It was 7:24pm in Ponyville. Ponyville was suffering a massive heat wave, and lucky for the town, the Pegasus Weather Team (PWT) forgot to make it rain yesterday. Ponyville will be scheduled to rain tomorrow in 7th of July.

Along Trot Street, three young fillies were making their way back home. One was a Unicorn, the second was a Earth pony, and lastly the third was a Pegasus. They seem bruised and sad as they walked near SugarCube Corner.

"Well that sucked!" Exclaimed Scootaloo.

"I guess Parkour isn't our talent." Said Sweetie Belle.

"Don't worry gals I'm sure will get our Cutie Marks at somethin'!" Said Applebloom.

The sun was setting, everypony was heading home. The Cutie Mark Crusaders realize the sunset.

"Oh, I better go. Rarity will kill me if I come home late, again." Said Sweetie Belle.

"Me too, Applejack wood' get worried if ah came home late," Applebloom said. " Well, see ya tomorrow gals!"

"Bye Applebloom and Scoots!" Said Sweetie Belle as she walked away towards Bits Avenue.

"Oh, um. . . Yeah, see you girls later!" Scootaloo said.

Sweetie Belle and Applebloom walked away leaving Scootaloo alone under a streetlight, Scootaloo wished she could go with them, but she knew too well she couldn't.

I better leave before ponies start to notice I'm alone Scootaloo thought.

Right when she was about ride, she smelled something. It was coming from SugarCube Corner, and it was only 2 houses away.

Scootaloo was hungry, she hadn't eaten all day, 2 days in fact! She did have a few stomach aches here and there, but she was used to pain. That was her friend, her guide, her life, and all she knew was pain. Ever since she was born she knew pain. That was all she had to remember her parents.

Scootaloo raced towards the bakery, and hid in a bush. No pony was present, nows her chance. She hid under one of the tables near the door, and looked for that amazing scent.

Cupcakes Scootaloo confirmed.

She found the red box that must held at least a dozen cupcakes. She knew stealing was wrong but this is weather she gets to eat tonight, or suffer pain. All Scootaloo wants is to have a week with no stomach aches. She was thankful she hadn't gotten any deadly sickness after all these years in the streets.

As she reached for the box, she heard a familiar voice.

"Don't worry Mr & Mrs. Cake! I be back with those diapers in a jiffy!" Said Pinkie Pie.

Scootaloo quickly grab the box with her mouth, raced to the window, threw the box, and ran out the door as quick as she could!

"Huh, what was that?" Pinkie said.

She looked around to see if she could find where that *thud* came from. She then realize her dozen cupcakes were missing.

"Huh, again? That's the 23th time this month!" She exclaimed.

She trotted outside and looked around. Nothing. She concluded it must a have been a stray cat landing or something. She then walked away towards the nearest baby store.

"That was a close one!" Scootaloo whispered to herself.

She then placed the red box on her scooter and went back to Sweet Apple Acres. It's was 7:42pm, and the stars were beginning to show. Scootaloo wasn't much of a stargazer, but she did love how the stars looked. Princess Luna was her favorite princess after all. Thanks to her, she learned to face her fears and now Rainbow Dash is her metaphorical sister!

She stopped looking at the stars when the sky was covered in trees. She arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, the hills were covered in trees themselves! Scootaloo took the path that the Flim & Flam brothers used to get to Sweet Apple Acres. She arrived at the gate where the Apple Family was challenged to a Cider Competition. She then put the red box filled with cupcakes on her back.

She saw the farm ahead of her, she was careful not to be seen. The light on Applebloom's window just turned off. She must have fallen asleep. Scootaloo went to the forest of apples trees in front of the farm and disappeared.

She arrived at the Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse, Scootaloo looked around to see if no pony followed her. She confirmed no pony was around, she went inside and closed the door. Scootaloo set aside the baked goods and pulled on a floor planked that Applebloom forgot to nail down when she was fixing the old clubhouse. Inside was a blanket, a pillow, and her Cutie Mark Crusaders Cape (trademark). She set her pillow and blanket, and opened the red box.

12 cupcakes! That was enough for Scootaloo to have a stomach ache free week, maybe for 2 if she found more food! She ate one of the cupcakes and was taken by the deliciousness of the cupcake. Her taste buds rocked, and jumped, and exploded. The taste was amazing! She decided to save some for tomorrow, and then laid down.

She was closing her eyes, almost asleep. Her eye lids getting heavier by the second, then she was finally asleep.

boom

She woke up with a pillow on her head.

what was that Scootaloo thought.

