Dark looked over to the two stallions rolling on the floor laughing at his look of absolute shock, the Dr. was in the room... a time traveling pony. "Ha Dark we trolled you good!" Naga said between gasps. Dr. Whooves was rolling on the ground as well managing to spit out "I never thought I'd get the chance to use that it was hilarious..." he stood up brushing off his duster taking on a more serious persona, "but down to business I came here as a favor to Naga. I will give you a trip to the past to allow you to keep dash from losing her child."

At this Naga stood up and looked Dark straight in his eyes, "this could have serous repercussions but I think you deserve the chance to help her." Dark lightning looked straight at them and with a face that would make a spartan turn tail and run home, "lets go." They piled into the blue box and even though he knew what to expect it was still a sight to behold. The console sprang to life as the Dr. began to flip seemingly random lever and switches, the T.A.R.D.I.S. began its familiar whir and they lurched upwards with a start.

The time machine landed with a resounding *dong* and they threw the doors open, Dark saw the house that he had become accustomed to before him. 'Dash's house', he thought to himself as he suddenly found himself covered in Naga's shadow aura and they vanished from sight. Holding up a hoof the went inside shutting the door behind him signaling for the others to stay back, this was his fight. He saw a sight that filled him with rage as a fuming Soarin stood over a sobbing Dash hoof raised about to strike.

Thinking quickly he used his power to overload a nearby power switch causing it to explode sending Soarin across the room. As he stared at the unconscious Soarin he felt proud and satisfied that Dash was safe and left the house. As he trotted outside he looked at the two figures leaning against a blue box. He nodded and pushed the door to the T.A.R.D.I.S. open and trotted inside. The trip back was spent in silence much like the ride there, as he exited the box he thanked the Dr. and flew off wanting to see how things were now that Dash had never had to loose her foal.

As he approached the cloud home he heard a loud crash come from the house and he rushed into the house and saw Soarin and a pregnant Dash sitting on the couch. He gazed in horror as Soarin turned around a vase had been knocked over by Dash's pet turtle. He screamed at Dark but he heard none of it as he saw his mares face turn to him in horror and without an ounce of recognition in her features. As hooves mercilessly beat him he could only think 'what have I done.'

As Naga began to read a frantic pegasus stormed into the room and landed at his hooves covered in blood and bruises. "She doesn't know me.... she doesn't bucking know me!!" he sobbed as he lay on the floor. Naga was utterly and completely shocked by this. "Fuck I knew this was a bad idea, I'm so sorry Dark there's nothing I or Doctor Whooves can do" Naga announced to the sobbing pegasus at his hooves. With this he reached down to pat him on the back but was thrown across the room by an EMP blast.

The black pegasus raged "I don't care if you'r SORRY i want my dash back and if I cant have her than I don't see any reason to live" and with this he blasted through a nearby window and flew off into the night. He flew as fast as his wings would take him away from the tree hearing Naga shout but the words were lost in the wind. He knew where he was heading, the Everfree void. A magical anomaly that anything (as according to Dr. Whooves) tossed in would be erased from existence.

As he flew images of Dash raced through his mind like a mental movie, there first kiss that fateful morning. There first flight together followed by there first race. Which resulted in there second intimate moment. He raced for the void seeking retribution for his idiocy of thinking he could play god and alter time. He spotted the black void and charged to it eyes shut tight as he prepared himself for oblivion, he hit water. Or more accurately a swimming pool, he was yanked out of the pool by a familiar shadow-like aura and was thrown violently to the floor of the T.A.R.D.I.S. but was immediately thrown again into a wall as a hoof slammed into his gut knocking the wind out of him.

"What the fuck are you thinking!" Naga screamed at him. Dark lightning only lay there slumped against the wall in silence. "AAAUGGGG!!" Naga yelled and threw the stallion into the main room. He materialized next to a shocked Dr. before shoving him out of the way and using his magic opened the panel and shoved Dark's face into it. Raw time energy rushed into the pegasi creating a blinding array of power that proceeded to expand outward knocking everypony to the floor.

When they awoke everyone involved save Soarin was lying on the floor of Twilight's study. Dark opened his eyes and looked around the room and saw Naga stumbling around the Dr. waving his sonic screwdriver around in a circle clumsily. He heard a familiar groan from behind him. He turned to see a dazed Dash looking confused at him, he stared painfully at her before she looked at him and asked "whats the matter Dark sweetheart?"

A few minutes later Twilight was laughing with Dash in a corner as they discussed the latest gossip, Dash with a slightly swollen belly. The three stallions conversed in a corner in hushed voices "as far as I can tell from what i gathered from Twilight she and Soarin never met and you two did instead. We must have done it when you were exposed to the heart of the T.A.R.D.I.S.." Dr. Whooves shook hi head as Naga spoke and responded with, "she's done this sort of thing before old gall. I swear I think she's a hopeless romantic her."

Dark looked at them stunned "so your telling me that the filly that Dash is giving birth to is...." the Dr. and Naga grinned like trolls and said in unison "your's, you just got time trolled." After explaining what happened to the mare's and showing Dash the inside of the T.A.R.D.I.S., twilight having already seen it and was glaring at Naga and reprimanding him for careless time travel. Rather than freak she simply had Twilight transfer all of there memories to Dark.

He was flooded with times and experiences, there meeting, first kiss, first "time", his proposal, her pregnancy. He let out a tear at the end and hugged Dash proclaiming "nothing, not even time will keep me from you" and hugged her. They both leaped back from each other as a spark of energy ignited between them and expanded in a similar fashion as before. When the light cleared they felt invigorated and refreshed. The Dr. scanned them and looked at them in utter shock, "well well, it would seem that the incident has suspended you in time effectively stopping your aging process"

The two pegasi looked at each other and smiled, "I guess till death do us part took on a new meaning" Naga said receiving a slap upside the head as they kissed now knowing that the would never have to die. Forever in love. Dark Lightning and Rainbow Dash, the love that nod even time could hold at bay.

THE END...... for now
