Doctor and Ditzy’s Science Theater

by Rixizu

Episode 14 - Part 10

I was awoken by the sound of the train stopping. We have arrived in Canterlot, possibly the one place in Equestria that hasn't fallen yet.

Doctor: So you’re finally acknowledging the severity of the situation.

"Well, we're here. I guess we need to go see the Princesses now?" I asked Twilight.

Ditzy: Yeah, so we can finally get this over with.

"Yeah, let's get off the train, the others are probably waiting for us."

"Okay, let's go."

Ditzy: (Violet) Where is everypony?

Doctor: (Twilight) Wait a sec...this isn’t Canterlot!,

We exited the train to find a few royal guards waiting for us. "Twilight Sparkle, Violet Arrow?" One of the guards asked.

"Yes." Twilight answered.

"Come with us, the Princesses are expecting you. We will escort you to them and your friends to a safe place."

Ditzy: (Vinyl) Will there be booze?

Doctor: (Guard) No.

Ditzy: (Vinyl) Lame.

We followed them into the royal hall, the doors swung open, revealing Princess Celestia sitting on the throne, Luna sitting next to her.

Ditzy: They never gave her a throne.

"Ah, Twilight, Violet, you're here. We've been waiting for you two."

Doctor: (Celestia) I thought you would be here days from now. What took you so long?

Princess Celestia said in a nice tone.

Ditzy: That had an undertone of hostility.

"Hello, Princess Celestia, good to see you again." Twilight responded.

"We have summoned you here because Canterlot is being threatened by the same enemy

Doctor: If you aren't going to call them zombies, at least give them some sort of name.

that caused the fall of Ponyville. We need your help to defeat this enemy, you two are Equestria's only hope."

Ditzy: (Celestia) Fighting them off ourselves seemed like too much work.

Twilight looked up at the Princess. "Don't worry, princess, we have the Elements of Harmony, they should be able to stop these things."

Ditzy: (Twilight) We could have used used them in Ponyville, but I didn’t want to disappoint you Princess and break one of your commands.

The princess nodded. "Good luck, my little ponies. The fate of Equestria, is in your hooves."

All: Don’t mess this up.

"We won't let you down."

"I know you won't."

Doctor: (Celetia) But just in case we have a hidden bunker we can stay in until this all blows over.

With that, we left the royal hall. The royal guards led us back to where we would be staying.

Ditzy: Staying… just finish the zombies now!

Doctor: It’s like they can’t do anything without resting first.

It was a large mansion, definitely big enough for all of us. Once we went inside, the others were already getting settled.

Doctor: Rarity complained about all the things left in Ponyville that she couldn’t leave without.

"How is everypony doing?" I asked them.

"Great," Applejack answered. "Pinkie and your brother are upstairs, Fluttershy is in the other room, the fillies are in the room next door, Vinyl, Octavia, and Techno are in the room next to them, Rainbow Dash and Storm Chaser are in the room next door to Rarity, Appleseed and I stay, and you two get the master bedroom upstairs."

"Thanks so much, Applejack." Twilight said.

"Of course, you know how much couples need their space."

Doctor: (Applejack) The last thing I want to see is ya gettin’ it on.

Ditzy: Wait, if that is the case, why don’t Vinyl and Octavia have their own room?

"Yeah, okay, thanks again, Applejack."

Ditzy: (Twilight) Don’t wink at me like that, nothing is going to happen!

We walked up to the room that Applejack had mentioned earlier. It looked very cozy. There was a large bed in the middle of the room, a desk in the corner, writing supplies already there, there was more decor that we didn't recognize.

Doctor: They were bizarre, like something out of Wackyland.

"Well this is nice." I mentioned to Twilight.

Doctor: Said in a way that makes me think it’s absolutely awful.

Ditzy: No need to be so polite Violet.

"It is, even has a whole bookshelf full of magic spells." She pointed out.

Ditzy: None of which I bet will actually mean anything.

"Woah, how'd I miss that of all things."

"I don't know. Maybe you're just not that good at spotting books." She teased.

"Maybe not."

Doctor: (Violet) Books are those things you sit in right?

"Well, before we get off task, do you think the Elements will even work?"

Doctor: Based on what do you have your doubts about the Elements failing?! Explain your reasoning already!

Ditzy: They beat Discord, Lord of Chaos!

"I hope so, because if they don't, then we will have to result in an all out battle, which I don't want."

Ditzy: No kidding. I just want this fic over with already!

"They'll work, they have to."

We layed on the bed, snuggling with each other.

"So, who do you think of all the group is the cutest together?" I asked, changing the subject.

Doctor: Yes, don’t focus on your problems. Go on about irrelevant nonsense no one cares about.

She giggled at the sudden change, but answered, "Definitely your brother and Pinkie."

I giggled too, "Yeah, they are cute."

Doctor: Maybe if you actually developed their romance I might think that.

"So what do you want to do when this whole thing blows over?"

All: A trip to Disneyland!

"Hmm. Well, I've always wondered who's faster, me or Rainbow Dash."

She merely laughed. "Twenty Bits says you lose."

Doctor: This really hurt Violet’s feelings.

"You're on, let's just wait until all this is over."

Ditzy: (Violet) Stop laughing!

She leaned in and kissed me, we kissed several times before, but this was really the best.

All: (Yawns)

I felt a tear run down my cheek.

Doctor: She saw a pony littering outside the window.

Twilight seemed to have noticed, because she broke the kiss.

"What's wrong, Violet?"

"I'm just so happy I'm with the one pony I love the most."

