"At last! It has finally absorbed 100% of his power. Now I just need to transfer the power over to myself. Yes! I can feel the chaos flowing though me. Now there is nothing that could stand in my way."
Hyperguy lead his guest into the dining room. "It's going to take a short while to make the proper accommodations to lunch," he said walking to his seat. "However, the salad doesn't need to be changed, so we can get started right away." He sat down. "I just realized; you don't need chairs." He waved his hand and Maxwell moved two of the table's chairs out of the room. The Doctor and Ditzy stepped up to the table close to the eccentric nobleman.
"So just what is the chef preparing for us?" the Doctor asked.
"Well, he was preparing a lasagna," Hyperguy answered. "It's shouldn't be that hard to accommodate for you. All he has to do is make a second one with different ingredients."
"What sort of ingredients are in Lasagna?" Ditzy asked.
"To be honest, I never really thought about what's in lasagna; I mostly just eat it. I suppose the two key ingredients are pasta and cheese, and then you just put in whatever you feel like. Wait, do ponies even eat cheese?"
"Well, we drink milk, I guess it would be harmful if we had cheese," replied the Doctor.
"Good, it would be terrible if the lasagna was to be wasted."
"Hyperguy, what is the date?" the Doctor inquired as a caeser salad was place before them. "Of course, I mean using the Earth calendar."
"It is currently December 20, 2011 on the Terran calendar," Answered the Duke of Notrelluf. "Which reminds me that I need to buy a Christmas gift for my fiancée."
"Do people from Hammerspace celebrate Christmas?"
"Not many do. I celebrate it because my fiancée is human."
"Really, where is she from?"
"She's from Britain."
"Aren't Brits just wonderful?"
"Absolutely."
"Um, can we talk about something that I can talk about?" Ditzy interrupted.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Where are my manners?" Hyperguy replied. "What is it you wish to talk about?"
"Do you have any family?" Ditzy asked.
"Of course I do. I wouldn't be Duke of Notrelluf if I wasn't part of the Hammerspacian royal family, now would I?"
"I guess so," the grey pegasus said as the wait staff took the salad dishes and brought out the lasagnas.
"Um, Hyperguy, there seems to be a lot of lasagna for just the three of us," the equine time lord commented.
"Oh, I didn't know how hungry you were. Plus, I always have the staff prepare more in case a friend or two stops by."
"And what happens if no one shows up?"
"Kilroy's happy to eat whatever's left."
"Who's Kilroy?" asked Ditzy.
"I am," said a voice from beneath the table. Ditzy's eyes diverged as she leaped from the table. The Doctor looked under to see a cat with short golden fur come out.
"Oh, for time's sake, Ditzy, it's just a cat."
"What do you mean, 'just a cat?'" the feline said with a displeased look on its face. "I happen to be pedigree, you know."
"Oh, that's adorable, the cat talks." The Doctor began to pet the cat.
"I guess you could be of some use," Kilroy said purring.
"What kind of cat is that?" Ditzy asked walking back up to her place.
"Kilroy is a Hammerspacian Werecat," Hyperguy explained. "They have the ability to take a humanoid form."
"That reminds me," the Doctor replied. "Is Maxwell a werewolf?"
"Why, yes he is."
"Isn't that a bit dangerous, having a werewolf for a butler?"
"Our werewolves are different."
Then, all of a sudden, something mysterious happened to the room. Everything except for the living creatures changed color. To be specific, the colors inverted.
"Is this one of your parlor tricks, Hyperguy?" the Doctor asked bemused.
"No, it's one of mine," said a figure that appeared at the other end of the table. The Doctor could barely make him out, but he looked like an inverted Hyperguy.
"Hello, Sherlac," Hyperguy said nonchalantly. "Did you come to have some lunch, or did you have another plan to defeat me?"
"Oh, I must say, this plan is sure to succeed," Sherlac said with an insane smile. "For I have obtained the power of a god of chaos, and I shall use it to destroy you."
"I didn't think you had the guts to fight a god of chaos," Hyperguy replied.
"I didn't have to fight him. He was encased in stone."
"Then I take it that the god of chaos that you are referring to is Discord."
Of course, and the irony is that chaos is running rampant all over Equestria, and they are baffled as to why the spirit is still petrified."
"Chaos is all over Equestria?" Ditzy said to herself.
"I suppose you have hidden the Elements of Harmony as well," Hyperguy commented.
"Absolutely, they have no idea of what's going on."
"That's not like you, Sherlac. I imagined you would have gloated to them by now."
"As a matter a fact, that does sound like a good idea. I'll be right back." Then, two unicorns, two pegasi, two earth ponies, and two alicorns appeared. "Okay I'm back."
"Wait," said the Doctor, "did he just time travel."
"It's called Dimensional Distortion," Hyperguy explained. "All Hammerspacians have that ability.
"Seriously, Sherlac, did you think you could send the element bearers here? I can just send them back."
"Not so fast. I place an inversion seal on this room. Only I can get out. I guess the extra lasagna's going to be eaten after all." Sherlac cackled as he disappeared.
"Well, this is a bit of a pickle," the Doctor said.
"I say it is," Hyperguy replied. "There's not enough place settings."
