The equestrian health organization had arrived almost immediately after everypony fled. Several large stallions, one white with an aqua mane and a blue cross with clouds behind it for a cutie mark and the other is a dark gray coat with a white curly mane with black highlights at the end and a shield with a red cross for a cutie mark. They lifted her gently to the ponyville hospital.

An hour later, the equestrian royal guard had arrived. They had some Canterlot scientist with them on carriages. They put up borders around the site where the Dalek fell on Cloud kicker and were observing it, picking at it in the wrong spots. They didn't know what they were doing but the Doctor did. The doctor looked around waiting for something to happen when he noticed that half the ponies in ponyville were standing nearby, all curious of what the Dalek was. The doctor listened in to their whispers.
"What is that thing?"
"Cloud Kicker was moving clouds, it must have come from space!"
"Is it dangerous?"
"Are there more of those"
"As a scholar, that thing has never found its way in Equestrian history"

A scientist, an old looking earth-pony mare with a grayish-brown coat with a dark brown mane and a pick axe against a rock for a Cutie mark, was talking to a Royal guard. The guard was different than the rest. He was a Black earth pony, with a saved mane and golden armor covering his cutie mark. His armor had the insignia of the solar empire, Celestia's cutie mark. Only elite lieutenants and above can have that insignia. "This is big", thought John Smith.

Suddenly, the Royal guard nodded and trotted over to the crowd. He asked the loudest pony, pinkie pie, to tell the crowd to disperse. "This is a national security issue", he said with a highly dark tone.

Pinkie Pie did the only thing she could think of: She simply nodded and started yelling, "Ok everypony! We need to leave the nice guard to his work! We should plan a get well party for Cloud Kicker, in the mean time. I'll make the 'Get well Cloud kicker cake"'ready when she wakes up and then we'll have a humungous PINKIE PARTY!", with great emphisis on " a humungous PINKIE PARTY!". Everypony simply nodded and left including a skeptical John Smith.

They trotted back to Carrot Top's house and started talking.

"What was that thing", asked the young Dinky Doo.

"I don't know but it hurt Cloud Kicker. What if there more of it", said a worried Sparkler.

"I heard somepony in the crowd and they're right. Cloud kicker was in the air. Not even the pegasai are safe.", said Carrot Top.

"Mr. Smith", Dinky said, talking to John Smtih who was looking out of a window, "Is mommy safe?"

A sucker punch, or in pony terms sucker buck, of sudden realization hit them all. Ditzy was still on her mail route. Derpy flies by air and so does Cloud kicker and Cloud Kicker got hit flying. Derpy could have been hit to. By now she would have been starting Canterlot. The group couldn't comprehend of what to feel. If she got hit then she would be in the care of one of the best hospitals in the nation but if she did get hit she might not make it anyway. She also rather didn't know what happened or somepony else got hit and they don't want no pony to get hurt.

"I hope so, Dinky. I really hope so.", Said the Doctor, worrying over his significant other. He wanted to take the Tardis and find out for himself but Ms. Ditzy Doo had asked him personally to watch over them. He isn't the type of guy, or stallion in his case, that breaks his promises lightly.

They waited all day until the sun was setting with the feeling of fear and dread. Derpy came home with a small cut on her left cheek. Her eyes were somewhat seemed duller than normal and her mane was roughed up. Other than that she seemed like herself.

Dinky and Sparkler immediately rushed to their mother and hugged with their eyes swelling up with tears of relief. Carrot Top was making food: carrot surprise (Dinky's favorite meal). She looked over and smiled somewhat bitter-sweetly. John Smith calmly trotted over and slightly nuzzled Derpy.

"I don't always receive greeting nicely. What going on?", Ditzy said, confused. That is something John loved about his companion. She may seem mentally retarded with her speech impediment and clumsy behavior but she was always smart and quick to pick up ques.

Carrot Top turned off her wood stove and said, "The foods ready. We can talk during dinner. Hey, Sparkler, John, can you two help me make the table while Dinky is with Derpy?" Those who were close to Ms. Ditsy called her Derpy. At first it was a joke within her therapy group, one of many. Than it stuck. John Smith always called her Ms. Ditzy or Ms. Doo. Derpy was something he never understood, even as a human.

John smith and Sparkler nodded and made the table quickly. Derpy was confused but understood answers would be given to her questions soon enough. Meanwhile, Dinky was nuzzling the bottom half of her leg.

When the table was made and everypony sat down on their benches, Derpy asked, "Nice too much. Not normal. Happen something?"

Everyone looked down. Carrot Top was the first person to speak, " Cloud Kicker got hurt. Bad. She was taken to the hospital."

Derpy looked worried but almost immediately confused. She said, "Sad and worried for friend. What do with me though?"

Sparkler spoke up, " Cloud Kicker was in the air and moving and it fell on her. We were worried that the same thing happened to you"
Derpy smiled, said, "Aww" and got up. She kissed both Sparkler and Dinky above their left eye and sat back down. "Sweetie, Muffin, worry too much".

Derpy looked at the Doctor. She could tell when he had to say something but couldn't. She winked at him and looked at her food.

Carrot Top rationed everypony's food and they feasted on her delicious creation. When they were done, it was Dinky's bedtime and all the worrying tired everypony out. Dinky and Sparkler went to their rooms. Carrot Top went to hers upstairs. Even though it is her house, she has the smallest room connected to the attic. All that were left were Derpy and John Smith.

"What on your mind?", Derpy said, back to being worried.

John Smith said in a harsh and serious tone, "Do you remember talking about my other incarnations. The other fourteen when I had the body of a human? A demon from my past found me."

"I don't understand", Derpy said. When she was dead serious, she had relatively correct grammar.

"A dalek was in ponyville, Ditzy. Daleks aren't known to enter a planet one by one. We could be facing an invasion."

Ditsy was about to shriek but John gently covered her mouth with his hoof at the cost of his balance. "I will never understand how you ponies can stand on three legs.", he said comically but then switched back to serious," Another thing. The equestrian guard arrived quite fast. Canterlot is three hours away. That means a powerful unicorn had teleported them here fast or ...", said with a pause, "One of the princesses noticed. I know Luna. She notices things in space even I couldn't. She must have seen them come from space. They know what's going on."

Derpy looked at the ground, trying to comprehend what he said. She looked up and smiled. "Enough of this. Should go to bed we", she said nuzzling the doctor forward to their bed.

The doctor and Ditsy Doo slept in the same bed, a king in human standards as Ditsy likes to spread her wings. They abstain from sex though. The doctor is sterile and doesn't need the complications from it.
