Chapter 1: Missing them

Amy woke up in her room in the TARDIS. She walked into the main room of the ship where the doctor usually was. But today he wasn't there. He was always up before her. Did something happen? She thought.

"Doctor?" she called.

No answer. She was about to search for him but then suddenly she heard voices. She followed the sound to a room she had never noticed before. She walked in curious of what she might find. As she entered the room her eyes wonder around the room. One wall was filled completely with book sleeves filled up with thousands of books. On another wall was picture of people she had never seen. Some old, some young. In the middle of the room she saw the doctor sitting in a red chair. His back to Amy watching something on a television screen. She walked closer to him and watched what was on the screen.

In the video there was an odd sky scrapper looking home with circular windows and green grass in front of the home. The building was white and on the sides of the buildings where balconies. A young girl about eight years old stood in the yard. She had long straight black hair, light skin and green eyes. She was dressed in a blue plaid dress with puffy sleeves. She wore a white headband as well and white shoes.

"Look at me granddad I look like the humans!" she said smiling at the camera as she danced around in her dress.

"You sure do," an older voice said from behind the camera. "You will blend right in. you`ll have a great time on your vacation."

"Grand dad, why aren't you coming with us?" the girl asked sadly. "It was your idea to travel to earth again this vacation. How come you won't come?"

"I can't." The older voice replied sadly.

"Why?"

"….my mom….well she…..she is….she just really needs my help. Trust me, I want to go but I can't I have to stay. I`ll go next time I promise."

Suddenly two girls walk outside. One looked middle aged she had long dark brown curly hair and blue eyes with light skin. She wore a short sleeved knee length dress with white polka dots on it and she wore white shoes. Next to her was a girl who looked to be maybe 20 years old. She had light skin and very long blonde hair and green eyes. She dressed in a purple knee length dress, with short sleeves and pink flowers on the dress. She wore white sneakers.

"How do we look, Doctor?" the middle aged women asked.

"You look gorgeous! The both you do!" the man replied.

The two women smiled.

"Now remember the two of you." The middle aged women said. "When we get earth we must only use our human names, even when talking to each other in private. If we mistakenly call each other by our real names in front of the humans they will grow suspicious of us. Then who knows what they will do."

"Got it grandma!" the little girl shouted. The older women hugged her granddaughter and kissed her cheek.

"My Rydella," the man behind the camera spoke. "How do you manage to become more beautiful and incredibly sweet with each regeneration and passing years?" the man asked.

The middle aged women blushed.

"Oh, Doctor, you always knows the right things to say." She said with a smile.

"Who are they?" Amy asked.

The doctor turned toward Amy.

"How did you get in here? This room is hidden. When the door is closed it blends into the wall from the outside. In other worlds the door becomes invisible. How did you see an invisible door?"

"You left it open." Amy replied as she pointed to the open door.

"Ohh..."

"Who were those people? And why were you watching them?"

"There no one." He replied simply.

"You can tell me anything, doctor. I`m your friend."

The doctor sighed. "There my family. …they died a long time ago, along with the other time lords. I...I…couldn't save them…it's not something I like to talk about. Every now and then I think of them and the times we shared together. All the laughs and memories. Then I come in here and watch the old home movies of them. I used to keep these videos here so when I'd travel I wouldn't miss them. But now these videos are all I have left of them."

Amy hugged the doctor.

"I'm sure you did all you could." Amy told him.

"No, I didn't. I should have tried harder to save them…..all of them."

"Was she your wife? That older women in the video."

The doctor nodded.

"Today would have been her birthday. She was amazingly kind and generous. She always knew how to make a person feel good. She had a beautiful singing voice, the voice of an angel, I used to tell her. And she was the first one to call me The Doctor. It was her nickname for me cause I always wanted to help others and make the pain in people`s life go away. After a while it just stuck and everyone called me doctor. Even our kids. And she was my rydella. Rydella means true love in Galifrey."

"She sounds like a great girl."

"You would have liked her. She was a lot of fun too, at times a bit childish but always fun."

"Do you wana be alone?"

"…..no." he shook his head. "Let's do something fun, get my mind off of things. Let's go on an adventure!"

The doctor smiled at Amy. Then ran into the main room of the TARDIS.

"Where should we go?" the doctor said with excitement.

"Let's go to Hawaii! I've never been there."

He flipped some levers and pushed some buttons and they were off. But the TARDIS doesn't always take you where you wana go, but where you need to go.

Amy and The Doctor exit the TARDIS. They were on the front yard of a suburban home. The house was make of red bricks and the roof was white. There was two large window in the front of the house. And a blue door.

"Where are we?" Amy asked.

The doctor took out his sonic and scanned his surroundings.

"We are in the year 1955 in Surrey, England." The doctor replied.

He looked back at the house. Then smiled realizing where they were exactly.

"This is the house me and my family used to stay in when we would come to earth on holiday!" The doctor said excitedly.
