Anon-A-Miss: The Doctor Will See You Now.

Anon-A-Miss, a cyberbully raging across Canterlot High School had begun to spill the secrets of the school's students, friendships had been torn apart over the account's first few days of existence.

Relationships had been ended and students had transferred to other schools to start over.

But Anon-A-Miss wasn't after the students themselves, they had a specific target in mind to hurt.

Sunset Shimmer.

Former bully, She-Demon, student of CHS and part of The Rainbooms.

Now a pariah of the school all because of what Anon-A-Miss had done.

She had been called harsh names, attacked and injured by the students.

She had even pleaded with her former friends to believe her, but every attempt had failed. They didn't believe her.

Now she felt truly alone, no friends and no family to be with over the christmas period.

Sunset ran from the school as tears flowed down her cheeks, why wouldn't they believe her? Why wouldn't they listen to her?

Those questions plagued her mind as she found herself in Canterlot Park.

Sunset noticed the large water fountain in the middle of the park and sat down against it, the frigid ice causing the girl to shiver in the cold.

She had no apartment to stay in, and she couldn't stay with her friends. She couldn't go back to Equestria just yet. She couldn't face her mother and her teacher, Princess Celestia.

Feeling alone and unwanted, the heartbroken girl sobbed as she fell asleep, hoping to die and never wake up.

As she began to fall asleep, she heard what she thought was a vroom vroom sound behind her.

Waking up groggily, she stumbled over to a dark blue police box and sat against it. Falling into a long and deep sleep.

Unknown to her, she felt a pair of warm and gentle hands pick her up and carry her to somewhere she couldn't pinpoint.

"What were you doing out there, hm? Could have frozen yourself to death in the cold." The mysterious voice chided softly.

Sunset awoke tiredly, rubbing her eyes to clear her vision as she found herself in a place that couldn't scientifically exist.

The location she had found herself inside was huge. the spacious room had black walls with blue circular disc-shaped panels covering its walls and the entire area of the room.

"W-Where am I?" Sunset questioned, looking around in awe at the room around her.

She noticed a circular control panel full of levers, switches and buttons with cables hanging around it. A gold tube-shaped column that rose and fell every few seconds, a loud screech like a key being dragged over a piano string coming from the center of the control panel.

"What is this place? Where am I?" Sunset asked fearfully, staring at the man in front of her.

He wore a white shirt with a blue suit jacket followed by a brown overcoat and white sneakers, his hair combed down, but had a few whisps within, the mysterious man also had sideburns.

"This is a TARDIS, Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. It can take us anywhere in time and space." The man exclaimed, smirking playfully.

The time vehicle landed as Sunset walked out and noticed something which would normally be very hard to explain.

"Go on, say it." The eccentric man egged her on, who was he?

"It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside!" Sunset exclaimed, exiting the time machine as she ran around it.

She walked back into the TARDIS as she tried to make sense of it all.

"How is this possible? This scientifically doesn't and can't make sense! This isn't possible!" She asked.

Her saviour chuckled as he grinned.

"It's dimensionally transcendental." He answered, keeping his left hand on the lever that seemed to control the TARDIS.

"Who are you?" Sunset asked, folding her arms as she raised an eyebrow in confusion and shock.

"Hello. I'm The Doctor!" He said cheerfully, reminding her of her ex-friend Pinkie Pie.

"The Doctor?" Sunset asked chuckling, surprised at the name.

"I like helping people. You see, I'm not human, I'm a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation Kastaborous." The Doctor introduced with a wave of his hand as he straightened his tie.

"Gallifrey? Kastaborous?" Sunset asked, she'd never been taught about that planet and constellation before.

"Yes, Gallifrey is my home planet and Kastaborous is the constellation it lived in before it was destroyed." The Doctor admitted sadly, remembering The Last Great Time War.

"W-What h-happened to it?" Sunset asked carefully, not wanting to upset the Time Lord.

"It burned, there was a war, a long and terrible war caused by a horrible race of beings called Daleks who tried to end our species so they could take our advanced technology and enslave the entire universe." The Doctor answered sharply, not wanting to talk about the war.

"Sooo, how does this 'TARDIS' work then?" Sunset asked curiously, she had always loved fixing and building things both back in Equestria and at CHS.

The Doctor grinned at her curiousness of the TARDIS and began to explain the inner workings of the time machine to her.

"This here is the TARDIS's time rotor column, this thing moves up and down whenever she's in flight. The center column is connected to an engine below the tardis in its center core. The cables here connect to the rotor which also connect to the engine below."

"And this here?" Sunset asked, pointing to the buttons and lever on the center console.

"That is the quantum handbrake lever that allows me to fly this thing throughout time and space." He grinned happily, glad to have a new companion once again.

