>in front of the phone box was a giant, hulking beast
>it was reptilian in nature, but you we're too afraid to figure out what the fuck it was
"TURNER GET US OUT OF HERE!"
>he tries to throw the main switch, and the T.I.R.D.A.S. engine grinds gears like a car transmission
>the beast lets out another ear breaking howl, and draws up its arm to try and swat the little box
>TT:"Come on, come on!"
>the beast swings his claw down
>at last the T.I.R.D.A.S. starts to fly, and whisks away right before the mighty claw crushes the ground beneath it
>the box sways and lurches in the sky
>you watch out of the door, and see the beast start to chase after you
>the planet you were on had dense jungles and hills, hopefully it would slow the monster down
>but despite it's size, that creature was keeping up with the box
>TS:"TURNER WHAT IS THAT THING?!"
>TT:"KASTROVIAN YAVKNOCK, OR IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, A REALLY BIG LIZARD!!!"
>the engine of the T.I.R.D.A.S. was starting to spark, and pipes from the ceiling were swinging back and forth
>the box continues to gain altitude, and suddenly flies past a large ravine
>RD:"You're doing it Turner! We can out fly it!"
>the beast doesn't stop at the edge
>it leaps as high as it could, claws forward
>D:"TURNER, THROW THE SWITCH!"
>Time Turner immediately hits the main switch
>*ka-chunk!*
>*whoo-o-o-oosh!* *whoo-o-o-oosh!*
>the T.I.R.D.A.S. de-materializes right before the Yavknock's eyes
>*hur?*
>it lets out a mighty scream as it plunges into the canyon below
 
"Oh my god, that was -way- too close."
>D:"No kidding?"
>Time Turner keeps fighting with the console
>TT:"Argh, where's another-...AH! Yes!"
>the throws the main switch yet again
>TT:"Okay, we've landed on an orbiting moon around the planet. We should be fine until I can fix the T.I.R.D.A.S."
>you slowly open the sliding door
>the moon's surface was red, like Mars, and over the horizon was a giant, green planet
>TT:"If you want to wander around for a bit, put on a spacesuit first."
 
===
 
>TS:"Alright, I think I got this thing on right, everypony ready?"
>PP:"Uh-huh!"
>RD:"Yep. You coming Anon?"
>you hold up a small pony sized spacesuit
"I don't think Turner has any in my size."
>D:"Hmm, Let me see that."
>you hand over the spacesuit
>Discord examines the suit, then glances back to you
>D:"Anon how tall are you?"
"I say... 6 feet even?"
>D:"Alright, one moment."
>he takes the suit by both ends, and starts stretching it like taffy
>next he places the neck opening of the suit to his mouth, and blows it up like a balloon
>TS:"Discord what in Equestria are you doing?"
>he pinches the neck shut
>D:"Improvising."
>he lets the hole slip open
>*pfpfpfpfpfpfft*
>the suit deflates, leaving him with a smirk on his face
>D:"Try it now."
>he tosses the suit back
>you step into the suit, and zip up the front torso section
"Like a glove."
>D:"...Speaking of gloves, how many fingers do you have?"
"Um... five?"
>Discord snaps his fingers
>the gloves on the suit now had five little sleeves on each hand
"Oh, thanks."
>D:"No problem."
>lastly you put on the helmet, it was just big enough to get your noggin inside
>you check the suit's oxygen, pressure, electronics
"Everything's good, let's go!"
>Time Turner nods, and from the console he presses a button which opens the sliding door
>you look to the barren red landscape
>Twilight bravely goes first
>TS:"This is one small trot for ponies."
>she takes a step onto the ground."
>Rainbow then takes a running start from the T.I.R.D.A.S. and hurdles over Twilight
>she lands on the ground, kicking up dust behind her
>RD:"One big gallop for pony kind!"
>she says with a gallivant tone
>TS:"..Showoff."
"Tell me about it."
>Pinkie steps out of the T.I.R.D.A.S. and looks around
>PP:"Oooh! This is so exciting!"
>she starts to bound like when she gets hyper
>but instead of bouncing, she floats in the air for a few seconds
>PP:"Woooahhh!"
"Huh, must be a small moon."
>she lands with a thud
>PP:"*Oof!* Wow! That was fun!"
>TT:"Now you kids don't wander off, I'll call when the engine is fixed."
>Turner shuts the sliding door
>RD:"So...now what?"
 
