Chapter 1: Gym or Mall?
The TARDIS shook and they all hung on the edge of the console.
"What's happening?" Blaine yelled over the sound of the TARDIS and around to the other side with the Doctor.
"We're traveling through time… possibly space!" he said excitedly.
"What! I thought we were sticking to Earth for now!"
"I can't hear you!" the doctor replied.
As suddenly as it started, it stopped. The Doctor smiled and stood up.
"Alright, Allons-y! This is rather exciting!" he exclaimed and began to walk to the door.
"Doctor!" Kurt yelled.
"What? What's the matter?" He asked quickly.
"Where are we? We're just going to go out there?"
"Yeah, that's the idea."
"Sounds reasonable to me, Kurt," Blaine replied, "this is the Doctor. What danger could we possibly be in?"
"I like your way of thinking!" the Doctor exclaimed and ran out the door.
He didn't have it in him to tell the boy that they were probably in a lot of trouble. They probably, most definitely, were going to be in some kind of trouble.
With a smile, Blaine ran after him and out the door. Kurt sighed, took a breath and went out. It was exhausting to be with the Doctor.
He walked out and was surprised by what he saw. They were in the middle of a gym. Blaine had won this time.
At first glance, it seemed like any kind of gym. It had a variety of machines and weights, treadmills and elliptical. There were only a few people who were doing things in there. There was a woman on a treadmill. She had a smile on her face and she seemed to not notice the three of us in there. The Doctor was in front of her, trying to get her attention.
"Well, this is strange."
"Doctor, I have a question…" Blaine said.
"What?"
"This is the gym I always go to. So, can I check for my stuff?"
"Really? Interesting…" the Doctor trailed off, "Is it really the same?"
"Well, it looks kind of modern. But, other than that, it looks fine."
Blaine noticed a plaque on the wall near a message board.
"Umm… Doctor, this isn't right. This isn't called Anderson Health Clinic. It's just the Davis Country Club."
"Hmm… even more interesting," he inspected the newspaper clippings on the board, "Ahh, yep, most of these are 2025, looks to me, Blaine Anderson, like you might own a gym."
Blaine tried to get a glimpse of the clippings. The Doctor blocked him.
"Nope, can't let you see your own future. It would rip a hole in the fabric of time and space. We can't have that."
"Fine, let's just get my stuff, then."
We followed Blaine to the locker room. He knew his way well and we passed more rooms with more people that didn't notice us. They each had a vacant look about them and they seemed almost robotic. Kurt tensed at these people. They were a reminder of the robots they had just left.
Blaine reached his locker and fingered the lock.
"Doctor… I don't have my key with me."
The Doctor rolled his eyes, "Let me handle it," he replied.
He took out his sonic screwdriver from his left pocket and aimed it at the lock. The familiar vibrating sound of the screwdriver rang out and the lock popped open.
Blaine took the Doctor's place and opened the door. There was a duffel bag and a note inside.
Blaine took the duffel bag out and put it around his shoulder. He opened the note. He read it and dropped it to the ground. The Doctor and Kurt looked to what the note said:
It's future Blaine. I've put things in the duffel bag for you. Now, RUN! They're coming for you.
The Doctor picked the note up and inspected it.
He put the screwdriver to it and watched as new words appear.
Hello Doctor! Basically… run! They're coming for you. The Doctor
Oh… and talk to the girl in the gym. She should be awake now.
"Awake?" the doctor asked aloud.
There was one more line at the end:
It's ok. She forgives you.
"Who forgives me?" he wondered aloud.
Images of Rose flashed through his mind again. It always came back to her.
He dropped the note and ran out the door.
Blaine and Kurt followed close behind. They bounded down the halls and past the miscellaneous rooms. And they found the girl, still on the treadmill.
This time, she was crying. She was frantically looking around the room.
"Help me! Help me, please," she cried out.
"What's going on here?" the Doctor asked.
"I can't stop. I can't ever stop. Please, save the others. They're not doomed yet," she pleaded.
"How long have you been going?" the Doctor asked seriously.
"For one year."
"I'm sorry. Is there anything else we should know?"
"Yes, very few people come here anymore, so they'll be looking for you. They know you're here. You need to get out. Who are you by the way?"
"I'm the Doctor. These are my… friends. I know who did this to you, and I'm going to stop them."
"Give them hell, Doctor."
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, can I help you in anyway?"
"I don't think so. But, if you could put me out of my misery, I'd appreciate it."
He took his sonic screwdriver out and looked at her.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
She nodded with a sad smile. She was still going on the treadmill and she looked thrilled to finally have the opportunity to go. Blaine finally took notice of her legs. They were deformed. They looked anything but muscular. They were quite literally bone. Her arms and face seemed to be the only thing about her that was even seemingly normal. He looked at the treadmill settings. It was set to 8.0 and she had ran 70,080 miles.
The Doctor pointed his screwdriver out of here and the life went out of her eyes. Her head slumped forward, but the rest of her body kept going. Kurt gasped and grabbed Blaine.
"I'm so sorry…" the Doctor trailed off.
"Doctor, why is she still going?" Kurt stammered.
"She's dead. But, her body will keep going on forever," he replied simply, "unless we stop them."
With a heavy sigh, he went back to the hallway.
"Doctor, how do you know who's doing this?" Blaine asked.
"We met when I was a much younger man," he said simply and began to walk faster. He knew where he was going and he wasn't going to stop until he got there.
