Megumi and the Doctor

FYI the doctor that Megumi first meets is the Ninth one and takes place a little bit before the revived series. and since they don't say what year it is or how old the characters are i'm pretty much guesssing the age here. so i hope you enjoy.

13 Years earlier

Megumi lay in her bed thinking about the dream she had that night, and how real it was. She dreamt of a blue box flying through space, and the man that was in it who was going to help her with the monster that has been in her closet during the nights. Her parents tell her it's not real, but the presence behind the door feels all too real.

She got out of her bed and walked to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water. She pulled out a little bunk to help her reach the top of the counter. She reaches the cupboard and pulls out a 20 oz. glass, and pours water from the faucet. When it's full to the brim, she turns it off and begins drinking. The she starts hearing a mechanical whooshing sound outside. Megumi looks out the window and is amazed at what it is: A blue box like in her dream.

Megumi walks to the door, hesitates a second, then opens it and walks outside towards the front of the box, or what she assumed was the front. Megumi looked it up feeling her heart beating in her throat, she reaches for the handle before it opens inward and out comes a man.

"Hello There." He greets her. His voice has a noticeable English accent; he wears his hair in a buzz cut, and has on a pair of black trousers, a red shirt and black jacket.

"Are you the one who called me?" he asked.

"I think I did." She responded.

"That is impressive." He tells her. "Not many humans can send me a telepathic message from light-years away." His face becomes more serious. "There must be some very big problem then?"

"Yes. I think there's a monster in my closet." She tells him.

"What's your name?" he asks her.

"Megumi Morisato. What's Yours?"

"I'm The Doctor."

"Doctor who?"

"Just the Doctor; Now can you tell me where you closet monster is? But before that can you give me something to snack on? I haven't eaten all day."

Megumi did, She took him in the house and quietly took him to the kitchen. After he eaten his fill he turned to her. "Why hasn't your family woken up yet?"

"They're very heavy sleepers."

"Very well, it's not very uncommon. Also before we go to your closet monster why don't we play some games? you know to ease the shock.

"Ah you beat me again." The doctor exclaimed in defeat.

"Only for the fifth time." Megumi responded triumphantly.

"you know these last few minutes have been very fun we should get back to why you called me here."

"That's right, I forgot." After putting away the board game Megumi took the doctor to her room.

"It's in there." She told him.

"Alright Megumi, I'll see what it is and get rid of it for you." The Doctor reached in to his pocket and pulled out a metal stick with a blue light at the tip and made a high pitch noise when he aimed it at the closet.

"What's that?" she asked.

"It's called a sonic screwdriver helps me open anything unless it's wood or deadlocked."

"What's deadlocked?"

The Doctor thought about it then said, "in Layman's terms, a lock that is dead and won't work anymore."

"Really?"

"No, buts it's the simplest way I could describe it. All right I got the problem." The doctor puts away the sonic and walks to the door and opens it.

"What is it?" Megumi asks.

"Nothing you should be afraid of." He responds. "the poor thing must be starving."

"What's starving?"

"This thing is." He reaches in and pulls out a feint glowing… firefly? Only it's as big as an apple, and instead of glowing green it's white.

"What is that?"

"Your people call them ST. Elmo's fire. But what they really are is star sprites."

"Star sprites?"

"Yes, they fly around the universe feeding off the lights off stars, or at least the babies do."

"Babies? Then what do the adults eat?"

"Entire stars."

Megumi shivered at what he said

"Oh don't worry they can't eat stars as big as this one; they're too big. Besides they eat in swarms of billions."

"Billions? Then why is this one here?"

The Doctor thought about it before he Said: "it's not unusual for a young on to stray from the heard, but then they can take off just as easily, what I ask myself is, why this one is here for so long."

Then a shade of darkness flies out the closet and through the window.

"Dammit, I should have known." The doctor runs down the stairs after the apparition with Megumi on his heels, when he reaches the box he turns to her. "Do you want to come?"

