Chapter 12

Each Apple has its Day

It is a quiet night in the Apple family farm, as far as anypony looking in from afar can see. Nothing, but just lush trees and apples…until you hear a loud boom and huge cloud dust appearing in the middle of the orchard. If one were to zoom in, they could see a battle underway as a giant tree-like monster leaped into the air and landed right in the middle of three ponies as they rolled out of the way.

"Applejack, are you okay?!" a certain silver colt yelled to an orange mare.

"Ah'm Ahright! Pinkie, You okay?!" She answered

"I'm okie dokie loky!" Pinkie answered back. Keyblade in mouth, Riku charged at the Heartless tree, landing two hits with one swing before backing off as it tried to swipe at him with its branches. He ran circles around it as fast as he could, the tree tried to turn in order to keep up with him. As the Heartless tree was distracted, Applejack took this opportunity to run straight up behind it and was about to give it a nice double hoof buck to its backside when she was suddenly tossed back, by the second Heartless tree. Disoriented, she cleared her head just in time to see the Heartless come for her again with a branch, she rolled on her side to dodge and run. Nearby, Pinkie was having trouble with the third tree, as she blasting away at it with her dough-loaded Party Cannon. As she continued firing away, the tree just kept whacking the dough away or letting it stick to its branches.

"Uhhh guys, I think we might be in trouble here." Pinkie stated, after seeing how the Heartless was pretty much unharmed save for its now sticky with dough branch limbs.

"Ah think we can see that Pinkie!" Applejack replied.

"Girls, try using your Elements!" Riku suggested loudly nearly getting his head smacked by a flying rotten apple being distracted. As he suggested the two went for their back and pulled out similar necklaces with jewels adorning same style of their respective cutie marks. They put them on and the jewels burned a light glow, before dimming.

"Oooooh pretty." Pinkie exclaimed seeing the neat glow effect. She rushed off and once again tried firing her Party cannon at her opponent. However, nothing really changed it was just another blast of dough that hit the branch arm of the Heartless. However, this time the dough flashed and suddenly exploded with confetti, damaging the Heartless.

"Neato! I didn't know my element made things blow up with confetti!" Pinkie said surprised.

Trying to not be distracted by Pinkie's outburst, Applejack also put on her own element, unfortunately, as she was equipping it the Heartless she was fighting was already towering over her with a branch in the air ready to smash her with it.

"Oh my." Applejack said as she gulped closed her eyes and waited for the impact. Luckily for her, Riku saw the Heartless earlier and charged straight at it following up with a leap and gave it a heavy swing, staggering it.

"Applejack, now's your chance!" He called out loudly. Upon hearing his voice the orange mare swung around and gave that tree a bucking that sent it flying up in the air for five feet off the ground.

"Whoa nelly! When did I get that strong?!" Applejack exclaimed wide eyed.

"It's your elements! They must be increasing your strengths to make you more powerful then you normally are!" Riku answered as he blocked an incoming branch, he then readied his sword to go into a lunge and struck the Heartless from behind and followed up with two swings of his sword using his mouth before finishing with another heavy swing. But as he finished the Heartless swung one its branches and threw Riku away. As Riku was thrown into the air he flipped around and fired yelled

"FIRE!" as another black fireball blasted from his keyblade.

As the trio kept fighting, certain small blue creature was watching them from afar, silently watching the three put up their best against their wooden assailants. In the Station of Serenity the cloaked figure was once again watching a screen silently with the masked boy, who decided to break said silence after about five minutes of watching the Heartless getting their roots handed back to them by Riku and the two mares.

"Are we really just going to watch this? They're obviously going to win with how weak the Heartless are." Vanitas asked.

"Come now, my masked adolescent friend. Surely you would want to keep watch on their progress after all we need him for our plan to succeed." The cloaked figure replied.

"But do we really need to keep watch on him almost the entire time? I'm getting bored out of my mind here." Vanitas exasperatedly sighed out.

"You need a hobby." The cloaked figure said jokingly.

"So what's the point of this anyway? We already have those brothers working on the palm of our hand do we really need to keep watch on them when we already know what's going to happen?" Vanitas asked.

