The Twins
I sat staring out my window at the rain. I really hated Sundays. I got up off the window seat and headed to the counter on the opposite side of the room. I grabbed one of the bananas resting there, and peeled it. I was halfway through it when I felt my chest burning. I pulled the key out from under my shirt but dropped it quickly. I stared at it as it swung on the chain around my neck. I whipped around. There on the corner was the TARDIS. My heart was racing. He was here.
"ALONZA" I screamed, I sounded almost hysterical. I grabbed the umbrella as I exited our apartment. I ran as fast as I could down the stairs and out the door. I stopped and looked around, scanning for the Doctor. I opened the umbrella and walked towards the TARDIS. I knocked four times. No response. I knocked again. Nothing. I used the key and pushed open the door.
"Alonna. What the hell do you think you're doing?" Alonza demanded, as she rushed in behind me soaking wet, we really need to buy another umbrella.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to figure out why the Doctor is here!"I said matter-a-factly.
Alonza glared at me like I had two heads. I ignored her and scanned the TARDIS for any signs of life. We could explain ourselves to the Doctor, but a companion? Might as well hold a sign saying "We know about the Doctor and now we're stalking him." We were alone. I sighed and stroked the TARDIS console. It was an absent-minded gesture, but it was the worst possible thing I could've done. The TARDIS made a whooshing noise.
"UH OH" The only words to be spoken in the TARDIS at that moment came from our mouths in that same instant, like all good twins we said things at the same time, finishing each other's sentences was for amateurs.
We opened the door of the TARDIS and looked outside. Japan, before we could step outside and look around the doors slammed shut in our faces. We tried opening them again, but it was almost half an hour before we got them open. We looked out and I almost fainted. I shut the doors and ran over to the console. I stroked it furiously trying to get home. The TARDIS whooshed. I throw open the door and ran right into the Doctor knocking him over. I landed on top of him and sobbed into his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" he asked as he noticed the tears streaking down our faces.
"August 6th 1945. Hiroshima, Japan." I managed between sobs.
He nodded. "Come on. Let's go get you some chips."
I got up and held out my hand. He grabbed it and I screamed. My hands rushed to my head. He jumped up and held on to my arms, looking at me.
"Doctor." I said and hugged him tight. When he held my hand I could feel all his emotions. The pain, loss, grief, and fury. I also felt all his hope, love, and compassion. As he hugged me I whispered. "You probably want to know how we flew the TARDIS." He nodded.
