Chapter1: Police box from Galafray
"Danny! Look out!"
"What Leo?"
"Look out!" Leo screamed back.
Danny looked around for a few seconds seeing no threats. Then a shadow enveloped him. He looked up and saw a falling blue box. A falling blue box that happened to be heading right for him. He spent a few seconds letting this process then he sprinted over to where Leo was standing.
The blue box crashed into the ground spraying dirt everywhere. It had just missed Danny and Leo by 10 feet. But it had managed to cover them in muck. But the box itself showed no physical damage, not even a scratch.
Leo walked over to the box with Danny close behind. It was a blue box that was made of wood. Yes that is right wood. On the top of the box it said 'Police Public Call Box'.
"What is that?" Danny asked with a puzzled look on his face. Causing his upturned eyebrows to scrunch together.
Leo looked at him like he had grown a second head. " Are you for real," he started, "What type of idiot can't identify a T.A.R.D.I.S. Next thing you'll be telling me is you can't tell when somebody has handed you psychic paper instead of an ID badge."
"I have never seen a T.A.R.D.I.S. like that before. It is completely different from the ones that you see around here. Why did it camouflage it self like a 1950's earth police box?"
"It is probably broken and as for the strange model, it is probably from another planet. What other planets have T.A.R.D.I.S.'s?"
Danny looked at Leo and said "Galafray. What type of idiot doesn't know that?"
"Oh," Leo said in a small voice then he got a panicked look on his face "OH! Do you know what that means?"
"Yes," Danny said as if it was the most obvious thing ever said in the history of the universe. He seemed scared by the knowledge. His voice started to falter. "Leo. You should get your sister."
"I'm on it," he said as he pressed a button on his wrist cuff instantly disappearing in a flash of light.
Just then Danny saw the doors to the T.A.R.D.I.S. open. A tall man in a tweed jacket fell out and crashed to the ground not even moving. Danny was too shocked to do anything his only hope was to wait for Leo and Charlotte to get here.
Leo materialized in his sister Charlotte's house. Her home was so different than his. There was at ton of light, it was very open and not to mention that there was always music playing at the loudest volume possible. Sometimes the music was even from other planets. She had a thing for earth music lately. She was always singing about the rhythm of love or the best song ever or some lonely boy. She also had songs about fixing people. That was actually something that she was good a too. He had never gotten into that type of stuff though.
He went to his sister's room and banged on the door. "Lottie! It's Leo. There is somebody that is here to see you in the court yard by the park!"
"He he that's a laugh! I would honestly believe you more if you said that there was a war concerning our planet," she said sarcastically. "Come on in the door is open."
He opened the door and saw his sister. They looked a lot a like and that was something that people enjoyed pointing out. They were both tall with olive skin, unreasonably curly black hair, dark brown eyes and crazy grins that caused everybody around them to smile. They even had similar personalities. They were kind to others and they would use humor in any situation that they deemed appropriate even if others didn't think so.
She was trying to put up her hair. Something that they both knew was impossible. She would get a hair tie around her massive mop of hair and in seconds the hair tie would snap and let her hair down again.
"Um sis… why don't you just use like 3 hair ties at once? Or something."
"You think I haven't tried that Leo? It is a waste of perfectly good hair ties."
"Then leave your hair down you look fine."
"Well bro thanks so much for the really heartfelt compliment," She started laughing at her sarcasm and even though it wasn't even the slightest bit funny Leo couldn't help but laugh too.
"Well back to why I originally came here, there is a man here to see you. Well actually that's not true. He is here and we need you because of that," Leo explained
" Alright, whatever you say just let me get my bag."
She ran into another room and came back with a bag that you almost never saw her without. It was a black knapsack that had little silver stars on it. The stars would seem to glow even more so at night. It went magically with every outfit, even today's yellow skirt and purple top.
"Alright lets go," she said with a big smile on her face. She put her hand on Leo's cuff and he teleported them out of her house.
