Chapter 2: Doctor Who
"Wait, you two know each other?" I asked.
"Yeah, well, we used to. I haven't seen her since I was nine." Leeya said.
"That wasn't my fault, that was when I saw-"
"When you saw me again. How old are you Leeya?" I asked.
"16." Leeya replied.
I sighed. Why did I do this? I should've seen this coming. Sarah Jane and Leeya looked similar. And Leeya's ginger hair and proud way of holding herself should have tipped me off. But I was too ignorant to see it. Me! Ignorant!
"I'm sorry; I was sort of busy helping save the world!" Sarah Jane yelled.
"YOU COULD'VE MADE TIME TO SEE US! MOM THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! YOU DIDN'T EVEN COME TO DAD'S FUNERAL!" Leeya screamed. That's when she froze, and crumpled into a pool of tears. Not once in all my years have I had a companion that cried when they spoke of a lost loved one. It just proved how much I hadn't seen in this universe.
I helped her up.
"Leeya, it's okay. If you don't want to carry on-"
"No, I'm fine. I'll do it. For dad." She said.
She brushed past me, and she turned to Sarah Jane.
"Thanks for saving dad from the cybermen. Great job you did there." She said. She stormed off.
Sarah Jane sat down and sighed.
"Child trouble?" I asked.
"You have no idea." Sara Jane said with a chuckle.
I sat down next to her, telling her to continue.
"She was, um, troubled, as a child. She never fit in anywhere. She studied and read charts and books and notes. She painted masterpieces. And at night, she would climb onto her roof and stare at the stars. She never had a friend in the world. She was too proud of herself to admit that she needed help. It was too late when she started taking medication. We found out she had something in her brain. Right in the core. If you removed it, it would kill her. Strange things happened to her all the time, like the time she ended up getting trapped in the tiger cage at the zoo, and she rode a white tiger home. Or the time she got trapped in a lift at the shops, and she screamed, and the glass broke. She climbed down the side of the building to get to the ground." Sarah Jane sighed.
"Wait, what was in her brain?" I asked.
"I don't know, but after we found out, her parents didn't want her out and about. She had to fight to go to school. For her eighth birthday, I got her a telescope, and she drew up charts of the stars. She's very special. And very, very fragile." Sarah Jane finished.
She stood up.
"I want to go home Doctor. I miss living as a journalist. I miss Mr Smith." She said.
"What are you saying?" I asked.
"This might be my last adventure for a while." Sarah Jane said. I couldn't speak. I just nodded, straightened my bowtie, and stood up.
"You should go get Leeya; we need to put this operation in motion." I said.
She nodded, and she went to go get her. I leaned against the railing and ruffled my fingers through my hair. What had I done?
We hid in the bushes behind the school. Leeya and Sarah Jane sat in silence.
"You know the plan, we go in on three, okay?" I asked.
Leeya and Sarah Jane nodded.
"1, 2-"
"THREE!" Sarah Jane and Leeya announced, running into the building, I chased after them.
I got behind the gym with Sarah Jane, and typed in the coordinates. I hope Leeya's okay.
Leeyanne
I ran into the front hallway, and yelled, "Oi! SLETHEEN! COME AND GET ME!"
Instantly, the sletheen appeared. I ran, jumped over them, and kept running.
"GET HER!" They yelled.
I ran through the halls, looking back now and then to see that all three of them were there. Suddenly, I tripped, and went falling to the floor. They surrounded me, and one of them picked me up with his claws.
"She'll be a good snack for the flight home. Let's go. We can tackle this world another day." He snarled. He held me by my shoe, and walked with the others to the gym. They walked behind the bleachers and into the back room. That's when I slipped out of my shoe, and ran towards the trap. They chased after me. One metre, I thought. I sidestepped, fell over, and they fell into a net and onto a platform. Then the doctor flipped a switch, and they disappeared.
I stood up and dusted myself off.
"You okay?" Sarah Jane asked.
"Yeah. Can we just get me a new pair of shoes? They took one of mine." I said, looking down at my feet.
The doctor laughed, and pulled my beanie off my head.
"I think we can figure something out." He chuckled.
"HEY! That's mine!" I said.
"It covers your hair. Don't do that." He smiled.
Sarah Jane, the doctor, K-9 and I walked back to the tardis.
We walked inside. Sarah Jane had a smile on her face.
"This is just like the time, when the sletheen invaded Luke's school!" She laughed. Tears welled in her eyes as she said it though.
"You don't have to go, you know." The doctor said.
"Oh, but I must. I'll be around, but I can't travel anymore." She said.
"You're leaving?" I asked. She came over, ruffled my short hair, and smiled.
"Sadly, yes. But the Doctor will look after you Lee. I promise. You are destined for greatness. It's written in the stars." She smiled. She then turned and walked to the door.
"Come on K-9." She called.
"Goodbye Doctor. Goodbye Leeyanne." He stuttered, before following Sarah Jane out the door.
I sat down on the railing and sighed.
"She's right you know. You were born to do this. That's why I found you. You were meant for great things." The Doctor said.
I smiled, and nodded.
"Right, where are we going?" I asked.
"Anywhere you want." He laughed.
"Can we go to Pompeii?"
"Been there, destroyed that." He said.
"Um, the fire of Chicago?" I asked
"Nope, I don't like burning." He said.
"WHERE THEN?" I asked.
"Somewhere special." He said with a twinkle in his eye. I knew this meant trouble.
