Doctor Whooves S1

Out the window of the tower, she looked word the void white of the sky and gave a sigh. In front of her, an almost empty book stood with only three words.

"The Rain was-" and nothing more. All she had so far was a tower yet she had no world for it to inhabit. Did she leave Equestria for this? She wondered how Luna and Celestia were doing, she wondered how much they have grown. She even wondered if she should have gone back?

She looked out the window, stretched her wings, then used her horn to close the book. She thought of asking Bonnie to check-in things around Equestria when she heard the sound. Her ears perked up and Lauren sled over to the window. It was him. The Doctor was landing and if it was anything like the last time he had seen her something's going to go very wrong.

As she walked down the tower, the book reopened due to another more shadowy hoof. It picked up a quill and began to write.

INTRO

Derpy had left the TARDIS moments ago and staired into the white void. The Doctor on the other hoof was quite visibly stressed at her presence atop this floating island.

"W-where are we?" Derpy asked. The Doctor wanted to scold her but his own desire to explain and help others learn took him over instead.

"We're at the far corner of this universe. And when I say 'far corner' I mean far. We are utterly at the boundaries of this reality and the next. And it's also home to- Dough, why am I explaining this to you?! You aren't apposed to be here!"

"But Doctor, I didn't mean to come with you, I just wanted to double-check if it really was bigger..."

"Listen... what's your name again?"

"Derpy."

"Listen Ditzy, I want you to step back inside the TARDIS so I can drop you off back at Equestria before the coo-coo owner of this land-"

"Does what?" Spoke a sudden booming voice. The Doctor scrunched up as Derpy's eyes dilated. As if out of thin air, they both noticed the cobblestone house with its gigantic tower. Standing at its doorway, a white Alicorn with Carmine red hair and an inkwell cutie mark. Her majestic stance disobeying the cold tone of her home.

"Mr. Doctor... is- is that an Alicorn?"

"Yes. It is."

"I have a name Doctor." The Alicorn called. She looked over to Derpy and stared at her for a second. "My name is Lauren, but you can call me Mrs. Faust." Derpy squinted her eyes.

"Lauren Faust... where have I heard that name before...?"

"Does it matter?" Lauren spoke with power in her voice. "Why do you come here, Doctor? Has something happened to my girls?"

"No, Celestia and Luna are relatively fine at this point in time." The Doctor replied giving Derpy a shock. Lauren was bout to say something else when realization hit her face.

"...I see you've changed your face again but... Where's that friend of yours? Cream Heart was it?" Lauren asked. The Doctor stared at her silently as Derpy tilted her head. She knew that name.

Derpy looked over to the tall alicorn and spoke."Cream Heart? I think I delivered mail to her a couple of times... Her and her kids live alone. Um, how do you know them-"

"Wait what!? So here and Lucky finally tied the knot!?" Her face looked shocked, yet relieved.

The Doctor groaned. "Yes, they did kinda- Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to leave now. I have to put... this back." He points a hoove towards Derpy, causing her brow to scowl. "In case I didn't apologize earlier, I'm sorry for barging in on you. Have a great day." Lauren sighed. She could tell The Doctor was rushing things along to help himself leave faster. As she went back inside, The Doctor walked back to his TARDIS.

"You're kinda rude. I hope you know that." Derpy said following him reluctantly.

"It helps." The Doctor replied.

As he touched the TARDIS doors, the sound of glass shattering above him made him freeze. Him and Derpy looked up to the white void sky and saw a horrific sight; Lauren was falling and something was holding her wings down. She was falling around 529 miles per hour, she was still relatively high up... 15 seconds. The Doctor had 15 seconds to react.

15, 14, 13,

"Ditzy, Quickly fly up and pull that thing off Lauren!" Derpy just stood blankly for one second, 12, 11, before registering the command and, without hesitation, shook her head awake and flew towards the falling alicorn.

10, 9,

The Doctor rushed back inside his TARDIS and began pulling a few leavers. As he did so, the TARDIS began to dematerialize...

7,6,5,

Derpy flew as fast as she could towards the falling duo. She couldn't make out the figure holding Lauren due to it wearing a cloak, but she could make out its head. She quickly turned around and used her hind legs to kick it in the chin, causing it to instantly let go. However, Lauren still did not fly; She was out cold. Derpy grabbed her and began to flap her own wings, but it was son use.

4,3,2,1- *SPLASH*

A pool, she and Lauren fell into a pool... and The Doctor was sitting by the pool's edge with a first aid kit.

"Sorry," He said "didn't want to let the thing in here when I caught her so I didn't have time to explain. I'm impressed though by your qu-"

"Doctor, She's out cold!" This shut The Doctor up quickly, putting him immediately into healing mode.

In the TARDIS, Deroy waited outside Laurens's medical room. She began to worry they were too late, and it was pointless to delay the inevitable. What if Lauren's dead? What if the impact from the pool or something the hooded figure did kill her. Those thoughts at Derpy's conscience like a starved spider eating a fly. As The Doctor exited the room, Derpy needed to know if Lauren was okay. Luckily, he initiated the answer before she even had the chance to ask the question.

"She's an alicorn and thusly immortal. We were only trying to save her horn as if she had fallen it would have broken off and been irreplaceable. No, we shouldn't worry about her... we should worry about the other one."

Derpy looked confused before the realization came.

"The cloaked figure?"

"Yes, he stole something from Lauren. A book."

"A... book? Why?"

