Chapter 4: Romana's naming ceremony.

After picking out his outfit the Doctor went to the ceremony room; a room for any ceremony imaginable, even christening. The Doctor went to the all-in-one alter he owned and set the room to 'naming ceremony'.

Around him banners with every title imaginable appeared around the room, including, but not limited to: 'The Tutor', 'The Governess', even 'Gsargad', which meant 'Wise One' in Raxicoricopahllapatorian. (Damn). The floor covered itself in red carpet and many balconies adorned the sides of the room.

The Doctor smiled at the room in remembrance, he still remembered his naming ceremony.

~Flashback~

The Doctor woke up on his eighth birthday. He was quite nervous; today he would be taken from his family and entered into the academy.

After having his breakfast of tasteless mush called 'gruel' a couple of senators from Gallifrey's Low Council entered his family's house and took him and his adopted brother from his home and taken for initiation.

The Doctor and his brother were treated as well as they should have: with respect. After all The Doctor's dad was Lord President at that time, it didn't affect the Doctor's efforts in school however as he managed to pay attention.

When the brothers reached the Untempered Schism they looked in, however the Doctor turned his back on it; he wouldn't show weakness in running away. His brother however kept looking into it and didn't stop for five minutes when the senators had to physically remove him.

Next the Brothers were taken the Academy itself. The Academy was huge; it was the size of a small town! The spires and towers were awesome.

When the brothers entered the Academies Ceremony chamber they were greeted with the High Council watching them intently, and their father, who looked at them with a slight smile. "Come forward." The president ordered his two sons. They approached the Alter and went to their knees. "Choose your titles, and do so carefully!" The President looked at the Doctor and asked. "Theta?"

The Doctor thought carefully before answering. "The Doctor. I want to be the one that helps."

The President looked at his adopted son with slightly cold eyes and asked. "Sigma?"

The Doctor's brother looked at his father with a grin and answered. "The Corsair. What's life without a little risk?"

The President looked at the Corsair slightly worried before announcing to the assembled crowd. "Please welcome The Doctor and The Corsair!" The crowd politely clapped before dissipating.

~End Flashback~

Basically very dull and boring. The Doctor sent the TARDIS a telepathic signal to tell Romana to come to the Ceremony Room.

When Romana reached the Ceremony Room she looked around in awe before spotting the Doctor waiting at the Alter in Ceremonial Robes. "Come forward Romanadvoratrelundar." The Doctor spoke authoritatively.

Romana walked up to the alter calmly. When she reached the alter she kneeled before The Doctor. The Doctor looked down at her kneeling form and said. "Please pick your title."

"I pick… Romana. It will succeed in hiding my full name." Romana replied.

"Stand." The Doctor ordered, Romana doing as he asked. "Donna Noble, I give you Romana."

Thus ending the ceremony. "Now that that is over, let's go for an adventure!" Donna yelled excitedly.

The Doctor and Romana laughed all the way to the console room before sobering up when the TARDIS gave a great lurch.

End Story!
