This can not be happening...please tell me this didn't just happen!
"I-I'm sure that's completely normal, are his vital signs okay?"
"Hmm let me get the sphygmomanometer, if he makes any sudden moments, call in a nurse or tell them to ring me."
Nurse Redheart exited the room and left the anxious Whooves with the unconscious draconequus.
"Oh you stupid bloke, why did you have to go and touch everything. Now everything is going to be on me... Like if I don't have any more guilt on me..."
He sighed and trotted over beside Discord's side.
"You're a very smart and cunning creature...well sometimes you are but either way, I'm sure your mind will be okay with my consciousness."
Whooves leaned over Discord and examined him closely.
"What I don't understand is why another biological copy of me didn't form...is it possible that you absorbed every last regeneration energy that was in there?"
He heard hoof steps approaching in the hallway, growing closer with each step. He quickly moved away from Discord and jumped onto the seat he was at before.
Redheart came in with the sphygmomanometer and began to wrap the strap around Discord. Whooves examined her check the rest of Discord's vital signs, relief overcame him when he saw no change to her expression.
"Well everything does seem to be in check, I just don't know what to think of the two hearts."
"That's all I needed to know, now I'm terribly sorry for wasting your time, but I gotta dash. Mind if I borrow some nurses to help get him back on the TAR- umm I mean 'cart'."
Redheart called in Coldheart and Sweetheart to help her get Discord back on the stretcher. It took all four of them to get the long chimera onto the stretcher. As Whooves wheeled Discord out of the hospital, he heard somepony clear their throat loudly.
He turned around and assured, "I'll be right back with it, let me go get him inside first."
He quickly pushed him in front of the TARDIS and fumbled to collect the key that was once again in his pocket. As he opened the door, he turned back to Nurse Redheart and gave her an awkward smile, she stuck with her expression and eyed him down. Doctor Whooves entered the TARDIS and grabbed the white fluff at the end of Discord's tail with his mouth. He pulled with all his might to get him inside, Discord slowly fell off the stretcher and hit his head on the floor in the process.
"Oppse daisy! That's gonna leave a mark," he mumbled, still having the end of Discord's tail in his mouth.
Once Discord was inside the TARDIS, Whooves jumped over his body and began to roll the stretcher back to Redheart.
"Once again, I'm sorry for wasting your time nurse, I appreciate everything you've done for me."
She stayed in her position and began to tap her hoof impatiently.
"What? The TARDIS? Oh I know! Bigger on the inside, yes, I know it is."
Redheart stayed unamused, it began to make Whooves feel uncomfortable.
"Is there something I missed?"
She held her hoof out and reminded him, "I believe we do have a price for every check up."
Whooves' ears perked up and he nodded quickly.
"Ah yes, yes! A price, well, let me run back to my TARDIS to get you some bits."
He turned back around and ran into the TARDIS, closing the door behind him and completely ignoring Discord. He hopped over Discord and began to mess with the control panel, flipping a switch that made the TARDIS's engine groan.
"Paying for a check up? Is that mare crazy? It was only a few minutes!"
Meanwhile, Redheart witnessed the TARDIS disappear right before her, instead of being astonished, she stomped her hoof in anger.
"Great, there goes my next paycheck."
Whooves eased off the controls and sighed, then he glanced at Discord, his chest rising and falling.
"You may be annoying but I must admit that you are a very interesting creature. I just might pay a visit to your past one day."
He turned away and slowly trotted to his closet, his trench coat was still damp from the ice cold water that Discord had dumped on him.
"If he had challenged me to do the ice bucket challenge, I would've gladly accepted without the use of his help," Whooves whined, changing into another one.
"Ah! Much better!" he yelled, standing on his rear legs and throwing the other two in the air happily.
He let out a soft yawn as he made his way back to the panel, slightly tired from everything that had happened earlier that day. As he laid his front two legs on the panel, he glanced at the spot where Discord was unconscious, only to see that he was no longer there. Whooves turned away absentmindedly as if he had seen that Discord was still there. The gears in his brain began to turn again and his ears perked up, he shot his head back at where Discord was supposed to be laying down at.
"What in the name of..." he mumbled.
"Oi, crazy hair, what do you think you're doing in my TARDIS?"
Whooves yelped and jumped at the voice, he whipped around to see Discord wearing one of his blue pinstriped suits along with a brown trenchcoat and red bowtie.
"What do you think you're doing wearing my clothes?"
"Your clothes? What are you? Delusional?"
"Look who's talking..." Whooves replied under his breath.
Whooves noticed Discord began to speak in an estuary English accent, the same accent he had.
"Are you mocking me?" Whooves questioned.
"I think I could ask you the same question!"
"Don't you dare yell at me!"
Discord's wings opened up and his fur rose in aggravation.
"Shut your tramp you brown weasel!"
"Old man!"
"Donkey!"
"Scrawny bugger!"
"Circus hair!"
"Toothpick!"
Discord gasped and took a few steps back.
"Take that back!"
"No! I don't have time for you!"
"I don't either so get out of my TARDIS!"
Whooves yelled at the top of his lungs, then slapped his hoof on his forehead. Discord rolled his eyes and glanced at Whooves' pocket to see the top of the sonic screwdriver sticking out. He snatched it from Whooves and examined it.
