A.N. – When last we left our time lady she had found her robotic companion, read on my readers. Read on.
AE: Alright a new chapter, this is gonna be… Fantastic ;)
9th: Oi! Stole my catchphrase, right there, that's what you did.
Loki: Let her continue or we'll never get back to the story.
Wembly: Oh boy, I'm more excited for this than waiting to hear from Gobo's uncle traveling Matt!
AE: Okay Wembly, we'll get the story started, Loki! Stop strangling 9.
*(looks to the mischief maker and the timelord)*
Jareth: When will you get to my story?
AE/9/Loki/Wembly: Not again!
The Disreputable Dog: Don't worry AE; I'll take care of the rest. Please review, leave a comment or some criticism for the story and tell AuthoressExtraordinaire what you like about the story so far. And as a bonus, if you can name in this introduction piece where each of the characters (me included) are all from, you may receive a minor character in your honor. Just make sure you leave a description of what they look like and the name you like that character to have.
AE: Thanks and enjoy!
Once they arrived back into the gates of the city, they returned the horses and began to walk back to the palace.
"What exactly is your companion?" Hogun asked; which surprised everyone because he hadn't said a single word for the whole journey.
"Well from a scientific stand point, he's artificial and technological life that can think, make decisions and follow commands, and as you have seen he can speak." Gallifey told him as they walked side by side with K-9 in between them.
"But what can he do exactly?" Lady Sif asked from her stand point on Gallifrey's left, flanking Sif's left were Fandral and Volstagg. On Gallifey's right were K-9, Thor, Hogun and Loki.
"He knows a lot of things. K-9's practically a super computer on wheels. Ask him anything and he could probably give you the exact or closest answer. Go ahead and ask." She told them all as they kept walking. They all blurted out questions at the same time, except for Loki and Hogun, those two kept quiet.
"Affirmative. That information is incorrect, in Norse Mythology you are listed as deities. And there's a rather funny myth in which Thor the Norse god of thunder had to disguise himself as a woman in order to get his hammer, mjolnir, back from the ones who had managed to steal it."
At this everyone laughed, Thor turned as red as his cape, "I remember when that happened, oh I couldn't stop laughing and now, ha ah ha-ha, I believe I won't be able to stop again," Volstagg said hunching as he slapped his knee and clutched his rib caged, as he righted himself he staggered a bit before gaining back his balance.
They soon entered the palace and the guards came up to them, saying that they were to go to the throne room immediately. Thor led the way with Volstagg, Fandral, Hogun and Sif behind him. Gallifrey stayed to the back with K-9 and Loki walked next to her.
"For a prince with a silver tongue, I haven't heard you talk much." She said looking over at him as they walked; they were a bit far from the group. Not enough to lose them but far enough so they wouldn't be able to hear what was said.
"Mistress, I believe that the Prince does not wish to speak at the moment, and I have questions for you mistress. This information needs to be stored in archival files of my database, for future references." K-9 said when Loki didn't answer.
"Ask away then K-9," Gallifrey said as they kept walking.
"What was the cause of your 7th regeneration?" K-9's robotic voice said as he skittered along between her and Loki. Never breaking stride she replied to his question.
"Blood loss, cardiac arrest in my lower heart and I also had a possible concussion, I knew my leg was broken and I kept falling in and out of consciousness."
Loki gave her a weird look when she said lower heart, but would ask her his questions at a later time when she would be totally alone.
The group finally entered the throne room, Odin and Frigga stood side by side on the steps that led to the elaborate chairs.
"I see that the Lady Gallifrey has found her companion well?" Odin asked as they knelt before their sovereigns, Gallifrey stood up from the ground.
"Yes your highness I have, and I am deeply sorry for having left in such an abrupt manner when you feared for the safety of your kingdom. I can assure you that I am no threat to Asgard whatsoever, but I hope that since I am stranded here for an uncertain amount of time that I could possibly be welcome and that you would give me permission to stay?"
Frigga looked at her husband, hoping that he would be merciful to the poor girl and allow her to stay. In his face, it showed no sign of what his answer would be.
Suddenly the King began to walk slowly down the steps and stopped at the second to last and looked down at the Time Lady.
"My dear child, you have been through very much with in the past few hours and you have given me no reason to doubt that you are not peaceful. So with that being said, you may stay."
"Thank you, I am most grateful to you for kindness," Gallifrey said and bowed her head slightly from where she stood at the base of the steps while Odin walked back to his wife's side. Frigga smiled down at the young woman, she could see that the Time Lady knew many things by the look in her eyes; it was the kind of look that was held in the eyes of her youngest son Loki. And Frigga wondered…
Gallifrey had been shown to the room that she, as well as K-9, would share. It was a huge room with a wardrobe, vanity, king-sized bed with a canopy, windowsill seat that led out to a balcony that was only six feet in radius, and a bathroom through a door off to the side that had a bathtub that could've been mistaken for a medium sized hot tub that had a small set of stairs that led to a waterfall that you could stand to use as a shower.
The colors for the room were gold, cream, sunset orange, lavender and sunset red. It reminded her of the sunsets and sunrises she would see back on Gallifrey, this brought of nostalgia back as she remembered the times before the war. She sighed, the golden light of the setting sun made the room shine.
"…And the mountains would shine..." she muttered, she couldn't cry anymore, the ache still hurt. Now, though, she had new adventures waiting for her here in Asgard, and as the doctor would have said. It'll be fantastic.
A.N. – Remember from the intro, now go. And do so my readers. :P :)
