A/N: Hey guys :) I bet this has been done before… but I'm not sure how I'm going to end mine. I wanted to see how my own ideas turned out (yeah, strange. Tell me about it) so I thought I'd write this! I hope you enjoy it! On to the first chapter!
Chapter 1 - The Doctor's Choice
"How would you feel about a trip to the beautiful ocean planet Odix!" The Doctor cried, spinning around the Tardis console, pressing buttons and pulling levers... Doing things, which really had no effect on where he was headed, but looked impressive. At least that's what he thought. "It has such wonderful-". Irritating sounding alarms ringing in the Tardis, and a considerable amount of shaking cut off the Doctor
"What's going on!" His current companion, Amy Pond screamed, her hands over her ears.
"Someone is landing in my Tardis!" The Doctor cried in outrage, reaching out to grab the console's screen. "Of all the- oh, they're sending a message!" He shouted back at Amy as she hung onto a rail.
"Hello Sweetie.." He read out. "River!" He shouted.
"Hello Sweetie!" River said, appearing behind the Doctor. He spun round on one foot, his hair flopping. Amy couldn't help but chuckle at the surprised look on his face.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, frowning, folding his arms over his chest
"Lovely to see you too!" River laughed sarcastically. "So where are we headed?" She asked innocently, batting her eye lashes at the Doctor. Amy stared at her incredulously, while the Doctor just rolled his eyes.
"Home." He said bluntly. "Get off my Tardis."
"Oh but she wants me here, don't you girl?" River asked the Tardis, patting the console desk, and the Tardis hummed in response. "See?"
Amy, who was leaning on a rail, had never seen the Doctor so annoyed at River before. It surprised her.
Suddenly, there was a random flickering of lights, spooking them all. Amy had seen it before, but she couldn't quite remember where...
"What's going on?" River asked, turning to face the Doctor.
"I don't know." He replied sourly. "Why don't you ask the Tardis since she loves you so dearly!" He said sarcastically, before clumping over to stand by Amy. She laid a hand on his arm and looked at him questioningly. He refused to look at her. The power on the Tardis instantly dropped.
"She's stopped!" River exclaimed.
"Everything is still working, only we're drifting." The Doctor put in, jumping up to see, but remembering his annoyance at River and stopping himself.
"Hello again." Came the cold, mean voice from behind them.
"Dream Lord!" Amy cried, spinning to face him.
"Well remembered." He said, turning to look at her. She shivered.
"And you must be River Song." The Dream Lord said, his image moving to stand beside her.
"Now her dreams are definitely something to see, Doctor." The Dream Lord said cheekily, glancing and the Doctors darkened, angry face. "Very naughty girl, aren't we River?" He chuckled, still staring at the Doctor.
"Ooh, we're not happy are we?" He asked patronisingly. The Doctor scowled harder.
"Throwing your toys out of your pram, hm? Or should I say Tardis." He glanced at Amy meaningfully, and she stared back him, appalled. The Doctor would never just chuck her out of the Tardis, what was he implying!
"What do you want Dream Lord?" The Doctor asked, stepping out and blocking Amy's view.
"I want to give you a choice..." The Dream Lord's words echoed as the Doctor's arms dropped to his sides and he fell forwards into a sleep. Amy and River made to go to him, but they too fell into a sleep.
"Sleep tight… Or are you waking up?" The Dream Lord said, before disappearing.
"Ah!" The Doctor cried, sitting up hurriedly. "Amy! Perhaps you could tell me what's going on!" He asked, seeing his companion perched on the console, swinging her long legs.
"Where's River?" He added as he got up.
"You just missed her, she decided to leave a minute ago." She said, leaping lightly down from her seat to come and join the Doctor.
"So how are you feeling?" She asked.
The Doctor just stared at her. Did nobody hear the Dream Lord? "Confused?" He said, puzzled. He scratched his head, then adjusted his jacket.
Amy laughed. "That's nothing new then! You're fine." She smiled widely, leaning forward and kissing his cheek. The Doctor suddenly turned into a tomato. A very flustered tomato.
"So! Amy! Now that I'm fine, where were we headed? Wasn't it an ocean planet?" He called, flapping his arms and spinning around the console, making sure that Amy didn't see the state of his face.
"Yes! An ocean planet sounds perfect. Are there beaches?" Amy asked, putting her head to one side.
"Uhm... Not usually... But we happen to be flying to one that does! That's unusual!" He said, peering around the Tardis to see Amy's reaction, and completely forgetting his tomato face. He looked more like he had a bad sunburn now, but it was still obvious he was feeling awkward.
Amy noticed and covered a giggle. "Sounds good! Can we swim?" She asked, jumping up to join the Doctor at the console.
"Yep, I think you can!" He turned to her, and realised how very close her face was to his. He could feel himself turning into a tomato again.
What is it about Amy Pond that makes me a tomato! He asked himself, confused.
"You mean us. You're swimming with me." Amy said softly. She too was aware of how close they were to each other. She began to lean towards him further, and just as her lips touched his, she collapsed on him.
"Amy!" He cried, catching her as she fell into him. He picked her up bridal style and carried her over to the seat. Just as he settled her down, he staggered forwards, and collapsed into a sleep too.
He awoke again moments later, to feel someone cradling his head.
"You're awake sweetie!" Came the unmistakeable voice. His eyes fluttered open.
"Huh?" He said, bouncing up instantly. "Okay, what's going on?" He asked, spinning in circles.
"Nothing! I'm just here to ask you something." River said, reaching out to the Doctor.
"Oh?" He jerked to a halt, eyes questioning.
River withdrew her hand sharply. "I want to travel with you, Doctor. I want to see the world through your eyes, see the things you see. Fight in battles along side you, and help to outsmart the bad guys. What do you say Doctor?" River said, taking a step towards him.
"Amy?" The Doctor asked, swivelling on one foot to face her.
She held her arms in the air. "I'm fine with it. If you want to go for it, go for it." She said.
The Doctor's mouth was wide. This was so different from their last conversation.
"I-I-I-I... Uhm... Well, ah... You see..." The Doctor began to flap his arms again, when suddenly the two women slumped to the floor in a dead faint.
"Amy! River!" He cried, flapping his arms harder in panic, running between the two.
"Enjoying yourself Doctor?"
A/N: If any of you have read my other fic you'll know, but if you haven't, I'm a big fan of cliff hangers, and will use them often and where possible. I'm also a terrible updater, so I'm sorry for that. I promise my next chapter will be better than this! A review for a chapter! Reviews make this worthwhile for me… and I'd also like to know whether this is a Doctor/Amy fic, or a Doctor/River fic! Please let me know!
Livy~ xx
