Chapter 2 Go Ask Alice

"Alright Pinkie Pie," the Doctor said, walking into the TARDIS, "Thousands of planets, countless points throughout time and space. Where should we go first?"

"I've always wondered what Ponyville would look like in the future!" Pinkie cheerily replied, bouncing up and down, "Lets go there first! Lets go there first!"

"Ponyville in the future, eh? Sounds good. How far in the future do want to go? Oh, how about three hundred years? I've always liked the number three hundred."

"Lets do it!"

Moving up to the center console, the Doctor began to press buttons and pull levers, saying, "This should be good. I didn't get a chance to see Ponyville, what with the Jallpurian, so this'll be an excellent opportunity for me." As he spoke, the TARDIS made whooshing and grinding noises, then abruptly stopped. "And here we are," the Doctor said.

"Wait, what?" Pinkie asked, looking at the Doctor, "But we didn't move."

"Faith, my dear Pinkie Pie. Take a step outside, and meet the future!"

"If you say so."

Pinkie opened the front door and stepped outside, looking around. "It looks the same Doctor!" she called back.

"Maybe so, but this is the future," the Doctor replied, stepping outside as well.

"Take me somewhere else," Pinkie said, turning to the brown pony.

"What? We just got here!"

"And now I want to go somewhere else."

"Oh come on! Lets just walk around town a little. I didn't get to see it before. You live here. You could show me around a bit, then we can go somewhere else."

"Ok, fine," Pinkie said, "You're lucky I like giving tours of Ponyville."

The two ponies walked around the town for while, Pinkie pointing out the few buildings she recognized from her time. The town, while looking mostly the same, had changed. Several shops and houses had been remodeled, the buildings now housing new businesses and services. Very few looked the same, with small plaques stating that they were historical sights where important ponies had lived, or an important event had happened.

"And that's pretty much all there is," Pinkie said as they finished up.

"Wow," the Doctor replied, "This is an absolutely beautiful town!"

"Yep! Now lets go."

"Go? Oh, yes right. Somewhere else. Let's be going then."

The Doctor started walking back towards the TARDIS, Pinkie following close behind, then stopped, seeing something interesting.

"Pinkie, look over there," he said pointing.

Pinkie looked at where the Doctors hoof was pointing and saw a blue colt, sitting on a bench. He was bit far away, but from what they could see, he appeared to be softly crying.

"Lets go see what's wrong with him," the brown pony suggested, "We might be able to help."

"Ok, but only because I can't stand to see anypony sad," Pinkie agreed.

Making their way over, they could see that the colt was young, a foal, with a short grey mane and tail.

"Hello there little guy!" the Doctor said as they got closer, sitting down next to him, "Is something wrong?

The colt looked up at him sniffling. "Who are you?" he asked.

"Oh, how rude of me. I'm the Doctor. What's your name?"

"Toby," the colt replied.

"Toby? That's a good name."

"Good? It's weird!" Pinkie said.

Toby looked over at Pinkie, saying, "And who are you?"

"My names Pinkie Pie," she replied with a smile.

"That's an old mare's name!" Toby said, laughing.

"What!" Pinkie yelled, offended.

"Sorry," Toby replied, "It's just, only old ponies have names like that."

"Well, I never," Pinkie turned away and stuck her nose into the air, "Lets go Doctor."

"Hold on a moment Pinkie. Something is troubling young Toby here, and we have an obligation to help him out."

"You do?" the young pony asked, looking slightly confused.

"Of course! I'm the Doctor. It's what I do," the Doctor smiled, "Now then, what seems to be the matter?"

"It's my sister, Alice. She disappeared a few days ago and nopony can find her anywhere."

Pinkie gasped loudly and turned back around. "Oh no! That's terrible! What happened?"

"I don't know…." Toby said, eyes beginning to tear up.

"It's okay Toby," the Doctor said, placing a hoof on Toby's shoulder, "Tell me about the day she vanished. Did anything strange happen?"

Toby shook his head and rubbed his eyes. "No, it was normal day."

"When exactly did she go missing?"

"The middle of the night, I think."

"What makes you say that?"

"Because when I woke up, her bed was empty. We sleep in the same room, so I always see her when I wake up."

