Spike and the Crusaders were rushing around the boutique, watched but not stopped by Rainbow and Applejack.

"So," Rainbow said, ignoring the chaos of the CMC creating a mess and Spike trying to clean it up in vain, "Flutters and Discord managed to save an entire kingdom. Nice to know you basically served as the driver."

"Very funny, Dash," Applejack said as frigidly as possible... Though when it came to Rainbow that wasn't very cold at all. "Hey, Ah am sorry about all that 'plays about an evil you' nonsense. You sure those plays are, uh, 'real' in some other u-ni-verse?"

"Pretty sure. That's what the Doc, Twi and Pinkie are saying, anyways. Still, that place was trying to get a rise out of us, so there's probably a bu-" Rainbow noted the foals and the drake in the room- "a bunch of other universes that are really good, right?"

"Yeah, Ah can see that. Does that mean that nightmare Ah sometimes have where I can't sleep for nothin' and am mad at Filthy Rich for some reason is real in another place?"

"Uh, I guess? But if we're going with that, then... Anything is real in other universes, even dreams and books and stuff."

Scootaloo overheard that. "Hey, does that mean there's a universe where Daring Do is real?"

Rainbow and AJ looked at each other. "Sure thing, sugarcube."

"All right!" Scootaloo then quickly rejoined her friends.

Applejack chuckled to herself. "Welp, nice to admit it in a way."

Rainbow exhaled. "Yeah."

Applejack tensed up a bit slightly. "Ya know, sometimes Ah feel like Ah'm in a play."

Rainbow looked at Applejack. "That's a... Fourth wall thing or whatever?"

"Eeyep," Applejack confirmed. "Glad Ah didn't end up in that place, probably would have done a number on mah noggin. Ah never liked that fourth wall mumbo jumbo. Always gave me the creeps."

"I'll bet."

It was then Spike and Sweetie Belle came up to them.

"Hey guys," Spike started. "Have you seen Rarity?"

"We're a little worried," Sweetie agreed. "She'd normally be complaining about the mess or the noise or whatever by now."

"Now that's a dang good question," AJ said. "Any clues Dash?"

Rainbow hesitated for a second. "She's... Not feeling well. We went on adventure yesterday and uh... Yeah, she's in a bad mood so she wants to be alone, or something."

Spike mumbled something. "Is that why she was talking about some watch earlier?"

Rainbow's eyes widened. "A watch?"

"Oh yeah," Sweetie chimed in, "she was telling me earlier she was going to find the Belle family pocket watch! Not sure why she'd want it though."

"Why? Is it, uh, broken?"

"Yep. Maybe she wants to fix it?"

Rainbow then asked a question that she wanted to hear "no" to. "Does it have, like, a bunch of little circles on it?"

"Yeah, how did you-"

"Lucky guess!"

"Dash," AJ said, "is somethin' wrong?"

"Nope! Everything's fine! Totally! I just gotta check in on Rares real quick, that's all!" With that she rushed to the door that led towards Rarity's room, brushing past the two fillies pretending to be pirates using fabric rolls as swords, much to their confusion. Dash opened the door, which led to...

A blank wall.

"What the buck?"

The Doctor always enjoyed going to the tea parties Fluttershy threw at her cottage, despite Discord being present. He didn't mind Twilight, Pinkie, or Starlight being there, either. Trixie could be a nuisance, but less so than Discord. Overall, it was always a pleasant experience.

He was still getting used to being served tea by a shop dummy, though.

"I have to admit," Starlight said as a tuxedoed Auton filled her cup with some herbal tea, "I'm a bit weirded out by the fact that I'm being served tea by something that actually tried to kill me."

Fluttershy just smiled. "Oh, don't worry about Mr. Nestine! He's really turned over a new leaf! Isn't that right, Nesty?"

"Yessssssssss Misssssss Fluttersshhhy..." was the reply from the plastic model's flank.

Starlight hid her shudder the best she could. "Right. Good to know."

Fluttershy looked toward Pinkie, who was stirring her tea as she had been since the party began. "Are you OK, Pinkie? Your tea is getting cold." She let out a small gasp. "You aren't having nightmares about that nasty theatre, are you?"

Pinkie sighed. "It's not that. It's just that Dashie told me that the Dæmon told her that one of their gods went into a dream to tell THEM that I'm 'not alone,' whatever that means."