They materialized in front of Danny, who looked generally panicked. Then Charlotte saw why he looked so in shock. In front of her stood a 1950's earth police box. Those didn't just pop out of the ground, well not any more anyways. They fixed that problem 11 years ago. But she knew that it wasn't a normal blue box.
Then she saw something that broke her heart. There lying down on the ground was the doctor, bow tie and all. She knew he wasn't dead or hurt, at least not physically. But after what had just happened with the Ponds she wasn't so sure.
She stepped over to him not caring what Leo or Danny thought. She kneeled on the ground next to him and looked him over without saying a word.
"Um… We'll give you some space," Leo said quietly. He grabbed Danny and they both left the area.
"Doctor are you ok?" She said it as if she knew what had happened and she was just waiting for a reaction of some sort.
He looked up at the pretty girl. He had never seen her in his life but he got used to that whole wibbly –wobbly timey-wimey stuff. It wasn't uncommon for people to know him and him not know them or visa versa.
He looked up at the girl kneeling over him for another second then he did something that absolutely broke her heart. He cried. Horrible heartbroken sobbing yet he didn't make a sound. 'Silent crying means you just cant stop'Charlotte thought to herself. Charlotte felt awful seeing him this way but she was unsure of what to do.
"Hey," she said soothingly "Hey. It's ok. Don't cry."
He sat up so that he could look at her. His face was red and his eyes were puffy. A steady steam of tears that looked far from over was rolling down his cheeks. The great doctor, the last child of Galafray was broken.
Charlotte looked at him for a few seconds. She contemplated her next actions hopping that he would not be freaked out. She scooted closer to him then wrapped him up in a comforting hug. He stiffened for a second then he let loose. He cried right on the shoulder of a girl he had never seen before in his life. He honestly didn't care though. He had no more shame. He just needed that shoulder to cry on and this girl seemed fine being that.
She rubbed his back to try to calm him down. When she felt that he was calm enough to acknowledge her she said, "Come with me. You need a drink."
She took him to a café that sold drinks from all around the universe. They sat down at a table and a waiter came over. The Doctor still had his head in his hands crying.
Charlotte looked at the waiter and said "Sorry he has had a rough time lately. He will get a number 7 and I will get a number 2."
"It's alright. And I will get that for you right away."
Charlotte looked over at the Doctor. She had seen him have bad times. He was over a thousand years old there is no way to not have bad times. Even the happy go lucky Charlotte Kelly; the most positive girl ever had her fair share of hard times. But she had never seen the Doctor so low, so heart broken, so devastated. It was difficult for her.
Soon after, the waiter came back with 2 drinks, 2 completely insane drinks. He put one drink that was a rainbow liquid inside a bubble shaped glass in front of Charlotte. Then he put a red drink with bubbles that would sink to the bottom of the glass in front of the doctor.
When he heard the glass hit the table he looked up. In front of him he saw that pretty girl giving a waiter some money. She had a weird drink in front of her. Then he looked at his drink. He remembered that drink. He used to drink it every day as a kid. It was the closest thing Galafray had to soda. How was this here Galafray was lost soft drinks and all.
After Charlotte had paid for the drinks she looked back over at the doctor. He was still upset but there were no more tears.
He looked up at her shyly and in a small voice said "h-hi"
"Hey how's it going? " she asked back
"Poorly. I am so so sorry about what I am going to ask but, who are you?"
" I figured the question would come sooner or later, there is absolutely no need to be sorry at all. I am Charlotte Kelly. The boys with me earlier were my brother Leo and his best friend Danny Allan"
"And um… where am I?"
"Gaea." She said
"You mean like the earth goddess from Greek Mythology?"
"Well where did you think those humans got their ideas?" she smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Almost every myth that the Greeks thought of is very loosely similar to us. Now the planet that we are standing on is not a person but the Olympians are based off of people from here, the minor gods too."
"Oh cool," he said still being quiet "And when am I?"
"Well you see that one is a tough question. Time moves differently here," she said differently as if she was questioning the word choice. "But um… right now on earth which you spend a lot of time on it is spring 2013"
"How did you know I liked this drink?"
