So... this is my first attempt at a fanfiction at all based off any show or movie. That being said, I would appreciate any and all criticisms. Or assurances. Those are nice too. Hope you enjoy! Oh, also: I, sadly, do not own Doctor Who or Star Wars. *tear*


When Lord President Rassilon asked for the votes, I was one of the two people, both of us women in fact, that opposed him. I couldn't bear to do such a thing to a child, making him believe he was disturbed so the Time Lords and Ladies could once again be free. Gallifrey, our home, our society, was starting to descend into recklessness and cruelty. We couldn't bear it anymore, so we left. Once Lord President Rassilon informed the panopticon of our decisions, we were targets. I immediately set about to find my TARDIS. The other woman told me to flee while she provided a distraction. "But Chancellor—"

"You have no time! Go!" she warned. "Get out while I stay here to protect this from happening." So I hid while Rassilon and the others began their journey from the time lock back to reality. I wouldn't have much time to leave, so I had to time it exactly right. My friend, the other Chancellor, would let me know when. I had a fairly innocuous TARDIS, a rather plain-looking shed for now. My chameleon circuit would kick in wherever I landed, blending him into whatever environment there was around him. No one noticed as I slipped in and secured my TARDIS. All the other people were more focused on getting out of the time lock. At least, that's what I had thought.

As I was preparing my TARDIS for its jump, I could hear pounding on TARDIS doors. Someone was checking the TARDISes to make sure no one was in any of them. My heart leapt and I had to quickly power him down. I padded softly to the console and unlocked it with my sonic screwdriver so they wouldn't be suspicious. I hid behind one of the silver pillars as one of them knocked on my TARDIS and opened it. He took a step inside, giving him a good look around at the blue-green interior before being satisfied no one was here. He was in the process of shutting the TARDIS when I let out a short breath of relief. I froze, as did he. Damn, I thought. Damn, damn, damn!

The man cautiously came further into the TARDIS. His eyes drank in every detail of my baby, and surveyed the room with a keen eye on spotting anything out of the ordinary. Nothing caught his eye as he went back down the ramp to the entrance. I held my breath until he had shut the TARDIS. I slowly exhaled, not daring to move until I heard him several TARDISes down. I went to my console, locked the TARDIS with my sonic, and began the power-up. I hadn't been in here for ages. I had only taken her out a handful of times in the 1000 years or so I'd been alive. Yeah, I'm a bit young for a Time Lady, and not much versed in anything except our history, which I was still lacking some of. I'd only regenerated once before. No bother to me.

Part of my mind was focused on my friend while the other HAD to focus on my controls. Like I said, only took her out a couple of times. I was still getting used to my controls and where everything was situated. As the machine rumbled to a squeaky start, I heard more than one scout shouting to the others and also at my TARDIS.

NOW! My friend sent. Her voice sounded scared, and I would have froze if my hands hadn't been on the buttons ready to go. Before I could think, I slammed my hand down on the button, causing my TARDIS to fade from sight as the two scouts scrambled to their own to follow me. But they didn't know my coordinates. Hell, I didn't even know where I was going to end up. I had punched in a random coordinate in the hopes no one would be able to guess my mind. Heh, being a young Time Lady did have its benefits, I thought, grinning mischievously. I wondered where I would end up. Didn't take long for me to find out.
