The Chance of a Lifetime
Chapter 3 – The Eleventh Hour Part 2
Doctor's POV
When I woke up, I tried to look for Lizzie straight away. Then I found her handcuffed to the radiator, like me. 'She looks so cute when she's asleep… Wait. I shouldn't be thinking about her like this. She is just my friend. Although I wish she could be more than that. I bet she doesn't even like me like that.' All her hair was in front of her face. I didn't want to wake her so I very slowly and stealthily, moved her hair out of her face to behind her ear. Just then she started to stir out of her sleep. Then she opened her eyes, still looking a bit sleepy. Then her head ended up bashing into mine.
"Ow, watch where you put your head?" I shouted as she lifted her head off my shoulder.
"Cricket bat. I'm getting cricket bat" she said still a bit sleepy. "Oh, hello. Where are we?"
"Well I think we are handcuffed to a radiator." I said trying to lift my hand up so she could see the handcuff around my wrist. Just then I could hear someone speaking in another room.
"I've got one white male and female both 'round the age of 20 send me some backup. I've got them restrained." Then a policewoman walked out of one of the rooms further up the hallway. "Oi, you two sit still." The woman said looking at us.
"You hit us with a cricket bat." I said staring at her with a confused look on my face.
"You two were breaking and entering." She glared at us.
"Oh, a hit on the head just what I needed. You're a policewoman. What are you doing here?" I asked her. I looked in the nearest room, which was Amelia's room. Then I realised that her stuff wasn't there but someone else's stuff in the room instead. "Where's Amelia?"
"Amelia Pond?" she asked me.
"Yeah. Where is she? Little Scottish girl. I told her we would be back in 5 minutes but I think we took a bit longer than that." I said looking around the house from where I was sitting to find Amelia.
"Amelia hasn't live in the house in ages" she said.
"How long?" Lizzie said, finally in this conversation.
"6 months" she said still staring at us.
"No! We couldn't have been that long. I said 5 minutes. I promised." I said. Then the policewoman walked off saying something into the radio that we know something about Amelia Pond. I tried to look out the window and as soon as I looked out the window, I knew something had changed. It was autumn when we were here last but now the flowers were blooming. "Lizzie, its early summer but last time we were here it was autumn." I said looking at her. She looked at me with a confused face, thinking the same as me.
"What? that's impossible." She said.
"Excuse me? I need to speak to the person that lives in this house." I called over to her, trying to get her attention.
"I live here!" she said looking at me after she said something on the radio.
"But you're the police" Lizzie said.
"Yes, and I live here. You got a problem with that." She said to Lizzie. They way she said that sounded really familiar.
"And you just happened to be in full uniform with handcuffs close by?" I asked her.
"You always have to be prepared" she sputtered out as if she had just made it up at that moment.
"How many rooms are on this floor?" I asked her.
"Why?" she asked
"Because it will change your life" he said.
"Five" she said. The Doctor and I looked at each other.
"Six" we said together
"What?" she said looking at us like we were mad.
"There are six rooms on this floor. Look in the place, you're always afraid to look. At the corner of your eye" Lizzie said. She slowly turned her head. Then I guess from what she said next that she found the 6th door.
"That's not possible!" she gasped.
"There's a perception filter that prevents you from seeing it. I sensed it the last time I was here. Should have seen it and you need to uncuff us now." I said.
"But that's a whole room I've never noticed before" she said starting to walk towards it.
"Uncuff us now" Lizzie said. But she ignored her. "Please. I don't want to be handcuffed to this idiot forever" She yelled.
"I don't have the key. I lost it" she said.
"What do you mean you've lost it?" I said throwing one of my arms in the air.
"What policewoman doesn't have the key to her own handcuffs?" I yelled.
"Just stay away from that door, don't touch that door! Listen to me, don't open that-" I told her but she opened the door. "No one ever listens to me. Do I just have a face that no one listens to?" I asked Lizzie. She smiled.
"You get the Sonic?" She asked me. I looked at her and started looking around in my pocket, but came up with nothing.
"Where is it? Where'd it go? Silver thing, blue at the end. Where is it?" I asked her.
"Silver thing, blue on the end?" the police woman said from inside the room.
"Yeah, that's my sonic. It must have rolled under the door" he said.
"Yeah must have." The woman shouted back at us so we could hear her. "And then it must have jumped on the table". I then realised what had happened and what was in there.
"Get out of there" I told her.
"What are you doing?" Lizzie asked her.
"There's something here but I can't see it" she said.
"Corner of your eye" I reminded her. "Don't try and look at it. If you see it, it will kill you" I said.
"That's makes her feel much better" Lizzie shouted sarcastically. Then, there was a scream and the police woman ran out closing the door behind her and handing the screwdriver to me. I uncuffed us.
"Will that hold it?" she asked me.
"Of course it's an intergalactic alien. There all terrified of wood" I said sarcastically as we got up. A bright light started to glow behind the door.
"What's it doing?" she asked looking at the door.
