Hi Guys x
I hope u will like this story cuz it's my first fanfic.
Btw, if you wonder how Lizzie met the Doctor, I'm not going to include the Doctor's and Lizzie's history.
Well, maybe a flash back but that's it.
And, if one of the characters is thinking, it will appear 'like this' and if there is a flashback it will appear 'like this'.
Finally, I don't own any of the characters from Doctor Who or the show Doctor Who itself but I own Lizzie. I made her up.
Enjoy the story.
The Chance of a Lifetime
Chapter 1 – The Beginning
Lizzie's POV
"Smile for the camera everyone" the photographer said ready to take a picture of the guests at the wedding reception. The flash of the light made me blink a few times to make me see again.
"Well, he did well for himself. Didn't he?" my mum said making me jump.
"Mum, I'm not gonna comment on my dad" I said watching Donna and my dad give each other a kiss. Finally, they were married. We started to walk inside in the reception to our table.
"So are you sure that you want to go to college down here" my mom asked me while we sat down at our table.
"Yes I'm sure" I said not convincingly.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm sure." I replied.
"Did I do anything wrong?" she asked?
"No. Why would you think that?" I asked her.
"It's just when you came back after travelling with'him', you changed. I had sort of known that you would want to spend more time with your dad after you came back, because he's more into that stuff you do but I didn't think you would want to move across the country to move with your dad" my mom said.
"Mum, I told you already I just want to go to college here to experience something new instead of just staying in the same old city I've been living in for 18 years" I said. 'Well I am lying actually. Another reason I want to come here is to see if I could find the Doctor again. I also regretted what I said to him the last time I saw him' I thought.It had been three years since what I said to him the last time I saw him…
*Flashback*
The Doctor came in the Tardis looking like he had been crying.
"What's going on what'd you do to her" I whispered at him, looking down at the floor, when I got to the console room. He had made the TARDIS lock my bedroom door so I couldn't see what he was going to do to Donna but I still heard her pleading with him to not wipe away her memories.
"Lizzie, I'm sorry. I had to, she would have died if I hadn't" he said putting a hand on my shoulder which I immediately shrugged off.
"But you could have helped her or something, she loved travelling with you and now she's forgotten all of it, ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" I said, getting louder until I was yelling at the end. There was a silence between us. I felt anger boil inside of me. I was mad because of what he did to Donna and I didn't care if it was for her own good. The three of us had been through so much together and now he was going to let her forget all that even when he had been such a huge part in her life. "Take me home" I whispered. I was surprised he could her me.
"What?" He asked a bit surprised about what I just said.
"Take me home NOW!" I said. I didn't know why I wanted to stop travelling with him but I was mad at him because of this and I was also afraid that someday the same thing would happen to me.
"Okay" he said his face dropping at what I said. Once the TARDIS stopped the Doctor opened the door for me and I stormed out. I could see he wasn't looking at me.
"Goodbye Lizzie" he whispered.
"I HATE YOU" I yelled at him. He looked at me one last time, unshed tears in his eyes and then he closed the door. I turned around just to see the last of the blue from the TARDIS and I heard the wheezing sound I loved so much float away into the distance.
"What have I done?" I said muttered to myself, astonished about what had just happened and that I was alone, in an empty street, in the darkness.
*End of Flashback*
"Lizzie, Lizzie! Are you alright?" my mum said shaking my shoulder to get my attention.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I said wiping a tear that was running down my face. The reception officially ended late afternoon. After, I went to my car and got a change of clothes. As I locked my car, I saw something in the corner of my eye. Something blue. My favourite shade of blue. I turned around slowly and there it was. A big blue box and a man leaning against the doorframe.
The Doctor!
"Hello Lizzie" he said looking up from the floor.
"Doctor" I said my voice breaking a little.
"I know you probably don't want to see but I had to say goodbye before I go" he said looking sad.
"Goodbye? What do you mean goodbye?" I asked.
"This body is dying and I am going to regenerate soon. My time is ending. Soon, there will be a new me walking around and I bet you won't recognise me." He said.
"Doctor I-" I said.
"Wait a second. I'm sorry about what I did to Donna" he said. I hugged him starting to cry. "Oh don't cry or else I'll start to" he said.
"I don't hate you anymore. I was a stupid teenager and you didn't deserve what I said to you" I said, tears running down my face.
