On one day that seemed just like any other day while walking back to the library Twilight turns to Spike

“Things really have slowed down since the Gala” she said

“I know,” said Spike “usually by now somepony is arguing over something or Pinkie is being... well Pinkie”.  Just as Twilight sighs she hears a strange noise from somewhere like she’s never heard before

“Did you hear that?” she said looking around “where is that sound coming from?” Spike just shrugs and says

“I don’t know but it’s probably not important”

“You’re right,” said Twilight “anyway I need to get back to studying”. After a short walk, they got back to the library, Twilight notices that the door is half open and when she looks in she sees a strange stallion going through the books and throwing them away saying “no” and “still not it”. After the initial shock wore off she tries to get his attention and after a few attempts he turns around.

“What are you doing here?” said the strange stallion

“I live here” said Twilight

“You live in a library?” he said with a puzzled look “well... I guess you won’t run out of things to read”.

“I’m Twilight Sparkle and you are?” said Twilight, still confused

“Oh sorry I forgot my manners,” he said “I’m the Doctor”

“Doctor who?” asked Twilight

“No just the Doctor” he said in a way that sounds like he says this a lot. After a few seconds of trying to figure out if he was making fun of her, Twilight remembers what she first saw

“What are you looking for?” she asks

“Something, heck anything that can explain this” he say while trying to point to himself

“Explain what?” asks Twilight, scratching her head

“Explain why I am a pony now” says the Doctor

“Wait what!?” exclaims Twilight

“Oh yeah right,” said the Doctor slapping his head and nearly falling from slight loss of balance “I need to bring up this part first”. The Doctor then turns around so he’s properly facing Twilight and says “I was in my TAR... ship just like normal except I was on my own, then there were a few explosions, also normal,  and then I’m knocked out by... something”.

“And then what?” asked Spike

“I’m getting to that!” said the Doctor “Then when I woke up I felt a little odd and when I tried to get back up I noticed my hands are now missing and that I now have hooves then after somehow getting the door open I found myself in this strange looking town”.

“If you’re not a pony then what are you?” Twilight asks with a slight hint of sarcasm

“I’m a Time Lord” said the Doctor

“And what does that look like?” asks Twilight

“Have you ever seen a Human?” asked the Doctor

“No” said Twilight “they’re just old pony’s tales” after a pause the Doctor says

“Right well if you’ve ever seen some kind of picture of one then I probably look like that”.

Still unsure about whether or not she should believe him, Twilight says

“Sorry I don’t think there’s a book here for that”

“Well, so much for that approach” said the Doctor as he leaves

“Wait!” said Twilight “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to have another go at using the controls on my ship with these hooves to see if I can at least find out what happened.” Then he starts to leave the library

“Maybe I can help?” asked Twilight, causing the Doctor to stop

“How?” he responded

“I can manipulate the controls with my unicorn magic,” says Twilight as she points out her horn

“just tell me what I need to do”.

“I was hoping you’d say something like that” said the Doctor with a smile. Then, as they leave the library, he remembers where he landed

“I remember leaving the ship over by some strangely edible looking building” he said

“Did you meet anypony else?” Asked Twilight, then the Doctor pauses for a moment because of the term anypony else then laughs a little

“Well there was this one strange pink pony but she just gasped and ran off” he said.

“That was Pinkie Pie” said Twilight as she rolled her eyes.

“At least I now know I don’t have to worry about that rather strange encounter” said the Doctor.

Not to long later they arrive at a strangely placed Police Box “Well, here it is” he said as he pats the door. Twilight paused for a moment.

“Is that really your ship?” She asked with a puzzled look

“Well, it’s a disguise,” said the Doctor “my ship scans the area it lands for the best disguise... then turns into a Police Box.”

“You first, Doctor” said Twilight. The Doctor opens the door just as some loud, crashing sounds came from within.

“What?” The Doctor pulls back, a confused expression on his face.

“What?”He looks inside again to make sure, frowning a little giving off one last “What?”

He shakes his head and enters, Twilight following out of curiosity;  when they both got in, Twilight sees Pinkie Pie and a crowd of partying ponies have somehow managed to get inside.

“Oh, hey Twilight!” said Pinkie as she waves to her “I see you met Doc here.”

“Do you do this to everypony you meet?” asked Twilight

“Do what?” replied Pinkie

“Never mind” said Twilight then she turns to the Doctor, “sorry about this, Doctor”

“Oh don’t worry about it” said the Doctor “I’m not really in a rush so I guess we have time for a party, Allons-y!” then before joining in he turns to Pinkie “Also it’s Doctor, not Doc” he said.

Okie dokie lokie!” she said as she ruffles he mane a little and then she happily hops off.
