This wouldn't get out my head until I wrote it down. My room mate is drawing a picture of Sam and Mercedes watching Doctor Who that kind of reminds me of one of the recent The Big Bang Theory Episodes when Leonard, Sheldon, Penny, and Amy are watching Doctor Who. Except in the picture, Mercedes is 100% supportive of Sam's obsession. So then I thought hey! Why can't Sam play the Doctor and Mercedes his companion? I'm a new Whovian, but I know just enough to write this story. Don't know how long it would be or when I will ever get back to it, but I had to write it down. So here it is. The Doctor and the Diva.
Read, Review, and Enjoy!

Mercedes Jones woke up every morning to her alarm clock going off at exactly 8:30 every week-day. She would get up, wash up, brush her teeth, brush her hair, eat some cereal, pack her purse, and head to her internship at Macy's. When she wasn't folding clothes at Macy's she was writing and recording songs for her album that would soon come out thanks to her brother. But her only problem was that she had no inspiration to write music. Every day was the same for her. Nothing new happened that made her want to grab her notebook from her purse and write. Life was boring even if she moved from her tiny town of Lima, Ohio to New York City.
Mercedes had just finished helping out a customer when her manger told her to go sales stickers from the storage room. Oh, how different and exciting that was. She looked at the mirror in the women's department that she worked in and straightened her hair before she left to do her job. Once she reached the room where the stickers were, she grabbed a bag and took out her phone to text her Best Friend Kurt. Maybe he was up to do something exciting today.
Hey boo want to go out?
_ Sorry Cedes but I have a date with Blaine tonight. Rain check?
Typical Kurt. He hardly had time to hang out with her ever since Blaine decided to switch colleges in his Junior year to be closer to Kurt in New York. Kurt had been dating Blaine since his Junior year of high school and Blaine was just a year younger than Kurt. They were in love and Mercedes was happy for them. But Kurt didn't seem to have time for her anymore. It was always Blaine, Blaine, Blaine now. She quickly replied "Okay" when she received a text from her ex-boyfriend Shane. Shane was a sweet boy with big dreams like her. And when he included her in his dreams, she was okay with it. But that was back in her senior year of high school. And she had long broke up with him since then. They dated for a couple of months back when they were still in Lima dreaming, but her dreams were bigger than his and there was no way he would make room for all of her dreams. So she broke it off and he was fine with it. Until he was lonely and needed a girl by his side for some random reason. She ignored him of course and even blocked him a couple of times. And she thought that was that. But to him it wasn't. So for the tenth time this week, she told him to bug off so she could work, and she stood down in the storage room bored.
Mercedes suddenly heard someone rustle around the storage room and decided to see who it was. Walking down the long, cold hallway, she saw a glowing red light.
"Hello?" she called out. No one answered. "Hello? Is anyone down there?" Again no answer. Mercedes walked down the hallway until she reached the door where she saw the glowing red light. "What in the world…" She was about to walk in until she felt someone grab her shoulder.
"I wouldn't go in there if I were you." She heard a male's Southern voice say. Mercedes gasped and quickly turned around to see a white male towering over her smiling down at her. "Why don't you leave this to me sugar."
"You don't work here." She stated.
"Nope and neither will you if you just step aside so I can get through." He gently pushed her aside and walked into the room with the glowing red light. She was interested in what was going on and decided to follow him. When she entered into the room, she saw a red circle in the middle of the room making a sound that sounded like crashing waves. The man walked around the red light mumbling to himself.
"Truly amazing!" he said to himself.
"What is?" she asked. He turned around quickly and frowned at her.
"You should run along Miss. This is a little dangerous."
"It's just a light. What harm can it do?"
"A lot." He pulled out a stick with a blue light at the end of it and poking it into the red light. "Just what I expected."
"What?"
"This place is about to blow up in ten minutes. Let's get a move on shall we?" He walked by her grabbed her arm and ran for the up stairs. Once they reached the main level, the man grabbed one of the phones, put his stick in front of the phone until she heard his voice reach the speakers.
"Attention all shoppers, you need to evacuate the building right now. Drop what ever you have in your hand because something bad is about to happen. This is not a drill, please remove yourself from the building now!" The man put the phone back and started to run out the building. "Come on Miss. We got to get out of here. She's about to blow!"
"How did you do that?" she said running with him. People were starting to remove themselves from the building. Thankfully it was almost closing time so there weren't many people there.
"What do you mean?"
"What is that stick thing?"
"Oh! That's my sonic screwdriver. Very nify huh? Now come on Miss! We got to run!" He grabbed her hand and ran across the street. "Okay we have two minutes to spare." He said. Mercedes made sure to take a good look at this mysterious man. He was white with a slight tan, had bright green eyes, full lips, dirty blond hair cut and styled short, and he wore a brown jacket with a white t-shirt underneath and a pair of dark blue jeans. He looked quite cute if you asked Mercedes but he was still weird.
"Okay 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and!" they waited for the building to blow up but instead the red light flashed around the building and disappeared. "Wait but why didn't it blow up? It should have…OF COURSE! Those sneaky little bastards thought they could just…well I stopped them didn't I! Ha! Now I have to find the main source." The man started to walk away but Mercedes just couldn't leave him alone, she had to find out more.
"Okay, slow your roll weird guy. Who are you and what the hell just happened?" she asked.
"Oh, I'm the Doctor."
"The Doctor? Doctor who?"
"Just the Doctor."
"Okay, um, Doctor what the hell happened back there? Why did you say the building-" Before she could finish, Mercedes heard a loud pop and when she turned around, the building she worked at was gone. "The hell just happened?" she yelled.
"Oh just the Grogens."
