Fluttershy and the Dalek
Chapter One: The Cosmic Encounter.
It was the night of the meteor shower and all of the Twilight's friends were up on the tallest hill in Ponyville stargazing. Rainbow Dash had moved the clouds out of the way just for the occasion and was now retelling the story about the time she saved Fluttershy during the Changeling invasion Canterlot. Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity listened intently while Twilight adjusted her telescope. Spike had once again fallen asleep.
“…And then, when the Changelings had Fluttershy cornered I broke my cover and BANG! Gave them a hoof right to the jaw. Didn’t even see it coming. They went down like rocks!” yelled the Rainbow Dash.
“I know, I was so scared I thought they were going to get me.” Said Fluttershy blushing. She always was so embarrassed this story by She truly was thankful for rainbow saving her though.
“That’s right,” Rainbow replied, “after I saved Flutters I picked her up off and ground and-"
“Why do I feel like ya told us this story before?” Said Applejack sarcastically.
“Did I really? When?” Said Rainbow dash
“Oo, oo I know I know.” Said Pinkie Pie raising her hoof as if she were a filly in a classroom
“Yes, Pinkie?”
“You told this story in the other story!” She said Pinkie Pie.
“What other story Pinkie?” Questioned Rarity. She was about to answer when Twilight interrupted.
“Girls! Come look the meteor shower is starting!” The ponies all looked up into the sky to see that sure enough, the meteor shower had begun. Beautiful streaks of many different colors began to light up the night sky.
“Such fabulous colors,” remarked Rarity, “If only I could reach up, pull them down and put them on one of my dresses. I’m sure they would sell.”
“Oh wow! I don’t remember the shooting stars having this many colors last time.” Pinkie remarked. “They’re like a bunch of sonic rainbooms!”
“That may be going just a little too far Pinkie, but they are still pretty cool,” said Dash in reply.
“It is strange though, meteorites are normally only a few different colors, which are based upon what minerals are being burnt up in the atmosphere,” remarked Twilight. “I wonder what the reason is for all these different colors?”
As the shooting stars fell Fluttershy stared up at them in wonder. The steaks of color reflecting off her eyes. She also took note of the stars. There sure were a lot of them. So many stars. It made her feel so small and insignificant to realize how big the universe was.
And how she was completely alone.
Well that wasn’t entirely true. She did have her friends. But that was all she had. And that’s all she would ever have. She would never have a very special sompony of her own.
It wasn’t that she didn’t get looks. Stallions would hit on her all the time, but if you can believe it, Fluttershy was a very shy pony and stallions tended to scared her. Her lips would lock up and not be able to talk. Eventfully it would get awkward and they would eventfully leave her alone again.
She pictured her dream stallion. All she wanted a stallion that would make her feel safe. Someone that she could talk to without feeling shy. Somepony strong and brave and loyal.
A knight in shining armor.
Fluttershy sighed. Too bad nopony like that existed. She looked up and saw one of the most beautiful shooting star yet. It had a long golden color. She closed her eyes and made a wish on it. She wished, against hope, that someday she meet her dream stallion and that she wouldn’t be too shy.
She opened her eyes again to see the shooting star still there. Slightly bigger than it had been before. She looked at it a little confused. didn't shooting stars normally disappear after a few seconds?
Suddenly Pinkie Pie’s tail began to twitch. At first only a little bit, then more and more violently until it was hard for her to ignore it anymore.
“LOOK OUT! SOMETHING REALLY REALY BIG IS GONNA FALL!” she screamed, covering her head. The rest of the group covered their heads as well, other than Spike, who was asleep.
“Are you sure about that Pinkie?” Asked Twilight, panicking slightly.
“I know it for sure Twilight. My tail is-a twichin'. Hhhhhuuuuu! What if it's one of the shooting stars! What if it crashes into Ponyville? What if it has aliens on it and an alien pony comes out and is like 'take me to Celesta!’? What if-"
“Pinkie Pie, that’s enough,” interrupted Twilight, trying to calm everypony down. “The meteors can’t make it through the atmosphere. They’ll burn up just like always. Nothing to worry about, now if we can all just calm down and figure out what what’s going to fall then we can-"
“Um, girls, if you don’t mind me saying something…” stammered Fluttershy, looking up at the sky. “That meteor looks awfully big and is moving awfully fast.” The six ponies looked toward the giant meteor as it streaked across the sky towards the Everfree forest. “Dear Celestia,” whispered Applejack as she watched the meteor crash into the Everfree Forest.
