Prologue
3 weeks before the Time War on Gallifrey…
"Has the Council made a decision?" a mysterious and old voice said. "Our lord President, 1000 are for, none have opposed" a similar voice exclaimed. As thevoices were conversing, a barely conscious woman stared at them with maniacal intent; almost as if she was insane. The President turned to the shackled and muffled woman and said "For committing crimes of an unspeakable nature against the people of Gallifrey, the council has voted for your method of exile. You will be converted into a human, have all of your memories of being a Time Lord hidden in a FOB watch and will be cast into the Un-tempered Schism to enter an alternate universe where you will wander until you regret the decisions you have made". A look of shock and horror was shown in the woman's eyes for a brief moment, and then replaced with the same maniacal look as before. "Once thrown into the Schism, your body will change as to not arouse suspicion to the indigenous life you will encounter. We will send a TARDIS with you in case you have found a way to forgive yourself and your actions. This does not mean you can return any time you want however…" the President explained to the woman.
"This TARDIS will only reveal itself if it senses regret in a Time Lord's hearts and mind." the other voice exclaimed. "Otherwise, it will remain invisible to the naked eye by means of a Perception Filter". The woman's eyes showed a look of understanding. "Your exile will begin tomorrow at high noon. Until then, you should meditate on the crimes you have committed on your own brethren."
The next day in front of the Un-Tempered Schism…
"Have the preparations been made my lord Doctor?" The President asked the soon-to-be infamous Time Lord. "She is unconscious, but stable. Has there been any word on the Daleks? I worry about the safety of my family." said The Doctor. "They have moved their fleet closer to the Medusa Cascade. I tried to reason with the Emperor himself, but it seems that we have no other choice but to prepare for war." As the President explained the preparations to be made for the upcoming war, the doctor thought to himself "I wonder where she will be sent. I sense that this woman will be tied to me in the future somehow, but for her sake I hope she will never discover what I am about to do. It would break her hearts…" While The Doctor was thinking about the actions he will soon have to take, the convict was thinking about how she came to be captured and sentenced to this form of exile. "How did I end up in this position anyways!? All I did was stab the elderly couple out of regenerations and blew up a malfunctioning TARDIS. Granted it was full of refugees, but that's beside the point!"
As soon as both were done with their thoughts, The President activated the portal to the Un-Tempered Schism and threw the TARDIS in first to plot a flight path for the convicted Time Lord. Next, the president asked The Doctor to remove all of her memories as a Time Lord and store them in a FOB watch. As soon as he was done with the process, he placed the watch in the woman's pocket and The President cast her in and gave her a new name. Before The President did this, he began to speak: "The TARDIS landed on a planet called Gaia in an alternate universe where all the life forms are of an equine nature. It also says that they are intelligent enough to give themselves names. Henceforth, your new name will be known as Colgate and your old name of Gersillan will be forgotten." With those last words, The President used the telepathic circuits from the TARDIS to transmit history of the planet as well as her new name into her mind. After the telepathic grafting was complete, Gersillan was cast into the Un-Tempered Schism and followed the path that the TARDIS etched temporarily. As Gersillan's past life was mending itself to better camouflage herself with the new life forms she will encounter. When she awoke, Gersillan knew nothing of her past life except the parts filled in by the telepathic grafting. As her new memories were forming to further disguise her past life, the nearby TARDIS disguised itself as an apple tree with orange leaves. It will go unnoticed in an apple orchard and even if it is noticed, the Perception Filter will erase its existence from anyone curious enough.
As the convict was transforming into a pony, the FOB watch sewed itself to her flank and transformed into the cutie mark of an hourglass. As soon as the transformation was complete, the pony that was once Gersillan collapsed next to her TARDIS, unaware of what that tree was.
Dawn, the Next Day…
It was morning at an apple farm just outside of Ponyville and a certain orange pony with apples as her cutie mark decided to start work on the fields early. As Applejack was tending the fields, she tripped over something when she was hauling a cart full of apples. After she recovered from the fall, she went to see if it was a pile of apples that her brother, Big Macintosh, set on the ground to represent his "apple stash". When she saw that it was an unconscious pony, Applejack rushed over to see if she injured the mare; or what she thought was a mare. She gently tapped on the unconscious pony's shoulder multiple times to try and wake her. As soon as the mare opened her eyes, Applejack glanced for any sign of injuries on the mysterious mare. "Ya alright? A didn't mean to trip over ya like that, but ya shouldn't be sleeping out here." Applejack asked with a thick country accent. The light blue coated mare with a similarly striped blue and white mane and tail began to stand up, but wasn't used to four legs for some reason. "Speaking of, how did ya end up out here in the first place?" As soon as the mare was used to her unknowingly new body, she responded "Oh its fine. In fact, I don't even recall how I got here." Applejack wasn't sure if she should trust this mysterious pony in the middle of her family's orchard, but offered to help anyway. "Well ya better come along with me if I hit ya so hard ya can't remember how ya got here. Oh, and before I forget, if you see a pink pony with a poofy mane; remind me to walk the other way. The last thing we need is a party for your amnesia!" With that the two ponies headed to the hospital to get her head checked out for any serious damage. "What's yer name anyways?" Applejack asked her new friend. "My name's Colgate, I think…"
The Doctor woke up screaming. Drenched in sweat, he said "That name! I remember that name! But it can't be! She fell through the Un-Tempered Schism! I saw her disintegrate! Unless…" Derpy Hooves rushed through the door to The Doctor's bedroom and interrogated him frantically "ARE YOU ALRIGHT DOCTOR? WHAT IS IT? DALEKS? CYBERPONIES? WEEPING PEGASI?" The Doctor responded with "Something far worse than any of those or anything we have faced before: A Time Lord!"
Author's Note: What do you think? I left a cliffhanger because I want some reviews before I begin Chapter 1, and cliffhangers always have the audience wanting more. So make sure to give me constructive criticism to further improve and perfect my stories and remember: Keep Calm and Flutter On!
