The Doctor ran frantically around the Tardis, wondering just as frantically what was happening. Something was after him.
This, of course, was nothing new. Being a timelord means things like that happen a lot, but the alarming part was that he hadn't the faintest idea who was chasing him. It had been roughly three days since they first showed up, and whoever they were, they were dead-set on him. He'd tried everything, going through time-space, faking them out, every trick he knew. These strange people wouldn't go away. It was the same people everywhere he went. Two men and a woman. Wherever he was, whoever he was with, they were in a position to be his enemies.
He was relatively certain it was the same people too, not just freak coincidences that there was a trio that looked all but identical in every, damn, time-period. He'd checked their vital signs and such with his screw driver, whatever they were, they sure as hell weren't human; or any other species he'd met before for that matter.
As he paced around frantically, a knock came on the Tardis' door. He turned to face the door, unsure (however rare that may be) what to do.
Dinky Hooves woke up just as she did any other morning: to the sun on her muzzle and the smell of her mom's home-made muffins. Dinky stared out her window for a moment, not quite ready to wake up, but that didn't last long.
"Muffin! Breakfast!" came the cheerful voice of her mother. Dinky got out of bed and trotted downstairs, her blonde mane momentarily falling over one eye.
"Morning, mama." she said happily. The gray pegasus smiled at her daughter, her eyes crossed as always.
"Mffms!" her mother said, the word muffled from the plate of muffins she held in her mouth. Dinky climbed up onto a chair as her mother set the plate down on the table.
"Banana muffins! Thanks, Mama!" Dinky said, beaming up at her mother.
"Something happen today," the pegasus said, staring at a location Dinky couldn't quite pin-point.
"Nothing's happening at school," said Dinky, "What's gonna' happen?"
"Unsure." she replied, "Something."
"Well, you made banana muffins, so I bet it's something good!" the filly said happily, raising a muffin to her mouth with magic.
"Agree," the pegasus said to her daughter, a unicorn filly, with a smile.
