Doctor and Ditzy’s Science Theater

by Rixizu

Episode 14 - Part 4

"What are you doing here, Pinkie? Don't you know what's going on?"

Doctor: (Pinkie) You mean the hoards of the undead terrorizing the town? Duh, I am here to see what you are up to. Zombies are so boring. All the want to talk about is brains, and they terrible at Pin the Tail on the Pony.

I ran up to her and grabbed her in a friendly hug.

Doctor: Pinkie looked uncomfortable having her personal space violated like that.

She was one of my best friends.

Ditzy: How can she be your best friend if you don’t know Twilight?

"I'm just glad you're safe."

"It's good to see you too, Violet, but I need your help."

Ditzy: (Pinkie) I have a pickle jar I need opening.

"Of course, Pinkie, what's wrong? Is somepony in trouble?"

Doctor: (Violet) Is little Timmy stuck down a well?

"Yes, but I'm afraid you won't like who it is."

Doctor: (Sighs) Let me guess, it’s Trixie.

"Just tell me, Pinkie,"

Ditzy: (Pinkie) Boo! It’s isn’t fun if you don’t guess!

I placed my hoof under her chin and lifted her head up to look at me. "Hey, it's alright."

"Okay, the pony who's in trouble, is your brother, Orange Sherbert."

Ditzy: (Violet) Oh... buck him! He has it coming!

I gasped in horror, I was surprised. "Where is he? I have to go save him."

Doctor: (Pinkie) Follow me!

Ditzy: (Violet) Wait...for me. Darn it Pinkie.

Doctor: (Pinkie) What are you waiting for silly filly? This is serious!

Ditzy: (Violet) Wah! Don’t do that!

"He's trapped and surrounded in your bakery.

Doctor: I suppose shooting things with arrows can’t really pay the bills.

Ditzy: A bakery? Really?

We were just hanging out when these insane ponies attacked some of the customers.

Doctor: It had nothing to do with zombies, it was Black Friday.

We were frightened. He told me to run, to find you, because he needed your help.

Ditzy: One day. One day. The Ponyville Police Force will show their stuff.

He's still there, in the second story, the other ponies can't reach him.

Doctor: (Coughs) Zombie Pegasi.

Please, Violet, you have to help him." I could see tears welling up in her eyes.

I was terrified, I had to go, I knew that Pinkie cared for my brother, and he cared for her, although they didn't know this about each other.

Ditzy: They acted cold and hostile toward each other despite how they felt about the other.

He told me to keep it a secret, which I did.

Doctor: (Sherbet) I want Pinkie to think that I hate her for the rest of my days.

I  was going, no matter what. "Don't worry, Pinkie, I'll help."

Ditzy: (Violet) He still needs to return my Colts 2 Stallions CDs!

"Me too." Octavia said from behind us, her voice calm as ever.

Ditzy: (Octavia) Zombie apocalypse? Whatever..

"Oh, thank you guys so much." She gave us both big hugs.

Doctor: (Pinkie) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Ditzy: (Violet) Pinkie…. you’re….Argk.

Doctor: (Pinkie) Uh, you okay?

Just then, Twilight stepped out of Zecora's

Doctor: And now you’re spelling it right?

house, immediately followed by Vinyl.

Doctor: Conveniently, their conversation happened off screen so the author doesn’t have to write rhymes for her.

"Pinkie? What are you doing here?"

"We'll explain on the way, but we need your help. Come on." It was me who answered, turning into the forest and starting to run.

Don't worry, brother, I'm coming for you.

Doctor: (Twilight) Does she realize she’s going to wrong way?

Soon we got out of the Everfree Forest, and what we saw frightened us.

Ditzy: They’re charging that much for a muffin?!

There were hundreds of the ponies attacking the bakery my brother was trapped in.

Ditzy: Demand for cupcakes went out of control.

I drew my bow, and released an arrow into the side of one of the ponies.

Doctor: Yeah, that’s going to make a difference.

It simply turned and let out a earsplitting moan.

Ditzy: (Pony) Owww! I wasn’t even a zombie!

It sounded like nothing I've ever heard before.

"Why isn't it hurting them? That arrow would have easily killed a pony." I heard Vinyl shout from behind me.

Doctor: They’re zombies. You know this already. You already saw Carrot Top get mortally wounded without it hindering her in anyway!

"It's because these aren't ponies were dealing with Vinyl," it was Twilight who answered, "Zecora said that they are dead ponies, but are alive. They are basically dead bodies which are able to walk."

Ditzy. Zombies! Just say it already.

"Well how do we kill them?"

Doctor: This is for the three people in the audience that know nothing about zombie lore.

"Zecora said that the only way to kill them is to either decapitate them, or find a way to pierce or crush their brain, then burn the bodies."

Doctor: They give off a surprising pine scent.

"Well let's get to it then." I said, launching an arrow into the nearest ponies head. "Let's finish this. We have to save Ponyville."

Ditzy: Six ponies against hundreds of zombies? Sure, why not?

"Sounds like a plan." Twilight answered, slicing through another ponies neck, it's head falling off.

Doctor: (Zombie) Argh! Hey, a bit!

