"Bella come in, its warm!" I called to her, she shook her head as she was drawn into one of the alien books.
"Please?" I asked. She looked at me and then her head was back in the book. Right! I thought as I swam to the stairs and quietly tip-toed around Bella. Me, wet and dripping, I threw the book to the other side of the room, it landed very close to the pool. I grinned at my achievements.
"Now are you going in?" I asked, she huffed at me as she leaped up and grab her book. I followed her and said. "You do know your incredibly close to the edge of the pool?" I asked,
"Yeah." she replied.
"You going in or do I have to push you?" I grinned as I grabbed her waist
"No I'll go in." she shouted.
"I don't believe that." I said as picked her up bridal style before rocking her over the water.
"No! Please!" she shouted shocked.
"One." I said as I rocked her forwards.
"NOOOOOO!" she cried, kicking her legs like a baby.
"Two." I grinned.
"Please!" she cried hard as she hit me.
"THREE." I shouted as I threw her in, she screamed before she hit the water with a splash. Her head popped up above the surface and I jumped in by her, well when I said jumped I meant doing a cannon ball right by her as I shouted Geronimo. When I came up to the surface, Bella had swam to the shallow end and sat on the side, dripping. Her clothes were drenched and her hair held a lot of water. She looked down, as she made circles in the water with her feet. I swam to her and stood up, I was as tall as her, just a little shorter just by an inch or two.
"Hey Swan you didn't tell me you were a natural on water." I smiled.
"Yeh." she replies clearly upset.
"Bella." I sighed as I tilted her head up. She stared at me upset before her frown turned upside down.
"Gotcha." she laughed. Me, completely shocked splashed her with water.
"Good one." I smiled as I stared in her eyes. I moved in and I kissed her wet red lips, perfect as always. My hands rapped held her cold waist as her arms wrapped around my neck. We pulled away and smiled at each other before are noses touched.
"Doctor," Bella smiled.
"Yes."
"Why do people leave you?" she asked.
"They move on with there life's, find somebody, etc." I replied, trying to smile.
"But why would you want to leave all this?" She grinned as she looked up, I looked up as well. "I mean, I'm in a library with a swimming pool in, in space!" she laughed.
"Weird isn't it?" I asked her, she nodded with a smile. She kissed me again before she pulled away leaving me breathless for a while. She giggled before she got up. I smiled at her.
"Let me get my swimming stuff on and I'll be right down." she grinned, I nodded as I saw her walk away, dripping and making a trail of water where ever she went.
10minutes later, she opened the door and walked in with a towel around her and a bright red costume on.
"Woah, Bella." I replied shocked.
"I now it's ugly." she sighed. I pulled myself out of the pool and hugged her. "Wait!" she replied holding me back. She threw her towel on the chair and then said.
"Ok." I smiled as I hugged her. "You jumping in?" She asked.
"Of course," I replied as I stood at the side.
"Three, Two, One!" she called I jumped in, I appeared at the surface with Bella laughing at me.
"You jumped in!" she exclaimed as she sat on the side.
"Yes I did." then something pushed Bella and she splashed into the water.
"What on earth was that?" She asked, I stared at her scared face.
"I don't know." I replied, "Anyway." I grinned as I kissed her.
"Hello Sweetie." i heard a woman say, and just by that phrase, I knew it was River.
"Am I interrupting something?" I pulled away to look at the lady and it was River. I smiled at her embarrassed.
"I...Err.." I stuttered. Bella looked down, embarrassed.
"How long have you been here?" I asked her.
"Long enough." she replied as she sat down. I rolled my eyes.
"River, it's nice to see you and everything, but... How do I put it? Why have you come?" I asked.
"See how things were going," she answered,
"Well everythings fine." I moaned.
"I'm not taking that as an answer." she said before she ran up to the controls.
"Sorry Bells, can we?" I asked. She nodded. "Cheers." I said as I kissed her forehead and jumped out of the pool and grabbed my towel.
"River," I moaned as I greeted her at the controls.
"Doctor, is there a problem?" she asked.
"No..urm...yes... Yes there is. The thing is that me and Bella were going to have a chill day y'know?" I questioned. She stared at me and said.
"I'll tell you what, I'll give you an hour to get ready, then I'm throwing you two out. Oh before I forget, party wear." she complained before she disappeared. I looked into mid air for a moment,
"Doctor?" Bella asked, I turned to greet her with a smile.
"Yes."
"What did she want?" she replied as she walked to me.
"Nothing." I replied as I dried my hair. "Now come on, we have an hour to get ready."
55 minutes later...
"Doctor!" Bella called,
"Yea!" I replied.
"Come up here!" she shouted, I ran to her, she looked at her self in the mirror.
"Does this look ok?" she asked as she held her dress up and looked at me, in the black penguin suit and a bow tie, she sniggered.
"Swan, this is all I've got!" I replied to her snigger. Any way, she was wearing a dark purple tight dress that had no sleeves and came down to her knees with a pair of black tights and black converses.
"Soo...Doctor... What's the news?" she asked.
"Beautiful." I replied.