Discord raised an eyebrow, then put it on his face so he could raise said eyebrow. "Well, I for one would be very interested in knowing who said that. If I had to guess, it would be Delusion or Decadence. They both just LOVE vague statements that lead to startling realizations. Like mother like spawn, I say."

"Speaking of," the Doctor said, "they did list a series of 'spawn' of your lot that they worshipped. Would yours happen to be 'Ensnarement'?"

Discord scoffed. "Like many parents after me, it was an accident. I don't even like the little menace."

"And what of 'Screwball' and 'Cosmos'?"

"I don't know why people think Screwball is mine but-" He froze, in a figurative sense. "I'm sorry, did you say Cosmos?"

"Yes. What of it?"

Discord just floated for a moment. "Hmph. Nothing. I just have a lot of angry words for a certain omnicidal sister of mine, is all."

Starlight looked to Pinkie. "What did that mean, that you're 'not alone?'"

Pinkie shrugged. "I guess that means I'm not the only Time Lord? I already know the Master is here, so that's probably it. I mean, what are the odds of there being 4 Gallifreyans in Equestria?"

"Trixie would say very good," Trixie replied. "Her mother is a Time Lord."

The rest of the table stopped to look at Trixie, aside from Starlight who simply facehoofed.

"She's not lying," Starlight said while massaging her muzzle. "Her mother's name is the Spectacle."

Pinkie blanked for a moment. "YOU'RE THE MASTER'S GRANDDAUGHTER?!?"

Trixie gave a hearty "ha!" "Indeed Trixie is! Not that she's proud of that," she added sheepishly before returning to her normal tone, "but she's still part-Gallifreyan!"

Twilight groaned. "So I'll be dealing with her for a long while?"

"I'm half-human on my mother's side," the Doctor explained, "so likely yes if unicorn biology is compatible with a pony Time Lord."

"Ugh," was Twilight's only reply.

Pinkie shrugged. "OK, so it means that! Cool! I mean, I don't think your mom fought in the Time War because they couldn't find her body, but still cool!"

"Wait," Starlight said. "You think there might be another Time Lord that also fought in the Time War?"

Poof

Pinkie giggled. "That'd be silly. You're silly! Yep, silly. I mean, what are the odds of there being 5 Gallifreyans in Equestria?"

Poof

Starlight inhaled sharply. "So, I have a secret, too. I met with the Master a month ago."

After a short beat, the whole table gave a resounding "WHAT?!?" Except for Trixie, who already knew this, and Discord, who was laughing his tail off, which he quickly reattached.

"OH, TODAY JUST GETS MORE AND MORE CHAOTIC, AND IT'S NOT EVEN MY BIRTHDAY!" He continued laughing.

"Discord," Fluttershy scolded.

Discord's laughter had downgraded to a chuckle. "What? I didn't even do anything to cause this! Let me enjoy a bit of pandemonium!"

Twilight rolled her eyes before turning to Starlight. "Starlight, why didn't you tell us?"

"He said he'd kill somepony if I didn't," Starlight said defensively. "But yes, he told me something that... Well, unnerved me."

"Before I depart, however, I will give you..." The Master hesitated. "Well, some potentially interesting information."

"Interesting?" Starlight was both suspicious and intrigued.

The Master produced a small piece of paper, displaying a seemingly random assortment of symbols.

Starlight stared at it in confusion. "So, what's this supposed to be?"

The Master chuckled again, this one without as much humor in it and more so a small bit of pride. "This is the written language of Gallifrey. I suppose you can call it Gallifreyan? In any case, it's the language of my people. Specifically, this one reads 'The Master.'" He took off his jacket, revealing his black undershirt, and pointed to a similar symbol on the inside of the neck of the jacket, near the back. "Now then, take a look at this."

"I think you'll be most intrigued by what this one says. It reads, 'Carousel Boutique.'"

Starlight was incredulous. "What?"

"I am just as surprised as you are, truthfully," the Master said, pacing around the console room, "but I am certain that is what it says. That is the place where I got the suit from."

Starlight squinted. "I hope you don't mind me saying I don't believe you."

"Not only do I not mind, I scarcely believe it myself. I wasn't able to detect her as a Time Lord when I first saw her when I was able to do so with the Doctor right away. My best suspicion? She managed to make herself a plain unicorn using some technology I would rather not go into. But while she has no active memory of her past life, she may have a subconscious memory. She has a subconscious understanding of the language, which caused her to make an accidental translation of her own branding into Gallifreyan. Of course, it's a ridiculous assertion, truthfully. After all, who would suppress their Time Lord self in order to become a mere unicorn mare when they could conquer the planet outright? Well, I suppose not a 'mere' unicorn if you are any indication."

