Night had befallen Ponyville, Luna's moon gleaming overhead as the majority of the town's residents slept as usual. The few ponies still awake were either going to be asleep soon or doing some last minute work before hitting the hay. No a peep was heard save for the small breeze and swayed the tree branches. The deep purple sky was littered with illuminous stars, with one big star near the horizon.
However, if one was to look closely at this particular star they could see that it was getting bigger, a glow surrounding it as time went on. It look as if it was heading for Ponyville. After a few minutes it turned out not to be a star at all, instead an object moving over the skyline and on fire.
The object crashed with a giant echo outside Sugarcube Corner, dirt and mud flying everywhere as the fires cooled down. The object was on its side. For a few brief moments, the object was still. It was huge, a cuboid shape all in blue with "Police Box" Printed near the top.
Until part of it opened and smoke bellowed out, a hoof reaching out from the new passage.

Venus's house was located quite near by the sugarcube corner, that when it crashed, he woke up! "What in the...huh?"
He dashed outside, to check on what it could possibly be, and found the object that crashed, quite familiar.
"...Woah, no way! Is this..."
When he saw the hoof sticking out, he decided to try and help pull the pony inside, out of the odd box. ...Venus looked somewhat disappointed when the other pony was fully pulled out of the thing, however.

For a while the Doctor had been stuck there, the angle of the TARDIS made it almost impossible for him to climb out. he could reach out from it easily, but getting hold of the sides was hard with hooves. Despite the danger of the rail he was standing on could collapse, the Doctor still tried. If he got locked in when it began to repair, it would be weeks until he emerged, and having to explain it to the local residence would be a nightmare.
Thankfully, after a while he felt somepony grab his hoof and pull him out, the night sky expanding as he was finally out, the door closing barely after he was out. He took a quick look at his saviour. She looked as if she could hold her own, the bow and glasses making her look oddly cute, yet there was kind of stallion aura surrounding her. After shaking off most of the custard that escaped from its container, he looked at the mare with a smile.
"Thank you for that, miss." He said cheerfully "Anymore and i'd have been stuff there for a while. Terrbile, not much to do. Most of it's on fire so i'd be roasting. I'm the Doctor by the way." The Doctor held out a hoof. "pleased to meet you Miss....?"

"Mister Bloom...Venus Bloom" Venus was a bit confused, He was traveling with a "The Doctor" up until about half a year ago, in his own time. But this stallion was totally the wrong colours.
"...Hrrm, I don't know...he's got the ...Am I speaking out loud?"

"Mister Venus Bloom. My apologies for that, you look quite feminine i believed you were a mare. Don't take it the wrong way, you look brilliant, stunning!" He shouted with a cheerful tone.
The Doctor looked at the burning wreckage that resembled the TARDIS. Most of the windows were cracked or completely smashed from the impact and fires were no doubt blooming in all rooms. He shook again to get some more of the custard off as he looked around for his screwdriver. He knew he had it when he was pulled out, so he dropped it somewhere.
Venus, for some reason, was muttering something under his breath, part of it he could hear only just.
"I've got the....? What, you mean the blue box? That's just a novelty i keep around. You'd like it, i should know most who go in love it. Unfortunately as you can see" He pointed at his TARDIS "It's not really a good idea to go in. Most unfortunate. Oh well, it'll repair itself."
He continued to look around, the same smile on his face.
"Now where is it? I'm sure i dropped it around here. Small objects are easily lost." He chuckled.

Suddenly, a loud screech came from one of the pathways in the corner. "YOU" shouted a voice. From out of the corner stepped a mare covered with mud that had gotten everywhere when the doctor landed. As the mare stepped closer, she left a trail of mud. "Look what you've done!" Shouted the mud covered mare. After further inspection, it could be seen that the mare was Rarity. The worst target to hit with a giant ball of mud.
She growled at the doctor and shook the mud off, some still remaining. As she stood there, the mud nearly all off, she looked up into her mane. "What is that in my mane?!" she shouted as it seemed a screwdriver lodged deep inside her muddy mane. She tried to levitate the screwdriver, but it wouldn't budge. "You DO realize what you've done. It's going to take me FOREVER to get this mud and this dumb screwdriver OUT of my precious mane!"

Doctor Whooves began digging at the ground slightly in a random attempt at finding his screwdriver, his mind thinking that some how it had been buried. However, a mysterious pony had came out of nowhere and began shouting at him for his crash landing. After trying to get a good look at her, he realised that she had something tangled in her mane, his Screwdriver. Bursting out laughing he galloped up to her and began to untangled his device from her mane, taking little consideration into how it'll look after.
"Yes well, sorry about getting you mucky and all that. These things are hard to control when on fire and the custard's escaped from its container. I must give you my thanks though for finding my screwdriver. For a moment i thought i had lost it. But you found it for me." He began, still chuckling a little bit.
Once he removed his screwdriver from the mare's mane, he placed it into his mouth like old times and used it to examine the area, excited that it was one of the few things still in tact. The familiar humming of it working was like music to his ears, the blue omnious glow emitted from the top.
"By the way, I'm the Doctor. This is Mister Venus Bloom. Yes i know, he looks like a mare, but is a stallion. Surprising is it not? May i ask what your name is?" He asked.

