Chapter 3 Understanding

*the next day*

After finally getting used to his new hooves the doctor was finally able to walk "doctor do you want to go for a little walk through ponyville" Derpy asked the doctor after breakfast "well sure why not but then I really need to go in my tardis" the doctor replied "ok whatever you say" Derpy said when she remembered when they went to get the small thing "I still don't understand how he travels In that thing it's so small and has no wheels" she thought "let's go then".

When they went outside Derpy said "hey doctor" "yes Derpy" the doctor answered "what do you do for a living" the doctor froze at this "umm I travel around" "with a big blue box" she said dully "I'm serious what do you do" the doctor answered the best he could "well I really do travel and that big blue box is my way of transport you won't understand Derpy"

As they were talking they heard some mares "what is that dunderhead doing with that handsome stallion" "who is he anyway is he new here" "well whoever it is must be going with her out of pity" Derpy put her head in shame as she heard this" is this really why he was with me is it because of my eyes" the doctor heard them and stopped he turned around and said "Is this really all you do all day is make fun of passing mares" he said with very noticeable rage in his voice "well I think that you should go and never do it again because I'm sure this mare would help you even though you are so mean to her now let that feeling of guilt sink in you and just go" the mares were just about to say something then let that sink in and put their heads down in shame

The doctor stood there proudly then he turned to Derpy and put his arm around her "Derpy don't listen to them they are just bullies who have all the talk but never act" he said trying to calm her down Derpy looked up at him and she calmed down "thank you doctor but you didn't need to do that" she said solemnly, the doctor was perplexed at this "and why shouldn't I" "well what if there was a stallion who could hurt you for standing up to him for me" "the I would stand up and risk it because you are worth the risk" the doctor replied "how am I worth it" she had said "I'm worthless and I can't do anything right and my eyes are messed up" "Derpy hooves" the doctor shouted Derpy jumped up at this "you are not worthless I mean you are the one who nursed me back to good health and you are the one who showed me more kindness than anyone I have known all my lives, you are kind, caring, smart and unique" he said "and your eyes are beautiful so don't let anypony say otherwise do you hear me" Derpy was at a loss of words nopony has ever said anything so kind to her before simply hugging the doctor she whispered "thank you" the doctor hugged back "you are ever so welcome, now let's go back to our walk"

The pair went down to sugar cube corner and got two cupcakes "he Mrs. Cake how's the business going" Derpy asked as she walked in "oh Derpy dear it's been going just fine and who is your coltfriend here" she asked with a subtle wink, at this Derpy yelled in defense "no he isn't my coltfriend I'm sorry I mean he is just a friend who is visiting" Derpy said lowering her voice the doctor noted this and made a note to ask her what's a coltfriend "oh sorry dear, well what's his name" Mrs. Cake apologized " I'm doctor err" the doctor looked around and noticed his feet "Whooves, doctor Whooves at your service" Derpy looked at him as he made a mistake unknowingly "oh are you related to ms hooves here then Mr. doctor" Mrs. Cake asked, the doctor realizing his mistake said "No I'm just a friend with the nearly same name hers is hooves and mine is Whooves with a W" he said guessing her last name, thank god he was right "oh well sorry" just then a peculiar pink pony (hehehe say that 5 times fast) ran into the room "ooo are you a new pony here, I'm pinky pie nice to meet you, what's your favorite color, what kind of cakes do you like, do you like parties, are you and Derpy friends that you just met a couple days ago when you were traveling and landed in the woods" pinkie asked in a fast excited voice "umm yes, nice to meet you I'm doctor Whooves with a W, brown, vanilla, yes, and wait what" the doctor said answering her many questions. "here are those cupcakes you ordered that will be 5 bits" Mrs. Cake said to Derpy "you better get out before pinkie starts to ask more strange questions" "lets go doctor" Derpy said dragging the doctor out of the shop

They then went to the park after Derpy tried to the best she could to explain pinkie "wait so in some way or form she could just know things? I don't get it" the doctor had told her "told you it was complicated" Derpy said smiling

When they reached the park Derpy went to a little bench and the doctor followed holding their bag of cupcakes when they were done eating they just sat down talking for a bit "so why do ponies say such mean things to you" the doctor asked still confused on why" "well a long time ago I dropped a few things on a pony named twilight" she said looking down in shame "she was nice enough to let it go, but others never stopped making fun of me for it" the doctor finally understood why she was so careful with the things she does "well you are not worthless to me" he said as he hugged her.

After awhile the doctor grew more tired as the day was going "let's go home I think it might be getting late" and he was right the sun was nearly setting "oh well I guess we have been out here for awhile now, let's go" Derpy said

Whenever they arrived home the doctor fell on the couch he was completely pooped who knew walking on 4 legs for so long was such a hard task. Derpy went to her room also tired both physically and emotionally when she went in she kept thinking about what the doctor had said before. "he is so kind to me even though I am not worth his kindness" Derpy thought quietly as she fell into a deep slumber

*3 hours later*

The doctor woke up feeling more relaxed than before. The doctor thoughts went to the tardis just sitting in the backyard "well I guess I best be going" he went to the kitchen to get a pen and paper and wrote down a note. Once he was done he left it on the kitchen table, the doctor went back to his tardis and memories flooded him as he walked in the tardis. He set the coordinates for London 2086 the day he left, then a thought of horror occurred to him "what if I can't leave this universe… oh well I guess we have to see" and he started up the engine.

Derpy had woken up to the door alarm going off and she looked out the window. When she saw the doctor go in his box she was struck with fear "oh nononono you are not leaving that easily doctor she said as she flew down the stairs and to the backyard just in time to see the box disappear into thin air, "but I never got to say goodbye" she said as the realization that she may never see him again struck her. After what felt like an hour she went back in knowing that the doctor wasn't returning that's when she noticed a note on the kitchen table "what's this note doing here did the doctor leave it" she went to pick it up and read it

Dear Derpy:

If you are reading this it means that I am long gone, don't try to look for me as it will be impossible I just wanted to say to you that remember that no matter what anypony says you are not stupid or worthless, I am so so sorry but I can never return I did enjoy the time we spent together but I must return to my world. You are a great mare and a great friend

Yours truly

The doctor

Derpy read the note then read it again "I can't believe he left" she said as she walked up the stairs head down in shame.
