Three Months Later- July 1969
"Savannah," Canton had her cornered in a Chinese Garden in Portland . Her black streaks had gone, her clothes were messy, she was scared, and she missed her Clever Idiot. "You've been a hard one to track down."
"It was fun while it lasted." She said sarcastically as he motioned to the agent next to him. He put a body bag on the ground.
"Sure was. Good-bye Savy." She shut her eyes and heard his gun go off. She felt the impact and then she was gone, and there was only blackness.
Area 51-Nevada
The Doctor glared at Canton as he had his men drag in three body bags.
"Is there a reason you're doing this?" He asked. The body bag with Savannah in it was placed directly at his feet.
"I want you to know where you stand."
"In a cell." The Doctor snapped.
"In a perfect cell. Nothing can penetrate these walls. Not a sound. Not a radio wave. Not the tiniest partical of anything. In here you're literally sealed off from the rest of the universe." He sealed the door. "So I guess they can't here us, right?"
"Good work, Canton. Door sealed?"
"You bet."
Savannah, Amy and Rory all sat up in their body bags, gasping for air. The Doctor stood, shaking off the chains and straitjacket he'd been wearing for three months.
Rory got out of the bag first, and the Doctor grabbed his face as he panted.
"These things coud do with air holes."
"Never had a complaint before."
"Oi! You didn't need to actually shoot me! I liked this shirt," She looked down at the huge spot of blood on her shirt.
"They were getting suspicious when none of you bled." Canton shrugged. "At least your cells regenerate."
"At least." Savannah went over and helped Amy out.
"Oh, Finally."
The Doctor stood and began stretching as everyone stood.
"Aren't they going to find it odd you're in here with us?" Amy asked as Savannah Raised her arms, cracking her back and shoulders.
"Odd, but not alarming. They know nothing can get out of this place."
The Doctor snapped his suspenders. "Exactly! They know whatever we're doing in here, we're not going anywhere!" He toppled over, leaning against the invisible TARDIS.
"Oh hello, beautiful," Savannah smiled. "I've missed you, darling."
"Do you need to be alone?" The Doctor grinned
"Nope. I'm comfortable with you watching, Doctor."
"Oh come on! Three months and you're still mad at me?"
"Have you figured out why yet?"
"No,"
"Then yes, I'm still mad at you." She turned to Amy and Rory. "Shall we?" The TARDIS opened her doors. The Doctor rolled his eyes and entered after them, Canton bringing up the rear.
"What about Dr. Song? She dove off a building!"
"Don't worry. That's normal."
"She's out there, Amy, Rory, open all the doors to the swiming pool! Savannah, open the front door!"
Just as Savannah opened the door, River came flying through, landing in the pool with a splash. Savannah handed her a towel wordlessly.
"So we know they're everywhere. Not just a landing party, an occupying force. And they've been here a very, very long time-"
"Breath," Savannah inturrpted. He took a deep breath then took up where he left off.
"But nobody knows that because you can remember that RORY! Do you still have those buttons?"
"Yes, Why?" He handed them to the Doctor.
"Savannah!" She simply held out her hand, reading a book. He dropped them into her palm.
She saw the life of the creatures through the eyes of Clairsentience. She dropped them back into the Doctors palm.
"Now Savannah will remember seeing them. But only Savannah. Because she just lived through the life of one of those things."
"So what are they up to?" Canton asked them both. Savannah shrugged.
"World domination?"
"Honestly no idea, but the good news is, we have a secret weapon."
He opened the doors of the TARDIS and walked out. Everyone followed him and saw Apollo 11.
"This is your secret weapon?"
"No, not Apollo 11, that's just silly. It's Neil armstrongs foot." He smiled.
"His foot?" He gave Savannah a look.
"Ohhhhh. I get it." She laughed, "Clever."
"I know!" His grin grew.
"I'm still mad."
"Damn it!"
He dragged them back into the TARDIS and put recording devices in everyone's hand's except for Savannah.
"If the light is flashing, it means you've had an encounter." Savannah explained as she pulled a lever.
Canton turned around and saw a creature standing there.
"My God! How did it get in here?" Canton asked.