"Getting dressed. You two should run you have back up coming. I'll be fine" I told the policewoman and Lizzie.
"I'm not leaving you!" Lizzie shouted at me. I looked towards her and looked into her eyes. She looked into my eyes. We stayed like that for a couple of seconds before the woman broke the moment.
"There is no back up!" she said.
"WHAT?" Lizzie asked completely shocked, as she looked away from me towards the woman.
"But you called for it on your radio" I said as I looked at here as well trying to search her face for a flinch of something to tell me she was lying.
"It's pretend. It's a pretend radio" she said. She was telling the truth.
"But you're a police woman?" I asked wondering where this was going.
"I'M A KISS-O-GRAM" she said taking off her hat revealing really familiar long red hair. The door which had been locked was busted down revealing a man in a blue jumpsuit with a dog beside him.
"So the terrifying alien is a man and a dog! WOW!" Lizzie said raising her eyebrows.
"No. Look at the faces" I said. She looked at the faces and then saw that the man was growling and then he barked at us like a dog would do. "It's one form in two bodies, bit of a rushed job though got the voices a bit off." I said looking at the man and dog. It barked at us again.
"Okay Doctor, shut up now. I think you're getting it angry" Lizzie said through gritted teeth. The man started to grow really sharp fangs.
"Stay back, we'll be safe here and you know why because she sent for back up" I lied.
"I DIDN'T SEND FOR BACK UP!" the woman said sounding frustrated.
"He knows. It was a clever lie to save our lives but never mind, she didn't send for back up which is why we are safe because you would kill us if we did." Lizzie reasoned.
"Good logic!" I said looking at her very impressed.
"Attention Prisoner zero. The human residence is surrounded" I heard a familiar voice say.
"What was that?" the woman asked.
"I think that's back up!" Lizzie guessed.
"Never mind. Ok, we do have back up, which is why we're safe" I said to confuse prisoner zero. Then, the voice said something about the human residence being incinerated. "Well, apart from incineration!" I said very annoyed. That, for some reason, changed prisoner zero's focus towards a room next to it. He walked in to the room and looked out the window to try and find the source of the voice.
"Run" I whispered and we ran out of the house.
"A kiss-o-gram?" I asked her while locking the door.
"You broke into my house. It was either this or a French maid. What's going on? Tell me!" She demanded as they followed me to the TARDIS.
"There's an alien living in a room of your house disguised as a man and a dog and your house is about to be incinerated." I tried to open the TARDIS door "No. NO. Don't do this to me!" I said but it would budge. Lizzie kicked it to see if it would budge but nothing happened. Then I glared at her for doing that.
"It's still not done changing which means we can't get in it" I said shifting my attention back to the TARDIS.
"Great just when we need you most, you bail on us" Lizzie yelled at the TARDIS and it gave her a wheezing noise.
"She doesn't like it when you yell at her" I said. She rolled my eyes at me.
"Come on!" the woman said grabbing me and the Doctor's arms.
"Wait, wait I destroyed this shed last time I was here" I said walking to a shed at the corner of the garden.
"Well there's a new one!" The woman said annoyed trying to pull us away from the shed.
"Yes, but I destroyed it and it must be years old at least by the looks of it. Come on Lizzie, tell me you agree with me!" I whined at her.
"To tell you the truth, I wasn't paying attention to any shed. I was more focused on how we fell out of the sky" Lizzie said looking up at the sky, while I smelt the shed.
"12 years! We've haven't been gone 6 months. We've been gone for 12 years!" I said looking at the woman astonished.
"He's coming" she said looking a bit worried about something now.
"Why'd you say 6 months?" Lizzie asked her.
"We've got to go" she said really focused on changing the subject.
"Wait this is important. Why'd you say 6 months?" I asked her.
"WELL, WHY'D YOU TWO SAY FIVE MINUTES?" she yelled at us. Suddenly I realized that the young women was little Amelia Pond. Lizzie couldn't help but let her bottom jaw drop open. I closed it with my hand pushing up on her chin, still looking at the woman who apparently was an older version of Amelia Pond.
"What?" I said surprised.
"Come on!" Amelia said.
"WHAT?" Lizzie practically yelled realising who she was.
"COME ON!" she repeated yelling in my face dragging us behind her.
"WHAT?" Lizzie and I repeated in unison.
"Your Amelia, you're the little girl" I said.
"You two are late" she said all angry stomping off.
"You hit us with a cricket bat though!" Lizzie told her.
"12 years" she said.
"Cricket bat!" Lizzie yelled.
"12 years!" she repeated.
"But you hit us with a cricket bat!" I said.
"12 years and 4 psychiatrists. I kept biting them" she said.
"Why?" Lizzie asked her.
"They said you weren't real" she said looking sad.
"PRISONER ZERO WILL LEAVE THE HUMAN RESIDENCE OR THE HUMAN RESIDENCE WILL BE INCINERATED!" We heard the same voice we heard at Amelia's house, come from a radio on an ice cream truck. I kept repeating what we just heard. We ran towards it.
