Chapter One: A Dream (Doctor`s POV)

"Doctor, we need you back on Earth! Things are going crazy!" Someone shouted into the black room I was standing in. Yes, it was completely darkened; no windows, the walls and floors were only felt and not seen. I looked around and (in my pony form) tried to escape.

"I could help if I was out of this place!" I yelled back. "So, if Earth needs help, either wake me up or explain!"

"No time for explaining! Just get into the TARDIS! Hurry, please...!" The familiar sound of the TARDIS landing burned through his ears and he saw Weeping Angels, so many Weeping Angels, crowding the streets of all of Earth. It had to be a dream, no, it had to be reality!

"SOMEONE WAKE ME UP!"

"Doctor, wake up!" Derpy yells at me through tear-streaked eyes.

"I... Derpy... why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?" I sat up and tried to calm her down, but to no oblige, it made her sob harder.

"You were yelling things... you were calling for help... I thought you weren`t going to wake up!" She continued to sob on my shoulder and it instantly made me regret trying to sleep.

"Listen, everything will be okay. It was just a nightmare, okay?"

"Promise...?"

"Yes, I promise you." Then, when she stopped crying she looked at me with hesitant eyes. "Fine," I sighed with a laugh. "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

"That`s better," She giggled. "Speaking of, guess what is coming up in a few days?"

"Oh, are you really thinking I am THAT husband? It`s our anniversary! I would never forget that!"

"MOMMY, DADDY!" Minky and Dinky laughed as they ran into our room and jumped on our bed.

"Ah!" Derpy screamed in horror.

I laughed, "That`s what you get for dressing like a Dalek, scaring me, and yelling 'Exterminate!'"

"Hey, you are in charge of this jump-fest?"

"No, I just wanted to say that." I said quietly.

"MOMMY, DADDY! COME ON, GET OUT OF BED! IT`S TIME TO WAKE UP...!" Minky laughed.

"Alright, give us a second." Derpy said.

After the children had left, I turned to Derpy and sighed. "I had a nightmare just now. And it was... It was..."

"About what...? Spit it out, Doctor?" There was a hint of discouragement in her voice.

"EarthWasBeingAttackedByDaleksAndWeepingAngelsAndINeededToSaveThemButICouldn`tBecauseIWasTrappedInABlackRoom...!" I yelled quickly.

"I... Doctor, you don`t mean that... Are you going to...?"

"Yes, Derpy... I need to travel in the TARDIS once more. Even if nothing is right... I just need to check."

"But... I don`t want you to go!"

"I don`t either. So... I was thinking... how about one last trip together in the blue box we met in? You know, like an early anniversary present?" I hinted.

"But... Dinky and Minky need to be watched!"

"Call in Sparkler, then?" I asked. "She isn`t too far from here, is she?"

"No, not that I know of... but I don`t think she has time to watch her sisters!" She sighed exasperatedly.

"She helped you raise Dinky, and she will help us raise Minky as well. Plus, it would only be for a few days!"

"I guess you and Sparkler might want to meet each other, anyway... fine, I will call her in a second."

"Yes!" I laughed, scooping her into a warm hug.

"Hey, what are you doing to mommy?" Dinky asked as she trotted back into our room.

"Ugh, duty calls!" Derpy laughs as she jumped from my hug and ran downstairs.