Vinyl and Octavia were already stabbing into ponies heads, killing them instantly. Pinkie Pie was also helping, but something was different about her,

Ditzy: She was wearing a black and red spandex suit and was wielding a sword and a gun.

her mane was now straightened out, she had an evil expression on her face. She was also slicing through ponies heads.

All: ...What?!

"Pinkie, are you okay?" I asked her gently, hoping to get a response from her.

"My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, not Pinkie. Now don't get in my way."

All: ...What?!

I was a little afraid by her response. Why was she acting this way?

Ditzy: The author was trying to make her cool and kick flank while completely ignoring Pinkie’s actual character.

Oh well, better leave her alone.

Doctor: (Violet) A psychotic change in her personality. Whatever, it probably isn’t important.

I spread my wings, and with a strong downbeat, took to the skies. I watched the battle from above,

Doctor: (Violet) Hey, I can see my house from here.

shooting my own arrows down into the horde of ponies. There was a group that was surrounding Twilight, I dove down to her and landed just behind her.

"Violet, what are you doing?" She said in a harsh tone.

"If I'm going to die tonight, I want to die beside the one pony I love."

Ditzy: You’ve known each other for a day.

She simply turned and kissed me, for the third and possibly final time.

And I was happier than ever.

Doctor: (Violet) Now turning into an undead horror didn’t seem so bad.

We turned and fought again, knowing we were together. But just before we were completely surrounded, a huge burst of flame engulfed  the attacker's, all of them falling to the ground before completely burning. Twilight put out the fire with her magic and we both walked away from the now burned corpses.

"Did you start that fire?" I asked her gently.

Doctor: Violet didn’t want to be on the wrong side of a fireball.

"No, I just put it out."

All of the attacker's were either dead or still being killed by the others. Soon they were all dead.

Ditzy: The party gained 5000 experience points, 480 gold, and a mop.

"Everypony okay?" I asked them all.

"We're fine." Pinkie said, back to her usual energetic self.

Doctor: Well, a water downed version of Pinkie at least.

"Good, now let's go see if my brother is okay." I walked toward the door, it was barricaded from the inside. "Hey, Sherbert, you in there?"

Ditzy: And got a fireball in her face for her trouble.

"Who's that?" He asked, looking out the second story window, "Violet? Is that you?"

Doctor: (Sherbert) Great, now I’m never going to live this down.

"Of course it's me, who else would it be?"

He drew back into the window and, after a few moments, I heard cracking from the inside, then, with a huge break, ripped the door open.

Ditzy: (Sherbert) Lock thingys are too complicated.

He apparently ripped the barricades off the door with ease with his magic.

Doctor: I hope you realize you the one that will have to pay for that later.

"Oh, it's so good to see ya, big sis."

"It's good to see you too, little brother."

Ditzy: Come to think of it, I’ve never referred to my siblings in that way. Ever.

I said, embracing him.

Ditzy: (Violet) Come here you big lug.

We were only a year apart, so nopony could tell I was actually the older sibling.

Doctor: Sherbet looked like he was in his forties.

After we let each other go, he looked around with a worried gaze, "Where's Pinkie, is she okay?"

Ditzy: He started crying in the fetal position, convinced he got Pinkie killed.

I smiled a bit, I knew he cared for Pinkie for a long time now, "She's fine, she's with us."

"Sherbert? Are you okay?" I heard Pinkie ask from behind me.

Ditzy: (Sherbert) I’m little feverish and have been vomiting a bit, but otherwise I’m fine. Strange time to get the flu.

The second she saw him, she sprinted into his hooves, nearly tackling him to the ground.

All: Nearly?

Doctor: He must be built like a brick wall.

"Oh, Pinkie, I'm fine, don't worry, just as long as you're safe."

"So Sherbert, what happened? How did you get stuck in the bakery?" I asked my brother.

Doctor: Doesn’t it have a name?

Ditzy: Come to Bakery, it has the finest bake goods in Ponyville.

He let go of Pinkie, then turned to face me, "Pinkie Pie and I were hanging out, as usual,

Doctor: Ah, you were on ‘break’ then.

Ditzy: (Sherbert) I’m a manager! I get all the breaks I want!

when these things attacked," he said motioning to the corpses. "They started to attack the customers. I told Pinkie to run and find you,

Doctor: (Sherbert) I had to convince Pinkie not to throw them a party.

I ran up the stairs, then destroyed the staircase so they couldn't get to me.

Ditzy: Unless they have wings like so many of them do.

I had to stay there, and that's pretty much it."

Doctor: (Sherbet) I left six ponies to die.

"Well at least you're safe." I said, hugging him again.

Ditzy: (Violet) What’s a few dead ponies?

"We're all safe, and we're together, and that's all that matters."

Ditzy: Wait, who shot that fire? I thought it was Sherbet, but it couldn’t of been him.

Doctor: Nothing in this fic seems to have any rhyme or reason.

                Author's Note:

Orange Sherbert is an oc that belongs to noteworthy420.  And yes I know, a Pegasus and a unicorn being siblings, might be odd,

Ditzy: Since when?

Doctor: Maybe a few thousand years ago.

but hey, I don't care. This chapter may not be the best one, but I think it's pretty good. Let me know what you think. But I'm not the best writer, so if there's any mistakes let me know and I'll fix them.
