Firstly, I apologise for taking SO long for writing this been VERY busy last week and the chapter just did not seem to like being interesting so after a few re writes it is now more fun XD. This is pretty pointless Chapter about life in the TARDIS now Joanna is here but I think it's cute. Also I promise things will start getting interesting from now on an adventure is in the making besides they have to break in their new companion ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor.
The Next Morning the two happy couples where woken up the sound... well a plane running through the corridors of the TARDIS. This wasn't helped by the fat the TARDIS seemed to be playing along with the girl.
So as the girl yelled turbulence the Time machine shook about and the floor vibrated sending the little girl into peals of laughter as she sat in her makeshift plane. This consisted of a cardboard she had found in a room full of cardboard boxes and teddies that sat around her playing the other passengers. There were also large holes on the bottom of the box which Joanna proceeded to put her legs through and carry on running down the corridors wobbling all over the place as tears of laughter rolled down her cheeks.
But most importantly a blue Fez sat upon her head fitting perfectly. She had also stuck a piece of paper of the hat that said 'Pilot' in big black letters written hurriedly.
"Meeeeowmmm," Jo stated imitating the noises of the plane as she ran.
...
Amy groaned and pulled a pillow over head, having just pulled it out from underneath Rory's head. "You a Nurse Rory go sort her out." She grumbled elbowing him in the ribs.
"You don't wanna come and see the Doctor struggle with this?" He asked her knowing she couldn't resist seeing the Doctor be out done by anyone. It being a 9 year old girl, hopefully, this morning made it extra fun.
Amy sighed, she hated that he was right. "Ugh," She grunted and she pulled herself out of the bed and headed sleepily to the wardrobe Rory right behind her.
It had been a whole week since Joanna had joined the TARDIS Family. After the first couple of days Joanna had finally decided that they weren't all out to cut open her brains and take her to their leader.
A little competition had also sprung up between Amy and River both wanting to play the mother role. Meanwhile, Rory was obviously the Dad, the Doctor only really being able to play the crazy uncle role; this gave Amy a head start at being the mum.
It had also been a whole week since they had moved anywhere and so a week since the Doctor had saved anybody. To be honest it was quite nice, like a vacation though everyone was starting to get the itch of boredness that is all except Joanna who was happy running through the corridors playing with the TARDIS.
They where a crazy pair a, who knows how old, TARSDIS and a nine and three quarters, as everyone kept being reminded if they even thought of saying just nine. But, that didn't stop them at all the Doctor was even getting slightly jealous. The Time machine seemed to respond to the girls every whim. Their favourite game was hide-and-seek the room. The TARDIS hid a room and Joanna spent hours finding it this was all very well but more often than not it was an important room like the kitchen meaning the whole TARDIS crew ended up playing whether they wanted to or not.
...
The two met River and The Doctor in the control room rubbing their eyes sleepily.
"Is it just me or has gone a little quiet..." Rory asked, the room went quiet at his words. Nothing. Silence, apart from the usual low humming of the TARDIS.
"Joanna?" Amy called out loudly her voice echoing down the corridors. The silence that followed was worrying and a frown appeared on the four adults faces. As one they all ran toward the girl's bedroom.
They were stopped on the way however by a makeshift plane discarded on the floor. Inside where 5 walkie-talkies and a picture of a fish, of all things, on the bottom of the 'plane'.
River sighed, grabbed one of the walkie-talkies and then rolled her eyes sighing again. "She's playing her version of Sardines." She explained to the 3 other worried faces. "She hides and we have to find her. But when we do we the hide with her." She carried on.
"Yeah we played it as a child, but what's the catch? What are the walkie-talkies for?" Amy asked gesturing to her and Rory as she interrupted River.
"I was getting to that part, we use them to communicate. You see she makes it look as though she doesn't have one but actually there are six not five. So she can hear us talking throughout the game. When we find her she takes the walkie-talkies and pretends to be the person whose walkie-talkie she has. The aim for her is to get all the walkie-talkies without the last person knowing. It's actually very clever. All we have to do now is find her..." River told them all as she handed them out the walkie-talkies.
"Well this shouldn't be too hard we just get the TARDIS to take us too her." The Doctor told them with a smile and waltzed toward a door. Said door opened, "That wasn't there before?" He wailed as the realisation dawned on him that the TARDIS was going to be helping Joanna.
"Yep, the TARDIS is playing to." River sighed this would possibly be the last time she played this game if her time line with the little girls was like the Doctor's. She couldn't stop the tear that fell down her face it hurt almost as much as it would loosing Amy and Rory or possibly even as much as loosing the Doctor.
"Race ya!" Amy exclaimed punching Rory playfully on the shoulder and dashing off down a corridor.
Rory scowled rubbing his arm before trailing after her like he always had.
