Mirrors
A/N: *Hello everyone, now as you can see, I am a huge Doctor Who fan! Anyhow, I just wanted to say hello and I hope you enjoy the story. This is literally my first fanfic. Any advice is helpful. Oh and I'd line to thank my new beta, Wren Geble, she's helped me so much with my story.*
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, it belongs to its respective owners.
~Now that that's out of the way, on with the adventure!~
*~ Inside the TARDIS~*
"Now, this world is an amazing world! They have animals the size of your average elephant, but don't be alarmed by them, they're actually quite friendly and love to play so be prepared to run," he said with a mischievous smirk stuck on his face. The mad man ran around the console as he steered the TARDIS through the time vortex.
The Doctor was taking the Ponds on a trip because it was rare the whole family could be together, and The Doctor wanted to show them a good time. They were on their way to the Brobdingnagian planet where everything except the people were gigantic.
The TARDIS landed and The Doctor ran to get his tweed jacket. When he returned, he ran right past everyone.
"Come along ponds!" he yelled as he ran outside.
*~Brobdingnagian~*
The sight was breath taking.
"Doctor this place is beautiful," River said slowly.
"Well of course it is, the sun and the planet are in sync so the sky is stuck in a forever sunset. The colors range from blue to a soft orange that you see now. A great tourist attraction if you ask me, but they don't allow to many visitors... not entirely sure why. Anyway, the trees can grow as tall as the tallest building on Earth and that's just the beginning! The buildings are so big and complex you feel like a mouse in a maze. Well, if you don't know where you're going-"
"Sweetie, I think that's enough for now," River cooed, cutting off The Doctor's rambling.
"Well yes, I was just explaining," he said sheepishly.
They walked through a field with various trees here and there that seemed to have no end in sight.
"Doctor, what's with all the mirrors?" Amy asked out of curiosity, noticing the mirrors that rested against the trees and in the grass. They had no frames or any kind of decorations. Many were in strange shapes, some jagged, some wavy, and others were twisted in very odd ways.
"Huh? Oh the mirrors. They're just for show. Look at the light as it jumps from mirror to mirror, illuminating the trees with colorful light," he said as he starred at the trees in awe.
They all looked around finally noticing the lights that danced from mirror to mirror, mesmerized by the beautiful colors. After they had their fill of the beautiful sight, they continued walking.
Once they finally made it to the town it was bustling with people and vendors. It was hard to focus on the people when the buildings were so huge, like mansions but with less glamour. The people looked quite interesting, they had the normal body frame of a human but you could notice the differences.
Their eyes covered most of there face all one solid color, no pupils or irises, just two big eyes, ranging from every color you could think of, no two were the same. Their noses were small and almost unnoticeable if you didn't look hard enough. But what was the most amazing thing about them was their skin. It seemed to reflect the color of the sky, painting them all various colors depending on where they stood.
Amy and Rory stopped at a small vendor's stand.
"Hey Doctor, what do we do if we want to buy something?" Amy asked.
"Well, it's quite simple actually. Just ask for it," The Doctor answered.
"Are you serious?"
The Doctor nodded. "You see, since they have such a huge supply of food, you don't have to pay. You just have to ask, kindly of course," a big smile spread across The Doctor's face.
Amy turned to the vendor asking for what he thought was best. She came back holding four dark green ball-like things. The Doctor took one.
"What are they?" Amy asked.
"They're fruit, Amy, just bite into it," he said as he did just that.
They all took bites of the strange fruit.
"Oh my God! This is delicious, Doctor!" Amy said with a huge smile on her face.
"Hey Doctor, where are all the huge animals?" Rory asked.
But before the Doctor could answer his question, their moment of bliss was shattered by a chilling scream. They all exchanged looks then took off towards the place the scream emitted from.
Once they reached the site of where they heard the scream come from, they could tell something was wrong. The area was being guarded by two very tall and very bulky men.
The Doctor walked up to them. "What's going on? What's happened here?" he said rather quickly.
"Sorry sir, but you do not have authorization," the guard said sternly.
"Here's my authorization," The Doctor said as he showed them the psychic paper. They nodded and stepped out of the way.
The Doctor walked past them with Amy, River, and Rory following behind. He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and began scanning the area.
"What happened here? Who screamed?" he said without turning towards the guards.
"Eyewitnesses say they saw Luminous walking home with a bag of groceries when she vanished," explained the guard.
"Luminous? Who's Luminous?" Amy asked.
"Amy, even though this planet is big, even though it has about a billion people, everyone knows one another. I mean, you don't have to know much about a person, just the way they look and their name. If you know more, well, then you must be important to that person. It's a psychic thing," The Doctor explained.
"Yes...and she has disappeared," the guard repeated.
"What? Disappeared? Someone can't just disappear," The Doctor stopped scanning, and looked at the guard who showed no hint he was lying. The Doctor turned his attention back to scanning the area. The frequency of the sonic had changed, he slowly followed the signal.
"Doctor, what's going on?" River asked as she watched him walk around, looking for where the signal was coming from.
"Look around. What do you see?" he asked slowly without breaking his concentration.
They all looked around.
"Buildings?" Rory asked.
"No, look closely. What do you see?" The Doctor asked again as he continued to scan the area.
"Mirrors!" River shouted.
"Yes mirrors. Everywhere you look there are mirrors... but why?" he said without really asking anyone. There were more mirrors here than there needed to be.
The frequency of his sonic changed once more, he had lost the signal. It looked like they weren't just sight seeing.
"Doctor, you think that people are disappearing because of these mirrors? How? And why?" Amy asked hesitantly.
"That's what I intend to find out," he said as he looked at the mirrors surrounding him.
