Meg wasn't exactly sure what to think of this "Doctor" guy. He had shown up about a week ago in some Blue Police box he called a TARDIS. Dean, Sam and Castiel were suspicious but Meg was more along the lines of curious. The Doctor was staying with them at Rufus's cabin until he managed to fix the TARDIS, which was only about a half mile from the cabin. Meg decided one day to go and check out the inside, just for to satisfy her curiosity.
She slowly opened the doors and walked in, her gaze flickering about wildly as she took in the control area. She gently shut the doors behind her and laughed softly.
"Damn." She murmured to herself as she slowly walked around, taking the place in.
"It's not a bad home." A familiar voice said behind her, she whipped around to face The Doctor. He was dressed similar to Castiel, the tan/brown trench-coat and dress clothes and his messy hair.
"I'd say." Meg said, laughter woven into her voice as she stared around in awe really. The Doctor walked forward until he was standing in front of her, peering down at her with his dark eyes. Meg stared back up at him for a moment before she broke the contact and let her gaze wander around the TARDIS.
"Come on, I'll show you around." He said smiling at her. Meg couldn't help but be surprise, she was intruding and he wanted to show her around and he smiled at her. She just shrugged and motioned for him to lead the way. As he gave her a tour he started to talk, talking about his home planet, what he was, things he had seen. It all fascinated her really, and after about two hours of touring the place and hearing stories they decided it was best to get back to the cabin.
They walked back together, shoulder to shoulder as The Doctor recounted a rather amusing tale. Meg was laughing by the time they got to the cabin, surprising Dean, Sam and Castiel. But of course she was oblivious to them at the moment as he made motions with his hands and continued to tell the story.
"...and well let's just say they weren't too happy in the end. I'm kinda banned from their planet." He finished with a chuckle. Meg rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Well I would think so, I mean after all that." She said shaking her head. The Doctor grinned at her but she didn't catch the soft and delighted light in his eyes as he stared at her.
"You two seem to be getting along just fine." Castiel observed, ice in his tone for he had caught the light in The Doctor's eyes. The soft smile on his face when he looked at her.
"Mmm, you should see the inside of the TARDIS. It's huge!" Meg replied, ignoring his icy tone. Castiel seemed to be irritable to her lately and she was just ignoring it. The Doctor frowned at Castiel and shifted just a bit closer to Meg, meeting his furious stare with a challenging stare of his own.
"You should have The Doctor give you three a tour sometime, its pretty awesome." Meg said, mostly talking to Dean and Sam right then.
"Really?" Asked Sam, curiosity in his voice as he watched her. Sam was listening but Dean on the other hand was carefully watching Castiel and The Doctor as they stared each other down.
"Mmm, hey Doctor I'm going to the town nearby to get Dean, Sam and Cass some supplies. Want to come?" Meg said, turning her eyes back to him as she looked up at him. The Doctor grinned down at her as he recomposed himself.
"Sure! You could show me around." He replied, Meg nodded and turned to Dean.
"Where are the keys to the Impala?" Meg said to him, Dean quickly snapped his attention back to her.
"Oh here." He muttered tossing them to her, Meg reached up catching them and giving Dean a nod.
"Thanks there Dean-o." She replied and with that she turned on her heel and strolled over to the car and getting into the driver's seat. The Doctor slid into the passenger seat next to her.
"Oh and don't forget the pie!" Dean yelled to Meg as she pulled out of the place and onto the rode. Meg smirked as she considered actually, purposely forgetting it or getting him cake instead. Meg shared the idea with The Doctor.
"We should get the pie, but get cake as well and give him the cake. Tell him they were out of pie." He replied, a sly smile tugging at his lips. Meg nodded in agreement and returned the his smile. The pulled up to the convenient store to get the food and drink they needed. They payed for what they got and left, thought The Doctor insisted on a tour of the town. It was small but nice, though Meg didn't know it that well he seemed perfectly content just driving around. They drove to different stores and looked around, at one point they came across a candy store and The Doctor was hooked. Meg ended up buying him a ton of candy because he couldn't choose what he wanted.
As they drove back after about two and a half hours of driving around he began to tell jokes and actually throw candy at her. Meg let out a noise of surprise but began to laugh.
"Stop I'm driving!" She exclaimed but he just grinned and threw another piece at her. Meg was trying to concentrate on driving but was also laughing and trying to dodge the candy he through at her. They pulled up to the cabin, both in rather good moods.
"You are the one explaining all the candy everywhere in the Impala to Dean." Meg huffed and he smirked at her.
"You make it sound like a death sentence." He replied and Meg returned the smirk.
"Might as well be, Dean loves this thing." She replied, getting out of the car and getting all the groceries. The Doctor snatched up his three bags of candy, humming something in another language as they walked in the cabin door. As they walked in Dean and Castiel seemed to be in an extremely serious debate that was bordering on an argument. Sam sat on the couch as he watched the two that were in the living room. Sam turned to them as they walked in, appearing rather relieved and quickly getting up to help with the groceries.
