The Last Doctor: The New Face
As the regeneration light faded away from The Doctors body, he was a new man. Totally a new man, everything about him was new, his hair, is face, his whole body, except his mind. His mind was still filled with the memories of his past. He knew all his old faces. From when he was an old man, through to his 10th face where that body hadn't wanted to go, he always remembered that, and sadness always fills his thoughts, and of course he remembers 11... He will always remember when The Doctor was him. All these faces and all these years... He was 3004 now, and this was his 24th face. His last face. Back at 11/12 he'd been given a whole new set of regenerations to save the world. Now he was at his end. But this excited The Doctor, he had always wondered what true death felt like, part of him wanted to feel it, part of him didn't. The Doctor prodded his face.
"Hmmm" He wondered "What have I got this time eh?" He asked himself. The Tardis had changed. "That's was quick love" It had changed whilst The Doctor had been regenerating. "Ah a new me, a new Doctor. Have we finally got a mirror in this room?" He looked around the Tardis and as he did he actually realised something. The Tardis had reverted back to a previous form. "Why have you done this you old girl?" The Tardis was softly breathing, or that's what The Doctor had come to know it as, the soft sound the machine makes when its stationary. "This is..." The Doctor sighed "This is the same as Tens. Oh girl why did you do this?" He went to the computer screen. It was off. He slapped the side of it "There we go, works every time!" The Doctor smiled to himself. He made it so that he could see himself. "Wow" The Doctor smiled again "Aren't I handsome!" The Doctor had dark brown hair, cut just above the ears, it wasn't spiked up, but instead was a bit flat, bits poking up in random places. "Why is my hair so messy though? Ahh who cares I like it" His face was evenly spaced out, with smooth skin and deep blue eyes. His body was slim. Slimmer then the last body which had been a bit on the chubby side. He realised that he looked a bit like Ten. "So that's why, you think I'm him do you? Sorry to disappoint you old girl but I'm not." The Tardis pinged and out popped a new screwdriver. Again it was the same as Tens. "Although... I think you know that don't you?" Then out of one corridor came a set of clothing. A blue striped suit, canvas shoes and a long brown overcoat. "I wish I new the real reason to this. Maybe you think it suits me... Ah what the hec I'll wear it." So the Doctor changed out from the clothes from the previous Doctor, which had been too big for him, and dressed in what the Tardis had presented him with. The he pulled the sonic out of the slot, flipped it in the air, caught it, and placed it inside his jacket pocket. Then, he walked outside.
The Doctor stepped outside the box. He was shocked at how many people we crowding around it.
"Hello?" He said to the people "Can I help you?"
"Are you okay sir?" Asked one bystander "We saw a lot of golden glow inflight coming from inside that box of yours." The Doctor looked puzzled, then turned around and locked the door, just to be on the safe side.
"Well don't worry I'm fine, thanks, I'll be on my way"
"But we heard what seemed to be, shouts of pain." The crowd closed in a bit.
"So you saw the box and heard me? Perception filter must of broken when you were changing love" he said, stroking the side of the Tardis.
"A perception what?"
"Never you mind, sorry I got to dash, see you around!"
"So your just gonna leave like that?"
"Yep"
"Without explaining what was happening in there?"
"Yep"
"Really?"
"Yep, problem with that?"
"Well... No... But"
"But nothing, bye" And with that, The Doctor pushed his way through the crowd and strode off, hands in the pockets of his overcoat. He didn't know where he was going, he just wanted to get away from all those people before they started asking real question, he hoped that they'd be gone when he got back. He walked for about ten minutes when he realised he was in Cardiff. Where the rift was, so the Tardis had brought him here so that she could recharge then. He found a small café and sat down at a table outside. After about 30 seconds of being there some woman came and sat opposite him. She stared at him. The Doctor stared back.
"Can I help you?"
"I've seen you before somewhere."
"Were you in the big crowd around a blue box?"
"No"
"Well then you can't of seen me before then."
"Why not?"
"Well because this is my first time outside that box, never done it before with this face, a whole new adventure."
"Well that's impossible because I have seen you."
"When was this?" The Doctor asked, confused.
"A very long time ago, about... 10 years I reckon, I was only 15 at the time. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?"
"Bit personal... Anyway you wouldn't believe me."
"Try me"
"I'm 3004"
"Shut up" she asked shocked "Your making that up you don't look a day past 25, same as me"
"What do you mean same as you?"
"It was my birthday yesterday."
"Oh I see, well, I told you you wouldn't believe me."
"Who's to say that I don't."
"Well your reaction said it all." The Doctor smiled. "Wait hang on you said you'd seen me before?"
"Well not you as such, the blue box."
"You said you wasn't in the crowd."
"I wasn't, I was sitting on a bench, the same bench I always sit on, and always have. As a kid me and my parents would sit there, for no reason they told me, just to relax. But they died in a car crash, so I go back there and I remember them, that was when I was 14, a year before I saw you, I saw that box the day after my 15th birthday. I was sitting there when all of a sudden that box just appeared out of no where. Some crazy guy ran at it shouting 'Doctor', he jumped on and then the box disappeared." She took a deep breath in.
"Oh right, that was Jack. Good man he is. Oh but that was a long time ago for me, only ten years for you but I was in my 900's when that happened"
"And then I saw it again today when I was sitting there, that box appeared there once again, and then everyone sees it, the lights the shouts, and then out you came."