***
A few minutes earlier
“EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! THIS IS DALEK VESSLE 11410. WE ARE CRIPPLED AND CAUGHT IN PLANETARY GRAVITATIONAL PULL, EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!”
The Dalek ship had emerged from the time vortex. It was badly damaged from having come straight from the Time War. It had barely escaped after the Time Lord attack and was beginning to break apart in the atmosphere of the unknown planet and now was hurling toward it at alarming speed.
“RESPOND, RESPOND, ASSIST, ASSIST!” cried the Dalek Commander, Zek, in a panicked robotic voice.
“IT IS FUTILE. WE ARE NOT WITHIN BROADCAST RANGE, WE MUST ESCAPE USING AN EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!” said Vice Commander Lez.
“WE MUST NOT ABANDON THE SHIP!” Zek barked in his harsh metal voice.
“WE MUST ABANDON!” Lez argued back.
“WE MUST NOT!” said Zek.
"THE SURVIVAL OF THE DALEK RACE DEPENDS UPON OUR SURVIVAL." countered Lez.
“YOU LEAVE,” Said Commander Zek. “DALEK PROTOCAL INDICATES THAT THE CAPTAIN MUST GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP.”
“I OBEY," said Vice Commander Lez. “EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!” The Dalek disappeared in a bright light. The rest of the Daleks on board followed suit.
“EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!” They too vanished in a bright light.
This left Dalek Zek alone on deck of his ship. A commander of burning wreckage of a Dalek ship doomed with no crew. His black sleek armor, reflecting the image of the fire burning around him.
Alone.
Daleks don’t have any emotions. They are above such a weakness. They do not feel compassion, they do not feel love, and they do not feel loneliness or fear. They only feel hate.
Then why, inside his metal casing was the creature known as Zek shaking? This action was not logical. He must prepare for impact.
“Raise the shields to maximum. Engage emergency harness.” The ship raised its shields based on his voice command, and restrained Dalek Zek in his harnessed. He put his own personal shields on armor lock and prepared for impact…
***
Present Time.
“Dear Celestia.” The object crashed down in the Everfree Forest with tremendous force shaking the very ground beneath the ponies' hooves.
"Oh my goodness!" exclaimed Rarity. “I hope nopony's been hurt!”
“Don’t worry, nopony lives in the Everfree Forest. Well, except for some animals and Zecora, but she doesn't live near that part of the Everfree Forest,” said Applejack.
Fluttershy felt her heart drop at the mention of the animals.
“Oh dear, the animals!” Fluttershy said, rushing toward the forest.
“Whatever crashed there is probably gonna be cool! I want to see!” said Dash flying past Fluttershy, sending her spinning. “Wait for me. I want to see the aliens,” said Pinkie bouncing at a leisurely pace after Rainbow Dash.
“Guys wait! Don’t touch anything!” warned Twilight “Whatever it is, that crash will be of scientific interest!” Her warning was in vain, however, since all three of them soon left sight. “There they go again,” sighed Twilight. "Rushing off with no plan at all, I mean, really. Applejack, Rarity you two coming?"
“Sure I’m up for an adventure,” said Applejack. “How bout you Rarity?”
"Well I’d love to darling, but somepony has to stay behind with little Spiky-Wikey." She made eyes at the adorable sleeping dragon.
“Well alrighty then, lets go Twi,” said Applejack, trotting towards the woods, followed by Twilight.
Fluttershy and the Dalek: Opposites Attract
Love at First sight?
Rainbow Dash blew through the forest and arrived first at the crash site, Fluttershy followed close behind.
The meteor if that’s what it was had cleared a bath around one hundred meters wide through the forest until came to a stop after about fiver hundred meters. There were small fires lit around the area. The object itself seemed to be a gold metallic disk. Small fires burned on the outside of it.
“Whoa.” Said Rainbow Dash.
“Ooooo. It’s like a giant Frisbee, except it’s made of metal.” Said Pinkie popping up from nowhere startling Fluttershy. Dash was less surprised.
“I didn’t know Meteors were saucer shaped. I thought they would look more, I don’t know star shaped?” Said Fluttershy after she looked around for any hurt animals. She found a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest. She quickly returned it to its parents and then joined the Rainbow and Pinkie.
