Summary:

The doctor has a new companion. She is bright, quick on her feet and seems to understand the doctors babbling. Is she really as human as she claims to be?

Disclaimer: I do not own anything other then my character (Naomi) and my plot used in this story.

This is the first story I've posted so please you feel like reviewing leave something nice or some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

Story start:

It was the last day of the dig and I was helping pack up. We had just finished up and I was going to let the people in charge know that we were ready to go. I walked in only to see Karen and William knocked out and lying strewn across the floor of the tent and a strange man snooping around.

"Hey, what have you done to Karen and Will?" I demanded

"Oh, hello, who are you?" the man looked up and smiled, "they're fine they will wake up in about an hour,"

"I'm Naomi," I told him tentatively

"Nice to meet you Naomi," he smiled and went back to what he was doing

I watched him as he continued to search the tent for something, "What are you looking for?" I asked when he made a frustrated noise

"A star like object," he answered shortly

"You mean like this?" I pulled out the star shaped object I had found earlier that day, it didn't look like anything else from the time era we were digging in and I had meant to ask about it.

"That's it! Give it here," he said

"No," I put it back in my pocket, "I don't think I will"

"Why not!" he asked with a frown

"Because it obviously wasn't supposed to be here, and there is no way I'm going to give it to you. Where this thing goes, I go." I smiled at him before turning to leave

"Wait, wait, wait, I need it, it doesn't belong here," he said

"Well that's to bad because now it's with me, and I am not giving it up," I told him before walking out

Before I made it out of the tent he grabbed my wrist, "Well, since I need it and you won't give it to me, why don't you come with me?"

"You want me to come with you?" I gave him skeptical look, "Where would we be going?"

"Well, you are quite brilliant, and I would like you to come with me to my TARDIS," he smiled

"Your what?" I asked curiously

"My TARDIS, it's my space ship," he answered with a smile, "Would you like to come?"

"Space travel isn't possible right now, not for humans anyway," I answered and eyed him suspiciously, "how do I know you're telling the truth?"

He thought about it for a few seconds and then shrugged, "You don't,"

"I guess I can check out this ship of yours," I said after a few seconds of hesitation.

"Wonderful," he smiled, "this way, let's go," he lead me away from the dig site and to a blue police box. He opened to the door and motioned for me to go inside, and then followed me in.

I looked around me in wonder and surprise and delight, "It bigger on the inside, like a whole other dimension is inside of that tiny police box"

He looked at me surprised, "Right you are, now we can put the star somewhere safe and go on an adventure,"

"Put it where?" I asked

"I have a room just for dangerous objects left by other aliens, follow me," he showed me to a room farther back in the TARDIS.

I placed the hand sized star on a shelf and then turned to the man, "Since well be traveling together what is your name?"

"I'm the doctor," he told me with a smile before heading back to the control room, "Where would you like to go?"

"Um, I don't know where can we go?" I asked

"Any where, any when, only condition it must be amazing," the doctor said

"I would like to see Camelot, can you show me that?" I asked not believing that he could

He thought about it for half a second, "Sure, lets go" he started to play with the buttons and levers and all the other weird contraptions on what looked like a control center. When he stopped the TARDIS started to make an odd sound and when the sound stopped the man, er, the doctor, looked incredibly please with himself. "Well, come on,"

I followed him out the door of the TARDIS and was shocked when we really were somewhere else in England. "Where are we doctor?" I asked my voice barely suppressing my awe.

"We came to Camelot, just like you wanted," he answered and held out a hand to me, "Lets go check it out,"

"But, that's not possible," I gasped as I took his hand, "we were just at Bamburgh castle, that blue box cant possibly be a time machine!"

He watched as I tried to wrap my brain around what I had just happened with a face of practiced patience.

"So we are actually at Camelot? The Camelot; the one from the Arthurian legends?" I demanded

The Doctor nodded and smiled widely, "Yep, lets go into Camelot, we landed just outside of it I'm afraid."

I nodded and then smiled, "Alright! Which way is it? let's go!"

