This was quite possibly the longest fifteen minutes I have ever sat through. Both from trying to properly understand the fact that me, my best friend, and a bunch of random ponies are going to destroy the universe and that my best friend is still freaking out about being right about humans. Also with this thought, it is more than likely she will try to make the new universe with humans in it. Will that make us Gods of a different species? Questions for later. Right now, my only question is why is Lyra still going crazy over this? It's been almost half an hour! "Lyra! You've bothered The Doctor enough, let's go play this stupid game or whatever!"
Either the Unicorn doesn't hear me or doesn't care, as she continues to flip through the photo album of the bipedal Doctor. I look around and force myself to wait this out, taking in the strange interior of the box house thing. This room has two different halls, one that leads into the main room and one that leads elsewhere. I guess The Doctor noticed me looking around and he chuckles, "You may search around if you wish, Bon Bon. I'll find you when your friend is finished." I turn back over to him and then to Lyra. She was still going crazy over the human thing, so I shrug and stand back up. The Doctor smiles and turns over to the Pegasus across from me, "Derpy, do mind going with Bon Bon? You know a good portion of this place, just make sure she doesn't get lost please."
Ditzy nods and stands, walking over to the other exit of the room. I quickly trot on besides her and we start exploring a little bit. And by exploring, I mean going down a long hallway for a good ten minutes with nothing of interest happening. For a box that defies all laws of physics, it is rather boring on the inside which shouldn't even be this big in the first place. There are a few doors along the hall but Ditzy doesn't even bother with them, telling me that there are better places to explore in here. I stop when seeing a door in the hall that was slightly open, unlike every other one that was closed and had a sign or something by it. This one had nothing. I was curious to say the least and Ditzy didn't seem to notice. She was already a few rooms ahead of me so I decide to sneak off for a moment. Sure The Doctor wouldn't mind.
I slip the door open and walk inside, taking a good look of the room around me. It was blank to say the least. Empty gray walls, no tables or chairs, one light in the middle on the ceiling. Now, why was this room opened out of everything? There's nothing of importance or interest in here. Guess Ditzy just forgot to close it while looking around at one point. I turn around and go to the door before it slams shut in front of me all horror movie style. I do not like where this is going. My feeling only gets worse as a small wind picks up. In a small, sealed room. With no vents to let in air. The breeze gets bigger, going into a circular motion and centering to the middle of the room before blasting into a bright red flash. Once I can see I... am actually unsure what I see now. It looked like The Doctor, but wearing a pair of 3-D glasses and a red outfit with an oversized hood.
He looks around panicked before catching where he was and chuckling, "Oh darling, I knew you wouldn't let me down! Surprised you can do this though... several thousand years and I'm still learning things. I love it!" He goes on for another few minutes before seeing me and getting a confused look on his face. "Oh? Hello Bon Bon, what are you doing here?"
"I... uh, I... What?" I was confused to say the least about this. I've heard he can time travel, but this is rather surprising. He also apparently didn't remember me wondering off earlier. Than again, I don't know how much earlier was for this Doctor. "I... was just looking around?"
He thinks for a second before chuckling and nodding at me, "That's right, Lyra was going on about my photo album! Not important right now. I only have a little window of time to do this so I need to be quick, take this and don't use it until the time comes," out of nowhere he pulls a card with some kind of ball picture on it and hands it to me, "That's called the Tumor, it is to blow up the Green Sun which you do not do unless absolutely necessary which it is going to be necessary but you have to wait until the proper time which I haven't been to yet. Thing number two, do not, I repeat, do NOT leave me alone on LoCaL for too long. Give me a message or a call or something, just don't let me be alone for too long. Four... no, wait. Three," he stops for a second to breath and looks down, lowering his tone a little, "Ditzy. Don't let me do anything to her. Even if you have to kill me, do not let me hurt her. She is far too important, both to the game and to me." He stops for a second as a few blasts of red electricity flies off of him. He quickly steps into the middle of the room again. "Oh, and one more thing! Your Land will have a fruit called desert pears. Do not bring any desert pears, I hate pears! I won't know what they are when you bring them to me, just let them stay and rot in LoDaD. I'm trusting you Bon Bon, you're the only one I can trust with all of this. Tell nopony you saw me." With this, he starts to spark in more electricity before he flashes again, disappearing into thin air. Probably went back to when he came from.
I was stuck in a state of awe for a mew moments before jumping at the sounds of the door behind me opening again. And by jump, I literally bean I jump a good five feet in the air and turn around to see The Doctor and Ditzy in the doorway. It must have been obvious how much this scared me since the Pegasus quickly rushed to my side, "Oh my, Bon Bon! Are you ok?" I nod as I start to settle down, taking everything back in properly. "Where have you been? It's been almost an hour, you can't just wander in the TARDIS." Even though there was a little getting onto me tone in her voice I could tell she didn't mean to sound like it.