"Curious," the Doctor muttered to himself, "Plucked out of bed in the middle of the night. I wonder…"

The Doctor looked away for a moment, deep in thought, then turned back to the young colt. "I'd like to take a look around your room, if that's okay with you."

"Sure," Toby replied with a nod, "If it'll help you find my sister, I'll do anything."

"Splendid!" the Doctor said, standing back up, "Lead the way my good sir!"

The trip through town was short, as Toby's house was only a dew blocks away from the park. His house was a small single story building. "It's not much, I know," he said, "But it's all mommy and daddy can afford."

"It's not so bad," the Doctor said, "I rather like it. It has a nice quaint charm."

Pinkie nodded her head in agreement. "Just cause it's small doesn't mean it's bad. You should see the Doctors house! It's way smaller then this, but it's the coolest house ever!"

"Really?" Toby said, eyes wide in amazement.

"Well, I don't know if it's the coolest ever, but it certainly is cool."

"Wow. I'd love to see it!"

"Don't you worry, I'm sure you'll get to see it soon enough. Now then, if you could direct us to your bedroom, I can get started."

Toby nodded and led them inside. The house was empty of other ponies. Toby explained that both his parents were at work right now. They made their way down the hall and entered into a small room. Two beds sat inside, pressed up against opposite walls, with a small nightstand next to each. One had a small desk lamp and some books on it, and the other was covered in various toys.

"I take it that ones Alice's," the Doctor said, pointing to the one with the books.

Toby nodded. "Alice is really smart and loves reading all kinds of books."

"She sounds a lot like Twilight," Pinkie said.

"Who?" the Doctor said, looking at the pink mare.

"Just one of my friends. It's not important right now. We need to find Alice."

"Right. Glad to see you're finally on board Pinkie Pie."

"Like I said before, I can't stand to see anypony sad."

The Doctor nodded his head and walked over to Alice's bed. Reaching into his saddlebag, he pulled out a small metallic tube with a small light bulb on one end.

"What's that?" Toby asked.

"This is my sonic screwdriver," the brown pony replied with a smile.

"What's a sonic screwdriver?" Pinkie asked.

"Well, it's lot like a normal screwdriver, just a bit more… sonic," the Doctor tried to explain, but seeing that his two companions looked even more confused, sighed. "Here, just watch."

Pointing the sonic screwdriver at the bed, the Doctor pressed small button, the bulb lighting up and it began to make a buzzing sound. The Doctor waved it about, and looked back at the two ponies. "The sonic can do all sorts of things, like locking and unlocking doors, as well as analyzing energy readings and signals."

"Is that what you're doing right now?" Toby asked, "Looking for signals or whatever?"

The Doctor nodded and turned the sonic off. He held it close to his face and looked at it intently for a few seconds before saying, "And it appears I found one. There are faint remnants of teleportation energy all around the bed. It seems that your sister was teleported away from here."

"Teleported? By a unicorn?" Toby asked.

The Doctor turned to Toby, eyes wide. "Did you just say unicorn?"

Toby nodded. "Yeah, why?"

"Are you telling me that there unicorns in this world?"

"Uh, are you okay?" Toby asked, sounding very concerned.

"Don't worry, he's fine," Pinkie said, "And yes Doctor. There are unicorns here. Pegasai too!"

"My word. I… I don't know what to say. This is amazing. Pegasai and unicorns! Simply amazing!"

"Doctor, the signal?" Pinkie said.

"Hmm? Oh yes, right. Um, no it wasn't a unicorn," the Doctor chuckled, "Unicorns. Amazing. Anyway, whatever took Alice appears to be alien in origin."

"Aliens took my sister?" Toby asked, skeptical.

The Doctor nodded. "Yes. And I think I might know who."

"How?" Pinkie asked.

"There are many, many different kinds of teleportation technology, used by different races. Each one uses different kinds of power sources and slightly different means of achieving the teleportation. Because of this, whenever they send someone somewhere, or pull something to them, it leaves behind trace energy that is very unique. By analyzing the energy, one can figure out exactly who did the teleporting."

"So who is it?" Pinkie asked.

