Adventures of Dr. Whooves: Pride Lands Mayhem!

A/N: (Dede42 heads into the backyard and stares when she sees Pinkie Pie chasing Rarity around with familiar torture devices.)

Dede42: Um…

Pinkie Pie: You broke your Pinkie Promise! You never break a promise!

Rarity: I'm sorry! Waaahhh!

Dede42: (spots Timon and Pumbaa near the door of the writers studio) Why is Pinkie Pie chasing Rarity, and what's this about a broken promise?

Timon: Rarity said that the first revised chapter for Pride Lands Mayhem would be posted today and it wasn't.

Dede42: (rolls her eyes) Geez, I take a nap to recover from working until after midnight at work and the whole world goes raving mad!

Pumbaa: If the first chapter gets posted, then maybe Pinkie Pie will stop chasing Rarity.

Timon: (snorts) What a stupid idea. Wait-

Dede42: Good idea, Pumbaa.

Timon: Hey!

Dede42: Hay is for horses, let's get that chapter posted to end this madness for today at least.

Timon and Pumbaa: Ok!

Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE: TRIP AND LIGHTS

It was a bright, sunny day in Ponyville and Derpy was flying through the sky on her way to visit her newest friend, the resident time keeper known as Dr. Hooves. She knew, however, that this particular pony was a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, and she was keeping his secret since she knew that it was his secret to share.

Humming to herself, Derpy landed before the door, knocked on it a few times, and then she let herself into the house, where she headed straight to the lab.

In the lab, Dr. Hooves was lying on his back, his upper half hidden under a steampunk-looking machine, and he was tinkering with the wiring while quietly singing to himself. "I don't want to set the world on fire!"

Bang! Smoke came out from under the machine, followed by Dr. Hooves, coughing violently as he sat up, his face covered with soot. "Well that shouldn't have happen," he grumbled, looking around for a cloth when the door opened and Derpy entered. "Hello, Miss Derpy, could you find me a cloth so I may clean my face."

"Ok." Derpy found a reasonably clean cloth and handed it to the Time Lord, who proceeded to clean his face off as he stood up. "Whatcha working on?" she asked, nodding to the still-smoking machine.

Dr. Hooves sighed, shooting the machine a disappointed look while tossing the dirty cloth aside. "Well, this machine was suppose to be able to detect strange readings not related to magic," he explained, "but it decided to die on me instead." He shook his head. "Now I'll have to start all over again."

"Anything I can do to help?" Derpy inquired and followed the Time Lord when he went to some bins to start collecting items needed to rebuild the machine. "I don't know much about machines, but I can provide you with any tools you might need."

"I do need that box of gears from up there," said Dr. Hooves, pointing to a box on a high shelf.

Eagerly, Derpy flew up and retrieved the box. "Here, anything else?"

Smiling, Dr. Hooves instructed her on what else he needed as he got rid of the damaged parts from the machine, and began rebuilding the interior. "Here are some other things I need…"

A few hours later, Dr. Hooves and Derpy were taking a break from working on the machine when he realized that he was missing a vital piece. "Darn!" he muttered, looking through a box filled with different kinds of crystals. "I'm all out of Chrysoberyl crystals."

"Maybe Rarity has some of those Chrysoberyl crystals, Doc," Derpy suggested. "She uses a lot of different kinds of gems with the clothes she designs."

Dr. Hooves shook his head. "No, no, unfortunately Chrysoberyl crystals aren't found anywhere in Equestria," he said and sighed. "Looks like we'll have to take a trip to a place where I can find them."

"We?" Derpy repeated eagerly.

"Yes, Miss Derpy, you and I are going on a trip," Dr. Whooves confirmed, straightening his bowtie, which was blue today. "To the TARDIS!"

Minutes later, they were inside the time machine, where Dr. Whooves was programing their destination into a computer on the console. "Now, one of the best places to find Chrysoberyl crystals is in parts of Africa," he explained, moving around at a fast pace. "Problem is that it is in a different dimension and gaining access to those places isn't easy."

"So, how do we get to Africa?" Derpy asked, hovering over his shoulder to watch him work.

Without look, Dr. Whooves tugged on her tail so that she ended up in the chair, and he held up a clear, bluish crystal. "By using a Star Crystal," he informed her, inserting it into the console. "Using this, we can travel between universes without using up too much energy, and now… off to Africa!" He pulled a lever, and the column in the center began moving.

They were off!

The sun was setting in the Pride Lands and meerkat named Timon and a warthog named Pumbaa were watching the sunset together so that they could watch the stars appear in the nigh sky. Although they were living in the Pride Lands with their own cave in Pride Rock, they still preferred to stay in outdoor spaces, and they were planning on returning to the jungle to check on the other meerkats that had gone to live there after Scar and the hyenas had been defeated.

"How much longer until the stars come out, Timon?" Pumbaa asked while relaxing on his back on the hillside.

"The stars should be coming out soon, ol' pal," Timon replied, also relaxing on his back and he was looking forward to their fun, ongoing, debate of whether the stars were actually fireflies stuck in the sky or balls of gas.

Just as the sun finished setting and the first stars started coming out, there was a sudden flash of light high above them, startling them. They both jumped to their feet and watched with wide eyes as there were more flashes of light, ranging from shades of blue and green to purple and red. Along with the flashes of colorful light, there were noises starting up, too.

"What's going on up there, Timon?" the warthog asked, feeling uneasy.

"I don't know, Pumbaa," the meerkat answered as the light display continued, and yelped when there was a particularly bright flash of blue/green light and something shot across the sky. "Look!"

They watched, their jaws hanging open as more objects appeared with each flash of colored light, and soon the strange objects were flying above their heads. They followed the objects with their eyes and saw that they were crash landing somewhere in the Outlands.

"Pumbaa, buddy," Timon said, climbing onto his friend's back, "I think we better let Simba know about this."

"Good idea." They headed toward Pride Rock while the light show continued far above them, and the strange objects continued falling into the Outlands.

What were those strange objects and why were they coming down in the Outlands?

A/N: I hope you like this and there will be another chapter tomorrow. Yeah, instead of replacing each chapter, I'm just going to post this as a new story since it'll be less stressful. R&R everyone!