The Doctor comes in and looks around the room with a puzzled look on his face which quickly turned to stern and serious, "Bon Bon, was anyone in here with you a moment ago?" I shake my head and he quickly gets up to my face, "Bon Bon, this is serious. If there was anyone besides us in the TARDIS I need to know, now. Was there anyone in here?"
I held my tongue for a minute, not knowing whether or not to tell him. I mean he told me not to tell anypony, but at the same time he is asking if he was here. Oh Celestia, I have a headache. "No, Doctor. I just got turned around and ended up in here. You guys just scared me half to death barging in here like that!" I know I am a terrible liar, but I hope these guys are as idiotic as every other pony in this Ponyville. Seriously, it is weird how dense this entire town is. "And there is no way I was gone for an hour! If anything it's been like five minutes."
"Yes, well," The Doctor responds, keeping his stern look, "time in the TARDIS isn't the same in every room." He goes back to the door before taking another look around, "I actually don't remember this room even being here to be honest. Strange lady the TARDIS is, always full of surprises. Alright everypony, it's been long enough for all of us. Lyra has already left and we have a game to play." He stands by the side of the door and waits for me and Ditzy to leave before shuting the door all the way and locking it. This is weird, I've never seen this pony do something like that. And for an empty room, too. Should be a question for now, but I will push it until later.
For the time being, Ditzy and I finally leave the blue box and head towards the town again. I don't know what compelled me to ask but I did. "Ditzy, may I ask you something?" She gives me a smile and nod and I continue, "Thanks. So, uh, I know you don't like others calling you, y'know, that name. Why do you let the Doctor call you that?" I look over and see that Ditzy has actually slowed down, looking to the ground and giggling a little.
"That is actually a really funny story," she starts, hurrying back up to my side, "so, we were in Appleloosa and the whole town was getting into a fight with the native Buffalos. There was this whole problem with some space parasite making everyone pissed off, kinda reversed our ages, I got super sad when I thought he was gonna die and so I let him call me that. Next thing I know, he turns back into a full grown colt and the name stuck. I didn't really care that much afterwards since we got so busy and I was used to it." She smiles and keeps walking, leaving me to try and comprehend just what exactly she said. That was a confusing explanation to say the least. This has been the most confusing hour of my life so far.
"Well, Ditzy," I finally respond after thinking for a few moments, "that is... what do you two get up to in that stupid box?"
"I think a better question is," she stops and looks back at me, "what were you doing with that other Doctor?" She puts her hoof up and stops me where I was standing. I have no idea how she could have known that, but she was serious asking this. Serious and I think I heard a little bit of worried in there too.
That Doctor that I talked to told me not to tell anyone, but Ditzy somehow knew so... "Ok, so, and you have to promise me you won't tell anyone else about this, he was serious about nopony needs to know." The Pegasus nods and I look back pulling out the card thing from before, "He gave me this thing. He called it the Tumor and it's supposed to blow up something called the Green Sun."
Hearing this, Ditzy's wings stand straight up and she takes a step back. "THE GREEN SUN!? No, ok no! How do you have something to blow up that? How did he have something to do that? Tell me everything!" She was right in my face and looked terrified, but I knew I couldn't tell her everything. That whole 'don't let him hurt her' thing seemed like a subject to bring to him later.
"Ok, here's what happened." I told her everything I could without it being too much. About how he showed up, how he was dressed, the whole Tumor and not knowing when to use it, everything. I even gave the same speech about pears that he gave me, which made Ditzy laugh a little bit. "And that was it, he just flashed and was gone! He told me not to tell anypony, so please Ditzy, do not tell him or anyone else."
She thinks for a second before sighing to the floor, "Alright Bon Bon, I won't tell. Just, next time something like that happens, tell The Doctor. Or at the least me." She looks back up with a weak smile and turns back to Ponyville, and I join her on the walk. At this point, I couldn't help but wonder something. How did she know what was happening, and why she waited until now to ask? I find it only fair if I ask, right?
"Ditzy, I'm sorry but I have to know something. How did you possibly know about the other Doctor?"
She keeps going and tilts her head a little. "I dunno really. Lately I've seen a lot of things. I mean, you talking to the other Doctor was just one thing. I mean, right now I can see Vinyl playing video games with Princess Luna, Octavia practicing on her Cello, Lyra just got back to her house and I can see The Doctor making some kind of recording thing." She chuckles a little bit, "Just, things happening right now are things I can see I think, because any clock thing says the same time."
