It was about mid-afternoon when the Whooves and Ed arrived at the family's home. The house wasn't exactly what Ed was expecting. It was blue, of coarse, but other than that its was a normal two stories house with a gabled roof. There was a short staggered stone pathway that lead up to the front door from the street up through the yard. While the yard was surrounded by a typical white picket fence.

Once Derpy had finished giving Ed the tour of the interior of the house she and Dinky went to the kitchen to start preparing snacks and tea for everyone. While they did this Ed and Time Turner adjourned to his study down the hall. It was similar to an old study you'd see in an old black and white movie. There were two chairs facing a fire place with a round table that came up to knee high in between them. As they enter the room Time Turner took a seat and motioned for Ed to join him.

As Ed took his place across from Time Turner he began to wonder if he would be willing to help him with his plans. Ed did have a few trust thanks to the events of the past. But he was willing to for go them if it was for the chance to help others. This didn't mean he wasn't going to be cautious though, but Time Turner had already proven himself to be more than trustworthy by explaining about the Displaced and even freely giving him the token he found. Without any farther delay Ed decided it was time to get down to business.

“Alright Doctor I'm just gonna get straight to the point.” Ed said in a serious tone as he leaned forward.

“I want to open an automail clinic here in Ponyville and I would like your help with it. You see I wanted to opened one before my untimely imprisonment, but the resources I required back then were extremely hard to obtain for my own prosthetics.” Ed stated as pulled up his sleeve to reveal his metal arm.

“And since a pretty sizable amount of time has passed since then trade and economy have progressed to the point to where it would be much easier to do so.” said Time Turner.

“If you don't mind me asking. Why didn't you just use the Philosopher's Stone to make yourself whole after you came here?” asked Time Turner.

“I did try but the I found out the stone can only heal the wounds and afflictions of others and cant directly alter my body. Once, I didn't even have it around my neck and I had Celestia blast a hole straight through my chest to test a theory I had at the time.” Ed said as grimly looking at the floor.

“What exactly forced this?” said Time Turner rearing from shock.

“My worst nightmare at the time. That I was no longer human but a living Philosopher's Stone.” Ed said bringing his gaze back up to they time pony.

“Time for tea.” sang a female voice.

It was Derpy she as she brought in small tray with a kettle and cups on it.

“And muffins.” said Dinky as she followed behind her mother with a plate of muffins.

“Any ways back to what I was saying, I think between the two of us Ponyville would be the best start for this and if it's successful then I'll be able to start to lay the ground work to start a school to train other in the years to come.” Ed said as Derpy and Dinky left the room.

“I don't see why not. It is to help those who are in need right.” said Time Turner.

“Excellent.” exclaimed Ed.

Who then proceeds to get up and walk over to the time pony.

“Think of this as a crash course in automail engineering,” Ed said as he clap his hands together and the touched Time Turner's head.

There was a spark and the pony fell limp in his chair for a brief moment but was soon back to normal.

“Woo! That was a bit of a trip in and of itself.” exclaimed the time pony.

“Believe me, I know what you mean. Now how about we enjoy a break with some tea and muffins.” Ed said.
Sitting back down picking up a teacup and a muffin, then a portal opened behind him. Ed then fell backwards through the portal with his muffin and tea.
