Gone and Back Again

Derpy was tired, but she couldn't sleep. Shivering, she pulled the blanket closer to her. She wished that she was in her old cloud home. It was a selfish thought, and a mean one, as her daughters were unicorns, but just for a second, it was there. The sense of deja vu that she had been feeling all day had vanished when she thought it, but as soon as she drove the thought away, for she had to be kind, the deja vu returned.

Derpy gave up on sleeping, and let her eyes roam. One pointed towards the window without the other one, but she was too tired to try and fix it. And so, she saw it. A small dot flickered into existance against the dark sky, then landed.

Derpy jerked up. She searched the area out of her window, consitering leaving her room. 'No.' She thought, laying back on her bed. 'It's just that old dream again. That's why you had deja vu. The dream came back.'

And so, with that thought on her mind, she feel asleep.

A brownish gray stallion growled at his time machine. "No! Confound it, you silly machine!' He kicked out his hoof, then looked at it. 'Hoof?..' He thought, surprised.

"Doctor! I'm a pegasus!" His wife, Melody, called from somewhere else in the TARDIS. "I know, dear! I'm a pony, too!" He responded, realizing what was going on. "Just hold tight! We'll land in a minute!" 'Of course this would happen when I'm with her. Well, we might get more time together now. I hope we don't created a time paradox by spending to much time together. I mean, in regular time, she'd be about what, 10? 6? Stay calm... stay calm...'

Melody stumbled over, blinking. As a pony, she was a brown pegasus. Her hair -'Mane' he thought- was a light caramel-y color, and her coat was a darker brown. Her eyes were also a dark brown. Her cutie mark was a blue vortex.

"What do I look like? Do I have a spiky brown mane, a lighter brown coat, blue eyes and a hourglass on my rump?" The Doctor asked, trying to look at himself. "No. Stop spinning in circles, and I'll tell you what you look like." He stopped, and Melody looked him over. "You have a gray-brown coat, a almost black mane that looks like it's brown, amber eyes and a hourglass on your rump. How did you know about the hourglass?"

Her eyes seemed to be penetrate his body, searching for an answer. "Well, you see... In my last body, the TARDIS sent me to a land called Equestria, where magical ponies that talk in English live. While I was there, I was brought by a purple pegasus to the Summer Sun Festival. The princess who ruled over Equestria was Celestia, an alicorn -a unicorn with wings, dear- who raised the sun and the moon. She was supposed to be there in Ponyville, but instead, her sister who's another alicorn was freed from her prison in the moon by four stars and trapped Celestia in an amulet, I believe. Nightmare Moon, the alicorn whom was freed from the moon, was defeated and returned to her original self, Luna. Celestia was freed from the amulet, and everypony was happy again. Then, the pegasus Ditzy and I went on a few adventures in the TARDIS. Eventually, it was time to return to the human universe, so I left Der... Ditzy and came home."

Melody's expression softened. "Do you miss Ditzy?" Doctor Who, or Doctor Whooves, as he was called in this world, sighed. "I did, for awhile. But when I regenerated, the feeling started going away." His eyes flashed. "But now, I can see her again!" He grabbed Melody. "It'll be fun! We're here because SOMETHING is going to happen! So we'll fix something with her! Maybe have some adventures!" His smile widened. "It's quite fun to be a pony, I swear Melody! We'll have so much... fun?" Melody had turned away, and looked out the TARDIS door. "Why didn't you tell me? It seems like a big thing..."

The Doctor sighed. "It was a hurtful subject, and after awhile, I partially forgot. Now, can we go look around?" He smiled hopefully. "Of course we can, Doctor. Let's go." And so, they set out into the night, ready for adventure.
