Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe four friends walked out of the train. They looked around.
"How do we find Time Turner?" Bon Bon asked as the approached the palace.
"Maybe we can ask one of the princesses." Octavia suggested.
"Ok." Derpy replied.
Lyra remained quiet. Twilight knew what she was doing. She knew Twilight would do something horrible to her friends if they went in there.
"Guys" Lyra continued, "When I was getting food and I got back on the platform, Twilight was there. She said that she knew our plan and it would never work. She said Derpy was a sad excuse of a pegasus.
"What!" Derpy yelled.
"Yeah, she said that." Lyra continued. "She said we had no means of defense. I think what she means is she's going to something horrible to us. I don't think we should go in a palace."
"Yeah, we shouldn't go in." Octavia replied.
"But we need Time Turner!" Bon Bon added.
"Guys." Derpy continued. "There's a shadowy figure over there.
"Seems suspicious." Octavia replied.
"Let's go." Lyra replied.
The four creped over to the house. The figure knocked on the door of a house. The figure was Twilight. A grayish amber pony answered the door.
"Hello?" he asked.
Twilight grabbed Time Turner and said "Look Time Turner, your old friends, Derpy, Octavia, Bon Bon, and Lyra are coming to pick you up and take you to and Vinyl back to Ponyville get back on top again. Now, you know I'm not going to let that happen. So by royal decree, you will not go with them. Hope you have a good night!"
With a flash of purple mist, she was gone. Lyra ran over to Time Turner. As Lyra was about to speak, Time Turner told them what happened and how he couldn't go.
"We can't let the old alicorn stop us!" Bon Bon replied.
"She's right." Octavia added.
"I want to go." Time Turner continued, "I really do. I miss being a doctor and a timekeeper. And I don't want to hold you back."
"Who cares about Twilight?" Lyra continued, "You need to follow your own path. If you want to come with us, then go ahead. If you want to play it safe and stay here, that's fine."
Time Turner looked at the ground. He knew he had to help his friends, but he knew he might die if he went. He thought about it. He couldn't leave his friends.
"Come on guys." Lyra replied. "We'll just go get Vinyl."
The four ponies walked away sadly. Time Turner grabbed his backpack and ran out the door.
"Wait!" he yelled as he tried to keep up with the other ponies.
"I'm coming with you!"
A sigh of relief swept over Lyra. Time Turner had caught up and was walking next to Derpy.
"So Derpy," Bon Bon asked. "How come you were silent around Time Turner? I'd think you'd be the most excited to see him."
Derpy hated being asked about Time Turner. Besides, they hadn't seen each other in years.
"I just-"Derpy muttered. "We haven't seen each other in a long time and our last date was years ago."
"Whatever." Bon Bon replied.
"So should we get to train station?" Octavia asked.
"Yeah." Lyra replied.