"Of course, we do, after all we don't want any… mishaps, do we?" he said while fiddling with his fingers.

"It'll just mean what I said about them before was true, he's a weakling and we need someone else." Vanitas replied.

"And I don't feel like waiting for another millennia just to get out of here, so I'm going to make sure that THIS 'Weakling' does what I have planned. So sit back, have some chocolate milk of glass and enjoy the show." The figure said irritated while handing Vanitas a glass of chocolate milk. Taking it he lies back on the couch lifts up his mask, and takes a sip as he goes back to watching.

Riku, however, was not having a relaxing time sitting on a couch, drinking chocolate milk, he'd like to, but having a giant tree monster trying to smack its branches into your face kind of prevents that. Good thing he was about to wrap things up.

"Girls, come together, I have an idea on how to end this nice and fast!" He yelled over to Applejack and Pinkie.

"Righty-oh!" Pinkie replied back as she blasted the heartless with her party cannon sending it flying through the air.

"Comin your way, sugahcube!" Applejack replied back as she bucked the Heartless she was fighting towards the one Pinkie sent flying. They crashed together and at that moment, Riku had pointed his keyblade once again at the Heartless and yelled

"Wind!" And a gust of air swirled around the three creatures creating a miniature tornado that picked up rocks and twigs nearby as they swirled they were battered cut and smashed into each other. As the wind settled the monsters looked around and didn't see the three ponies at all. But suddenly, they heard their voices from above!

"Trinity Limit!" They cried at the same time, and a large magic circle encompassing the three started to grow and a flash of light appeared. The Heartless were encompassed by the light and soon became wisps as three hearts were released into the night the light subsided, the victorious trio were celebrating their victory.

"That was FUN! LET'S DO IT AGAIN! AGAIN!" Pinkie yelled as she hopped around them.

"Ah gotta say that was some light show. Riku, did you do that?" Applejack asked the silver colt.

"Sort of, it kind of happens from time to time with the keyblade, I actually don't really know what triggers it but the keyblade sort of tells me when it pops up, usually at the most best of times actually." Riku tried to explain.

"Well Ah'm sure glad it did when it did, cause hooooooey! That was probably one of the strangest rowdiest hoedowns Ah've EVER been in apart from the other one we had." Applejack proclaimed.

Riku smiled sheepishly. "Well we figured out why the apple treats were causing such a problem, but how exactly do we explain it? I mean it's not like I can just reveal the existence of the Heartless to the public." Riku pondered out loud.

"Well if ya ask me, I say we should just tell them the truth, after all Honesty is the best policy for things like this." Applejack suggested.

"Uhhhh but what about that whole bridgey thingy? You know when enough ponies know about other worlds then suddenly a connection?" Pinkie reminded Applejack.

"Oh right Ah fergot bout that." Applejack replied a bit sheepishly while pulling her hat down to cover her eyes.

"It's okay, I know you just want to let everypony know what really happened with those treats." Riku consoled. "But if we're dealing with the Heartless too we need to be careful about letting things slip."

"I should know! I almost let things slip all the time!" Pinkie interjected. "Like when I hold butter to make some cupcakes and it just goes right through my hooves, or when I'm trying to catch little Pumpkin whenever she starts to make herself fly with her magic or when –"

"Uhhh Pinkie? Ah think we get the idea." Applejack interrupted. Placing a hoof on her excitable friend's shoulder. "So what's the plan Riku? You thought of anythin yet?" Applejack asked.

"Hmmm, well to be honest I'm not sure. This seemed a little too easy. Plus we made a lot of treats I'm not too sure if three Heartless could actually make that many apples for those treats. There's probably a lot more of them in your orchard." Riku surmised. He would know of course. He's seen how the Heartless act, they often come in much larger groups then just this. Plus they tend to be hiding everywhere they can even in plain sight or just plain pop out of nowhere when you're least expecting it. "I think we should continue looking around more. Three Heartless are just too few to make that many apples. Also I get this feeling that we might not be only be dealing with Heartless for some reason." Riku said after some thought.

"What makes ya say that?" Applejack asked.

"I have a gut feeling." Riku replied.

