Song Of Hope: I'm sorry, but this is based off of my Ask Blog. You really won't get the fullness and understanding of it unless you go to the actual blog. You can find a link to it on my profile. R&A
A light blue mare with red hair styled similar to the Crystal Pony's, but with brown straps, emerald eyes, and a Cutie Mark of an hourglass with a golden medical symbol tilted to the right behind it, was walking around a strange machine. It had a console in to with various buttons, switches, dials, and meters, along with a very large cylinder in the middle of it.
"I hope that this time I've found him." She whistled and the doors opened. Before she even turned around to look, she heard the click of a gun.
"Who are you, why are you in a TARDIS, why does it look like a tree, and where's the Doctor?" She slowly turned around, only to see a blue stallion with a darker blue mane, and blue eyes as well, wearing a long coat, and with Orion as his Cutie Mark. He was holding a pistol with his hooves. She looked a bit shocked, but not scared.
"Who are you, and how do you know about my brother?" The shock was evident on his face, but he managed to get a hold of himself once again.
"The Doctor doesn't have any siblings. Now, who are you? I really don't want to shoot a mare as beautiful as yourself, but I will if I have too!" She gave him a firm look.
"I'm telling you, I'm his sister! The Doctor is my older brother! Where is he? I've been looking for him!" The stallion didn't lower the gun.
"The Doctor has never told me that he has any siblings! Now tell me the truth!" She glared at him, ignoring the gun.
"Look, shoot me if you want! But if you won't take proof that I'm his sister, then will you take proof that I'm at least a Time Lady?" He still kept the gun steady.
"Oh, I have no doubt about that. Only someone with Time Lord DNA would ever be able to fly a TARDIS. I just don't buy that you're the Doctor's sister. But, if you're gonna lie, then I guess I should bother making you answer my other questions." She rolled her eyes.
"You are seriously stubborn! My name is the Healer, and my TARDIS has a working Chameleon Circuit-"
"Hold it! The only other Time Lords here who have a TARDIS would be the Master and the Doctor. There's no way this is your TARDIS." She smirked.
"Oh really? Mine is a more advanced model than either of theirs. Mine has vocal response. TARDIS, identify this stallion." The scanner showed a screen that seemed to search through moments in time, before showing a full version of the stallion, with information next to the picture. "So, Jack, huh? My, my, you've got quite a few aliases underneath your belt. It seems you've taken to calling yourself Captain Star Hunter." He was shocked.
"That was in another universe!" Her smirk grew even wider.
"Well, that's easy enough to explain. There's always teeny, tiny holes in the universe, leading into others. Even without the Eye of Harmony, I can still at least see into other ones. Apparently, you can from the same universe as I did. So, why are you here? Why are you in the pony universe?" He lowered the gun.
"I came here the same reason as you did, to find the Doctor." She shook her head.
"I was already here you dolt! I've been here for a very long time, nearly 300 years. But I noticed that history started changing only recently. See, Time Lords and Ladies don't see changes in time until the changes are relative to them." He looked confused.
"I'm not sure if that is more confusing or more clear than what the Doctor says." She sighed.
"Time is very tricky. Even as time travelers, we still age normally, or, as normally as you can when you're the same age as the age you're Loomed at until you regenerate. In order for me to notice changes in time, I must be the same age as I would be in relative age to another Time Lord or lady. So, let's say I'm 100 years younger than another Time Lord. He does something to change time, its affects won't reach me until I am the same distance in age apart from him when he made the change. So, even if this Time Lord makes a change in time 400 years ago, and I was, let's say, 600 years younger than the version of him that made the change in time, the change won't affect me or time as I see it until I age another 500 years. I haven't noticed any changes in time because we're 200 years apart, and my brother came to this world and started changing time at an age when he was 200 years older than me." Jack tried to wrap his head around that.
"I'm still a little confused, but I think I might understand it. But I still don't believe you're his sister. I know enough about Gallifrey to know that Time Lords are Loomed, and therefore don't really have siblings." She sighed.
"There are two types of Looms. The first type just makes people related without really giving them specific relations, thus we all consider ourselves just cousins, while the second type can make actual relations like parents and siblings, rather than pretty much just cousins. Originally, our family came through the Loom of the House of Lungbarrow, but many people don't know that my mother and father used the second type of Loom to make my family. When the House of Lungbarrow disowned the Doctor, he said he had other families, which was really just us. No one really knew that my family was from the House of Lungbarrow. How do you know my brother?" She turned back towards the scanner. "I could just ask the TARDIS to look through time and find out, but I'd rather hear it from you." Jack sighed.
"I've known him for a long time. I went into battle with him to face multiple Daleks, helped him stop the Master, and recently I tried to get him out of his state, but nothing I did lasted long." Her ears perked up as she turned around.
"What state? What's happened to my brother?" He gave her a straight look.
"He's changed. He said something about this person called Discord, as well as something about these ponies called Dinky, Sparkler, and Derpy. But, he's definitely not been himself since I've gotten here." Her eyes widened.
"Discord? I've read about him, can't remember where. Maybe there." She whistled real quick, and the doors shut. Jack looked at them as they shut, then back to the Healer.
"Why do you need the doors shut?" She started heading towards a hallway.
"I don't want to leave the doors wide open for just anypony to come in. A TARDIS is one of the most powerful things in the universe. I can't give anyone the chance to come in. Now, come on! I don't trust you alone in the control room!" He shrugged and followed her.
"Where are we going?" She didn't even glance back at him.
"To my library. I have a copy of every book ever made. The library automatically searches for books it doesn't have and gets them. It's got even more books than the Library. I only ever went there once, and it was quite beautiful." They got to the end of the hall, where the library was. He looked around. There were a lot of shelves, with different colored books, and a little reading area with a green armchair and a little wooden table next to it that had a lamp on it.
"It doesn't look that big." She went over to a shelf and pulled off a book.
"Well, technically, the TARDIS is infinite, but it was a temporal storage. That's where a majority of the books are." She sat down on her recliner and opened up the book. "I prefer my home to be nice and neat. I'm a bit of a neat freak, but that's a good thing in the medical field." Jack stopped.
"Wait, medical field? Are you an actual doctor?" She gave him a glance up from her book.
"No, I'm a healer. That's my profession. Doctors stick you with needles and take out parts to make you better. I learned how to heal people without causing more injuries. While the actual healing process is much longer than medical procedures, the recovery process is much quicker." She went back to her book. "Make sure to look under history." He rolled his eyes.
"What have I gotten myself into?" He grabbed a book off the shelf and started reading.