“Well duh, that’s because it’s not a meteor, this is clearly a Dalek space ship. How many times do I have to say it?” Said Pinkie Pie
“It’s an alien ship? Like the aliens form “Daring Doo and the Crystal Skull”? That’s awesome! Let’s go take a look inside!” Said Rainbow Dash.
Fluttershy was less eager.
“B-but what if the aliens aren’t’ nice like the little green colts from that book? What if they…eat meat or worse?” Said Fluttershy panicky.
“Well you don’t know that now do you? Besides what if sompony or somealien in there is hurt?”
Fluttershy pictured somepony with his leg trapped underneath some rubble, calling sompony to come rescue him. Well if there were injured if there were injured ponies inside then she would have to be brave.
“Ok…” said Fluttershy reluctantly. The three ponies looked around the outside meteor/spaceship looking for an entrance. There was no sign of one.
“I don’t get it. If there are little green colts in there how do they get in and out?” Said Rainbow Dash.
“Oh well, we tried, let’s go home now?” Said Fluttershy.
Suddenly a hatch on top of the ship sprung open as if it was a mouth of a creature inviting them inside.
***
Inside the ship Dalek Zek was doing a damage check on himself and his ship.
“Check of all systems has indicates complete loss of function of all systems with the exceptions of some lighting and door mechanisms.” Said the main computer before it shorted out.
Repair is impossible with this type damage. Zek himself had received minor damage, though many dents covered his black Dalek armor. He would not be able to do a full system analysis however until he could get upright.
As it was, he was trapped on his sides underneath metal and wire debris that had fallen on him. He turned his mid section and tried to free himself using his plunger arm. No matter how much he struggled he could not get himself free. At last the Dalek gave up his struggle and was ready to except his fate of rotting in the bottom of his ship. When he suddenly heard the noise of the cargo door opening.
***
The three ponies walked over to the hatch that had just opened. Above the entrance read Xob Llac Ecilop in some alien language.
“It says the “Sickness” in alien.” translated Pinkie Pie.
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes at that.
Fluttershy peered into the dark entrance of the space ship. Light from the moon only illuminated it partly it was impossible to see what lay beyond that point.”
“Huh what do you know. I guess it was a space ship.” Said Rainbow Dash.
“See told you.” Said Pinkie Pie.
“I-it sure is dark in there…” said Fluttershy getting the feeling that some kind of horrible monster was waiting down there just out of her sight.
“Good thing I brought flash lights!” Said Pinkie Pie pulling out three flashlights. “In case of flash light emergencies.” Pinkie handed each of them a flashlight.
“Ok let’s go.”
The three ponies descended into the ship. Looking around they could see a technology that was beyond their wildest dreams. The walls were covered with circuits and pipes that led deep into the ship. None of them knew what any of it did.
Ooooo, that’s a neutron flow machine. Oh and that’s polarity reverser! " Exclaimed Pinkie Pie.
None of them.
“And that’s a…sonic…screwdriver…” Pinkie Pie trailed off as she looked at a metallic object on the floor. She seemed to space out a little bit.
“Pinkie are you ok?” Asked Fluttershy. She was worried. It wasn’t normal for Pinkie Pie to stop talking mid sentence.
“Huh? Yeah i'm fine someone just needs to turn down their music. Now lets go!” She skipping off to the beat of some sort of unseen drum.
Rainbow dash shrugged and followed Pinkie. Fluttershy afraid to be by herself in this dark and alien spaceship followed. The three ponies walked for minutes a twisty hallway. There were a few doors on each side, but they couldn’t find anyway to open them. After minutes of walking they reached a three-way fork in the hallway.
“Well I guess this is where we split up.” Said Rainbow Dash.
“Wait, what. Split up? Like separate from each other?” Said Fluttershy feeling panic growing.
“Don’t worry, just yell real loud if you need anything and I’ll save ya. We’ll meet back here in about an hour. Ok?” Said Rainbow Dash.
“B-but b-but-”
“All set? move out troops!” said Rainbow Dash as she flew off into left tunnel.
“I’ll see ya latter Fluttershy.” Said Pinkie Pie as she bounced off into the middle tunnel
Leaving Fluttershy alone.
In the dark
On an alien spaceship.
