What the Future Brings

The next day in his lair Shenron was finishing mixing his potions in a huge cauldron he had.

He took a large vial and then poured the potion into the vial. He growled as he drank it all, to most creatures the potion would have tasted revolting and or disgusting but Shenron having been drinking it for well over a thousand years had long gotten used to the taste.

After finishing it green flames was snorted from his nostrils as they were shot at a medium rock obliterating it.

"Looks like I am at full strength," Shenron laughed darkly smiling "and now it's time to make the third time the charm!"

*Twilight's library*

Twilight and Spike were looking through a scrapbook the older Twilight from the future timeline had made of photos of her life with Spike and Sparkfang.

They stopped at a page which had a crayon drawing on it; it was of Sparkfang and Twilight riding on Spike's back.

It was a drawing Sparkfang had made for his mother's birthday when he was two years old.

Twilight sighed, she was learning a lot about her future and the future of her friends. She was sad that she and her five friends would pass on but brightened when she found out they all had children who were still alive.

She also learnt that Shining Armor had been killed in battle defending Canterlot from Discord's army of Demon Eagles (Twilight decided the less she knew about the battle then the better) and Cadence being an allicorn was still alive helping her daughter Dazzler raise her own family.

Sparkfang was thinking about asking his younger father a question when he came across a picture of him next to Dazzler, he gotten along very well with his cousin and she was like a sister to him.

Though she was kind of annoying such as every time she visited or when he visited her, she would have a habit of trying to match him up with various mares and female dragons causing him to decline all but still be friends with many of them, after all…Dinky Pie and Firefly could not be his only friends.

"Can I ask you something Sparkfang" asked Twilight facing her future son.

"Yes mom?" asked Sparkfang facing away from the spell book he was reading to glance at his mother who eyes held love but a bit of nervousness for something that made her son go rigid with fear.

"Did I ever tell you about the special creed your aunt Cadence and I made??" asked Twilight licking her lips to speak properly.

Sparkfang froze after hearing that, his mom did teach him that. Truth be told he really hated it but he done it with her because it made her happy, and for him. That was all he could ever ask for….then he wondered as to where both his fathers were as they seem to disappear from the unicorn's and hybrid's view.

"Great, just when I need him…he's gone!" Sparkfang growled lightly before releasing a loud sigh then looking at his mother in the eyes once more, his face emotionless.

"You think we can do it?" asked Twilight sheepishly.

"Very well...." sighing Sparkfang using his magic to put away the spell book and was now facing his mom who had put the scrapbook and was now standing on the ground with a large grin on her face, her eyes shining with happiness.

"Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake, clap your hooves and do a little shake" Twilight and Sparkfang said at the same time doing the dance that went along with it, although Sparkfang did it unenthusiastically.

Afterwards Sparkfang rolled his eyes with a small grin on his face; he knew that even though he hated the dance, he sort of enjoyed the song…long as it was not in public…anything for his mother though.

They then saw Firefly and Rainbow Dash at the front door, both then fell to the floor laughing…very hard. Fluttershy was with them and she thought in her head that it looked cute as she smiled at the family.

"Firefly I swear to Celestia if you let word get out of that, then I am going to tear your wings clean off with my bare claws!" growled Sparkfang, his dragon traits showing with annoyance as Firefly rolled her eyes and started laughing even harder, tears streaming from her eyes as Rainbow Dash held her sides with her front hooves, trying to breathe, Twilight frowning at the display but not speaking.

Spike Sparkle who was outside was watching the scene play before him with an amused look on his face. They then heard the very ground moving and the sound of wings flapping in the air.

"Oh no!" they spoke as one having a good idea of what was responsible.

*Sugarcube Corner*

".........and after we were done with the T-rex's we managed to get back to Ponyville just in time for the annual dragon appreciation festival" laughed Dinky explaining to Rarity, Pinkie and Applejack one of the adventures he had with Sparkfang and Firefly.

Pinkie started clapping while Rarity and Applejack just stared with wide eyes.

"Did you understand any of that Rarity?" asked Applejack.

"Not........a.............WORD!" Rarity exclaimed as Pinkie whistled.

"Now let me tell you all how Equestria was made, maybe even how I got my Cutie Mark" she grinned as Dinky nodded with eagerness.

The ponies then felt the ground moving and looked out the window to see more dragons than ever invading the small town.

"The insurance companies must make a fortune here in Ponyville" said Dinky; apparently stuff such as this attack was the norm now in Ponyville.

Meanwhile Twilight, the younger Spike and Sparkfang were running about trying to help as Spike Sparkle was fighting the dragons again burning their wings as they were forced to land before attacking them with fangs bared in rage.

Shenron was seen and used the magic from his green snouts to put them all four in a cage. Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Firefly were flying about trying to help the Pegasuses.

Spike Sparkle snarled as he once again saw his father who spotted him and flew back down to him. At this time Princess Celestia and the Royal Canterlot Guard had arrived.

A lone male dragon smirked spotting the cage with the hybrid abomination in it, he was about to shear the creature when he was blinded by a blue light.

Then appeared a blue police box on the ground in front of all the creatures before it, it opened as out came a blond maned Pegasus with silver fur and golden colour eyes which were uneven.

Twilight and Spike gasped recognizing her, for it seemed to be Derpy Hooves who had not aged a day since their own timeline except for a few wrinkles near her eyelids.

"Just our luck" Derpy chuckled "after saving the day again we go home to find ourselves in a dragon invasion!"

Coming after the mare was Derpy's unicorn daughter Dinky Whooves looking just a little younger than Twilight herself and her older sister Sparkler now a fully grown mare instead of being in her late teens in the Mane Six's timeline.

Then out came an unfamiliar looking male earth pony. He had brown fur, a brown mane, a red bow tie and a brown scarf with a brown fedora on his head.

His Cutie Mark was of an hourglass, Twilight and Spike gasped even further recognizing that particular Cutie Mark: it couldn't be him, could it?

"Who are you?" asked the large dragon snarling at the ponies.

"Funny you should ask" chuckled the earth pony who then held up his front left hoof showing he was holding a sort of silver pen like gadget he called his Sonic Screwdriver despite the fact he had no thumbs

"For I......am the Doctor!"