"It's the only Galafrayan drink that they serve here. You're from Galafray and now after the time war I bet you wanted something that was from your home planet. Even if it is just something to drink." This girl knew more about him than some of his companions. He needed to know what that was about.
"Alright. How do you know me and what species are you?" he asked sounding very interested now. "Have we met or something"
"Heh heh" she laughed nervously "if I told you that you would not believe me. But no we have never met."
"Try Me," he taunted seeming to cheer up at the conversation.
"Fine 11, both can be answered like this. I Charlotte Kelly am an observant"
He laughed a little, for the fist time since he stepped out of that T.A.R.D.I.S. then said. "Yeah right. The Observents are myths and that did not answer either of my questions."
"Alright. So I am not real. You are not standing on a real planet. And you did not almost run my brother over with a T.A.R.D.I.S. because he is not real either," She said in a sarcastic joking voice with a huge smile on her face.
"Just tell me the truth. Myths are not real. Observents are just bed time stories told around the universe."
"I am telling you the truth you can trust me."
"But I used to hear stories of the great Observents. The people who would watch over time and space but could never act"
"Yup, that's us. Well the never acting thing is not 100% true. We as a planet can't act. That is why Gaea has never seen war ever and we were the first life forms ever. The Great Observents, the ones the Greek gods are based off such as Apollo the observant of the suns or Hypnos observant of dreams or Aphrodite observant of love. They can't act either. Minor observers just shouldn't act."
"Ok but I still don't understand how you know me." He seemed annoyed.
"Ha. 11 doesn't like it when he isn't the one with all of the answers. All right. With Observents in most cases you actually just have a normal job. My dad was a writer and my mom was a music teacher" she was playing with the straw in her drink "But some of us train to be Observers. Which is what I am. In most cases one person or a small group of people will watch over a planet or a mass scale of people such as the headless monks or the silence. My brother is the observer for the daleks and Danny is an observer for Klum. But sometimes there are people who are complicated space and time events like you or River Song or the face of Boe. If a person is like that they are assigned an observant the day they are born, by Apollo, they watch said person from a liner standpoint."
"Wait how does that work?" he interrupted
"Remember when I told you that it was hard to tell when we were. Well that is because Gaea is outside of time. Now back on to how I know you. You are a complicated event in space and time. So you have your own observant. Somebody who has watched you since the day you were born" she saw the realization dawn on his face.
"No" he said in a surprised but not unhappy voice. "No way"
"Hi" she reintroduced herself, "I'm Charlotte Kelly Observer of the doctor."
"Now that is cool, but you look like a 20 year old. I am over a thousand years old how does that work."
"Well you know how evolution works right? Well the time lords didn't just magically appear out of nowhere. The Observents came first then slowly evolved into the time lords. Genetically, we are not so different. I regenerate just like you. Well not just like you, it is a lot more violent and we don't get new faces. I have a mind just like yours, one that sees all of time and space. So I look like I am 20 but I am really 16 years older than you."
"Fantastic!"
"Ooh channeling 9, are we?"
"So what do you know about me?"
" I know you. I know Doctor Who. All of your companions everybody that you fought and that you changed a fixed point in time!"
"That was my last Regeneration. He went haywire"
"Well technically you still need a probation officer you rule breaker."
"Well seeing as you are you I would ask you to come if that didn't mean breaking the Observents code"
"I would send a time agent with you but they go rouge and then they become immortal then they turn into the Face Of Boe so it is just easier not to. It doesn't break the code either because my only job is to make sure that you don't rip a hole in time and space. And I have done a pretty poor job of that."
"So you are saying you will come with me. You are saying that you will be a companion that will stick around."
"Sure"
He grabbed her hand and they ran to the T.A.R.D.I.S. they forgot about their half finished drinks. When they stopped in front of the T.A.R.D.I.S. he opened the door looked at her with the happiest grin that he had ever worn and said "Geronimo!"
