This is my first time writing fan fic story, so i hope it is of a reasonable standard. I don't have much free time at the moment so it could be a while till the next chapter is uploaded.
The Doctors Surprise.
"Do you trust me," called The Doctor almost breathless looking at his assistant Lauren holding her hand while running down creaking stairs of an old farm house in Hampshire. Lauren had long dark hair and rosy cheeks as they ran her hair covered most of her face, her clothes slightly dirty.
"Of course," Lauren said out of breath
"Good!" The Doctor said as they entered what seemed to be the houses living room, he pointed his sonic screw driver at a wooden trunk just across the room "In you get, wont be a moment." The Doctor said as they went up to the trunk, Lauren looked at The Doctor bewildered, The Doctor helped Lauren into the trunk and closing the lid which made a loud click noise as The Doctor did so a bright blue light came closer from behind The Doctors back, hairs stood up on The Doctors neck making him suddenly realise what they had been running from was right behind him.
"Don't you want to talk this over," The Doctor asked spinning round to face a blue orb, the orb made a screeching noise before it flew into The Doctors body
"I guess not," The Doctor said surprised grabbing his stomach his eyes wide The Doctor began to loose control of his body, his arms and legs moving in odd directions as if they had a mind of their own, The Doctor soon collapsed slowly onto the ground
"This cant be happening, I have so much more to do." The Doctor said to himself with a quivering lip after realising his fate that his heart was giving in. The Doctor leaned forward as he held onto his stomach riving in pain calling out in agony the orb finally re-emerged from The Doctors mouth just in time as the regeneration process began "What are you?" The Doctor managed to spurt out before his body turned into green flames creating a bright light.
As the light and green flames decreased from The Doctors body his new form became clearer.
"Where am I? Or should I be asking who am I? What happened to my voice?" The Doctor exclaimed looking at himself, or rather herself. "You have got to be kidding me, since when could I change genders? Well I guess any things possible, but why? Why now? And why is that trunk calling my name," The Doctor spontaneously questioned before pointing her sonic screw driver at the wooden trunk that has been making banging noises for quiet some time. The lid burst open hands reaching out Lauren appeared out from the trunk her hair sweeping over her face
"How long were you going to keep me in there doctor," Lauren shouted enraged with anger before pausing, shocked to see some one else but The Doctor she knew standing in front of her "Doctor?" she finally called walking past The Doctor
"Hello," The Doctor said waving with a friendly smile
"Who are you? And where is the doctor? You must have seen him, skinny guy, brown hair, about this heigh. Seen him any were?" Lauren asked before going to look out the window "He cant have gotten far the tardis is still outside, when I find him I'm going to rip him to shreds for locking me in that trunk" The Doctor coughed trying to catch her attention
"You wont find him," The Doctor said seriously
"And why not!" Lauren snapped
"It may be hard for you to believe but that doctor is me, just look at my clothes." The Doctor said opening her arms to display the clothes of the previous doctor " I'm sorry but that doctor is gone."
"I don't believe you." Lauren said defiantly "You must be of of those orbs from Praxius Mortum, The Doctor said they could transform. Now tell me where he is." Lauren demanded
"I am him!" The Doctor tried to explain before leaning forward groaning "I still haven't fully regenerated yet, I need..." The doctor said in pain
"You need what? A doctor?" Lauren asked
"Very funny," The Doctor said using the dinning table to support herself "I need crackers, and tea with three cinnamon scoops a dash of pepper and a bay leaf. And maybe a biscuit. This house does have biscuits right?" The Doctor asked staggering to the kitchen
"I think so, I haven't had time to look, if you have time to remember we where busy." Lauren said getting annoyed at The Doctor while following her into the kitchen. About ten minutes later they where both sitting on the small table in the kitchen drinking tea, The Doctor scoffing down crackers
"So your saying that Time Lords can change form instead of dying." Lauren said slowly
"Yes! I can't believe I've never told you, mind you I think the fact that I could become any one is far scarier then facing a whole army of cybermen." The Doctor said swirling her figure in the tea. "It's about time to get going new body, new places to explore. Seems like a good a time as any to explore don't you agree." The Doctor said getting up "Come on." The Doctor said to Lauren
"I'm not coming, your not the doctor I once knew." Lauren said sharply looking down at the table, The Doctor was taken back, but accepted Lauren answer and simply left her in the kitchen and returned to the tardis, turning the key for the first time in The Doctors new body seemed rather strange, as if a part of The Doctor was missing, lost and undetectable
"Doctor wait!" Shouted Lauren tears falling down her face. "I-I don't want you to go with out me," Lauren cried holding onto The Doctors arm
"But-" The Doctor began confused about Laurens recent actions
"I lied, I don't know where I would be with out you. Probably still in the gutters wasting away life wishing for something better, and you gave that to me doctor. I will one day repay you for everything, but until then let me travel with you." Lauren said fixed on the Doctors eyes, as she did she could see the image of her beloved past doctor. The Doctor smiled turning the key to allow the tardis doors to swing open.
"We better get going then." Opening her arms to guild Lauren into the tardis. Before entering The Doctor scanned the landscape squinting into the darkness as if looking for something to small to see.
"Doctor?" Lauren asked from within the tardis, The Doctor turned around and entered the tardis the doors closing behind her and soon the sound of the tardis engine began to sound. As the the tardis slowly disappeared from the landscape an ominous blue glow came clearer from a distant the sound of the past doctors shrouding over the orb. What has the orb done to The Doctor?