Rarity's mouth would have dropped at the doctors lack of consideration for her mane, if she wasn't already growling. "WHO AM I?!" She shouted. She was angry that the doctor didn't know her, but even angrier that his muddy hooves were digging through her mane. She had never before met a stallion so disrespectful.
She looked over to Venus, and noticed just how un-ladylike she was truly being. She cleared her throat and tried to speak calmly, while trying to fix her mane the best she could. "My name is Rarity...and I..." She growled at her mane and eventually tipped over after struggling with it. She eventually stood back up and brushed some of the dust off of her.
"My name is Rarity. I'm in charge of the local Boutique here in Ponyville." She responded, really talking to both of them. She walked over to the doctor and looked at his, well, the best way Rarity could put it was, machine thing. "So, Mr. The Doctor, what in all of Equestria is that?" She was quite curious, and decided it was best to occupy herself before she went insane on the good doctor.

"Miss Rarity. Thank you very much for finding my screwdriver, couldn't think of how i'd manage to survive without it." He mumbled, his sonic screwdrive in his mouth "And ugh....My apologies for messing up your mane. Was kinda excited about being reunited with it."
A few minutes of using the screwdriver proved no results, nothing that could explain the random conbust in his TARDIS and crash landing here. Hopefully something would come up. the mare named Rarity had asked about the TARDIS, which was a problem, he needed an alibi to hide his true identity.
"Well, let's just say that thing is a mobile home i have which is on fire. Sorry it's a long story, be best if you didn't know who i am." He said.

Rarity wasn't very happy that the answer wasn't something direct. This just made her all the more angrier. She sighed, but then happily remembered the wash-all cloth she got from Zecora. She levitated the cloth and ran it through her mane, restyling it as she went along. She quickly styled her tail as well.
"Your mobile home..." She wasn't convinced, not one bit. She looked over towards the doctor, but decided it was probably best not to ask. She walked around the thing once and looked back towards the doctor. "So, doctor, I can only assume it wasn't your choice to 'drop in' on us. I'm sure you must be on your way soon, is there something I can do for you in the time being?"
She didn't really know why she wanted to help the colt who ruined her mane, but she felt like he was a nice pony. Also, she held the element of generosity, it was just in her nature. Unfortunately, curiosity made it's way into her as well as she ducked down into the hole and watched him tinker.

Venus looked at the doctor, and decided to help him out a bit, even though he wasn't so sure if Whooves actually was the same Doctor he knew.
So, he went out and watched the doctor fiddle with things with Rarity, until he spoke to her. "He's... JohnSmith, he's good at working with metal. " He told her trying to keep it a bit quiet...

Rarity was curious, and had no means of believing this pony she had just met. "Doctor JohnSmith. Well, I suppose." She thought as she continued to watch him tinker. "I do wonder though, what in Equestria is the contraption? I've never seen one before in my life. I resembles a pod...or something of that sort." Rarity was curious, and no amount of fake names, or angry stares was going to keep her from finding out the truth.

"JohnSmith? Uhmm....Oh yeah that's my name. I haven't been called that since i went into disguise a while ago. Long story, i'll have to tell you some time." He said, waving the screwdriver in the air.
"As for the box. Well it's from Stalliongrad. So it's gonna be a different design than the ones.....Actually where is this place? I've never been here before. Unless i have and forgotten. I lose a lot of memories when i have a few....accidents." He continued.
The sonic screwdriver dinged to tell him that results from his scanning were ready. Placing it carefully on his hoof, the object expanded slightly to show the doctor its findings. What came up was not entirely unexpected but seeing it was definitely still a slight shock. He prayed it was wrong, otherwise all three of them were in danger. None the less, it proved his suspisions when he recounted the lead up of events that led him to crash land.
"Interesting..." He muttered, turning around and heading to his burning TARDIS.

"You're going in the TARDIS now?!" Venus asked, "When it's on fire? That can't be a good idea...what the heck is going on?"
Did the word TARDIS slip out, even though the doctor hasn't said it yet? Yes, yes it did.

The doctor's ears perked up as high as they could go. His legs froze in place as his eyes widened as if he'd seen a ghost or something.
"How'd you know it's a TARDIS exactly? If i recall i've yet to say that to you, and i wasn't planning to." He said suspiciously.
He'd totally forgotten what he was going to do with the TARDIs for a moment, his attention drawn to Venus Bloom. He turned to look at the stallion curiously. How was it he knew what his box was all of a sudden? It took other ponies ages to comprehend him even the slightest, but barely five minutes from meeting he already knew something about him without him mentioning it. Something wasn't right and he was gonna get to the bottom of it. He trotted up to Venus.
"Venus...."He had a quizzing look on his face. "You know it's called TARDIS, where from? Is there something you'd like to tell me, per chance? Come on, let it out for the doctor will you."