"Well, I can't be certain until I run a proper scan back at the TARDIS, as the energy is very faint and I can only seem to get a reading on a very small portion of the overall energy signature," the Doctor said, putting the sonic away, "What I can see is a fairly common kind of background radiation that shows up in a few different teleportation signals."

"Well then, we should back to the TARDIS, right?" Pinkie asked.

The Doctor nodded. "Exactly right. Come along you two," the Doctor said as he left the room, "We have a pony to find."

"Here we are," the Doctor said as they came up to the TARDIS.

"And where are we exactly?" Toby asked.

"This is the TARDIS. Remember the house Pinkie mentioned? This is it."

"Well, it certainly is smaller then mine. It doesn't look like you can even fit in there."

"Oh, you would be surprised at what can fit inside. Go on in."

"Um, okay," Toby said pushing open the door and stepping inside.

The Doctor and Pinkie followed him in. Toby stood just inside the door, eyes wide, mouth hanging open.

"So, what do you think?" the Doctor asked.

"It's… It's so much bigger on the inside," the young pony stammered.

"Oh, I never get tired of hearing that," the Doctor said smiling, "Welcome to the Time and Relative Dimension in Space, or TARDIS for short."

"Is that what it stands for?" Pinkie asked.

"Yes. Didn't I tell you?"

"Nope," Pinkie replied, shaking her head.

"Oh, well… There you go," the Doctor said, making his way to the console and placing his sonic into a small slot, "Alright, lets see what we got." The Doctor began typing away at the keyboard. "Hmm, well now that's interesting," he finally said after a moment.

"What is it?" Pinkie asked, moving to stand beside him.

"The TARDIS was able to detect a few more bits of the energy signature, but it could get the whole thing."

"What's that mean?" Toby asked.

"Well, it narrowed down the list of potential races who could've taken your sister, and, while that's admittedly good, it puts us right back where we were before."

"Oh," Toby said, looking at the ground.

"Don't you worry Toby," the Doctor said, "While running the scan, the TARDIS detected the same signal from somewhere close by. A town called," the Doctor looked at the screen and sighed, "Fillydelphia. Really? Oh, this world."

"Does that mean that whatever took my sister took somepony from there?" Toby asked.

"That is the most likely conclusion. Not only that, but the signal should be much fresher. I'll be able to get a much better reading off of it, and should be able to pinpoint just who it was. And who knows, maybe I can get a lock on their ship as well."

"Then that means we can save her, right?" Toby said excitedly.

"Yep," the Doctor nodded, pressing buttons and pulling levers. There was a whoosh, some grinding, and when it stopped, the Doctor turned to the two ponies behind him. "Lets go see what we can find."

The three of them walked out of the door. As soon as they stepped outside, Toby stopped and gasped. "We… We're in Fillydelphia…. But, how did we…?"

"I know. It's awesome, isn't it?" Pinkie said smiling.

"Yes, amazing, I know," the Doctor said moving past them, "And while I would love to stand around admiring the TARDIS, we have a much bigger issue at hand right now."

"At hoof," Pinkie interrupted.

"Sorry?" the Doctor said, turning to look at her.

"We have a much bigger issue at hoof," she replied.

"Is that really what you say here?"

The two ponies nodded, and the Doctor began to laugh. "Issue at hoof. Oh, this world…. Yes well, as I was saying, we have a much bigger issue at hoof right now. We need to find that signal. And we need to find it fast."

"Right," Pinkie nodded, "Lets get going then."

"Yeah!" Toby said excitedly, "Lets get my sister!"

"That's the spirit! Come on then! Vamos!" the Doctor said as he began to move again, than stopped, "Vamos? Ugh, no, that's terrible. No, no, bigger issue at hoof. Lets just be on our way."

"You sure he's okay?" Toby whispered to Pinkie as they followed the Doctor.

"I'm starting to think no," the pink mare replied.

The trek through the city was a strange one. Pinkie and Toby followed the Doctor as walked down streets seemingly at random, pointing his sonic screwdriver everywhere, and even doubling back upon his path several times. Finally, after what felt like hours, the came to a stop in front of large two-story house.

"Here we are," the Doctor said, looking up at the house, "This is where the signal is. Lets go in."