Ok Fluttershy you can do this. All you need is to hold keep it together. Forget that you’re in a terrifying, dark, alien spaceship. With no lights. She almost decided to turn back. But then she thought about somepony being trapped. Alone in a terrifying, dark, alien spaceship. She couldn’t leave somepony like that.
Fluttershy took a deep breath and pressed onwards. She took the passage on the left. She walked through when there was not a lot of debris and flew when there was too much. Her flashlight was held in between her teeth. It cast it’s light off of the pipes casting strange shadows to appear on the walls. They scared Fluttershy. But she pressed on anyway.
Suddenly there was a loud noise. The sound of a wall collapse caused Fluttershy to jump into the air. She looked over at the collapsed wall. It had opened a passage to some sort of main room.
“Oh just the crumbling wall of the creepy space ship Fluttershy nothing to be worried about.” She said trying to reassure herself.
Fluttershy was about to move on when she heard a voice.
“Help me.” Croaked the metallic voice.
Fluttershy immediately hid behind a pile of rubble.
“Help me, somebody.” Croaked the voice. Fluttershy nervously peaked her head over the rubble. She had never heard a voice like that. And she never anypony use the phrase, “somebody”, before. But if there was one thing that Fluttershy never did it was abandon sompony who needed help.
Fluttershy had never heard anypony talk that before. But being whoever it was needed help. “Don’t worry I’m coming.” said Fluttershy going through the hole in the wall. On the other side of the wall was what looked like the main bridge of the ship with cracked computer monitors and scanners and who knows what else. In the center of the room was a bunch of debris on top of a trashcan-looking thing.
“Hello? Is anypony in here?
“Over here.” Said the voice. It was coming from the debris. Who ever it was must be trapped underneath.
“I’m coming don’t worry!” Said Fluttershy. She flew over to the debris “But where are you? All I see is debris.”
Suddenly the trashcan was speaking to her the light bulbs on top of it’s head flashing as it spoke.
“Help me, I’m trapped under this rubble, please assist.”
Fluttershy was almost in too much shock to help the poor thing. On closer inspection it did not look like a trash can at all. It was a sleek black and so shiny that she could see her reflection even though it had several dents and burn marks on. It had bumps running down it’s sides and a stock on it’s top. What looked like a plunger and some kind of stick poked out from its mid section.
It was beautiful Fluttershy had never seen anything like it before. It was so shiny and elegant although she was sure some would disagree. She stared at it in shock.
“Assist me life form.” It repeated. “Assist.”
“O-o-of course.” Said Fluttershy brushing off her initial shock. She jumped to her hooves to help this strange alien, for that's what the creature must be. “How did this happen to you? Are there any more of you?” said Fluttershy pulling off the wreckage.
“I...don't know.” He said and then was silent.
Oh no this poor robot. All his robot friends must have been killed in the crash.
After minutes of shifting the trashcan-robot was free. Fluttershy hoisted him into an upright position.
“Up you go. Um are you ok Mr. Robot? Are you hurt anywh-
“I will ask the questions inferior life form!” The creature yelled startling Fluttershy.
“What planet is this?"
"Well, this is Equestria Mr. Robot now if you could-”
“What type of organism are you?” Demanded the Dalek with its harsh voice
“Well… I’m a pony if that’s what you’re asking.”
“You belong to the species known as ponies?” The machine said putting stress on every syllable.
“Yes and what about y-you.” Stammered Fluttershy.
“I am a Dalek I am the superior race. I have no further use for you. You will be EX-TER-MIN-ATED!” The Dalek aimed its weapon towards Fluttershy…
Fluttershy and the Dalek: Opposites Attract
Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey
Fluttershy’s mind reeled trying to comprehend what he Dalek had said.
“E-exterminate? Wh-what does that mean exactly.” Asked Fluttershy sounding worried. She had heard that phrase before, but could not seem to remember exactly where.
There was the sound of something short-circuiting coming from the Dalek. It looked down at its weapon.
“PRIMARY WEAPON FAILURE SWICHING TO MELEE WEAPON!” Said the Dalek.
It pointed its plunger arm towards Fluttershy and slowing began chanting,
“EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!” It’s voice elevating with every word.
Fluttershy didn’t know what the Dalek was trying to do, but she didn’t like it. She tried to make a run for it. But he wing got caught on something, causing her to fall over. She looked up to see the Dalek was nearly right next to her. It’s plunger extended out towards Fluttershy.