===
 
>TT:"Flux capacitor?"
>Discord checks the electronic system with a volt meter
>D:"...Cold."
>TT:"Plasma pump?"
>D:"...Cold."
>TT:"Circuitry board?"
>*BRRRIIIZZZZ*
>TT:"...Discord?"
>D:"*cough* ...Hot."
 
===
 
>PP:"Weeeeee!"
>Pinkie flies through the air
>Rainbow Dash was collecting rocks and was stacking them into a tower, which was getting pretty tall now
>you and Twilight were sitting on the ground, she was reading the book you gave her while you laid on your back staring off into space
>RD:"Hey Anon, can you help me hold the tower for a sec?"
"Yeah sure."
>you get up and walk to the tower
>Twilight watches you, concerned
>she glances down to the book and back
>TS:"No... He can't be like -this-..."
 
>RD:"Okay hold it steady!"
"I'm trying my best, Dash."
>she flies to the very top of the tower which was at least 15 feet high
"Be careful!"
>RD:"I know, I know!"
>she places the last rock at the top, then floats back down to your side
"Pretty awesome."
>RD:"Yeah, I know."
>suddenly Pinkie flies through the tower while doing the backstroke, causing it to fall over
>PP:"Whoops, sorry."
>you and Rainbow laugh, and so does Pinkie
>Time Turner opens the sliding door, followed by a cloud of smoke
>TT:"*cough cough*Well, the engine is in stable enough condition to get us home-"
>*BOOM*
>D:"Gah! Stupid Machine!"
>TT:"...mostly. Discord! Vent out the smoke, will ya?"
>Discord crawls out from the bottom of the console, face covered in soot
>D:"*sigh* Aye-aye, captain."
>he flicks a switch, causing a large gust of wind to blow from the interior and flush the smoke out the door
>TT:"That's better. All aboard!"
>the group follows Turner inside, you and Twilight at the rear
>you, Rainbow, Pinkie, and Twilight start taking off your spacesuits
>TS:"Um, Anon? Can I have a word with you, in private?"
>you take off your helmet
"Uh, sure Twilight."
>you follow her down a corridor, as you turn to the hallway, you look back at Rainbow Dash, who watches you in worry
"Don't worry Dash, I'll be right back."
>Twilight leads you to a large wooden door frame
>she opens it with her magic
"Whoa."
>past the door was probably the largest library you had ever seen
>you follow her in, and she closes the door behind you
>she pulls out the history book from her knapsack, and shoves it into your chest
>you grab it before it slams onto the floor
"*Oof!* Hey!"
>TS:"Explain this."
>you look at her in confusion
"Explain what?"
>TS:"THIS."
>her magic holds up the book, and she flips several pages in front of you
>TS:"All of this conflict back on your 'little planet.' "
"W-what-"
>TS:" 'Religion Crusades', 'The Hundred Years war', 'American Revolutionary war', 'The French Revolution'-"
>she starts walking towards you, making you step backwards
>TS:" 'The War of 1812', 'Mexican-American war', 'The American Civil war'-"
>you feel your back hit the wooden doors
>TS:" 'World War One and Two, 'The Cold war', and 'The War on Terror'?! Tell me Anon!"
>your nerves were building up from the pressure
>TS:"Why has your kind killed millions of their own?!"
"I-I...
>her eyes were stricken with terror
>TS:"Why?! Why all the bloodshed, why all the violence, why are you like this?!"
>your fear was taking over from being backed into a corner
>TS:"How could Rainbow Dash love something as evil as you!?"
"I AM NOT LIKE THEM."
>you say sternly
>she drops the book from midair
>her pupils dilate and she trembles back in fear
>oh fuck
>you inhale, and calm yourself
>you kneel down on one knee and extend out your hand to her slowly
>she freezes solid, but eventually presents her fore-hoof to you
>you lightly take it into your palm, and put your other hand over it
"Twilight, I know this is hard to understand, but all of this-"
>you pick up the book
"-is in the past. They all fought for what they thought was right, and sometimes many humans -did- die."
>she looks to you with nervous eyes
"But just because MY people did this, hundreds of years ago, does not make ME a bloodthirsty killer!"
>TS:"B-But why, WHY DID THEY FIGHT SO MUCH?!"
>she's starting to cry
"*sigh* To be honest Twilight, I don't really know. Some were to fight evil and tyranny, some were from lies and deceit, and some were just out of pure hate."
>you lift up your top hand, and pick up her chin that was staring down
"But believe me Twilight Sparkle, I have -never- hurt or killed another man. And I promise, that I would -never- hurt you, or Rainbow Dash, or any pony."
>she stares deep into your soul
>you pull her into a hug, leaning her head on your shoulder
"I'm sorry that you feel this way."
>she wraps her arms around your back
>TS:"*sniff* No, I'm sorry I reacted like this. I shouldn't have been so harsh to you, Anon. I-I just... panicked. "
>you rub her reassuringly on the back
>she backs off of you
>you use your hand to wipe away a tear from her cheek
>she meekly smiles at you
"Now come on, I'm pretty sure all the others-"
>you open the wooden doors, and inward flops  blue and pink ponies who were leaning up against the door
>PP & RD:"Ow!"
>they both stare at you and Twilight
>PP:"Uhhhh h-hey guys! Eh-heh..."
>RD:"Anon, is everything alright in here?"
>you crouch down to Rainbow
"Yeah, we just had a little-"
>you turn your head to Twilight, then back
"-misunderstanding. But I'm sure we'll get along."
>she gives you another small smile
>you hug Rainbow Dash, and she puts her left hoof around you
>you then felt Twilight put her hoof around you as well
>PP:"Awww, group hug!"
>she puts both her hoofs around you, Rainbow, and Twilight
>you felt like you would be snu-snu'd to death
>PP:"Oh! I almost forgot, TT told me to tell you that he needs you at the console for-... something. Anyway, c'mon!"
>she bounds off down the corridor
>TS:"Pinkie! Wait up!"
>Twilight chases after her
>Rainbow watches them leave then look back to you
>RD:"Anon... was all of that true? What you said?"
>you couldn't help but feel-... um...
>oh fuck it
>you pull her in close and kiss her
>it was brief, but passionate
>you part from the short kiss
"Yes. I would never hurt any of you."
>she smiles, and you smile too
"Come on-"
>you scoop up Rainbow in your arms
>RD:"Whoa w-what?"
"-lets go see what they want."
>RD:"Ahh! Anon! *giggle* Stop it!"
>you walk down the hall to the main control room
>as all of you walked into the console chamber, Time Turner and Discord were waiting for you
>TT:"Anon, I think it's safe to say that since you are the newcomer to our world-"
>D:"It would be an honor for you to be the one to teleport us home."
>you were taken aback by this
"I-I don't know what to say..."
>TT:"*Tsh!* Its nothin' lad. Go on, throw the switch!"
>you look around as the crowd of ponies and a draconequus look eagerly on
>you place your hand on the main switch
"...Here we go."
>*ka-chunk!*
>*whooooosh!* *whooooosh!*
>you watch the mighty piston slide up and down
>the T.I.R.D.A.S. vanishes from the little red moon of Kastro

