I awoke that morning not knowing what kind of hell was going to ensue.
It was just like any other Friday. I had the day off so I had to decide what I was going to do that day. I woke up at the crack of noon, dragged myself out of bed and dressed.
"What to do today," I muttered.
I finally decided I'd do some shopping.
****
I hummed to myself as I walked down the aisles at the local department store.
As I was reaching down to pick out a dress, a man in a long tan coat as well as a blue pinstriped suit ran down the center aisle, nearly knocking me over.
"Oi!" I yelled, "Watch it!"
"Sorry," he said, "I'd move if I were you."
"Why?"
"Because something's 'bout to attack you."
I looked around. No one was in my personal bubble except this strange man and a mannequin. "Who?"
The mannequin turned to face us. It's hand opened to reveal a gun.
"That!" He pulled me out of the way just as it began to open fire.
"What is that?" I screamed.
"An Auton, not good, but it's fake," he explained quickly. "No Nestene Consciousness. You aren't real, are you?" He seemed to be addressing the mannequin. "Nope, you aren't! So I can do this!" He pulled an aerosol can out of his pocket and threw it at the thing.
The strange man tackled me to the ground. The can exploded with a "FOOM!"
"What was that?" I yelled over the screams of the employees and customers.
"Nitroglycerin," he replied as if it were part of an everyday conversation.
"Who are you?"
"Good Lord, you have a lot of frivolous questions. I'm the Doctor. Do you know where I could reach a Dr. Lily Rose Evans?"
"How do you know my name?" I asked, frightened.
"I need you."
"So does my ex-boyfriend," I retorted.
"Not like that! Although, you are quite fit..."
"Then what is it you want?"
"Listen, can I talk to you somewhere else? Like your home?" Upon seeing my disturbed look, he added, "It's important!"
"I suppose." I scrambled to my feet and helped him up.
****
"So, what you're saying is that you need me because you have this crazy idea that I'm some sort of Timelord?" I said, attempting to clear up everything the Doctor had said.
"Exactly."
"You're insane."
He pulled a small watch from his pocket. "Do you own a watch like this? A fob watch?"
"Yeah," I answered slowly, "I do. It was my grandfather's."
"I doubt it."
"Do you want to see it?"
"Yes," he answered.
I ran to my room and went through my jewelry until I found the small watch.
"Here." I gave the Doctor my watch.
"Thank you." He pulled out some glasses and looked the watch over a few times. He compared it with his own. Eventually, he said, "Do you own a stethoscope?"
"You said you were a doctor! Don't you have one?"
"Not a doctor, the Doctor."
"Fine." I handed him mine.
He held it to my chest. "Yep, two hearts."
"What?"
"Two hearts. Now open this, you're a Timelady."
I stared at the Doctor with my mouth hanging open.
"Don't gape at me, you look like a fish."
Slightly offended I tried to open the watch. "It won't open. Will you leave now?"
"Try it again."
I pulled harder. The watch remained close.
"Come on, you've gotta remember. You and me, we're the last from Gallifrey!" he cried.
One last time, I pulled as hard as possible. For a moment, nothing happened. Then the room filled with a golden glow.
Taken aback, I fainted.
****
"Wake up!" Someone muttered something. I felt something on my chest. "You aren't dead, wake up!"
My eyes fluttered open. To my surprise, the Doctor was hovering over me.
"Well, do you remember?" he asked.
"Remember what?"
"What's your name, age and regeneration?"
New knowledge rushed through my mind. "Liliannerosecosmosaastromida, how rude, and second," I said, amazing myself, "And I'm an M.D. Too. Whoa, that's a lot of information!"
The Doctor laughed. "Welcome back! May I call you Lily?"
"No."
"Lily or Fred."
"Fred then."
"All right, Lily." He continued to laugh.
"So, there are only the two of us then?" I asked.
He quit laughing. "Yes, only you and me. The Master's dead. Gallifrey's dead."
"What happened?" I asked, alarmed.
"The TimeWar. Both Gallifrey and Skaro. Kaput."
"Oh wow, I've missed enough."
"Yes, yes you have. Where's your TARDIS?" he wondered.
"I don't have one."
"How'd you get here?"
"I hitchhiked. Sadly, the guy I rode with was shot shortly after we got here. No time to regenerate."
"Hmmmm," he said, "What happened to his TARDIS?"
"I dunno. I didn't stick around to long after that." I attempted to sit up. A spell of dizziness hit me.
"I wouldn't suggest getting up right now," he advised me.
"Thanks." I laid back down.
"So, why'd you turn human?" he asked.
"I can't remember. Something about monsters, I think."
"Do you remember what you were running from?"
"I don't remember!" I cried, "What do you want?"
"Remember that Auton?" asked the Doctor.
"The one that tried to murder me? Yeah."
At ninety miles per hour, he explained, "Well, monsters like it are randomly popping up all over time and space without any particular leader or master."
"Oh, wonderful. And only Timelords can deal with it?" I asked.
"Well, no, but we're the most intelligent beings on the planet. And probably the only ones that can stop them."
I nodded. "You're sure you're not just lonely?"
"Yes, I am sure."
"Okay..." I thought about this mess. "We should find the source."
"The thing that's controlling them?"
"Uh-huh."
"But we don't know what that is."
"So we find out."
"Obviously, but shouldn't we start on something smaller?" he asked.
"I suppose," I replied.
"Then we should get going. My TARDIS is out front. Can you walk?" He offered his hand.
"I think so." I took his hand and he pulled me up. Promptly I fell into his arms.
"We'll work on that. For now, I'll carry you. Okay, Lily?"
I nodded. He lifted me up and held me in his arms.
"You know, I was just a little bit lonely," he said as we walked out the door.
"Ha!" I laughed, "I knew it!"
I just want to say that I own nothing except for Dr. Lily Rose Evans/Liliannerosecosmosaastromida and my story. I must say, some of the words aren't even mine!