"What is that?" Sunset asked, pointing to the Chameleon Arch above her

"Get away from that!" He yelled, moving her away from the prong-shaped genetic modifier.

"Why?"

"Because that is the Chameleon Arch, it's used by my people, the Time Lords to disguise themselves to evade other species. It takes away a Time Lord's second heart and the ability to regenerate twelve times."

"What do you mean by regenerate?"

"Change my dear, renew, live after death." He answered, lifting his palm as the bacon-haired teen watched the vibrant glowing gold-coloured energy swirling within him.

"What is that stuff?"

"Regeneration Energy, the stuff that allows us to live after death and heal ourselves in case of an emergency." The Doctor answered joyfully.

"Why does this center control panel have six corners?" Sunset asked with interest, staring at it curiously.

"A TARDIS is meant to be flown by six pilots to control it during flight or to repair it." The Time Lord answered quickly.

"Have there ever been six pilots once? For your TARDIS at least?" Sunset asked.

"No. But I have had many companions in my long life and this TARDIS has been flown by them and me together when it was either four or five of us." He answered stiffly, recalling past companions like his granddaughter Susan and others like Romana and Jamie. Even Rose, Martha and Sarah-Jane Smith.

"How old are you?" Sunset asked confused, raising a brow.

"I'm Nine hundred and three years old." He answered, remembering how long he'd lived for. "What about you my dear, how old are you?"

"Sixteen." Sunset replied, realising this man was much older than her by many years.

"Would you like to know a secret about the TARDIS?" The man asked, grinning excitedly.

"Sure, go ahead." Sunset answered, ushering him to tell her.

"You see, the reason my TARDIS looks like an old forties police box is because it's a disguise, a TARDIS looks so very different, it can alter its physical form to blend in to its environment around it using its Chameleon Circuit which is broken. I have repaired it once, and this TARDIS did look different for a while, but she reverted to this disguise because she likes it." He answered, recalling when he was in his fourth incarnation as he fixed the Chameleon CIrcuit.

"So, anywhere you want to go? Past, back to the present, future, another planet even?" He offered, extending his hand as she grabbed it.

"Wait, other planets too?" She exclaimed, eyes widened in complete shock.

"Mhm, every planet in the universe such as Earth, Sontar, Judoonia, The Ood Sphere, anywhere in time and space. At our beck and call." The Time Lord stated, giving her a soft smirk.

"So where to?" He asked, as Sunset went into thought about where to go.

The Ood Sphere, I've always wanted to see and visit other species when I was a little filly." Sunset said softly, recalling the days when she would read about other worlds with her mother and teacher, Princess Celestia.

"Filly?" The Doctor asked, confused about his new companion.

"I come from a parallel earth where ponies are the sentient race, along with a few others. There are no humans back in my original homeworld." Sunset stated, looking down in shame at her actions, recalling when she betrayed her mother, fled the castle, went through the mirror and found herself in the human version of her homeworld. She remembered bullying the students. She still felt awful about what she'd done. Ever since the Battle Of The Bands everyone had started to respect and like her.

Then Anon-A-Miss came along and ruined everything.

"What's wrong?" He asked softly, lifting her chin up as he gazed into her eyes to comfort her.

"You might want to brace yourself, it's a long story." Sunset warned him, sighing as she began to explain her entire life to the kind man who had saved her life.

"So you were a bully who is reformed and a former unicorn?" He asked, scratching his head.

"Yeah, but thanks to Anon-A-Miss, my friends have abandoned me, I'm alone. Why did you even save me?" Sunset sobbed.

"Hey, It's alright Sunset. I forgive you." He said softly, hugging her as she sobbed into his shoulder.

She eventually broke away and smiled at the comfort from the man before her.

"But what about your mother? Wouldn't she forgive you and want you back?" He asked, hoping he could help her.

"No, because she exiled me. I'm banned from my homeworld. I bet she hates me." Sunset mumbled forlornly, her eyes wet.

"Now, now, don't say that. I'm sure she'd forgive you. You're her daughter, I'm sure she misses you and wants you back." He countered, trying to comfort her.

"I've done worse. I've been exiled by my own people for interacting with humans anyway. I guess we're similar. He comforted, chuckling softly as she smiled.

"Now that's much better, you're smiling." He said, grinning himself.

"How do you do it, Doctor? How can you make someone smile and feel better just like that?" She asked, giggling herself.

"Now, off to The Ood Sphere!" He announced as he pulled the lever, the time column rotating up and down as the TARDIS's internal room hummed in a way that sounded like it was breathing and alive.

"Allons'y!" He exclaimed, grinning as Sunset herself grinned with him.

The two waited as the time machine flew them to their destination.
