The first chapter was partly co-written by my brother, Dalek - the Supreme. *claps* This is the Doctor and the Crystal Empire adventure. The dialogue will not be the same. I am messing up the timeline. Pretend Rainbow did a stealthier hunt for the book and was not nicknamed 'slipper thief'

A Pinkie In Time

Chapter 2:

I walked out and proceeded to watch the ponies going about their daily work. It was amazing! There were ponies selling apples, taking field trips, saying hello to their neighbors, and just being one of the most peaceful towns he's ever seen. It was a nice change from the usual planets.

"Hello there!" A cowgirlish voice said.

I turned and saw an orange pony with a blond mane. "'Ello! My name is the Doctor, just the Doctor."

"Ah'm Applejack. I reckon' you're new here? If you are then you should probably hide before Pinkie finds y'all." She said

"Yes I am! And I was actually looking for Pinkie Pie. Can you tell me where she is?"

She told me how to get to Sugarcube Corner and soon I came upon a delicious-looking building. I was tempted to take a bite before remembering my beloved bow tie.

"Pinkie?" I hesitantly raised my voice a little.

"Just a second!" I heard come from behind the counter.

She came out and I saw she was wearing my bow tie. "Give me my bow tie and I'll leave." I said coldly.

"Okey dokey lokey..." She said. Her mane suddenly blew out, like a rush of wind.

My mane was blown back making it look like my tenth selfs hair. She giggled. Suddenly (again) her mane poofed up with and audible pop. "Yeah...that was unexpected." I said.

"Here's your bow tie!" She giggled.

"Thanks."

"Hey Doctor." She asked.

"Yes?" I answered.

"Will you come to Canterlot with my friends and me?"

The TARDIS was damaged and it would give me a chance to explore and get an idea of where I am...

"What in the name of Rassilon is a Canterlot?"

"Who in the name of Canterlot is Rassilon?"

"Oh, he was-erm, I'll explain later."

"How could you not know Canterlot!? It's the capitol, and the Royal Family lives there!" She yelled in my face.

I, of course fell over and banged my head on a stool. "Oof! Is it just me, or am I banging my head on things a lot these days? Anyways, maybe it's because I am not of this world, or of this time. You see, I'm a Time Lord, and I crashed here in my TARDIS chasing an out-of-control time vessel, which is in self-repair mode. I exited the ship, and was immediately chased by some Timber Wolves, when a pink pony appeared on my back, and-oh wait, you were there at that point. Sorry, I do tend to ramble on a bit."

She was caught in the middle of shoving cake down her throat. "Uh...yeah! Sure whatever it is you said!" She wiped the sweets off her mouth. "Well? What are you waiting for? Time to go meet my friends!"

"But-"

"No its, buts, or coconuts!" She dragged me to a tree. I might have been unconscious at one point. "This is my friend Twilight Sparkle's house/library!"

"Ooh...I might start dry heaving soon..." I went and threw up behind a bush. "I do *gulp gasp* have legs you know."

"Of course you do silly filly! Everypony has legs!"

" Of course, say something obvious get a obvious answer…" I said to myself.

"Give me a moment…ugh…" I groaned, getting up. As soon as I did the blood rushed to my head.

"Are you okay?" A purple unicorn asked.

"No…do you have any fish custard?" I asked, hearing my stomach grumble..

"Fish…custard?" She asked.

" Yeah fi-oh. I mean custard?" I remedied, remembering ponies were herbivores. "The yellow stuff you think is interesting, buy, but then never use?"

"Oh! Yeah I believe I got some of that!" She smiled. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. I take from the drag burns on your back you already met Pinkie?"

"Yes. She is stronger than she looks." I said. "Do you know anything about a trip to Canterlot she mentioned?"

"Yes. It's my brother's wedding! His name is Shining Armor and he didn't tell me about the wedding before hoof! And he's my BBBFF!" She ended practically hesterical.

"Big Brother Best Friend Forever?" I guessed.

"Yes. How'd you know?" She asked.

"I'm great with acronyms. Take TARDIS for example. I picked a portable home with a cool acronym that can travel through time and space. You see?" I pointed out.

"Time and space? But how can it? Only magic can do that and you're not a unicorn you're a Pegasus!" She exclaimed.

"I'm a what?" I looked behind me and saw two feathered wings. "Oh! Not only that but I'm over 900 years old, fight aliens, have two hearts, and save planets almost daily."

"Have you just come from Ponyville Hospital?"

"No, I went there after punching myself in the eye, then went to Sugarcube Corner, then I came here. I was cleared by the doctors." I added realizing she thought I was insane. Well, more than usual.

"Oh phew! Well why did you ask about the wedding?"

"Pinkie invited me then dragged me here to meet her friend. I'm guessing that's you?"

"Yeah it must be. You must be the stallion she was talking about!" Twilight exclaimed.

"I guess so."

We walked inside her tree/house/library to get the promised custard before the trip.