"Ooh! Ooh!" Pinkie Pie was excitably crying as she waved her hoof out around. "I think I found us a clue!" She said as she went to a nearby bush. She reached in with a hoof and somehow in some way grabbed something and pulled it out. It was a strange blue mouse like creature with jagged ears and sharp limbs with no digits or claws and with red eyes.

"Another Heartless Critter?!" Applejack cried.

"No, it's not a Heartless whatever it is, at least it doesn't seem to be a heartless." Riku replied. It certainly resembled closely to a Shadow Heartless but the shape and color was completely off it also seems more angry looking then even some more ferocious Heartless he faced off against. The weirder thing is if it was a Heartless why didn't it attack them? After all most of these Heartless are all aggressive save for those weird mushroom-like Heartless Sora told him about. The little creature struggled to break free of Pinkie's grasp and was able to meld to the ground to escape.

"Hey!" Pinkie cried. "Oh no you don't!" she followed after the creature with Applejack and Riku in tow. They chased it for a while until it just jumped and warped itself away in a strange orb. "Hey that's cheating!" Pinkie Pie pouted.

"Just what was that critter hidin in that bush fer?" Applejack pondered outloud.

"I don't know, but to be honest… I think it was spying on us." Riku surmised. "It didn't attack us even though it was nearby, it just watched us and it although it resembled a Heartless it wasn't one."

"I'm getting a bad feeling from all this Riku." Applejack shared her thoughts as she Riku, and Pinkie stared at the spot where the creature was before it disappeared.

In the Serenity Station, the cloaked figure sitting on the couch with Vanitas moved his head to face him. "Well that was a close one. Now they know that somepony's been watching them." He complained.

"How was I supposed to know that pink one saw my Unverse?" Vanitas retorted, he was definitely surprised though. "How did that pony noticed his Unverse, without him noticing her? When did she even see it?" he thought. "Well in any case I'll just have to use a more sneaky one next time."

"At least we know now to be more careful when Pinkie is around. I swear that Pony has eyes on the back of her head." The cloak figure said as he scratched what maybe his chin. "Oh well, at least they don't know who we are, now THAT would be bad, after all it would ruin the little surprise I have for them. Heheheheh." The mysterious figure giggled as he rubbed his hands together.

"Well Then what's the next part of this plan?" Vanitas asked.

"Oh it's coming, in fact we only need to sit down and watch." The mysterious figure said as he put up his feet on the couch as he turned his head back to the image on the screen which showed the image of Applejack, Riku and Pinkie Pie talking to each other with the two latter leaving the farm and splitting up.

Riku, Applejack, and Pinkie had agreed it was certainly late and although there may be more of those Heartless trees around it would be best to wait till tomorrow morning to come back to hunting them down along with Twilight to help out. Thus, for now the three decided to head back to their respective residences to rest up for tomorrow. Riku was in the middle of town walking back to the library, thinking very hard, this face was screwed with worry.

"This sure has been one crazy day. Applejack might be losing her farm and we only have six more days to figure out how to fix all this. I hope Applejack is going to be okay, she lives on that farm after al,l if the Heartless come after her or her family… I'd never be able to forgive myself." Riku sighed as he approached Twilight's home. "I wonder how I'm going to search for Sora's heart fragments while doing this…" Opening the door while downhearted, Twilight approached him upon seeing him walk in.

"Riku! How was the search did you find out what was the cause? And are you alright?" Twilight asked rather quickly and worriedly. Riku looked up to her before answering telling her what had happened tonight. "That's terrible! Then doesn't that mean Applejack is in danger!?" She cried.

"That's what I said." Riku replied. "But she just told me she and her family can take of themselves and that me and Pinkie shouldn't worry and just rushed us out. We were going to head back there in the morning to find the rest of the Heartless." Riku said pausing before continuing. "To be perfectly honest, I'm not too keen on the idea on leaving them alone. I'm thinking of heading back there to do a little more looking around." He said.

"I agree, in fact I'm coming along too!" Twilight insisted right before trying to stifle a yawn but was failing horribly at doing so.

"Uhh maybe you should go to bed. You must be pretty tired." Riku said.

