I finally get back to my house after the decent walk from the TARDIS and throw my saddle bag by my chair, right next to a smaller more foal sized one. And here I thought I told her to hang that in her room properly. Oh, I can't be mad at Dinky, she is just a little kid. Heck, I did worse than that when I was her age and I turned out... I want to say fine, but I spend the majority of my time traveling time with an alien colt in a blue box in the middle of the woods and showing up less than a minute then when we left. What am I saying, this is the best way to live! Dinky even comes along sometimes. Not the smartest idea, but she loves it and always asks if she can go. But, I am a mom so I guess I have to tell her to pick it up.
I troy on down the hallway and tap on my daughters door and lean in, "Dinky? Are you busy, because you kinda left your bags in the living room." I step into her room and am meeted by the little Unicorn reading on her bed before she looks up. Dinky smiles and quickly hops off the bed and up to me.
"Sorry Mama," the pinkish-grey filly said up to me, "I forgot about that." She gives me a quick smile before talking again, "Oh, were you with The Doctor? Did you go anywhere new or fun? Oh, oh! Did you go to see Daddy? Are we going somewhere later?" This is why I love this little filly, she is just an excitable ball of happiness and wonder. Obvious where she got that trait. With each of her question aside the first I shake my head, getting an upset sound from her. "Oh... Alright then! I'm sorry for asking so much! I'll go pick up my bags." She gives another bright smile and walks into the living room. I follow shortly after her.
I sit down in my big chair on the edge of the living room and pull out my game and laptop of the bag. I don't want to admit it, but I already forgot the order The Doctor said we are supposed to do the thing in, but I am more than certain I'm not first... I should ask to make sure. But, he is busy right now. Ugh, why do I know he's busy? I can't tell what he's doing, I can just... Maybe I should ask him about what this new deal is with me? But I can't do that since he is busy... This is a useless power, why am I so confused on what to do with it!? I see everypony, but only right now, that is pointless! Ok, whatever. Maybe just time travel, universe hopping, weird side affect stuff. Whatever, I should try to be more productive with this amount of time until things happen. That's when I feel a small tapping from my filly.
"Hey, Mama," she asks, pointing over at the game disk, "what's that? Is it a game? Can I play?"
"Huh?" I reach over and pick it up to show her properly, "Oh, yeah it's a game. That DJ Pon-3 brought it to me and The Doctor. Apparently we all get one big gaming session with each other, along with Pon-3, Octavian Melody, Lyra and Bon Bon. I forget everything besides that, aside we're apparently destroying the universe?" I stop saying that last part and look down at Dinky. She looks back up with a confused and interested look. Is there a word for that? Either way, that look quickly goes away as she gets a large smile filling her whole face.
"You're going to play a video game with DJ Pon-3! Like, the DJ Pon-3? Oh. My. Celestia! Do you know her? Is she as cool as she looks? Is there really something between her and Octavia?" I wave my hoof at her with that last question.
"Ok, ok, calm down Dinky," I tell her, trying to calm her down a little, "Yes, I do know Vinyl, she is actually cooler than she looks, and... I don't know how to answer that last one, and why would you even think that?"
She laughs a little nervously and waves her hoof. "Oh, you know... Ponies talk and ideas get around." She gives a faint smile and quickly tries to change the subject, "A-anyways, how does the game destroy the universe?"
"How should I know? The only thing on the case is 'SPONE: The Frog-Based Universe Simulator'. So, frogs I guess? It's probably just a game universe and The Doctor's going a little over board like always."
"I like frogs," she adds childishly, "I wanna play a game with frogs in it! Can I play? Please, Mama?"
"Well..." I wait for a second and scratch behind my head. The Doctor said it was dangerous, even for our usual things. Can I bring my daughter into this? But wait, if I don't then the universe will end and in conjunction... Why is everything so confusing now! "Alright, I guess. But The Doctor said it had to be played in a certain way. It starts with someone and it ends with someone, and we can't break the order. I don't know why, that's just what The Doctor says."
"And you can never go against The Doctor!"
"Exactly, Dinky!" I smile and ruffle up her yellow mane, "I have taught you well. When ever it's my turn to play, you can take control if you want to." Dinky smiles and jumps up, wrapping her forelegs around my neck in a big hug, which I return with my wings. "Now, how about you go read your little book and I'll call you when it's time to play?"
"Ok, Mama!" She exclaims, turning and trotting back into her bedroom.
Once her door closes and the pink magic aura around the handle disappears I open my laptop and decide to do a little looking into on this game. After a few minutes of searching, I finally find and open a link to a walkthrough. It's all text based, so this is going to take a minute. After a few moments of trying to read I silently wish I would take longer to read it. The walkthrough, what little there was of it, had an overly detailed definition of what 'Universe Simulator' meant and what happens when somepony decides to play the game. We aren't going to crash and rebuild some dumb universe on a computer screen. We are literally going to rip the universe apart hundreds of different ways.
