Previous Chapter

The day was filled with light and beauty, Celestia's sun was shining over Equestria with grace. Ponies ran and played under the warmth of the sun. Equestria seem to be in an eternal peace, it was beautiful. The moon and the sun seem to be one, and the stars were their guidance. The flowers were blooming, and the birds were chirping. The bees made their honey, and the plants gave oxygen. The park was especially nice when it was near the fall. On one road was a very old and childish pony, he could see how everything worked. His eyes could blind and cleanse the most evilest creatures. His very memories could burn a hole in the universe. His name haunted the most bravest men, and gave light to the most hopeless. He needed no strength to defeat an army, no power to rise against a god! His suffering alone keeps the universe in check, and his tears give life to others. He has given up his happiness for others, and traded his mortality for others. He has destroyed universes and dimensions all in the name of peace and harmony. He's the reason why time and space are one, he's the reason why his people are gone. He has lost so much so others can't. He has seen things that could cause the most sane man to become insane. He has been to the void and back, he has been to the end and beginning of time. He is the most saddest and loneliest conscious being in the universe, and has endured the most painful torture any conscious being can feel.

And this pony was walking along the park with an orange filly named Scootaloo.

"TWO MONTHS! Why didn't you tell me I was gone for TWO months?!??!" Asked The Doctor very gently.

"Well it wasn't important at the time, I mean Blood Ponies and all." Said Scootaloo in a very loud tone.

"Ugh! No wonder when we arrived back in Ponyville it was morning!"

"Relax Doc, besides at least you traveled at the right time otherwise the Bloods Ponies would have taken over Canterlot!"

"Yes I know Scootaloo, but if I hadn't been informed earlier I would have been all over time and I wouldn't be able to control the TARDIS's time travel mechanics! I could have died! Or worse! Then again, it was convenient that I arrived when you were taken. Seems strange. . ." Pondered The Doctor

"Well it doesn't matter now, Doc. Look, I introduce you to most of the ponies around here that I know! Besides, you need to relax a little." Said Scootaloo.

"*sigh*. Fine, who should I meet first?" Asked The Doctor.

"Weeeelll."

"What's your name! What's your favorite color! Oh ooooh, how old are you? What's with the hair! And and and-"

"-PLEASE! Pinkie pie, one at a time. I'm The Doctor, my favorite color is blue, I'm one thou-sixteen! And hey, my hair's perfect!" The Doctor said.

"We should have a party to welcome you into Ponyville Docy! Can I call you Docy?" Asked Pinkie pie.

"Well I-"

"Well okay Docy, it's time to PARTAY!" Cheered Pinkie pie.

The Doctor couldn't believe how fast this pink pony could talk. She had poofy pink hair, pink coat, blue eyes, and 3 balloons as a Cutie Mark. Scootaloo and him both walked into Sugarcube corner and were both blasted with confetti. The culprit was a pink bouncy pony who called herself Pinkie pie. He was then played to a musical number of her introducing him to Ponyville.

The Doctor couldn't complain, it has been a while since he has ever relax. To him, it was like heaven.

"AND, another one for you scoots! Happy Birthday!" Cheered Pinkie pie.

"Huh? Birthday? Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday Scootaloo?" Asked The Doctor.

"Oh well, I forgot when we were in trouble. I guess almost being killed made me forget, heheh." Scootaloo said.

"Well I guess I need to get you a present, and I think I know what to get you!" He said.

"Oh, really! What?"

"Sorry Scootaloo, not after the party please!"

"ARIGHT LETS GET THIS THANG STARTED!"

______________________

The party kicked of with a bang, literally. Pinkie's party cannon set up Sugarcube Corner in just 18 seconds! Ponies were already arriving and saying happy birthday to Scootaloo. The Music wasn't that bad, he liked classical jazz. The Cakes were off on a vacation and trusted Pinkie pie with the place, even after poisoning half of Ponyville! Scootaloo didn't receive that many gifts, only a dozen or so.

The party stared at 4:00 pm, most of Ponyville had nothing to do. All of Scootaloo's friends were there, The Doctor got to meet some of them.

Scootaloo introduced some of the Ponies that came; there was Roseluck, Cheerlie, Applebloom, Button, Sunshine, then Spike. Scootaloo then introduce what she said 'were the most important ponies of Equestria'! Twilight Sparkle, Protege of Princess Celestia. Applejack, Applebloom's big sister. Rarity, who he already knew. Fluttershy, who was too shy to even say "hi".

