"Oi! Where in the solar system is that sonic screw driver?" the Doctor shouted to himself, trying to locate the handy little probe and control the TARDIS at the same time. She was going crazy, sparks flying up from the circuits and tumbling through time like a penny in a washing machine. The Time Lord hung on as she rumbled like an earthquake, shaking him so hard he was flung off the controls. The Doctor put a red-shoed foot up to pull a lever down, but missed as the TARDIS shook again, this time much harder. The lights went off, and he was surrounded by the oppressive feeling of night. The space ship bounced off something, and the next thing the Doctor knew the lights were on, flickering, and he was hanging on a sharp piece of metal from the ceiling, caught on the back of his suit. He kicked, sending a shoe landing somewhere in the debris below him.

"Oh, come on, girl! Give me a little chance here, would ya?" he asked desperately. The only reply was a deep, threatening growl from the ship. The lights went out once more, and the Doctor was free from the hook as the TARDIS flipped upside down. "If only I could find my sonic," he grumbled. He held on to the railing tightly as she tumbled through space and time.

The doors below him opened suddenly and he lost his grip. The Doctor fell out of the TARDIS, spiraling towards the ground below him. It looked much like Earth, except he wasn't quite sure where. But that didn't exactly matter right now, as he was free-falling to ground that was like ten miles away. Suddenly, the TARDIS came twisting and spiraling towards him. He grabbed the side of it and held on for life as she fell. The Time Lord climbed inside, and clung to the railing again. The ship shook harder, and the doors slammed close. He pulled out of the way just in time as his foot was nearly slammed in the door. The Doctor clambered to his feet, and was thrown forward by a sudden rocking motion. His head slammed on the control panel of the TARDIS and he remembered no more.

---

A pegasus blasted through the air, multicolored mane whipping behind her. She smiled, feeling her cheeks tug back, tears coming from her eyes. The barrier was forming; she could see it. She was so close. . .

BAM!

Rainbow Dash's senses were overloaded with pain as something slammed into her, going so fast she didn't get a good enough look at it as it went whizzing by. The pegasus desperately tried to get back in control of her body, wings going out of sync. She ducked her head into her hooves and let herself free-fall for a moment before lifting her head up. The green grass surprised her, but her quick instincts made her wings pop out, sending her soaring back into the great blue sky which was littered with fluffy white clouds. As Rainbow Dash recovered from the pain, she grew angry. She was going to give whoever had run into her a piece of her mind. Or her hoof. Whichever one she wanted. The pegasus spread her wings, angling into a slow dive. Going below the layer of clouds, she was met with a thick cloud of smoke.

"What in the wide, wide world of Equestria?" she asked herself, unknowing of what was even happening. "I swear to Celestia if that's another dragon. . ." She landed, waving her wings to rid her lungs of the smoke. Dash slowly approached the source of the smoke, and found a huge blue box, stuck upside down in the ground. It was on fire, flames licking the side of it like a lizard's tongue. Rainbow shot up into the air and grabbed a cloud. She brought it down to right above the thing and bucked it a few time to release a torrent of fresh rainwater upon it. It sizzled, and the smoke cleared as the fire went out. Dash tapped the side, finding no scorch marks or anything on it. "What? How? This. . . thing! was on fire! It should be burnt to a crisp!" She looked incredulously at it. "And it's wood!"

BANG!

Rainbow jumped back, startled momentarily by the sudden noise from within. The door opened a crack, but as it was stuck in the earth, it didn't really move.

"Oi! Get me out!" a voice shouted. Dash fell onto her haunches, ears flattening as the banging on the doors grew more incessant and angrier; more frantic. There was a pause, followed by the sound of stuff moving around. "Ay! My sonic screwdriver! Found it!" The doors were suddenly opened, earth flying back at the pegasus. She lifted a blue hoof to cover her eyes as a bright light shone from within. A pony, wearing a ragged blue tie, fell out, exhausted. He glanced up, big brown eyes meeting her cerise ones. He jumped up. "'Ello! Can you tell me where I am?" He glanced around, smiling widely for one that had just fallen out of the sky.

"Did-did you just fall out of the sky?" Rainbow Dash asked, pointing upwards, her eyes wide. The stallion glanced up, smile not wavering in the slightest.