"Come on Stupid," Amy's voice laughed down the walkie-talkie. Rory smiled at her words like only a man in love can and disappeared into a connecting corridor.
This left River and the Doctor who was sonicing the walkie-talkie which being a child's play toy not exactly difficult space equipment sparked and died.
River laughed, "Sweetie, no one likes a cheater." She purred at him a teasing smile playing across her lips as she handed him the spare walkie-talkie. "She's only nine and three quarters how hard can it be?" River asked raising her eyebrow at the Doctor's, still pouting, face.
The Doctor grinned, "First one to find her gets to choose what we all eat for dinner!" He chuckled pressing the button on the walkie-talkie so Amy and Rory, and Joanna, could hear.
"Faster Rory! I am not forcing down another bowl of fish fingers and custard!" Amy ordered down the walkie-talkie while River and Rory groaned.
River stopped herself from groaning again at the Doctor's pouting face. She hated fish fingers and custard after a certain incident of being forced to eat 3 bowls in a row, when she was younger, after losing a bet with the Doctor. Who, now looking back, had obviously known the outcome.
A cheeky smile played across Rivers, determined not to have another bowl of fish fingers and custard she would have to win and that meant playing unfair.
"Look a GIANT Jammy dodger!" River yelled suddenly pointing behind him. She laughed as he spun round almost drooling while she opened a door into another corridor and disappeared.
"Hey, no fair!" The Doctor growled he almost felt like crying how could she be so cruel! His signature pout jumped onto his face until he realised there was no one to take pity. Instead he stalked off into the opposite room to River's leaving the hallway now empty. Apart from a mangled walkie-talkie and a picture of a fish/sardine.
...
10 hours later.
River held a sleeping Joanna cradled in her arms, even though she was 9 she was so light and skinny it was no effort at all. She sat in a 2 seater sofa in the new lounge area that the Doctor had created after buying a 140 inch TV at the little girl's instance.
Never leave the Doctor and Joanna alone in a shopping mall with money was one of the newest rules that Amy and Rory had learnt.
Amy and Rory where cuddled on the other sofa reading what looked to be a travel brochure, obviously deciding where there next honeymoon should be. This would be there 5th.
Finally, The Doctor. He was trying to decide what film they would be watching. After finding Joanna 2nd, River had been first, he had been allowed to choose the movie.
Amy and Rory after realising that Joanna had been found be River, after the girl's slip up when not saying 'Sweetie' to chide when discussing the advantages and disadvantages between jammy dodgers and Haribo teddy bears, had seemed to take a little 'break' before continuing to look.
The little family placed the array of Mexican food on the big coffee table, chosen by River as a universally liked meal throughout the crew, except Joanna who had macaroni cheese.
"Aha!" The Doctor explained finally pulling out a DVD.
"What did ya pick?" Amy asked looking up from the picture of woman skiing in New Zealand.
"Wait and see." The Doctor told her tapping his nose and winking. Amy just stuck her tongue out at him.
River and Rory sighed sometimes they wondered who the child in their group really was.
The Doctor popped the DVD in and grabbed a fork with macaroni cheese spiked onto it. He then proceeded to sit down next to River and waft the food under the sleeping girls nose ignoring the death glares from River.
Joanna smiled having actually awoken a few minutes ago but having been happy snuggled into River's arms, there was something familiar about them...
The Doctor squeaked as suddenly Joanna bit onto the end of the fork eating the macaroni cheese.
Everyone except The Doctor laughed who pouted again.
"You're in charge of the remote." Amy ordered chucking the remote to Rory.
Rory groaned being in charge of the remote, which he usually was, was the worst thing about movies. Mainly because the other 3 could never decide on the volume they wanted ending in an argument that was only resolved if a perfect volume could be found.
It also meant they usually ended up watching films twice as they had missed a huge chunk of it.
"Shhh," Joanna ordered placing a finger on her lips and glaring at them all. The movie was starting. The was Joanna's first movie watching with them as she usually fell asleep before anyone could decide on the movie.
This was going to be interesting.
The Doctor grinned as the movie's title appeared on screen. 'Back to the Future.'
Surprisingly no one moaned being a classic and one they hadn't seen in a while it was actually one they all loved.
"Turn it up a bit." Amy whispered to Rory.
So it began...
...
River tucked Joanna into bed whispering something to her that Amy couldn't quite hear. River then moved away giving Amy the chance to say goodnight to the child, then Rory and finally the Doctor.
It had been another great evening and a movie night even Rory had enjoyed. That was after Joanna had started crying when they started their argument over the volume of the TV. They had obviously been fake but they all where putty in the girls hands as soon as she did the cute face.
And so ended another day in the TARDIS which was now gently rocking the little girls bed, thankfully not the whole room like it had once making exiting very difficult.
So what do you think? Sorry for putting the word walkie-talkie ALOT I too was sick of it by the end I promise never to putting it in so many times again if you review ;D
