Hello again, this is might be the last time i review this week but hey a chapter a day is a pretty hard pace to keep :) and thanks to my reviewers i love reading what you have to say. I'm not sure how i feel about this chapter but i hope you guys like it
Naomi
"NAOMI WE HAVE TO FUEL UP FIRST" Effy screamed at me before I had locked the coordinates to Italy.
To be fair she had tried to tell me about five times before she screamed at me so I set the coordinates for fucking Cardiff.
"Cardiff it is then, Italy will be waiting for us whenever we make it there." A look of relief crossed Effy's face before she went back to being all aloof and stoic.
By beautiful spaceship shook violently at the sudden change in course; poor JJ flew off the control deck, Freddie tripped around and landed face first on the ground but that wasn't unusual since he always seems to be stoned off his face, Cook stumbled but stayed upright, Effy just went with it like nothing was happening and I just grabbed on to a handle on the control panel and just enjoyed the moment of total recklessness I knew this was how I was meant to live my life, on the edge. We parked near this structure made to look like a waterfall in the middle of an outdoor shopping center. Then we piled out of my ship looked around and took in Cardiff.
"It'll need to fuel up for about twenty hours since this is the first fuel up its had in years, so we'll be able to leave tomorrow at 6pm."
"Bloody hell twenty hours in Whales cheers Ef. Well let's find a party tonight" I took out my sonic screwdriver and credit card.
"And if I'm stuck here you best believe I'm going to be wealthy while I'm doing it." I put my sonic screwdriver to my card and programed it to tell registers that whatever I bought was paid for in full without actually paying for and then delete the purchase history within the next hour so the store wouldn't even know it got ripped off and I changed my name on the card to Jane Smith, it seemed generic enough. "Well lets go Cookie, let's get this PARTY STARTED" I raised my hands in the air doing my best impression of Cook
As if it were kismet we found a bar in the shopping center we were parked in and it seemed to be a decent place and it was 19 up so we all could get in. We all got plastered on my perfect credit card and partied hard the bar was dark and packed it was a Thursday night, and dub step night to top it off. They played some of my favorite artists; flux pavilion remixes, Skrillex, and some DJ Fresh. Cook was like magic within twenty minutes he was handing me a pill I assumed to be ecstasy this night was going to be wild me and the other children letting loose the way humans do hopefully the last time we party in this century for a while so why not make it a brilliant night. We danced with each other for hours and drank till last call this was by far the largest tab I'd ever seen over £300, I almost felt bad for the bar owners I'd make it up to them somehow. We all still wanted to party so we found a corner store that was open and bought 10 bottles, 5 tequila and 5 vodka, then made our way back to the ship. Something felt a bit different not bad just different so I looked up recent changes to the TARDIS and a room was added.
"Hey guys the TARDIS added a room lets go check it out." I slurred, the excitement level inside my ship increased dramatically everyone was running towards the new room as if the only person who would gain entrance was the first one who got there. Surprisingly Freddie was the first to find the room, I didn't realize he was fast he always just seemed to take everything so slowly.
"Holy shit GUYS YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT." Freddie bellowed and then just laughed
The rest of us entered the large room it was a bloody CLUB THE TARDIS MADE US A CLUB. My beautiful beautiful ship knew we were young and liked to party so it gave us an outlet it also had a fully stocked bar.
"THIS IS BRILLIANT fucking ace Blondie your ship is by far superior mine would have never thought to give me unlimited booze." Cook looked like a kid in a candy store.
It really was brilliant it had a DJ booth right above the bar with a 21st century set up Cook had already run up there and plugged in his ipod to let the music start blaring through my beautiful TARDIS it was amazing we danced some more but we were rather knackered but weren't ready for bed so we all got a bottle from the bar and sat in a circle.
"Let's get to know each other better I say we play a little game of two truths and lie, with a twist if we guess your lie you have to take a shot and if we guess wrong we all have to take one." Cook said with a smirk he knew I was shit at this game and that I was going to drink so much that I was going to have to puke on sight. That cheeky bastard got up and bloody gave me a trash can. God I hate him sometimes.
