The Doctor and Derpy were walking to breakfast. After a long day, and night of running from everything imaginable, it was time for some well deserved sustenance.

"So Doctor," Derpy started, her eyes askew, "You came from a different universe where everything was, different?"

"Indeed. I've no idea how my TARDIS got me here mind you, but I'm not going to complain. This place is BRILLIANT!" The Doctor chuckled to himself. Indeed the whole reason for traveling was to see things he had never seen before, and our dear Time Lord found one heck of a jackpot. Sure, he had been to parallel universes before, sometimes by accident, but they were always only a slight to moderate variation of his very own. Back when Gallifrey was at the height of power, traveling between them was child's play. He however, had never heard of any universe where the sentient races were talking ponies. Talking. Ponies. He laughed at that. He probably would never get used to the idea of wherever he had ended up.

"But Doctor," Derpy continued, her face now scrunched up and her eyes filled with a never before seen determination, "If you came here, doesn't that mean others can come to? Ponies who are, you know... not nice?"

"My dear Derpy, there is nothing to fear. The walls between parallel worlds are closed. That's how I have no idea how my TARDIS got me here, it shouldn't even be possible." Of course with The Doctor, he didn't feel he was having a good day until he did ten 'impossible' things. His TARDIS had a uncanny habit of doing the impossible as well.

"So how many of these different universes are there Doctor?" Derpy looked at him with a questioning gaze. Well, with one eye anyway, the other seemed to be doing whatever it is that it does, which was whatever it wanted.

"Infinite. There are an infinite number of different parallel worlds Derpy," The Doctor replied with a wink.

Derpy scrunched her face up in thought. An infinite number was a hard number to think about. The gray mare with a blond mane thought hard about it, but couldn't wrap her head around the concept. "Whats an infinite Doctor?" Derpy asked hopefully, seeking an answer her mind couldn't calculate.

"Billions, upon trillions of trillions of billions. The number of stars in the sky doesn't even come close. Literally, infinite means my dear companion, a number without end. It just keeps going and going." The Doctor smiled as he watched the face of dear Derpy slowly grasp the concept, fill her eyes with starlight, and put a grin on her face.

"That's a whole awful lot Doctor!"

"Indeed it is my dear Derpy," The Doctor simply replied, as they approached Sugar Cube Corner. Taking lead, he approached, opened the door to the shop and held it as a gentlepony would for a mare. "So whats for breakfast Derpy?"

Her eyes were still filled with brightness from grasping the concept of infinity. However The Doctor looked at her grin widen from ear to ear and her expression change to one that she showed often: Derpy had an idea. Had it been any other pony, they would have pulled out pillows, ducked for cover, or simply ran for the hills. The Doctor wasn't any other pony: He was The Doctor. A seemingly ageless god of Time and Space. It was moments like this that the Doctor lived for, seeing ordinary humans, or in this case, ponies, become something so much more. He looked on in anticipation, waiting for the seemingly clueless mare to come up with something; something brilliant. What happened next fell short, by a lot more than just a long shot.

"INFINITE MUFFINS," Derpy exclaimed, adamant to have every single muffin ever.

But The Doctor grinned. He learned to live for these moments too. Silliness, clumsiness, and a downright determination to do the impossible, even when she didn't understand how impossible it was, was so damn cute.

"Infinite muffins it is then. Allons-y!" The door to Sugar Cube Corner shut, and the street was left empty.

But this isn't about the Doctor and Derpy. The Knights of Time and Space. That's a story for a different day, if ever at all. The adventures of those two, across all of the cosmos? The Beginning of Time itself, all the way to the end of Equestria? This wordsmith is no where near capable of doing that story justice.

No, our, intermission takes us to one of those very universes The Doctor and Derpy spoke so briefly about. For all intents and purposes, I will label this universe .643921232. In a way, that doesn't do it justice. It's just a random number off the top of my head. At the same time though, a random sequence of numbers does this very universe a very great justice. For you see, this universe's laws were complete chaos. Discord was turned to stone for trying to bring order here, to put things in perspective. Our story continues where the previous chapter left off, in a situation almost identical to the one we just left. It would have been spot on had it not been for a cowering Rainbow Crash and a very angry Flutterassert.

I digress.

I could go on all day pointing out the other slight differences such as the fact that Twilight Sparkle was a slightly different shade of purple, or how the Ponyville library was a fossilized tree, but I have no interest in retelling events in a slightly different manner. Our story now takes us to the prissy pink walls of Canterlot Castle and the guard Golden Shower.

Yes it means exactly what you think. NO I will NOT be elaborating. What a pony does in the privacy of one's barracks, or in the middle of the Castle Guard Training Grounds with every other guard is his own business.