*Back on Equestria*
 
>in a rounded room, there were many ponies all yelling towards princess Celestia, all were senators from different regions of Equestria
>"Where is Princess Twilight?!"
>"Has she left to go find Rainbow Dash?!"
>"Why isn't she back yet?!"
>LN:"Order, order!"
>the senators continue to spat out questions
>LN:"WE SHALL HAVE ORDER!"
>everyone went dead silent
>CS:"*ahem* Thank you Luna, now everypony, I understand Twilight has been away for some time, but I can assure you all, she must have found a lead to Rainbow Dash due to her short notice of leaving-"
>"YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS?!"
>"Without Twilight, the whole world is in danger!"
>the senators begin to panic
>meanwhile, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Spike are sitting in the front row of the audience section
>Rarity whispers to Applejack
>R:*does Celestia really not know where Twilight is?"
>AJ:*Ah tired to contact Celestia while -she- was out, but her guards never relayed the darn message!*
>Fluttershy and Spike look at each other nervously
>LN:"ORDER! ORDER!"
>"We're all doomed!"
>"Done for!"
>"IT WAS ALL DISCORD'S FAULT ANYWAY!"
>"YEAH, SHE'S RIGHT!"
>CS:"Everypony please! Discord had no intention of purposefully doing this to Rainbow-"
>"HERESY! DISCORD IS A LIAR AND A TRAITOR!"
>the floor goes into a riot
>the two princesses glanced at each other, expecting an answer
>FS:"Oh no..."
>S:"Holy guacamole, this is getting bad!"
>LN:"ORDER, WE SHALL HAVE-... Order?"
>a rumbling in the room could be felt, followed by a strong wind and a metallic whooshing
>the guards rush to the princesses and the rest of the Mane 6
>"Quick get down!"
>the senators cry out in fear
>Celestia and Luna are moved away from the center of the floor
>FS:"...What is that?!"
>she points towards an opaque red box forming out of thin air
>R:"In the name of the Princess!"
>AJ:"What in tarnation?!"
>*whoooooosh!* *whooooosh!* *wheeeeeesh*
>*thump*

