Authors Note: Umm… So hey! This is my first ever story and so if its rubbish I am really sorry! I always have stories zooming round my head so I thought, might as well put some on here =P.
I have nooo idea where this story is even headed so any ideas/comments would be sooo greatly appreciated! I don't even know if I want to make it into a romance or, to be honest, what species my OC is! Terrible I know… So know you know how badly I need help reviews would be a Godsend! I think that's it for now so I hope you enjoy it! =)
Oh and sadly i don't own Doctor Who or any of its characters =(. I do own Sarah, whatever storylines I come up with and a mini fridge though! =) It's blue and very chilly =D
Scarlet heels in her right hand, the woman ran as fast as her athletic legs could carry her, grinning and laughing as her bare feet slapped the Cardiff Centre cement. The events of the previous hour replayed in her head and she couldn't help but chuckle louder, regardless of the nervous looking locals surrounding her. Her happiness was short lived, however, as the very person she was trying to distance herself from rounded the corner and spotted her in an instant. She turned around and smirked, pumping her arms and legs harder. She had never been one to pass up a challenge.
The Doctor leaned casually against the black railing, looking up slightly at the magnificent water feature and licking absentmindedly at a 99, which had, oddly to him, cost £1.29. "I'll never truly understand you humans," he directed his pricing confusion at no one in particular and so Amy, his brilliant and completely bored companion chose to ignore it. She held her own ice cream lightly in her hand and looked up at the cloudy weather. Not nearly sunny enough for ice cream she thought to herself, sighing.
"So, why are we here again?" Her strong accent questioned the tall and peculiarly dressed man to her right.
"We've been through this," The Doctor sighed, taking his eyes momentarily from a passing couple arguing about whether or not 'jeggins' were suitable to wear to a job interview to look at Amy. "There has been some odd rift activity for the past few months and we need to make sure that… well that..." He struggled to find the right words.
"That there aren't any enormous, bug eyed, long clawed green monsters roaming the streets of Cardiff?" She finished for him warily, thinking that this whole trip was unnecessary and about how much she would rather be in Rome or Paris. Even London wouldn't go down badly-the Tardis did have its own huge closet but you can't beat a bit of retail therapy every now and then…
The Doctor interrupted her train of thought by adding, "Clearly you've never met the Slitheen." He smiled fondly at the memory of beating the Slitheen at 10 Downing Street and then again in the very city they were visiting.
It was in that moment that he noticed a young woman, of approximately 21 years of age, round a corner to his left and sprint in his direction. The woman had a fitted red dress on and was clutching a pair of awfully high heels in her hand. She was grinning from ear to ear and, brushing her long, brown hair out of her face, she turned to see a burly looking security guard, dressed entirely in black, follow some distance behind her. The thick set man ran at a surprising speed but the woman he was pursuing didn't seem at all fazed by him. As she neared, the Doctor noticed a gleam in her eye-she was enjoying it! He began to smile to himself, recognising the love of adventure and danger that covered the girls face. The girl in red noticed Amy and the Doctor's following gaze and as she neared them she slowed to a stop, bending over double and gasping for air. "I'm getting too old for this…" The girl complained, finally standing upright and beaming at the pair in front of her.
The Doctor beamed back while Amy just stood looking bemused, unsure of how to react to her comment and glancing at one and then the other cautiously.
"I'm Sarah," The girl in red introduced, swapping the shoes to her left hand and shaking Amy and then the Doctors' hands briefly but forcefully, "you couldn't do me a huge favour and look after these for me could you?"
She thrust the shoes at the Doctor, who had to quickly juggle the heels and his half eaten ice cream to avoid dropping it, and glanced quickly toward the large man bowling towards her. Realising that he was gaining on her fast she turned back to face them. Knowing that a short encounter like this might not be enough to stop the man chasing her she brought the Doctor and Amy into a tight hug and whispered "Sorry about this!" She broke away from the embrace, aimed a look of gratitude towards the time travellers and hoped that the guard was close enough to notice it-it was the only way that her quickly thought out plan would work. She gently planted her lips on the Doctors, holding the side of his face softly with her left hand. Then, suddenly and without warning, she ran off again at the same staggering speed. The Doctors eyebrows disappeared behind his black mop of hair and he looked at Amy, his mouth agape and his eyes slightly glazed over. He barely noticed the man who appeared to have been chasing Sarah stagger slowly to a halt in front of them.
