A/N: (Dede42 is hanging up curtains in front of the newly repaired window when there is a knock on the door.)
Dede42: Who is it?
Robin Hood: It's Robin Hood and Little John.
Dede42: (runs to the door and opens it) Come on in, guys. (she steps aside so they can come in) I have to be careful about who comes in here lately.
Robin Hood: After what Discord did yesterday, I'm not surprise.
Little John: Isn't that Discord fellow suppose to be a statue right now?
Dede42: He's suppose to be, but when has anyone ever done what they're suppose to in the fandom universe?
Little Joh: Good point.
Dede42: Anyway, are you guys here about what to do about that goof in the pilot episode when it looked like Apple Bloom already knew Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.
Robin Hood: (holds up his new computer) Yup, and I brought my brand new computer so that we could work on it together.
Dede42: Great, because I've been wracking my brain of how to make this work since they don't official get to know each other until Call of the Cutie Mark. And it's been reported that them being together in the pilot like that was a goof on the scene designer's part.
Little John: That's why we're here to help, little lady. Now let's get to work.
Dede42 and Robin Hood: Ok!
As the party continued, Dr. Hooves was chatting with the Cakes when he heard a gasp from Apple Bloom, and he looked over at the newly dubbed Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Hang on a second, I think we've already met before!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.
"Yeah, I think you're right," Scootaloo agreed, her forehead furrowed. "But how's that possible?"
"I - I think it happen on the day that Nightmare Moon appeared at the celebration," Sweetie Belle suggested.
'Uh oh, something that I need to fix,' Dr. Hooves thought and quickly tracked down Derpy, who was talking with Twilight Sparkle and Sunrise Blossom. "Excuse me, ladies," he said politely, "but I need Miss Derpy's help with something that shouldn't take very long."
"Of course, Doctor," said Sunrise Blossom. "Come on, Twi, let's get that letter sent to Princess Celestia."
"Good idea," Twilight Sparkle agreed. "Later."
The moment the twins walked away, Dr. Hooves hurried Derpy out of the shop and back toward his home. "Come on, we've got work to do!"
"What's going on, Doc?" Derpy inquired.
"There is an error in time that needs to be corrected," Dr. Hooves answered. "And don't call me Doc."
Reaching the house, they went inside and headed to the back room, where they immediately entered the TARDIS. Shutting the doors, Dr. Whooves went to work at the console, hurrying around to program their destination into the computer.
"Where are we going?" Derpy asked, watching the Time Lord as he turned knobs and pulled levers as the central column began rising and lowering as the time machine disappeared into the Time Vortex.
"Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are remembering an event that shouldn't have happen, but somehow did," Dr. Whooves explained, checking one of the screens. "So, we're 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, who only understood about half of what the Time Lord had said, nodded. "Oh, cool."
Minutes later, the TARDIS appeared in a alleyway not far from Town Hall, where the ponies were already gathering for the celebration, and when Dr. Whooves exited the time machine, he made sure that he and Derpy weren't seen by their past selves.
"Being in the same place twice isn't very safe," Dr. Whooves explained softly as they made their way to the back entrance. "So, we have to make sure that we aren't seen by ourselves, or things could get even worse."
"Worse how?" Derpy asked, also keeping her voice quiet.
"Well, if we were to be seen by our past selves, then all of time would go boom," the Time Lord answered. "And if we were to come into contact with ourselves, things would go zap! And all reality would disappear forever."
Derpy shivered at the thought. "Ooh, ok, meeting ourselves bad idea," she concluded and he nodded. "So, how are we going to fix this problem?" she wondered as they went inside and made their way to the main room, where the celebration was due to take place shortly.
"We're going to make sure that Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo don't meet tonight," Dr. Whooves replied. "The first time they meet is in Sugarcube Corner at the party, and so we just need to make sure that Apple Bloom remains with her family and do the same with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle."
"Ok."
When there is no sign of Princess Celestia on the balcony, Dr. Whooves and Derpy took advantage of the confusion to make sure that the three fillies weren't anywhere near each other by using some minor distractions shortly before the arrival of Nightmare Moon. While the ponies were distracted by the evil Alicorn, they slipped back out of the building without being seen by their past selves, and they returned to the TARDIS.
"There, now the timeline is back on track," said Dr. Whooves happily as the time machine flew back through the Time Vortex to the present. "Whew! That was a close one."
"Doc, I didn't see you at the celebration," Derpy pointed out.
"Oh, I was there, but 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," the Time Lord replied. "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."
"Oh, so when can we travel again?" Derpy asked eagerly.
"Later, dear, later."
"Ok!"
A/N: And that's it for that deleted scene, which I hope you will enjoy, Roleplayer48. Later! ;) R&R everyone!