"Keep eye contact with the creature, and when I say turn back. And when I do, straighten my bow-tie." The Doctor told him. Canton turned back. He straghtened the bow-tie.
"What?" He asked, seeing everyone looking at him. "What are you staring at?"
"Look at your hand," River said. Canton looked down and saw the red light flashing.
"Why is it doing that?"
"What does it mean when the light is flashing? What did I just tell you?" Savannah asked urgently.
"I haven't-"
"Play it," The Doctor cut him off.
The last fifteen seconds were played back through the recorder.
"It's a hologram extrapolated from the image on Amy's phone. Now take a good hard look." The Doctor shut the hologram off. "You just saw an image of the creature we're fighting. Describe it to me."
"I can't" Canton shook his head.
"Neither can I. Savannah, what does it look like?"
"Big, grey, suit, though." She replied instantly. "You straghtened the Doctor's bow-tie because he planted the idea in your head while you were looking at the creature."
"So they can do that to people?" Amy asked. "They can make you do things and you won't really know why you're doing it?"
"Like post-hypnotic suggestion." Rory supplied.
"Ruling the world with post hypnotic suggestion." Amy sighed.
"Now, a little girl in a spacesuit. They got the Spacesuit from NASA but where did they get the girl?"
"Could be anywhere, Doctor," Canton exclaimed.
"They probably stayed close to the warehouse," Savannah muttered.
"Because why bother doing anything else." The Doctor nodded. "They also probably took her from the place that would cause the least amount of tension. But you'll have to find her. I'm off to NASA with Savannah."
"Great,"She sighed sarcastically, waving at Canton and Amy.
"Wait, where do we look?" Canton asked before the Doctor threw them out.
"Children's Homes."
Amy and Canton left, and Rory left int the TARDIS with River. That left Savannah and the Doctor sitting in Apollo 11. The Doctor was messing with wires, and Savannah was sitting there awkwardly.
"So why am I here."
"You're jealous, and I thought it best not to let you be with River."
"I'm not jealous!"
"Rory told me about the fire, Savannah. Green is envy and don't you dare deny it."
"Fine, I won't." Savannah looked away from him angrily.
"Why are you jealous of River, Princess?"
"Theta she has everything. She knows EVERYTHING. I only know what the TARDIS tells me, because you hardly even talk to me about that kind of stuff! She knows your real name!"
"And in time, so will you. You're the only one who's aloud to call me Clever Idiot. You're the only one who can call me Theta Sigma anymore. You're the only one who can call me Doc and actually get away with it. You're the only one I let into the TARDIS without a second thought. You're the only one who she even talks to. Savannah, that means something."
Savannah stayed silent. The Doctor sighed, and then his earpiece beeped.
"Amy?...How do you know?...Repeated memory wipes fry your head eventually. Find whatever you can but DON'T hang around..."
Savannah was suddenly pulled to her feet.
"Uh, Theta," She warned.
"Gotta go I've got company." He put the earpiece away, and slammed the compartment away, facing the men holding Savannah. "Don't worry I've put everything back the way I found it." He looked down at the wire in his hand. "'Cept this...Always a bit left over, isn't there?"
They grabbed the Doctor too, and took them to what looked like a physics classroom. Savannah had managed to get the men to let her go, and was now holding the TARDIS key in her hand, trying to get the message across that they needed some assistance.
"Now one more time, Sir," The NASA Security said sternly to the Doctor. "How did you get into the command module?"
"I told you, I'm on a top secret mission for the president!" The Doctor replied. He brought the handcuffs up to his mouth and bit the chain.
"Like that'll help it Theta, you'll just break your teeth." Savannah dropped the TARDIS key and walked over to him, her own hand in cuffs. She gently pulled the chain from between his teeth. "Now stop it. Be good."
"Maybe you should just get President Nixon to assure us of that, sir," The man mocked. "That would be swell!"
"I sent him a message," The Doctor said, smiling at Savannah.
Savannah looked to the door. It opened, revealing President Nixon walked through, Rory and River dressed up in suits, entering behind him. The Doctor waved.
"Hello. I believe it's Mr. Gardener, correct? Head of security?"
"Yes sir. Yes Mr. President!"