"I'll go first then, my name is James, I've shagged an alien and I have 15 tattoos" he said knowing I'd know the answer and ready to drink.
"You've never shagged an alien you twat and you weren't gone long enough to make it happen." I said the others agreed with me.
"SUCKS TO BE YOU" he started dying of laughter
"Humans are aliens to us and I've shagged plenty of them but the lie was my name my mom named me
Jambox who the hell names someone Jambox so I just call myself James." We all took our shots and the game continued "Now I get to decide who goes next let's see" he looked around at everyone lingering for a few seconds on each person before he stopped at me "NAOMIKINS I want to know what you're going to lie about"
"I really do hate you sometimes." I sighed "Um let's see; I worked on a project with Torchwood, I love playing rugby and I'm gay as a window."
"Oh babes you never worked with Torchwood I would definitely know about that and that's a HUGE no no, time for your shot." The group agreed
"Well take your shots I bloody hate rugby" I said with a wink the group looked scared Torchwood wasn't known for kindness to aliens. "I didn't know I was helping them until after the project was done, there was a bit of space junk my University found after the Slaveen invasion and I was running an analysis on it my professor told me to work with this team of experts so I did after we realized it was just a communications system they offered me a job which I refused and they left, that was that for that." I said with a smirk. The group seemed to relax realizing that I wasn't working with them; Torchwood has a way of corrupting people they have the best intentions but it's a bit dodgy. "Okay Effy you're next."
"I have a human brother, I know another child of the TARDIS, and the 70's were my favorite era to live in."
"But the seventies were such shite Ef, on the other hand they had good drugs back then" was Freddie's response
"There's no way you know another child the chances of you bumping into the are astronomical while I can't give exact numbers seeing as I don't know exactly how many of us there are" JJ rambled until he was interrupted
""JJ locked on mate" It was Cook who stopped him "There's no way you know another of the children we'd know about it right" Cook looked to Freddie and JJ "okay that's the lie"
"Freds was right the 70s were shite."
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK EF, you knew of someone else and you didn't tell us." Freddie looked really hurt
"Her name is Pandora she goes by Panda I met her in the briefly 80s apparently she wanted to make that her first stop before she went to see the Seven Wonders of the World while they were being built she either started in Egypt or Greece I can't quite remember."
"Well I think we should find her." I surprised myself with that comment "No one should wonder the universe alone." Tears started falling down my face "I'm sorry I need to go to bed, you all will find your rooms the TARDIS will lead you to them if you get lost." I got up took my bottle and ran to my room. I missed my mom something fierce and I knew that I couldn't go looking for the younger her for a while because I'd mess up her timeline, since she clearly didn't know that she had met the adult me before I was even a thought in her head. I sat on my bed drinking the bottle of vodka that I still had I heard my door open and Effy walked in.
"You want to know what your mom said to me before she died."
I just shook my head of course I did.
"She asked me to look after you, your mom and I were really good mates back when we travelled with Borusa she wanted to make sure you travelled the world and she wanted you to be happy and relish every experience you had" of course this only made me cry harder.
"But I wasted so much time being a cow to her she was an amazing woman and for more than half my life I was a bitch to her." I was crying harder than I ever had
"Naomi for someone so smart you really are daft. She knew you loved her more than anything and she also knew that it was hard for you to grow up in a world that was slower than, you than all of us, and once you were with your own kind again you'd be able to grow into the amazing woman that she knew you would be" and with that she gave me a hug we grieved for the woman we both held dear after a couple minutes we fell asleep, there was nothing there but friendship one that I think will turn out to be quite brilliant.
We slept all day, Effy and I woke up around 4 pm. Sleeping that late did wonders because I woke up with a very minor hangover nothing a few bottles of water wouldn't cure.
"Only a couple more hours and then we can be off where do you want to go Naomi?" as Effy spoke to me she pulled out a cigarette which I took from her so she pulled out another and we smoked in silence in my room.
"I think we should find Pandora, who knows what state her ship is in and honestly I think we should stick together and pose as human travelers who knows what kind of danger we could be in if people actually knew we were time lord. And hey safety in numbers right"
"So Egypt or Greece?"
