The Doctor broke off the kiss with Twilight, "I'm sorry, but I can't." he said and looked down.
"What?" Twilight chimed in, "No Doctor, I was just following the tradition," She raised her hoof to the ceiling, when the Doctor looked up and saw the mistletoe.

"Oh, yes of course." He suddenly got a flashback of Amelia Pond. "Well then goodnight Twilight see you in the morning!" he said and returned to his box. "Ah, another happy holiday." he said to himself. He strolled over to the controls and punched in the codes for the next day. 'God i love that noise' he thought as the engines began to move. He stepped out and saw his seven companions. "I've had a lot to think about over these past few days," he said to them, "and i want you all to look down into your hearts and ask yourself, do you want to come with me, a murderer, a scoundrel, a thief?" he looked deep into their eyes.

"I'm in," Spike said, surprising the Doctor.
"Did i mention the first one to speak gets to fly the TARDIS?" he looked down at spike who got a look of glory in his eye.

"Second one gets a Fez," he looked at Rarity, who instantly backed away but Pinkie pie stepped forward.

"I want one!" she shouted, the Doctor still being disappointing in Rarity spoke to them.
"Well Pinkie clearly you know whats cool and whats not!" he stuck his tongue out at Rarity.

"Well if you think that's cool than I simply must come with you." she smiled at him.
"Fluttershy, come here," he said in a puppy dog eyed sort of way "There are all sorts of critters out there."

"Oh-okay." and she stepped next to him.
"AJ, we need someone to make quips at Rarity." The Doctor laughed.

"Shucks of course i'll come along with y'all."
"Twilight?" He looked at her.

Twilight had already teleported next to him.
"Dash, I know we've had our troubles but I am as faithful as ever." He said.

"I don't believe you," was her answer, "so your going to have to prove it to me."
"Then your all officially my companions, let's go!" The Doctor said.