At first she thought it a Sonic Rainboom, but it was to quiet. There was also no earthquake, or bright lights. Scootaloo looked outside. No rainbows? This was odd, that "boom" was so distant, what caused it? Well both you and Scootaloo don't know. But just when Scootaloo turned around, she saw a bright long comet rocking over the clubhouse all the way near the Everfree Forest!

"Whoa! What was that?!" Said Scootaloo. "it landed near Everfree forest!"

Just then Scootaloo came up with the most ridiculous idea ever.

"Cutie Mark Crusader Shooting Star investigator is: Go!" She said.

She quickly grab her helmet and scooter, and placed her blanket, pillow, and box back inside the hole on the floor. She then raced away towards the object and cloud of smoke, not knowing what will happen.

                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scootaloo was all to familiar with the Everfree Forest, after all she almost turned to stone there along with her friends. She thought there's was no other danger besides the Cockatrice. Scootaloo wasn't scared of the stories that ponies tell about the forest. She was just the like animals, she took care of herself. As for the clouds, she concluded that since clouds were so light, the wind must be pushing them or something.

She arrived at the Everfree Forest near Fluttershy's house, but far enough to not be seen. The town was right behind Scootaloo, there was a road also leading toward the town. She wonder why Fluttershy want awakened by the crash landing. Scootaloo concluded that she must have been a heavy sleeper.

She walked along the path and also followed the trail of smoke that was in front of her blocking the view of the mountains. She was nervous but determined to find the meteorite.

I wonder what my Cutie Mark will be, thought Scootaloo. Maybe a comet! Or a shooting star! Or a magnifying glass with a shooting star!

"Whoa-ow!" Exclaimed Scootaloo.

She landed in what appears to be a ditch. It was warm, black, and was surrounded by fire. Scootaloo got up and looked around, the trail of smoke was in front of her. She began walking towards it and was cautious of what might happen. She couldn't hear the animals, she thought they must have ran off.

As she approached the object she questioned weather she should go back. The smoke was clearing and the object was also becoming clearer.

"It's-it's-it's-i- it's a box," Scootaloo said. "A blue. Box."

She decided to looked around, she saw a sign on the side and was able to read it.

"Police. Public. Call. Box?" She said. "Seriously, I came all this way for a 'Police' box?!"

Annoyed, Scootaloo buck the blue box with all her might.

"Stupid box," Said Scootaloo "huh?"

There was a handle on top of the box. Curious, Scootaloo climb on top, (the Box was on a slope) and pulled the handle with her mouth since the handle was too small for her hooves.

Locked Scootaloo confirmed.

"Great, now what?!" Exclaimed Scootaloo. "Maybe I should wait. All good things come to those who wait."

Scootaloo then sat near the "Police box" on the warm soil, waiting to see if she as right.

                                                                                         *2 hours later*

"Ugh, this is stupid! Why am I even here! It's not like anypony is waiting for me, but dang it I should be asleep!" Scootaloo yelled.

Outraged, she kicked the "Police Box" then kick the dirt, and started to walk away. As she was, she heard a door open. Scootaloo turned around and was blasted by a wave of smoke. It almost felt like a giant fist hitting her in the face!

"*Cough* *cough* *cough*, Ugh, what the hay? Who did that!?" Scootaloo yelled.

The smoke was clearing and she was beginning to see pony shaped . . . Thing?

"Ahhhh! Are you an alien! Please don't eat me! I tasted really, really bad!" Scootaloo said nervously.

The pony said something, but Scootaloo couldn't hear it quite well.

"W-w-what?" She asked.

"cactus. . ." It said.

"What?" Said Scootaloo.

"Do. . . You . . . Have. . . Any . . . Cactus?" It asked in a clearer voice.

It sounded young, male, and had a British accent. It's voice was low, like a 4/10 low. He's coat was brown, and he's mane was darker brown. He was also sweating. He was quite handsome, he looked 16 by human to pony standards.

"Cactus?" Scootaloo asked.

"Yea, I'm starving! I haven't eaten since. . . 3 hours ago!" He said.

"N-no, I don't have any cactus on me." Scootaloo said nervously.

"Oh. . . Oi, I have to ask you something!" He said.

"W-w-what?" Scootaloo

"Am I ginger?"

"N-no."

"Blast!"

"U-u-u-uh, a-are you g-gonna e-e-eat me?" Scootaloo asked nervously.

"What? No, why?" He asked.

"Oh, g-good! My name is Scootaloo." Scootaloo said.

"Hello there Scootaloo!" He said.

"Who. Are. You?" Scootaloo asked.

"Me?" He said with a grin. "I'm the Doctor!"

"Doctor Who?" Scootaloo asked.

"Just, The Doctor!" He said
