"This is wonderful! How does it work? It´s the booth moving or it remains fixed in one spot while time flows around it? But it´s that the case, how does it works backwards?"

"Please Twilight Sparkle, don´t try to explain it. It takes away all the fun," the Doctor said.

"Bu-"

"The Doctor is right, Twilight! Who cares how a house with four kitchens work? It has four kitchens!" Pinkie Pie said, her face covered in chocolate cake.

"Why did you get the top hat?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I got lost in wardrobe."

"Applejack darling, are you all right?" Rarity asked.

"Small booth. Big House. Got it," she responded in a mechanical voice.

"Umh Mr. Doctor..."

"Please Fluttershy, I already told you half a dozen times, It´s just the Doctor. And, yes?"

"I was wondering, where are we going now?"

"Well, I´m so grateful to the six of you for saving my life back there with the Cyber-Ponies, that I decided to give you a reward. A no-charges trip to anywhere in the universe," he explained.

"You don´t need to do this, Doctor," Twilight said.

"I insists. Besides, is this or just coupons. Now, that sounds says we´ve arrived! Feel free to explore your surroundings, I´ll be in just a minute, just need to.." he said, digging into a chest that was under the panel.

"Come on AJ. Stop staring into space!" Rainbow yelled, adjusting her Wonderbolts cap.

"Space. Relative. In time."

Rainbow rolled her eyes and dragged her friends by the tail while Pinkie bounced around them.

"...find this! Aha! Now, before we move any further you need to...where are the others?" the Doctor asked, holding a fez.

"You told us to go outside," Rainbow said, still holding Applejack.

"Oh no no no, this is bad. Why do people always leave in the middle of my explanations?" he complained while rushing outside.

Meanwhile, Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy were already in the middle of what seemed to be a park. In a sense it resembled Ponyville, except the inhabitants were all different kind of animals, ranging from ducks to mouses.

"Such a colorful place," Rarity commented.

"Is more than that, it´s wonderful! It´s like my animal friends could finally talk and walk like we do!" Fluttershy chimed. She fluttered next to a duck buying a newspaper, "Excuse Mr. Duck, may I pat you?"

"Fluttershy! I´m terribly sorry, sir!" Twilight apologized, pushing Fluttershy aside. "Fluttershy, they´re not like your animals. You can´t treat them like that," she turned over to the duck. "I apologize again sir, my friend wasn´t trying to be disrespectful."

The duck just pointed at Twilight with a terrified look on his face.

"Is everything all right, sir?"

"A TALKING HORSE!" he yelled, much to her confusion.

" Twilight darling, I think we might have a little problem here..." Rarity said, pointing at the crowd of really scared and mad animals.

"I don´t get it. What´s the big deal about not wearing clothes?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Different cultures have different costumes. Some of them are not very tolerant to the idea of exposing yourself so lightly," the Doctor explained, trying to straighten his fez. "You can´t expect to go around here wearing nothing at all like you do in Ponyville."

"But you´re not wearing anything."

"On the contrary, I´m wearing a fez." The Doctor noticed her expression. "Yes, that´s enough around here. Haven't you noticed how everybody is wearing jackets without pants?"

Rainbow rolled her eyes again while Pinkie pointed over the other side of the park. "Look, there´s a party over there!"

Despite the distance, they were able to see the animals dragging her friends into cages. "I don´t think that's a party, Pinkie," Rainbow said.

"Oh goodness, this is what happens when you don´t bother to learn the local customs," the Doctor complained.

"What are we waiting for? Our friends need our help! Move along, ponies!" Applejack commanded, back to her old confident self now that she was in the open.

"I don´t understand. Why are you doing this?" Twilight asked the angry crowd.

"We can´t let a bunch of animals walk around like they´re normal people!" a police dog epxlained.

"Of coruse you can! Look, there´s a mule over there!" Twilight replied.

"That´s not a mule! That´s the mayor!" he said, while the monocle wearing mule raised a glass.

Defeated, Twilight went quiet as the animals raised the cage with the three of them inside.

"STOP!" The Doctor yelled, getting in front of the crowd. "You must stop this! You can´t treat them like this!"

"Why not? They´re animals!" the crowd replied.

"But aren´t we all animals? Under our jackets and hats and outdated sailor uniforms, we´re all animals but we can choose to live as people! If we kill like animals, we died like animals!"

The crowd went silent for a minute. It almost seemed like the Doctor words have reached them. Too bad his fez decided just then to drop off his head.

"Hey, he´s a horse too! GET HIM!"

"This place is crazy!" Twilight yelled.

"Hey, you´re the one who said let´s jump into the big blue box. No complains now," Rainbow said, trying to broke the lock in the cage.

After one swift kick did the trick, the ponies jumped down the street.

"Thank you girls. Now, we need to find a way to save the Doctor and leave this awful place," Twilight said, while a terrified Fluttershy clinged to Pinkie Pie.

"I got an idea! Rares, can you make a hat out of this?" Applejack asked, holding a newspaper.

"Please dear, I can make a hat out of anything!"

Just as the angry mob was ready to put the Doctor in a cage, Twilight yelled "Look, we have hats! We´re just like you!"

Despite how ridiculous they looked with paper hats, that seemed to do the trick, the angry mob dispelling.

"Well, that speech used to work. Twilight Sparkle, you look ridiculous with that hat," said the pony with a fez that kept sliding over his nose.

"Please Doctor, can you take us out of this awful place?"

"All right, I will. But let me remind you that you brought this problem over yourself. Next time, wait until I´m done explaining." She glared at him but the Doctor continued with his lecture. "Listening to me will come in handy next time. Now, since you seem to have problems with etiquette, I´ll take you somewhere where animals don´t need to worry about wearing any clothes at all."

"Doctor, we are in a zoo!" Twilight Sparkle yelled.

Behind her, Applejack tried to get her hat back from some monkeys while Rainbow had turned into the adopted baby of a large gorilla, much to her displeasure. The rest of the group divided between laughing or being worried.

"You know Twilight Sparkle, you complain too much."

(LOL, feel like writing something silly. Poor Twilight...)