"Its about time you got back." Dean growled, turning his furious glare toward her. Meg bristled indignantly as she stared at him.
"What's that supposed to mean Dean? Did I pass my curfew of being out to go get groceries?!" She snapped at him, sarcasm woven into the angry comment. He opened his jaws to reply but The Doctor quickly cut him off.
"Blame me she was gone so long, I wanted a tour of the town." He said to Dean, offering him a half-smile but Castiel quickly jumped in.
"Yeah that's another matter. Stay away from her!" Castiel said, glaring The Doctor down.
"Who are you to decide that huh Castiel?!" Meg snapped back and without waiting for an answer she grabbed The Doctor's arm and half dragged out of the cabin. She storm through the woods, straight to the TARDIS with him in tow. She went in and slammed the doors behind her, seething with anger.
"Who does he think he is?" She muttered to herself, pacing the TARDIS. The Doctor set his candy down and stepped in front of Meg, resting his hands on her shoulders and stopping her.
"Hey, its alright." He said, offering her a sad smile as he stared down at her.
"He's just trying to protect you. I guess he thought you would take up my offer." He said and Meg stared up at him with now curiosity brimming in her eyes.
"Your offer for what..?" Meg said tilting her head to the side as she watched him carefully. The Doctor hesitated a moment before he responded, obviously he was apprehensive to tell her.
"To come with me." He murmured, shifting his eyes sideways, unable to meet her gaze. Meg frowned at him as he shifted a bit uncomfortably.
"To travel with you?" She said, tilting her head to the side.
"Yes." He murmured softly, obviously he was afraid she would say no and leave. Meg frowned to herself, travel with him? She barely knew him yet she couldn't forget the way he made her laugh. The stories he told as well were incredible, would she be able to see some of that? She hadn't noticed that he had turned away and started walking toward the door, his head hanging some.
"Wait! Of course I want to go!" She exclaimed, hurrying after him. But he caught her off guard by whirling around and before she had a chance to react he had his arms around her. Meg let out a grunt of surprise as he pulled her closer, almost crushing her in his embrace.
"Thank you! I've been so lonely!" He gasped and just like that he let her go as well.
"Oh we need to fix the TARDIS. If we start working now and don't stop we can hopefully have it fixed by morning." He muttered starting to rush about, giving Meg instructions on what to do. So the two of them worked and worked into the evening and night, right up into early morning when they finally stopped at six o'clock.
"Well then, time to go and tell the boys that we're off...you still do want to come...?" He said still hesitating. Meg just rolled her eyes and chuckled softly.
"Of course." She replied and soon both of them were heading back to the cabin in light moods. As the cabin came into view so did Dean, Sam and Castiel who were outside and none of them looked please. The Doctor and Meg exchanged looks before quickening their stride until they came to a stop a few feet away from the trio. Sam looked sympathetically at Meg like he already knew what was coming.
"Were you with him all night?" Castiel said, his tone was dangerously calm.
"Yes, we were fixing the TARDIS." Meg responded, meeting the ex-angel's stare.
"You leaving with him?" Dean said, it was as if the two were taking cues from each other. Meg frowned, she knew this probably wouldn't be good but there was no hiding the truth now.
"Yes." She responded calmly, Sam flinched slightly as he glanced at Dean and Castiel. Castiel suddenly appeared defeated as he stared at her, sadness in his eyes.
"I can't change your mind can I?" He murmured softly and Meg shook her head.
"No, I want to leave. I want to see what is out there. Most of all I want a life where I don't have to constantly run from Crowley or other demons. I want a life that isn't the life I have now, face it me and Dean and Sam aren't exactly "bffs". You'll do fine without me Cass." Meg said as she stared at him with an unwavering gaze. Castiel turned his gaze to The Doctor, sorrow and pain reflected there.
"Take care of her, don't let anything happen to her." He pleaded, The Doctor nodded to him.
"Of course." He murmured, resting a hand on Meg's shoulder as he returned Castiel's stare. Meg didn't want to stay any longer, she hated goodbyes and this one was quite painful.
"C'mon." She murmured softly to The Doctor before turning and walking back through the woods, back to the TARDIS. She slipped inside with The Doctor behind her, he gently closed the doors and went to the control panel.
"Alright, where to first?" He said offering her a half-smile. Meg thought for a moment, she didn't know any place so she shrugged.
"Off of Earth please." She replied and a sudden grin lit up his face.
"I can easily do that, hold on tight." He said, flipping a few switches and fiddling with the controls for a moment. There was a low wooshing sound as the TARDIS started up and like that they were off, gone to travel where The Doctor took them.
