"...and I learned to keep my hooves on the ground and be there for your friends. I apologize for ruining the competition, Derpy Hooves is really the best flyer in Equestria."

"I know that, Octavia. And that´s why I´m giving her the crown for Best Flier!"

Princess Celestia places the crown on Derpy´s head and her face is beaming with happiness. SOmepony touches her shoulder and she turns back to meet the Wonderbolts.

"Ohmygoodnesohmygoodnes.."

Soon an entire crown is surrounds her, lifts her up and chant her name. Among the cheers of the crowd, Derpy fails to notice the voice of one stallion trying to reach her.

***

Wake up.

****

"I´m sorry I let my compettive side get the best of me, Carrot Top. We almost ruin the Running of the Leaves."

"Don´ worry ´bout it, honeybun. Hey, whacha said we took a ride back home?"

"You bet!"

And off they go, running side by side; missing by this much one brown stallion who sighs, wishing for once not needing to run.

****

Please, wake up...

****

Derpy closes her eyes, waitinf for the boos and the mockery. Instead everypony starts stompign their hooves, cheering out loud.

Lyra comes over and jumps to hugh Derpy.

"They liked it!" Derpy saids.

"Told ya you have a beautiful voice!"

Derpy hugs Lyra back, knowing for sure that her life couldn't be any better.

****

Please, Derpy. Wake up.

"I can´t believe we´re invited to the Royal Wedding! I´m so excited!" Bon Bon said, jumping up and down.

"Thank you for the invitations, Lyra." Octavia said.

"He, guess being one the bridesmaids has advantages, eh Carrot?" Lyrai said, teasing her friend who just rolled her eyes over.

"Oh yeah! This party is going to be so awesoooome!!" Vinyl said, already wearing her glasses.

"Stop righ there!" suddenly a brown earth stallion gets in their way.

"Hey, what gives?" Lyra asks but the stallion turns his attention to Derpy.

"Derpy, you need to stop this!"

"derpy, are you acquaintance with this loud gentlecolt?" OCtavia ask but Derpy just shakes her head in denial.

"Hey, isn´t he the cute stallion form the clock store?" Bon Bon says.

"Oh yeah, the one the purple egghead has a crush on." Vinyl adds.

"Mr. Timeturn, ain´ it?" Carrot Top asks.

"Stop it! Shut up! None of you are important, you're not even real!" and he grabs Derpy by the shoulders. "You have to wake up! You need t-AGH!" Carrot grabs the stallion arm and push him to the ground, pinning him.

"Hold it right there partner! That´ no way to treat a lady!"

"Certainly, that was mostly rude." Octavia adds.

"De-derpy, you need to listen. We´re in terrible danger..."

"Wh-what do you mean?" Derpy asks.

"The TARDIS is heading straight to the sun. If you don´t wake up, we´re going to die..."

"What´s a TARDIS?" Bon Bon asks as Derpy starts to back down.

"Derpy, remember Manehattan? Remember the Daleks?"

"What´s he talking about?" Vinyl whispers to Octavia but she has no answers.

"Remember the dragon migration? Clover the Clever was really made that we ride a dragon right into Canterlot."

Carrot looked at Bon Bon searching for answer but the mare just shrugged.

"Remember the muffin you gave me? I kept it. For sixty years I kept it. Sixty years, trapped in a cave, starving, going delusional; but I didn't eat it, because I knew you´ll come back for me. And you did."

"Hey Derpy, yah ain´t gonna listen to what this crazy pony says, right?" Lyra asks but Derpy goes down to watch the stallion right into the eyes.

"I know you...right?" Derpy asks.

"Please, remember..."

"...Doctor?"

"Oh for Discord´s sake! Stop the drama!"

They both turn over to see a mysterious stallion walking to them. He looks pretty  much like the Doctor, except this one is a pale tone of brown and he has a thought balloon as a Cutie Mark.

"Get up from there. You´re embarrassing yourself." he says and both Derpy and the Doctor realized the other mares are frozen in place.

"Defeated by a girl. How the mighty have fallen..." and the mysterious stallion pokes the  Doctor tie.

"Who are you?" Derpy asks.

"Well, if he is Timeturner, you may call me Dreamcatcher. I´m the stallion of your dreams, dear Derpy...quite literally." upon seeing her confused face he explains. "Don't you remember? I offered you the chance to live your dreams, to have the life you've always wanted, where you have friends, fame, and nopony laughs at you. The only problems was Mr. Grumpy Pants here didn´t want you to leave so I have to put him to sleep."

"And with the Doctor gone the TARDIS is going down..." Derpy finally understands what was going on.

"Here´s the deal, sweetie. If you accept my offer, you can live in this perfect dream world. I will return both you and the Doctor to surface and he will be safe and sound but you will come with me."

"So you can feed on her energy forever?" the Doctor yells.

"YES!" and Dreamcatcher reveals his true color as a changeling. "The alternative is that both of you fall to a certain death. So what´s going  to be Derpy? Don't look at him. He can't help you. This decision is all up to you..."

Derpy takes a final look at her circle of friends and to the Doctor, forced to take an impossible decision.

"I choose..."

****

It took Princess Celestia all her magical powers to keep the sun in place, she was quickly running out of energy and time was running out.

"Look sister!" Luna says.

The tiny dot that was the blue barnbox burst open and a smaller grey dot flies away carrying a brown dot. LUna uses her magic to wrap Derpy and the Doctor in a safe bubble, providing air and heath. The Doctor manages to open one eye to see his beloved box burning in the sun surface.

"Goodbye..."

Derpy hughs the Doctor as the Princess carries them back to Equestria.
