Hours after the other ponies left Timeturner and Dark spoke quietly about the house and work arrangement. Unbeknownst to them trouble is about to stir up in ponyville. A metalic pony moved about in the Everfree forest making a loud thump and mechanical noises.

"Well Doc what do you think?" Dark said changing the subject of work and house stuff to something new.

"Think about what?" Time asked shuffling through the papers in front of him.

"How long will it be peaceful here now that, ya know." Dark's question threw the Time's mind through a loop as he thought about it. His face scrunched a bit thinking then came to a conclusion.

"I honestly have no idea how long but I do know I will protect them." Dark nodded his head in response to Time's determination. "Now what about this one?" Hoofs over a picture of a house to Dark. Dark inspected the picture closely looking for anything out of the ordinary. "Hey Doc? I think we have a problem." Dark placed the picture down and slid it back over. "Look at the house window." Time looks at the window to see a metalic color in the window.

"No it's probably just a lamp or a piece of jewelry." Time said with reassurance. Dark didn't believe him but decided to go along with it.

"Alright Doc your call but, I think we are playin with fire as it is." Time looked at him confused and then went back to finding a house.

"Here look at this" hoofs over another picture. Dark looks it over and sees a dentist office in the background. Dark thinks about the last trip to the dentist.

"Perfect Doc." Dark gives the picture back and sighs. Time gives Dark a questioning look then signs the occupation papers. Slides them over to me with a quill and ink. "Your turn." Dark signs on the dotted line in fancy cursive. Dark slides the documents back to Time.


The new house is roomy and comfortable which Dark likes. "Well I like it already." Time looks at Dark funny before speaking.

"Not as good as the TaRDiS but it will do." Dark looked at him weird for a moment before he spoke.

"Speaking of why aren't we living in the TaRDiS? I mean..." Time cut him off by speaking.

"The TaRDiS is too damaged and she's at low power. Plus it would be unfair to you if I made you stay there while I'm fixing her." Dark thought about it and nodded in agreement. Time walked to the bed room and closed the door behind him.

With that Dark got on the couch and laid down and fell asleep.


Dark awoke with a groan and looked at the clock which read 8:45 A.M. Dark raises from the couch grabs his bag of things and flutters to the bathroom. Dark takes out his toothbrush and begins brushing his teeth after he puts some tooth paste on it. As he is brushing he looks at the toothpaste tube and it reads "Colgate total." Dark smiled laughing on the inside. After brushing for about five minutes he spits. Dark smiles in the mirror and his teeth seemed to shimmer in the light. "Now that is clean." He rinsed his tooth brush out and placed his things back into the bag and placed it in the cabinet. "Now to the dentist office." Dark said as he fluttered over to the door and opened it. "I should leave Doc a note." He said as he scribbled out a note for him. Dark left in the direction of the dentist office.


Time woke up and looked at the small alarm clock on the bed side table. It read 9:15 A.M. Time made his way into the living room and found the note and read it out loud.

"Doc,

I am heading to the dentist office to see if my teeth are okay because my jaw did slam agenst the floor when the TaRDiS crashed I'll try to be back in a few hours. Maybe around 1:00 P.M. Till then be careful Doc.

Your fellow traveler,

DarkDash (AKA Shadow)

Time thought to himself about what to do next. " Well may as well try to fix up the TaRDiS. The sooner the better." Time wrote a small not on the back with the quill and ink Dark left out. Time after writing it he headed to the TaRDiS's location in the Everfree forest closing and locking the door behind him.
