Original A/N: Hey guys it's charmedchica234 and I know what you're thinking. Why is she starting a new fic when she's got others she still needs to finish? And I know I shouldn't be but I just couldn't resist. I got an idea and just had to. Also on another note it has been brought to my attention that I probably need a beta. If any one would be willing to beta for me let me know! Any way on with chapter two!

New A/N: Hopefully some of you have noticed that my chapters are changing a bit. That's because my wonderful Beta has also been going though the chapters that were already up and doing the Beta thing. It's wonderful! Carry on then!

The Time Guardian

Chapter Two: Mae

"Okay… Mae." The Doctor kneels down by the waking Amy who is rubbing her neck and coughing. "You froze Amy," he states.

Mae nods shyly. "You must be a powerful being," she says. After a second, she adds, "And a good being at that."

"But Amy froze. Does you think she's evil?" Mae's eyes widen, embarrassed.

"Oh no! I only meant that she's human… that's all."

"And you aren't? Are you a witch, then?"

Mae bites her lip. "No… I don't think so."

"Then…"

"I don't really know." She shakes her head. "But I swear I'm not a witch. I think I'd know if I'd sold my soul to the devil."

The Doctor shrugs.

"Well at least I think I'd remember right?"

"What's happened?" Amy asks, finally aware.

The Doctor looks down at her, then he carefully helps her sit up against a boulder.

"Well?" she asks.

"Well, we were hanging" The Doctor points to the great Oak tree, "On that tree and Mae here saved us," he looks Mae up and down. "Though I'm still not quite sure how…" He gets closer to Mae in his usual manner and Mae shrinks away, uncomfortable.

"Oh thanks then," Amy tells Mae before addressing the Doctor. "I told you Salem was a bad idea." She hits him on the arm playfully.

"Look, you two…" The Doctor is still examining Mae. "er…" She gives him a look.

"Oh right sorry." The Doctor backs off.

"Thanks" Mae says and takes a few breaths before beginning again. "I think it would be best if you two came with me to my house."

A look of horror spreads across The Doctor's face. "What about the TARDIS?"

Amy sighs.

"The blue box?" Mae asks.

"Yes the blue box! It's my blue box and I rather like it. I quite like my blue box."

"It's not safe to go back there right now. When they notice you're gone that's the first place they'll look."

"But what if they try to… Oh, I don't know… Destroy the foreign object?" the Doctor looks worried.

"They shouldn't. They won't. At least I don't think they will…" Mae says, biting her lip. She quickly changes the subject. "So I already know she's Amy, but… who are you?"

"The Doctor."

Mae tilts her head. "You don't look like a doctor. Doctor what…?"

"No. The Doctor. Just the Doctor." Her brow furrows. "I am the Doctor. That's what to call me. Doctor."

"Okay er… Doctor… You and Amy should follow me back to my house, then,"

Amy gets up to follow, but The Doctor stands in place patting down his pockets.

"Did you lose something?" Amy asks, brushing dirt off her shorts.

"We need to get her into some different clothes. She's practically naked." Mae worries, shaking her head. Amy looks down at herself, pouting, and the Doctor nods, not really paying attention. "Er… Doctor?"

"I had it, it never leaves my pocket for more than… did they take it? No, I had it…"

Amy and Mae exchange looks.

"Ah ha!"

"What is that?" Mae raises her eyebrow.

"Sonic screwdriver."

Mae looks about to say something, but just lets it go.

"What do you mean, I'm naked?" Amy pulls on her shorts.

"Well if we could go back to the TARDIS we could fix that. There's a whole wardrobe in there…"

"Please Doctor, she can borrow something of mine. We can't go back…"

"But…"

"Just drop it we can't go back and that's that."

"Fine," He gives his best 'not happy' look, "So, to your house then?"

"How do I look then? Come on, be honest." Amy stands before The Doctor in full pilgrim get up. He smirks a bit and Amy rolls her eyes.

"It's just odd to see you so… covered." He waves one of the skirts, playing with it in his hand, "But it's not necessarily bad."

"I look awful," the Doctor shakes his head in reassurance.

"No, I do. I look awful, and I'm burning up in here." Amy pulls at her collar and looks at it in a mirror as though steam is about to come out. "Isn't it summer? It looks and feels like summer."

"It is summer. That's the summer attire. You'd be wearing more petticoats in winter and fall," the Doctor laughs.

"Not helping," she sighs.

From behind her Mae comes in, covering Amy's head with a scarf.

"What are you doing?"

"Covering your hair. It's orange."

Amy nods. "Yeah, I know it's orange. I know the color of my own hair."

"I'm sorry, it's just that… well, for a while, any one ginger was being suspected of witchcraft."

Amy purses her lips.

"I know it's not fair, but it's best, really, if we cover your hair. Plus, you might be the only ginger in miles of this place. They'd recognize you instantly."

"Fine."

"Oh, and I brought these for you, Doctor." Mae hands the Doctor a bundle of male clothing.

"Where'd you get these? Do you have a husband?"

Mae shakes her head.

"Then why…?"

"I don't know. They were always just here, and I never got rid of them. They look about your size, maybe a bit baggy, but your clothing is too futuristic."

The Doctor looks about to argue, but just starts changing.

Mae's stares shock because he hasn't left the room. "Is he doing that in here? In front of us."

Amy laughs lightly, to Mae's alarm.

"You get used to it." Amy smiles, but her words do nothing to calm Mae, who hurriedly leaves the room.

"Mae, you can come back now." Amy sighs when the Doctor is done.

Mae peeks around the corner of a door.

"He's fully clothed,"

Bashfully, Mae comes in to join the two.