"Aren't you still a teenager?" he asked
"No, I turned 18 a couple of months ago" I said.
"Oh!" He said realising.
"So are you really going to regenerate soon?" I asked.
"Yeah" he said looking a bit scared at the thought.
"Just because you will look different, I will still recognise you in here" I told him putting my fist on my chest where my heart is.
"Oh, and I came to ask if you want to come back on the TARDIS?" he asked hopefully.
"YES!" he shouted nearly knocking him over.
"Ok. Welcome aboard the TARDIS… again." He said moving away from the door so I could get inside. I heard the TARDIS hum because she was pleased of my arrival. The Doctor rushed pass me, threw his coat on one of the coral pillars and ran up to the console. Then, the TARDIS dematerialised.
"So, I've just gotta see someone first. Just wait in the TARDIS until I get back." He grabbed his coat and ran to the door.
"You beta come back" I said raising my left eyebrow.
"Of course I will" he said smiling and he walked out the door.
I was very surprised when a phone rang on the console chair. I went and picked it up.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Lizzie? Is that you?" I heard my dad ask on the other end.
"Dad, how'd you get this number?" I asked looking at the phone realizing it was one of the phones the Doctor said could be reached anywhere in the universe.
"I've been talking to Martha lately. She gave me the number" he said. My dad was still working on his book but had been making sure that Donna didn't see it that much.
"How'd you know I would be with the Doctor?" I asked him.
"Your mom and I saw the big box shaped print in the snow which was not that far from your car, which is where we last heard you where supposed to be" my dad said. I raised my eyebrow quite surprised at how fast my dad had narrowed that down.
"So you are with him right?" my dad asked.
"Yes I am and tell mom I'll be fine" I said.
"Do you know how long you'll be gone?" he asked.
"No" I said.
"Are you sure your ok with him?" my dad asked
"Yes dad. He may be crazy but he's the Doctor which means that I'll be completely fine" I said.
"Ok then Lizzie" my dad said.
"Love you" I told him.
"You to kiddo" he said. I rolled my eyes at him and slammed the phone shut. Suddenly I started to hear familiar music. It was the music of the Ood. I knew that it was coming from outside. I walked to the door and saw the Doctor on his hands and knees trying to get up. A couple of feet away was an Ood. The next thing the Ood said made my heart break a bit but at least it had a good quality to it.
"This song is ending Doctor but the story never ends!"
I didn't realise I was crying until I subconsciously wiped my tears of my cheek. I ran to the Doctor and tried to help him get up.
"Lizzie, I told you to say in the TARDIS." He said trying to breathe easily.
"When do I ever listen to you?" I said to him as I walked him to the TARDIS. We walked in and he chucked his overcoat on a coral pillar and he walked up to the console, setting the TARDIS into flight. He started walking around the console, gold sparkling around his hands and face. 'It's time!' I thought. In the distance, I heard the music of the Ood, almost sounding it was nearly at its climax. I started walking backwards bumping into the wall, as he outstretched his arms.
"I don't want to go" he said. Then bursts of light burst out him hands and face. I had to cover my eyes because the light was so bright. The light started to fade after a while.
I looked around for the Doctor but couldn't see him anywhere. Just then the head of a very handsome man popped up from behind the console.
"Legs, I've still got legs good, arms, hands fingers ooooh lots of fingers" the man said kissing his legs. Then he started to rub his hair.
"OH MY GOD I'm a girl" the man said his voice going up an octave. "And still not a ginger" he said examining his hair. I started to smile at this strange man despite what else was going on in the Tardis. A part of the roof fell right where I was and I moved out of the way letting out a little scream.
"Lizzie, thank god your still alive, the TARDIS said you would but I didn't believe her but then I thought always trust the Tardis because I have to say she has gotten me through many things" he said really fast as he hugged me and spun me around.
"WHAT?" I asked a bit shocked at how fast he was talking and at how confusing that sentence just sounded.
"It's me the Doctor. New face" he said making a weird face, I giggled as he set me down.
"Now there's something I'm forgetting. We're… we're…" he said trying to think of something. The Tardis gave a huge jolt making us fall to the ground. "Crashing." He said all excited. I laughed at him. "Lizzie, pull that lever and keep your finger on that button" he told me I followed what he said as he flew the Tardis. Then he yelled…
"GERONIMO!"
R&R plz. I hope you liked the first chapter.
