Almost doctor Martha Jones was in the TARDIS, waiting for the Doctor to return from a small trip he had made. About twenty minutes ago, the Doctor had suddenly decided that he needed to go and grab a few bags of Jelly Babies from modern day Earth. His reasoning escaped Martha. He was a 903 year old alien who had all the energy and hyperactivity of a small child. It wasn't as if he, of all people, needed sugar. Nevertheless Martha had humored him, chosing to stay inside the ship while he went on his quest. She was sitting comfortably in the captain's chair, reading a book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She checked the time on her phone, setting the book down. Twenty-seven minutes had passed. She wondered vaguely what was taking the Doctor so long. Maybe London was under attack. Again. Just as she was about to poke her head outside the TARDIS to see if Daleks were invading London, the door to the ship opened.
"There you are." She stood up and walked around the center console so that she could see the Doctor properly. "I was starting to think that the world might need saving agai-" Martha stopped talking, too stunned by the sight before her to speak properly. The Doctor looked up at her questioningly.
"What?" He asked.
"Doctor...What have you got?" Martha inquired carefully. The Time Lord shifted his gaze down to what he held in his arms, then back up to Martha.
"This, Miss Martha Jones, is a cat." He explained. Martha nodded with exaggerated slowness.
"No, I mean, what are you doing with it?"
The Doctor cradled the small, black kitten in one arm, and stroked it with the other.
"Well it was cold, and alone, and following me, Martha! He was so adorable! So I picked him up and brought him back here! He's part of the TARDIS family now!" He explained gleefully. Martha stared at him for a moment, trying to process things.
You've brought a kitten onboard the TARDIS." She said, just to clarify. The Doctor nodded enthusiastically, grinning one of his slightly crooked grins. Martha took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Okay...Didn't see this coming..."
The Doctor cocked his head slightly to one side.
"This is alright with you?" He asked quickly. Martha nodded.
"Yeah, of course, Doctor. Just...Unexpected." She walked over to the Doctor, who handed her the kitten. She held it to her chest, examining it. Truth be told, Martha had to admit that the cat was adorable. Small, black, and with bright green eyes.
"You have a name for him?" Martha asked, petting the purring kitten. The Doctor thought for a moment.
"Krotagra." He replied firmly.
"What language is that then?" Marta asked, intrigued.
"Gallifreyan." The Time Lord replied simply. Martha nodded, knowing that her friend was sensitive about his home planet. "For shadow." He finished. Martha examined the cat for a second longer.
But his muzzle is white, Doctor." She told him, slight confusion in her voice. The Doctor stared at her.
"Well I'm certainly not going to call him 'Shadow with a white muzzle', now am I?" He asked, oblivious. Martha rolled her eyes slightly and shook her head.
"No, I suppose not." She agreed. "Krotagra it is." She handed Krotagra back off to the Time Lord who accepted him gladly. Martha smiled to herself, glad to see her friend so happy. Just a few seconds later she forced herself to interrupt the moment.
"We'd better get Krotagra situated here, Doctor." She said, getting down to business. The Doctor looked up at her and nodded. And so the TARDIS gained a passenger, and the Doctor, a companion.
This shall go through all of the companions, ten and eleven, finding out about Krotagras existence and such things. If theres anything you want to see, maybe a scene or one way that you want a companion to find out, leave it in the review you were about to leave, or tell me in a PM, i'll respond. The only think I can't do is the Doctors new companion in season seven. I have to wait to watch it on Netflix before I can do that. Anything else goes. So go ahead, leave a review, have a wonderful day, and DFTBA!