“PREPARING TO REMOVE BRAIN TISSUE!” Shouted the Dalek. The plunger rested against Fluttershy’s head for a second. The Dalek paused. Fluttershy was shaking.
“EXTERMINATE!” Shouted the Dalek once more.
Suddenly there was a blue beam of light that shot across the room hitting the Dalek in the back.
“AGAHHAH!” Shouted the Dalek before he sizzled out and lost conscienceless. His eye stalk pointed up in the air.
Fluttershy blinked in confusion. Did something just kill the Dalek?
“M-mr. Dalek are you…”
“He is fine.” Said a robotic voice. “I assure you.”
Fluttershy looked into the darkness of the ship’s bridge. She could see the outline of something that looked like a trash can.
Another Dalek
Fluttershy and the new Dalek stared at each other. The flames that licked at the Dalek’s sides illuminating the two of them. The flames did not harm him.
Finally after what seemed like minutes Fluttershy said something.
“W-what did you do him?”
“I set my death beam to stun. Although I have never used that setting. It should in theory work.” Said the mysterious Dalek its voice sounded a lot like the first one but it was more quite.
“But why, why did you save me?” Said Fluttershy. The Dalek was quite for a second. And then he said:
“Because I was going to kill you. And I no longer want to. Because you will be my friend and…” The Dalek was silent.
Fluttershy looked at the Dalek that had just been stunned and then back to the new Dalek. She noticed that some of the dents that the new Dalek were exactly the same as the other Dalek.
“Are you…the same Dalek?” Asked Fluttershy.
“It is not important. Listen I came here to warn you. There is another Dalek. He is golden in color and he calls himself Caan. No matter what he says to do not listen to him.
“Why not?”
“He is trying to throw off the timeline and he’s not alone. There are very few people you can trust.
“Can I trust my friends?” Asked Fluttershy.
“NO especially not the Pink one. You can trust anyone who has a Pyramid for a head, Xuchilbara or anyone calls themselves the Doctor as unless they offer you a jelly baby.” Said the Dalek. “Do not trust the faceless one either.”
“Above all. Do not trust me. Leave me here and let the colts in black get me. I deserve it after what I’ve done to you…”
“Why, I don’t understand, why can’t I trust my friends, what’s going on?” pleaded Fluttershy.
“Fluttershy!” Yelled somepony with a southern accent. Applejack was coming down the hallway.
“I have to go. Do not tell your friends you saw me.” Said the Dalek.
“Wait what’s your name?” Shouted Fluttershy.
The Dalek paused
“My name is…Zek…EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT!” There was a bright flash of light and Zek the Dalek was gone.
“Fluttershy! Yelled Applejack reaching her at last. “Thank goodness you’re alright. What was that flash of light?”
“It was the Dalek.” Said Fluttershy.
“I beg your pardon?”
Fluttershy explained how she had split up from Pinkie and Rainbow Dash, found the Dalek buried underneath a pile of rubble. And how the Dalek started yelling at her. She left out the part about being saved by Zek.
“And then he suddenly stopped moving.” Said Fluttershy. She couldn’t think of any other way to explain it to Applejack.
“Wow that there is quite a story. You could have been hurt. I’m gonna kill Rainbow for letting you go alone. Yeah, me and Twilight just got here a few minutes ago. But we weren’t the only ones. A bunch of military thugs in black suits also showed up. I think they’re here for the space ship. We think that they might be the colts in black.”
“The Colts in Black?” Repeated Fluttershy.
“Yeah they keep alien stuff all hush hush.” Said Applejack. “I don’t know what they’ll do to us if they find us in here, but I do know it won’t be good. We got to get out of here.”
“Applejack!” Called Twilight. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie following close behind her.
“Ah here come the others now.” Said Appleajck
“We got to get out of here now!” Shouted Twilight. “The CIB are right behind us! “Everypony grab hoofs I’ll teleport us out!” Eveypony in the group grabbed onto Twilight ready to teleport away
Everypony expept for Fluttershy.
“Fluttershy what are you waiting for! Grab on!” shouted Rainbow Dash.
“What about the Dalek?” Said Fluttershy. “I can’t just leave him!”
“Forget about him!”
Fluttershy thought about it for a second and then put her hoof down.
