Chapter One A New Beginning
"Bet you thought that was it? Thought that the three of us were gonna ride off into the sunset? I'd finally gained my memories, Doctor had regenerated, Rose was gonna understand everything and it was all gonna be good?" Georgie...well, Hephsta, asked. The girl shook her head and Georgie smiled.
"Nah. Nothing's ever like that when you're married to the Doctor. There's always complications...but I think that's what made he and I who we were. We were completely opposite and the same. He was ridiculous while I was calm. He was intelligent while I was a genius," the girl chuckled and Georgie's eyes went wide, "Don't tell him I said. I'd never hear the end of it." The girl stood up , walking behind her chair and leaning against it, a question pondering in her mind.
"You can ask questions. I can hear you, just can't really see you. All I really see are outlines, so I can tell that you're a girl...I hope and you're in my old computer room, again, I think."
"Okay then...you never really specified why you left your planet...I mean what was your planet even called?" the girl asked, throwing her hands in the air and turning her back for a second but then focusing back on Georgie. She smiled.
"Vexra. I was from the planet Vexra, it's...good it's beautiful. My father, the king, he controlled the weather...that was his power. However, no matter what his mood was, the grass was always green, flowers always grew. The buildings were made of diamonds and they reflected off the sun. Everyone called the city Diamond City." Georgie smiled, staring off into the distance.
"God, I miss it...I don't care who you are, you would've loved it. Everyone who visited always did, hated having to leave when the time came," she gave a faint smile and wiped away a stray tear, "Although, when the war came...God, it was horrible. The beautiful city, the clear diamond towers tainted red."
The girl momentarily closed her eyes, imagining the Diamond City until she quickly opened them, leaning forward against the chair.
"That still doesn't answer my question." the girl said, standing back and crossing her arms. Georgie smirked at her sassy attitude, remembering when she was like that...when she still had only her human memories, course she still had moments when Georgie broke through. Usually that was when some idiot irritated her, couldn't see that the Doctor and her were trying to do good. Hephsta was usually much more calm, tried to see things rationally, though there were times in the War. Moments that she wasn't proud of.
She knew that the Doctor had those moments too, it was almost hard not to. Especially when someone brought up the things that neither of them wanted, whether it was intentional or unknown.
"My father saw two possibilities for the future. And only two. Something like that was unheard of because there's endless possibilities of what can happen," Georgie cleared her throat, "Anyway. My father saw a future where the Doctor and I were the only survivors and one where there was no survivors. The future with no survivors...God, it was horrible. Earth barely lasted, constant war, constant invasions. My father saw that the two of us had a job."
"But..." the girl said, waiting for Georgie to continue.
"He also saw the fire, which I later learned wasn't an accident. Some Daleks had escaped the Time Lock that the Doctor had placed after we had escaped. I don't really know how they got out, maybe they were sent. Maybe it was an accident. Don't know." Georgie explained with a sad shrug. Then she squinted, leaning forward.
"Why are you standing up? Will you sit down, still got a lot to tell you." Georgie commanded, leaning back and waving her hand down, the gesture for the girl to sit down. The girl slightly blushed and did so, bringing her knees up and hugging them. She rested her chin and looked at Georgie, waiting patiently on her.
"That's better. Now..."