"No way, I'm coming along! Applejack is one of my best friends and I'm not going to let her possibly get hurt just because I'm a little sleepy. I'm not taking no for an answer either!" Twilight insisted, before stifling another yawn. Riku understood Twilight's reasoning for wanting to go so badly. Applejack was a dear friend to her, and she would do anything to make sure she was alright. But it was very late and this Pony was up since early morning visiting her friends at the hospital and plus all the excitement the last few days, it would tire any pony out.

As such before she could react Riku summoned his keyblade and said one word:

"Sleep."

With that one word, a very tiny but fluffy sheep fell on Twilight's head, disappearing right after it landed, causing Twilight to suddenly get drowsy before falling straight to sleep. Catching her before she fell, Riku took her to her room and tucked her in her bed before heading back out to Applejack's farm.

"Sorry, Twilight, I know Applejack is your friend and you really wanted to help but with how tired you were, you'd probably wouldn't be able to think as well as you normally do." Riku thought to himself as he dashed off to the farm. When he arrived, he went straight to it. "Now let's see where those Heartless are hiding." Riku said to himself. As he walked in, he listened as carefully as he could. He could hear the clopping of his hooves, his eyes darting around and as he turned around his head to see if he could spot anything out of the ordinary, he walked slowly making sure to catch everything as he followed the beaten path that served as a road to the house where Applejack's family stayed. Earlier, before Riku reached Twilight's library home, a certain orange blonde mane mare was pacing around her room, in her house on a hill surrounded by apple trees. Her face was wrought with worry.

"Ugh Ah can't sleep, not while knowing those things are out there, but ah know Riku and Pinkie need their rest and honestly so do Ah, But who can sleep at a time like this?!" Applejack thought. She was worried the whole time and didn't know what to do. Plus she had no pony she could confide to. Two of her friends are probably in agony in the hospital because of the treats SHE sold them, the other three were probably exhausted and probably needs rest, and there's no way she could talk to her family about this considering how she needed to keep what was really going on a secret lest a bridge is created to connect this world to others. She just wasn't sure what to do.

CREAK! CREAK! CLUNK!

"What the hay was that?" Applejack said aloud to herself.

CREAK! CREAK! CLUNK!

"Outside?" She thought. Applejack rushed to her window to check what was out there, but unfortunately she couldn't see very well with how dark it was, however, there were some movements among the trees so whatever it was, it was big. "Heartless!" She thought, she was about to rush to the door when it opened itself. "Applebloom? What are you doin outta bed, little sis?" Applejack asked her little sister a bit curious and mostly worried.

"Ah, heard something outside sis, it was really loud, Ah thought AH was just havin a nightmare or something but then I heard it again comin from outside." She said with a frown.

CREAK! CREAK! CLUNK!

The sound groaned from outside. Applejack had her head turned to her window figuring it was probably that same shadowy shape that was probably a Heartless she figured. When she turned her head again to face Applebloom she was nowhere in sight. That is until she heard a whimper from below her and saw her beloved little sister, frightened and clutching at her leg.

"Ah'm scared sis!" She whimpered. Those words broke her heart. In their very own home, her little sister was frightened because of creatures outside. Well, she'll have none of that! No pony frightens her little sister in their very own home much less any critter! She put a hoof on her sister and brushed her mane comforting her.

"Now don't you worry Applebloom everythin's gonna be okay, it's probably just uhhh probably some night critter trying to get into our trash." Applejack reasoned.

"But, Applejack, our trash is all the way at the end of the fence, the sound is so close." Applebloom refuted a bit confused.

"It uhh must be a really loud critter." Applejack reasoned smiling nervously. Applebloom just looked at her with a raised eyebrow not believing her lie. "Look, little sis, Ah promise that whatever it is out there, it's nothing to be afraid of and even if it is, don't you worry, cause Ah'll take care of it." She told her.

"Really?" Applebloom asked.

"Really, cause Ah'm gonna go check out what's makin that noise so you head on back to bed okay? Ah, promise Ah'll be right back and let you know what it was." Applejack reassured as she headed out the door, passing Big Mac along the way. "Big Mac make sure Applebloom gets her sleep, tonight is a school night after all, Ah'll be right back." She told him.