"The what?"
"Nice creatures if you don't push their buttons. However they have an obsession with shopping. Somehow commercials get into their transmitter and they watch it. Pretty cool huh?"
"Wait…they are aliens?"
"Yep and I need to leave if you don't mind so that I can speak with them. They can't keep doing this you know? Stealing stores while people are in them so that they can shop? Starting to get a tad bit ridiculous." The Doctor walked away but Mercedes just had to keep following him. Aliens. They were here on earth? That was beyond amazing! The Doctor turned around and faced Mercedes. "Where am I actually Miss since you are following me."
"New York City."
"And were is the busiest street in the city?"
"Times Square of course, straight ahead."
"Well Miss, we have to get over then huh?" He grabbed her hand and they started running towards Times Square. It was a couple of blocks from where they currently were and it seemed like the Doctor was wasting no time. "By the way, I think it's rude of me not to ask you your name."
"Mercedes Jones."
"I knew a Jones once. Sweet person she was. You kinda remind me of her. Anyway, let's get a move on Miss Jones. We have to save the city from being sucked into the Grogens spaceship for their personal shopping pleasure! Weird little creatures they are…" Mercedes gripped onto The Doctor's hand and ran with him to the center of Times Square.
"This is it. But I don't see anything unusual." Mercedes said.
"Of course you don't here because we aren't in the center. And in order to get beamed up, we have to stand right in the center." The Doctor took out his sonic screwdriver and let it glow when he reached it in the air. Suddenly Mercedes felt a weird tingling sensation around her body. And before she could blink she was looking at a dozen or more creatures with large heads, one eye, and the body of a human. They were just a little shorter than her so when she stepped back into the Doctor's arms, they looked up at her.
"Good evening! I'm the Doctor!" The Doctor said.
"We know who you are Doctor. Why come on board on this glorious day?"
"Well I noticed that you have been taking stores again. I talked to some of your brotherin about this weeks ago yet you just seem to not listen to me."
"Yougogl told me about you Doctor. He said that you would stop us from being human."
"So being human means taking stores and cities with innocent people in them so that you can wear their clothes and eat their food in the comfort of your own space ship? That's not very nice."
"Why would we touch that dirty soil in the first place? It is filthy done there. We much rather bring it here in their comfort of our own space"
"Really?" Mercedes interjected. "You think you can take away people's lives just so you can be happy? And I bet once you are threw with the stores, you just throw it away randomly into space." Mercedes crossed her arms over her chest and stared straight at the creatures.
"Who is that creature?" the leader asked the Doctor.
"A very good friend of mine." The Doctor placed his hand on top of Mercedes's shoulder.
"How does she know of our plans?"
"She doesn't. But you just told us what you do. And I frankly can't let you do that."
The Grogens started yelling something about seizing the pair and Mercedes backed up into the Doctor some more.
"Doctor do you think that if we find the transmitter and destroy it, it can save the city?" She asked him.
"Yes but destroying it means to leave a giant hole in the city and I don't think your mayor would like that very much."
"So what do we do?"
We run and find it. NOW!" the pair ran off down the corridor of the space checking different rooms for the transmitter.
"Mercedes, we have to look for a large room with a huge computer system in it. Something that can possibly move…Oh here it is! This way Mercedes!" Mercedes looked down the hall to see that the Grogens were gaining up on them. She ran towards the Doctor and into the room he pointed out to her.
"What do we do now?" Mercedes asked as the Doctor examined the transmitter with his screwdriver.
"Mercedes I need you to pull the leaver there and hold on to it will I put in to code." Mercedes quickly followed the Doctor's orders and pulled down on the leaver as he typed in a code.
"NO!"
The Doctor smiled back at the angry Grogens as the shop where Mercedes worked at reappeared. "Good as new. Now let me just do one quick thing…" The Doctor pointed his Sonic Screwdriver to the computer and it started to frizzle.
"What did you do?" The creatures asked.
"Well I just override the system so that it can take you back to your home planet in about five minutes and then I burned the system. So know it's only memory is to go back home. Now if you would excuse my lady friend and I, we will be heading out now." The Doctor walked out and Mercedes followed him. "Don't look back just keep walking until we get back." Mercedes mumbled a okay to him and once they reached the front of the ship, the doctor went over to a computer, typed a few things in and then ran over to where she was standing. Mercedes felt the tingling sensation again and before she could blink, she was back in the center of Times Square.
"Good as new!" The Doctor said as her rubbed his hands together.
"Wow. That was amazing!" Mercedes yelled. "Did you see those creatures? They were real aliens! I can't believe I was in front of a real alien!"
"You get use to it." The Doctor said shrugging his shoulders.
"What else do you do Doctor?"
"Well Miss Jones, I do more dangerous things than this, but you shouldn't be involved in any of it."
"Doctor, this past hour has been the most adventurous thing I have done in years! And you are telling me that I can't help you out? Look at what I did! I help expose what they did to the stores after they were done with them."
"Which was great since I didn't know myself, but Miss Jones you need to stay on earth."
"Wait, you travel outside of earth?"
"Yes at times I do. I also travel through time."
"So you are a, um what do they call you? A Time Traveler?"
"Time Lord to be exact. The last of the Time Lords."
"Wow that must suck."
"Yeah well it gets lonely. But life moves on!" He started to walk away while Mercedes stood there looking at him. Should she go after him? Should she just forget about him? How could she forget abut the Doctor and what just happened? Maybe she could ask him if she could travel with him. If she was to get away and explore the universe, this could be the key of her artist block! She could finally write her songs!
"Wait Doctor!" She ran after him. He stopped where he was and looked at her. "I want to travel with you."
