I must say, even though I am sitting through and going along with this insanity, this Doctor fellow is an amazing tea maker. A rather nice way to calm my irritation from my roommate jumping into a universe destroying video game. Thankfully, the Doctor pulled out an extra few chairs so me and Bon Bon could finally sit down. Sit down and contemplate everything. Although with one single look around the table, I can very much see I am still the only one with anything to contemplate. Why is it that I'm always the only sensible pony in any group? And with this Doctor as well. He seemed like the only one with major intelligence, and yet this is his whole idea.

Eventually, Lyra finally spoke up about her usual randomness, "So, Doctor, I believe there was something about... You know, the whole human thing?" She chuckled a little bit, getting a very annoyed Bon Bon hitting herself in the face. The Doctor simple smiles and stands up to leave. Everyone looks at Lyra and she blushes, giving an awkward smile in response, "What? He said he had proof and I just really like to see it. Does that make me crazy?"

This gets a collection of yeahs from everyone in the room, including myself. This pony lives in the woods in a blue box that disappears randomly out of nowhere. He is confusing and quite possibly dangerous. And crazy, can't forget crazy. At least, that is what I thought until he came trotting back in with a large book. He tosses it down the table and opens it wide to show a collection of pictures, all of which had some creatures I have never seen before. They were bipedal, had some strange things on the end of their forearms, and on the ends of each of them were... What were those? I get my answer when Lyra borderline shouts at the top of her lungs, "O. M. C! Hands! Those are hands! I knew it! Hands and humans! Hahaha! Suck it Bon Bon! Suck it Cheerily! Suck it everyone that said I was crazy!"

She proceeded to go off about this and laugh out loud for a good ten minutes, the entire time no one is able to say anything. We all sort of sat there and looked through the book, observing the different pictures, some with different humans in them. There was always one constant and that was the man I assumed was the Doctor stood in the center of each picture. This quickly ended when I noticed that, after a few photos, the man in the center changed for several more. This happened a few times, so I simply had to bring it up. "Uh, Doctor? Who is the man in the center of all these pictures?"

"Oh! Why, that is me back when I was present in that universe of course," he explained to all of us, "Although, I did... change a few times. Not important but it was a thing with my anatomy. Not a pony in this universe, not a human in that universe." He smiles with these comments, but I can easily tell melancholy with his tone. I lower my ears and look around the table. Nopony else took notice of this. I am... unsure on if I should say anything.

Before I make a decision, Vinyl speaks up again and points at a picture, this one having a red haired human female and a male in some old armor. "Hey, Doc. Who're these two? Like the looks of that dude."

He leans over and looks down, a wavy frown coming but slipping back up instantly. "Oh, those were some of my old companions. That one there is Rory, amazing mate I must say. Now she is Amelia Pond. Quite possibly the best companion I have ever had." He sits back down and gets a stern look from Ditzy. Part of me feels he said something stupid. He looks over and shrugs. "Sorry, best human companion." Ditzy smiles and goes back to her tea, looking more in the book.

Vinyl nods and talks again, "Well, that Rory dude looks cool. Speaking of things that are cool. Game, us, play, when?" Vinyl was getting her usual impatient self and was making it clear. I hate to admit it, but I absolutely love when she gets like this. Jumping in her chair, begging for things to happen. It's positively adorable. "Also, destroying the universe? When get to?" And then there's her slightly chaotic side that comes out. Not as cute, but fairly interesting.

The Doctor laughs and pulls back the book. "Well, I hate to say it but Miss Scratch is correct. We can go through the... brighter part of my past later. Right now, we must play a video game. Let's not dilly-dally any longer. The old girl's getting irritated, so I think that might be a sign things are about to happen."

Hearing that last part made me have to ask. "Old girl? You mean the Universe?"

"No no no, I mean my old girl. The TARDIS here is getting a little restless for some reason." He taps the wall and stands up. He goes around the table and picks up everypony's empty cups and plates and leaves again. I don't know what he meant by the TARDIS was getting restless. It's just a big blue box. He did have a point though. A number of us were getting a little on edge about this whole situation, Vinyl as the prime example. Once he leaves I stand up and tap my roommate on the shoulder. She gets up and tosses the saddle bag back onto her back.

"Well, everypony," I say as we start to leave, "If we do not die at the destruction of the universe, I would love to see you all later." I give a quick smile and nod, leaving with Vinyl by my side. I walk out of the woods into the actual area of Ponyville before turning to the DJ, "Vinyl, I a sorry but I must ask. Why are you so keen on playing this game?"

