CHAPTER SIX
Regeneration is Magic
After five years of defending Equestria from evil, the Doctor and the ponies were living in harmony once again. Twilight had come to visit him in Canterlot and he was pleased to her. "Hey, Twilight!" he said excitedly. "Hey, Doctor" replied Twilight. "What brings you to Canterlot?" he asked. "I thought I'd drop in and see how things are going" "Things are going just fine thank you. And yourself" said the Doctor. "I'm doing fine also. My friends want to see you again. Would you care to come visit us in Ponyville?" said Twilight. "I'd love to" replied the Doctor, and he returned to Ponyville with her, where Pinkie threw him a big welcome back party. Rarity stepped in. "It is lovely to see you again, darling" she said. Rainbow Dash flew up to him. "We've missed ya! Great to have you back" she said. Fluttershy stepped in. "It's lovely to see you again, Doctor. We've missed you hoofloads" she assured him. Applejack smiled. "It certainly is great to see you again, sugarcube" she said. Pinkie danced for joy. "You've been gone for sooooooooo long! We thought you'd left us for good" she told him. "Pinkie!" cried Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Applejack, all in unison. "What?" replied Pinkie. "We may be living in peace now and all, but the Doctor did help us ward off those monsters. It's not appropriate to speak to him like that" Rarity scolded. "Now Rarity don't over-react. I completely understand what Pinkie was trying to say" the Doctor told her. "Oh.. That's OK, then" replied Rarity, embarrassed. The Doctor started to feel weak and began to glow. "Stamd back, everypony!" ordered Twilight. The Doctor managed to remain standing. Everypony stood back as the Doctor burst out with regenerative energy, mixing with Equestrian magic, leading to his body completely changing shape as he found himself on all fours, spouting pony ears, a tail and a mane. Whilst he remained levitating in a field of Equestrian magic, his transformation completed and he landed softly on the ground, earning a new Cutie Mark simultaneously. He rubbed his eyes. They were all amazed. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Doctor, you've become... A pony! That must have been some regeneration!" exclaimed Applejack. "The Doctor's one of us now? That is so awesome!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash. Rarity noticed that his Cutie Mark symbolised his protective side with a picture of a sword and shield. "That is just the right Cutie Mark for you, darling" she told him. So, the Doctor had indeed regenerated into a pony due to the Equestrian magic he'd absorbed mixing with his regenerative energy.
