The Doctor's moon

Chapter 1

London was being gifted by a bright summer's day. The streets were quiet with families enjoying the school holidays. Trees swayed gently in the breeze and only a couple of clouds floated across the blue sky. However, this peace was about to be disturbed by the arrival of a regular visitor. The streets echoed to a the distant sound of a whirring siren. As the noise got louder, the shape a blue phone box started to appear. Soon the shape became the soild form of the Tardis. The blue door opened and a disorientated Doctor walked out. As ever, he wore his pinstripe suit, trench coat and trainers but his hair was more unruly then ever. It had been quite a bumpy ride in the TARDIS and the doctor had almost forgotten where he was. He looked around for a few moments then his grin spread across his face. He was on Earth again. He looked around again to check that no one had seen the TARDIS land. Everything seemed ok until he saw a young woman starring at him and the police box behind him. She didn't seemed shock, surprised or scared. She just starred. The Doctor did notice that she was very pretty. She was at least the same age as Rose, maybe older, and she had golden brown hair with blue eyes and her clothes were a little smarter.

Luna Edwards had been walking home from work when she heard the siren. At first, she thought it was a car alarm. But when it got louder, she stopped to find the origin of the noise. That's when the tall blue box caught her attention. She couldn't believe her eyes. She wasn't sure what to do then the man stepped out. Her heartbeat increased. The man was just as perculiar as the box and quite handsome. This seemed like a dream.

After starring at them for a few seconds, she turned and started walking away. Anxious, the Doctor ran after her but she saw him running and set off too. She was a little faster than him and lost him easily by ducking down an alleyway. She found her way out leaving the Doctor lost and confused. His two hearts were pounding against his chest from both running and the thought of that girl telling the world about what she saw. He sighed defeated and headed back to the TARDIS. Meanwhile Luna had stopped to catch her breath. That man was clearly an alien and the blue box was his ship. She had seen and heard about previous encounters of aliens reaching Earth. One of her neighbours was killed by the marching metal men, another had been amonst those stood on top of a tower block at Christmas and her best mate was attacked by the shop dummies that came to live. But this alien didn't seem to be too dangerous. But for now she had to get home.

Luna lived on a nice little street in a small semi-detached with her mother. It was just the two of them, Luna's father had been killed when she was a baby. Luna was old enough to have her own home but couldn't bring herself to leave her mother on her own. She got home and went upstairs to her bed room to get changed. She got changed out of her white blouse, black trousers and smart shoes and in to a pair of jeans, t-shirt and trainers. Her mind wondered to the man and the blue box. Who was he?

"Luna," A woman's voice called, "Are you home?"

She snapped out of her daydream as her mother had just returned home from shopping.

"Yeah, I'm just upstairs." Luna called back.

Victoria Edwards was a dignified, calm and elegant woman. She sometimes seemed cold but really, she just wanted to protect her daughter.

After dinner and with her phone and keys in her pockets, Luna went to where she saw the police box appear. She got there and found a close hiding place so that she could wait for the man to leave it. She was just in time to see the door of the police box open. She hid behind a thick bush and watched the mystery man walk out and head towards the main town centre. Once the coast was clear, she went over to the police box and slowly opened the door. She was in awe of what she found. A huge spaceship, control buttons beeping softly and a gentle humming sound filling her ears was in front of her. A large control centre in the middle, a staircase not too far away and high chairs position in varies places. Luna's immense curiosity took over and she started examining everything. The entire time she kept her hands behind her back. There were too many buttons and levers that were tempting at her to push or pull them. She had been told off by her mother before for pushing strange buttons.

Luna was an intelligent and curious girl and loved learning anything and everything she could. Reading, exploring and science were some of her favourite things when she was younger. She was still curious now but it was more controlled. But now she was inside this incredible piece of science, she wanted to let go of all control and find out how it worked. But her mum's advice rang in her head.

"Never touch a button if you don't know what it does." She said to her.

Still curious, Luna decided that it was best she look somewhere else in the spaceship. But suddenly:

"You just couldn't keep away could you?" She heard a voice.

She turned around and came face to face with the man from earlier. He at first seemed serious but then he smiled. She didn't know what to do so just freeze. He walked over to her and held out his hand.

"I'm The Doctor." He introduced himself.

Luna took his hand and shook it.

"Luna Edwards, pleased to meet you." She replied.

"I thought you'd have brought the police here after this morning."

"Tell the police what I saw? Are you mad? No sane person would believe me even if I told them."

The Doctor smiled wider. She was wise that was for sure, as well as sweet. She then asked about the TARDIS. Proudly, the Doctor told her what it was and she was in awe already. He also told her the fact that he was a time lord and what that meant. To prove he wasn't lying, he let her listen to his two hearts beating together using the stethoscope.

Luna would have stayed listening to the Doctor all day but she needed to return home to get ready for work in the morning. He showed her out and she waved. Impressed by her curiosity, The Doctor watched Luna walk away. He had seen that she was someone who liked learning and was quite clever and was impressed. Luna returned home and bathed. She went to bed, and while she read, she thought about the Doctor and the TARDIS. The idea of travelling to any planet and any time was overwhelming to her but it was the sort of experience a busy mind like hers needed. Maybe she could stop by tomorrow.

Across the street from where Luna lived landed a pyramid shaped spaceship. Once stationary, a masked person looked out then disappeared inside. The ship then vanished out of sight.
