One month…one full month has passed for the young man of Equestria. DJ was finally settling into life in the land of ponies. His Pinkie training had ended over a week ago and now he was even more random than before. Expected, true, but still took a while for Twilight to get used to it. DJ was popping in and out of the library at random moments, instant popcorn whenever, and the like. While the town ponies were used to this newcomer’s antics, it still was strange to see him suddenly come out of nowhere.

Today was just like any other, peaceful. That was the common feel in Ponyville, nothing but peace and harmony. DJ didn’t mind the quiet, he enjoyed it even, but he felt that something exciting should happen by now. Currently, the lone Equestrian human was wandering the streets, looking for something to do. Applejack wouldn’t be needing his help on the farm for another week and he and Spike had finished their chores at the library. Nyx was off playing with Cutie Mark Crusaders for the day and Twilight was busy with her research on the strange chest that the Tree of Harmony had produced. In a nutshell, DJ was bored.

That boredom was cut short a moment later, when he found himself being pushed onto his back on the ground. It was so sudden and unexpected that he was completely disoriented. As the grogginess wore off, he heard the voice of a familiar mare.

“Oops. My bad,” spoke Ditzy who was sitting on him with her own dazed look.

“Hey, Ditzy,” DJ said looking back at her with a smile.

“Hi DJ! What are you doing on the ground?”

“A mailmare flew into me,” he quipped.

“Oh, sorry,” Ditzy said as she started to hover off him. “I just don’t know what went wrong.”

“No problem Ditzy. I’m starting to get used to it, unfortunately. SO! What are you up to this fine day, Miss Hooves?”

“I just finished my route so I was going to spend some time with the doc—I mean Time Turner.” DJ immediately noticed what Ditzy had tried not to say, and smiled smugly. Okay, time to have some fun!

“Well, Ditzy, that sounds like fun. Mind if I join you? Kinda bored being on my lonesome.”

“I don’t know. Time Turner usually likes to stay secretive.”

“Oh, trust me on this Ditz. He’ll want to meet me.” DJ was confident on that.

“Okay. Follow me!” Ditzy took off down the road, but turned around and flew back to him. “Oops. Wrong way. Eheheh,” she laughed nervously. DJ rolled his eyes and snorted. The pair walked along the dirt roads of Ponyville, well, DJ walked while Ditzy flew around.

“So, Ditzy, how’s Dinky?” DJ asked just making conversation.

“Dinky’s been doing fine. Thank you for convincing Twilight to help her with her magic. I can only teach her the theories so it’s great that Twilight was willing to help.”

“No problem Ditzy. Anything for a friend.” This was a common sight around Ponyville as of late. Ditzy was one of several friends DJ had made outside of the Mane Six. Lyra, of course, was another and the two regularly hung out the local café. After a while, Lyra even introduced him to her marefriend Bon Bon and the two hit it off quite well. Vinyl and Octavia were another pair that DJ got along with, mostly Vinyl, but Octavia appreciated having another music lover around. Nothing wrong with enjoying the classics. Just usually are too long for me. Small attention span and all. Ditzy and DJ had become close friends after they spoke for a second at his welcome party. Ditzy was glad to have a friend who didn’t care about her eyes or her clumsiness, while DJ was fine having somepony around that he could just have a polite, normal conversation with. The girls are great and all, but, to be fair, none of them live normal enough lives to just talk with. It comes close with Rarity, but it usually leads to fashion and that’s where the interest fades.

DJ noticed that Ditzy was leading him to the local watch makers’ shop. The two entered the store and a brown earth pony stallion with an hourglass for a cutie mark was ‘ponying’ the front counter. “Greetings and welcome to Time Turner’s Time Repair Shop. Oh, hello Ditzy. Wasn’t expecting you until later.”

“Hello, Time Turner. I got off early so I decided to come over. Oh! I have a friend that I want to introduce you to. He’s… where did he go?” Ditzy started to look around trying to find where her human friend went. Just as she did, the door to the shop rang open again and a little black filly walked through.

“Hey, Miss Hooves!” Nyx greeted. “Did I see DJ come in here?”

“Oh, hello Nyx. Yes, he came in with me, but now I have no idea where he went.”

Time Turner looked confused. “Who is DJ? I didn’t see anypony come in with you my dear.”

“Back here!” came a familiar voice from the back room. “You’re right. It really is bigger on the inside!” Time Turner’s face paled and he ran to the back room followed by Ditzy and Nyx.

“Who’s back here?” Turner called.

“Just your friendly neighborhood human!” DJ said as he walked out of the big blue police box that was in the back of the watch store. “Cool tech, ‘Time Turner’. Never thought that part of the fandom was real.”

“Hi DJ!” called Nyx.

“Oh, hey there kiddo. Didn’t see ya there! What are you doing here?”

“Mom and Spike went to the Everfree forest to do some research in the old castle out there. So she wanted me to find you and so you could supervise me!” DJ wondered why she was so happy about being foalsat at her age, but smile nonetheless. That filly just made him happy. Wait a second! Everfree? Castle? I’m must be in ‘Castle Mane-ia’!  Aw, I wanted to see the castle!