Megumi looks at him half amazed. "Can I?"

"Of course, I can bring you back few seconds from now so your folks won't get worried."

Megumi smiles but then looks at the blue box. "That looks a little too small."

"Oh you won't have trouble in the TARDIS."

"TARDIS?"

"Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. Now c'mon we have a Specter to catch." The Doctor and Megumi Walk in to the TARDIS and the first thing she notice was:

"It's bigger on the inside!"

"Yes it is. I love it when they say that." The Doctor works at the control panel pulling switches, pressing buttons, and hitting it with a hammer.

"So what is it we're after?" Megumi asks the Doctor.

"A black specter, the remains of an intelligent being that got sucked in to a black hole that wanders the universe looking for another chance a life."

"So it's a space ghost?"

"In a Way yes." The Doctor walks to a joy stick.

"All right Megumi go to that pump handle, yes that on. When I tell you, start pushing it up and down." Megumi nods in agreement as the Doctor struggles to lock on to the specter. "are you ready Megumi? One, two, three." And Megumi did as told and began pumping the handle.

"Is it working?"

"Just barely." He shouts back.

"What are we doing?"

"We're catching it."

"Why?" but he never got to answer it because the TARDIS began to rock uncontrollably.

"Dammit no!"

"What's going on?"

"The specter is causing theTARDIS to implode on itself." The Doctor looks over at Megumi "you're going to have to step out."

Megumi feels a jolt of shock of what he told her. "But why?"

"Because I don't want you here if this place explodes." He pulls a lever and then there's a thud and the doors open showing her room.

Megumi gives him a sad look. "Are you going to be back?"

He gives her a hopeful smile. "Yes I will be back." She walks out the TARDIS and the doors close then the box fades out with its mechanical whoosh.

"And that's how we met." Megumi said as she finished her story. They were all in the TARDIS sipping tea. "What happened to your face? You look completely different now."

"Well it's something I do when I'm about to die. My body heals itself and I get a new body."

"And how many times did that happen already?"

The Doctor silently raised two fingers.

Amy glared at the Doctor, and he shrank remembering that he did the same thing to her.

"So I guess I'm not the only little girl you just left behind." She said.

"You too?" Megumi asked. "Did he change his face on you too?"

"No, but that's good to know." She responded, still glaring at him.

"O.K. now that the reunion is over," River announced. "It's time to go to work. There have been odd occurrences at the college you go to." She said Megumi "is there anything you can tell us?"

Megumi thought on it and said: "well there is that one time the entire campus was turned into a castle, but I assumed that was a prank from the science department. But then there's my brother."

"What about him?" the doctor asked.

"Well there's always something weird going on when I visit, usually revolving around some of the girls he lives with."

"Then we should start there." River said and started packing her equipment.

"Kei, I need you to look at the problem of this engine." Chihiro ordered.

"Yes boss." Keichi responded. Usually he would die a little when she ordered him in the middle of something but he was still thinking of what jenny said. Even more frightening was how it fit in to Belldandy's prediction.

"What do you mean a Time Lady?" Keiichi asked.

"It's like Time Lord, only I'm a girl so it's lady." Jenny responded.

"Well I'm sorry," Belldandy said. "But there is not one person that reigns all of time, it's a pro-"

"No it's like that," Jenny interrupted. "It's the name of my species."

Keiichi looked at her in disbelief. "Species? So then you're an."

"Alien?" jenny finished. "Yes I am. I am from the planet Gallafrey in the constellation Castoberus. Well technically I am. I'm actually a- you know what never mind that. I need to stop something but I can't remember what."

"Stop something?" Belldandy asked. "What is it?"

"I can't remember, because they took part of my hippocampus, which I am going to pay them back for… so I'm vengeful too eh? That's neat." She finished gleefully.

"Can you please get back on track?" Keiichi asked "what do you mean something is coming?"

"That's it. Only it, I can't remember."

