A/N: That's right! It's time for another deleted scene, and this time involves our favorite time-traveling ponies! Dr. Hooves and Derp! Onward!
Call of the Cutie/Dr. Hooves Meets Derpy: Deleted Scene 2: Timeline Fixing Time!
*Some time later after Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle introduce themselves to Apple Bloom, the party at Sugarcube Corner is back in full swing with ponies and fillies laughing, chatting, eating, drinking and even dancing. Oh yeah. Also, Berry Punch is drunk on punch right now and is making quite a fool out of herself in front of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, who are both just sitting on the staircase and glowering at everypony as if they were trying to be like Statler and Waldorf. But apart from that, things seem to be getting along just fine.*
(I'm going to be completely honest with you for a quick little minute here, online sister. I have COMPLETELY forgotton the whole reason everypony's having a party at Sugarcube Corner and why it's mostly focused on those two former bullies that do nothing but give Apple Bloom a bad time. Was it Diamond Tiara's birthday that day or something? Or was it Silver Spoon's birthday? I'd speedily read through Call of the Cutie or watch bits of it off Youtube to find out for myself, but...being honest again, I'm actually too lazy to do that. So, if you wouldn't mind reminding me what this party is all about, that'd be pretty helpful as this is an episode I don't normally watch that much. Dede42: The party is for Diamond Tiara because she got her cutie mark.)
Dr. Hooves: (sitting at a table with Derpy and watching Apple Bloom talking to Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, chuckling) Now, that's what I like to see. A true friendship being formed by those nice, kind and sweet little fillies. Aren't those three just adorable together?
A Voice In The Doc's Head: Yeah. This coming from the same pony who didn't think that little yellow earth pony was nice, kind, sweet OR adorable earlier when she kept trying to sell you apples when you didn't want any.
Dr. Hooves: Oh, do be quiet, brain! That was then! This is now. (Sighs happily) How they remind me so much of myself back when I was just a lad. Oh, the glory days. How it takes me back.
Derpy: (filling some plates with cupcakes) Oh, I know just how you feel, Doctor. I sometimes wish I was a little filly again too whenever I see filles and colts getting along nicely with each other. (Sighs) Sadly, we can't all be like Peter Pan. Always staying at a young age and not growing any older. Oh well. I guess that's the way the cupcake crumbles, I suppose.
Dr. Hooves: (takes a look at the cupcakes on the plates) Oh, I say, Miss Derpy. Those cupcakes do look pretty delicious looking. What type of cupcakes are they exactly?
Derpy: Gee, Doc, I don't really know. Though you're right. They really do look yummy, don't they? (Offers him a cupcake with red, blue and purple frosting) Did you want one?
Dr. Hooves: Oh, how very kind of you. But, uh, please don't call me "Doc". Thank you. (Takes a bite only to instantly spit it out a second later) BLEH! Yuck! Yuck! Gross! Water! Water! Gotta find a sink! Gotta find a sink! I must have some water! (Rushes off to find where the kitchen sink is so he can wash his mouth out)
Scootaloo: (taking notice) Whoa! Did you see that?
Sweetie Belle: (also noticing) Yeah. I wonder what that all that was about?
Scootaloo: (looks down at her own cupcake) You think there was something in the cupcakes?
Sweetie Belle: Probably must've been. Why don't you give yours a try and see if we're right?
Scootaloo: Alrighty then. (Starts balancing it on her nose) Here goes nothing. (Opens her mouth)
Apple Bloom: (stops her from eating it just in time) NO!
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: (confused) Huh?
Apple Bloom: Not the cupcakes! Trust me.
Derpy: (confused at first) Huh? (Takes a look at the clearly burnt half eaten cupcake) Oh...dear. (Sets aside the plates) I...think I'll just go get some desserts that are a bit more...edible for the Doc's liking. I wouldn't want any of us having to go back to the hospital again. (Stomach grumbles at the memory) Ooh! Somehow, just THINKING about it is enough to give me an upset stomach again! No. These will never do. I'll have to get something else. (Gets out of her seat, humming a little tune)
Scootaloo: (sees Derpy walking over to the desserts table) Is that Ponyville's most clumsiest mailpony over there?
Apple Bloom: Hmm? Oh, you mean Derpy?
Sweetie Belle: Derpy Hooves? What's SHE doing here?
Scootaloo: Yeah. You don't normally see her at a social gatherings like Pinkie Pie's parties. She's normally delivering everypony's mail. I wonder what the occasion is?
Apple Bloom: Guess she may have come here to check on Dinky.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: (confused again) Dinky?
Scootaloo: Who's she?
Apple Bloom: Oh. Just some young grey unicorn in class I know. Ah hear she's Derpy's daughter or somethin'. But that's rather odd because I normally see her hangin' around with Sparkler most of the time.
Scootaloo: Who?
Apple Bloom: (sighs) Amethyst Star.
Sweetie Belle: Gosh! I didn't know mailponies had loved ones in their family!
Scootaloo: (sighs and whispers to herself) Sure wish I had a family.
