A/N: Sorry, this took waaaaayyy too long than it should have, I did say this was my first fanfic, I'm practically a caveman when it comes to any form of technology. It may be short, but now that I got the hang of it, I'll be able to post these faster.
PS: Just in case anyone actually thought I could own any thing as awesome as BBC's Doctor Who, you amuse me. Literally, if you thought I could own any of this, I would laugh for ten minutes straight before I slapped some sense into you.
Chapter 2:
Alli Rose walked up towards the strange box, feeling a slight humming filling the air and vibrating in her chest. It reminded her of the sensation of a deep drumbeat in a marching band pounding in the air.
She smiled at the feeling and started swaying back and forth humming with the tune in the air. She had an uncanny feeling of someone being in there, like the humming was speaking, so she decided that they must be shy and went up to the door.
She was going to knock when she remembered that it was always polite to bring someone new a gift, so she turned around and went to pick up a few flowers that she felt were the brightest colours and smelled the best. She scourged out across the small meadow plucking up whatever wildflowers she deemed worthy, then felt that something else to go with with the bouquet of dandelions and bluebells couldn't hurt.
"The next best thing to flowers is food I feel." She mumbled to herself in a determined voice and picked some pears and some apples from a nearby tree. She couldn't reach very high to get any cherries, so she settled on what she had.
She placed the bouquet delicately in her bundle of fruit and went back up to the door, she awkwardly reached with her free hand to knock so as not to drop anything. Knock-knock Knock-knock. She looked expectantly at the door, ready for whoever was inside to come out and play as a wide smile took over her face at the possibility of finding a new friend to play with.
On the TARDIS
The two got dressed as they prepared for the adventure they just received from the Doctors new "ANAA" as he referred it to. Then Rose joked about it being "The Emergency Adventure Machine" and he consented to it being called that.
The Doctor energetically bounced around the console saying they were going to go a bit earlier than the disappearance to get a better understanding of what happened before. They were going to park just far enough to not be near any houses or people but still be close to where they needed to go. While he was flipping switches, pushing buttons, toggling toggles and the like, Rose was deep in thought about something and the Doctor took notice.
"What's bothering you?" He asked her, snapping her out of her reverie. She looked at him and contemplated for a moment on how to say it. She shifted in the jumpseat nervously as she thought for a moment.
"Well, what is it we're supposed to do when we, ya know, find her. I thought we weren't supposed to mess with history." Rose dreaded what she thought the response might be, similar to those fixed points in time she thought.
That look that flashed across the Doctors face confirmed her suspicions of what he was going to say, as he finally parked the TARDIS with the resounding gong echoing out of the room. He hesitated a moment before speaking, "Well history can be changed, we-ell, some parts of it. But if it's written down, that makes it nearly a fixed point in time, especially if a time-traveler reads it. Unfortunately, this is one of those stories that will have to follow through with, she was never found." He finished softly, with a sadder tone ringing in his voice.
"So, we can't actually save her. No intervening." Rose said a bit louder than she intended, cutting him off at the end of his sentence. He took great strides across the room to sit by her.
"We-eell, if we find out what happens, we can just take her to a different time line, let her live her life somewhere else, that way it coincides with the story. IF we find out what happens." The Doctor added quickly seeing Rose's hopes rise up.
He only intended to use the machine when Rose was asleep or busy and he didn't have anything else to do. It wouldn't be like all the other adventures they got caught up in and save the world like always, this one was more observatory for the mysterious as well as the depressing.
"This is just strictly observe only." He continued on.
Rose nodded in agreement though she didn't want to see something terrible happen to this Alli Rose without finding some way to save her. Doctor, finding a hint of doubt in her eyes asked, "Are you gonna be okay with this?"
"Of course I'll be fine, 's just a bit of a different adventure that's all." Rose retorted, seeing hesitation in the Doctor's eyes. "Let's go see what happened then, maybe we can help." She said as she got up and walked over to the door.
They both jumped when their was a small knock sounding from the TARDIS doors.
"How is someone out there? I thought we were gonna park far away so no one found us." Rose questioned. The Doctor just grinned wide and said, "Only one way of finding out!" before sprinting to the doors.
Hehehe... get the chapter name now? Chapters will have weird names or terrible puns from now on.
