in my head canon doctor whooves and the doctor of doctor who are the same so I used some knowledge of the other show to well pull a discorded broken stallion back from his lazy ass

As for the use of a song well magic in it's rawest form is affected by emotions no matter the race so yeah William did a big oopsie and I guess every Brony has strong emotions with that fan made Song made By the talented ponyphonic