"Wait! This is someponies house Doctor," Pinkie said, "We can't just barge in there."

"Yes I know that," he replied, "I do think about these things you know."

"Then you have a plan?" Toby asked.

The Doctor nodded and walked up to the house. "Just follow my lead," he said and knocked on the door.

The door opened a moment later and they were greeted by a brick red unicorn. "Yes, can I help you?" he asked.

The Doctor pulled a small brown wallet from his saddlebag and held it open. "I'm detective John Smith. These are my assistants Pinkie Pie and Toby," he said gesturing to the two ponies behind him, "We're investigating the disappearances around Equestria."

"You're with the police? Then you're here about Emily, right?" the unicorn said, sounding excited.

"Yes. We're here about Emily. May we come in?"

"Yes, of course! Please, come in. Come in," the unicorn said, ushering the three of them inside.

"Doctor, how do you have a Fillydelphia police badge?" Pinkie whispered as the entered.

"I don't," he replied, opening the wallet, revealing a small piece of blank white paper, "This is psychic paper. Shows people whatever they want to see."

Pinkie looked at the paper, then shrugged. "It just looks blank to me."

"Hmm, how curious," he muttered, putting the wallet away.

The red unicorn led them down a short hallway and into a sitting room. A white unicorn sat on a couch, her back to them. "Honey, there's some ponies with the police here," he said, moving over to her.

The white unicorn turned and they could see that her eyes were red and puffy from crying and her cheeks were tear streaked. "Are they here about Emily?" she asked.

"Exactly right madam," the Doctor said, "Would you permit us to ask you a few questions?"

She nodded. "Yes, of course. Anything to get my little filly back."

"Right. Ok, lets see. When was it that your daughter disappeared?"

"Two days ago."

"Did anything odd happen on that day?"

"No," her husband responded shaking his head.

"And when exactly did she go missing?"

"During the night."

"What makes you say that?"

"Emily didn't come down for breakfast, so I went to see if she was okay and her room was empty."

"I see. Excuse us a moment," the Doctor said, turning to his companions. "What do you think?" he asked in a hushed voice.

"Sounds just like what happened to Alice," Toby said.

"Down the last detail. Normal day, then she goes poof in the middle of the night."

"So it's the same guys then?" Pinkie asked.

"That's looking more and more like the case every second." The Doctor turned back to the unicorns, saying, "I'd like to take a look at Emily's room, if that's alright."

"Of course," the white unicorn said.

"Thank you miss…"

"Susan," she replied.

"Thank you Miss Susan. Pinkie, you stay here and ask some more questions."

"Wait, why me?"

"Because I need to look at the room and Toby's a bit to performing an interrogation."

"Alright fine."

"Thank you. If you could lead way my good sir?" he said to the red unicorn.

"Yes, of course. This way," he replied leading them to a door upstairs. "This is Emily's room," he said as they approached it.

"Thank you for leading the way mister…"

"David."

"Yes, thank you David. We can take it from here."

"Sure," David said, heading back downstairs.

"Alright Toby, lets get to work."

The three ponies made their way away from the house about twenty minutes later.

"Well, that went okay, I guess," Pinkie said.

"Okay? It went better then okay! Those were unicorns!" the Doctor exclaimed happily, "Actual unicorns! You were right Pinkie Pie. Now if I could just see a pegasus…."

"Uh, Doctor, what about my sister?" Toby asked.

"Hmm? Oh yes, right. There was, as I suspected, much fresher teleportation energy in Emily's room, and I was able to get a full signal. Once we get back to the TARDIS, I'll be able to find out just who is behind all of this."

"And then we can save Alice?"

"Yes Toby. Then we can save Alice."

"Thank you so much Doctor!" the young pony exclaimed.

"Don't thank me quite yet Toby," the Doctor replied, "We still have to analyze the signal."

They continued forward for a few minutes in silence before the Doctor noticed something odd.

"Pinkie Pie, are you okay? You've been awfully quiet for while. Pinkie Pie?" He looked to his right and saw that the pink mare wasn't there. "Pinkie Pie!" he called out looking around, "Pinkie Pie, where are you!"

"Doctor, where did Pinkie go?" Toby asked looking around as well.

"I don't know Toby. I don't know."
