A/N: Welcome to my second story. This, like the first one, was co-written with my younger sister. How many of you guys watched the 100th episode of MLP? I lost it when Doctor Whooves came out wearing Four's scarf. Here's a dramatic sound-bite from that moment: "HE SAID IT! HE SAID ALLONS-Y! AND HE'S WEARING THE SCARF! AHHHHHASDFGHJKLASDFGHJKLASDFGHJKL!" I'm not kidding. That's what I was like. So, please enjoy this MLP/DW-centric one-shot, inspired by that episode. The amount of Doctor Who references will be insane, I assure you.
Celestia had just risen the sun when it happened.
It was already shaping up to be a strange day, even by his standards.
Maybe he was just getting old.
His eyes snapped open as a loud voice echoed through his workshop.
"Doc! Wake up!"
Drunken with sleep, Doctor Whooves mumbled, "Yes, reverse the polarity of the pancake flow. Wibbly wobbly murklesnuff. An apple a day keeps the-"
"Doc! Seriously, something's happening again!" the familiar voice continued frantically.
At this, Doctor Whooves' head flew up, various papers stuck to his face. He stumbled backward, lost his balance and fell into a pile of discarded fob watches.
"Er. Yes, Derpy, what is it?" he called, peeling his notes of his face. He stood, nudging one of the watches with his hoof. It flickered with light for a moment, whispering, before returning to a seemingly lifeless state. "Well, blimey. I hope that's not anyone I know," Doctor Whooves muttered.
"Doc, there's a giant glowing eyeball in the sky," Derpy answered. "And all the lights in the library just went out. I was just there and it is like, pitch black. Pretty creepy, right?"
Doctor Whooves' eye twitched slightly. "Anything else? Did a statue follow you here, perhaps? Or how about a fat potato creature with a gun?"
Derpy thought. "No. But I saw a pony made of metal screech 'Delete' at Princess Twilight's dragon. Scared the living daylights out of him."
Doctor Whooves rubbed his face. "Couldn't they have waited until after my nap?" he asked the ceiling. The gray pegasus danced around nervously.
"What are we gonna do? The princess isn't here, and you haven't fixed your magic box yet!"
Doctor Whooves glanced over at the tall blue box in question. "Yes, well. Old girl needs a break, is all."
"How can you be so calm? Ponyville is being attacked by hideous monsters!" Derpy gasped as Doctor Whooves rummaged around in a bin. He pulled out a pair of 3D glasses and stuck them on his face with a triumphant smile.
"There you are," he cooed. "Not a scratch on ya."
Derpy could only stare at him open-mouthed. She had known the doctor was eccentric, but this was ridiculous.
"Oh, don't worry, Derp," he called, nose buried in a box of random junk. "I have a plan." He pulled out a screwdriver, scrutinizing it carefully. Then he licked it and made a face.
"Not sonic enough," he grumbled, tossing it away.
He spotted something at the bottom of the box that made his face positively light up. Derpy stared at him as he pulled out a ball of string and proceeded to kiss it happily.
"Derpy. Do you, by any chance, have a tea kettle at home?"
Derpy blinked. "Uh, sure. Why?"
He grinned at her. "I told you. I have a plan."
END.
A/N: So. What did you think of that? Did you get all the references? The tea kettle/string bit is from a DW mini episode called Time Crash. Look it up on YouTube if you haven't seen it, 'cause it's hilarious. Please review!