"You see how this world's just a void? Well, that book is enchanted. Whatever words are written in it will become a true history for a world you created." He noticed Derpy tilting her head and sighed. "Imagin, you had a blank piece of paper. Now, let's say whatever you drew on said paper would be given life. However, you can only draw on your paper... but you can use anyponies pencil.." Derpy was starting to get it, but The Doctor failed to notice. " The book is the pencil and the void is the paper. If you had the book, so long as you created a void in space that needs to be made by you, you can create the first one hundred years of a world. One page for one year."

"I... get it?" Derpy responded.

"Ugh, look, we need to find the hooded figure before they can escape. If they leave with that book, they could star a world of pure evil, and nopony could stop them! You've proven to be helpful so... would you like to help me find them?"

Derpy's eyes dilated at the thought. No, she did not want to help The Doctor she thought he was crazy... but she did want to be able to say she help an alicorn and stoped an evil villain, so those pros out wayed the cons.

"I-I would love to!" She said, with a scratch to her voice.

The clocked figure waited atop the tower, looking down through the broken window. On his left was a big book and to his right was an odd-looking door that seemed to go nowhere, as it was attache to nothing. A smile grew from his face as he noticed The Doctor and Derpy exiting the TARDIS.

"Ah, like a fly to honey. As they come closer, the spider shall prepare a web. However, as much as I hate to say this, the fly must escape... however, it would not leave without a reminder of where it lays on the food chain." He grabbed a pebble and threw it down. It booed Derpy on the head, causing The Doctor to look up. They both began to sprint inside. The figure laughed before reaching into a pocket and pulling out two things; Matches and a letter.

The Doctor and Derpy ran up the stairs to the top of the tower. Derpy was beginning to lose breath, but The Doctor had plenty to spare. At the top, he used his breath to call out fo the hooded figure, Only to find them standing right in front of the space where the window used to be, facing towards the ponies. It was just him. No book, no door, nothing.

"Ah, a delicious fly finds it's way here."

"What does that mean?" The Doctor asked. "You some kind of spider thing?"

"Close... very close but no cigar." He replied back. Derpy mad it up at this point, out of breath but still listening. "Doctor, it's so nice to see you again... How long has it been? Nine, three hundred years? Is this the right order? Yes, yes it is! Ditzy doesn't have that foolish pink bowtie yet, so it must be early days for both of you..."

"Early.... huh.... days?" Derpy asked, once again letting the wrong pronunciation of her name go to the side.

"What...?" The Doctor began, only to be interrupted.

"For me Doctor, I've just run into you about twenty minutes ago. You both chased me and my friends down and I escaped. I came here to get something and saw an... opportunity to say Hi." He began to back off towards the edge of the window.

"Who are you?" The Doctor asked.

"Ah, you, Ditzy, and that tall lady will figure it out; After all, you must look back for the answers." And with that, he jumped.

The Doctor and Derpy ran over to look for him, but he was gone. However, what remains was just as horrifying as a mutilated corpse. Fire. The bottom of the home was on fire and it was spreading up. The Doctor turned around to look back down the stairs and see how far the fire spread but paused. Written on the walls was one word;

'Parasites'

"Doctor, the fire, it's spreading up the stairs! Doctor?!" Derpy screamed as The Doctor went still. "Doctor snap out of it! I'm gonna grab you and fly out the window and into the... ship thing- whatever you called it,I'm gonna fly us inside okay?!" Still unresponsive and jaw now hanging, Depry took matters into her own hooves and quickly latched onto him and pushed him out the window.

She overestimated her ability to fly with another pony in hoof. They limited down, falling towards the ground. This was it. Soon, they would be nothing more then splats on the ground. As they fell, however, Depry felt... a spark. She felt alive. For the first time since she and her sister were children, Derpy Doo felt alive. That flame that was snuffed out back home had returned, and she had an odd sense of euphoria despite knowing she was about to - *SPLASH*

"GAH" Derpy went, gasping for air and holstering The Doctor above water the sudden splash snapping him out of his trance.

"What the dickens!"

"Huh, I still know how to pilot this thing." Came a familiar voice. Lauren, with a bandage around her head mind you, lied down next to the pool's outer rim. "Nice to see my little... well, are either of you ponies?"

"What kind of question is that? Yes we a-"

"Yes, Ditzy is a pony." The Doctor interrupted. Derpy looked confused but let it slide. After all, she was happy to be alive.

After apologizing to Lauren and explaining the book was most likely destroyed, she was dropped off at Canterlot Castle. As The Doctor and Derpy watched her hug Celestia and Luna as if her life depended on it, Derpy took a moment to think. That spark. She hasn't felt that spark of life in so long, and it only came out when she was doing something... dangerous with The Doctor. She took a breath, said that famous, 'I'll regret this later, line and turned towards her companion.

"Doctor?"

"Yes Ditzy?"

"Ugh, first off, my names Derpy."

"Yes, that's what I said."

"Wha... Look, I'm... I... Do you do things like this often?"

"Almost every day. Why? You want to come?"

Derpy's heart skipped a beat at the offer. "Well... yes. I would like to come with you..." She took another breath before continuing. "I want to know if there could be times that I could come with you without losing my job. I-"

"It's a time machine. Didn't I say that?"

"I- What?"

"Yeah, the TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. It travels in time and space. If your choice is to come with me... we could go anywhere and anywhen whilst never being late." The Doctor offered a hoof. "Would you like to leave now?"

Derpy still felt uneasy, but it was what she wanted right? She wanted this. Taking The Doctor's hoof, she simply smiled.

The fly believes itself to be safe, as it has dealt with many spiders in its life. However, it was unprepared for one thing; another fly, this one a cannibal. The fly had its share of friends, but they were no match for the cannibal. Such a shame too, since both flys knew who the other was, making one burst to tears and the other laughter. Soon, the cannibal would drain the fly, with the help of one thing: Pest control.