All: (Belching)

We leaned in and kissed again, I wouldn't know what I would do if she was gone.

All: We get it already! You love each other!

We stayed like this until we were interrupted by knocking at the door.

Ditzy: Thank Celestia almighty! All they ever talk about is how much they love each other.

"Come in." Twilight said.

The door opened to reveal the small filly who was with Rainbow Dash. Her purple mane slightly messy.

Ditzy: (Violet) You comb that mane right this instance little missy!

"Umm. Hi, sorry to interrupt you. I'm Scootaloo. And Rainbow Dash was telling me all these great stories about you two and all your competition you two had in flight school.

Ditzy: (Scootaloo) You lost 101 to 1. She said you were the most laughable racer she has ever faced.

Is it true you were the only one that came close to Rainbow Dash? Is it true you almost beat her in a race?"

Ditzy: (Scootaloo) When she was sick with Feather Flu.

I walked up to her and stroked her mane, "Yup, it's all true, and one day, I will try to beat her.

Doctor: I thought you didn’t remember anything about her.

She smiled and walked back out the room, shutting the door behind her.

"Looks like you have a new fan." Twilight said.

Ditzy: Starting the Violet Arrow fan club no doubt.

"Yeah, everypony admired my ability to keep up with Rainbow. I was the only one that could compete. So we became friends."

Doctor: Ahem, and I quote, “Rainbow Dash... where have I heard that name before? Was she an old friend from flight school? Were we enemies? I can't remember.”.

"I still say you can't beat her."

"I may not be able to beat her, but I sure as hay can try."

Doctor: And then we can all find amusement ni your miserable failure.

"Whatever, let's get some rest."

"Fine." I layed next to her and shut my eyes.

We were interrupted again by knocking on the door.

Doctor: (Violet) Oh for the love of...

"Come in." Twilight said.

The door opened to reveal this time, all three of the fillies. Applebloom spoke first.

"Sorry for interrupting you again, but we are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and we were wondering if you could tell us the story of how you got your cutie mark."

I giggled at the sudden request.

Doctor: It was a violent horrible story.

It has been a long time since I've told anypony how I got my cutie mark. I glanced back to my cutie mark, it was a violet bow and arrow, but I still remember the story as if it was yesterday.

Doctor: It was actually last Tuesday.

"Okay, I'll tell you three, but take a seat." Once they settled down, I began the story. "Well, it all started in flight school with Rainbow Dash, as you know, we were best friends.

Ditzy: Except not.

Doctor: Friends as in you were that one annoying kid that wouldn’t stop challenging her to races.

Anyway, I had read a few books about archery, the art of shooting bows and arrows." I pulled out my bow and handed it to the fillies. "This one, is my first bow, I made it myself.

Doctor: The Crusaders gave a bewildered look at how poorly made it was.

But I practiced everything it said in the book, posture, how to aim it, steady breathing, but I never managed to hit the target.

Ditzy: (Violet) Accidently crippled my uncle for life with a stray shot.

But, I kept trying, and with a lot of persistence, I finally did it, but not only that, it went through the target, shattering the whole thing.

Ditzy: (Violet) A piece accidentally blinded a nearby pony in one eye for life.

I don't know how I did it, but it did. I then noticed that something was different about my flanks,

Doctor: (Violet) I need to go on a diet.

I had finally gotten my cutie mark."

"Wow, such an amazing story." Said Scootaloo.

All: Not really.

Doctor: Seems a little standard and dull to me.

"Yeah," Shouted Applebloom.

"Umm, do you think you could teach us to do that?" Said Sweetie Belle.

"Of course, but not now, I'll have to make you each your own bows."

All: No! Bad idea!

"Yay!!" They all shouted, "Thank you, Violet."

They left the room, clearly excited for the lessons to start.

Doctor: Which they will give up fifteen minutes later when the fail and realize archery isn’t their special talent.

"Those fillies, they never stop trying." I heard Twilight say.

"They're just fillies, they'll learn someday."

All: Someday.

"But not today." She let out a sigh. "Violet, what do you think life will be like after all this is over?"

Ditzy: The world will be in ruins and gangs of violent thugs with mohawks will wander around the barren world and terrorize the countryside taking and killing whatever they want.

"I don't know, it'll never be the same again, but we will recover."

.

Doctor: Too bad we can’t see the damage the zombie apocalypse is causing

We snuggled closer to each other on the bed, Twilight leaned her head on my shoulder.

"I love you, Violet."

"I love you too, Twilight"

Doctor: At least they aren’t using stupid pet names like Schmoopy-Doo.

Ditzy: What’s wrong with Schmoopy-Doo?

This day is done,

Doctor: At 6 o’clock.

and we live to fight another day,

Ditzy: You can do it right now! What’s stopping you!?

the final battle is imminent.

Ditzy: (Hums One Winged Angel)

We will defeat this enemy, or die trying.      

                Author's Note:

Another chapter. Almost done! Just the final battle and then it's done. But if you want me to make a sequel, I will. But it will just be life afterwards. Recovery, New experiences, a bunch of stuff like that.

Ditzy: Sounds ever more boring.

Doctor: Yes, because we care so much about these characters.

But if  you want me to write a sequel, then say so. I'm willing to continue the story. But I have to finish this one first.

Ditzy: Hey, maybe the author will lose interest like twow443 did!

Doctor: If we could be so lucky.

Next Chapter: Episode 14 - The Beginning of the End - Chapter 11 Estimated time remaining: 18 Hours, 5 Minutes