"This way! Let's go," he smiled and we headed off towards Camelot

We arrived at the front gate, it was huge at least 3 times my height, and when we were close enough a man called out to us.

"Who goes there?" the man called from a top the gate

"I am the doctor, and this is the lady Naomi," the doctor called up to the guard

"Doctor of what?" the guard asked

"Just the doctor," he called back

The guard shrugged and lowered the drawbridge. We walked across it and into the gorgeous city. It was beautiful: the buildings were lined with gold; a monstrous cathedral stood above the city, gargoyles stared out into the city spread beneath them, the staind glass windows depicting numerous saints; the houses of the lower folk we glamorous as well; but what made the city the most beautiful was the castle that was placed against the wall and looked out onto the river just beyond it.

"It's absolutely wonderful, doctor!" I looked around with delighted wonder

As the drawbridge came up behind us we were surrounded by knights who all pointed spears at us. I moved closer to the doctor when I saw their intimidating faces.

"What business do you have here?" one of the knights demanded

Before the doctor could say anything I spoke up, "What is the meaning of this, I come to visit this beautiful city and I'm threatened after only five steps, this is deplorable! This is no way to treat a lady!" I glared at all of them.

Slowly they lowered their weapons. "We apologize, my lady," the man who had spoken before said with a bow of his head.

"Good, now will some one escort me to the castle so I can give my regards to the king," I said while holding my head up high

The knight bowed, "I will escort you my lady, and I am sir Ywain,"

"Very, well sir Ywain, you may escort us," I gave a slight nod

As we walked through the town the doctor caught up and walked next to me, "How did you do that? That was brilliant!"

"I was not raised in a barn doctor, I am from a rich family of nobles," I told him with an arched eyebrow

"But then what were you doing working at a dig site?" he asked incredulously

"History is my passion, doctor," I smiled

Sir Ywain led us through the castle and into the kings audience chamber where he announced us, "My lord Pendragon, we have distinguished visitors from afar; the lady Naomi and the doctor,"

"Welcome, My lady Naomi and the doctor," the king called out from his seat on the throne, "I as I'm sure you know, am Arthur Pendragon,"

I curtsied and the doctor bowed as Sir Ywain left.

"You're majesty, it is a pleasure to meet you," I smiled at him

"I assure you, the pleasure is all mine," he smiled and motioned for me to come closer, so I did.

"Your majesty?" I asked when I stood on the platform before him. I finally got a good look at Arthur's face; he had straw blond hair, and bright blue eyes, a straight nose, and a crooked smile, he was handsome.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a shadow flicker, I turned my head slightly my eyes flicked to find the source of the shadow behind the king's throne. It was there that I saw him, a man more handsome then the king; he had shaggy light brown hair, dark brown, sad eyes, a pale face, and a smirk as if he knew every thought I had of him.

"My lady, I am pleased that you decided to travel all the way here," Arthur said

My eyes focused on him and I put a gracious smile on my face, "That is good, may my doctor and I stay in the castle for the duration of our stay?" I asked

"Of course, you are welcome here for as long as you wish to stay," he bowed his head slightly in respect and I returned the gesture with a small curtsy.

"A guard will escort you to your rooms," he said and then motioned for us to leave.

I curtsied again and then left with the doctor who had watched my performance silently. We followed the guard quietly and didn't say anything until we stopped at our rooms, his room was across the hall from mine. After the guard left the doctor came into my room.

"That was absolutely brilliant!" he smiled and pulled me into a giant hug, "You are brilliant,"

I made a little bow to him and laughed, "Why thank you doctor,"

"I had no idea you were actually royalty!" he had a pleased smile on his face and sat down next to me "What is your position?"

"I am the eldest child of the Pendragon family," I told him in a quiet voice

He just stared at me utterly speechless for about five seconds, "You are his great, great, great, great, great, great, great granddaughter?" the doctor almost yelled

I nodded, "Everyone always says it was only a fairy tale, but they were wrong, I always knew they were wrong"
