It had been a few weeks since Tick Tock had joined Derpy and the Doctor on their adventures. It had been hard to tell, but after recording his sleeping patterns, Tick Tock had began to see how long he had joined the timelord and the muffin-loving mare.
In these weeks, Tick Tock had become very interested in the TARDIS's expansive rooms. A library that was also a pool (not one of his most favorite places, if Derpy or The Doctor were to want to read a book and knocked something over, that's it!), a room that was comprised of only bouncy surfaces, which Derpy had dubbed "The Bouncy Room."
There were rooms for everything, enough rooms for both companions to have their own large sleeping quarters, room for Tick Tock's rather large workshop where he worked on inventions and studied what was left of the Monsters that they had to get rid of to help keep the peace of Equestria and other alien planets.
"Tocky, what's your favorite thing on the TARDIS?" Derpy asked, using an affectionate nickname she had given the ginger unicorn after the adventure on the floating isle of Flaputa, one day when the TARDIS was acting slightly funky and they had to stay inside.
"Well, my workshop is where i spend all my time, the only other places there are that I've been to is the kitchen, the Bouncy Room, and the rather unprofessional library, so I'm only limited to items in those rooms and the Console I suppose. That being said, I find everything I've interacted with equally interesting." Tick Tock mused.
"C'mon Tocky! There's gotta be something you like more than anything else! Here, let's go look at all the rooms and we can see if you find anything more interesting!"
"Well, considering we are at a stand still in adventures with the TARDIS being "ill" as The Doctor put it, I suppose it wouldn't be a waste of time, and might be amusing" Tick Tock said, following Derpy as she walked into the TARDIS.
"So let's go! How about the room that's just a field?" Derpy said, opening a door that lead into a beautiful clearing, bright blue skies,
"This just makes the TARDIS itself more interesting. The capacity to hold whole worlds within itself is extraordinary. I mean look at this! It has it's own sun, meaning this could be an entire new world, an entire new universe within the TARDIS. It's a scientific wonder and impossible, though I do suppose the realm of possibility is not as small as I originally thought." Tick Tock said.
"Hmm well, how about we go to the room of archives of monsters from The Doctor's old dimension! There will be something interesting there!" Derpy said. Tick Tock nodded, and as Deroy walked away, he heard something clang behind him. He turned to the noise and saw nothing.
"Tocky, are you Okay?" Derpy said
Tick Tock turned to Derpy, about to say that, affirmative, he was okay, but the words left his mouth. He looked at Deroy. Her hay-colored mane was falling perfectly, her Amber eyes were bright and beautiful, her gray coat was an amazing compliment to her mane. Tick Tock felt himself blush, his heartbeat increasing and butterflied forming in his stomach.
"I'm alright. I do not have to go to anymore rooms, i have found something….more interesting than anything else" Tick Tock said before turning away.
"Wait, what is it?" Derpy called out, only to be met with silence.