"That would be me, then!" he replied, and looked back at Dash.

The last thing he saw was a blue hoof coming at his face.

---

Blurred shapes crept past his vision, random colors blending together to finally form the sky blue pegasus in front of him. The Doctor shook his head, blinking furiously for a few moments afterwards. He heard her speak, and perked an ear.

"I asked you, what are you doing here?" she said angrily. The Time Lord grumbled something in return, and from the sound of it to his own ears it sounded more like gibberish than a real response. Obviously he was correct, as a stinging slap across his face brought him to full attention. Her rose eyes burned into him, fire lighting in her gaze.

". . Eh, traveling. TARDIS went all crazy; must've gotten damaged when that laser hit the control panels. Garbudians, ha, such a ridiculous race. Think they'd ever be able to steal her away from me again! This time I was prepared! Though I don't see why I'm a pony, I mean, that was fairly obvious when I grabbed my sonic screwdriver. I had hooves! First transformation to a different species when traveling! Never done that! Quite fun, I must admit. Maybe that had something to do with the TARDIS going all wacko! Was she trying so hard not to let anything happen to me that when we started leaving the Garbudian planet she couldn't do anything else but try to stop my transformation by only focusing her power on me? Was that why? Hmm, that seems about right. She's always been overly protective of me! Ha! Imagine that! TARDIS acting like a mother! Never really thought of that on a bigger level though it seems as though- OWCH! You really need to stop doing that!" the Doctor shouted, shifting a hoof to bring up to rub his face, only to find he was tied against a tree. He pulled on the ropes, to no avail. "Hey, why am I tied up?"

"I'm the one asking questions here, not you! Ya got that, ya dip?" the pegasus snarled. She turned around, flicking her rainbow tail in annoyance. "Who are you?"

"I'm the Doctor, who are you? Oh, I mean, um, you are someone and I am the Doctor, right, no questions from me," the Time Lord corrected, catching her glare back at him.

"Doctor? That's it?" She turned around again to look at him fully. "I'm Rainbow Dash, by the way."

"Nice to meet you Rainbow Dash! And, yes, that is it. Just the Doctor."

"Alright, Doctor, why were you flying at breakneck speeds towards me?! Why did you smack me out of the air like some little bug?! I was going so fast that I could've been killed in a collision like that! Even I know that! How come somepony with a blue flying box doesn't know that?!" She slammed her hooves on the ground, teeth grinding together. The Doctor folded his ears back, surprised at her fierceness.

"Well, I myself am still kind of wondering. But, don't worry about it. TARDIS really acting bonkers, and even after 900 years of time and space I still can't fly her!" he said, laughing. Rainbow Dash snorted.

"What are you going on about? 900 years? Are you crazy?" she asked incredulously. The Doctor shrugged.

"I suppose I am. That's me-madman in a blue box. But, hey, don't worry 'bout me. No, not at all. Why don't you just untie me and I'll get out of your hair, ay?" He smiled brightly at the pegasus.

"Pfft, no way. I have a right to report you to the authorities. You nearly killed me. With a box. You'll be in jail soon if I have anything to say about it." Dash gave a firm jab to his chest, causing the Time Lord to give a gasp of indifference. He stuttered a few times before he could say anything.

"Hey! If it gives you any consolation, I was just falling out of that box-how long have I been out?" He raised an eyebrow.

Dash looked down at the watch she had drawn on her wrist. She pondered it for a moment. "About, I don't know, twenty minutes since I drew this on." She waved the red ink watch in his face, his eyes following it back and forth.

"And when did you draw that on? Before or after you tied me up?"

"Alright, alright. After," Rainbow Dash said. "Around five minutes afterwards."

"Okay, right, twenty-five minutes, and I was trapped in the TARDIS for about five minutes before I came out. . . ten minutes I was trying to get ahold of her. . . so, that means only about forty-five minutes-give or take-I was falling to the ground because she threw me out. So, technically, it wasn't my fault, so technically, you can't take me to authorities because I didn't do anything wrong!" the Doctor finished triumphantly, looking up at Rainbow Dash. She had one eyebrow raised, a smirk on her face. "What? What are you smiling about?"

