Feeling ever so delighted as she trotted down the street, Octavia was feeling confident in her new bow tie that matched her special sompony’s eyes. She was drifting in between focusing on her way to Vinyl’s new house and daydreaming about Vinyl that she didn’t notice that she was now 4 blocks past Vinyl’s house. She turned around to go back and find her marefriend’s new house when a light gray stallion bumped into her.
“Ah hello there, Sorry about that miss...” Said the stallion.
“You can call me Octavia.” Said Octavia in her own cheerful way.
“Ooh, Octavia, that is a beautiful name. I suspect that you play a string instrument?” Said the stallion inquisitively
“Why thank you mr...” Said Octavia still not knowing the stallions name.
“Oh, how rude of me. I’m called The Professor. Just the Professor, nothing more, nothing less.” Said the stallion
“Oh... ok Professor,” Octavia said thinking that he was crazy, “but as I was saying I do play a string instrument, the Cello to be exact. I also have just composed a new score for the Royal Canterlot Symphony.”
“That is fabulous Octavia,” said the Professor enjoying himself, “but may I ask you a question?”
“Well, yes, but please be quick about it. I have to go meet a friend.” said Octavia feeling ever so slightly annoyed.
“Ah well then. Have you seen anything mysterious lately. Like unusual colored clouds? Or mice the size of a full grown stallion? or even a lake that looks like it is made out of pure gold?”
Thinking that this stallion had lost it Octavia humoured him, “Why yes I believe I saw a bright purple---”
“Look out!” The Professor yelled pulling Octavia to the ground.
Just as Octavia was being pulled to the ground a bright yellow beam zipped above them. As the beam hit a building behind them it sparked over the ground burning little holes were they fell.
“Do you have somewhere safe we can go?” said the Professor
Octavia replied, “Yes, it is just down the street.”
Getting up quickly the Professor followed Octavia as she led him in a full sprint down to Vinyl’s house. Not knowing what shot at her or if it was following her.
Bursting in through the front door out of breath was Octavia and the Professor. Vinyl Scratch looked puzzled as she stared at the new light gray Pegasus that is now in her living room sweating his mane off.
“Did you bring an extra person so we could have a three way?” Said Vinyl Scratch looking at Octavia.
Octavia quickly replied, “No. Vinyl I would have asked or at told you if i was going to do that. Anyway me and The Professor here were just shot at by Celestia know what.”
The Professor said grimly, “Actually is was an old nemesis of mine. A Saluboran. They are savage creatures that have only lived by fighting with and against each other since the dawn of time itself. She followed me here from across the galaxy to exact revenge for what I did to her and her planet a hundred years ago. I just had no idea that she would hold a grudge for such a long time”
Looking puzzled Vinyl and Octavia both said, “What?”, in unison.
“Oh yes, Since we are now going to have to work together since I just saved this beautiful mare here---” said the Professor pointing at Octavia before he was suddenly cut off.
“Hey buddy don’t get any ideas, this beautiful, talented, and clever mare here is mine and nopony elses. If you want her you going to have to go through me!” Yelled Vinyl at the stallion.
Quickly recovering the Professor said, “No I meant she is pretty, nothing more. Besides me and her just met so how would...? Ah forget it. Anyway what I was going to say was that there are some thing you must know about me. Like that I am a 700 year old alien from the planet Gallopfrey, I am the last of a race of aliens called the Time Lords. I am the only one left outside of the time lock that holds in the Last Great Time War because, well, I am the one who set it. I have two hearts, I live in a telephone booth called the Tardis. It is a time machine and a spaceship. I have a trans-temporal screwdriver that is pretty awesome but have seemed to have left in my Tard--”
Octavia cut him off right then, “And you expect us to believe this why?”
The Professor said, “Because you have no choice. A crazed Saluboran has just tried to kill you and me. So now you have to trust me because if we don’t end this alien’s rampage it will wipe out all of Ponyville and then some. It is my fault that she is chasing you and I must fix this problem. OK? I will do everything in my power to save you and make sure nothing happens to you. I promise that you will be safe. Both of you will be safe so can live the rest of your lives together. OK? I never break a promise no matter how big or small it is. Now do both of you trust me or not!”
Octavia and Vinyl looked deep into each other’s eyes silently having a conversation that required no words, but just emotions being shown in their eyes.
The kissed each other and Vinyl said, “We trust you with our lives Professor. Just please don’t let us down.” The last part nearly brought the DJ to tears so she put on her special enchanted purple glasses.
The Professor said, “I promise I will never let you lot down.” and with that the crazy old Professor stepped outside into the soon to be chaotic town of Ponyville with two beautiful mares following closely behind him getting ready for the soon to be battle over the grudge held for a hundred years.