Apple Bloom: What was that, Scoot? Ah didn't quite catch that.
Scootaloo: Nothing! Nothing! Let's...let's see if we can think of a good name for our own secret society, shall we?
Apple Bloom: (considers this) A secret society, huh? Sounds good to me! So, what are we gonna be callin' it then?
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: (both have a good long think) Hmm.
Dr. Hooves: (returning to his table after washing his mouth out) Okay, Derpy. I'm back and feeling much better now. Though, it was kind of hard to find where the kitchen was at first seeing as how it is my first time dropping by this place. (Sees Derpy with a few frosted muffins) Uh...
Derpy: Oh! I just went over there to get some more desserts that were more edible for the both of us. Can you believe they have muffins here too? Now, isn't that a stroke of a luck? (Offers one) Want one?
Dr. Hooves: (slightly hesitant) Um, are you sure?
Derpy: Don't worry, Doc. It's okay. I tried one and they aren't burnt in the slightest. I promise.
Dr. Hooves: (still a little hesitant) Hmm. Well, I guess I'll have to take your word for it then. (Samples the muffin) Oh, I say. (Gulps as his face brightens with delight) Oh, I say! This is delicious! Thank you kindly, Miss Derpy!
Derpy: Aw, you're welcome, Doc. Anything for a new friend.
Dr. Hooves: And speaking of our newly formed bond of friendship, how would you like to become my very own new assistant and come with me on a few trips in the near future?
Derpy: (gasps) You mean it? Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Doctor! I would be HONOURED too! (Calms down quite suddenly) I mean, I would...if I wasn't too worried about my little Dinky.
Dr. Hooves: Who?
Derpy: My little daughter. I love her more than anything else in the world. Even more than muffins! It's not always easy looking after her though. Especially when I'm out being a mailpony almost every day of the week. I sometimes leave her with Sparkler because she makes a good aunt as well as a foalsitter, but I wouldn't want to leave her there for however long these trips of yours take. I think she'd really miss me the same as I'd really miss here.
Dr. Hooves: Hmm. Guess this means I'll have to cut most of my future trips with you short so you two don't miss each other for so long then. Now, let me see. How long did I used to stay at my destinations during my past trips? Days? Weeks? Months? I can't quite remember. (Suddenly hears a gasp from Apple Bloom) Hmm?
Apple Bloom: Hang on a minute, girls! Ah think ah've just realised somethin'!
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle: What's that, Apple Bloom?
Apple Bloom: Well, this is probably gonna sound crazy, but...ah think we may have already met each other before!
Scootaloo: Have we? (Takes a good long look at Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle) Huh. No wonder you both look so familiar to me.
Sweetie Belle: You know something, Apple Bloom? I think you might be right! But...how's that possible?
Apple Bloom: (tries to remember as best as she can) Ah think...ah think...ah...think ah remember meetin' you both on the day that Nightmare Moon appeared at the celebration.
Dr. Hooves: Uh oh. Sounds like something I need to fix as soon as possible. (Gets out of his seat) Come with me, Derpy. We've got some work to do. (Begins heading for the door)
Derpy: (confused) What? You mean...we're going on a trip now?! As in...RIGHT now?! B-but...the party's not over yet! A-and I didn't even get a chance to find my Dinky here yet either! (Starts chasing after him) Doctor, wait!
Twilight Sparkle: (finishing writing her new friendship report about Apple Bloom) ..."can actually be the thing that helps you make your closest friends and realise just how special you really are. Signed, Twilight Sparkle.". There. All finished.
Sunrise Blossom: Nicely written, sister. Now, let's get that letter sent to Princess Celestia.
Dr. Hooves: (rushes right past them, making them dizzy) Gangway! Look out! Coming through! Sorry, ladies! (Runs out the door)
Twilight Sparkle: (shakes the dizziness out her head) Hey! You can't just...who even ARE you?! (Derpy runs straight into her) Oof! What the-?! Derpy?!
Derpy: (blushes) Oops. Sorry, Twilight. (Gets back up and follows the doctor outside) Doctor, slow down! Come back!
Sunrise Blossom: (curious) What's that all about?
Dinky: Mommy? Mommy, where are you going? The party's not over yet! Mommy!
Derpy: (calls back) I'll be back soon, Dinky! Just got to run a quick errand!
Dinky: Ok! (trots back to enjoy the party)
*Reaching Dr. Hooves' house, him and Derpy rush inside and head to the back room, where they immediately find and enter the TARDIS. With a shut of the doors, Dr. Hooves goes to work at the console, hurrying around to program their destination into the computer. Derpy, however, is still pretty confused at everything that seems to be happening right now. Are they really going to go on a trip somewhere at this very moment? And miss out on the rest of the party at Sugarcube Corner too? All this seems to be happening all too soon for poor Derpy here.*
Derpy: (watches as the Doc turn knobs and pull levers) What's going on, Doc? I know I said I would be honoured to start joining you on some of your future trips, but I didn't think that meant we'd be taking a trip to somewhere right NOW!