Golden Shower was running, as fast as his legs could carry him. He reeked of sweat and other bodily fluids which will not be named. What ever it was he was doing with Private Make It Rain was for only the two of them to know. He was angry, to be sure, having been interrupted by Wonderbolt Ensign Roid Rage; but it could not be helped. It was a matter of the utmost importance. Princess Trollestia MUST BE INFORMED.

Wonderbolt Ensign Roid Rage was brand new to the force, and as such was assigned a mundane tasking: Observe Twilight Sparkle and report any suspicious activities. After the incident involving a seemingly harmless Don't-Need-Anything-Want-Anything spell which turned the entire town of Ponyville into a oasis of what you or I would consider normal, in order to file a report on the Magic of Chaos to Princess Trollestia; a single Wonderbolt was on constant guard to ensure such order never again returned to the Solar Empire.

Golden Shower approached the throne room, and in what can best be described as a brilliant move of ballerina skill and prowess, pivoted on his right for-hoof, did a perfect 180 spin and connected both rear hooves to the throne doors, which fell straight down, crushing a pair of Griffin Emissaries who were unfortunate enough to be in the way of the giant falling doors. The guard on the right of the door pulled out a 10 card from seemingly nowhere, as the guard on the left shook his head and pulled out an 8.5.

The single stallion entered Her Royal Majesty Princess Trollestia's throne room, and belted out the exclamation as loud as he could.

"CODE: TARDY!!!"

Princess Trollestia spit out the banana she was deep throat-ing, in practice for the semi-weekly Sex Games Competition, having almost choked herself on it. Her bag of banana's were tossed carelessly onto the floor, scattering the contents everywhere. The banana's promptly exploded with confetti when they collided with anything non-pony. All that remained was the empty bag, and a formerly hidden Pinkie Pie Special bright blue double-ended dildo. Trollestia had greater concerns than her favorite toy laying on the dirty floor. Her majestic bright pink body stiffened as she gazed upon The Button.

The Button was just that, a great, big, threatening button which must not be pressed under any circumstances. It was the deepest shade of red, and was to her immediate right, sitting upon a pedestal made entirely of cheesecake (in case she got hungry). It was covered by a glass shell. She bemoaned for a moment, not wanting glass to get into her perfectly edible cheesecake, causing the entire tower to be inedible; but only for a moment. With the power, and might, befitting such a great dictator, she smashed the glass, shattering it, and pressed The Button in one single motion.

A great and powerful klaxon began to blare. Every window in the castle, even the stunning stained glass ones adorning her throne room, changed to purple, and a pulsing image of Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark could be seen flickering at random intervals. Guards began running about the palace, screaming in terror. One was later to be found in a puddle of his own excrement, having dropped dead of fear. At the moment though, true chaos reigned and the Princess was loving it.

"TO PONYVILLE! Sparkle must be stopped!" Princess Trollestia decreed, using the Royal Canterlot Voice.

It was immediately after her royal decree that the throne room simply exploded in to a giant fireball without a single warning.

Princess Trollestia would consider it the greatest day of her life for centuries to come.

Author's Notes:

I REGRET NOTHING!

This entire chapter is dedicated to CDR and his comment. I know I said maybe next time, but I think this works out great.

No pre-readers or editors for this chapter. It was all me, so I shoulder all blame for however horrible it is.

As for Softy8088's comment as to why it was labeled "mature," and why not change it, I think I can safely say it is now and forever to be marked as mature.

Seeing as how this story is based upon the one liner at the end of Complicated Relations, and how this chapter is based upon the one liner from CDR, I think it is in carrying on with the tradition of this story and therefore belongs in the storyline even though it barely has any relevance whatsoever. I just hope I don't get labeled as a writer of stories based on one liners.

And to be perfectly clear, this 'intermission' has nothing to do with the story A Very Complicated Situation. It is its own entity which is a one-shot based on the idea CODE: TARDY!!! by CDR. CODE: TARDY is based upon chapter one however, and therefore fit very loosely as a intermission. I simply didn't want to try to create a whole new story for what was essentially just a scarcely worded one-shot spin-off parody. To put your mind at ease, Have a brief preview of Chapter Two (not edited as of yet, contents subject to change)

"Rainbow!" Twilight's face shot up from the book she was skimming, eyes widening in a form of shock. "Language! You are not bucked," the sound of the book snapping shut cut the purple librarian off short. She had not realized she commanded the book to close, and the noise shocked her. "I told you, I'm going to fix it!" The book fell to the floor, no longer levitated with the spell-casters magic power, as her left eye unfocused on Rainbow Dash, growing larger than the other one.