When a Rainbow maned pony behind Fluttershy walked through the door, Scootaloo lost it.

"OhmygoshRainbowDashyoucametomypartythankyousomuchyoudontknowhowmuchthismeanstomeIcantwaintto-"

"-Whoa! Easy squirt, one at a time! Hey, who's this hot stuff over here?" Asked Rainbow Dash sexually.

"Huh, oh um. I-I'm The Doctor!" Said The Doctor while he was blushing.

Oh my god, Is she flirting with me!?! The Doctor thought.

"Doctor? That's it?"

"Uh, yes."

"Well hot stuff, I'm Rainbow Dash. Fastest flyer in all of Equestria! Perhaps you heard of me?" Rainbow Dash leaned a little bit closer.

"U-uh s-s-sorry, I-I'm n-new in town." The Doctor was blushing furiously.

''Hmm, well I hope to see you soon Doc, and Happy ninth birthday Scoots!"

"T-thanks Rainbow Dash!ยก!" Said Scootaloo.

Rainbow Dash walked away winking at The Doctor.

"Oh my gosh! She said Happy birthday! This is best day ever!!!" Cheered Scootaloo.

The Doctor was paralyzed and blushing bright red.

"Uh Doc, you okay? Somethin' wrong?" Asked Scootaloo.

"W-what? Oh, no! Um, Scootaloo, was Rainbow Dash. Flirting, with me?" Asked The Doctor.

"Hm? I don't know, why?"

"I feel very disturbed, I have never been flirted by a pony before." The Doctor said.

"Why?"

"Let's just say that there was a reason why I freaked out when I first met you."

The party was packed with so many ponies. There was drinks, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, soda, muffins, hay fries, hayburgers, sweets, lemonade, and chocolate! Ponies were dancing and shaking their hind quarters to the beat, Pinkie pie was bouncing all around. Scootaloo and her friends were also dancing. The Doctor was standing in the corner finding something to eat.

"So Scootaloo, who's this Doctor fella'?" Asked Applebloom.

"Oh um, just um-my-um, uncle. Heheh, he's visiting from Las Pegasus." Scootaloo said sheepishly.

"Why is he just looking at the food like he's nev'r seen it befor'?" Asked Applebloom again.

"Oh you know L.P and their fancy food and stuff!" Said Scootaloo.

The Doctor was looking at the food.

Lets see, I'm a equine so that means I'm a herbivore. What can I eat, do they have cactus? Hmm, hah! CACTUS! The Doctor thought.

He was holding bits of small cactus that smelled amazing. He took a moment to remember how hard it was to get this delectable food. He began munching the cactus, he could feel the juices in his mouth. The was still digging at the bowl of cactus. He couldn't stop, it was so good!

"Uhh Doc, I think you had enough." Said Scootaloo.

"*munch**munch* Whhta, du yu men?" The Doctor said with his mouth full.

"You just ate 5 bowls of cooked cactus, I think you had enough. . ."

"Phife? *glup* But I only had-Whoa! Um, yeah I think I had quite enough." The Doctor agreed.

All the cactus was gone, only bowls with leftovers that The Doctor missed. Someponies were looking in shock, even The Doctor was surprised.

The party was still going, the music didn't stop. At this point, everypony was dancing, all but The Doctor. He never got the chance to dance before. He most spend his time reading every type of book there was. He even tried a few lessons in close quarter combat, but those lessons no longer were helpful since he couldn't stand, or make a fist.

"Hey Doc, why are you all alone out here by yourself?" Asked Rainbow Dash out of nowhere.

"W-what! Oh, hi Miss Dash-"

"-you can just call me Dash or RD."

"O-oh okay, Sorry Dash. Anyway, I'm here because I don't know how to dance." The Doctor replied.

"Well mister tall and grumpy, lets get those hind quarters movin'!" Rainbow Dash proceeded to push The Doctor with her rump.

"A-a-actually Rainbow Dash I think it's best I just, stay there!" The shuddered, he was beginning to blush.

"Don't worry Doc, just follow what I do!"

Rainbow Dash was holding on to The Doctor hooves, he was following. They began pumping their hooves up in the air (I'm seriously so bad at dancing myself that I can't even type about it!). They circled each other, they were almost like two gears. The Doctor tried his best to keep up, to his surprise he was good at this! They started holding hooves and spinning. The Doctor was greeting the hang of this!