“No, I’m not going to leave him!”
“Fluttershy I’ve never tried to teleport more then five ponies before. I could mess up and get the body parts mixed up.”
“Wait, that can happen?” Said Rainbow Dash nervously.
“No, I can’t just leave him. Even if he’s scary some of the time. He’s a living creature and I can’t leave him.”
“Uhhh, fine put him on your back and I’ll see what I can do.” Groaned Twilight. Fluttershy lifted the Dalek onto her back. She struggled with the weight, after all the Dalek was much bigger then her. She ended up just pushing the Dalek to the group.
“Hey you! Stop where you are!” yelled a pony wearing a black suit.
“Twilight now!”
Twilight focused her magic onto one point in time and space and then….
Her magic failed.
“You’re under arrest.” Said the buff pony and black.
Twilight tried again. But it was no good. She needed a more power.
Then she felt it. The power of something old. Something new. Something stolen something blue. Filling up her body.
In a flash of purple light twilight and the rest of the mane six disappeared.
***
The six ponies reappeared at Twilights library. It was about two seconds before they teleported but they didn’t notice.
“Phew, I thought they had us for sure.” Said Applejack.
“Everypony still have all their body parts in the right place?” Asked Twilight.
Everypony looked over each other for a second making sure all their body parts were in the right spot.
“OH NO!” Yelled Pinkie.
Eveypony, expecting the worst looked over at Pinkie. Surprisingly she looked perfectly fine.
“What’s the matter Pinkie?”
“I’M MISSING ONE OF MY HEARTS!” Yelled Pinkie, “The one on the right side is completely gone!”
“Pinkie this is no time to play games.” Said Twilight, “Everypony knows ponies have one heart on their left side.”
“We do?” Everypony nodded at her. “I didn’t know that.” Said Pinkie Pie calming down. “Never mind I’m fine.” Twilight rolled her eyes.
“Eveypony else ok?”
“Yeah”
“Yep”
“A okey”
“Alright good. Now down to business. Could sompony please explain what this...thing is?” Twilight demanded.
Eyes fell onto Fluttershy who explained the whole encounter again baring the fact that a Dalek had saved her.
“And now we have a, possibly evil alien creature that may or may not have tried to kill you, that the government wants and will probably stop at nothing to get in my library?” Said Twilight.
“Yes, I guess.” Said Fluttershy.
“We must turn it in immediately.” Said Twilight, “Spike take a letter.”
“No wait! He hasn’t done anything wrong.” Said Fluttershy.
“No, but he tried too. And he’ll try again.”
“You don’t know that for sure. For all you know he could have just been confused or scared or both.” Said Fluttershy
Twilight went on a rant
“Ok, let’s say we don’t turn him in. How do we know he won’t get scared or confused again? Sompony could get hurt if no one was watching him. What if The Colts in black come by and find him what then? The princess would be so mad at me!”
Fluttershy thought about it.
He-he can stay at my house we can tie him up so he can’t hurt anyone. Said Fluttershy. Nopony would think to look for him there and he would be out of the way of everypony in Ponyville. I can teach him how to behave around other ponies.
Twilight thought it over carefully.
Well I suppose it can’t hurt, but if anything happens I’m holding you responsible Fluttershy.
“Ok.” she agreed
“now, lets get this Dalek tied up ok? AJ?”
“I’ll get my rope…”
Fluttershy and the Dalek: Opposites Attract
The Master of Laugher + Caan = Song?
The Master of Laugher + Caan = Song?
Under the cover of night Fluttershy pushed the Dalek (Zek) from Twilight's library to her house. She couldn’t help but think about what the Dalek that had saved her had warned her about.
“Be careful of a golden dalek, a faceless pony and a person who wears a scarf.” She repeated to herself not even imagining what a person could be. “And above all don’t trust Zek but if I can’t trust him how can I trust him to tell me who not to trust? What if his plan was to make her not trust him. And that the ponies that she wasn’t supposed to trust should be trusted? But what if his plan was to use reverse phycology?” This made Fluttershy’s head spin just thinking about it.
She pushed the unconscious Dalek into her shed that she normally kept gardening supplies or animal feed. She put up a sign that said, stay out of my shed please.
Either way Fluttershy wanted him to feel confortable while he was in Ponyville. Now what could she do that would make him feel welcome?