"Eeeyup." The red stallion nodded as he watched his little sister walk out the door.

Upon exiting her door, Applejack noticed a shadow coming up from the road to her house. She pulled out her Element of Harmony and put on before getting into a ready stance and called out. "Who's there?! Ya better tell me who you are or ya gonna get a bucking that'll send ya to next Tuesday!" Applejack cried out.

"Applejack, it's me! I came back to check up on you!" A familiar voice cried back.

"Riku?" Applejack asked surprised.

"Sorry, I know you wanted us to go home to rest but… I got worried knowing you have to be here with your family with all Heartless running about." He explained.

"Ah see." She said before giving him a hug. "Thanks, I shouldn'ta sent you and Pinkie away, Ah'm actually a little worried. Ah heard a weird noise earlier."

Riku, a bit surprised from the hug earlier but quickly regained his composure, looked around and tried to listen. "By any chance did it go 'Creak Creak Clunk'?" He asked.

"Yeah! That's what Ah been hearing all night! Ah was going to check it out when I saw you comin. Ah thought you were wonna them Heartless critters." She stated.

"Well I was following the sound earlier when I ended up here in front of your house, shall we look together then?" Riku asked.

"Much appreciated to be honest." Applejack agreed giving a bit of a sheepish smile.

The two started following the sound whenever it was heard. It wasn't long after that they were very deep in the orchard, near the Western Orchard in which case Applejack warned Riku to be careful of because of all the fruit bats that suddenly nested there. As they followed the sound they ran into more Heartless, luckily Riku and Applejack was more than enough to take them out. However, it wasn't long after some time that the sound stopped.

"What happened? I don't hear anything."

"Me neither, how'd a critter so big disappear without making as much as a squeak?" Applejack asked.

"I don't know but I do know that's how they get around sometimes."

"Applejack, do you-oof!" Riku grunted as he was hit from behind with something heavy. Struggling to stand, he dropped to his knees looking up trying to see who attacked him but alas the darkness was creeping up on him and made it hard for him to see. With the last thing he saw before darkness taking him was of Applejack calling out his name before a pony from behind her knocked her out as well.

"Uuuugh, what hit me?" Riku groaned.

"A coupla snakes in the grass is who." Applejack groaned as well right beside him.

"Applejack, what happened and where are we?" Riku asked as he looked around.

"We're still on the farm, I'd say this is the West Orchard. Also Ah think we're in a bit of a bind here." Applejack stated as she looked down. Doing the same, Riku saw that they were tied up bound to an apple tree upright.

"Why are we tied up?!" Riku asked a bit surprised.

"Ah reckon the ponies that did it wanted to keep us from looking around. Ah think we might be on to the ponies who done brought those Heartless trees here!" Applejack surmised.

"Urrrgh!" Riku grunted, trying to break free of the rope. "It's no good I can't break this rope." He sighed.

"Why can't you just use your keyblade? I thought it could unlock things? Or you could cut us free?" Applejack asked. "Can't." Riku simply answered. "The keyblades power can only work on locks, metaphorical or not, this isn't a lock, it's a knot. Not exactly something a key can unlock."

"So then just cut it?" She asked.

"I can't do that either, I need more momentum in my swing to be able to cut, I'd do no different from hitting it with a metal rod, trying to swing it." He explained.

"So we're basically stuck?" She asked.

"Yeah unless somepony comes by and rescues us." Riku answered. Applejack sighed disappointedly. This was obviously a bad situation, they have no idea when morning will come and even then they need somepony to come help them. Plus calling out right now was dangerous it may attract Heartless as well, it seemed quite hopeless to their predicament right now. "Well we can't really do anything else right now… perhaps we should talk?" Riku suggested.

"Talk? Riku, we're tied up to an apple tree while there are Celestia knows how many them Heartless critters and a coupla ponies that could be controlling them running around and ya want ta talk?!" Applejack cried out.

"Well yeah, not like we can do much else right?" Riku explain. Applejack had a thoughtful look for a moment a bit surprised and realized he was right…

"Ah guess ya got a point there." Applejack sighed. "Sorry for snappin at ya." Applejack apologized.

