Chapter Two: All Aboard! (Doctor`s POV)

We all met up in the back of Derpy`s house. The TARDIS was still surrounded by trees and using the camouflage ability to blend in.

"So, anypony need a drink before we leave?" Derpy asked everypony as she fiddled with the cast on her hoof.

"No, we`re all good," Twilight smiled.

Pinkie Pie stifled a yawn. "I`m tired and this is boring! Let`s go into the TARDIS!" She started bouncing around the room like an animal.

"Alright, I suppose it is time. Everypony, I would like you to meet the TARDIS."

I clapped my hooves and the doors swung open, allowing everypony to step inside.

Gasps were heard in awe and everypony kept walking inside and then walking outside.

Me and Derpy smiled at each other and mouthed the words everypony else said at the same time: "It`s bigger on the inside!"

"Oh, how I love hearing those words!" I laughed. "Now, now, it`s time to ride! Everypony on, Allonsy...! Oh wait, that isn`t my catchphrase anymore... But this bowtie really IS cool."

They all boarded the blue police box and my two little fillies ran to the control panels.

"I decided to add in a few seats," I announced as everypony sat down. "Comes with railings and everything...!"

Derpy, Minky, and Dinky took a spot next to me at the control panel. The two fillies climbed onto Derpy who held them in her grasp as I fired up the engines.

"Excuse me, but Doctor, why do we need rails?" Rainbow asked.

"Because of this," I laughed as the TARDIS started shaking. "Hold on!" I yelled.

Everypony screamed, laughed, and applauded as I ran around the control panel, pressed buttons, and flipped switches and levers.

"Eureka!" Celestia cheered. One by one we all changed into our human forms.

Fluttershy had light pink hair, a yellow shirt and black jean shorts with her cutie mark on the back pocket.

Rainbow Dash had rainbow streaked hair, a blue long sleeved shirt, and tan pants. "Eh, it could have been 20% cooler," She muttered.

Applejack had on a cowgirl`s hat, an orange shirt and a belted pair of faded jeans.

Rarity wore a purple and blue dress with her cutie mark stitched by the heart.

Pinkie Pie wore a pink shirt and magenta jeans.

Twilight had long purple hair with a light purple dress, something simple that Rarity was disgusted at.

Celestia and Luna looked the same but with their color scheme – Luna had a dark blue dress with black heels, and Celestia had a white dress with pink heels.

Minky was a little human child now with short brown hair and golden walled eyes. She had a small brown dress with a jean jacket.

Dinky had blonde hair and a light pink/purple dress with Dinky engraved in a golden color on the bottom borders of the dress multiple times.

"We look stunning!" Rarity smiled. "Now who is going to help us walk around?"

"Act like you`re walking on your hind legs, girls," Derpy laughed. "It`s the same thing."

Everybody did laps around the TARDIS (I used this as an excuse to show them around) and had gotten used to it. I then taught them how to use their hands and we gathered around the door.

"Everybody needs to listen to me for a second," I said to the group. "On Earth we talk differently. You`ll understand later. But let me say this. I say it every single time I bring companions to these trips." I cleared my throat. "Think you`ve seen it all? Think again. Outside those doors we might see anything. We could find new worlds, terrifying monsters, impossible things. And if you come with me... nothing will ever be the same again.

"Stick with me and don`t wander off. Act natural. No one is allowed to know we just traveled. That means you, Pinkie. Do not talk, alright...?"

"Gotcha...!" Pinkie smiled.

"I bring to you – present day Earth. We landed somewhere in Pennsylvania."

"Again...?" Derpy sighed.

"Yes, but it will look differently. Girls, I give you, Earth." I swung the doors open and everybody gasped.

"This is... amazing..." Celestia smiled.

"Oh, and don`t act like your royalty. In the United States they have a President, not Kings, Queens, Princes, and Princesses." I informed.

"Got it," Luna said.

"Here, everybody needs to take a bag," I said as I handed them out. "They are filled each with a few hundred dollars, which is the currency they use."

"Awesome!" The Princesses cheered.

"A-a-are you... are you sure? I don`t want to take anything from you, Doctor," Fluttershy whimpered.

"Also, about your names – might want to give yourself some nicknames. I learned that the hard way," Derpy murmured.

"Well what can we use?" Twilight and Rainbow asked.

"Instead of Twilight Sparkle we could do... how about... everybody needs to pick a name that's easy to remember and goes well with how you look." I ordered.

"I guess we could go by nicknames. I could be Dash, because, I mean, my name is Rainbow Dash. Just say I am fast." Rainbow said slowly.

Fluttershy nodded her head. "I could use... um... Flutter...?"

Everybody came up with new names. I even said that they pick human names, so this is what happened.

"Pinkie Pie," Pinkie shouted.

"That`s not a normal human name." I sighed.

"Lilac for me...?" Twilight asked.

"That`ll work."

"Luna, obviously," Luna laughed.

"Caroline – I hate the name but it`s one step closer than Celestia."

"Dash," Rainbow said.

"PINKIE PIE...!" Pinkie yelled.

"Pinkie, that isn`t human, open up your brain and think!"

"But I can`t open my brain! I can`t even open my head! I can open my eyes though, see?" She blinked rapidly.

So... that didn`t turn out as I planned... this`ll be harder than I thought.

After deciding on nicknames we stepped outside. "Remember, stay close to me, children. Let`s meet back here to the TARDIS after two hours. Don`t get lost and stay out of trouble. Don`t tell anyone about this." They all started walking off in groups except for the rest of my family. "Oh, and Diamond, don`t spend it all on one dress."

"Oh, heavens no, I will spend it on jewels!" Rarity smiled as she ran off.

"So, now it`s just the Whooves family," Derpy smiled. "That still is your name, right, Doctor? It`s still Doctor Whooves?"

"Yup, names don`t change at regenerations." I assured her.

"That`s good. Now, what is it you fillies wanna do?" She asks the children.

"Something we can`t at Ponyville." Minky smiled.

"Yeah, yeah...! Let`s go to the... over there!" Dinky laughed as she and Minky ran to the playground.

"Duty calls – again," Derpy giggled as we ran over.

Author`s Note:

So, like this story so far? I want to make the uploads pretty spaced out because, well, school is starting up again for me and I wanted to make sure I have some stories so I don`t kill you guys in the "offseason" (kind of like what My Little Pony is doing to me right now... -.- *sigh* ). This IS a trilogy, I am actually working on it right now. I`d say a summary, of this third story but, like River Song says: ...Spoilers.