After a few dance moves, Rainbow Dash then pulled The Doctor closer to her face, they were nose to nose.

"Not bad Doc, you seem like a pretty cool guy!" Said Rainbow Dash.

"O-o-o-oh u-u-u-um, t-thanks. N-never really tried dancing!" The Doctor said nevously, at this point you would wonder why his head was red but not his body.

"Well see you 'round Doctor, mail me sometime!" She brushed her tail under The Doctor chin, and then walked to her friends.

"I can't believe already my mind is attracted to ponies, god I hate my subconscious!" He said under his breath.

Some of ponies already left the party, some were beginning to. At this point Scootaloo began opening her presents. The first was a new helmet.

"Aww yeah! Thanks Rainbow Dash, I totally need a new one!" Scootaloo said.

"Hehe, no problem Scoots!" Said Dash.

Scootaloo opened the next present out of 13.

"Cool a bag for my scooter! Thanks Rarity!"

"Your welcome Darling!" Said Rarity.

Scootaloo opened her next present

"Awesome a new pillow! Thanks Applebloom and Applejack!"

"No problem Scootaloo!" Said Applejack and Applebloom.

"Haha! A good luck charm! Thanks Twilight!" It was a small horseshoe with stars around it.

"Your Welcome Scootaloo, I casted a spell that will give you good luck in times of need! I'm sure you'll find it very useful!" Said Twilight Sparkle.

"What's next? Oo, it's a-a frame."

In her hooves was a small frame with golden edges (I'm bring it back!) .

"Who gave me this?" Asked Scootaloo.

"Hmm, it just shows some weird circles on who's its from. I don't know Scootaloo." Said Twilight.

"Hey Doc, did you give me this?" Asked Scootaloo.

"What? No, I haven't given you your birthday present. Why wha-" The Doctor looked at who's its from. It was his name, written in

gallifreyan.

"Oh Time, you mysterious mistress." The Doctor whispered to himself. "I guess who ever gave it to you didn't want you to know." Said The Doctor.

"That's weird. Were they too shy, maybe even shyer than Fluttershy?" Suggested Scootaloo.

"You never know Dear, or they wanted it as a surprise." Said Rarity.

"Or or or or, whoever it is must be the second surprise! Just like me!" Exclaimed Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie, no pony does second surprises like you." Said Twilight.

"Doesn't really matter squirt, there must be a reason why they gave it to you." Said Rainbow Dash.

"Yea', Dash is righ'. You shouldn't take a gift for granted." Said Applejack.

"Come on, there's still more presents to open!" Said Rainbow Dash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was 10:00pm, every pony was leaving the party. Some ponies even decided to help clean up!

The Doctor was waiting out side the door, he was waiting for everypony to leave. He was looking at the night sky, it was so different from his universe. He had time to get a grip of the situation he was in, it was new to him. He was able to observe at least half of the galaxy he was in, and he found something that would make an amazing present.

Everypony was leaving, they finished cleaning up Sugarcube Corner. The first that came out were random ponies. One was grey and blonde maned with cross eye eyes, she seemed familiar. Later came Twilight, Applejack, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Rarity, Fluttershy, and then Rainbow Dash.

"Remember hot stuff, mail me . . ." Rainbow Dash said to The Doctor as she rubbed her cheek next to his. The Doctor was paralyzed and blushing.

As Rainbow Dash left, giggling, Scootaloo came out the door.

"Hey Doc, you said you'd give me a present, but why now?" Asked Scootaloo.

"W-w-what? O-oh right," The Doctor snapped back into reality. "Sorry Scoots, any-who, yes. It is Time to give you your present. Just follow me!"

They began walking down Town Hall, the sky was their only light source. The street candles light up, the sky wasn't polluted however. Scootaloo had most of her presents on her scooter, she was just pushing it.

"So Doc, can I ask whats the present?" Asked Scootaloo.

"Not really, but I can give you a few hint here and there." The Doctor said.

"Like what?"

"Well, I'm more showing you the present than giving it to you." He said.

"Why do you mean?"

"Oh, you'll see." The Doctor said with a grin.