"Out I came."
"What was happening in there?"
"This." The Doctor pointed at his face. "This was what was happening."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't tell you" The Doctor laughed "that's a secret only a few people can know. What's your name anyway?"
"My name is Dylan."
"Isn't that a boys name?"
"No actually, it's unisex, it can be either thank you very much."
"Your welcome"
"What?"
"You said thank you..."
"I didn't mean it like that?"
"Oh right... Well like I said new face, I'll need to keep that I'm mind." At that moment The Doctor studied her. She had long, curley, fiery red hair, her face was like his own, well evened out, her eyes were brown and they had a look as if she understood The Doctor, which of course she didn't, no one did, not with this face anyway.
"Well nice to meet you Dylan, I'm The Doctor."
"I guessed as much." The Doctors sonic screwdriver started to beep. He took it out and put it too his ear.
"Ahh the Tardis is ready!"
"The what?" Dylan said.
"The big blue box thing. You want to see it?"
"Yeah of course I do!" She jumped up p, a big grin spreading across her face.
"Come on then!" The Doctor stood up and made his way back to the Tardis. As they were walking he continued to talk to Dylan. "I'm sorry about what happened to your parents Dylan."
"Why are you sorry, it's not your fault, stuff happens, you can't stop bad things from happening."
"That's all I ever do, stop bad things from happening."
"Really? Don't you ever think of stopping?"
"Where's the fun in stopping, the whole worlds out there, ready to be saved"
"You find it fun?"
"Everyone has a hobby!" The Doctor smiled at Dylan, and she smiled back, he liked her. Maybe she could come with him.
They arrived at the Tardis, he put the key in the door and turned it till the door clicked. He pushed the door in slightly.
"Hang on!" Dylan said.
"What's wrong?"
"On the door, it says 'Pull to open' you just pushed it..."
"Oh it's only a suggestion." They both laughed a little, The Doctor pushed a single door to the Tardis fully open and went inside. Before Dylan went in, she ran around the four sides of the ship, when she reached the door again she said
"Bit small for two people isn't it?" And walked in. As soon as she saw its enormous interior though her mouth dropped open.
"So... What d'ya think?" The Doctor asked.
"It's... It's... It's a bit old looking in here isn't it." She laughed
"Hey!" The Doctor said as he stroked the Tardis "She has feelings you know! Anyway your meant to say it's bigger on the inside! That's what everyone else says! Well... Everyone except Rory" The Doctor looked down, saddened.
"Who's Rory?" Dylan asked
"An old friend." The Doctor replied
"So other people have been here before me?"
"I've been around for 3004 years of course other people have been in here before you Dylan."
"Who were they?" Dylan looked serious
"You really want me to?" Dylan nodded "Well there was Rose, Martha, Donna, Amy and Rory and Clara, and then a lot of other people too."
"Were the other people not important?" Dylan said
"Oh Dylan... In all my 3004 years of life I have never met someone who was not important."
"Wow that's deep..."
"Get used to it." The Doctor smiled. "Right where'd you want to go?"
"Where can we go?"
"Well, we can go to anywhere on this planet, or anywhere on any other planet in the entire universe... Or we could travel in time and go to any time you want."
"Wait... Your telling me that this goes forwards and backwards in time?"
"And sideways"
"I've only just met you, how do I know to trust you? I don't know anything about you, like if your a nice person or not?"
"You walked in here on your own didn't you?"
"Well I guess so..."
"Well I'm The Doctor, I'm 3004 years old, I'm a Time Lord, and we can figure out the rest together."
"What do you mean?"
"I've only just become this man, I don't know anything about me either!"
"Right okay... Well let's go to... The moon"
"Really? The moon? The whole of time and space... And you choose the boring moon?"
"Sorry I'm new to this I don't know where there is to go!" She laughed.
"Okay you want to go to the moon? Well how about the moon of Flatoon? They have an entire city on their moon, the airs breathable and everything"
"Okay then Doctor, let's go to the moon of Flatoon" The Doctor whizzed around the control centre of the Tardis pressing buttons and pulling leavers before stopping at one lever
"Ready?" Dylan looks at The Doctor dead in his deep blue eyes.
"Ready" and with that he pulls the lever and immediately the familiar noise of the Tardis starting to whir is heard throughout the ship and off they go.
The Tardis materialised on the surface of the moon of Flatoon.
"So what's out there?" Dylan asked
"The moon of Flatoon, did you not listen?" The Doctor laughed
"Really though? A whole other moon? Not in our solar system?"
"Not even in your galaxy" Dylan goes to walk towards the door but The Doctor stops her.
"Wait, watch this." The Doctor smiles. He lifted up his fingers, and snaps them, and the doors to the Tardis swing open.
"Ha! Show off" and Dylan exits the Tardis.
"Hm... I think it's rather impressive" and The Doctor follows after her.
The scenery is very green, tress and bushes everywhere.
"This is a moon?"
"Yeah, same atmosphere as the Earth, same oxygen same everything."
"Wait so this moon is basically the Earth?"
"Yeah look up" Dylan looks up and sees a gigantic planet, a thousand times bigger then the Earth
"What the..."
"Yeah that's Flatoon. This moon is the same size as the Earth! Come on let's go have an explore!" And Dylan follows the mysterious man know as The Doctor.