"Where are you going with this?"

The Master hesitated for a moment. "All I shall leave with you before we part is this... Keep an eye on her. She has quite the eye for detail."

Poof

Silence fell across the room.

Then Pinkie laughed again.

"Don't be silly. He was just trying to play a trick on you! Rarity's fine! Totally. Yeah..."

Twilight gasped. "Pinkie! The Chameleon Arch!"

Poof

"The what?" Starlight looked confused.

"From that play! The first one Pinkie stepped into! That other version of her had a device that could turn a Time Lord into an average pony! What if-"

"Nope!" Pinkie shook her head rapidly. "We're not entertaining this any further! Rarity is Rarity, and that's it!"

"OK, one more question really quick. Queen Chrysalis mentioned something about the name of what she believes to be the Time Lord that attacked her people centuries ago."

Poof

Twilight was just flabbergasted about this, stuttering rapidly before delivering a response. "QUENN CHRYSALIS MET A TIME LORD?!? Why didn't you say anything earlier?!? This is all extremely important to know, and I would rather not have to deal with it WHILE I'M TRYING TO RELAX!!!"

A plastic butler held up a teapot. "How about ssssssome niccccccce tea to calm yourssssself, missssss Sparkle..." said its flank

"THAT WOULD BE LOVELY, THANK YOU!" As soon as the dummy was finished pouring, Twilight a rapid sip of tea before letting out a sigh of relief. "OK, that's better. Please, continue."

Starlight just stared for a second before continuing. "Right. Look, does anypony, or Discord or 'Nesty' or whoever-" There had to be a more inclusive way to say that- "Know about what language is spoken in southern Saddle Arabia? Or someplace called the the 'Tasty Treat?'"

"OH! OH! I DO!" Pinkie flailed her hooves excitedly. "Rare-Rare and I went to the Tasty Treat a while back! It reminded me of Indian culture from Earth, actually. A lot of the cultures here remind me of Earth, come to think of it, but I guess that's just nostalgia talking. They speak a LOT of languages in southern Saddle Arabia, but the most spoken one is called Hindi, I think!"

"OK, great! Do you know a word in 'Hindi' that means 'princess' or 'queen?'"

"Oh! Easy! For 'princess' it would likely be राजकुमारी, which is a bit of a mouthful, but for 'queen' it would just be रानी, which-"

Poof.

Suddenly Pinkie froze akin to a deer in headlights. Her face turned more and more fearful. The Doctor's eyes widened. Discord's jaw dropped. Even Trixie showed some concern.

"No."

Poof

That was all Pinkie said as she darted out the door, causing the rest of the group to follow suit.

Poof, poof, poof...

"No no no no no no no nonononononononononononononononononono..."

Rarity found herself in a dark room at the boutique she had never been in before. It was pitch black, as if she was walking into the void itself. There was nothing inside except a pedestal with an old, antique pocket watch bear strange symbols that suspended itself into mid-air, a lone light from no visible source shining upon it.

"That's... That's me inside of that watch, isn't it?" She whispered this to no one, and yet she was heard.

"It is in a way, eh?"

A startled Rarity turned to see... Her parents. Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumbles.

"Mother! Father! I- I wasn't expecting you to be home today!"

Her parents chuckled. "We're always home, don'tcha know," said Hondo.

"We never leave," said Cookie.

Rarity took a step back. "Wh- What do you mean you never leave? You're almost never here! Even as a filly I ended up taking care of Sweetie Belle half the time!"

The pair chuckled again, this time with a blue light shining across them both, almost as if they weren't really there.

"There's a reason you and Sweetie haven't seen us far from the house even if we take a vacation," said Cookie.

"We always had a eye on you kids," agreed Hondo.

Rarity's eyes widened. "Wait... You can't mean you're... Part of the house? The Boutique?"

"You got it right on the money, sweetheart," Hondo confirmed.

"Then... This whole time the Boutique is... IS..." And with that, she fainted.

Both holograms flickered. "She'll be up in a moment," said Cookie.

"A TARDIS? Have y'all lost yer dang mind?"

