I forgot to write a disclaimer the last time but here it is: I don't own Doctor who the only thing I own is my OC Lilo.
"I'll be there in five minutes" the napping Lilo heard from a distance. At the sound he was pulled off his sleep. He had absolutely no idea how long he'd been asleep it could have been anything from five minutes to three hours. He really doubted that it was the later though. Didn't really feel like he'd been asleep for several hours. When Tar had left earlier he felt really out of place, like he didn't belong. He felt like he'd broken in to someone's home so he was a bit uncomfortable. He can't say it helped when he heard someone arrive in a room not too far from his position.
However, he was a rather curious dog so he couldn't resist go to sit by the door and listen to whomever it was that showed up. He could clearly hear a man's voice, it wasn't really deep, but deep enough to know that it was a man. He could also hear a woman's voice. Talking happily without know they had a foreign listener nearby. After awhile, the ship started to shake and Lilo freaked out. He quickly run over to a tree and hid under it. Some might say that it was his instincts kicking in. something Lilo noticed was that while the room was shaking the waterfall seemed just fine. The water was still falling in a straight line. It made him question his sanity, once again. After a while the shaking stopped and he must have fallen asleep.
While he was waiting for Tar he ate a good meal, he didn't want to waste time eating when Tar finally showed up. "I'll be right there, just working on that body thingy" he heard Tar say from a distance. Not to long after he heard; "aaaaand here we go" before a flash of gold appeared and the little girl showed up. "Hi Lilo" she said. Lilo wagged with his tail and ran over to her. She giggled like a child would, seeing a dog. Well, that was probably because she was a child seeing a dog. "So, I heard you calling me Tar" she said after awhile. Lilo looked down guiltily, he knew he probably shouldn't have done that. "No, don't do that. I like it, it's cute" She smiled. He started wagging his tail, happy for her approval of the name.
It didn't take long before they went out of the little paradise they were in and found themselves wandering aimlessly down the halls. Lilo couldn't help but think about how Tar looked. She said she had to make a body because she was in fact the box around them. Why did she choose the form of a little girl with short hair pulled up in pigtails and a blue dress fitted in the waist, completely white leggings? Not that she didn't look adorable, because she sure did. The freckles helped too. Moreover, why did she choose a human form for all he knew she could look like an elephant or a cat, so why human?
Tar just chuckled. "They say that a dog is a man's best friend, and I got hands which means I can cuddled and I rather like the freckles" she rambled. However, the part that Lilo heard was best friend. He thought that Tar was a sweet girl and considered them friends, but he didn't know that Tar considered them best friends, but that only made him happy. Not only did he find his first friend but a best friend too.
"Hah, here it is." Tar suddenly exclaimed stopping in front of a door. He jumped at the sudden outburst and she started laughing. The excitement was radiating of Lilo and there was a shine in his eyes, showing just the curious little dog he was. She slowly opened the door, it creaked but that just made Lilo more excited. Inside there was another room of wonders. The ground was made of normal soil, well not quite normal, but pretty normal. There was not any vegetation at all. At least as far as they could see. The gorgeous thing in this room was the sky. It had the most amazing colours, the base colour was a deep blue there was a swirl of pink slowly toning over to a purple. There was also yellow mixed in and red. Together they made up cloud like shapes, inside the clouds were stars.
"It's called a nebula, I think they are really beautiful. My thief was on a planet, it was called Nebulus because of the nebula. I created a copy, so here it is. Isn't it gorgeous?" she said the colours of the nebula lightning up her face, making her super sweet. She was smiling and looking up at the stars imbedded in the Nebula. It was unbelievably gorgeous; he could fully understand why someone would live underneath such a beautiful sky. It was really breath-taking. "You know, when I talk and you think. It might be hard for you. What you can do is just think about what you would have said if you could talk." She said still looking at the sky. Lilo pondered over the idea for a moment before he thought; like this? She giggled and responded "Yes, exactly like that"
It didn't take long before the both of them were seated on the soil, just watching the nebula. "There are so many places I want to take you" said Tar. I am in. Wherever you want to go. It hadn't taken long before Lilo had got the hang of the whole speaking while thinking thing. "Yeah, well my thief doesn't exactly know that you here and I am his, if you know what mean?" Lilo's eyebrows furrowed. You mean that you are his property and he decides what you have to do all the time, like a pet? "When you say it like that it sounds really bad. That wasn't what I mean. Before he showed up I was in a museum and I was so boring being there all day and all night. When you could be out there traveling the universe and seeing all the wonders that are out here. So one day there was a rumour going around the TARDISes about a madman planning to steal a TARDIS. So I unlocked my door and we've been traveling ever since." She finished off.
Wow. That was all Lilo could say, he never knew of the wonders of the universe until he met Tar so he didn't have any great wishes to travel among the stars. However with Tar, she knew about every single little star civilisation and she was stuck in a museum, he could understand why she felt the urge to leave.
