The Guardian was in trouble. The TARDIS was in flight, and was out of control. "Come on!" He cried trying to stabilize the ship. "Seriously, this is getting old." BAM! The TARDIS hit the ground hard, throwing the Time Lord out the door. Luckily, the TARDIS had been by some grass, and said grass broke his fall. The TARDIS skidded a foot or two ahead of him. "Huh, wonder where I am." The Time Lord mused, standing up and brushing himself off. "Looks like a school, but I've never heard of one except Canterlot High." The Guardian walked towards the building. "Ow." He added. He was aching all over, and was pretty sure he had sprained his left arm. Cradling it, he entered the school. " The halls were empty, classes in session. "Oof!" The Guardian grunted. He had walked into someone. Unluckily for him, although he had yet to know this, it was the head of the school, Principal Abacus Cinch.

"Hm? And who might you be?" Principal Cinch asked.

"Ryan." The Guardian said, using the first name to come to his head. "Ryan McCrimmon."

"Are you a new student?" Principal Cinch asked.

"No, I go to what I assume is a 'rival' school." The Guardian replied, briefly stopping his arm-cradling to put air quotes around the word 'rival'. "Stupid sprain." He added.

"Obviously, this is not Canterlot High." The Time Lord said. "And I don't mean any offense, but I have never heard of this place before. What's this school called?"

"Crystal Prep Academy." Principal Cinch replied.

"Good." The Guardian said. Then, a lavender-haired girl walked by. "Hi." The TIme Lord called.

"Um... Hello." The girl replied, somewhat hesitant.

"Ryan McCrimmon." The Guardian said, walking over and holding out his hand.

"Twilight Sparkle." She took his hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet you." The Guardian said. 'She can't be!' He was thinking. 'Wonder if the Zygons are involved.'

"You too." Twilight said while shaking hands with him.

"Nice to meet you both, and I'd love to stay, but I've got to go." The Guardian walked deeper into the school. Once out of sight, he carefully retrieved his Sonic Screwdriver, and scanned his arm. "Sprained." He confirmed. "Will heal in a minute or two." Looking around, he realized he had no idea how big the school really was. Heck, it could be bigger on the inside for all he knew. "Man, this place is a labyrinth." The Time Lord complained. "How am I supposed to get back to the TARDIS?" Not that he wasn't going to try. Sonic in hand, The Guardian walked off...and almost instantly got lost. "UGH!" he cried, banging his head lightly against a locker. "Now what?" Then, the other Twilight showed up again. "Hey." The Guardian said.

"Hi." Twilight said.

"How do you find your way in this school?" The Time Lord complained. "I'm trying to leave, and now I'm lost."

"Follow me." Twilight told him. Stashing the Sonic away, the Time Lord followed. Twilight led The Guardian to the exit. "And this is where I leave you." The Guardian said, bowing slightly. "Nice to meet you Miss Sparkle."

"You too Ryan." Twilight said.

"Zygons." The Guardian muttered as he started walking towards the TARDIS. He was too indistinct for Twilight to understand, but it wasn't like she was going to understand the name either way. As soon as he saw Twilight was out of sight, The Guardian entered his ship, and dematerialized. Although Twilight had heard the wheezing, groaning noise. A while later, the Cloister Bell rang with a GONG! The Guardian ran to the console. "Oh crud." he whispered, seeing the words on the scanner screen: HELP ME! The TARDIS had tapped into Sunset Shimmer's thoughts before. "And now, she is literally calling for mental help. Or something like that." The Time Lord said. The TARDIS soon materialized at CHS. The Twilight the Time Lord had met at Crystal Prep was there as well, and was currently cornered by a creature covered in red suckers. As she shrunk into a tight ball, the clomping of the creature's feet turned into shoe-clad footsteps. Twilight looked up and gasped. The creature had turned into a duplicate of her!

"Excuse me, I'm going to need my glasses." The creature whipped Twilight's glasses off her face. "I hate when I get one with a defect." The creature said.

"GET AWAY, RUN!" A voice shouted. Both Twilights turned. The Guardian was standing there. "I mean the one on the floor!" He shouted. "Run!" She nodded and started running away as fast as she could in panic. The Guardian caught up handing the girl her glasses, whipped right from the alien's face.

"Zygon." He explained. "An alien that can mimic any other life form. Faced one before. Anyway, funny. I thought you were the Zygon, but apparently you and the other Twilight I know are just different people. Sorry."

"It's fine." Twilight replied while panting.

"Wait." The Guardian skidded to a stop in front of a supply closet. "In here, now." He said. Twilight nodded and went inside. The Guardian shut the door behind him.

"Ah, there we go." The Time Lord said. "Safety at last." The TARDIS was inside the closet. "Come on, I actually meant in here." He said, unlocking the TARDIS and going inside. Twilight followed The Guardian inside The TARDIS.

"Whoaaaaa..." She said, looking around the room.

"Bigger on the inside." The Guardian said.

"I can see that." Twilight replied.

"Any questions?" The Time Lord asked.

"Where did it come from?" Twilight asked.

"My home planet called Gallifrey." The Guardian explained. He waved a hand around at the room. "Dimensionally transcendental." The Time Lord said. "Any other things?" He snapped his fingers. "I am indeed an alien." Twilight paused, letting everything process for a minute.

"That's AWESOME!" The Guardian sighed.

"I lied." He said. "Ryan isn't my name. Just call me 'The Guardian'." Twilight nodded.

"Ok Guardian." She said.

"I have a plan." The Time Lord said. "You go home and forget we ever met, and I'll go do this incrediblly dangerous thing!"

"Ok?" Twilight said, a questioning tone in her voice. The TARDIS dematerialized.

"And done." The Guardian said a minute or two later. The TARDIS materialized on Twilight's street. "Thank you." She said before entering her house. It was an hour later when the TARDIS appeared there again. Twilight looked out her window and saw The TARDIS appear in her backyard. The Guardian waved, smiling. Twilight opened the door and ran up to The TARDIS.

"The Zygons are gone." The Time Lord reported. "No one died."

"Oh thank goodness!" Twilight replied.

"The reason I wanted you out of the picture was only because I wanted you safe." The Guardian explained. "No one should be in danger because of me."

"I understand." Twilight nodded. The Guardian grabbed Twilight, hugging her. Twilight blushed and hugged back.

"Well, I'm gonna go." The Time Lord said. "See you later?"

"See ya!" Twilight waved. With a two fingered salute, The Guardian entered the TARDIS, and dematerialized.

THE END!
