Chapter 2: Another TARDIS
Colgate's Clinic, a little after dawn…
As the mare with a striped mane and tail entered her clinic to start the day, Colgate felt like something was off; like something dreadful, yet somehow good, was about to happen to her. She felt as if an old part of her was returning. Just as she was thinking these thoughts, her head began to hurt and heard a voice. "Yes! The time has finally arrived! Hurry, you equine fool! Release me so I can claim new teeth for my collection!". "Who are you!? Show yourself!" the mare announced. "I am The Dentist! And I have no form yet, but The Doctor does! Quick, find him then release me! I will make you powerful beyond imagination…" Colgate sensed the voice she was hearing was malevolent beyond belief and refused. When she did, she began to scream as her head began to feel like it was on fire. "STOP! I'll do it!" Colgate yelled as she was still receiving pain. "Good, now begin searching, or a lot more than your head will hurt you this time!" She exited the clinic and began searching for a pony called The Doctor.
Meanwhile, at Sweet Apple Acres…
"Where did you first find Colgate, Applejack? Don't lie, I know you did!". "What the hay are you goin' on about? I did find Colgate while out in the fields, yes; but that doesn't give you the right to bug me about it Time Turner!" Applejack said. "THAT'S NOT MY NAME! Now you listen here, Applejack! That pony you discovered is more dangerous than Nightmare Moon herself and if we don't stop her from discovering what race she truly is, then all of Ponyville, Equestria and even the universe!" Applejack was shocked and suddenly frightened from the sudden change of mood. "Who are you then?" The orange mare asked. "If you really want to know who I am, I am THE DOCTOR. I'm a Time Lord. I come from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Casterberus. I'm the one who will save you and all six billion lives on this equine planet! Any more questions?" Applejack nodded no. "Good! Now where did you find Colgate?" The Doctor asked. "Ah found her in the south field near an odd-colored tree." The Doctor had a horrified look on his face. "WHAT COLOR WERE THE LEAVES? Were they orange, or did they look like rainbow colors?" Applejack looked surprised at how The Doctor knew what this tree looked like. "Yes, they were always those colors!"
"This tree is no simple tree, but in fact a TARDIS! Not just any old TARDIS either! This TARDIS was specially designed to sense a Time Lord's regret in order to open. This makes it especially dangerous around me. Derpy, when we get to the TARDIS, hand me a chameleon suit. It's basically the only defense I will have against Colgate.". "Why's that, doc? And what tree are we going to? I thought you wanted to see my farm a little more!" Applejack said. With this remark, The Doctor knew something must be disguising the TARDIS from onlooking ponies. "Applejack, where did you say Colgate was again?" Applejack looked confused. "I never mentioned where she was found, Doc.". "Derpy, it's worse than I thought. Any normal pony that looks at the TARDIS will have their memories altered or erased from their mind. We are safe, however because we've been exposed to the Time Vortex enough to protect our eyes and minds from the power of Perception Filters." Derpy showed an understanding look on her face. "Ah don't know what you two are talking ab-." The Doctor covered Applejack's mouth and used his Sonic Screwdriver on her mind. "There, that should at least keep recent memories from being altered any further. "What in tarnation!? How can I forget memories like that? I must've tried to buck that tree at least a hundred times! I also remember where it was! Follow me quickly if ya have any chance of stopping Colgate!" With that, the three ponies sprinted towards where the disguised TARDIS was and upon arrival, they see Colgate approaching them.
"That's the one! It's him!" The Doctor sensed the FOB watch trying to free its master's true self, so he threw on the Chameleon Suit and turned it on. Derpy and Applejack did the same. "Which one is it!?" Colgate became confused at which one was The Doctor, because they all looked like him now! "Release me! Release me and the pain will stop!" The FOB watch whispered to its master's mind. "Doctor! I need your help! This voice inside my head wants out! I know it's evil, so if you can help me, I will make sure it will never see the light of day!" The Doctor heard the blue mare and stepped forth, turning off his chameleon suit. "What you carry inside you is an insane Time Lord. If it gets out, you will be lost forever and will be replaced with a being called The Dentist. The reason you know so much about how teeth work is because the other personality buried inside you has made necklaces out of molars from her *gulps* victims." Colgate was shocked and horrified at what was just revealed to her. "In order to make sure The Dentist will never harm another being, I and my mentor, The President, stored the memories of her into a FOB watch and when it and you entered this dimension, it changed itself into your Cutie Mark. It's like mine, except it has a gold binding with Gallifreyan markings on it." Colgate turned her head to see her Cutie Mark, but was stopped by The Doctor.
"Do not, under any circumstances look at it! Your Cutie Mark's true identity has been revealed to you. If you look now, The Dentist will be free and all of creation will be threatened. If you want to see your Cutie Mark without harm, follow me." The Doctor walked to a tree, it scanned him and then said "TIME SIGNATURE IDENTIFIED. LORD DOCTOR, PLEASE GIVE VERBAL RECOGNITION" The Doctor whispered his true name to the console so no one heard it. "PASSPHRASE ACCEPTED. FURTHER SCANS SHOW REGRET IN HEARTS AND MIND. ENVIRONMENTAL SCANS SHOW THIS WORLD IS OF EQUINE ORIGIN. INDIVIDUAL SCAN REQUIRED FOR ENTRY" A blue beam shot out of the console and scanned all four ponies. "INDIVIDUAL SCAN COMPLETE. WELCOME, DOCTOR AND DENTIST" The side of the tree opened and The Doctor and Colgate entered and the entrance closed once again. "What was that!? Was that the Tardiwhozit?" Applejack asked Derpy. "It's called a TARDIS, and I have a lot of explaining to give you and the other Element Bearers…"
Author's Note: Hey there! Another chapter, another writer's block! I'm kidding, but if you do want to use OC's, just PM me! (If you didn't know what OC's are, they are fan made ponies from pony generators that people use in their stories). Another thing, i would appreciate some reviews so i feel like i did a good job. And remember: Keep Calm and Flutter On!