"Mr. Grant, is it?"
"Yes Mr. President!" The other security man looked like a kid in a candy shop.
"The hopes and dreams of millions of Americans stand here today, in Cape Kennedy. And you're the men who gaurd these dreams. On the behave of the American people, I thank you."
"You're welcome, Mr. President." Gardener said proudly.
"I understand you have a baby on the way Mr. Grant."
"Yes Mr. President!" Grant replied.
The Doctor held his hands up to Savannah, a pleading look in his eyes.
She rolled her eyes and moved so he could place his hands to her face.
'How'd you know that?'
'Same way I talk to the TARDIS. I read their minds. Then I transfered the info to Rory, and he told the Prez.' Savannah broke off the connection immediately after that.
"What are you hoping for? A boy or a girl?" The president asked.
"Just a healthy American, sir," Grant replied.
Nixon laughed. "A healthy American will do. Just. Nicely" He punched Grant twice in the shoulder. Savannah covered her mouth to hide her giggles.
"Now fellas, This man here, and that girl there, Codenames the Doctor and his Princess." Savannah coughed, glaring. "Sorry, the Princess. They're doing some work for me personally. Could you, uh, cut them a little slack."
"Uh, Mr. President, they did break into Apollo 11." Gardener said, sheepishly. The President stared at them. They both pointed fingers at eachother. Savannah glared at him and The Doctor pointed at himself, mouthing 'Sorry'
"Well, I-I-I I'm sure they had a very good reason for that. But I need you to release them now so they can do some very important work for the American people. Could you do that for me."
Both men paused.
"Well..."
"Son, I am your commander in cheif," The president stated.
"Well then I guess that would be fine, Mr. President."
"Glad to hear it," Nixon smiled and crossed his arms.
An MP unlocked Savannah and the Doctors handcuffs.
"Thank you," The Doctor mockingly shook the mens hands. "Buh-bye." He snapped and pointed at the President.
"IDIOT!" Savannah called, stomping after him, pausing only to salute the President.
"Carry on gentleman," Nixon said awkwardly.
Savannah stormed into the TARDIS, taking off her shoe and whipping it at the Doctor.
"You put me at risk of being arrested. ARRESTED. THETA I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"No you're not." He caught her swinging fist. Rory walked in to see this.
"Where's your shoe?"
"Don't ask me!"
"River, bring the TARDIS back to the oval office. I need to talk to Savannah. Privately."
"No," Savannah tried to get her arm back, but failed miserably.
"Yes. Come on." He pulled her up the stairs and into one of the many corridors of the TARDIS. They changed as soon as they entered, bringing them to where Savannah had slept the very first night in the TARDIS.
The Doctor pushed open the door with the Pink Gillyflower and Gardenia flowers on it. Savannah stormed in and sat on the bed with the purple and black checkerd print bed spread.
The Doctor slammed the door, and the people in the consol room heard that.
"What is the matter with you, Savannah." She stayed silent. "Savannah. Tell me. Tell me because it's making you upset, and you're keeping it pent up inside. It's changing you."
Savannah couldn't tell him the reason. It was his own timeline. She just couldn't tell him the only reason she was mad at him was because she'd watched him die.
"Savannah!"
"I CAN'T TELL YOU!" She shouted, she turned away from him so he wouldn't see the tears in her eyes. She felt him sit on the bed.
"Oh, Savannah. Please, you can tell me anything."
"No," She shook her head. "Not this. I can't tell you this. It's a time thing. You understand? So I can't tell you. Trust me when I say that I can't. I'm sorry I'm taking it out on you. I just can't help it."
He made her face him. The Doctors hearts broke at the tears falling down her face. Savannah thought for a second she caught some of that look she'd seen in the eyes of Future-Doctor.
"Oh Savannah. Whatever happened I'm sorry that it did." He whiped her tears away. "And I do trust you, Savannah. With my life. That's why I went on this crazy mission in the first place. Leather jackets that smell like vanilla remember?"
"I'll always remember, even though you kind of smell like jammie dodgers now," She crinkled her nose.
He smiled at her.
"There's my Princess." The TARDIS hummed. "I think we're there."
"Yeah."