Rainbow kept trying to break herself, AJ, the CMC and Spike out of the room they were now trapped in to no avail. "I mean, think about it! There's enough room in this place to fit at least three bedrooms, a kitchen, a workshop for Rares, a living room, and a bunch of other rooms even though the whole place looks like it could barely fit one! It's-"

"Bigger on the inside." AJ nodded. "Eeyup. Ah get it now. But if that's what's happenin, why are ya beating up the thing when ya know it can withstand goin' in the SUN?"

Rainbow bucked the wall where the door should have been one last time. "Fair enough."

All of a sudden, Hondo and Cookie appeared. "Thanks for stoppin' her," said Hondo. "That was gettin' pretty annoyin', don'tcha know?"

A collective yelp came from all present.

"Mom?!?" Sweetie Belle seemed the most surprised, at least if the whole group wasn't already at the maximum capacity for surprise. "Dad?!? I thought you guys were in Vanhoover for the weekend!"

Applebloom just stared at Sweetie Belle. "THAT'S y'all's concern?"

"Yeah," Scootaloo piped in. "They literally just appeared in the room out of NOWHERE!"

"Sorry about the surprise," Cookie said. "We're just here to tell you you're safe!"

"SAFE?!?" Rainbow stepped towards the couple. "What about Rarity? She's about to touch that Chameleon Arc or whatever it's called!"

"Chameleon Arch," corrected Hondo.

"Whateve-" Rainbow stopped. "YOU GUYS KNOW? Are you Time Lords too or something?"

The parents flickered blue, causing all of the beings made of flesh and blood to step back in terror.

"SWEETIE BELLE HAS GHOST PARENTS!" Spike fainted soon after saying that.

Applebloom mumbled something. "Ah wish mah parents did that..."

"Oh, we're not ghosts," Hondo said, "we're the house."

Silence for a moment, which Scootaloo swiftly interrupted. "You said that like it made any sense."

"Alright, just so y'all know... Well... How do Ah put this?" Applejack scratched her head. "So uh, this here place is really, um... A spaceship? One that can think like a person. And uh, Sweetie's parents this weird thing called a... 'Holly-gram?'" She smiled awkwardly for a small moment of silence.

The Crusaders looked in awe, with Scootaloo shouting "THAT'S AWESOME!"

"So... You were never my parents, then?" Rarity looked to the two holograms.

"Not by blood, but we raised ya like a parent should," said Cookie.

"You were hardly there!"

"That was so you and Sweetie Belle, the cutie-patooty that she is, would grow closer together," said Hondo.

"Is... Is she even my sister?"

"Well, if you consider a clone of you a sister, then yes!" Cookie smiled as if that were the most normal thing in the world.

Rarity's eye twitched. "So, wait, does that mean-"

"OK," Sweetie Belle said, "I can't be the only one with their hearts trying to burst out of their chest?"

"Yeah," Applebloom agreed, "it is a bit nerve wrack- Wait, Sweetie Belle, did y'all say hearts?"

"...Yeaaaaah?"

"Plural?"

"Yeah! Doesn't everypony have two hearts?"

Rainbow and AJ looked at each before Rainbow rushed over to Sweetie.

"HEY," Sweetie Belle shouted, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Rainbow felt the fillies chest, which felt awkward as all Tartarus, but it did confirm something.

"Yeah," Rainbow said, "She has two hearts."

Applejack gave a facehoof. "Great, just great. Glad Ah got that confirmed."

"Wait," Spike said, having come to earlier, "Twi said that Pinkie has two hearts... And Pinkie is a Time Lord from that 'space' stuff... SWEETIE BELLE IS AN ALIEN?!?"

Sweetie's eyes widened. "WHAT?"

"Well, she was born on Gaea but she was cloned from an alien, so yes, kind of!" Hondo apparently saw nothing wrong or strange about this statement.

Sweetie's eye twitched.

"Now wait a dadgum minute," Applebloom began, "Rarity is a Time Lord thingy?"

"She was," Cookie confirmed, "and she will be again in a few moments."

"Oh no you don't," Rainbow said. "I'm not letting Rarity become... Something else!"

"Well, sorry, ya hoser, but it's gonna happen." Cookie smiled still. "I promise ya, it will be fine. Ya just have to trust in the process and everything will be turning up roses, eh?"

Rainbow stood there, breathing heavily. "Fine, but if either of you had actual bodies I would pummel them."

"Fair enough," the two said in unison, much to Rainbow's bewilderment.