"Oh nothing, it's just that since you can't even control that box, you are a reckless flier! Which means I can turn you in still!" She grinned, then turned around, smacking him in the face with her tail as she did so. The Doctor grumbled something, fidgeting in the ropes. Rainbow Dash raised her wings, preparing to shoot off. Then, abruptly, she stopped and face him again. "Where are you from, by the way?"

"Let's just say not from around here," he responded coolly. The Doctor eyed the pegasus cautiously.

"Are you a changeling?" Dash questioned, folding her wings again and sitting down in front of him.

"If I knew what that was, would that be bad?"

"Yeah. Pretty bad." She shifted her position. "What are you then? And your box? That thing's wood. I know that. It was on fire; it should've been completely destroyed. Plus, why would anypony in their right mind want to travel in such a small thing?"

"Warranty. That's all. And you'd be surprised. It's actually quite spacious in there." The Time Lord looked around, trying to act unconcerned. The fact of the moment was that he couldn't have any random equine getting any wrong ideas about him. He was sure he didn't want to go to jail. Again. Although breaking out of jail wasn't hard, to him, at least, as he had his extremely handy sonic screwdriver, it wasn't a pleasant place to be located. But, really, could going to jail in a world full of magical technicolored ponies be that bad?

"You know what? I really don't believe that answer. There's something about you; something odd. I don't know what it is exactly, but I'm gonna find out." Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes, studying the Doctor closely. As her eyes eventually wandered off to something else, he leaned his head down under his collar and grabbed his sonic. He quickly broke the ropes, and jumped up. Dash watched, momentarily stunned, but shook her head and shot off after the escaping stallion. Obviously the Doctor was no match for Equestria's fastest flier, so she quickly caught up to him. He looked over at the pegasus, glanced in front of him, then winced as Rainbow ran face-first into the TARDIS doors with a loud 'thud'.

"Well, see yah Dash! Sorry about your face!" he shouted as he pulled the doors out for once as to make sure the smashed pegasus didn't somehow get inside, stepped inside the TARDIS, and closed the blue doors. He found himself falling onto the ceiling. "What? What? How-what?!" The Doctor glanced frantically around him at the huge mess. "But you have your own gravity! You're upside down out there but you're not supposed to be in here! What is going on with you?" He tried to jump up to the control panels but found it was too high. Growling in frustration, the Time Lord picked his way through the mess. He grabbed his shoe he had lost earlier, with some difficulty, and chucked it at the controls above his head. It caused a few sparks to fly, but then, suddenly, everything turned back right side up. He landed with a bang on the appropriate side of the time traveling ship. "Well, okay then. Fine. Works for me! Come on, let's leave this deranged pegasus behind, shall we?"

The Doctor flipped a switch, and with a shudder, a screech, and a whistle, the TARDIS started to disappear. Sparks flew out of all directions, setting fire to half of the console, but they reappeared, the scratchy sound of the TARDIS filling the late afternoon air. The Doctor stumbled out of the ship, coughing. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and pulled the pin, spraying the control system of his ship to put out the fires. He threw the empty can aside and closed the blue doors, observing his surroundings. The quaint little buildings towered above him, filling the Doctor with a sense of comfort.

"Looks comfy, doesn't it dear?" he asked the police box next to him, leaning against it. He cracked a grin, crossing his arms and standing on his back hooves. He heard a rustling sound, and looked around. A small, round, green bush growing against a house quivered slightly, and saw three pairs of eyes looking back at him. They quickly vanished back into the shadows as they realized they had been seen.

"I think he saw us!" a high pitched voice squeaked. The same voice let out a shrill squeal as he heard a smack.

"Shh! We don't want to him to hear us!" another growled-probably the one that had hit her.

"Sorry!" the small voice replied.

"Girls! Scootaloo, no hittin'. Sweetie Belle, no loud noises. We need to figure out our diagnosis. Ah say crazy-or loco in the coco, as Pinkie Pie would put it," a third voice chimed in, her southern accent thick.

"I agree. I mean, who was he talking to? 'Looks comfy, doesn't it dear?' What a wacko," the one, presumably Scootaloo, agreed.

"He is by that box that I've never seen before," Sweetie Belle added.

"Don't be silly, Sweetie Belle. Who talks to a box?"

"Well, there was that one time you-"

"H-hey! No need to mention that! Just focus on the task, huh?"

