CHAPTER NINE: DOCTOR WHOOVES

"Doc...Doctor...?" She asked. Ditzy was laying on the TARDIS`s floor and her body was losing its bright gray.

"Ditzy, I-" She cut me off with a tight embrace before her entire body turned white and her normally yellow mane and tail turned dark grey. It was like she was in a black and white movie.

"I don`t have time, Whooves... I need help..." She coughed. I searched frantically for some water and made sure she drank a lot. Her color came back, but for a split second before becoming less visible.

The TARDIS landed in the middle of nowhere. Ditzy had already become extremely pale and couldn't talk. She forgot how to do things we don`t need to think about doing, like breathing, eating, drinking, or even standing and walking (or trotting... damn pony logic!).

I went back inside the TARDIS and checked on Ditzy. She didn`t understand what was happening, but I did.

She was dying because she was being binned.

I couldn`t break it to her. I just lay down next to her and tried not to cry, although seeing her this way made me seriously tear up. I rested my hoof in her mane and shut my eyes. She was disappearing within my grasp.

"Doctor Whooves, I am scared... I am so scared," She cried. She looked into my eyes and leaned in.

As we kissed she started crying because she didn`t want to go. She shuddered and lost control. She fell to the floor.

"Take care of Dinky... I love you." She said.

Her body went lifeless and limped after she drew one final breathe.

"No..." I shook her body but she didn`t move. "No, no, no, no, no! This can`t be happening! Wake up, wake up!" I cried out.

She disappeared completely in my arms.

(10 minutes later)

"She..." Princess Celestia started as she saw my condition in the TARDIS. "Doctor... we can help. We can bring her back, Whooves!"

"Yeah right," I yelled back, "she is already dead! You can`t fix it now!"

"We can`t, but you can," She explained. "Doctor Whooves, I need you to go back to when she was a filly."

Author`s Note:

Alright, I am probably done for today considering publishing. I leave for the shore tomorrow, but I will write all the rest today and publish before I leave!
