“Ah! One of the bearers. I’m in the right place then. Listen, I don’t want to alarm you...” he glances around and motions for me to lean in closer, which I do. “...but the city is about to be invaded by changelings, and your friend Twilight just cast a spell that locks her into a time loop.”
I gasp. “Oh no! Not again!”
The Doctor is puzzled by my reaction, although most ponies usually are. “What do you mean ‘again’?”
“She fixed that already. It was like a year ago. Don’t you read the paper?”
“Ruins the surprises, I find, but you say she already fixed it? By herself?”
“Yep! Well, we got to help. It was great!”
“I see. I shouldn’t have set the oscillator to ‘puree’ after all. Hmm...” He pulls out a small notebook and begins to flip through it. His eyes light up as he reads a particular page. “Ah, here we are. So the time loop is over but the residual effects will cause the aether to decouple itself from the quantum framework of the universe. I have a setting for that though so I’ll just-”
“She fixed that too.”
“Oh, you have got to be kidding me!” shouts the Doctor as he stomps a hoof in frustration. He flips through several more pages in the notebook and looks up at me hopefully. “Okay, so there’s this evil set of jewelry that’s manipulating fate and destiny...” I try to put on the most reassuring smile I can, but he sees right through it. “...she solved that as well, didn’t she.”
“Kind of, yeah.”
“So... absolutely nothing wrong? No crisis threatening all of space and time? No major disaster about to destroy the world?”
“Sorry.”
“No, no, don’t apologize. That’s... good. What kind of pony would hope that something like that was happening so they could rush in at the last second and save everypony?” He asks. Then he gives a sad little sigh.
“Aww... It’s okay, I’m sure you would have done a really good job fixing it too,” I say and pat him on the back. “Why don’t you stay for the party? We have muffins.”
