The Legend of Time Turner
A New Life
Previous ChapterThe Doctor had now been in Ponyville for a month. Twilight had taught him how to talk and her friends had gathered to help him learn how to act. He was most like a combination of a yellow pony he liked named Fluttershy and a dependable sensible pony he had met named Applejack. He helped ponies when he got the chance and he was very kind and a little shy. He was walking through town to apply for a permanent job. He had gotten several temporary jobs in the last month, all involving time management. He had been a clockmaker, a watchmaker, and other time-related jobs. He was going to try to get a permanent job as a 'time turner' for the mayor. A time turner was the one who flipped the hourglasses at special events. Twilight had told him that ponies who worked for the mayor got paid a lot more than other ponies. Pinkie Pie had loved the fact that he was a time traveler and told them about the job. Since he could go back and forth through time, they had agreed he would take on the name of the job as his name for use in Ponyville instead of just using 'the Doctor'. So the Doctor was dead, replaced by Time Turner. He walked by a pony he remembered being called Carrot Top. "Hello. Lovely morning isn't it?" She looked at him in a scared way and mumbled under her breath and walked away. "Not very talkative eh?" Time Turner walked on, going to the Town Hall. He went inside and asked to see the mayor. "Go right in." said the mare at the desk. Time Turner went in and turned in his application. He had taken Applejacks advice and omitted the parts about being a time-travelling dimension-switching alien. His application was accepted and his first job would be in five days on the Summer Sun Celebration. He had learned all of the holidays the ponies celebrated, how to talk, and he had noticed that most things were just puns. He walked out of the mayors office confident that he would be good at this job. His sonic screwdriver had helped him with all his other jobs, but he wanted to do this one himself. Twilight's friend Rarity had been especially interested in his sonic screwdriver. He now held it in his hoof and pointed it at the door to Sugarcube Corner. He walked in and was greeted by Mr. Cake. "Hi there Doctor!Oops, I forgot you go by Time Turner now! I guess i'm gonna have to be reminded every day!" "Quite alright, my friends can call me Doctor, but in public they need to call me Time Turner." "Okey dokey!" Time Turner went up to the counter and heard a crash and a giggle from Pinkie Pie. "Howdy Doctor! Come in here a minute I wanna try something!" So the Doctor walked in the kitchen and was surprised when a blue cupcake was shoved in his mouth. He chewed it and swallowed. It was delicious! "Pinkie! you have outdone yourself this time! What did you put in this?" "Well...." Pinkie was known for breaking into song at odd times and the Doctor knew now was one of those times. "Just take a couple sticks of butter,add'em to the mix!Take a little something sweet,not sour,add some salt just a pinch! Add some 'this' and some of 'that' plus a bit of good vanilla! Add a little more and ya count to four and you'll never get your fill of cupcakes! So sweet and tasty cupcakes! Cupcakes cupcakes cupcakes!!!" The doctor bought two more blue cupcakes like the one she had given him and left. He munched on one while the other was in his saddlebag. He noticed Rainbow Dash, a cyan pegasus pony who loved speed and racing had been missing for a while. He figured she was just off on some weather expedition. He was glad to be here in Ponyville. He made his way to Sweet Apple Acres. He had promised Applejack he would watch Apple Bloom and her friends while Appleack was off to Appeloosa to take a batch of zapapples to her cousin Braeburn. Time Turner was lucky enough to have gotten a taste of the zapapple jam that Granny Smith made before they sold most of their zapapple jam to the richest pony in Ponyville. Time Turner thought the richest pony was Princess Celestia, but he learned quickly that she lived in Canterlot and that Ponyville was a seperate town entirely. The richest pony in Ponyville was Filthy Rich. He finally got to Sweet Apple Acres, but nopony was around. "Hello?Apple Bloom? Sweetie Bell? Scootaloo? It's the Doctor! Are you here?" The girls had walked in while he and Applejack had been talking and she had called him the Doctor and mentioned the TARDIS. Afterwards he had to explain all of it again to the three little fillies. Suddenly he heard flapping and looked around in the air and at the ceiling. He knew that Scootaloo was trying to fly or possibly succeeding at her task."Scootaloo?Are you flying?I would love to see you try successfully!Where are you?" He heard a scream and ran towards it as fast as he could. When he got to the source of the scream, he stood in awe. Scootaloo was flying at least 12 feet in the air and was holding up Sweetie Bell."Hey Doc.Sorry about the scream. I accidentally dropped Apple Bloom." "Well be a bit more careful next time okay?" "Okay." Time Turner was telling them stories about the Daleks when Applejack got back the next day. She didn't like him telling them about robots controlled by things inside them with 6 arms and beaks,but he had already started and he had proof that they were real (he used the sonic screwdriver to show them) and he had just finished telling them when she got back.She heard him finish his story then she grabbed him by the tail and pulled him into the barn and made sure the girls didn't follow. She didn't want them to hear this. "Doctor, I got some mighty bad news fer ya. I just saw yer TARDIS flyin' round and I noticed it was working funny. You said it was only s'posed to appear in a place on the ground right?" "That would be correct.Why? How was it acting funny? It would have to fly to get around the universe and gather data at the same time." "Well, the door was open and there was some kinda greyish thing with wings looking out.".The Doctor knew what it was and he passed out in fear.All he could think was How could they have followed me here? Of all places? When he woke up he was in Twilight's tree being watched by Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Spike (Twilights assistant/pet dragon for those that don't know). "Well dear, you have been out for quite some time! I was beginning to think that you were never going to wake up." said Rarity. "Oh....how long was I out?Wa-was th-th-there t-t-t-time to p-pre-prepare f-for th-the-them?" "Rest up pal, you were out for about three days and you're apperently terrified of whoever we're supposed to be prepared for cuz you're stuttering." "Excuse me Doctor," said Twilight, "but who found you?" The Doctor took a long look at her with fear in his eyes and said "The Weeping Angels.''.
