Doctor Whooves: New Genesis
Chapter six: The bowling alley
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPOV: Sublight
I was standing. In the TARDIS.
I was the happiest unicorn in all of Equestria.
“Oh my god. This is SO cool!” I could barely contain my excitement.
Seriously. I was feeling the aster.
IN THE TARDIS HA HA
So anyway, Ditzy took a brief look around, and jumped backwards.
She did a lap around the TARDIS. Everyone does a lap around the TARDIS. She got back around to the front, and it was only then that I noticed her eyes.
They looked kinda.....derpy. She walked back inside.
“Don't worry, inter-dimensional transference. It's completely normal.” Said the Doctor. Almost casually. Ditzy stepped further inside. She walked through the short, black tunnel going into the control room. I followed. I walked up to the control panel, Ditzy right behind. I poked it and it turned.
“You've got a spinny console thingy.” I said, turning around to face the Doctor.
“Yep. It's a thing. Ponies don't question things, they just look at it and go 'oh, it's a thing'.”
Ditzy walked up to the console. There were lots of blinky lights on it.
“It's sitting on top of a rift in time and space. There's energy leaking out of it, unnoticeable by any living life form,” The doctor said, walking up to the console and slapping a hoof on the controls. “Except the TARDIS. I have to land every now and then, to open up the engines and soak up the residual radiation. So we've got about two hours before we can take off.”
“There's a bowling alley around here.” I said, almost jokingly.
I think Ditzy tried to give me the eye.
We stepped out onto the street. I think Ditzy had already grown accustomed to the Doctor's wierdness.
We bowled for about an hour, then we got lost. About twenty minutes later, we found the TARDIS and got accustomed with the insides. There are sleeping quarters, a mess hall, even a whole building-sized room containing every video game in existence.
The library even has a swimming pool in it.
The TARDIS was ready to take off. The Doctor had a glint in his eyes, like he got a kick out of flying it. He pushed buttons. He flipped switches. He pushed levers. The TARDIS started wooshing. Everything started shaking and rumbling.
“I—Is that supposed to be happening?” Asked Ditzy, tentatively.
“Yes it is! Ha! I'm in the TARDIS!” I practically screamed.
After all, I was in the TARDIS. The TARDIS! This is so cool! TARDIS! TARDIS! I loved the sound of even just the word TARDIS!
Well, the acronym. There was a loud gong, and the TARDIS thunked to a stop. Ditzy was about to open the doors, but the Doctor stopped her.
“Do you hear that?” He asked.
“What?” Ditzy looked a bit frightened.
“That noise.” I said.
There was a rhythmic, metallic pounding, followed by a hissing, then another. And not just one. I could hear dozens, possibly hundreds of them.
“What is that?” Ditzy looked terrified, like she recognized them.
“We're in Manehatten. But that means....... no. No, no, no! This is not happening again.” The Doctor looked desperate. I had to see for myself. I wrenched the door open, Ditzy's eyes starting to fill with tears.
We were on 42nd street.
And it was lined with cyberponies.
Hundreds and hundreds of cyberponies.