Fluttershy looked at the Dalek. What should be a shiny coat of black was chipped and burned.
He could use a new one…
Fluttershy had an idea.
***
Pinkie Pie was stacking the inventory at Sugar Cube Corner at a steady beat. When all of a sudden a golden Dalek. Emergency Temporal Shifted in.
"Hello welcome to Sugar Cube Corner how may I help you?" said Pinkie Pie unfazed by the fact a Dalek appeared out of nowhere in the room.
“Who would have thought it?” Said Caan the Dalek his voice elevated in an un Dalek like speech pattern, “The famous Time Lord, the Doctor’s arch enemy, would end up in a place so peaceful like Equestria. Could you be the infamous “Master of laugher”?”
“No no no, that was a past life silly head. Ponies just call me Pinkie Pie now.” Said The Master still stacking shelves in a rhythmic fashion. “What can I do for ya Mr. Caan of the Cult of Scaro? The prophet Dalek that can see the future at the cost of his own sanity? Perhaps a cake or a cupcake?”
“No not right now, I’m gathering an evil team together in hopes of causing some havoc and I heard your in the neighborhood so I dropped in to have a chat.”
“Well that’s good for you Mr. Caan, but I don’t do evil anymore. Haven’t hatched any plans since I lost that drumming in my head, just lost my rhythm after the Doctor sent stopped the Time Lords from returning and I regenerated into a pony. now a days I'm retired living a peaceful life in Ponyville.” All the while Pinkie is still putting stuff away in a rhythm that sounded like a drum beat.
Caan stared at Pinkie as she stacked the shelves of Sugar Cube Corner as if to say "are you kidding me ?" but instead of saying that he thought the idea would better expressed in song form.
[[Caan: So you're saying that you don't have rhythm
But listen what you're doing right there
With that stamp and a book
You've got a real nice hook
Sounds to me like you've got rhythm to spare
(Pinkie begins to sing opening and shutting draws in a rhythmic pattern)
Master Pie: I have no idea what you're talking about
I've got as much rhythm as that chairWhat happened to me was a tragedy
But I don't have to be a master of affair
Look, I got a sweet deal going on here
I got all the cupcakes that I can eat
All these sweet old ponies and this carpet from the oldies
What more could a Time Lord need?
Mrs Cake: Ssh!
some ponies are trying to sleep!
Master Pie (hushed): Besides, I ain't got rhythm
No, I ain't got rhythm
Said I ain't got rhythm
I ain't got rhythm
Caan: You're kidding me right, y-you're kidding me
Don't you see what you were doing right then?
That's a wicked groove you were starting to move
Master, you've got rhythm times ten
Master Pie: I think perhaps that you're not listening
I find it tedious to repeat
It's no big crime,
I just can't keep time
I'm telling you I lost the beat
I don't need my face on t-shirts
Or hit a power-chord deathstar
They were chanting my name
I guess it's a shame
But I don't need to be a rock star
Besides, I ain't got rhythm
No, I ain't got rhythm
Said I ain't got rhythm
I ain't got rhythm
I ain't got rhythm
Caan: Sounds like rhythm to me
Pinkie Pie: No, I ain't got rhythm
Caan: Seems like they all agree
Pinkie Pie: Said I ain't got rhythm
Caan: But you're laying down some funky syncopation!
Pinkie Pie: I ain't got rhythm
Caan: But you got that beat
Master Pie: No, I ain't got rhythm
Caan: Look at them, they're stomping their hoofs
Pinkie Pie: Said I ain't got rhythm
Caan: It's time for you to rule a brand new generation
Library patrons: Brand new generation
Caan and Master Pie: Gonna rule a brand new generation
Master Pie: Because I ain't got rhythm!
Mrs. Cake: (sigh), Would you just go join the dark side already?
(Music style switches to a swing tune)
Library patrons: Ain't got rhythm
Ain't got rhythm
Ain't got rhythm
Ain't got rhythm
(Drum solo)

“Great are you ready to do some evil?” Said Caan.
“Sure I got some free time. So what’s the plan?” Said Master Pie.
“Well you see there's this pony named Fluttershy and a Dalek named Zek…”
Author's Note
Yes this is Caan (the crazy Dalek) from the other timeline just like Zek. The Caan from this yet has not arrived yet. Threw this together in about an hour. Wish i had more time, but i'm working on other stuff.