"Why are you playing that?" the Doctor asked him.
"It's supposed to be playing the Clare DeLune" the ice cream man said disappointed.
"Well, why'll we are here, can I have a Cornetto?" Lizzie asked me. Me and Amelia gave her a look.
"Why would you want a Cornetto? We are sort of in a situation here." I said flapping my arms in the air trying to get the message along to her.
"The ice cream van never comes round my house!" She told me crossing her arms round here chest, looking annoyed. Then I saw a woman looking at her earphones funnily.
"Doctor, what's happening?" Amelia asked me. I ignored her and ran off into an old lady's house. Amelia and Lizzie followed me.
I ran into the living room in the house and saw a OAP standing towards the TV, changing the channels to get rid of the massive eyeball on the screen. "Hello, I'm here about television faults." Then I looked at Amelia's outfit. "Also crimes." I added. I looked at the TV and walked over to the old lady.
"I was just about to call. It's on every channel" the old lady who owned the house told me, handing me the remote.
"Hello Amy, I didn't know you where a policewoman" the old lady asked her, looking at her outfit.
"Yeah, I work with the police now" she lied.
"And a nurse?" the old lady asked her looking confused.
"I can be a nurse." She lied again looking like she didn't want the lady to know she was a kiss-o-gram.
"Or a nun?" the old lady said looking at her up and down.
"I dabble." Amelia burst out as an excuse.
"So Amy. Who are your friends?" the old lady said looking at me and Lizzie.
"What? Amy. What happened with Amelia?" Lizzie asked her.
"Yeah" I said. "What happened to Amelia Pond. That was a great name" I said. Amy glared at the Doctor.
"Bit fairytale." She said smirking a bit.
"I know you two. Don't I? I've seen two somewhere before." The old lady asked us.
"No. Not me. New face" I said while making that weird face again I did to Lizzie when I first didn't recognize him when the TARDIS was on fire.
"And I just travel with him" She said smiling at me while bumping me in the shoulder. Then I realised that it was a fake smile.
"You alright?" I asked a look of concern on my face. "Is there something wrong?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." She said. Another fake smile on her face.
"So what sort of job is a kiss-o-gram?" I asked Amy shifting my attention from Lizzie. I wasn't going to get anything from Lizzie so I didn't bother.
"Ummmm." Amy said uncertain about what to say.
"Do you want me to tell him instead?" Lizzie asked her. Amy nodded. 'I wonder what is so embarrassing about being a kiss-a-gram.' I thought. Then I realised what a kiss-a-gram was.
"A kiss-a-gram is a person who goes to parties and kiss people for a laugh." Lizzie whispered in my ear. A look of disgust spread across my face. I looked towards Amy and she started blushing.
"You were a little girl 5 minutes ago!" I said trying not to let my anger take over.
"You're worse than my aunt!" she said glaring at me.
"I'm the Doctor. I'm worse than everybody's aunt!" I said back. Lizzie got between us to try and break us up. I glared at Amy. Then, I looked at Lizzie. The sad look on her face made me softened the glare I gave Amy. I looked towards the old lady staring at us from the conversation we just had. "And that is not how I am introducing myself." I said smiling again. Lizzie started smiling after I did. 'She's back to normal! Yay!' I smiled mentally.I picked up the old ladies radio flicking through the radio stations with my sonic and we heard the same message but in different languages.
"Ok so it's everywhere. In every language." I said and went to go look outside the window.
"What are you looking for?" Lizzie asked me.
"Ok, let's see. A planet this size with your basic molten core. They're gonna need a 40% fission blast but they'll to power up first so assuming a medium size starship, that's 20 minutes. What do you think, 20 minutes? Yeah, 20 minutes." I said looking up and down at the man who just came in the room.
"Ok Doctor. Step back a little. You're starting to freak him out a bit." Lizzie said pulling me back.
"Wait! 20 minutes till what, Doctor?" Amy asked.
"Are you the Doctor and Lizzie" the man behind us asked.
"They are, aren't they? I knew it. The Raggedy Doctor and Lizzie. All the stories you told and the cartoons you drew when you were little. They are real." The old lady told Amy amazed.
"Cartoons?" I asked. I looked at Amy and went to sit down on the couch.
"How come he gets 'The Raggedy Doctor' and all I got was Lizzie?" I asked her putting my hands on my hips.
"Oh she is feisty. You said that in your stories as well." the old lady said really happy.
"It's them, it's really them." The man said poking Lizzie in the chest to see if she was real.
"HEY! Get your hands off me!" Lizzie said whacking his hands away from her chest.
"Jeff, shut up now! 20 minutes till what!" Amy asked me.
"When they were talking about the human residence, they weren't talking about your house they were talking about the entire planet and there's a spaceship flying right above it." I said.
"And by incinerated, it means what it usually means, which is 20 minutes till the end of the world" Lizzie said sitting down next to me.
So how was that? I hope you liked that chapter. Now what you need to do next is review.
