*I don't own Doctor Who*

Chapter 1

Welcome Aboard

Lilly's POV

It was just a simple afternoon on June the fifth when these creatures, strange creatures, invaded the park. Aliens, they must have been, but frightening ones. I met a not so frightening one today saving us. I was only seven and playing at the park with my younger sister, Allyson. She was only two, but had been asking for a long time to come to the park. We had not been expecting an attack from these strange little metal things with strange voices. Daleks.

Then, the Police Box all in a rush. No one could tell what was going on. Once the enemy made it's shot the rest cleared out. Except for us that is my sister and I staying just like we did before, but they circled us now. Even, if we wanted to run we couldn't. Something held them back though.

The Doctor's POV

The Daleks escaped again and I wasn't expecting them at all. This was my fifteenth face I just regenerated about a year ago just traveling alone. So lonely trapped in the TARDIS, but I had a duty to save the Earth today. When, the TARDIS finally landed I swung open the doors and a small child with a toddler cowering while clutching tightly to her legs stood surrounded unable to move. Children scattered amongst the park lying on the floor. Then, the silver one swiveled it's head and it's eye focused. The children remaining alive ran as the other Daleks swiveled to glare at me too.

When, they reached their home across the street and the elder girl lipped "Thank you" trying not to get caught. I wore a short trench coat and a red tie with black slacks. I just smiled at them.

"Hello, Daleks!" I said confidently. They didn't want a fuss so they left realizing the park was cleared anyway. Knowing they would seek a fight soon I cast one last glance at the young girls still watching me great fully and ran back to the TARDIS, but the older girl followed me. She tugged on my elbow making me look at her.

"How could you- um- What were they?" She searched for what question to find first.

"They are Daleks and very deadly, but they know I can stop them. Before you ask I am The Doctor. This is what I do. Save the Earth and if you excuse me I have to follow them into space to make sure they don't come back." I turned around leaving my back to her. She was much to young to travel and I knew it. Others were much older.

"The Doctor? I've only heard of you in fairy tales. You didn't look like this though. You had many appearances, but this isn't one of them. Can I come with you?"

I stopped in my steps and cast a sad look at her, "Many die or are doomed with me. How could I take someone with so much more life ahead of them with me? I'll come back for you. I promise. Just a bit later in your time stream."

...

I defeated the Daleks and forgot about the two little black haired girls. It finally dawned on me a week later so I went back to gat her. She would be about in her twenties. She would be so different and may not remember me. She said I was in the fairy tales though, so maybe she read more remembering me.

I was finally in flight back to her time in London. To the park. I walked up to the brown house they once lived in hoping to see her open the door. A girl did, but she was sixteen. Couldn't have been her. That younger girl though perhaps.

"Well, who the hell are you?" She asked very cautious but upset.

"The Doctor" I said trying to sound confident, but I missed her. The girl waiting for me.

"My sister...she mentioned you when she was ten. She said you hadn't come back for her. All those years she waited. You've had young companions. Why couldn't she have been an acception?"

"I am sorry, but what's you name."

"Allyson Toni. You knew my sister. Lilly Toni. She's still waiting you know."

"What are you doing here?"

"I just got home from High School! I am only sixteen and you should be seeing my sister!"

"Where are you parents?"

Allyson sighed getting frustrated with me, but I could also sense sadness, "They don't much care for me or Lilly. They are at work right now or at the party after work. My sister moved offering to take me with her, but I stayed here."

"You can alway come-"

"With you?! You are looking for my sister!"

"You are in worse shape. Come on I'll come back for her. It travels in time you know she won't wait much more than a week while we are gone and you can come with me and stay for years. What do you say?"

Allyson looked at me thinking for a minute. She charged pass me and went for the TARDIS. "I'm coming."

"That's more like it, Ally!" I called smiling brightly.

Allyson's POV

"Ally?! I am Allyson! You may only call me Ally when you've earned it!" I snapped. He was supposed to be here for my sister! What is he doing taking women in a box to other times and bringing them back in "5 minutes"! My God! That man is a pervert!

"Well, Miss Allyson what would you like to do now?"

"I want you to take my sister!" I snapped cruelly.

"I said I'd be back for her didn't I?" He sounded serious and got close and quiet. My eyes glared into his, but then I got lost in all his thousand years of travel. So much pain and hurt yet something beyond that. Care. His deep kindness that goes beyond a soul. His lost of his world yet return of it and so many people, his companions, lost. My this man has been through so much, he's taking me in and saving me from my own cruel parents, and I am sitting here snapping him around. His hand reached for my face, but he snapped out of it and snapped his fingers opening the TARDIS.

