"Felicia, we're going to go downstairs. Are you alright up here?"

Four girls had been sitting upstairs together, mindlessly chatting. Felicia was a small girl with a unique look about her. Her hair was stark against her pale skin and her green eyes often gazed off into the distance often. Images of brightly colored skies and citadel's always ran through her mind. On nights like these she didn't have time to paint, but she was always up for a night out. The rave they were at bustled with young people of all kinds from the city.

"That's fine. I think I'm going to step out for a minute, splitting headache," she said motioning to her head.

It was true though. She had been having strange images and dreams of the citadel's that flooded her mind; maybe it was some sort of sign. They all parted and Felicia stepped outside, sighing in relief at the cool air. She kicked up a bit of rubble with her black converse and watched one particularly big piece roll.

It hit a shoe that was exactly like hers, but red. "Oi, normally people wait to hit me with something. You could be promising."

Felicia followed the red shoe up and a tall man stood before her. He was all legs and torso; clad in a pinstripe suit. His hair was particularly disheveled, but fitting with his brown doe-eyes. A flush sort of crept up her body and she thanked time itself for staying dark.

"Sorry, old habits die hard. Honestly didn't see your shoes until the rock hit you. Hiya," she replied.

With a wave and a small smile the man before her chuckled.

"I've had worse kicked at me. I'm the Doctor by the way. Judging by your facial expression and body I'd say I've landed in Earth's 21st Century, which is odd because you sort of smell different. A bit like time itself…" he advanced towards her.

Momentary shock framed her face. "Could be a new perfume. You obviously know us Earth girls, always brushing up for a night out. Wait, no sorry. Did you say 21st Century Earth? Are you from a different one then?"

She almost believed this man was an absolute joke, going on about time and Earth like he wasn't from it. His name couldn't simply be 'The Doctor'. That bit was nonsense.

He shrugged his shoulders and scrunched up his face as he looked off into the distance, "Well... yes and no..."

"You're name isn't just The Doctor is it?" She interrupted before he could continue on.

"It is, and what might your name be?" He smiled at her.

"Felicia..."

What the hell was she doing? Why was she telling a complete stranger her name when he couldn't be honest about his. Felicia is a good body language reader, and she could tell that there was some truth to his name. She couldn't just leave it at that, as shy as she was... She felt like she knew him. And something was outer worldly about him, despite his human looks.

"You said that I smell like time?" She asked.

"Yes..." He nodded once.

"How can someone smell like time? You're not human if you can smell that... What are you, Doctor?"

"You really wanna know?"

"Actually, I do..."

"I'm a Time Lord..."

She snickered, "Lord? Don't you have a big ego..."

"Oi, I didn't choose the name of my species!"

"Right, right... I don't believe you..."

"Here..."

He grabbed her hand, "What the hell-" he put her hand against his chest and she felt two heart beats, her eyes widened as she looked down at his chest, "What the hell..."

She should've been scared of him, but she wasn't. She was attracted to him...

"Two hearts inside of one man, should be impossible right?" He asked with a particularly wide smile gracing his face.

Felicia had no idea what to do except push her hands harder into his chest and let the awe she felt frame her features.

"It's like music…"

He smiled down to her and cocked his head, as he looked straight into her eyes. He couldn't be sure because…well…it wasn't possible, was it? Golden flecks speckled in coils within her green eyes. It was his turn to be mesmerized because of course humans had different colored irises sometimes, but this was if the vortex was being reflected within her.

"Felicia, have you been getting bad headaches?"

His hearts ached for her answer to just be a yes, even if it had caused her a fleeting pain. He could take that away…

"A bit, yeah. I just pop a Paracetamol and it works itself out sometimes. Why do you ask?" She asked tracing her fingers along the contours of his face.

He was quite beautiful and he had those flecks in his eyes, just like her. He needed to get her to open her mind to him and humans were so susceptible to emotional connections, but if she turned out to be a lady of his people he would want to be connected to her forever. He needed to link with her mind and be able to force the energy back about her, so he kissed her. He kissed her with everything he had left inside of him and he nearly sobbed as she brought her hips closer to his.

"If you came with someone tell them you're leaving, please?" He said with his arms tightly wrapped around her small waist.

"Only friends. Come back to mine? I'm sure you know how to wear a lady down."

"Wear a lady down, darlin' I'll do more than that…"

Felicia blushed furiously at his comment and leaned heavily into his embrace.

"These fleeting charms of Earth. Farewell, your springs of joy are dry. My soul now seeks another home. A brighter world on high," she muttered into him as if it was a prayer.

He froze for a moment and his hearts sped up, need coursed through him with the force of a freight train. She had to be his and now. Those were words often spoken by the high priestesses when a Time Lord or lady was set to consummate marriage with someone not of their race. He was sure he could bridge into her mind and just check, just to see. In the morning they would wake and he would tell her all the worlds he could give her; neither would be alone any longer.
