Hi!
I don't own Doctor Who, River and 11 are my OTP, love them!
Chapters will be coming a lot more frequently from now on, I promise!
Enjoy and review please:)
"River?" The Doctor whispered, "A word?"
He indicated for her to follow him down to underneath the console, leaving the girl above so that they could talk alone.
The Doctor just looked at River, all serious and dark,
"Oh don't look at me like that!" River whispered angrily, "I don't know anything about her!"
"Don't lie to me River. Is that you up there?"
"What?! Have you lost your mind? How can she be me? You've seen all of my regenerations, have you not? And in case you have forgotten I used all of my remaining regenerations saving you!"
"Well,I don't know, there's a billion, million, trillion possibilites out there in that endless universe and she certainly looks like you! She's all curley hair and big smiles and wide eyes and she certainly acts like you, all cocky and self assured and and... and fore-knowing!"
"Acts like me?! She acts much more like you! She's over-confident, reckless and never once stops still! Plus the fact that she's the double of you! Tall and gangly and the eyes! You'd be lying if you said you hadn't noticed them!"
"I don't know what you mean." The Doctor shot back, jutting his chin out,
"You don't fool me that easily sweetie, she has your eyes down to a tea."
"There your shape!"
"They are not! And besides," River dropped her voice to a whisper, "I think I've figured out what she is."
The Doctor moved in closer,
"Go on." He murmured ringing his hands like a child about to be told a secret,
"I think that she's a future regeneration of you."
"Wrong!" The girl shouted as she dropped down the stairs to where River and The Doctor were whispering, "Sorry to burst your bubble but I'm not him and I'm not you either."
"Well who are you then?!" The Doctor demanded,
The girl rolled her eyes- looking remarkably like River as she did so- so much so that it almost scared The Doctor,
"We've been through this! I'm from your future, I can't tell you who I am! It would create this massive paradox and I'm not aloud, under any circumstances, to create a paradox until I'm at least 18."
The Doctor smirked, thinking of all the paradox's he had created and thinking that that was a very good rule to enforce upon a child,
"Says who?" He asked, the girl just laughed and made her way back up the stairs. The Doctor and River, bothing mad with interest, followed her like lost puppies.
The girl was sat, crossed legged, on the chair facing the console. River and The Doctor stood facing her, both arms crossed like a team of dectectives about to interrogate a suspect, the girl raised her hands,
"It wasn't me, it was the maid" She said grinning.
The Doctor and River remained straight faced.
"Okay, this is how it's going to work," Said The Doctor, "We ask questions and you answer them as best you can. Ready?"
"Number one," Said River, "What's your name?"
The girl seemed to deliberate for a long moment, finally she said-
"Mia."
"Full name." River enforced, the girl just shook her head,
"I can't answer that."
"Number two," Said The Doctor, "Who are you to us?"
"I really can't answer that either."
"Well are you close to us?" River asked
The girl laughed and answered,
"Very."
"Okay, so your not plotting to kill us?"
The girl laughed again,
"No. If I killed you it would probably be more catastrophic for me than it would be for either of you."
"That doesn't make any sense." River frowned, the girl smiled,
"Good. You really can't know who I am."
"Who's told you all of these rules?" The Doctor asked, squinting his eyes, thinking hard.
The girl stopped smiling, bit her lip and stared at the floor, very slowly she said-
"Fore knowledge is a very dangerous thing. It shouldn't be messed with."
"But what I don't understand," The Doctor shouted, "Is what fore knowledge you think we might have because you haven't told us anything! Just that at some point in the future, we want to protect you so much that we link you to us forever! But we don't know a thing about you!"
"Not yet you don't! It's too early in your time streams for even the idea of me!" The girl took a deep breath, "Look, I'm in enough trouble as it is so please, please just drop me off and forget all about me."
Right then the TARDIS shook and there was ear splitting bang and a huge boom,
River and the girl both rolled there eyes and at the exact same time said, "Here we go."
River looked at the girl, both shocked and a little scared at how exactly alike they sounded, how they had both said the exact same thing at the exact same time in the exact same voice...
The girl, however, didn't seem to notice, as if that kind of thing happened all the time and shot up to help The Doctor with his out of control TARDIS,
"You know that this is a product of always leaving the stabilisers on!" The girl shouted, whizzing around the consolle flicking switches and pulling levers and pressing buttons with The Doctor as the TARDIS continued to shake and crash and bang.
"What're you doing?!" The Doctor shouted, watching the girl with wide eyes as she manoeuvred her way around the console, obviously comfortable with flying the TARDIS
"Helping! Now shut up and turn off the gamma sheilds, we're only in a level 3 galaxy, there just using up fuel and wasting our time!"
"The gamma sheilds aren't on!"
The girl rolled her eyes again and stretched to point at a big gold lever, "Yes they are! The gamma lever is UP which means the gamma sheilds are ON!"
"Right, well," The Doctor shot at her, pulling the lever down, "There's nothing wrong in being over cautious!"
The girl laughed, throwing her head back as she twisted a knob and flicked a switch.
All this time River had been watching.
The way the girl looked and acted and spoke was all to familiar and as she whirled around the TARDIS with The Doctor she just looked the absolute double of him, only smaller and a girl. And she could fly the TARDIS and in the future they both go to the most extreme length to protect her and she had said instinct...
Right then the penny dropped for River.