"Huh? What do you mean," she asks me back, "Destroying the universe while playing a video game? Duh!"

"Yes, well, that doesn't really answer the question. Allow me to rephrase, why do you wish to destroy the universe so badly?"

"Oh," she laughs a little bit before shaking it off like nothing, "This world is already trying to destroy itself, so why not? Don't see why we should wait for Discord or Tirek or those bug guys, or whatever spawn from hell decides to do it. That ain't no fun. Now, let's get home, it's too freaking sunny out." She finished her little, I guess, explanation and started trotting a little faster in the direction of our two-toned house. To this day, I never understood why she dislikes the sun so much. Must be a DJ thing. A confusing mare, that Unicorn is. I actually have to speed up to match her again.

When we get to our split in half colored house Vinyl is more than swift to enter. I walk in with a much more refined demeanor. That meaning, I didn't almost break down the door as I entered. I mean, literally the door is almost off it's hinges. I'm going to call that carpenter pony tomorrow. Of course I am, because I will be able to because this stupid game won't do anything like Doctor said. Would I say that to his face? Of course not, not until they all see they are truly insane in believing that. I think Vinyl is one I should break it to first, just so I don't seem too rude when I both figuratively and literally laugh in everyone's faces.

"Vinyl," I say trying to catch her attention, "may I talk with you for a second?"

"Huh? Oh, course! What's up Tavi?"

"Please tell me you don't actually believe in that universe destroying game, too?"

"What?" She asks, actually looking a little confused at the question, "Of course I do. I mean, this stuff happens all the time, so why wouldn't I? You even accepted it at the end there."

"Wrong," I try to correct her, "I did not accept anything. I simply said you were all crazy and I would play along. Now, please Vinyl tell me why you believe that? You're smarter than that to believe something so crazy!"

"Oh, why thank you," she mocks at me, "I like to think I am rather smart, and your admiration helps me oh so much!" She is very overdramatic during this whole speech before smirking and laughing out loud at me. After a few moments Vinyl wipes a tear from under her glasses and gathers her composer. "Look Tavi, this world is filled with crazy and stupid stuff. The sooner you accept that, the better off you live. I mean, you didn't freak when that bug-bear came through Ponyville a few years ago."

"Yes, well, a bug-bear is something that actually exists! A video game that can destroy the universe? Not even that spirit of chaos Discord could make something like that!" I try hard to explain to the Unicorn, not wanting to raise my voice to much but quickly starting to, as Vinyl would say, lose my cool. "Sorry, sorry. But, just... go with me for a second, ok?"

At this point I could tell Vinyl was more interested than I thought she'd be, lounging up on the couch and floating her shades over her horn. "Alright, shoot. I'm listening."

"Alright," I start, "several crazy things happen in Ponyville and Equestria in general, correct?"

"Yup."

"Right, and a lot of these come from some old legend or fairy tale, no?"

"That sounds about it."

"Now, if there are several hundred fairy tales and legends going around the land, there are definitely going to be a few that come true. That is basic coincidence. Now, if every legend were to-" I am cut off from Vinyl chuckling and raising her hoof to my face.

"Alright, Tavi," she says, "I get where you're coming from, and allow me to retaliate. Ever since that crazy princess showed up, every legend has somehow happend. In this town specifically. Now, this legend or fairy tale or whatever literally showed up at our doorstep. And I mean, right on the actual doorstep. Tell me how this is crazy?"

I raise my hoof to respond before getting the words stuck in my throat. I actually couldn't go against that point. That is amazing, I have never been stumped by Vinyl before... So, I decide to put the conversation on the back burner for the moment. "Fine, this is still crazy, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. Happy?" Vinyl smirks and floats a soda from the kitchen, just to take a small drink, making her mocking more evident.

"Extremely so. So, we gonna do this shit or what?" She asks, bring both her laptop and the game from the saddle bags and laying them on the couch arm. "Because the universe isn't going to destroy itself!"

"Vinyl... The Doctor said you are going in after him. You are going to have to wait."

"Oh..." She looks down for a second before smiling again and bringing her headset from her room and hooking them up. "I suppose I have some time to kill then. And by time, I mean punks. And by kill, I mean pwn on CoD! Wonder if she's online..." I sit down and watch as she goes down a long list of gamertags before smiling and clicking on a party. "Ah yeah, Luna! What is up my Alicorn!" Oh my Celestia, she was playing with a princess. If this game doesn't kill her, I will.
