DrApple was galloping through the many streets of Ponyville, muttering something under his breath. Many of the ponies were giving him strange looks, but he couldn't see them, as he had his head down in order to run the fastest he could. He was hoping that he didn't accidently crash into any other ponies along the way...

Hauling his full saddlebags, Wispy headed down the familiar road as usual. Content with lugging the many notebooks and various data gathering contraptions with him, the scientist wasn't expecting to have any real encounters with anypony on his way home. He had taken the road plenty of times without any issues before, but something seemed to be causing some sort of commotion ahead of him. Unfortunately pausing to try and glimpse what it was, he unwittingly stopped directly in the pegasus' path.

Just as the doctor decided to look up to see where he was heading, he just managed to see the pony stopped in front of him, just as he was crashing into said pony. He recovered, only to look up at the mess he just caused to spill out of the earth ponies saddlebags, and looked sheepishly at the pony himself. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going, and I was running fast because I'm late and I move fastest when I run and..." He stopped himself when he realised that he was rambling. He tried again "erm, here, let me help pick this stuff up for you..." He started doing exactly that.

Thunder was sitting on a park bench next to the road, minding his own business, when suddenly he heard a crashing noise and the sound of somepony apologizing profusely. This normally would have brought a smile to his face (what? It was funny!), but this time there was something a bit different about the ponies who had run into each other. It took him a minute, but he finally realized who they were when he saw what had spilled from the earth pony's bags. "what's this? Stallions of science? In MY Ponyville? And here I thought I was the only one!" he said loudly as he got up and trotted towards the pair, still struggling to collect the scattered objects. "would you like some help with that?" he asked, as he started levitating some books over to the earth pony's bag, not bothering to wait for an answer.

Wispy shook away the disoriented confusion that had overtaken him after the collision. Blinking a few times, he looked around to find his belongings scattered, but two friendly ponies seemed to be helping him with that problem already. He sighed softly as he stood, figuring he had probably gotten in somepony's way accidentally... Somepony that was late. He was probably putting him further behind on their schedule now.
Again, he shook his head, listening to the pegasus apologize. "It's alright, I must have not seen you heading this way. Uh, I'm sorry." Beginning to collect his equipment, he looked up at both of the ponies curiously. "Thank you for the help... My name is Wispy Cosmos." He thought he had overheard one of them say something about science as they approached, but he couldn't be sure. It certainly made him wonder about these two though, if there was a chance that there was a common interest between even one of them then he wanted to look into it a bit.

DrApple blinked at the unicorn who helped, and smiled, happy for somepony who could lift things better than he ever could to be helpful. He turned to Wispy when the scientist spoke, and started to look sheepish. "It was my fault really, you see, I really should be flying if I'm going to be moving fast to avoid this happening, but I go faster when I run. Ponies call me Dr Apple, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Cosmos" He then turned to the other pony. "and thank you too for the help, Mr...?" He asked, hoping to discover the other ponies name.

"I'm Thunder Drive, nice to meet you!" he replied, turning to Applefox.
"Now, I'm sure you have somewhere to be, but I'll hold you up just a bit longer here- so, you're a doctor of what exactly?" asked Thunder as he snapped the bags closed and set them on Wispy's back.

Curiosity had caught the better of Wispy as well, who was also wondering where Applefox was heading to in such a hurry. He turned to the pegasus, adjusting his pack to a comfortable position and watched him quietly. The encounter was looking promising, if their names were anything to go by. They both seemed like nice ponies too, so either way he was happy he got to meet them... Even if it was under such circumstances. But as long as nopony tried to run him over again, he was fine with this.

The doctor looked in the other direction for a moment, wondering whether he should answer the question and delay himself more, but quickly decided against it and turned back to face the ponies. It is rude to not answer a simple question after all! "Well," the pegasus started, "I got my doctorate in engineering, courtesy of a pony who I've... sorta lost touch with" He explained. "I think I herd you say something about being a scientist, is that true?" He asked, almost regretting making himself late further.

"Sort of." said Thunder. "I like to think of myself as a mad engineer most of the time. You should see my workspace- fits the bill very nicely- Terska coils and whatnot everywhere. Anyways, do continue."

Wispy sat, watching both of them closely. He waited until a point where he hoped he wasn't interrupting either of them, and tapped a hoof against his chin thoughtfully. Hoping to have found the small pause in the conversation he quietly asked the pegasus in particular "Uh, Dr. Applefox... Where was it you were heading to in such a hurry in the first place?" Perhaps they were keeping him a bit longer than he would've liked, but there was no way of knowing until they asked!

DrApple was expecting to be asked the question that Wispy asked, but still had to think about his answer for a little before saying it. "Well, I sorta agreed to let something happen that I guess I shouldn't have. I let somepony from far away use my house for a party. Since I've been out visiting a friend anyway, I let them. I heard that the party went a little wild, and I just now heard that something bad happened. I'm not entirely sure what it is." He stopped and looked sheepish again. "I suppose it wasn't the best idea to go as fast as I was going for such a little emergency, especially on the ground in busy streets like this." He motioned around with a hoof while saying the last comment, as if to point out the busy ponies, despite there not being many around.

"What, did Pinkie get into your coffee or something?" asked Thunder, who chuckled dryly at his stunning wit. "Oh, how I love being an idiot," he thought to himself.

"...Something bad happened?" It was more worrying than perhaps the doctor intended, at least to Wispy. Thunder didn't seem to think it was much of a big deal, but the vagueness of the statement probably contributed to his feelings more. He rolled his eyes at the joking unicorn, there wasn't any evidence that something serious had happened, just... something bad. Who knows anyways? Maybe he was right. "Well I hope everything gets worked out then Dr... Maybe we could even provide you with some assistance?" Without knowing what exactly was going on, he still wasn't sure what either of them could do. Of course, Applefox wasn't sure about the details either, so they were all kind of stuck.

"Well," The pegasus began, hearing the worried tone in Wispy's voice, "I'm sure it's nothing really bad. I'm sure it's only a minor thing that I can deal with on my own, but thank you for the offer. I'm sure that both of you have your own respective places to be."