"Oh no, no, no. Not my sonic too!"
"What have you done to my screwdriver? It's hideous!"
"Your screwdriver? Boy, that regeneration energy really got to you eh?"
Discord ignored Doctor Whooves completely, instead he kept examining the screwdriver.
"Hmmm..."
He snapped his paw, changing the appearance of the screwdriver entirely. It turned into the 'twicane', Discord waved it around, the eyes lit up along with producing the sound of the sonic.
"My screwdriver..." Whooves whispered, his jaw dropping as he watched Discord wave it around.
"You mean my screwdriver my dear wannabe. Now lets see what else you've tampered with."
Discord slithered towards the TARDIS door.
"No wait, WAIT!"
The draconequus opened the door and jumped out to examine the outside of the TARDIS.
"What have you done to her?" Discord yelled, pulling on his ears.
"Listen, why don't you get back in here so that I can fix you up, that biological meta crisis has really gotten into your head."
He once again ignored Whooves, he crawled all around the TARDIS and then jumped off.
"This design will never do."
"Oh no, no, no! Don't you dare-"
He snapped.
"Oh she's perfect!" Discord shouted, admiring his work.
"What has the brown toothpick down with you now old girl?"
He raised a hoof and stroked the doorway of the TARDIS as if it were a soft kitten, it made a low hum noise in reply.
"Much better!"
"No! Defiantly not better! What have you done with her?"
Whooves jumped out to get a good look at the adjustments he made.
"Cotton candy? You turned my TARDIS into a cotton candy cloud?"
"Beautiful isn't she?"
Not only did he change the outside but the inside as well, the inside was still pretty big but it was plush, made out of cotton candy. The good news for Whooves was that the control panel still remained intact. Whooves' eyes twitched with agitation, then he slowly curled into a ball as he floated with Discord.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Just please leave me alone to die."
"Oh don't be like that! I can take you anywhere you want to go! Anywhere in time and space! Just lose the wannabe stuff...please, it's kind of embarrassing, " he mumbled the last part.
Whooves lifted his head and looked at Discord in abhor.
"Those are my lines."
Discord rolled his eyes and flew back into the TARDIS.
"Hey, hey wait!" Whooves tried galloping back inside but the zero gravity only made him do a slow spin backward. Whooves sighed as he completed the slow spin, he looked inside the TARDIS to see Discord at the control panel.
"No! What do you think you're doing? Get away from there!"
Whooves desperately tried moving towards the TARDIS but the zero gravity didn't let him. Discord began pressing buttons and flipping switches, making Whooves very apprehensive. He kicked his back legs to go forward but he got nowhere, it came down to but only one option.
"I umm...can you lend me a paw over here?"
Discord turned his gaze from the controls to the floating brown pony. Whooves blushed a light red as he slowly flipped back again.
"I don't know, it depends, are you going to give me any trouble?"
"Why you little-" he stopped in mid-sentence, almost forgetting who he was talking to.
Calm down Whooves, if you yell at him one more time, he'll probably leave you out here...Deep breath...
He inhaled slowly while closing his eyes, then exhaled, opening his eyes afterwards.
Here we go.
"No, I won't be any trouble to you, just please...pull me back in."
Discord watched as the brown pony floated with his flank up in the air, making another hopeless spin. He reached for a button and pressed it, instead of thanking him, Whooves began to panic.
"No! Wrong button!"
He began to float away from the TARDIS, kicking and pouting in space.
"DISCORD!"
Discord snickered and threw his head back, cackling like a madman. He reached for another button, snickering all the while, then he pressed it. Whooves slowly came to a stop, he then began to get pulled in towards the pink cotton candy cloud. As he landed gracefully onto the soft pink cloud, Discord covered his mouth to hide his giggles.
"You should've seen the look on your face! So scared, and so terrified!"
He couldn't help himself any longer, he fell back on the cloud and began laughing.
"So you thought that was funny huh?"
Discord took a while to stop howling, his eyes were filled with tears from how much he was laughing.
"Oh no my dear boy, it's not funny, it's hilarious!"
Whooves lowered his head and ears in annoyance.
"Ha. Ha. Ha," the dark haired pony slowly said, sounding like a machine.
"Ah you better get used to it if you're going to be riding with me my boy-o."
"For the last time, this is my TARDIS! Not yours, mine."
Discord opened his mouth to say something when an alert on the control panel went off.
"It's an incoming transmission!" Whooves yelled and ran to the panel.
He pressed a button to play the message. Discord crawled over behind him to listen in.
"Doctor!"
"Oh no..." Whooves and Discord both stated at the same time, recognizing the robotic voice.
"Resistance is futile, we have you now. Do not try to flee, or else you will be...EXTERMINATED!"
"I-am-not-here-at-the-moment-please-leave-a-message-after-the-beep...BEEP!" Discord mimicked the robotic voice and screeched the last part, his voice cracking.
"Shut up you donkey face blabbering idiot!" Whooves yelled, waved his hooves in Discord's face to get him away from the control panel.
"The Doctor is in his TARDIS! Prepare to bring it in!"
"Oh now you've done it..."