“Okay, then Nyx. Just stick close then. Now Mr. Turner, it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance,” DJ said sticking out his hand.

Time Turner shook it, but still looked at him suspiciously. “You know who I am, don’t you?”

“Eeyup.”

“How does he know, doctor?” asked Ditzy.

“He’s a TV character where I come from, just like you guys,” DJ responded honestly. He only trusted that information with his closest friends, and Ditzy definitely fit the bill.

“Oh, you are from that universe, eh? Well, nice to meet this world’s human. I am The Doctor.”

“Who?” asked Nyx.

“Exactly,” said Time Turner and DJ in unison. They looked at each other for a moment in surprise. Then DJ ruined it.

He pulled a carrot out of nowhere and began to munch on it before say, “Eh, what’s up, doc?” Classic!

“I think that’s copyrighted,” he responded.

“Meh,” DJ shrugged. “Don’t care.”

“So, DJ how did you get to this particular universe?”

“Genie magic,” DJ responded nonchalantly.

“Intriguing. What do you plan to do here?” questioned the doctor.

“Shouldn’t you already know?” DJ asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Humor me,” Turner responded with a smile.

“Well, I plan to live here. That’s pretty much it. I am basically winging it the whole time.”

“Ah, so you are that DJ.”

“So we were going to meet eventually. I thought you usually asked that first?”

“I decided that it makes others too uncomfortable to ask that out of the blue. Especially if we hadn’t met yet.”

DJ nodded. “Makes sense. So tell, Doctor, does the TARDIS only travel through this multiverse or does go all throughout the omniverse?”

“Only though this plane of existence I am afraid,” he said as he walked towards the TARDIS and then stopped. “How do you know about that?”

“Theories I made up mostly. To think I was right on some of it was surprising enough.”

“What are you two talking about?” asked Ditzy and Nyx in unison.

“Science,” the two males responded without looking at them.

“Okay, then human, let’s chat over some tea and muffins,” Time Turner said as he walked with DJ following.

“Now you’re talkin’! After you Doctor, allons-y!”

“That’s my line!” he said with a laugh and DJ joined in. Nyx and Ditzy still were wondering what just happened, but followed at the sound of muffins. DJ and the Doctor talked for hours, DJ mostly trying to confirm a few of his theories between the multiverse and omniverse. Pretty much all of it went over the females’ heads, but still enjoyed seeing the two of them get along so well. As the sun began to set, DJ and Nyx decided to head back home. Time Turner and Ditzy walked them out.

“So, if two universes were to come near each other, it would be possible for an event like a sonic rainboom to affect one of the closer worlds?” asked DJ as they opened the door.

“In theory, yes. But such an event is so rare that it has never been documented. I’ll look out for it though, it sounds fascinating. I have always been jealous of human ingenuity and imagination. So creative,” the good Doctor said.

“Well, it was nice meeting you doctor. Hope you stick around for some time, I’ll come by at a later date and we can talk some more. Thanks for introducing us Ditzy; sorry for taking your day together away.”

“No problem, DJ. It was nice seeing the doctor actually interacting with somepony. He’s such a shut it.” Time Turner looked offended by his marefriend’s words. “You know it’s true!”

“Well, thanks for having us. Come on, Nyx, your mother and Spike are probably back by now.”

“Okay!” Nyx said falling step behind him.

“Good bye DJ. We’ll talk again!” said Time Turner.

“You’d know!” DJ quipped back.

“Bye DJ! Bye Nyx!” called Ditzy.

“Bye, Ditzy,” the two returned together. Once the good byes were done, the two started the trek back to the library. It wasn’t a long walk and they arrived soon enough. Upon entering, they found Twilight and Spike going through some books that didn’t look familiar.

“Have fun?” DJ asked as he entered.

“Oh, DJ! Nyx! Where have you two been? It was pretty late when we got here, so what’s your excuse for keeping my daughter out late on a school night?” said Twilight who looked a little miffed.

“Sorry about that Twi. Nyx and I were spending some time with Ditzy and her coltfriend. The two of us got to talking and sorta lost track of time. Turns out me and Time Turner have similar interests in science fiction.” Nyx looked at him weird, but he put a finger to his lips indicating for her to keep quiet. She nodded, but wasn’t sure why.

“Well, at least you made a friend,” she replied. “Alright, Nyx, go brush your teeth and then get to bed. I’ll be up in a minute to tuck you in.”

“Okay, mom,” Nyx said as she bounded up the stairs.

“Cute little thing, ain’t she?” DJ said as he watched his favorite filly. “So how was the castle?” DJ asked, already knowing the answer.

“It was hectic!” said Spike. “The place was so old and creepy. I could have sworn the pony of shadows was out to get us. Turns out the other girls had come to the castle for their own reasons. Oh, and they all have diaries now.”

“Sounds like I missed out on a perfect chance to get my Scooby-Doo on. Dang it!” The pony and dragon looked at him weird. “I’ll have to show you for you to understand. That dog is a riot!” Twilight and Spike only shook their heads with one the most common sayings going around town: DJ will always be DJ! I always leave an impression. Nice, right?