"Do you know her?" He asked, his thick, Welsh accent making it difficult for Amy to understand.
"No, she just came over to us then," Amy replied, looking sideways at the doctor and realising that he still hasn't fully recovered from the kiss.
The man laughed a humourless laugh and shook his head "You don't expect me to believe that do you? She was all over the pair of you!" He said, folding his thick arms across his chest.
The Doctor snapped back to the conversation and he said, "It's true-we don't know her."
The man looked between Amy and the Doctor and scowled viciously at them, "That girl just stole about £40, 000 worth of diamonds, gave you her shoes and ran off and you're expecting me to believe that you have never seen her before until now?"
"Yep, that would be about right. Oh, and about the shoes, they do look awfully uncomfortable to run in, wouldn't you say? That's probably why she asked me to mind them for her." The Doctor looked towards the man with an abnormally large muscle-to-body weight ratio for agreement but when he realised that he wasn't likely to get it he turned his head left to look at Amy. She shrugged lightly.
Getting away from aliens? No Problem.
Finding her way off of a deserted, unknown planet? No sweat!
Being questioned by an obscenely muscled, angry looking security guard for a theft worth of a long while behind bars? This made her a little nervous.
Being on Wanted posters across the Galaxy was all well and good but on Earth and, particularly, in Britain was not something she would enjoy.
"Either you tell me the truth or I'll arrest the pair of you!" The guard said, clearly getting impatient with the fiery red-head and kooky bow-tie wearing man. "I don't have time for this!"
"Ah, you see Amy, classic example of be careful what you wish for; he's not exactly alien but notice the similarities with the Judoon?" The Doctor scanned the security guard nervously, recognising the lack of neck and thick set upper body. Amy frowned.
"Darn," he said to her, realising she had no idea what he was talking about, "wrong companion?"
She nodded lightly and whispered, "So what do we do?"
He turned to face her, grinning widely and simply stated, "We run!"
The Doctor grasped Amy's hand and the two of them took off, leaving the guard to think of a suitable excuse to tell his boss…
Amy slumped down into the captain's seat of the Tardis. She kept thinking of the Doctors shocked face when the girl named Sarah had kissed him and couldn't help but smirk. So it's not just with me he's unable to process affection she thought chuckling. She looked up at said man to see him working busily with a twisting knob and leaver, glancing up every now and then to scan the screen in front of him. He frowned in concentration and shook his head, verbalising his confusion with, "No…"
"Something wrong?" Amy asked, holding her nails up to the light and trying her best to show that she would rather be anywhere else. I don't think he's ever going to realise that Cardiff isn't exactly my first choice of holiday destination.
The Doctor ignored her, or, more likely didn't even notice her efforts, and squinted at the odd symbols on the suspended screen.
"The Tardis is telling me that numerous objects have been flying haphazardly through the rift and yet there are no signals, no sign of any alien matter…" The Doctor was stopped by a sudden beeping and again stared at the monitor. A small red light was flashing on and off and moving steadily. Amy assumed that the monitor was showing a map and she jumped off her seat to go and stand hopefully next to the Doctor.
"So this is good, yes? We get to go and fight some bad guy aliens now?"
The Doctor grinned at her and said, "Not quite a bad guy".
The screen which had once held the picture of an abstract map and the red flashing light now changed to show a crowded town square. Amy recognised it as the area as where she and the Doctor had been standing not long ago. The view of the square zoomed into a crowd of lunch time shoppers and then tracked one particular woman. Her red dress had gone but her hair and face made her easily identifiable. Sarah now wore dark, indigo jeans and a worn, loose fitting leather jacket.
"Seems we've already met one of our alien drop ins!" The Doctor made his way swiftly to the Tardis door followed closely by, for the first time that day, an excited Amy Pond.
Please tell me it wasn't too bad =P. If it was I would love criticism to help me improve as I know that I'm no Shakespeare =P. Oh and if the Doctor and Amy sound too OOC I would love to know as I'm probably making them all unbelievable he hee.
I would also like to say my Geography is atrocious, as is my spelling, and so anything I do wrong i'll apologise for now =P.
I've finally finished my GCSE's (PRAISE THE LORDD) and so i'll have a craazzzy amount of time off and will probably not take to long to update... hopefully...
Anyways thanks so much for reading and I hope that you enjoyed it even just a little bit! =)
