Trapped without feet
Sarah Jane Smith, ex-companion to the doctor, alien fighter, she has seen things that you can only dream about, knows things that even the smartest mind doesn't and uses that to save the world from alien threats. She's a hero, she's brilliant, she's...
"Washing her blooming car." Sarah Jane muttered as she threw a sponge back into a bucket of clean water, which she had been using to try and get soap off the car. "Times like this I wish Clyde was under Luke's power, could have got him to do this."
She grabbed the sponge again and started trying to rinse the soapsuds off the car again, after about a minute she threw it back into the bucket. Walking towards her back gate, she looked at another bucket of water on the other side of the car; which was there so she didn't have to carry the bucket round the car all the time. She then opened her back gate and disappeared into her back garden.
Meanwhile, slightly round the corner, stood a black haired man with a black haired girl, they were looking at Sarah Jane attempts to wash her car.
"When she comes back out, we will jump her." The man told the girl.
The girl rolled her eyes, "Where did your maturely go dad?"
"Gone for a little while," he answered, he saw his daughter roll her eyes again, "Come on Maria, can't I have a little fun?"
"Just don't come crying to me when she hits you." Maria told Alan, as they watched Sarah Jane come out, this time pulling a long hose behind her, she pointed it at the car and turned it on, allowing it to wash the car a lot better then she ever could.
Alan jumped out of his hiding place, "BOO!"
Sarah Jane screamed at this and automatally faced Alan, hose in hand. Maria looked on, shocked, as the current of water hit her dad, being protected only because she didn't come out from behind her hiding spot. After about five seconds, Sarah Jane finally shut the water off. Leaving Alan looking shocked and soaked to the skin.
"Alan Jackson!" Sarah Jane walked over to her soaked childhood friend in front of her, "Don't you ever do that again."
Before she could do anything, Alan reached out and quickly grabbed the hose from her hands, pointing it at Sarah Jane, she gulped and started to retreat.
"Don't you dare." As they started circling, Maria came out of her hiding spot, wanting to stop her dad from doing something stupid.
"Dad don't…" but before she could get any further, Alan turned the hose on and Sarah Jane leapt aside, leaving Maria the only person in the water's line. She winced and put her hands up over she face as the water hit her, soaking her, a second later she felt the water go off. Looking at her dad she could see that he had his hand over his face in shock and that Sarah Jane had an identical expression. Grabbing one of the buckets by the car she aimed it at her dad, who then attempted to run. When the threw it, her dad was just able to get out of the line of fire and it ended up hitting the person behind him, Sarah Jane.
As the water hit her, she shouted out. Quickly as she could, she grabbed the discarded hose, aiming it at Maria, turned it on. Maria dived aside and the water hit the two people coming round the corner, Rani and Clyde.
While this was happening, Clyde and Rani were chatting as they made their way to Sarah Jane's; they suddenly heard a shout, which they recognised as Sarah Jane's
"Come on," Clyde said, as he and Rani started to run towards the house. As they turned the corner to Sarah Jane's drive, they got a quick sight of a black haired girl diving to the side before they felt water, soaking them to the skin. Rani screeched and Clyde shouted out before the hose had been turned off. Looking at where the water had come from, they were shocked when they saw a soaked Sarah Jane Smith, holding the hose in one hand and covering her mouth in shock with the other.
"What was that for?" Rani demanded.
As Sarah Jane could only sputter her excuses, Clyde rushed over to the other bucket and picked it up, seeing it pointing at her, Sarah Jane started to retreat towards her back gate.
"It was a accident, it was meant for Maria." Sarah Jane only managed to get to near the front door when Clyde threw the water. Sarah Jane dived aside as Luke, who was wondering what was going on, opened the front door, only to be greeted with water. Without saying a word, he rushed over and grabbed the hose, pointing it at Clyde and turning it on. Clyde ran towards Sarah Jane's car but Luke moved the hose so it followed him, soaking everybody else in its path. Maria and Alan, noticing that the buckets had been refilled, picked them up and shot water back at Luke while Sarah Jane grabbed the tube of the hose by the gate and tugged it out of Luke's hands, dragging it towards her, this caused the hose to fly out of control, sending water everywhere before Sarah Jane got it back under control. She started soaking everyone, with a big grin on her face, officially starting a water fight.
It was 20 minutes before Sarah Jane finally called an end to the water fight, by going to her back garden and turning it off the hose by the main tap, after two more splashes, which was the two buckets of water being thrown, everything stopped. Sarah Jane walked back to her drive, trying not to smirk at the sight of the four teens and one adults standing, completely soaked on her driveway, despite knowing that she must look the same way.
"Err, hi, we're back." Maria suddenly spoke up.
"Welcome back Maria." Sarah Jane grinned and walked over to Maria, hugging her, a second later, Clyde and Luke went over and hugged her, leaving Alan and Rani feeling left out.
"Come on you two." Sarah Jane looked up and gestured that they join in with the hug, which they did. Sarah Jane felt the arm of the man who had forgotten the times they had together on her back, sighing, she finally let go of Maria.
"OK," she looked at the soaking wet group, "Best go home, get dried off and changed and meet back here."
"Sure." Clyde then walked back down the street that he had come from, heading towards his home.