"It's alright, Applejack, I know you're worried but for now we just have to wait until morning." Riku consoled.

"Well then what do ya want to talk about?" Applejack asked him.

"Well, hmmm." Riku said before thinking. "Oh! I do have a question." Riku realized.

"What is it?" Applejack asked back.

"Well I just noticed something about your family." Riku explained

"Like?" Applejack urged on.

"Well I know you're Applebloom and Big Mac's sister. And I know Granny Smith is your grandmother, right?" Riku explained.

"Right and?" Applejack feeling a bit irritated how Riku was beating around the bush.

"Well, this Apple Orchard, err, farm you guys have, it's your family's, right?" Riku asked again.

"Yes, it is it's been in the family since Granny Smith's generation." Applejack answered, a bit dreading after she realized what he might be asking about.

"Well, I noticed how young Applebloom was… and the only ponies I've seen live with her are you, your brother and your grandma… where are your parents?" Riku asked. Applejack looked down on the ground. Her hat covering her eyes, her face solemn.

"My… our parents… they passed away a while ago." She answered her voice sorrowful.

"Oh… I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" Riku started apologizing.

"Nah, it's alright, you didn't know and, yeah, I guess anypony not from around here would've wondered about that once they got to know us." She started. "Ma died right when Applebloom was born." She paused. "Ah don't know why Ah'm tellin you this Riku, it's kinda strange since Ah never even told mah other friends about it, but do you think you could keep this a secret?" She asked.

"Sure." Riku answered simply a bit confused.

Applejack told her story. How her mother had a weak heart since she was born. And how much stress she was under when she already had Applejack. And suddenly they decided to have another baby when Applejack was a filly. Unfortunately her mother's weak heart couldn't handle the stress of another birth. She passed away shortly after naming Applebloom. Her father had tried to carry on the farm work by himself considering how Big Mac wasn't old enough and Applejack was still a filly plus he had a foal to feed now as well and Granny Smith was much too old to keep working. Things were alright for a while, however, it was shortly after Applebloom had learned how to walk, but not yet speak when an accident struck. While resting on a hill from moving a wagon cart of apples, the braking handle on the wagon had broken off, and exhausted from working so hard for so long he had fallen asleep, he had been carried off the hill and off a cliff. Applejack's father didn't survive.

"I-I'm sorry, Applejack." Riku said… He didn't know what to say, I mean, what do you say to a pony that was telling you how their parents had died?

"That wasn't even the worst of it… for a while… Ah blamed Applebloom for their deaths." Applejack admitted shamefully.

"What? Why?!" Riku asked shocked at the revelation.

"Well, when pa died, Ah just couldn't stop myself from blamin her, Ah kept thinking things like, if she wasn't born, this wouldn'ta happened to pa and ma wouldn't had died!" She cried sobbing in between her words. It was a while before either of them spoke. "You must think Ah'ma horrible sister and pony for thinking like that about Applebloom, huh?" Applejack asked more rhetorically then seriously.

"That depends… do you still blame her?" Riku answered with a question.

"Of course not! Ah love Applebloom, as much as any other pony in my family. Because that's what she is… Family, and you don't hate your family!" She stated adamantly.

"Then my answer is no, I don't think you're a horrible pony or sister. I think you're probably the best sister any pony could ask for. After all, you love her, that's all that matters." Riku explained and smiled. Smiling back comforted by his words Applejack thanked him.

"Thanks for that Riku… Whoo, Ah feel like a weight has been lifted off mah shoulders. Heheh, Ah guess Ah just needed somepony to talk to." She admitted.

"Glad to have helped Applejack besides what are friends for?" Riku answered. She smiled a thankful smile, before she heard a crack like a branch being stepped on.

"Who's there?!" She yelled out.

"No need to shout, it's just us after all." A shadowy figure nearby said before another one showed up as well,

"By the way, wonderful story, I think I almost had a tear in my eye." The other chipped in before the two stepped forward under the moonlight two certain stallions.

