Oh and I do not what so ever own Doctor Who.
Sector Nine and ... Ligatrites?
The TARDIS came to an abrubt landing, knocking Rose onto her rear.
"Ah, we're here!" The Doctor exclaimed.
"And where exactly is that?" Rose asked curiously, getting up off of the floor.
The Doctor opened the door and intently looked out. "Sector Nine of course. Queer people these are."
He took a step outside and, spun on his heel and stopped Rose before she could follow him out. He grabbed the metal zipper of her pink hoodie and pulled it up to her throat. "Don't want to offend the Ligatrites."
The Doctor stepped away and held out his arm. "Shall we?" He asked with a cheeky smile.
Rose took his arm. "Doctor, what do you mean by offend them?"
"Well Rose, you see the Ligatrites have mouths on their chest's and it's considered highly inappropriate to show your chest around here."
She gave him an almost blank look. "And up here." Rose touched her lips. "Do they have mouths up here?"
"Most do." He grinned and they began to stroll down the sidewalk away from the TARDIS.
Rose looked around Sector Nine eager to see a Ligatrite with no facial mouth. It was actualy harder to find one than she originaly expected. Another surprising fact was that the Ligatrites basicly looked human other than the fact that they had hidden mouths on their chests. Surprisingly many things around Sector Nine looked human. Altough there were no vehicles whatsoever. It seemed that everyone got around on foot.
The Doctor led Rose past a long rown of colorful stalls. Each of the stalls was filled with various attractions, clothing and electrical hardwares. One stall in particular was selling various types of leaves; maple, spruce and even mint.
Most of the merchants tried to capture Rose and the Doctors attention and failed, but a few gave them wary looks.
The Doctor pulled Rose to a stop. "Hungry?"
Rose looked up at the Doctor in confusion. "I thought you said to never eat the food."
He grinned. "In most cases yes, but here you can eat the food." He gestured to the pale orange stall coated in bright yellow stripes. "Afterall it's fairly close to human food."
Rose looked closely at the food in shock. To her it looked as if the cook had used large quantaties of food coloring. There was purple fish, blue chicken, pink chips, red salad and green oranges. There was also a large container of clear liquid which Rose assumed was water. "Is it edible?"
"Of course it is!" The Doctor laughed.
He turned to the salesman. "We'd like two orders of your purple fish and pink chips." The Doctor winked at Rose making her laugh. "Oh! And two drinks."
Rose noticed a Ligatrite man frowning in thier direction and nudged the Doctor. "That man won't stop looking at us."
The Doctor followed her gaze. "No doubt. He can smell that we are different than him."
"Smell?' Rose asked perplexed. "You mean he can smell what we are?"
"Quite right." The Doctar answered as the salesman cleared his throat.
"Sorry." They answered in unison.
The Doctor payed the Ligatrite and they took their food and sat at a distant table.
Rose took a sip of the clear beverage and gave the Doctor an odd look. "It tastes like strawberries."
The Doctor lifted his cup and took a drink. "Nah it tastes like lemons."
"What? No it can't. The drinks came from the same container." Rose argued.
"No it tastes quite like lemons." He grinned.
Rose grabbed his cup and took a sip. "No it still tastes like strwaberries, it tastes the same as mine."
The Doctor drank from Rose's cup and made a contemplating face as he swished the drink about his mouth. "Lemons."
She just laughed and gave up on trying to solve the flavor of the mysterious drink. She picked up a pink chip and took a bite and made a face. "It's so bland."
The Doctor gave a cheeky smile. "Of course it is. The Ligatrites don't use salt."
Rose looked dumbfounded. "And why is that?"
"They are allergic to it. Deadly stuff to them. Melts the skin off their bones." The Doctor grinned at Rose's expression. He always enjoyed having the uperhand and surprising her.
Rose stared at the Doctor for sevral seconds trying to understand a world without salt. "Everything must be so bland!"
Before the Doctor could reply the light above thier table flickered.
The pair looked up at the light. "Bulb must be going out." Rose said with a shrug.
"Ah, but how do-"
"Pssst."
The Doctor looked at Rose. "What was that?" He asked somewhat suprised that she had interrupted him.
Rose looked confused. "What was what?"
Before the Doctor could respond a loud pssst was heard.
Well thats the end of our first chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. If not push off. (:
