Chapter 4: Returning

*Canterlot train station*

It had been two weeks since carrot top left and now she was coming back… or so she thought

"What do you mean the train is delayed?" asked a very angry carrot top

"I mean that due to the storm going to take place soon we are going to have to cancel all trains to Ponyville for the next week" said the annoyed train staff

With the horrible news she knew she was going to have to call Derpy and tell her.

"Ooooo why me?" she questioned to Lyra

"I don't know," Lyra said sincerely "But don't worry I'm sure Derpy is just fine"

*Ponyville*

When Derpy got back to the Post office she was still thinking about the doctor

"How could he just leave me like that," Derpy asked nopony in particular "Get yourself together You ole ditz he has been gone for a week now, you can't keep moping about a pony you just met a few days ago and besides carrot top is coming back tomorrow." She said happily

When she walked in the building she walked over to her boss' desk

"I'm finished with my run Mr. Letter sir," she reported "I'm going now."

"Wait Derpy," he said in a gruffly voice "I've got some mail here for you" he handed the mail to her and she left

As she left he stared at her through his office window 'how can such a great mare get so little respect in this supposedly kind town' he wondered. He went to pick up an old photograph with a stallion and a mare with a little mare with a pair of wall eyes…

Derpy was walking to the house when she saw what time it was on the old town clock

"Only 3:00? My Celestia did I finish early," she pondered in amusement. She walked a bit more when she passed Sugar Cube Corner and her stomach rumbled. "Hmmm I might be a little hungry better get something to eat."

When she went inside and a stallion at the cash register looked up to hear the ringing of the door bells

"Good afternoon there Derpy, just finish work?" the stallion asked

"Good afternoon Quick bake, yeah I just finished" Derpy said with a wide smile

Quick bake was a young stallion who wouldn't give up the chance to make a wise crack here and there but even though he is like this he was a very loyal pony second to Rainbow dash. He was (Insert pony description here)

"Do you have any blueberry muffins today Quick?" Derpy asked eyeing the merchandise

"Yup I got a fresh batch just coming right now actually," he said going to the kitchen

"How's business been? Is pinkie a good teacher? Did you move in alright?"

"I've been doing great and pinkie pie has been teaching me a bunch," He said setting the muffins down on the table "though her styles of business can be questionable sometimes and yeah 2 weeks here and I made more bits than I have in a year over at Appaloosa"

You see Quick bake here is from the apple's family but found out he liked to bake other things not just pie all the time. So he moved here for a better life and to be taught under the great pinkie

"That's great to hear" Derpy said putting the bits on the table "hope you do well and good luck"

"Thanks come again" he called out as she left

As Derpy walked into her house she put her bag on the couch and sat at the table eating her delicious muffin

"Mmm muffins… huh? What's that?" she wondered as she saw the letter that stuck out of her bag and went to go get it "oh yeah it's that letter Mr. Letter gave me

Dear Derpy

Err Carrot top here as it turns out the storm here in Canterlot has made the trains stop for a while I'm not going to be back until another week I am so sorry but I hope you understand.

Sincerely Carrot top

Struck with sadness Derpy just sat there

"Why does these things have to happen to me?" she said remembering the doctor's letter

But at that moment she heard a certain grinding noise come from across the street

*The Tardis*

"Well old girl where should we go next to find this mysterious person," the doctor asked the Tardis while looking at a big board with a bunch of drawings and X's "seems that it was a celestial being who went in my mind." The doctor thought

The doctor walked over to the tardis console and started punching in some numbers

"Could it be that there is another… no it can't that would be impossible," he quickly shook away "I think I might as well gather some data on this universe since I can't seem to escape" he finished as he walked out of the tardis

"Well would you look at that a library in a tree house sort of strange a library full of books made from trees to be in a tree house but hey whatever's normal here" He rambled as he approached the door and knocked

"Coming," a loud voice called from what sounded like an upstairs room. Soon the door opened to show a purple pony with a short cut on her mane and a…

"A HORN," the doctor yelled "YOU'RE A UNICORN AWW THAT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT ISN'T IT" he continued "oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell" he apologized after seeing a shocked expression on the scared unicorn's face

"Well it's not every day that a pony yells about a unicorn, they are kind of everywhere," She explained "umm my name is Twilight Sparkle did you need anything from the library?"

"Oh yes my name is The Doctor if that's ok with you and yes I would like to brush up more on the history of this brilliant place here." The doctor replied

"Ok Doctor, umm I think we may have some books on the history of Ponyville in here," she said motioning for him to come in "did you just move here or are you visiting?" she asked while looking for said books

"Huh? Oh I am just visiting for a few days" he said a little lost as looked around the books

It was then he came upon a peculiar book with a muffin on it

"Hmm" he stared at the book for a little while longer as he thought of a certain mare… a mare who he left without telling her just like a coward.

That was when he heard the door slam open and the same voice that nursed him came

"doctor?"