The rest of them watched as Rani walked towards the house that used to belong to Alan and Maria, knocking on the door, Rani waited until her mum came and opened it up, when Gita did open the door, she stared at shock at her daughter's clothes.
"Don't ask, water fight," Rani said before her mum could say anything, "I've just come back to get dried and changed."
Gita moved aside, allowing her daughter to walk past her and up the stairs, looking at the group opposite, she smiled to see that they were just as wet as Rani was. Sarah Jane smiled and pointed at Alan, Gita then shook her head and closed the door.
"Our house is in America. Maria suddenly said.
"Right, have you got spare clothes then?" Sarah Jane replied.
"Yeh they are just around," Alan answered, then his expression turned to panic, "oh god, the suitcases." He went to the end of the drive and looked round the corner, sighing in relief when he saw two large suitcases sitting round the corner, completely dry.
"Come on, let's get them in." Maria and Alan dragged their suitcases in the house while Sarah Jane and Luke went inside to get towels.
10 minutes later, everyone was dry and changed, and clutching large mugs of tea.
"So how did that water fight start then mum?" Luke asked.
Sarah Jane was about to answer when the doorbell went, "Wait a sec."
She got up and answered the door, which was Clyde and Rani.
"How did that water fight start?" Rani said as soon as she saw Sarah Jane.
Sarah Jane sighed, "Come in, want a cuppa."
20 minutes later, everyone was laughing about it.
Where are you staying then?" Sarah Jane asked Alan after everyone had calmed down.
"Probably Chrissie's and Ivan's," Alan answered, "It's their wedding we are back for."
"Probably?"
"I haven't confirmed it yet," Alan had a sheepish smile on his face while Maria slapped her hand against her forehead.
"You can stay here if you want," Sarah Jane told him, "I got a couple of spare rooms."
"Really?" Alan could barely believe what he was staying.
"Sure," Sarah Jane replied, "Give Chrissie a break."
"More like give us a break from Chrissie." Alan muttered, but out loud he said, "Sure, we'll love to stay, thanks."
"No problem." Sarah Jane was smirking with the rest because they all heard what Alan had muttered.
The next day, Sarah Jane, Luke, Maria and Alan had just finished breakfast when the doorbell went.
"I'll get it," Sarah Jane got up and answered the door, with Clyde on the other side of it, "Hello Clyde, you're here early."
"Hi Sarah Jane," Clyde replied, "Nothing to do today, so I thought I could hang out with Luke."
"Sure Clyde, come in, I'm about to do my morning check anyway." Sarah Jane stepped aside and closed the door once Clyde was though. They then went though to the kitchen to where the others were.
"Hey Luke, Maria, Mr Jackson." Clyde greeted the group at the table
"Call me Alan, Clyde,"
"Anyway," Sarah Jane spoke up, "I'm going to do my morning check with Mr Smith, would Maria like to see him again?"
"Sure," Maria answered, getting up, "Wanna come Dad?"
"Why not." Alan answered, getting up and following Sarah Jane, Clyde and Maria out of the kitchen, Luke sighed before getting up and following too.
A few minutes later, they were all standing in a line in front of a wall.
"What's a morning check?" asked Alan.
"To see if there is any new alien thing that started during the night," Sarah Jane answered, "Maria, would you like to do the honours?"
Maria smiled, "Gladly, Mr Smith, I need you."
The supercomputer came out with its usual loud fanfare.
"Welcome back Maria," Mr Smith said, before continuing, "What can I do for you today Sarah Jane?"
"Just the usual morning check please Mr Smith." Sarah Jane answered.
"Scanning last night's data." Mr Smith said, "Result, last night, at 02:00 hours, an alien signal was picked up at the docks," a map came up on the screen, highlighting the nearby docks where the signal was picked up, "I suggest that you investigate immediately."
"We will do that," Sarah Jane replied, "Thank you, Mr Smith, that's all."
"No problem." With that, the computer folded itself back into the wall.
"Look's like another mission." Sarah Jane said, then she faced Alan, "Want to come Alan?"
"Do I need asking?" Alan replied.
As they were walking downstairs, Clyde started talking about guns.
"If it can kill us though," he said, "wouldn't it be better to have a gun to kill it before it kills us."
Sarah Jane sighed as she turned to face him, walking backwards.
"You know how I feel about guns, they ahhhh," Sarah Jane suddenly stopped talking and screamed as she started to fall backwards, down the stairs, as she was so busy talking to Clyde to remember them. But before she landed on a heap at the bottom, she threw her arms out. Grabbing the nearest step she could, she pushed off and back flipped three times down the stairs to the bottom, much to the shock of the rest of the group, including Rani who had just came in.
"Sarah Jane, are you all right?" Rani asked, coming up to her.
"I'm fine," Sarah Jane answered, "We got an alien down at the docks."
"Lets get going then."
A/N: I finally got the sequal started, the two things that happened during this first chapter, the water fight and the backflip, was things in my imagation that ain't going away, so I decided to add them. Since this will be my first SJA more-then-one-chapter-story, I will tell you I am at college most of the week so I won't be able to update everyday (sorry), I hope you like this story.
You will find that this is tradiation.
So please, read, review and enjoy.