The were now passing the Ponyville Library, some of the candles were out. They continued walking down Ponyville, the trip seem to last forever. Most of the ponies form the party already made it back home and were now blowing out their candles. Some ponies were waving at Scootaloo and saying happy birthday, Scootaloo waved backed and said thanks.

"So Doc, can I asked you when is your birthday?" Asked Scootaloo.

"What? Oh yeah. Well Scoots, since your calendar is the same as my universe, and my people's calendar is different than theirs, my birthday is on the 19th of May. Thought I won't tell you what year, it's a secret!" He said.

"Ugh, I hate it when you keep secrets!" Said Scootaloo.

"So do I."

The TARDIS was parked in the Ponyville park, near the bridge were Spike transformed back into his young self. The Lilly pads were floating away, and the trees seem to sing along with the TARDIS. It was 10:12pm.

"So where ARE we going?" Asked Scootaloo.

"Not yet Scootaloo, it's a surprise!" The Doctor said.

He opened the TARDIS door, it's almost as if she said; welcome home Doctor! The TARDIS looked good as new, it's almost as if it never crashed in the first place! The control panel was cleaned and fixed, the floor was back to its golden color, the walls had it blue paint back, and the stairs were back to their silver color.

"Alright Scoots, you're gonna love this!" The Doctor said.

He began by pulling down a blue lever, brought down the monitor, pressed a few button on the keyboard, the monitor then showed the night sky, 2 yellow circles focused on a colorful small dot, The Doctor press a green button, flipped two black switches, pulled up a handle and twisted a small knob.

*Vwoorrp*

*Vwwwoooooorrrp*

*Vvwwwwwoooooorrrrrrpppp*

*Ding*

"Here we are! Your birthday present Scootaloo!" The Doctor announced.

They walked slowly the TARDIS doors, The Doctor grab the handle with his wrist. He winked at Scootaloo, then opened the doors. Scootaloo was hit by a bright light, her eyes adjusted. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't believe what she was facing! It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen!

It was a ginormous cloud with so many different colors, it was organized by layers of colors! It was so big, at least three times as big as the sun! There were a few rocks and dust floating around them, and what she saw next really amazed her. A small chunk of gold mixed with iron was floating passed them! She was breath taken!

In the center of all the beauty was a small bright blue ball. It light up everything they could see. The colorful clouds surrounded the bright blue ball, like children dancing around a toy. The Blue, bright ball seemed to be pulsating, and the colorful clouds also seemed to be moving away from it very slowly.

"W-w-what is this place!" Asked Scootaloo in awe.

"This, Scootaloo, is how stars and planets are formed. This is the very thing that formed your planet, well not this but in a similar way. This is a Stellar Nebula! All those clouds you see are all the different kinds of elements that make up you, me, your world, my world, and everything we can see and think! This is the Death, and Birth, of a star!" The Doctor said.

"Whoa! What's that blue thing?" Asked Scootaloo.

"That is a star in the end of its life. It's a beautiful thing and yet it's a very sad one. This star probably had planets and life." He said.

"Well what happened?" She asked.

"When a regular star begins to die, it shrinks then begins to grow very fast. It engulfs any planet near it, and destroys it. It cools down, all the elements that formed are blown into the darkness of space. Some don't go very fast and orbit the remains of the star: the core. Gold, hydrogen, oxygen, helium, iron, aluminum, all the things that make us are formed from a dying star. The hydrogen clump up together and make a new star, the other elements orbit their new mother and also clump up making new planets. And if one planet is lucky, it grows life, and new ponies begin to emerge. That is how most life is formed Scootaloo, that is how life is made. It's a very sad and beautiful story, but in the end this is what happens." The Doctor said.

"It's amazing!"

"I know, I know."

Scootaloo was jaw dropped by the beautiful nebula, and a bit sad by how it got that way. She could stare at it for the rest of her life.

"Happy Birthday Scootaloo, you are the first Equestrian to see a Stellar Nebula up close." The Doctor said quietly.

This was the best birthday present Scootaloo had ever received, she wished she could stay forever.

At the corner of her eye, she saw something she never expected to be there. It was a burned up teddy bear, it looked sad.

"Uh, Doctor. What is that?" Asked Scootaloo.

"It's the Mark of the End of a Civilization, Scootaloo. Like I said, this is how it ends, and out of the ashes emerges a new civilization, like a Phoenix." He said in a sad tone.

