Now, about the spaceship... let's say, it just wasn't very common. It was... unique, weird. Which means... oh, whatever. The spaceship was camouflaged in the form of a police phone chamber.

It was a blue box.

"Stop screaming so much."


Levana looked at the man who emerged from the blue box. He was dressed in an old-fashioned way. The first thing she noticed was that he was even wearing a bow tie. His expression didn't show any signs of danger. But he had somehow appeared, uninvited, inside the royal palace, and that's all that mattered. The queen got up.

"How dare you invade the room of the queen like this? Who are you?" she asked him.

Then she remembered to use her glamour. Tell me now who you are, and what brought you here. And don't you dare harm the queen in any way possible. she was repeating in her mind.

"I'm the Doctor. The TARDIS brought me here. Actually, what I wanted to do, was to fix a gap in time and space that causes an interference to the course of time onto the present." he said, looking her in the eye, obeying to her mind washing. But that only lasted for a brief moment. His attitude changed, and his efforts of resisting her finally caught up. Ignoring her, he looked at the orange liquid that was spilling on the floor more and more as time went by.

"One crack on the wall wasn't enough, so now we have a crack on the floor as well." he commented, smiling.

"Oh, you redheads..." he continued in the same cheerful tone, as he mindlessly caressed Levana's hair.

She took a step back.

"Don't. Touch. The queen."

Awkward silence fell after that. The Doctor was looking at her skeptically. "Your face..."

"What's wrong with my face?" asked Levana, and she sounded more nervous than she thought she was.

Her hands felt her "perfect" face as the Doctor kept looking at her deep in thought, his fade-out, almost non-visible eyebrows mingled together.

"It's weird" he finally said. "I was expecting it a bit more symmetrical. More intense cheekbones, fuller lips, the forehead could have less wrinkles..."

Levana goggled her eyes, and her right eyelid twitched. Did he just call her ugly?! How dare he, with those old clothes that were probably from another century, and those eyebrows that didn't even count as eyebrows?! She was shocked.

"Nonetheless, I have to admit that what you do is fascinating, and it really does make me wonde. You know, I searched on the world wide web and also the intergalactic web of the TARDIS, and, even though I found plenty of articles, I could not find a single actual photo of your real face."

The Doctor smiled playfully.

"So, tell me. How do you do it?" He did some signs in the air. "Lunar magic. Explain it to me."

He elbowed her on the ribs.

"I'm all ears."

The queen didn't seem to share his enthusiasm. She crossed her hands in front of her chest in a defensive posture.

"No. You have invaded the royal palace. That makes you dangerous. I'm calling security. Also..." she pointed at the TARDIS "that's a spaceship, right?"

"Oh, yeah..." said the Doctor, glancing indifferently at the blue box. "I knew you'd figure it out immediately. You Lunars sure know how to camouflage a spaceship."

"Are you from Earth?" she asked spontaneously.

The Doctor grimaced as if he'd heard the most stupid thing in his life. Even if it was just a simple question, it turned out to be difficult for him. He had to say something sufficient that would sound believable... He decided to go with the truth.

"I'm from Gallifrey."

He was completely serious when he said it, yet the queen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"So you're saying you're neither from Luna, nor from Earth?"

She laughed again. Her laugh had almost the same fake sweet tone as her talking voice, and its crystal sound sounded so evil, as evil as someone would expect from a woman who had planned the murder of an innocent little girl, just to have the throne all to herself.

Anyway, that laughter would obviously make anyone feel uncomfortable. Anyone but the Doctor. Because the Doctor was too far important and too incredibly smart to be fooled or scared by a trick like this. Specifically, the manipulation of bioelectric energy was a very cheap trick according to him, because the human beings who used it were detached from their moral values and were plain selfish, to say the least. Therefore, pretty much all Lunars were selfish. And the Doctor wouldn't tolerate that.