I walked into the dazzling dark chamber. I've read about it being bigger on the inside, but so much awe. Looking around I smiled. "Doctor...This place it's...amazing."

He smiled at me again, "Now, how long are you going to be staying?"

"I don't know. I'd stay here forever if I had the chance."

His eyes filled with dread, "So many have died and so many were lost because of me. I'm selfish. I-I am filled with greed and yet so many want to come. Some live, but they live in so much pain. Allyson, you've risked it to see the stars and this amazing place you've only seen in pictures...You can't stay with me forever. Even if you lived you'd grow old and I've got years to come," he became shaky and behind the barrier holding all of his kindness I say tears trapped. He was going to cry. Memories of all his companions flooded him. Rose, Martha, Donna, Amy, Clara. All of them lost in their own ways.

I couldn't help, but to hold him. This man was being driven mad by his own loneliness. "Doctor, I'll stay until it's time to go, but just don't think that far into my furure. I'm sixteen with so many years to come. Even if I die young you'll have years with me. So many years. Trust me, Doctor."

He lifted up out of our hug and ran to the console. This was a very mad man and his emotions were spiraling out of control. I couldn't help but to love him. I smiled at him again.

"Now where's my room?"

"Upstairs on the left side of the balcony. The third door to the left."

I ran upstairs to my room and opened it to see a room full of all my interests. "I love it Doctor! How did you know?"

"She knew. She picked the room out for you just now."

"She?"

"The TARDIS."

"Oh."

I ran down the steps and back to him, "My this is such a big place."

"Well, welcome aboard then. I think we should take you on your first trip then. Huh, Allyson?"

"Yes, yes! Can we go see the future please!"

"What if we go to another planet?!"

"Hm? Like where?"

"Well, we could go to...Darion!"

What a random place! "What's that?"

"Um...well it's the official name for a planet up near Gallifrey. It's the holder of these aliens that died out while a new species over took it called the Darriottes. They are really a kind race, but that's their issue: Too kind. Many invaders come and they are defenseless. That's why I am out to save them a lot."

"Save them? From what?"

"Daleks."

My eyes widened at the thought. My sister said those are what attacked us. Daleks. Just hearing their name gives me a chill. When the Time a lords survived so did they. I sighed. "Can I sleep first? This is a time machine after all we can go back."

"Okay, We'll head off soon then?"

"Of course just let me have a rest, Doctor."

"I'll be down here if you need me. Just take a good old nap. Well, I guess I'll prepare some food for you for when you get up."

"Thank you," I said sincerely. I nodded to him and walked up the steps to my bedroom. The furthest one to the left was his and supposed to hold the greatest secrets of all of his life. His family and all of his past. A thousand years in one room. My, what treasures! I couldn't go in there though. He would sleep. Many don't see just how human the Doctor really is. How powerful he can be. He changed my opinion of him in less than five minutes!

"Goodnight Doctor."

"Goodnight Allyson, Darion tomorrow then?"

"Of course. Can't wait," and the door closed behind me. My room in the TARDIS. such a great big lovely room. One girl and the Doctor. He even granted me a window to see the stars. My. Where are we? This isn't the solar system.

I just changed my clothes into a T-shirt and underpants. My normal sleep attire. I drifted off into my bed and slept very well that night. The TARDIS was set to drift and the Doctor came upstairs. Probably to his room, but I didn't have the time to think out every step he takes. Then in the early morning I sat there watching the stars go by. Curled up like a little baby. "Good morning TARDIS."

I threw on my normal shorts and a white T Shirt with a half leather jacket. My hair tied up in a thick braid down my back. I did my make up with dark black eyeliner and bright pink lipstick. My blue eyes looked wild like I just came back from a party, but this look can worktar many ways. I can look like a sad, lonely girl, an innocent child, or just a plain happy one. I walked down the steps to find the doctor already up. He was sitting on the chair next to the console just reading a book.

He lifted up his head and smiled at me. "You're ready to go then?"

"To Darion!" I chanted. We ran to the console and he prepared the TARDIS for flight. I could tell when we finally were off. The ride was rough and I tugged onto the console with all my might. The Doctor just, almost leisurely, stood there. After years and years of practice this was normal. To me this was new and I knew that this would never be like any of the books I'd ever read.
