The Doctor walked into the pony filled village in utter confusion and amazement. It was the first time, in a long time, maybe in all the Doctor's nine hundred odd years that he actually felt shocked and confused, he wasn't meant to be a pony. It was unnatural to be a colourful talking pony.

"Or is it?" The Doctor asked himself. "There seem to be ponies all over the place and from the sight of it, aren't out of place like myself. Or maybe they are, I should talk to some one. Or something." He added, then began to walk through the town looking for an intelligent looking pony, he saw one eventually, a brown pony with pinkish hair and a strange monocle, he had a weird tattoo that looked like a rubber duck or some odd creature. The Doctor walked up to the figure.

"Excuse me kind sir, I am a traveller John Smith is the name, I am a bit lost, could you happen to tell me where I am?"  The Doctor asked.

"I certainly can, might I add you have a strange name Mr Smith. But I am sure you have your reasons, you are in the town of Ponyville. Welcome traveller!" The pony replied, he had an accent sounding almost Irish. But more American. The Doctor nodded his thanks and walked away from the pony. The Doctor smiled and nodded. The pony then walked away and looked around the area which seemed to be some sort of a market place.

"Right, need a temporary assistant so I can figure out what is going on and how to stop it. This universe isn't my own but i am here now so better make the most of it I guess." The Doctor muttered to himself, suddenly a grey coloured pony appeared from the sky above The Doctor, it appeared to have long eye lashes so The Doctor presumed it to be female and the pony had feathers coming out of its body forming wings, as well as the bright blonde hair she had for tail and mane.

"Hey mister, are you talking to yourself?" The winged pony, or 'Pegasus' asked.

"Er, yes. I guess I am." The Doctor replied. Smiling awkwardly. The now made pony also noticed the females eyes were, were a bit odd. They weren't looking in the same direction as each other and the left eye was wondering its gaze randomly.

"That's weird. My name is Ditzy or Derpy Hooves. Who are you?" The female introduced herself. The Doctor nodded in approval and smiled.

"I am The Doctor." He replied proudly.

"Doctor who?" Derpy asked, The Doctor gave a short laugh and jumped slightly.

"Just that, the Doctor." He said. Still smiling. Derpy just nodded and smiled back.

"Okay, so your a doctor? Does that mean you help ponies?" Derpy asked.

"Well not in the way you would think. But I do help people." The Doctor replied.

"People?" Derpy asked, confused over the term.

"Ah yes. I am not from around here.-" The Doctor stopped himself, unsure whether to tell this, Pegasus pony his story. Then decided it was probably best, maybe she might even be his companion. "-I am not even from this universe actually." The Doctor paused then waiting for the grey female to replied, her face went 'derpy' as she thought on that matter.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I am actually meant to look humanoid, not equine. This isn't my usually home, my space ship malfunctioned and I must have crashed through the Void and ended up here." The Doctor explained. Another silence and weird thinking face.

"You have a space ship?" Derpy asked. "Does that mean you are an alien?" She added, apparently that was all she had taken from his explanation so he nodded slowly, just agreeing.

"Oh sweet Celestia! Can I see?" Derpy asked.  The Doctor laughed and smiled, then winked and began to walk back toward the TARDIS. Derpy followed.

"So tell me Doctor. Have you ever treated another alien with you doctor powers or is it just ponies you will treat?" Derpy asked.

"I told you, I am not that kind of Doctor, I come from a universe- from a world where humanoids and two legged beings rule and ponies don't talk. This isn't where I am meant to be. But until I find out who or what brought me here and why I guess I have to stay, so Mrs Hooves, how would you like to be my companion?" The Doctor replied. Derpy's face lite up.

"I would love to Doctor, can we fly in your space ship to other planets?" Derpy asked, excited. Her eyes looking randomly incredibly fast.

"And another thing. It doesn't only travel through space." The Doctor said smiling again.

"It can travel through universes, yeah Doctor I figured that out." Derpy replied.

"No that was a mistake, it can go through time as well."

"Now you are a time traveler. So your what, some sort of Time Lord?" Derpy asked and The Doctor burst out laughing.

"Yes Derpy, I am a Time Lord, the last of my race." He replied.

"Why is that?" Derpy asked, The Doctor's face darkened.

"A long, terrible war miss Hooves. A long war." He muttered, Derpy looked to The Doctor and sunk her head down, dropping her outstretched wings as well. The Doctor and Derpy then continued the walk down the dirt pathway toward where the TARDIS was lying in silence, when they did arrive the Doctor looked at the double blue doors in confusion. He hasn't got his keys on him, they were in his jacket pocket and all the pony wore was a red tie.

"Oops." The Doctor muttered.

"What?" Derpy asked.

"I left my keys in my pocket. I can't get in without them." He said. Derpy laughed.

"Well put your hoof in your pocket then and grab them." She giggled. The Doctor was now confused, he was a pony, they didn't have pockets.

"But Derpy I don't have any pockets." He replied, Derpy laughed even harder, wiping a tear away before continuing.

"Of course you do silly, everypony does." Derpy said, putting a hood to her right side somehow pulling a pocket of skin away showing The Doctor the pocket. It was now his turn to laugh.

"Did you just say. Everypony?" He giggled and stuttered. Derpy nodded and The Doctor burst out in laughter. This continued for a while before The Doctor remembered his pocket problem and put a hoof to his side, after wobbling off balance for a second. He put his hoof down the hole and felt his keys, and sonic screwdriver. He tried to slide the keys up the pocket side, until he got them out, they fell onto the grass with a noise. He stared down at them.

"Well, pick them up." Derpy said, hopeful and confused. The Doctor looked to his keys, then to Derpy, then back to the grass.

"How?" He asked.

"Like this silly." Derpy reached down and grabbed the keys with her hoof. The Doctor was generally bewildered.

"Okay. How did you do that?" The Doctor asked.

"You really aren't from around here are you?" Derpy asked, The Doctor shock his head. Derpy put the keys in her mouth then muttered something, removed the keys then said.

"Lets go to your space ship then." Before putting the keys back in her mouth.

"This is it Miss Hooves. The TARDIS." THe Doctor said, pointing with a hoof at the blue box. Derpy dropped the keys to the ground.

"Is that it?" She asked, disappointed.

"Wait til you see inside." The Doctor replied, happy as normal.

"Fine, just open the door." Derpy ordered quietly and tosed the keys, The Doctor grabbed them with his mouth and unlocked the door, he stepped in. Derpy soon followed.

She was obviously taken aback by the sight before her and just stared wde eyed at the giant control room of the TARDIS. She stepped outside then back inside, continuing for a few moments before breathing in a deep breathe.

"Go on, say it." The Doctor said, smiling and trotting around the metal flooring.

"Must take a while to paint." Derpy said and gave a cute smile. The Doctor laughed.

"Always a first." He said then a computer screen began to bleep in panic.
