01
It was a drizzly day in Cornwall, Phil sighed for the millionth time only to receive a hit to her head. "Stop sighing would ya? Honestly!"
"Sorry," she said rather unsympathetically, she was practically collapsed against the counter. The little restaurant café where she worked was practically dead. The rainy weather kept nearly everyone away, the woman beside her was called Jo and she'd only just started working here. Jo turned away and walked to the kitchen to go talk to the kitchen staff, who were not only dying of boredom but dying of the heat which the equipment gave off.
Turning to lean her back against the counter Phil looked at the menu in front of her, hearing the bell over the door jingle she flopped her head back and looked at whoever had come in upside down.
"Your blood will rush to your head, and then your head will pop off. I don't want a headless Phil running around thank you for offer though."
"Why hello to you too."
"Hello Phil! You look utterly bored out of your mind, can I have permission to perhaps relieve you of some boredom?"
"You have all the permission in the world."
"Good! Great!" Doctor beamed and pushed her head back up, the blood was slowly rushing to her head and her cheeks were slowly tinting a reddish colour. Phil turned around and looked at him, "What can I get you sir?"
"I'm a sir? You address me as sir? Oh well...I didn't know we were being so formal." Doctor rubbed his hands together, Phil looked at him dumbly. "Don't give me that look!"
"Take a seat," Phil said while walking to the kitchen and declaring that one more person had joined the other seven customers in the building. Walking over Phil sat down, "Whatcha want?"
"Where did the formality go?" Doctor asked while lowering the menu, "Tea."
"We do food...you know apart from Jammy Dodger biscuits."
"I'm not hungry," Doctor stated while leaning back against the chair and crossing his arms. Phil drummed on the table and walked back to the counter. It was a few minutes before she reappeared and put his tea in front of him.
"How is she?"
"Fine fine...she's fine," Doctor said while smiling slowly and looking happily at the tea in front of him. The two of them, not long after discovering Phil had a small piece of the TARDIS in her had to crash land somewhere. That somewhere was back home for her, the reason for needing to crash land was that the TARDIS decided to have a slight freak out moment and go between working perfectly fine to almost stopping and making them fall through the vortex.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Well," Doctor said while picking up the cup, "It's a good tea, you make very good tea Phil."
"I do try."
He grinned and then looked up at the strawberry blond woman who suddenly appeared beside Phil, "Stop chatting with the customers whether or not they're your boyfriend."
"Pfft," Phil dragged herself from the chair and slouched back to the counter, "Fine I shall talk from here." She said while Jo rolled her eyes and walked away, Phil frowned and watched her go while Doctor watched the two of them while still happily drinking his tea.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked after Jo had disappeared into the kitchen again, "Hey! Stop glaring."
"I am not glaring." Phil walked away from the counter and sat back down opposite to him. "You never finished telling me what was wrong with her."
"Oh yeah I got distracted by tea," putting the cup down he looked at her. "She needs to adapt is all."
"Right."
"You try giving someone energy and then-" Doctor stopped talking when Phil raised an eyebrow at him. "You two share the same pain." He sighed and leaned back against the chair, "So! Working...how long for? Not eight hours like sleep?"
"Hah! No way am I staying here for eight hours!"
"Good! Because I don't know what else to do around here." Doctor admitted while Jo reappeared and gave Phil a look.
"You know she's been here for like...a week if that."
"Your point?"
"I've been here for a year how come she can boss me around?"
"Because she's older than you."
"You're older than me and you don't boss me around."
"Phil?"
"Yup?"
"Get back to work."
"Oh alright," she sighed and shuffled off to the counter again and disappeared through the door to the kitchen. Doctor laughed slightly to himself and finished his tea while watching the drizzle outside the window.
"Are you staying for dinner?"
"No."
"Right see ya then," Nick walked away from the front door as Phil and Doctor walked in, "Sure I can't bribe you to stay?"
"No."
"You're so blunt! Jo been annoying you again?" Nick asked while Phil collapsed and curled up on the sofa, "Take the silence as a yes. So! Happy time travellers where are you off to first?"
"I asked her and she didn't know."
"Surprise her, women like being surprised." Nick said while Doctor looked at him thinking over his words. Phil sat up and threw a pillow at the Trions head, "Do not listen to that man." Phil jumped up and hugged him, "See you soon."
"You better be back for Christmas, both of you."
"Christmas...all my Christmases are so eventful." Doctor said thoughtfully, Phil looked at him and held a hand up. "Yes Phil?"
"Can we avoid London? London has not had a good past with Christmas."
"I only asked you two to come back for Christmas I didn't mean for a whole conversation to crop up, shoo! You two have places to go." Nick waved his hands at them, saluting him and walking back out Phil and Doctor walked down the street to where the TARDIS was sitting silent.
The two of them had been in Cornwall for a few weeks after the Darkness business had finished. Doctor had interrogated Nick over him being at Arcturus and why he never told him he'd be there, Nick had laughed at his seriousness but explained that he never told him because then the shadows would know. Nick knew Doctor wouldn't be able to resist blurting out on there demise, Phil held out her hands and clicked her fingers the TARDIS doors opened.
"Do I even want to know how you know that that happens when you click your fingers?"
"A woman told you, and you didn't believe her." Phil said, "I've got to get used to the random information that she knows."
"As well as the memories? How's the head?"
"Still hurting." Phil admitted and walked into the police box, he followed after her and shut the door. "But at least now I remember most of my life."
"The memories the Fendahl wiped will never return sorry Phil." Doctor patted her on the shoulder as he passed her and draped his jacket on the railing. "Sernorious!"
"Sernorious?" Phil said slowly repeating the word to get it right, Doctor nodded quickly and ran around the console flipping switches and pushed keys as he went.
