Chapter 1
The large blue police box slowly came into solidity. Unbeknownst to the small stallion inside, he had a small, grey, wall-eyed onlooker. The strange stallion with the chestnut fur and thick brown mane stepped out of his blue box, and was shocked when he saw his small onlooker. “Your eyes...” the stallion said, with a thick British accent “Why do they look like that.”
“Look like what?” the grey Pegasus pony with the bubble cutie mark replied.
“They point in two different directions.” said the chestnut pony.
The grey pony looked at him quizzically, “No, they don’t. Why would you think something like that” she stated, calmly.Then she finally got a better look at the pony who she was talking to. He was smaller than a normal stallion, about her size, maybe bigger, with a thick and messy mane, and an hourglass cutie mark.
“Um... I really have to ask you, what year is it.” The Stallion asked, acting kind of embarrassed.
“What kind of question is that. Everypony knows it’s the year 2009.” the grey mare asked, then paused and asked “What’s your name?”
“I’m The Doctor” answered The Doctor. “What’s yours?”
“The doctor of what, exactly?” said the grey pony
“No, no... just the doctor.” The Doctor replied
“But you need to be a doctor of something! I mean there are surgeons, pediatricians... oh, and Optometrist, I have one of those. Something about my eyes...” said the grey mare, who was still avoiding the question
“Ok, ok, I get it, but what is your name?” said The Doctor, finally re-railing the conversation
“My name is Derpy Hooves.” said the grey pony.
“Well, Derpy,” The Doctor said “Another thing, where am I, and is there a town or city somewhere close where I could find a place to rest for the night.”
“You’re in the land of Equestria silly. Why can't you just sleep in your big blue house.” Derpy said.
“Oh, dear Derpy,” The Doctor said, “This is not a house. This is the TARDIS. It stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. It is a time machine that I can use-” Derpy stopped listening there. She thought that he was saying “Muffins, muffins muffins muffins, muffins muffins muffins, muffins, muffins.” Her eyes started going in all different directions, moving, circling around and around, until The Doctor woke her up. “Derpy... DERPY!” he said.
“Huh?” Derpy said, her eyes snapping back to their normal, or rather, relatively normal, form.
“As I was saying,” The Doctor said, "This is a time machine, not a house. So I need to go to a town to find a place to sleep.”
“Well, we can go to Ponyville, that’s closer. We also have Canterlot, The Crystal Empire, Manehattan...” Derpy then started rattling off all of the cities in Equestria, no matter how far away they were or how illogical it would be to get there. Finally The Doctor stopped her.
“You said that there was a city... um... Ponyville near here. Let’s go there. Are there other ponies there.” The Doctor asked, “Of all the ponies to meet,” he thought to himself, “It had to be her”.
Derpy started to rattle of all the names of the ponies in Ponyville“Oh sure, there are ponies there. There’s my best friend Carrot-top, there’s Pinkie pie, she throws the best parties in all of Equestria, there’s...”
“Why don’t we walk to this town while we talk.” The Doctor said. They then started the long trek back to Ponyville, with Derpy chattering along beside him.
They eventually got to Ponyville, and Derpy led The Doctor to the best inn in Ponyville. The Doctor thanked Derpy and entered the inn, He stepped into a room painted turquoise, with different photo’s and paintings hanging on the walls. He walked up to a cream colored pony, with an orange mane. “Hello, I would like a room for the night,” he said.
“Oh sure, what’s your name,” the innkeeper pony said.
“The Doctor, just The Doctor.” He said, fearing another conversation about Doctoring.
“Alright, that’s a weird name, but I guess i’m not one to judge.” said the innkeeper pony.
“What’s you’re name than.” The Doctor asked.
“I’d rather not say.” the innkeeper pony said
Then the doctor dropped the five bit room fee as she handed him his key.
Derpy was just getting home, “Dinky, I’m back.” She said as her daughter ran up to her and gave her a hug. Dinky Hooves was Derpy’s daughter with a pony named Ponet. Ponet left her after Dinky was born, and she hadn’t seen him anywhere since, she thought he ran off to Manehattan, and settled down with another mare. Just the thought brought tears to Derpy’s eyes. “Hey Dinky, wanna go out to Carrot Top’s house.”
“Sure, Momma,” Dinky said, and they walked out the door together.
When they got to Carrot Top’s house, as she was just walking out the door. “Oh hey Derpy, hi Dinky. What are you doing here.” Carrot Top began as she saw them enter.
“Just coming over to say hi.” Said Derpy “Hi!” then one of her eyes locked onto Carrot Top’s fridge.
“Well I need to go out and buy milk. Since i’m going out anyway you might as well come in and eat everything else like you always do. I’ll go out and restock,” said Carrot Top. Knowing that when she gets back it will be completely empty when she gets back.
Derpy walked in. Then her wings flapped as she zipped over to the fridge and opened it up. Within minutes, it was all gone. “*Burp*. Good thing Carrot Top went out to restock, if she didn't I would have felt bad about this. *Burp*”
Suddenly a shadow came over the house. “Dinky,” Derpy shouted as she looked out the window, “go home now!”
“Why, Momma?” Dinky wondered out loud to her mother.
“There’s a giant space ship outside.” Derpy shouted to the small, staring colt behind her.