Scootaloo continued to stare at the teddy bear. She was grief of how the teddy bear got in its stage. She couldn't imagine what the teddy bear saw with its eyes. Both The Doctor, Scootaloo and the bear had something in common; they lost everything they loved.

"Come on Scootaloo, it time to get back home. Your parents might get worried." The Doctor said.

"Yeah, my parents." Scootaloo said holding back a tear.

And just like that, the TARDIS disappeared. Leaving the teddy bear drifting of in space, alone, and full of sadness.

*Vvwoorp*

*Vvvwwwoooorp*

*Vvwwwoooooorrrrpp*

*Ding*

The TARDIS materialized near Sweet Apple Acres, no pony was in sight. The TARDIS doors opened, Scootaloo walked out.

"Thanks Doc, for everything." Said Scootaloo.

"It's my pleasure Scootaloo, though I insist on walking you home." Said The Doctor.

"Don't worry Doc, it's alright I can walk myself." Insisted Scootaloo.

"Well alright Scootaloo, and goodnight."

"You too Doc!" Said Scootaloo as she was heading to Sweet Apple Acres.

The Doctor closed the TARDIS doors, he thought about what Scootaloo said. Sleep, he hasn't had sleep in a long time.

He walked back to the control room, he was sadden of what he showed Scootaloo. He was glad she didn't see what hiding in the clouds of elements; a planet in pieces and a few homes orbiting the star.

He headed to the kitchen, he was always fascinated in making foods. But today he just wanted a cup of coffee. He put the coffee dust in the coffee machine. He poured water carefully, seeing as he had no hands. He set the timer, and waited.

The Doctor hated waiting, he always was in deep thought whenever he was. He always thought of what he has done in the past, and he will do in the future. He thought of why and how he could avoided his mistakes he has done, but it always ended in a stalemate. He never liked being an immortal god, he could never be happy.

The coffee was done, The Doctor grabbed the nearest cup that he could hold with his hoof. He set cup next to the coffee machine, he poured the coffee carefully into the cup. He set the coffee down and picked up the cup of coffee.

He took a sip, he always loved sipping his coffee. The kitchen was blue, the floor was white and the ceiling, on one side was the sink, stove, cabinets, ect. On the other was a table and two chairs, both wood.

The Doctor sat down with his coffee. As he was sipping he began to feel funny, not the good kind. He left his coffee and walked out the kitchen. His back was aching, he need to rest. His vision was getting fuzzy, and was blackening. He was in the control room, but he couldn't tell, he was getting light headed.

What the hell! The Doctor thought.

He was losing balance, he hit the control panel's side with his head. He was on the floor, his head was pounding! His back was on fire, in fact everything was! He was in pain, he couldn't get up!

"AAHHHH!" He screamed.

The pain was increasing on his back, he couldn't take it. His nose was bleeding and he was coughing out blood. Then out of nowhere, he felt something stab him in the back, like two swords!

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!"

The pain was intensifying, tears were coming of of his eyes. He was in a pool of blood, sweat, and tears, his mind was lost.

And just like that, the pain stopped. But The Doctor fell into unconsciousness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scootaloo walked towards Sweet Apple Acres, the sky was leading her way. The barn was dark, the Apple Family must be asleep. Scootaloo snuck passed the barn, she was pushing on her scooter. The clubhouse wasn't far, it's was 1/4 mile away from the barn. She always loved walking through the acres of apple trees.

She arrived at the clubhouse, it was getting cold. She opened the door and went inside, she began doing the same routine she always has done. She opened the plank on the floor that was loose, she placed it next to her. Inside was her old pillow, a green blanket, and under all that was a picture. In the picture were two pegasi, one was a mare with a yellow coat, purple mane, purple eyes, and she was holding a small filly: Scootaloo. Next to her was a stallion with a orange coat, brown mane, and purple eyes. They were all in a park, smiling like there wasn't a care in the world.

Scootaloo placed the picture on the frame, she set it beside her. She place her new pillow on the floor and covered herself with her blanket. She didn't have anything to eat but that was okay, she was full from the party anyways. As she was drifting of to sleep she began to recall the present from The Doctor, she was the first pony to be inside a nebula. She looked at the photo of the three ponies, a tear fell from her eyes.

"Goodnight mom and dad, I miss you." Scootaloo said as she fell asleep, dreaming about one day meeting them again.
