Chapter 5: Explaining

*Twilight's treehouse*

"Doctor," Derpy asked bewildered that he came back "is that really you?"

The doctor puffs a heavy breathe 'of all the time's I could have landed I had to land at this time' the doctor thought

"Hello again Derpy how are you," The doctor asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice "err how many days has it been?"

At this Twilight walks in with a book to her face

"Here's that book you want...ed… I'm sorry am I interrupting anything?" Twilight asked awkwardly feeling the tension between the two

"Oh thank you Twilight," the doctor said taking the book "and no we were just leaving actually good bye."

"Huh but I need to ask you something." Derpy said getting pushed out of the treehouse

"Oh lets go somewhere a bit more private don't you think?" he said nudging towards twilight's direction

Twilight just waved bye as the Doctor pushed Derpy outside of the tree house

"Those two are a strange pair," Twilight said to herself "mmm maybe I should keep watch on those two."

*Outside The library*

"Ok now doctor…" Derpy started

"No not here come on." He interrupted motioning for her to follow the blue box at the street corner

The Doctor opened the door and pushed it open and motioned her to come in

"Doctor I don't think the two of us would be able to fit in… here…" she faded as she walked inside

The inside of the Tardis was as big the library, it had a strange machine in the middle which was humming a very small noise when she walked in

"How is this possible?" Derpy asked while running outside and looking around the blue box

"Come on say it I've heard them all." The doctor said with a smirk on his face as she walked back in

"It's smaller on the outside." She finally decided

The doctor's smirk faded as he remembered a certain someone who said those exact words

"Clara…," he whispered in pain at the memory "I'm so sorry."

Derpy watched him as his smug look quickly turned into a sadden expression

"Did I say something wrong," Derpy asked going full on mother mode "if so I'm sorry." She apologized

The Doctor looked up into her caring eyes and couldn't help but smile

"No it's just I remembered a dear friend of mine," the Doctor quickly pushed that away "So what was this question you wanted to ask me."

"Oh yeah I wanted to ask you why did you leave me," Derpy said with a saddened expression "it's been a week and then you just come back out of the blue, how could you do that?"

"I'm sorry Derpy but I had to find a way back to my world but seeing as how I can't seem to do that I decided to… Wait did you say a week?" he asked realizing what she had said

"Yeah it's been a week since you left," Derpy repeated "what did you decide to do." Keeping her eyes fixed on the doctor

"Err oh yeah I decided to try and learn a bit more on the history of this fine universe seeing as I might be stuck here for a while." He said calmly

"Oh well I see seems like you didn't need me at all." Derpy said looking at the floor

The doctor noticed this and walked up to her

"Of course I needed you how else was I supposed to survive that crash and learn how to be a pony in only 5 days," the doctor said trying to cheer her up "only you have the nurturing ability and brains to do that?"

"Oh yeah I guess I did do that huh." Derpy said a small smile just peeking out

The doctor sighed and walked to the console

"Now for serious business there has to be some reason the Tardis brought me back here," the doctor pondered looking at the console's screen "not to mention I met you again of all the pe…err… ponies I could have met I meet you again… why? Is there anything significant happening soon to you or Ponyville?"

Derpy tried to think of something anything that could be out of the norm

"Nothing out of the normal I can think of," Derpy said after a while "well my friend Carrot top said there is a freak storm over in Canterlot but that is all really."

"A freak storm eh hmm," the doctor pulled a few levers and pushed a few buttons "my dear where is this Canterlot you speak of?"

Before Derpy could answer a loud scream was heard outside as they ran outside they saw a pony get grabbed by a dark cloud and get pulled to a large mountain in the distance

"Wait what is that white thing?" the Doctor said

The Doctor eyes opened wide as he saw the large white capital on the SIDE of a mountain

"How is that place not falling down the side of the mountain right now?" He asked still bewildered by its ability to stay still

"That's Canterlot and umm well we don't know why exactly," Derpy said rubbing her hooves together "most of us just think the mountain has a magical property to hold it up, and others think the princess hold it up with their magic either way it has a great magical field around it."

"Oh wow that is truly remarkable so you ponies live under a monarchy? Who is the princess and who is the king or queen?" The doctor asked

"Well we don't actually have a king or queen only our 2 princesses Princess Celestia and Princess Luna," Derpy answered with a bit of pride in her voice "Princess Celestia raises and lowers the sun while Princess Luna raises and lowers the moon."

"Oh that is strange so you need to manually move those? In my world they sort of move by themselves," the Doctor noticed the small cloud with the pony fly off to a larger dark cloud over Canterlot "Umm do you usually get giant ominous clouds of darkness around here?"

"No why do you…" Derpy faded away as she noticed the giant cloud loom over Canterlot "Doctor that isn't normal why is it like that? It isn't dangerous is it?"

"Well I haven't stayed here long enough to decide that," the Doctor said running inside the Tardis 'it can't be if it is then I'd better hurry up on up there' he thought "you said that your friend is in Canterlot right?"

"Yes, Doctor what is it?" Derpy asked starting to get worried

The Doctor just seemed to ignore her as he went to the console and started to type in a code and started to pull some levers but stopped as he got to the last lever

"Derpy may you close the door please?" the Doctor asked with a smile on his face

"Doctor will you please answer my question?" Derpy said as she closed the door

The Doctor just looked at her

"Derpy there could be a potential danger in Canterlot now you could either go spend these maybe final moments with some friends or you could go straight to the heart of it where it is more dangerous, what'll it be." The Doctor asked with a smirk on his face

"Doctor…" Derpy said looking outside of the tardis windows "When do we leave?" She said as she turned to the Doctor with a grin

The Doctor sharing the same grin turned to the console and readied the lever

"Derpy my dear..." The doctor looked at her "Hold on to something."

And he pulled the lever
