Hey all, I know its been a very long time since I posted anything on this site, and I know I still haven't finished my other story 'All Because of my Human Side', it is on my list to do, I just need a bit of a break from that one at the mo, but I promise I will complete it one way or another! Especially as I'm one of those people who hates to leave anything unfinished!
This is just something I started doing in one of my more less than productive lectures, I don't know as of yet whether this shall be a proper story, we'll have to see how it goes, but I thought you guys might want to read it so you've at least heard from me and know that I am in fact not dead!! Any who, enjoy.
Chapter 1
'So, let me get this straight, you have absolutely no idea as to where we're going?'
'Nope' replied a tall, skinny figure in a suit as he bounded across the console room, which was currently pulsing with life as it lurched from side to side. 'Not a clue! Nada!... Wonder where that phrase derived from? Nada?' The figure actually stood still as he entertained this apparently very interesting trail of thought.
'Nada?' he repeated quietly, 'Anyway!' he yelled, once more running around, 'It's more fun that way! Flying blind! We could land anywhere any when and I don't have a clue!' he said as he turned around to face his companion, a delighted almost childlike grin spreading across his features, 'Isn't that brilliant!'
'But Doctor!' exclaimed his friend, unfolding her arms and pointing at him, her stance determined and defiant despite the ships movements, 'Remember what happened last time we flew blind because you just wanted a bit of fun?!'
'But we did have fun!' cried the Doctor, his voice gaining an octave or two.
'Oh sure, the villagers were very nice, we got to dance and sing and join in their customs. But then', interrupting the Doctor before he had the chance, 'someone had to go and start waving their sonic screwdriver around!', her arms flew around to emphasize her point, 'knowing that they were a highly superstitious civilisation and the next minute we're the centre of a witch hunt!'
'But I was trying to help them! I was freeing one of their people who was chained by an opposing tribe! It's not my fault that they took it the wrong way!'
'We had to run in the pitch black through a forest, tearing at thorn bushes, falling down hills into freezing streams during a great big thunderstorm!'
'Oh come on Martha!' whining ever so slightly, 'It wasn't that bad!' Martha just raised an eyebrow in response, her arms once again folded. 'Oh go on Martha, admit it', his voice low and enthralling as he sauntered up to her, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his brown overcoat, the tardis now still, the room quiet except for a low hum, 'Admit it, you know you want to'.
Martha, now concentrating on keeping a straight face and remain her ground as the doctor started to circle round, turning it into a game.
'You had fun, running though an unknown forest', he whispered from her left, 'Your senses on alert,' he whispered suddenly on her right, breath tickling her ear, 'Taking every detail in.' Then he was once more standing in front, 'See look at that smile!! You did have fun!'
Martha hadn't even realised that her face was betraying her, thinking herself used to the Doctor's antics as he cheekily teased her, her past crush on him having turned into a friendly joke ever since she and Tom had gotten engaged.
'I'm not smiling!'
'Oh but I believe you are!'
'I'm not!'
'Are too!'
'Are not!'
'Are too!'
'Are not!'
'Are are are!'
'Not not not!'
Resulting in a staring competition, the Doctor leaning down slightly to be at Martha's level, both trying to get the other to break first. This continued for barely a minute until they simultaneously doubled up in laughter.
'Your face!' cried Martha in between breaths, 'I knew you couldn't keep still for even a minute! I just knew!'
'Neither can you Miss Jones! Thank you very much!'
Once their laughter had subsided they were calm enough to realise that they had in fact arrived at their new destination.
'Ready?' asked the Doctor, a mischievous grin plastered across his features.
'Ready as ever' replied Martha, already tingling at the thought of what wonders awaited them on the other side of that door. Then, pulling on her jacket, she took the Doctor's outstretched hand and together they strode out though the doors, only to be greeted by an
ancient dark forest. Martha glared at the Doctor as she heard a familiar amused rumble from the tardis, while the Doctor could only shrug innocently before pulling her after him as he strode deeper into the unknown.
Well hope you like it, just so you know, this is set before journeys end, donna is just visiting her family for a while so the doc has persuaded Martha on a trip as Tom's away in Africa and she's on her own. It will probably come up later on but hey, doesn't hurt to say it now!
R&R!!
