All For a Muffin
Something Borrowed
Derpy looked at the strange stallion before her, confused to no end. "Uh… Okay…?" She said.
"Fantastic," The Doctor exclaimed, beaming. "so.. Let's go then?"
"Let's shall."
So Derpy started off with the Doc following close behind.
"Who even are you?" Derpy asked.
"I already said, I'm the Doctor!"
"Yeah, but.. Doctor.. Who?"
"Just the Doctor, that's all."
"R-really…? Are you, like, a medical Doctor or a Scientist or…?"
"Nope!"
Derpy was still puzzled, but decided questioning would get her nowhere. Still moving along, they came to princess Twilight Sparkle's treecastle. "This is i!" Derpy stated.
"Great!"
The two ponies came up to the door, and Derpy knocked on the heavy, crystal door.
The Doctor admired the building; it was an elaborate, shining palace, but it was also a treehouse, obviously belonging to royalty.
"So behind this door lives a princess?" He asked.
"Mhm. A new princess, too. Princess Celestia recently gave her the title."
"Celestia? Who's that?"
Derpy spun around to look at the timelord. How can he live in this nation without knowing who ruled it?
"The goddess of the Sun, of course!" Ditzy exclaimed, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
The Doc just gave her a confused look.
"The prime minister here is a GOD?"
"Prime minister- what? Where are you from?"
The Doctor considered telling the truth, him being from Gallifrey, but thought against it. She wouldn't understand. Besides, she would have told the whole country!
"Beyond here…" He finally answered. "Faaaar away."
Right then, the door- that they had almost forgot of- swung open, revealing a purple alicorn.
Derpy smiled brightly, but the Doctor was too busy looking at the beautiful creature before him. Her hue was light purple with with a long, purple main draping down over her slim shoulders and onto her back, a horn erecting proudly upon her forehead, and large strong wings folded up on her sides.
It was after he evaluated all the features that he realized he had been asked a question.
"Sir? Are you okay?" Twilight asked him, a bit of confusion in her eyes.
"I-I'm sorry, what?" He slowly asked.
"Doctor!" Said Derpy. "She asked who you are!"
"Oh… my name doesn't matter. May I come in? I have something important to ask of you."
Twilight allowed the two inside her home. "What's up?" She questioned, smiling.
The colt turned to look at Derpy; he couldn't let her hear what he had in mind, as he thought before, she wouldn't understand. If there was a way to get out of the room…
"Um, Derpy, can I ask you something?"
"Sure!"
"Will you go out and find a bakery for me? Maybe get me something? If you don't mind, that is."
"What do you want?"
"Uh, muffins, I guess."
"OOH! I LOVE muffins! What kind? They have blueberry, strawberry, both, cinnamon, bran, pumpki-"
"How about an English muffin?"
Derpy excited expression turned into a scowl. "E-English muffin?! EW! How GROSS!"
The time lord sighed. "Please, I'll pay you back later."
"Alright, be right back." With that, she flew out the castle and back into the town.
"Okay, now that she's out of the way, I'll get straight to the point: what do you know about time travel?"
"That's it very much possible…" Twilight trailed off.
"Okay… Uhm… How do I put it normally.. I may be a time traveler…?"
Twilight just starred. Who is this stallion..? She asked herself.
"A-And I'm lost, I don't know how I got here. I'm the Doctor. It's possible you've heard of me."
"I'm sorry, I haven't,"
"It's alright. So, I'm a Time Lord, I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation Kasterborous, and I'm nine hundred and three years old."
Now Twilight was REALLY interested. However, she wasn't about to believe something she had no evidence of. This could just be a joke. After pondering the subject for a bit, she did remember reading a book some time ago about a war called The Time War, between the Time Lords and the Daleks, but she couldn't recall any more than that.
Her eyes narrowed. "Prove it." She simply requested.
"Are you sure you're ready for THIS conversation?" He sarcastically asked.
"Prove. It."
The Doc smiled a bit and spun around to the door, then looked back at her. "Follow me."