>a bright red telephone box now sits in front of the crowd
>the guards grab their spears, ans surround the box
>CS:"Guards, stand down!"
>the guards look at each other, but obey their orders
>the red sliding door opens, and out steps Time Turner
>he looks at the princess, then the crowd, then at the guards
>TT:"Eh, not the -worst- greeting I've had."
>he turns and bows to Celestia
>TT:"Your highness."
>she nods in return
>CS:"Time Turner, we meet again I see."
>several senators were mumbling in their seats
>"Who is that?"
>"What is that box?"
>"How did it get in here?"
>soon a familiar purple alicorn exits the mystery box
>"Look its Princess Sparkle!"
>the senators cheer for her
>she waves to her crowd
>TS:"My loyal ponies, it is with great pride to announce..."
>she steps aside from the door, revealing a smart blue pegasus
>TS:"Rainbow Dash has been found!"
>the whole audience goes wild
>R+AJ+FS+S:"RAINBOW DASH!!!!"
>they all climb up onto the stage and pounce for the ultimate hug
>TS:"I could not have found Rainbow without the help of some very special friends, Mr. Time Turner-"
>he nods to the crowd
>TS:"Ms. Pinkie Pie-"
>PP:"Hiya everypony!"
>she bounces out of the box and joins the hug-pile
>TS:"-and Mr. Discord."
>suddenly everyone went dead silent once again
>the draconequus steps out and stands besides Twilight
>D:"*ahem* Princesses, Senators, everypony, I want to formerly apologize for my actions against Ms. Rainbow Dash. I was not in my right state of mind and was acting upon childish anger."
>he looks at Celestia
>D:"If I am to be imprisoned once again, so be it."
>Celestia stares sternly at Discord
>CS:"Discord the Draconnequs, you may have been the cause to Rainbow Dash's disappearance."
>he looks down to the floor in shame
>CS:"But as I can see, you were also part of the solution, and nopony needs to be punished for that."
>Discord smiles
>CS:"Thank you, Discord."
>he bows towards the princess
>the crowd of senators cheer
>Luna approaches Rainbow
>LN:"Ms. Dash, if we may pry, where were you actually sent off too?"
"I think I can answer that."
>the ponies turn towards the box, and out you step, ducking under the door frame
>you were expecting mass hysteria when they saw a 6 foot tall talking ape
>but instead, they remained silent, but curiously onlooking you
>R:"Who is that?"
>AJ:"-What- is that?"
>you stand tall outside of the box, easily dwarfing it
"My name is Anon y. Mous, I'm a human, and I'm the reason why Ms. Dash is safe and sound."
>you tussle Rainbow's mane
>CS:"Um, well, hello... Mr. Mous."
"Please, call me Anon."
>you bow the best that you could towards Celestia
>LN:"You say you are the protector of Ms. Dash?"
"I do."
>LN:"Ms. Dash, does this creature speak the truth."
>RD:"He does."
>you kneel down to her and hug her tightly
>LN:"...Then it is official, Anon y. Mous is now a recognized hero of Equestria!"
>the ponies cheer and whistle
 