"Greece definitely I planned my next degree in politics and the Greeks were bloody amazing." I was about to start rambling when Cook burst in
"Oh my, has there been some muff munching action why did no one invite me" he wiggled his eyebrows as he spoke.
"Fuck off" I said with a scowl on my face one that Cook was very familiar with. "There is no muff munching action here am I not allowed to be friends with girls Cook." He just laughed
"Of course not Blondie how can you be a proper lezzer if you're not getting any hot muff action with your attractive lady friends."
Unbelievable he really is sometimes, but I love him all the same he's a good friend and loyal to the bitter end. For the next two hours we met up and went out to dinner. It was a nice little hole in the wall diner we talked and shared laughs and made memories. Effy Cook and I went out for a fag after dinner before we left.
"Are you ready for this Blondie Ancient Greece I'm ready to shag all day and night those Greeks are fit." Cook elegant as always
"Of course I am hopefully we'll find Pandora there because some of the ancient wonders aren't so interesting to me. Plus I really want to go to the future we can visit the past later but I just want to be immersed in technology for a little while and I want to know more about time lords and the answers will be in the future I reckon."
"Answers are found in the past." Was all Effy contributed to the conversation. We chatted for a bit longer then got back to the TARDIS and started getting ready to make our way to Ancient Greece.
"Alright all buckle your seatbelts and get ready we're going to 430 BC Greece to see what all the fuss is about with the statue of Zues" everyone bustled about then I realized I needed to make sure everyone knew what to do. "JJ I want you on secondary navigation make sure we've got the correct coordinates, Effy take secondary engines, Cook and Freddie take the main engines, and I'm on primary navigation everyone got it." They all looked at me shocked at the way I just took the lead but it felt right. I was the captain of my ship I was the bloody leader of this group of misfits orphaned from our culture with no choice but to make our own and hope we could understand our biology enough to finally understand what it means to be a time lord. Everyone did as they were told and we eventually got to what we hoped was the Greece in 430 BC. I ran through a checklist.
"Effy time check"
"Its 428 BC and we're at Olympus the statue isn't up yet so we're good"
"JJ run a scan for other TARDIS tech"
"Um Naomi this is a bit odd there are two matches one is faint but the other reading is very strong, stronger than a normal TARDIS should read." With that there was a shake, lights started going out and we were moving.
"What the fuck is going on Cook Freddie what is happening?" I said with a hint of panic in my voice
"We don't know it just started up, we're working on it"
A few seconds later we stopped.
Effy broke the silence "Naomi we're in the same time same area I don't know why we moved."
JJ was the next "I believe I know why we moved we're right next to the other TARDIS it's like we the ship couldn't bear to be apart from the other any longer, maybe they're related."
"Okay so let's check it out Cook and I will go out, Ef I connected your pen to my screwdriver so if we run into any problem at all we can signal each other. We'll be back in 10 minutes max."
"Brilliant." Effy responded that was her way of agreeing with me I suppose.
Cook and I left the TARDIS we were stepping on a ground that had long gone and into a moment that had long since died but we got to live it we got to live every day in moments yet to come or past every moment in history could be our present the possibilities were endless. We only had to walk a few feet before we saw something I thought I'd have to search years for a big blue police box. This was not real there was no way that the first trip we made we would run into the Doctor. Something in me changed felt more complete even more drawn to the Doctor than I had before. Cook and I looked at each other hope filled our eyes and as the same thoughts seemed to be running through our heads as we sprinted to the door. We knocked but nobody answered. I tried to use my screwdriver but obviously it was deadlock sealed so we went back to our ship with a good news bad news scenario.
"Well good news the TARDIS belongs to the Doctor" I said as Cook and I entered my ship "bad news is he's not there at the moment."
Nobody seemed to be listening they were all staring at the monitor with shocked expressions
"You two need to see this." Freddie said so we went over to the monitor and what I saw blew my mind the statue of Zeus WAS A BLOODY SPACESHIP
Next chapter Emily and some Greek Gods, i promise within the next two chapters we're going to have some Naomily. Hope you enjoyed this chapter if you did let me know :P