"Well let me look in your memories." Belldandy offered.

"I'm sure it would help but like I said they took part of my brain."

"Well what can we do?" Urd asked.

"Just prepare." Jenny said "Damn it this is so frustrating I could just punch a hole in the wall, and I'm also bad tempered? I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Then she walked to her temporary bedroom.

Keiichi and Belldandy got home early because of a gas leak. When they got there they saw a group of people outside the temple, one of theme apparently looking admiringly at Banpei.

"Look at this robot, a beautiful example of advanced engineering, and one right here on earth." The man said.

"Alright Doctor, that's all fine but can we please get to work." Said the red head with the Scottish accent.

"Excuse me," Keiichi said. "Can we help you?"

"Ah yes, I am inspector Peter Davison." said the man in the tweed jacket and hands Keiichi legitimate looking credentials. "And these are my assistants, MR Porter," he points at the young man. "Miss Gilligan," the older woman. "And Mrs. Porter." The red head.

Keiichi tensed up fearing what the man could want from them.

"sure. Come on in." he said and leads them in. "don't tell them anything about jenny." Keiichi told Belldandy. Keiichi led them in to the temple. When he got in there was the last person he needed.

"hi Kei." Megumi said.

"Megumi?" the Doctor and Keiichi both said at the same time. Them Keiichi looks at Peter.

"how do you know my sister?"

"Well I inspected her apartment so we are acquainted." The doctor throws a piercing stare at Megumi. "Miss Morisato I need to discuss something since you're here." He told her through clenched teeth."

"Alright." She responded, and followed him to the next room.

"What was that all about?" Asked Urd as she walked in with Skuld and Jenny.

"Yeah could I be any louder?" exclaimed Jenny.

"Now jenny please don't be rude we have guests." Belldandy told her.

"Why? They're not my guests." Keiichi cringed at what she said, and Gilligan felt something familiar about the girl.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" the Doctor irritably asked Megumi.

"Don't think you'll get away that easy again."

The Doctor getting more irritated decided now was not the time to argue. "Fine," he said "but don't interfere alright?" then the doctor noticed someone. He looks over her shoulder to see the ginger girl in the black fedora. There is something familiar about the girl, only it's difficult to place it. Deciding it wasn't important at the moment he walks over to Keiichi.

"All right now that all that is taken care of let's get to business." He looks at Keiichi "I heard there have been odd phenomena occurring in this area so can you tell me anything there is to know?"

Fearing this moment for a long time Keiichi tried to deny it. "nope, not at all."

"Are you sure?" Peter persisted.

"Yes I'm sure."

"Really? Because we have a reliable source telling us of odd activity happening here."

Belldandy was about to talk when Jenny interjected. "the man said there is nothing so there is nothing. Now if you don't mind…" jenny studied the man. She felt like she knew him, but quickly shrugged it off. "Any way you can go now."

"Well that was rude. But I would still like to take a look around if-."

"What did I just say?"

"Fine all right, c'mon every one that includes you too Miss Morisato." He said putting emphasis on the miss. When they all left Keiichi said to Jenny.

"Thanks we really owe you."

"Well to be honest I really don't like people as persistent as him. Also I need to get some shut eye, I still a few hours of my regeneration cycle left. But still you're welcome." Then she turns and walks away.

Keiichi looks at Belldandy and sees that she notice something in her confrontation with peter.

"Keiichi," she starts "I think Jenny might have known peter."

Keiichi looked surprised. "What, but how?"

"I don't know but they seem un aware of it themselves."

"Well I guess we're gonna have to wait and see."

Back at the TARDIS every one was slouching at the little progress they made.

"how could they have kicked us out?" Rory asked.

"it's possible they're hiding something." River said.

"That does seem possible." The Doctor said.

"Well what do we do? We can't just walk back there." Amy pointed out.

"You probably can't, but maybe I can." Megumi said. "Just leave it to me."
