The Doctor Changeling

     As soon as Ditzy left he began his quest to find her. He thought about where she could be, 'Maybe Town Hall? No.. Sweet Apple Acres..?' There was a variety of places Ditzy could be, just one problem: He didn't know much at all so The Doctor began to run out of ideas pretty quick, but he wasn't going to give up that quick for Ditzy, he'd do just about anything for her... He thought of only a minimum of places she could be. While on his walk he had this whole fight in his mind about where Ditzy was. 'No, Sugarcube corner! Come on, follow your instinct!' Then his other mind went on too. 'No.. Why would she be there during this time?' He sighed, then just randomly went to the first out of how-many-he-thought-of places.

    First stop: Sugarcube Corner. The Doctor looked around only to find the sweet shop silent and empty. It was hard to look at the inside since it was still dark out. "Nothing.." The Doctor said walking past the shop. "Now for.. uh.. that place.. err... Well whatever comes up next I suppose.." He stopped by a School House and sat on the nearest bench, "Why would she be anywhere around here?" He said to himself looking upwards towards the sky, "Its probably no use though.. But for now I must find her.." He got off the bench and resumed his search once more. Second stop: A Bookstore....

    Ditzy flew into a nearby cloud next to the Town Hall and rested. She curled herself up and began to slowly stop crying. "It was a bad idea to even talk to The Doctor at a time like that..." Ditzy said taking a piece of the cloud to play with. "But he needed my help I couldn't just leave him needing my help. I mean... I did the right thing! Right?" She sighed. "No, I didn't." Ditzy gingerly touched her cheek, it had still stung. She stared off to the distance, it was still dark outside so she could see the stars, though it was silent, not one single noise was heard from the sleeping town. She rolled over on her back and bounced the piece of cloud in the air with her hooves until it was completely evaporated into the air. She was about to take apart a new piece but she heard hoof steps walking towards the Town Hall. She peered over the cloud she laid on. Closer, and closer the hoof steps came.

    Ditzy got a view of who it was.. The Doctor. She ducked back into the cloud, scared to see him. "Somewhere.. Ditzy has to be here somewhere." The Doctor said to himself, he sounded really tired. She peered over at him, he had taken a break and sat on the ground next to the pond and stared into it, he let out a sigh. "Quit telling yourself that lad. I need to stop lying to myself.." She heard him say to himself. "Look at yourself.... The pity I feel, what has gotten into me?" He put his head in his hooves and Ditzy heard him let out a cry. Ditzy lowered her head back into the cloud, she felt bad for The Doctor. She knows he didn't mean anything he said, Ditzy looked back towards The Doctor. She sighed and flew down from her cloud that she was in.

     She was a few feet behind him, but he didn't know. She knew what had to be done.. But on the inside she just wanted to hug him forever and never let go. She walked towards The Doctor, one hoof at a time. Once she was close enough, she placed a hoof on his shoulder. He stopped crying and looked up, to see Ditzy trying her best to smile at him warmly neglecting the pain that arose from her red cheeks. The second The Doctor saw her he immediately hugged her. She was in complete shock not really expecting it, until her mind was comprehending what was happening. She hugged back, Ditzy had promised she wouldn't cry but, they both ended up in tears.

     The Doctor was the first to speak, "D-Ditzy I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you in any way. I just.." He sighed and released from the hug and put his head down. "Gone out of control?" Ditzy said trying to help finish his sentence. He looked up at her and tried to smile only to see the scratch on her cheek. "Did.. I do that?" He said sitting up correctly. She covered her cheek and spoke "Uh, yea.. But it's fine trust me." She said as she pulled off a convincing smile. "Can I see it?" He asked her trying to get a look at it before she covered it more along with her response, "I told you, it's fine, it's just a little scratch that's all, nothing to be worrying about." She said. ".....I must've been a real jerk.." The Doctor said to her as he turned his head to the pond. Ditzy smiled and nudged him "Not that much.. You just got a bit of anger." The Doctor sighed. "Is it just me or is it cold out here?" The Doctor asked, "Agreed!" Ditzy said along with a smile.

     Then there was silence between the two ponies... The sun began to rise slowly, as Ditzy yawned. "Are you tired?" The Doctor said just as tired. "A little, well actually a lot." She said with a little laugh afterwards. "Lets go back to the T.A.R.D.I.S. to get some sleep." The Doctor said getting up as well as Ditzy, "That might've been a good idea 30 minutes ago." Ditzy said, He smiled at her, it was nice to have her back.. Now he only has to worry about one thing while he is around Ditzy: Don't. Turn. Evil.