"Flim and Flam!" Riku yelled loudly. The two just smiled like having two ominous crescent moons for mouths

Author's notes:

Sorry for taking so long for this chapter everyone, I've just been so busy, you all know how real life can be sometimes. Anyway I finally got a chapter up yay! And no worries I plan to put up more obviously though I admit this chapter was a bit boring for me except the beginning and the ending anyway. But you know what? I decided to give you guys a bit of a preview for something I had in mind for the filler chapter after this arc, which will be right after the next chapter. :D Something I had in mind to do for a while.

Preview: Chapter 14 (Filler arc)

He ran as fast as he could. He was looking back when he saw the strange creatures that stood there only to creep closer to him every time he looked away. He just kept running as fast as he could. He know he couldn't fight them every time he tried to take them out they just kept rebuilding themselves. He knew for sure at least they weren't Heartless. But whatever they were, they were after him for some reason.

"Oh man I can't keep running like this forever, I gotta find somewhere to hide or something!" Riku thought. He couldn't fight them so he had no choice but to run, but he couldn't figure out where to run to everywhere he would go it would more likely bring those things to other ponies. He had to find a secluded place and fast!

"Riku! Over here, you can come in here!" a familiar girlish voice yelled out to him. Riku turned his head to face a house where by the entrance door stood a familiar grey wall-eyed mare waving at him to come inside quickly. Thinking that it might be better to do so then to keep running around town to lead the pack of monsters to a populated area, he quickly rushed to where the mare was and ran through the door as she locked and closed the door. She then quickly urged him upstairs.

"Quick! Quick! Upstairs! Upstairs! There's a pony I know that can help us!" She urged quietly.

"Derpy! Do you know what those things are? Just what are they?! I keep trying to knock them into pieces but they just form themselves right back!" Riku nearly cried.

"Shhhhh! Don't worry, just go upstairs and get through the attic. The pony I'm talking about is up there, he might be in a big blue box but, don't worry, it's a lot bigger on the inside he'll help trust me! Just let him know I sent you." Derpy explained before running back to the door.

"I'll distract them, so just go! Oh! And tell him the Weeping Pegasi are back!" She yelled back before flying out a window.

"Wait, Derpy! What are Weeping Pegasi?! And who is this pony?!" Riku yelled back but it was too late Derpy was too far to hear him. "Guess no choice, I guess I better find this pony in a blue box." He thought. Riku walked up the stairs as fast as he could. When he reached the top he found himself in a hallway where by the end of to his right was a string hanging from a door in the ceiling. "Must be the attic." He thought.

He plucked it with his mouth and down propped the stairs. As he went up, he heard a crashing sound. He ran back to the stairs only to come face with… a stone statue of a Pegasus covering its eyes with its hooves.

"Oh crud!" He said as he hurried back to the stairs to the attic. He turned back and saw the Stone statue reached the top of the stairs. He hurried up and pulled the stairs up found the lock to keep it in place, so the statue could not come up. He quickly looked around. And he saw… a literal big blue box. In fact it looked big enough for several ponies to fit in… if they were stacked on top of one another, he also noticed it had something written on the top.

"Police Call Box." He said to himself, Wondering what that meant. He quickly went up to the blue box and tried to open it, only to find out it was locked. "Hey! Anypony in there?!" He cried out. Then he heard loud knocking him behind him. The attic door was shaking from the statue pounding away at it. "I got to hurry!" he thought. He quickly summoned his keyblade and pointed at the lock on the door of the box. A light beamed from it and after it subsided, a clack sound was heard.

Riku quickly rushed to the door as soon as he did the attic door busted open. He had no time to lose. He quickly opened the door entered and slammed it shut behind him and locked the door once again with his keyblade. "That was close!" he thought. He took a moment to catch his breath.

"What?!" A voice said. Riku looked around and saw a brown Earth pony stallion with an hourglass cutie mark trotting up to him. "What?!" The stallion said as he reached him. "How did you get in here?! I locked that door, I made sure of that, who are you?!" The brown pony asked with a British accent a bit crossed.

"Uhh I'm Riku but… who are you?" Riku asked with a completely bewildered look on his face.

"Me? I'm the Doctor." The brown stallion answered.

"Doctor?... Doctor… Who?" Riku asked again still confused.

"Just the Doctor." The Doctor answered smiling.
