Chapter Ten: Meeting Twilight Sparkle (Doctor`s Point of View)
"I thought you said you would never run from danger?" Ditzy asked me.
"I wasn`t running from danger, but to where danger is headed... probably," I reminded her.
"I have the need to be explained to!" Dinky yelled.
"But there isn`t time," I sighed. "We need to drop you off, Dinky, and then Ditzy and I need to go and stop this beast of a mare!"
"NIGHTMARE MOON," Ditzy screamed.
"What about Nightmare Moon?" I asked, stopping what I was doing to stare at her.
"That`s the mare! The mare`s name is Nightmare Moon! She is really Princess Luna, but when she was banished to the moon for 1,000 years she turned again!"
"Whatever you just said was genius!" I laughed, starting the TARDIS up.
"And how so," She asks. "I don`t even know what I said."
Dinky erupted into a fit of laughter and Derpy quickly tucked her into her bed at home. I waited patiently in the TARDIS waiting for her to come back.
"Nightmare Moon...?" I asked myself. "Could that be the mare, or was she being... well, Ditzy again?" Then another popped into my mind. "How is this mare even going to be stopped? The TARDIS doesn`t know left from right. She can travel, of course, but she isn`t in tip-top shape to prevent this from happening. Not like I have a right to do that, because that would be considered traveling into my timeline.
"Is there something Princess Celestia would know? Maybe Ditzy might...? What if I asked somepony around here?"
"Probably not a good idea, that`s her sister after all." Ditzy muttered, opening the door and walking towards me.
"Then we are out of options," I sighed, slumping against the couch in disbelief. I started to wave my hoof about as I talked, something I hadn`t done in a while. "There`s no one else, excuse me, nopony else, to ask."
"What about Twilight Sparkle?"
"Twilight who-now...?"
"Twilight Sparkle, she`s a unicorn, and she acts like Princess Celestia is her mother. She is her student, of course, I am pretty sure they aren`t related..." Ditzy shrugged, sitting next to me.
"Where does she live?"
"In a tree-house-library-thing or whatever," She smiled.
"Very descriptive, but not specific – however it will have to do," I returned the smile before hopping off of the couch and running to the controls. "Ditzy, quick – where is this tree-house-library-thing located," I asked her.
"Center of Ponyville, I think. You can`t miss it, it`s just... THERE." She added some not needed exaggeration on her words, but I understood what she was hinting at and nodded.
"Off we go then, allons-y!"
"What does that mean?" Derpy laughed as we flew out of sight.