"...What happens when I open the watch?"

Rarity stared at the supposed "heirloom" on the podium, the lone light reflecting off the watch's golden case, taunting Rarity with its promise.

"Don't worry," Hondo said, "you'll be safe."

"Are- Are you certain?"

Both nodded, but Cookie spoke. "Normally, it would be as if you were a cup of water being dropped into the ocean, but you modified yours so that you can stay around, like you're a pony in a submarine!"

"That's... Slightly, reassuring" said Rarity, who didn't want to mention she had no idea what a submarine was. "But why would I modify it?"

"Well," Hondo began, "you never meant to use the modified one on yourself. We made sure you would be OK with a nice little switcheroo!"

Rarity nodded. "So if I open this, I'll still be... Me?"

"You'll have to share a body with the old you," Cookie added, "but yes."

With those calming words, Rarity stepped towards the Arch and picked it up. She took a deep breath, and then...

Poof, poof, poof...

"...nonononononononononononononononononononononono..."

Only Discord was able to keep up, but thankfully he dragged the rest of the group with him in the same direction out of pure curiosity as to what would happen next.

Poofpoofpoofpoofpoofpoofpoofpoofpoof...

"...nonononononononononononononononono NO!!!!!"

Pinkie managed to get to the Boutique, and started banging on the front door. "RARE-RARE? APPLEJACK? DASHIE? SWEETIE BELLE? SCOOTALOO? APPLEBLOOM? SPIKE? ANYONE?!? OPEN THE DOOR! PLEASE!"

"OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!" Rainbow was practically frothing at the mouth. "DON'T JUST TRAP US IN YOUR SHIP! OR IN YOU! OR- WHATEVER! WHY ARE WE TRAPPED HERE?"

"Because your friend needs your help," was Hondo's simple reply.

"OK, but can't we, I don't know, do it outside? With more friends?!?"

"No, I'm afraid we won't be staying for much longer," said Cookie. "Besides, the rest of your little friends are going to have enough on their plate soon."

Applejack stepped in at that. "Now hold on a cotton-pickin' minute! What's all that suh-posed ta mean?"

All of a sudden, the room began to shake, announced with the familiar sound of an object scraping against the universe itself.

"Dang-nabbit! Where the hay are y'all taking us?"

"Don't look at us," Hondo rebutted. "We only get to choose the destination, not when to go." With that, both illusions disappeared.

As the rest of the group managed to catch up to Pinkie, the boutique itself started fading away, much to the surprise of those on the outside of it, Including bystanders. Even those in the know weren't expecting the entire building to be a TARDIS.

"No." Pinkie looked in horror as a sound that should have been music to her ears was now scraping against her soul. "No no no no NO!"

POOF

But all the "no"s in the world wouldn't be able to stop the Boutique from disappearing into nothing.

"No..."

And just like that... Poof. It was gone.

Twilight put a hoof on Pinkie's shoulder. "Listen... We'll find a way to help Rarity or... Stop her, I guess, if things turn south."

Unfortunately, Pinkie wouldn't have time to think on that. Her eyes widened. "Guys, I have a crick in my neck."

Twilight looked at her marefriend. "OK, not the answer I was expecting."

Pinkie turned towards Discord. "You. Teleport us to my TARDIS, now."

Discord cocked an eyebrow into a rifle, shot it into the air, and had it land on his face again so he figuratively cock an eyebrow, all in the span of a few seconds. "Now, Pinkie Pie, I realize you're upset-"

Pinkie went straight to Discord and up in his face. "LISTEN HERE, YOU MISMATCHED BALLOON ANIMAL! TAKE US TO MY TARDIS NOW!"

Discord reeled back in shock. "Well, fine then! Party pooper..." And with a snap, they were all in front of Pinkie's Party Box underneath Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie immediately opened the box and jumped, shouting as she did. "INSIDE, NOW!" Not wanting to argue, Twilight, the Doctor, Discord, Starlight, Trixie and Fluttershy all followed after her.

Trixie gazed in wonder as she got in. "So this is the latest model. It's beautiful..."

Pinkie ducked to the ground and covered her ears. "Yeah yeah, it's a presidential model, anyways, DOCTOR! TRIXIE! BRACE YOURSELVES!"

The Doctor put two and two together quickly, ducked, and put his hooves to his ears.

Trixie, however, was new to this. "Why?!?"

