Chapter One

The Doctor was doing his usual, running and leaping around the TARDIS, pulling levers here and there, not knowing where the TARDIS would take him next. He was on his own since he had dropped off Amy and Rory back home for a while so they could catch up with their family.

'Where to today, you sexy thing?' he asked the TARDIS, which hummed in reply

'Ooh, I like your style of think….'

BANG!

'Oh dear, this is VERY not good!' he shouted as the TARDIS lurched, throwing the Doctor across the room.

'Ouch! Warn me before you do that!' he moaned as he got up, rubbing his head

'And don't you laugh at me Mrs! Huh? You've got a signal off something? Well then, let's go!'


'Tahliah! Come here quick!' Jack shouted

'Why now? I'm getting ready for tonight!'

'Forget it then you miserable git!'

'Fuck you Harkness, stop being a dick, you know I'm performing tonight!'

Tahliah was a petite girl, about 5 foot 2, with several tattoos and piercings. She had bright purple hair and wore glasses.

Jack came up behind her and hugged her.

'FUCK! You made me jump!' Tahliah screeched. Jack was laughing.

'Not funny! What if I was doing my make-up, I could've had an eye out!' Tahliah couldn't hold her serious expression for much longer, and burst out laughing.

'Gotcha! Knew I could get a smile out of you soon enough! What's up 'Liah? Kairi and Seth are worried about you'

'Nightmares…. Again… don't really wanna talk about it if I'm honest hun. I can look after myself' She replied with a small smile

'Fine, but you know where I am if you need me, you're not my best friend for nothing! Oh, there was something I was gonna tell you but.. shit, you seen the time? Get your ass into gear!'

'I know! I'm almost done, will see you in a bit'

Jack kissed her on the cheek and left Tahliah to finish getting ready.


'Right, we appear to have landed… hhmmm, wonder where?'

The doctor approached the TARDIS doors and opened them; he looked around and noticed he appeared to be in someone's bedroom.

Oops, must tell the TARDIS to be more discreet in future

He walked towards the bedroom door, listened out to see if anyone was there, and proceeded.

Where's that music coming from? Note to self: follow the music!

So he did just that, and ended up in a bar of sorts, he looked around, when he was patted on the back.

'So you arrived then Doctor?'

'Jack? How did you recognise me? Was that your signal?'

'You're the most uncomfortable looking person here, no offence, and you looked a bit lost, Bow ties eh? What's all that about?

'Bow ties are cool Jack, don't diss the bow tie! So, was it your signal? What's wrong?'

'As are fezzes, so I've heard. It's about Tahliah, a friend of mine… are you even listening?'

The Doctor had become distracted by the singing he could hear

'Sorry Jack, but who is that singing?'

'…And that leads us onto the person in question, Tahliah; a fiercely independent and stubborn woman, my best friend and one of the few people I trust my immortal life with. She's a powerful being Doctor, as in, more so than you.'

'Sorry, what? Not being big headed, but is that even possible?'

'Apparently so, she's half time lord half witch. She wasn't born; she was created, as a weapon of sorts. She knows who she is, her past etc… but not enough to know how powerful she actually is. She's thrown me across a room before… and it hurt like a bitch'

'Ooh, fun! I want to meet her!'

'She's the one singing, you won't be able to see her from here cos of the crowd, but I'll describe her for you'

That singing sounds like an angel, how can it be coming from one of the most powerful, destructive beings in the universe?

'She's short, but don't let that deceive you, about 5 foot 2, bright purple hair, turquoise eyes, erm, nose, ears, lip and tongue piercings, several tattoos, wears glasses… basically you won't miss her when you see her!'

'Right, purple hair, short, piercings, tattoos… and a temper?'

'Pretty much! Look, I've gotta do a few things before 'Liah finishes, but you're welcome to stay around. Let me know if you need anything Doc.'

'Fair enough, I'll see you later then Jack? Then I get to meet everyone?'

'Definitely'

And with that, Jack disappeared into the crowd. The Doctor made his way back to the TARDIS, the music had stopped now, but he could still hear the crowd.

Right old girl, I suppose I should thank you for bringing me here, shouldn't I?

He carried on getting his stuff together from the TARDIS, stepped out the door when…
