Chapter 8: A Day on The TARDIS

Disclaimer::::: I DO NOT OWN ANY RIGHTS TO THIS STORY, JUST RAINE/ALAURA BECAUSE SHE IS MY CHARACTER AND THE PLOT FOR THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS. THEM'S BE MY IDEAS! EVERYTHIN ELSE BELONGS TO HE GREAT MOFFAT, BECAUSE HE IS JUST A BAMF-Y BOSS!


Raine, as she told the Doctor she preferred to be called, was currently lounging in the pool, which was in the library, why it was there, she had no idea. She had been on the Doctors TARDIS for about a day and a half and they had yet to actually go any place. Donna was kinda annoyed by that, she really wanted to go someplace nice and relaxing for once, but the Doctor had yet to pick a place. For now though, they were relaxing and regrouping in the TARDIS, each of them doing their own things.

The Doctor was tinkering with the TARDIS, fixing small things here and there. Donna could be found in her room or sometimes she would come down and join Raine in the pool, or she would sit in the kitchen and read. It was nice though, talking to someone, she hasn't done that in a while and Raine really liked it.

She sighed and rested her head against the tile and looked at the ceiling, as much as she loved being in this TARDIS, she was missing hers, that was her home, and now it was repairing, and changing. She didn't like this feeling of uncertainty and well, boredom. Because that's what she was and it was annoying her. She wanted to do something, 'anything', hell she would even agree to go running through some crazy mutated jungle or even be chased by native people because the Doctor did something to annoy them. Right now, she would accept 'anything'.

Unfortunately, the Doctor had yet to say where they would be going, he was probably giving her time to get over her TARDIS's near death, and she was thankful for that. With one last sigh, she lifted her self out of the pool, grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself before grabbing a smaller one and drying her hair with it. She slipped into a pair of flip flops and walked from the library and down the hall, only to be run into by the Doctor.

They landed on the floor in a tangle of limbs, and she had somehow managed to keep the towel wrapped around her, thank Rassilon!

"Ah, Raine! I was just coming to look for you! See, I just figured out the perfect place to go! I think you'd love it, and I think Donna would love it as well, she likes to dress up you know and this would be the perfect place for her to dress up! 'Course, I'm not going to dress up, never have to, just have to walk around like I own the place and no one notices. That's kinda of sad though, would be nice to dress up, haven't done that," the Doctor babbled, not even realizing that they were tangled on the floor and she was soaking wet and half naked and laying half on top of him.

"Doctor," she said, but he was still babbling and hadn't heard her. She sighed and tried to untangle her limbs but the Doctor just wasn't budging, she did manage to untangle her arms from under him and propped herself up on her arm and placed her chin on her hand and stared boredly at him as she kept her towel firmly to her body.

After a while, the Doctor stopped talking and looked at her, "Why are you looking at me like that, and why are you in a towel?"

"'Bout time you stopped talking, your gob was making me sleepy. I was in the pool for your information, when you ran into me, and now I can't feel my legs, and I would really like to move them now," Raine said, raising an eyebrow at him.

The tips of his ears turned pink, "Er, right, yeah, okay." It took them a minute to become untangled and for Raine to put back on her flip flops and grab her other towel.

"So, where are we going?" Raine asked as she threw her other towel on her shoulder. She no longer needed it, now that her hair was dry.

"I was thinking a festival, or even another planet. Or maybe even to a party on another planet. Think Donna'll like it?" he asked as he messed with his suit.

Raine shrugged, "Maybe, I know I just want to get into some clothes, we'll talk about this later, yeah?"

He nodded, "Sure."

She gave him a small smile before walking around him and back down the hall to her room. Shower, clothes, venting to the TARDIS, and not necessarily in that order.


Donna was bored. Bored to death and tired of being stuffed up in the TARDIS and not going anywhere. The Doctor promised her adventure, granted, she did get some adventure, she really wanted to go someplace else. She loved talking to Raine, but she could tell that the Time Lady was getting tired of being stuck in the TARDIS as well.

Donna sighed as she closed the book in her hands and set it down on the table and leaned back in the chair and crossed her arms. She glared at the cabinet and contemplated throwing her book at it before she thought better of it. It wasn't the TARDIS's fault that they hadn't gone anywhere, it was the driver's, and the driver was starting to get on her nerves. She stood up from her seat and walked over to the fridge and pulled out a fizzy looking drink. She twisted the cap off and took a drink.

There was only so much crazy she could handle a day, and she was really close to being fed up with it. She missed her Grandad, oh, she wished he could see the things she had seen, he would love this. Maybe she should call him later, he'd like that. Donna pushed off the counter and left the kitchen, her drink in hand as she thought of what she should do today.


He couldn't believe he ran into Alaura, more importantly, he couldn't believe he didn't realize that she wasn't wearing anything either! Rassilion this regeneration was oblivious! How long had she been staring at him while he was talking? Did he really talk that much? Course he did, Rose had said he did, and she'd knew better than anyone if he did.

The Doctor sighed and looked up at the grating, he was laying on the floor under it staring up at it. He needed to think, and this was where he came when he needed to think about things. He reached a hand up and touched a wire and sighed again. He was over thinking things again, and when he over thought things, his mind tended to warp his thoughts in a negative way and cause him to panic. He ran a hand over his face and growled softly, the TARDIS hummed in response, trying to comfort her lonely traveler.

"Yes, I know, I know. I need to calm down, but its hard, she's here and I haven't seen her in ages, how am I supposed to act around her now? We didn't exactly end off on happy terms," he said laying his hands on his stomach. The TARDIS hummed beneath him and he smiled slightly. "If I could act like how I used to when I was around her, don't you think I would be?"

The lights above his head flashed angrily. "Oh hush, I'm trying, okay? It's just a bit hard." The TARDIS made a huffing sound. "Oi! I have not been avoiding her! I've been letting her coupe and well, mourn a bit. So don't tell me I've been avoiding her."

The TARDIS hummed. "What do you mean just talk to her? She might not even want to talk to me about anything!"

The TARDIS sent a small shock to her thief, and when he jumped slightly and glared at her, she laughed. "That was not funny. And now, I'm not going to talk to you."

The TARDIS hummed, amused at his antics. Okay, he can chose not to talk to her, that's fine, let's see if they land where he wants them to tomorrow. Besides, he wasn't the only one she could talk to, Alaura was here, and she could understand her. That was all that mattered.


A/N: Okay, sorry for the total caps at the begingning (totally spelled that wrong, and i dont care) anyway... yeah, this might be the last update for 'Hello Again', just for a while, I am NOT discontinuing te story, I just want to get a few more chapters typed out before I start posting/publishing more chapters.