All of a sudden, the 3 Gallifreyans felt a great twinge of pain. Trixie instinctually followed the form of her fellow Gallifreyans, screaming in agony as she did so, while other two gritted their teeth and let out much softer whimpers. Then, suddenly, the pain stopped. The others, Discord excluded, quickly clamored to each of them and helped them up. After three voices kept overlapping with a variety of different versions of the phrases "are you ok" and "what even happened?"

After the inhabitants of the Party Box all settled down, Trixie was the first to speak. "What was that? What happened to Trixie? She feels like was shot in the head with one of those gun things her mother warned her about!"

The Doctor staggered to his hooves. "That, my dear, was a time distortion. History has been changed somehow in a way it's not supposed to. The amount of power that would require to be able to be so painful yet quick... It's insurmountable!"

Discord made a variety of different... Well, Discords in order to give Pinkie a round of applause. "Well done, Pinkie Pie! I should have never doubted your Pinkie Sense!"

The Doctor grumbled, still in disbelief that it wasn't just a psychic ability or something similar.

Pinkie couldn't accept the praise. She knew that, whatever was out there, it would be terrible. Between the loss of her friend, a time distortion, and now whatever nightmare awaited them outside the Party Box...

Pinkie knew she was going to have a very bad day.

A chorus of voices descended on Sweetie Belle as she recovered from the sudden splitting headache... Which in turn gave her another more mild, yet more annoying, headache in and of itself. Thankfully, her "parents" had disappeared. If they had stayed to coddle her, Sweetie Belle's head may well have exploded.

"GIRLS! SPIKE! I'M BETTER NOW!"

Everyone else backed away. "Sorry, Sweetie Belle," Spike began, "we're just really worried because you just started... Screaming."

"Yeah," Scootaloo agreed, "what was that about?"

"Temporal distortion."

Where once was a wall stood a doorway with Rarity leaning against, disheveled. Well, to say it was Rarity is an exaggeration. Rarity is in there, yes. Cookie didn't lie, it was as if she was in a submarine under the sea... But she was leagues and leagues away from the upper levels. It would take a while to resurface, and that time certainly wasn't now.

"Temporal distortion," the mare wearing Rarity's face continued, coldly, "is when time itself has been altered in a major enough way that it affects Time Lords. Consider this your first lesson, Time Tot."

Applejack stepped back from the figure. "Time Tot? What's Time-" She looked at Sweetie Belle. "OK, Ah see it now. Cute name fer one of the youngins, Rares."

"That's not Rarity," Rainbow stated, "not anymore anyways."

The unicorn squinted at her accuser. "Damnit, I must have used one of my experimental Archs by mistake. I should have all the memories I had before, but you are a complete stranger to me. You all are..."

Sweetie Belle's eyes widened. "Even me?"

"Ugh" was the skinwalker's reply. "I remember you from when you were a mere infant, but yes, and that specifically irritates me to no end. Now I have no notes for my experiment. Still, it looks as if you're a complete success biologically."

"Experiment?" Applejack sized herself up. "That ain't no way to talk about yer sister, clone or not!"

The imposter scoffed. "Of course the hick wouldn't see the value in science."

"THE HICK?" AJ fumed. "Now listen here, ya varmint, it ain't that Ah don't like science or nothin', Ah just value family as the most cherished thing in the whole dadgum u-ni-verse!"

The unicorn let out an annoyed grunt. "You are wasting my time, you yokel."

AJ gritted her teeth. "An' just who in the HAY do ya think ya are?"

Suddenly, the unicorn floated a small, cylindrical device and pointed it at Applejack. Then, a red beam of light erupted from it, hitting her straight in the chest. All but the wielder of the weapon rushed to the farmer's aid. She was still alive, but clearly in a great deal of pain. She looked towards the Time Lord that was once her friend, who now had an expression of cold fury, and an icy stare. All of Rarity's fiery passion had apparently been replaced with cold calculation and curiousity. Then, the mare said something none of them would ever forget...

"I am the Rani, and you are in my way."

Author's Note

Next time...
"Don't fight them, you idiots! You'll become one!"
"Well, it would seem the world has ended. Let's unend it!"
"UNHAND ME, YOU SAVAGE BRUTE!"
The cruel pony just gave that ungodly arpeggio laugh. "I'M GOING SOLO!"
"Dash, it's me, AJ! Ya- Ya still remember me, don't ya?"
"I've been having a really... REALLY bad day, Twily..."