Dr. Hooves: In answer to that question, dear, there has been an error in time that needs to be corrected. And uh, seriously, please don't call me "Doc".
Derpy: (still a little confused) You mean we're gonna be TIME-TRAVELLING?! Where are we even going? What is this "error in time" you speak of?
Dr. Hooves: Well, apparently, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are remembering an event that shouldn't have happened, but somehow did. So, we shall be going back in time to when Nightmare Moon first arrived after being locked in the moon for a thousand years to correct that mistake and get the timeline back on track.
Derpy: (only understanding half of what the Doc had said) Wait, you KNOW about that?!
Dr. Hooves: Yes. I was there at the celebration just like everypony else was that day. Though, I looked quite different at the time, and I didn't get to stay very long since I had to take care of a few things. So, by the time I got back, I changed and the Mane Seven had managed to obtain the Elements of Harmony and used them to free Princess Luna of the evil that had corrupted her.
Derpy: How long will this little mission of yours take exactly, Doctor? I can't miss the rest of that party back at Sugarcube Corner! My little Dinky's there and I hadn't had the chance to talk to her yet! I didn't even get a chance to ask her how her day at school was!
Dr. Hooves: It's alright, Miss Hooves. This little errand won't take too long. In fact, it'll be over before you know it. Now, hold on tight! It's going to be a bit of a bumpy ride for us both again!
*With a flick of a few more levers, the central column slowly begins rising and lowering until at last, the time machine disappears into the Time Vortex.*
*Minutes later, the TARDIS reappears in an alleyway not too far away from Town Hall where all the ponies are here gathering round for the celebration. As soon as Dr. Hooves exits the time machine, he carefully makes sure that he and Derpy don't get seen by their past selves. Though, they didn't really count on not getting seen by a rather sleepy orange pegasus in a cardboard box in that very same alleyway slowly waking up from her slumber. But Dr. Hooves and Derpy are too busy trying to sneak their way through the back entrance to notice this. Perhaps they should've chosen a better place to...ahem..."park their vehicle".
Scootaloo: (yawns) What was all that noise that just woke me up? (Rubs the sleep out of her eyes and notices the TARDIS just standing there) A...big blue police box? (Rubs her eyes again just to be sure she isn't seeing things) Huh. That's weird. That thing wasn't here earlier. I wonder where that came from? (Does a great big stretch and suddenly notices the amount of ponies heading to Town Hall) Oh my Celestia! Is it time for the Summer Sun Celebration already?! I-I'd better not be late for that! (Rushes off to the Town Hall at the speed of sound)
Dr. Hooves: (now at the back entrance with Derpy) Now, remember, Miss Derpy, we've got to be VERY careful not run into our past selves while we're on this mission. Being in the same place twice isn't really that safe. If we are seen by our past selves, things could probably get worse before they got any better.
Derpy: (also keeping her voice quiet) How worse exactly, Doc?
Dr. Hooves: Well, I'm no gossip, but I have heard that if anypony were to be seen by their past selves, then all of time would go boom! Which means that if we were to come into contact with ourselves, things would go ZAP! And all reality would disappear!
Derpy: (gasps as quietly as she can) Really?
Dr. Hooves: Well, if I'm being honest with you, Miss Hooves, I'm not entirely sure. But it's probably best that we don't try to risk it. (Walks inside Town Hall)
(By the way, Dede42, no offence or anything, but if what the Doc had said here was true, then why didn't all reality disappear when Future Twilight met Past Twilight in Season 2? That just shows that what the Doc had said here was nothing but blasphemy. Again, no offence intended in any way, online sister. No hard feelings? Dede42: None at all, and I think because Twilight used a spell to travel back in time to warn her past self, the same rule doesn't apply like when using a time machine.)
Derpy: Good thinking, Doctor. (Follows the Doc into the main room) So, how are we going to fix this little problem?
Dr. Hooves: We're going to make sure that Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle don't meet tonight. The first time they meet is in Sugarcube Corner at the party. So, we just need to make sure Apple Bloom stays with her family and do the same with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.
Derpy: Okay.
*During the celebration leading up to when Princess Celesta is suppose to appear, Dr. Hooves and Derpy improvise distractions: to make sure that Sweetie Belle was at one end of the room, Derpy challenges her and two other fillies to a sing-off that keeps them busy. Dr. Hooves tracts down Scootaloo and two other pegasus foals to see who could drink the most apple cider in a single go. Together, Dr. Hooves and Derpy disguise themselves in dark cloaks and run off with the baskets of apples, which prompts Apple Bloom to chase them around until it was time for the arrival of Nightmare Moon.*
Dr. Hooves: (from behind a curtain with Derpy) Well, this worked out quite well. Don't you think so, Miss Derpy?
Derpy: (nods at the sight of the three fillies hiding in different corners of the room at the sight of Nightmare Moon) Yup. Anything else we need to do?
Dr. Hooves: (shakes his head) Nope, let us leave this place.
*They take their leave and return to the TARDIS)
A/N: This is what I came up with so far, and I will add more later. Bye for now! R&R everyone!
