The human way
The doctor woke up his hair half sticking up. He rubbed his eyes hardly remembering what the night before had entailed. Kelly lay next to him. Her sleeping eyes shut tight. He was surprised she didn't snore what with her chronic asthma and nerd stereotype. The truth was she looked perfect laying next to him. He loved her. He thought to himself that maybe because Kelly had brains and he could talk to her that she replaced Rose in his head. Not that Rose didn't have brains she was highly intelligent. He always thought Kelly may have had the brain of four people. He always said she was the smartest ape he had ever met. She stirred as he looked down at her. Her eyes flickered open she rubbed them without looking at the doctor.
"Oh god!" she said and slumped back down.
"Thanks!" the doctor said sarcastically.
"No, it's just I can't believe that well you know!" She smiled well saying shortly after she kissed him.
"I love you, but never again mate!" She said pointing her finger in his face.
"Well yeah maybe we needed to get it out of the way."
"Yep" she said. Kelly reached for her cigarettes in her bag by the side of her.
"You know the rules, no smoking in the T.A.R.D.I.S" He ripped the cigarette from her mouth.
"Oh I should give up anyway." Kelly's phone rang. A familiar ring tone the x-files theme tune which she found strange as she had just met the real people. A name flashed up on her phone 'Scully'.
"Ironic!" she said. She walked out of the room and spoke. The doctor could hear her giggle. She entered the room and began to dress which the doctor had already done.
"It's Scully just wanted to see how we were."
"How are they?" The doctor asked as she hung up the phone.
"Ok, they solved the hill Billy thing."
"When are those two going to get together?"
"How can you talk anyway, last night?"
"Oh we can't tell Rose about this?"
"I know she'd pull my hair out again like in year 4"
"You Tyler's your all violent."
"I'm a River's, but I'm thinking of changing my name to Tyler for Uncle Pete."
"Rose would like that!"
"I know" she smiled and pulled over her top.
"So no mention of last night?"
"What last night?" she said pretending to have forgotten already.
Kelly did her usual routine even after last night and sat in her chair eating special k.
"So where we going today?"
"How about the next Roman Empire?"
"Sound great? Where?"
"Earth, Silly."
The T.A.R.D.I.S landed. Kelly stepped out it was a bitter morning so obviously Earth and Britain or Russia she thought. The doctor picked up a newspaper on park bench.
"Hang on must have gotten the date wrong, we're on present day Earth great." He said his eyes rolling.
"So what we going to do?"
"Go and get the date right maybe?"
"Well either that or we could have some fun?"
"Well what sort of fun?"
"You know regular human fun?"
"Sounds great." His eyes rolled.
"Oh come on, I know how to have a good time."
"Oh go on then." He said grabbing her arm.
Kelly had told the doctor about some friends of hers, male of course. (They would be) the doctor thought. She was always the T.A.R.D.I.S tomboy. Kelly did her usual Earth thing and caught a bus with the doctor. They came to an underground layer in Manchester.
"Oh god what the hell is this place."
"Who's there?" a man shouted obviously a nerd his voice gave it away.
"Guess?" Kelly shouted.
"Oh my god Rivers is that you?"
"Might be"
"It better be" a second voice heard. She came running down and there were three men and one woman all looking pleased to see her she hugged them all.
"God Rivers where have you been?" a blonde haired man said. Well more of a boy round about Kelly's age. He had spots and was quiet short.
"I rang and told you travelling."
"Yeah you rang Matty not me."
"I'm sorry Andy." Matty stepped out.
"I did tell him you rang." Matty said. "But I couldn't hear you properly it sounded like you said you were on another planet." He was tall with dark hair.
"I was, and this is the doctor!" She introduced him.
"The doctor? Doctor who?" Andy said.
"Just the doctor" he said not looking at him and looking at various bits of paper work.
"He looks like a nark to me Kels."
"Well he's not but I'll tell you what he is?"
"What?" Becky said looking intrigued pushing her glasses on her nose, her dark hair tumbled in her face, and she was very attractive.
"Alien, a good alien of course."
"What species."
"Time lord"
"Yeah right? There a myth." Matty said.
"Yeah right do you have a stethoscope?"
"No but Nick while he's a trainee doctor." Nick was ginger with freckles and small. He pulled out his stethoscope.
"Oh let me guess you have two hearts?" he said sarcastically.
"You said it mate, check?" He did.
"Oh my god he has a binary vascular system."
"Are you sure?" Andy said.
"Positive." Nick replied.
"So when you said you travelled in space you meant with him?" Matty said pointing.
"Pretty much, and time. He has a blue box that does it."
"Wow" Becky said.
"So how did you meet him UNIT?"
"No Rose, you remember Rose?"
"God I remember Rose! Hot Rose." Andy said. Kelly chuckled he was always the perve of the group.
"Yeah, cool Rose." Becky said. Becky loved Rose she was always Kelly's cool cousin in high school. They'd all finished high school on account of them being so intelligent. She had frequently stuck up for them both.
After a lot of chatting and questions the question came up.
"So anyway who are you guys, on account of you being fantastic cool people as much as you call yourself uncool I beg to differ."
"We're the walking truth. That's what we call ourselves." Becky said smiling slightly she was very shy with people she didn't know.
"We fight the conspiracies, the government; we find the truth about extra terrestrials." Andy said.
"Wow you guys are great."
After a while they showed the doctor some of there research and technology most of it illegal.
"Anyway Kelly you still with the yank?"
"Don't call him that and no not really."
"Good."
"Well you know I went missing for a year and you were convinced it was alien abduction?" She said to Nick.
"Yeah?"
"Well it was" She lifted up her long hair and showed them her scar.
"What the scar?"
"Yeah touch it?" Andy did.
"Theres something in there?" Nick said.
"A micro chip. Well you know we told you we met the real x-files well Scully had one."
"Well it needs removing?"
"I can't it could effect my health if I do. Scully got sinus cancer."
"Oh my god"
"Well anyway Jacks workforce did this to me!"
"Oh my god UNIT?"
"No he works for torchwood now."
"So we were right they are behind all the abductions?"
"Pretty much." A tear rolled down Kelly's cheek and they knew Kelly but than anyone and Kelly Rivers never cried.
After a lot of discussing they all decided to drag the doctor out. It was a normal day on Earth for him he needed it. He spent normal days on tons of planets but hardly ever Earth.
"So we going to the Zag bar or what?"
"Yes course I'll get my coat." Andy did.
"The zag bars a sci fi bar. They play sci fi's and have costumed parties and play heavy metal music and of course music from musicals." Becky said giggling.