"Alright, alright. was just saying."

"You know, it's not nice to talk about someone."

The three ponies screamed, leaping out of the bush, a flurry of leaves scattering over the ground. They pressed themselves against the house on the opposite side, shaking as the Doctor stood up from within the bush. He grinned. "I mean, seriously! Like I didn't see you! Or hear you, for that matter. . . " He grimaced and looked away. "And I'm not a wacko, either! I'm just. . . well, never mind that. You don't need to know." He shook his head to clear it. "What I need to know, though, is where I am. Where are we?"

"You hit your head or something?" Scootaloo asked, sticking her wings out.

"Oh, no, look at me, I'm stupid!" He knocked on his head a few times. "Completely empty in there, I tell you."

"You're in Equestria," Sweetie Belle piped up, pushing forward to stand next to the little orange pegasus, much to her irritation.

"Equestria, you say? Never heard of it. Strange. I've knowledge of nearly everything in the universe," the Doctor said, tapping his chin thoughtfully.

"But didn't you just say you were stupid?" Scootaloo asked.

"Oh, um, yes. Clever one you are. But before we go any farther in discussing my I.Q, tell me the date."

"June 17th, 7086!" the southern filly said, finally participating in the conversation. The Doctor grinned.

"Much later in the future! Very much so!" He knocked on the police box's side. "Good work, girl!" He looked back at the three fillies. He slowly brought his hoof back down to his side. "Eh heh, heh. Um, say, is there a library near here?" Three multicolored hooves pointed left. "Thanks!" He turned around and abruptly ran into a wall. "Very odd, being a pony. Eyes slightly off center." Feeling their eyes on him, he scurried around the corner.

"You're going the wrong way!" Sweetie Belle shouted. He ran by again.

"Right. Thanks Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and I didn't catch your name," the Time Lord nodded at the pale yellow filly with the giant bow on her head.

"Applebloom," she said. "And you are?"

"The Doctor. Allons-y!" He sprinted off.

"Still the wrong way!" Sweetie shouted.

"ALLONS-Y!" They saw him run past them once again.

---

"Ow. . . ow. . . ow. . ." Rainbow Dash groaned, rolling over onto her back. Her front hurt like crazy; she ran into something pretty hard. She shot up, only to find herself cringing in pain. "That stupid stallion! And his box! That's what I ran into! And now he's gotten away!" The pegasus shook off the pain and leaped into the air, prepared to hunt and hurt the mysterious Doctor. "I am going to find him of it's the last thing I do." Dash shot off, her signature trail marking where she'd been only moments before. I'm going to murder him! I will! I swear! That mangy little-hey, Scootaloo! Rainbow took a detour and picked up her little friend, swooping around in a large, sweeping circle. The filly laughed, buzzing her wings as she hoped for a miracle and took off into the air, finally free from her life on the ground. Her arms stretched out and as they neared the ground again, she relaxed. Maybe someday, but not today.

"Oh, man, Scoots, you don't know how glad I am to see you! I had the weirdest and most shocking day! Okay, maybe not as shocking as doing a sonic rainboom and winning the Best Young Fliers' Competition and saving Rarity from certain death but still pretty odd!" Rainbow Dash explained breathlessly. She quickly began telling the story to Scootaloo and her little pals, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, about her strange encounter with the Doctor, and about how as soon as she found him she was going to tear him limb from limb-

"Rainbow Dash, we get it. You don't need to go into detail about how you're going to mangle him," Applebloom said, the CMC members giving a few shudders of horror from what they had just heard.

"Sorry. But he tricked me. And nopony tricks Rainbow Dash and gets away with it. NOPONY!" Her shout rattled the eardrums of every pony in a hundred yard radius.

"Wait a minute. You said 'the Doctor?" Sweetie Belle asked, raising an eyebrow as her voice went up an octave in question. Dash nodded. "Well, then we can tell you about our own encounter with the Doctor. . ."

---

"No way! You saw him! And you even know where he went! This is great! I'm going to beat the-"

"RAINBOW DASH!" the fillies shouted simultaneously.

The pegasus smiled sheepishly, ears flattening sides of her head for a moment before perking up again. "Sorry." She glanced at her 'watch'. "Gotta go! The library is calling my name!" She leapt into the air, churning her legs before leaving a few coughing fillies where she had just been in a cloud of multicolored smoke.

---

The Doctor rushed along the streets, dodging a light green unicorn and a cluster of flower ponies. He took a flying leap over a fruit stand, surprising the pony selling to the point of which she screamed. He looked around, searching for anywhere that looked like a library. "Well, that makes sense, doesn't it?" He looked up at the giant tree in front of him. "Library in a tree. Really hope the reason I'm here isn't to fight more Vashta Nerada." The Time Lord pushed on the door. It didn't budge. "Hmm, interesting. Wood, too. Blast!" He shoved again, really putting his shoulder into it. The door gave a creak and he found himself falling inside.

A purple unicorn looked up from where she had several test tubes out. "What? That door opens out. How'd you get it to go this way?" she asked, baffled.

The Doctor look back. "Um, I'm good with doors." The sign on the TARDIS, "PULL TO OPEN," flashed in his mind. He shook it off and approached the short purple unicorn. "Um, I'm new here and I was wondering, where are the nonfiction books?"

"Well, hi there. I'm Twilight Sparkle, owner and tenant of this library. Nonfiction's right over there, to your left," she said kindly. "Any type of book you're specifically looking for?"

"Well, Now that you mention it. . . history books. Or science. Or both. Preferably both, if you don't mind." He glanced around quickly. "And I'm the Doctor, by the way. Nice to meet you Twilight Sparkle."

"Doctor who?" she asked as he turned in a circle to get a better look at the shadows. He mouthed the words with her, a smirk on his face.

"Just the Doctor. Now, books." Twilight nodded and led him over to another little room. She levitated a few thick books down to their level from the top shelf.

"Okay, I have four history books right here, but what kind of science book are you particularly looking for?" She set the books down in front of the Doctor.

"Space. Time. Genetic, or, let's see, what do you call that. . . oh yes! Biology! Yes! That's it! Those types," he responded.

"Alright. Well, space is over there-" a purple hoof pointed one way "-and time's over there-" a head nod "-and, finally, biology's over there." Twilight smiled at him. "If you need anything, just ask. Oh, and if I may, can I know what you're working on? I mean, most ponies don't read books like that for fun." The Doctor flipped open the first book of the history and scrolled through it. He looked up at the unicorn.

"Well, now, how to put it. . . part of it is for finding out what made my DNA change and turn me into a pony, and the rest is for fun, really. Might as well, while I'm here, ay?" Twilight stood there, a look on her face of severe confusion. "Ah, I see. Never mind what I just said. You go off and finish whatever experiment you were doing." The pony raised a hoof to leave. "And might I suggest putting the blue-bio-acid into the reticulate-formula. Then mix the hydrochloric acid with the hydrofluoric and put them all together." Twilight looked at him, her mouth open and deep violet eyes wide. "Be careful, though. A little bit of a boom afterwards. Back off. And do not leave it sitting for more than ten minutes, would you? Then I'll have to come in and fix it." He rolled his eyes, snorting. "Typical of other species to do that." The unicorn nodded, her throat dry, and raced out the door, slamming it closed with her magic behind her. The Doctor blinked. "What was that about? Whatever, I must get to reading."

So, how is it so far? If it's absolutely terrible, sorry. First Doctor Who story. I've been watching it. All seven seasons of the new Doctor Who. Anyways, hard to do Time Lord talk. Wasn't exactly sure what to write. . .

Hope I got the Doctor's personality right. . . and yes, this story will be full of him getting slapped or mauled by Rainbow Dash and going the wrong way. Pretend the library door opens out only, and don't question logic. Speaking of it, don't question anything. Nothing. Twilight's doing her best. Plus: ALLONS-Y!

And another thing-I won't have the next chapters of Rainbow Chaos or What Happened to Discord! ready for a while. I've been really busy. And I know, I wrote this, and it sucks. . . kinda. But I've no motivation for those anymore. Sorry. But don't worry, they're NOT going to be cancelled. I think WHTD is going to be finished within the next few chapters, though. I need to get that done. If I get a chapter up in the next week, or two, feel lucky. :/

Anyways, new story, how do you like it, blah, blah, blah.

You know what to do.
