Disclaimer, etc, etc. I'm sooo obsessed with Doctor Who right now xD Copyright on my idea. Please. I'm really proud of it.
We arrived at a planet I could tell, just like my father always can, had very little air, bright starshine from a near star, and it was precisely 1,735 degrees Valdercurs. In other words, it was about 27 degrees Celsius. I smiled.
"No," I said with my grin planted on my lips. "You did not, dad."
Gran looked at me with a tilt of her head and then over at my father.
"What did you do, Doctor?" she asked, standing near the console, hands casually folded across her stomach as she leaned against the railing. Pa and mum had decided to explore the Tardis because they weren't feeling up to running at the moment. And they probably weren't missing out, because if you thought the universe was big, I'll invite you into my blue home and change your mind completely.
"I brought you all to the Planet of Deraty," he said with my same quirky smile. "The world of water. Red flowing sand, calm, soft purple waters. You're going to love it."
Dad fiddled around at the console, flicking a few more buttons around and then finally flipping a switch before he flew down the steps and opened the Tardis doors to a sound of the most beautiful singing you could ever hear. I only dreamed of visiting Deraty. The calm waters sang as the sand flowed into it. The sand occupied only one small Ireland sized plot of land, but the planet was the water. You could breathe under the purple water, if you could even call it water. If I had to describe it, I would say it was similar to the Astronaut the Silence made mum wear, but much more peaceful and it let you be your own brain. The waters kept you alive, you never had to eat, humans would die at the age my father had grown to. But it was just there to be a friend, a healer, a life support.
And the music it gave off against the waves of the sound was rare. The songs only came once every five hundred thousand years. The waters would mix into a rainbow color at star set like oil in Earth's waters, but with twelve different colors and much more beautiful and natural. We had about one Earth hour before star set. Gran texted Pa to let him know we had landed, and to come if they wanted, and left her phone on the seat, following my father onto the sands of Deraty. I stood up slowly and walked my way to the doors. I was here. I was on Deraty. I love my family.
I jumped out of the Tardis with a grin on my face and following my father and Gran into the waters.
Deraty was beautiful.
We breathed as little of the poor air as we could as we stepped into the waters. As our now bare feet entered it's purple surface, the water rippled, but it was misshapen and it rippled the opposite way, as if reversing a video of water rippling. We immersed ourselves under completely and breathed in the cool water. Water rushed into our lungs, but it was nice, cool and warm at the same time. I breathed in and out, as my father instructed, and got used to it flowing in and out of my lungs. My two hearts were beating fast, although the weaker, more human one kept a slower beat.
I looked around at the world below us as we slowly sank down to the deep red bottom. The light was much brighter than up on the sand beaches. We sank onto the solid sand and suddenly we were under Gravity similar to Earth's. Just about perfect. I looked around. Where were all the Deraties? Honestly, and this is between you and me, in my dreams of Deraty, I have to admit I dream of kissing a fair Deraty, running my fingers over her scales, kissing both of her mouths, and letting her giggle at my nose (which one she does not have).
But there was none around at all. No swimming children, no busy mothers, not even a stray man sitting alone.
"Dad?" I asked, looking back at my father. He nods. He noticed too.
