Editor's note: This story is written in first person to a second person character (The Doctor "talking" to Derpy)

My eyes opened for the thousandth time that night, at least what counted as night in the TARDIS. The small blue barn was traveling through time and space, but you couldn't really tell, in fact if I hadn't invented it, I could've been fooled into thinking that it was simply an ordinary room in an ordinary house. I stared at the ceiling for a while until I grew born of it and moved onto something else. I tried to count the known constellations in the night sky, recite the lines of the 'Of Ponies and Prejudice' I saw when I was younger, and finally softly whistle myself to sleep, but nothing was working.

In the end, I gave up and got out of my bed, since there's no point of lying in bed if you're awake, left my room and headed for the kitchen to make myself a midnight snack. But as I walked past your room, I noticed that the door was opened. Being the gentlecolt I am, I looked inside to make sure you were okay. When my eyes landed on your sleeping form my heart skip a beat. There you were hugging your pillow like it was a life raft. The sight was adorably funny.

I entered your room for a closer look, feeling a warmth spreading across my chest as I watched you sleep peacefully. I'm lucky to have you here with me, after traveling by myself for so long I almost forgot what it was like to have somepony else to be around with. Somepony to talk to, to laugh with, to cry with; you being here made feel so much like my old self before all of this.

While I am grateful for you being here, I also can't help but to wonder if perhaps this was a mistake. While I do enjoy our time together I get so frightened each time we run into danger. I become afraid; if I don't do something right, if I fail, and you might get hurt, or worse... and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that happened.

But then you would say something to cheer me up, wouldn't you, like you always do whenever I begin to doubt myself.

I smiled slightly before leaning in and kissing you on the forehead.

"I don't deserve you," I whispered before leaving you to what I hope were peaceful dreams.

I closed the door and continued onward to the kitchen, still smiling at the fact that you're still here with the crazy pony in a box, my silver winged angel.

The End
