Chapter Seven

"W-w-what are your plans then D-d-deimos?" Aymes stuttered

"Well, Aymes, I have something special in store for our Ollphéist Álainn…" Deimos replied smugly

"And, what is it?"

Deimos strode over to his desk and picked up a dart that had a little vial of a silvery liquid inside it

"This, my friend… this amazing little liquid will render her completely helpless"

"How?" Aymes asked excitedly

"Well, all one needs to do, is shoot the bitch with this. It will bind her powers, therefore making capturing her MUCH easier!"

"Deimos, you are a genius!"

"I know Aymes, I know"


Tahliah woke up in an empty bed. Groaning, she rolled over to see a little note on the pillow

'Happy Birthday my Lili! Hurry up and get ready! Love, your Doctor'

Smiling, she practically jumped out of bed and went to have a shower and got ready. She ran into the living room with a massive grin on her face.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Shouted the Doctor, Jack, Kairi and Seth.

The living room was decorated with a vast array of balloons, banners and flowers.

"Wow, I feel loved!" Tahliah laughed

After they'd all had breakfast, Jack went and got all of Tahliah's cards and presents and placed them in the middle of the floor.

Tahliah literally squealed with delight.

"Right, first two are from me and Kairi" Jack said as he passed two presents and a card over to Tahliah.

"Two? Wow!" Tahliah smiled as she opened the first present, which was a brand new pair of purple headphones.

"Oh my god! I didn't think you'd get me these!" she squealed with delight as she ran over and practically jumped on Jack and Kairi, giving them both a bear hug

"Woh, you've not opened the other one yet!" Kairi laughed as Tahliah dove across to grab the other present and ripped open the paper. When she opened it, tears started to well in her eyes.

"Oh it's beautiful! This is going pride of place on my bedside table" she smiled as she held the present in her hands. It was a photograph of her and the Doctor laughing together, completely unaware that they were having their photo taken. She gave Jack and Kairi another massive bear hug.

"Right, here's my present!" Seth said as he passed the gift over to Tahliah, who immediately ripped open the paper to find a pair of shoes she'd been after for months.

"SETH I FUCKING LOVE YOU!" She squealed as she tried on her shoes. They were a cream colour with a peacock feather printed on them.

"Now for the 'grand finale'!" Jack smiled and nudged the Doctor.

"Huh?" said Tahliah, looking a bit confused

"Here, this is from me" The Doctor smiled nervously as he passed her the small box

"You got me a present? Is that why you and Kairi were all hush-hush the other week?" Tahliah smiled

"Maaayyyyybbeeeee….." Kairi replied

Tahliah took her time with opening her present from the Doctor. She opened the box and she was shocked. The Doctor smiled and Tahliah gave him a massive hug and kiss.

"It's beautiful! I'm guessing Kairi told you I liked this one?"

"That she did… Look on the back"

Tahliah turned the pendant over to find engraved on the back

My Dearest Lili,

All my love, now and forever,

Your Doctor

Xxx

Tahliah couldn't stop smiling as she held the pendant, constantly muttering 'it's beautiful'

"Take it you like it then?" The Doctor asked

"Like it? I love it! This is by far the best birthday I've ever had! I love you guys so much!" Tahliah grinned as she put the pendant on. It fitted perfectly and seemed to shimmer as it rested on her skin.

The next few hours were spent lazing around watching films until the evening when they opened the bar for Tahliah's birthday party. They had decorated the bar with balloons and banners whilst Seth set up music for the night.

Tahliah went to her bedroom to get ready for her party. She was feeling slightly nervous and sat down on her bed as the Doctor came in.

"Hey birthday girl, you ok?" he grinned as he sat down on the bed next to her.

"Yeah, I'm just well, not used to having all this attention, it's a bit weird!" she smiled slightly.

"Well, come one! I do love a good party, plus I kind of erm, wanted to talk to you…"

"Oh yeah? What about?"

"Well, you know how we haven't, well…"

"Had sex?" Tahliah laughed slightly at the Doctors embarrassment

"Yes, erm, that… well, you do know that when we erm, do, the things that will occur afterwards? I, well, want to take the next step but I want things to be perfect and I want you to feel ready…" the Doctor said hurriedly

Tahliah took his face in her hands and kissed him gently

"I am ready my Doctor. Tonight, would well, make this day perfect"

"Really? Well, I think we shouldn't get too drunk tonight in that case" He winked and kissed her on the cheek. Tahliah laughed and carried on getting ready.

"What are you wearing tonight?" She asked him

"Erm, well, Jack has told me not to wear my usual 'get up' as he put it"

"Aawww, well don't worry, I got you a t shirt that will do just as well!" Tahliah smiled as she pulled out a pale blue t shirt with a bow tie and tuxedo style jacket printed on it

"I love it! I can wear this with the jeans that Jack gave me!" The Doctor jumped around like a little kid at the idea he could still technically wear a bow tie. He stopped as he turned around and saw Tahliah was just in her underwear. She looked up at him and cocked her eyebrow.

"What? You've seen me naked already!"

"Erm, I don't know. I guess I'll leave you to it before I well… yes… I'll get ready in the TARDIS" the Doctor said sheepishly as he felt the tightness in his trousers forming. He turned on his heels and all but ran to the TARDIS, leaving Tahliah in her underwear laughing.