==(two weeks later...)==
 
>you walk down an aisle of royal guards
>you were wearing a custom tailored coat, thanks to Rarity
>at the end was Celestia and Luna, in their ceremonial armor
>you take a knee in front of them
>CS:"Anon y. Mous, do you accept the honor of your actions as the savior of Rainbow Dash, and the safety of our nation?"
"I do."
>the sisters smile
>CS:"Then I dub thee an honorary knight of the Sun."
>she levitates a massive sword over to your left shoulder
>LN:"And I dub thee in the name of the Moon."
>she lifts her sword to your right
>they both then pull away and you rise
>CS&LN:"We name thee, Sir Anon y. Mous!"
>the crowd cheers, and six ponies, a little dragon, and a draconequus wave from the front row
 
==(a few months later...)==
 
>"Do you, Rainbow Dash, take Sir Anon y. Mous to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
>RD:"I do."
>"Do you, Sir Anon y. Mous, take Rainbow Dash to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
>the old pastor smiles
>"Then it is with great honor to pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the-"
>Rainbow jumps up into your arms and you catch her
>she smooches the living shit out of your lips
>"-bride. Hah-hah-hah!"
>the crowd of ponies laugh, then stand up and applaud
>Twilight, Applejack, and Spike cheer as loud as they could
>Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity are trying to keep themselves from bursting into tears of happiness
>Discord happily claps, while Celestia and Luna nod to you and Rainbow
>Dash finally breaks the kiss
>RD:"I love you, Anon."
"I love you, Rainbow Dash."
>still carrying her, you face towards the crowd
>"May I present, Mr. and Mrs. Mous!"
>the crowd erupts, wedding bells toll, and you walk down the aisle to the exit of the church
>the doors open, and you're assaulted with a rain of rice
>an open carriage awaits you on a stone path
>you let Rainbow in first, then you hop over the side
>Twilight and the gang walk up to the side of the carriage
>TS:"Anon, Rainbow, before you leave, we all got you the four traditional wedding gifts."
>RD:"Aww guys."
"You didn't have too."
>TS:"Nonsense! No wedding would be complete without them."
>Rarity walks up with a small chest
>R:"Something old, or as I prefer, vintage."
>she hands you the box and opens it
>inside was a gold plated pocket watch
"Wow, thanks Rarity."
>R:"Of course, darling!"
>next was Fluttershy, who came up to Rainbow's side of the carriage
>FS:"Here's s-something new..."
>she whistles a lively tune, and a pair of red robins fly down with a small crown made of white flowers, and place it on Rainbow's head
>FS:"I-I know its not much, but-"
>Rainbow hugs Fluttershy
>RD:"I love it, Fluttershy."
>she blushes so hard you swore it was a new shade of pink
>FS:"Y-you're welcome, Dash."
>next, Twilight came to your side
>TS:"A little something borrowed..."
>she levitates a familiar book towards you
>the same old history book
>TS:"I don't think I'll be reading it anymore, now that you're here."
>she chuckles
"Thanks, Twilight."
>PP:"OHOHOH! I bet you can't guess what myyyy gift is!!!"
>Pinkie floats down from nowhere tied to several colorful balloons tied around her torso
"Umm... Something blue?"
>PP:"*gasp!* Anon, are you psychic???"
>the 6 and you laugh
"...Well, where is it?"
>you felt an immediate punch to your arm
>RD:"Duh, ME you egghead!"
>the crowd laughs, even the princesses
>you and Dash lean in for one last kiss
>while you were kissing, Pinkie takes an empty balloon from an invisible pocket of hers, blows it up, and twists it into a heart shape
>the unties the other balloons from her waist, and floats down to the ground
>she then ties the heart balloon to the end of your carriage
>you and Rainbow Dash wave to the crowd of ponies goodbye
>the carriage drivers pull off and start down the road
>TS:"Goodbye you two, see you after the honeymoon!"
>R:"Bye darlings, have fun!"
>AJ:"See y'all later!"
>FS:"Goodbye!"
>PP:"We'll miss yoooouuu!"
 
>just before you leave the church area, you spot a sand colored pony with an hourglass cutie mark standing next to a red telephone box in a park adjacent to the church
>he smiles, and waves to you
>you smile back
>he waves until you're out of sight
>TT:"Well old girl, another happy ending..."
>he takes a key out of his pocket, opens the sliding door, steps inside, and closes it behind him
>*ka-chunk!*
>*whoooooosh!* *whoooooooooosh* *whooooooosh* *whooooooosh~*
>the little red box fades away from reality
