I Don't Own Doctor Who And All Of The CREDIT SHALL GO TO RIGHTFUL CREDIT RECEIVING PEOPLES

Okay so this is the first chapter, and we start off with the first doctor (duh) and Susan, and I don't think anyone will argue with me when I say that Susan was the first Doctors main companion. This takes place before the first episode, somewhere on the TARDIS.

Susan slowly walked towards her room in the TARDIS fighting against the tears that threatened to spill down her cheeks.

'You're such a child.' She scolded herself. 'Grow up! Grow up! Grow up!' She shouted it over and over in her mind, until she sank to the clean white floor shaking. A choked sob made its way out of her, and she buried her fingers into her inky hair. Slowly at first, then faster and faster, tears rushed down her face and onto the floor.

After a good five minutes she was sitting, curled up in a all, rocking back and forth, and murmuring to herself. After another five minutes and she heard a voice echoing around the twisting, and curving halls of the ship.

"Susan! Susan child, where are you my dear?" The Doctor's voice caused Susan to jump to her feet, and brush away as many tears as possible.

"I'm here Grandfather, don't worry, I just got lost on the way to my room, you don't have to help me….." Her voice cracked, and even though she knew she couldn't, she tried to hide her blurry eyes, as she slid back down to the floor.

"Well, Susan, why are you- Good Lord Child, what's wrong?" As soon as the Doctor rounded the corner he saw Susan in her messy heap, he rushed to her side and tried to pull her into a hug. Giving a hysterical laugh, Susan pushed the Doctor away.

"I can't take it! It's…. it's too much Grandfather!" She screeched. "The traveling, and the danger, and the- the death! It can be so terrible and I can't do it! I'm a selfish child, Grandfather, and I'm not good enough for this. I'm not brave enough, not smart enough, and not kind enough. You need to take me home." With that having been said, she flung her head into her lap, and gave out chocked sobs.

The Doctor stood there, unmoving, for a moment. He was completely shocked. Shocked that Susan would hit him, shocked that Susan didn't like her life, shocked that she hadn't said anything earlier, and shocked that she didn't think she was worthy.

Finally he bent down about a meter from his granddaughter.

"Now, Susan, I understand that you upset, but-"

"Grandfather-"

"Don't interrupt! Listen to me. You are brilliant, and wonderful, and courageous, and gorgeous, and I love you with every bit of my heart. If you honestly and truly want to go home, I can take you, but if that's what you choose then you need to know that I will miss you with every bit of my being, and that even though you are a just a child, and I look out for you, you look out for me just the same, and can't imagine my life without you any more."

Then without hesitation, the Doctor pulled her into a hug, and held onto her tight. Susan struggled with him, pushing, and pulling, and protesting, but then, as if by magic, she melted into him, crying into his waist coat, and clinging o his sleeves.

"Do you mean it?" She sobbed. "Honestly mean it?"

"Of course I do." The Doctor responded, kissing her forehead.

"Then I want to stay, and we can have as many adventures as we want, and you'll protect me and I'll protect you. Right?"

"Exactly right, my dear. Forever." And with that the pair went to find a new world.

Please review, I'm really excited, because I haven't done a story like this yet, and I can't really tell how it turned out. Plus I'm American, so you have to excuse any spelling differences or weird phrases, I almost forgot to switch to meters! Please REVIEW!