You know, if you see it like that, maybe he sees it the same way. She pondered about that for second before she sighed, shaking her head. "I've never told him that, ever since we left our home planet I've been working on a way to channel speech, not just an interface but a way to talk to my thief. It was just a few hours before I met you that I finally figured it out" she smiled sadly. Lilo could understand what she was saying, well some of it. When he made a sudden realization. Wait, do you mean that you've been a TARDIS your whole life and you have never communicated to anyone, ever? He was staring up at her with large eyes. Her eyes was getting teary as she nodded. That must have been horrible, for how long? He said the dreaded question. She actually had to think about that, she couldn't remember how old she was, her thief was a little over 900 years but she was already a museums piece when he was young maybe 2000 years, maybe 5000 years. She just stared horrified straight ahead. Her eyes was no longer at the Nebula but at the grey lifeless soil.
Lilo knew immediately that he had hit a sore subject so he ragged his mind after a solution to her sadness. Sadness didn't look right on her face and he wanted her to be happy again. There is a thing that humans do when they are upset. Maybe you should try it out, do you have a kitchen around here some place. She quickly got up and nodded, thankful for the distraction. They were out in the halls again, this time the mood wasn't as cheery as it had been earlier. The corridors shifted as they walked, her eyes would flash gold every time something shifted. Wow that's amazing, that's like a super power? Does that make you a super hero? I already have a superhero name for you, Golden Tar or Super Tar? That brightened up Tar's mood. She giggled and ruffled his head.
"I like Golden Tar best" she giggled. Golden Tar it is. He confirmed. They made a stop in front of the kitchen. Lilo led the way till the freezer, he recognized from his human home. I'm sure there's something in here called ice cream. He thought, tail wagging. "That's the best idea I've heard in ages. My thief always talks to Rose about how good bananas tastes while she's always eating ice cream. Oh, we have to try bananas too." She said almost jumping up and down. She was going to eat proper food for the first time in her long life. Not just Arton energy and Rift energy. In the freezer she found a bucket of chocolate ice cream to herself and a bucket of vanilla ice cream to Lilo. "Oh my stars, that is really good." she said after taking her first bite. "I can see why Rose likes this." She mumbled with her mouth full of ice cream. Lilo was licking his ice cream too, it was rather delicious. They ate half a box each and then Tar went to find a banana, dying to try it out. She broke it in half and gave the other half to Lilo. He sniffed it and made crunchy face. "Oh, come on you have to try" she exclaimed. He just shook his head. "Not even a tiny piece?!" he shook his head, he was not going anywhere near that disgusting thing.
"Oh, suit yourself," she said taking a bite. Her mouth went upwards immediately into a smile. "What are you taking about, this is delicious!" she exclaimed. Well, I certainly don't hink so, it smelled horrible I can only imagine how horrible it most taste. I trust my senses on this one Tar. She shook and ate the rest of the banana. Neither of them noticed that the other two inhabitants of the box had arrived. Tar was too busy eating and tasting all the food, and Lilo had no way of knowing when they would arrive.
It was only when Tar heard footsteps outside the kitchen, they noticed. Her eyes went wide as the size of planets and her face was one of horror. Lilo had no idea what was happening, one moment they are happy eating human, the other Tar is visibly shaking, seemingly frightened. What was there to be frightened of in this lovely little box, but that was when he heard the footsteps too and he started to freak out too. Tar, you're not ready for this yet. We need someplace to hide he quickly thought, trying to responsible.
Tar snapped her fingers and a closet appeared in a flash of gold in the corner of the room. They hurried into the box and closed the door quickly behind them, right before someone walked into the room. "I was sure I heard something, maybe it was just a draught, but where would a draught come from. Maybe the TARDIS has developed a fault and there's suddenly a draught" the man rambled. Lilo assumed this was the man Tar referred to as her Thief. "Doctor, you are rambling" a female voice said, Lilo identified her as Rose.
"You go and find out if she's developed a fault and I'll get some rest. Don't ruin too much while I'm gone though" Rose said leaving the room. "yeah, it probably nothing he muttered leaving the room. Only to freeze when Tar sneezed. Lilo was inwardly face palming while Tar did it physically while muttering "Shit, I guess we're screwed now." No shit, why did you have to sneeze? "Well, it's my fault its your fur that got into my nose." She retorted.
From the other side of the closet the Doctor only heard one side of the conversation that made it kind of weird. He furrowed his brows while looking strangely at the closet he'd never seen before. "What do you mean I shouldn't have breathed in your fur, have you even noticed that we're in a closet?" she harshly whispered. A moment later she sighed and said. "Yeah I could do that, but that would only make the situation more difficult." The Doctor chose that moment to open up the closet. In front of him was a little girl in pigtails and a dog with messy brown fur.
The girl looked up at him suddenly wishing she hadn't chosen a little girl's body, but it was too late to change that now. She chuckled nervously and said; "Hi Doctor"
Hihi. I had to leave it like that :) just to a little bit evil. I wanted to say thank you for reading this far, it really means the world to me. Originally I just wrote a one-shot but I loved the response so I wrote I bit more. I have exams coming up so don't expect regular updates. Sorry for typos and grammar errors. Till the next time :)