"Ok, zip me up." she asked, I zipped her up then kissed her neck. She grinned and then turned to me. She kissed me until she heard a cough. I pulled away annoyed.
"River!" I moaned. She laughed then said.
"You two look nice." she grinned,
"Arh thanks." Bella chirped "You look great!" she pointed out, I looked at her long red sleeve less dress.
"Yeah you do." I replied.
"Shall we go?" she asked as she clapped her hands.
"Sure." I grinned as I followed her to the controls, she pulled the lever and it began shaking. We held on for are life's.
"Where are we going?" Bells shouted.
"I don't..." then it stopped. "Know."
"Where here." she said.
"We haven't even moved!" I replied.
"Yes we have! I've just landed her." she said
"Doctor you taught me how to drive the TARDIS!" she shouted to me.
"No I haven't!" I stated.
"No but in the future you did." River said, I felt slightly embarrassed.
"But it didn't make the noise you know..." I said
"What noise?" River asked.
"You Know the..." i said before made the noise which the TARDIS makes when it usually lands. They stared like I was an idiot.
"You leave the brakes on! It shouldn't make that noise."
"Well I love that noise!" I replied, she smiled at me but Bella tried to contain her laughter but then she exploded into giggles.
"You are a mad man in a box." Bella laughed.
"Yes I am." I replied grinning, Bella shook her head as she walked to River. I ran over to the doors and looked out side.
"Earth, London, round about 3021, and it's snowing!" I shouted to them as i looked around.
"He thinks he's so cool when he does that." River whispered to Bella, she laughed.
"Oi! And I am cool!" I shouted to her, I heard the girls walk to me. I walked out on the snowy grass, then I heard Bella moaned
"Can I go back please? I'm freezing!" she moaned as she tip toed to the untouched snow. I walked to Bella and grinned, with Bella on one arm and River on the other. We walked around the corner to see an Ood, lying in pain on the hard cold ground. Bella kneeled down by him.
"Hello? Hello. I'm Bella, and this is The Doctor and River." she asked.
"Can you hear me?" she asked. I lent by it and look at it's chest, it had been shot.
"What alien is that?" Bella Asked.
"Ood come from the Ood Sphere close to the Sense Sphere planet, they were raised to slave humans and mostly every human has one." River answered
"They have telepathic abilities with other Oods you can her them as They have a translator device, a small ball connected to their mouths by a tube, well the translator device are there brains." I butted in.
"Can we help it?" Bells asked.
"He is not an 'It'." I replied.
"We got here to late." River whispered., as she looked at the Ood. I switched my eyes between the girls and the Ood, until I heard the Ood say.
"The Circle Must Be Broken." he said as the ball glowed, before his eyes closed.
"What do you mean?" I asked it, as I scanned his body.
"He's gone." Bella whispered as she lent over him, then he snapped up with red eyes.
"Get back!" I shouted as I grabbed Bella's waist and pulled her back, he stared at all of us before he fell backwards and closed his eyes. I soniced his body.
"He's dead." I said
"What was that?" Bells asked.
"Some sort of disease." River replied as she got up. I got up as well, Bella sat by him.
"What should we do with him? We can't just leave him." she said quietly.
"The snow will bury him." I replied, Bella gave the Ood one last look before she stumbled up.
"Shall we carry on?" River asked, until her watch flashed. "Sorry, I have to dash." she smiled as she pressed the button. "Bye Sweetie have fun without me." she grinned.
"Wait, where you going?" Bella asked, she grinned and turned to me
"Bye sweetie." she grinned before she disappeared.
"Bye." me and Bella replied. We walked to the door of a Posh hotel.
"This is where the party starts." Bella smiled at me.
"And the mystery begins." I replied with a smile. We walked in to be greeted by an Ood.
"Welcome." he grinned. "Do you have ID?"
"Hello," I replied. "Yes, Miss Bella and the Doctor, sent here by River Song." I replied as I showed him the blank piece of paper.
"Have a good time." he said as he stepped out of the way. We walked in to a room Ood's carrying trays of food and drinks to people, chatting to friends and strangers. We sat down in the corner of the room watching. Then a lady walk on stage all eyes were on her.
"Welcome to the Ood convention 3021." The lady smiled, "Please welcome, the head of the international Ood company, Mr. Dale!" she exclaimed before the whole room started to clap as Mr. Dale walked on with an Ood following him.
"Thank you Miss Stanley," he said as he hogged the mic. "I would like to welcome you all to the international Ood Company," he boomed. "Please look around at the exhibits on show."
"There for sale?" Bella asked me. I nodded
"Exhibits range from the basic Ood which is £200. But for another £50 you can have a personalised voice, for instance, if you've had a bad day at work." he waked over to an Ood.
"Care for some...assistance?" the Ood replied in a women's voice, the whole room laughed, accept me and Bella.
"Or just for a laugh," he said as he walked to another Ood. "Ood, you've dropped something." he grinned.
"D'OH!" the Ood replied as the room was in fits of laughter. I looked at Bella who was clearly gob smacked.
"And many more. Please Come to me or Miss Stanley if have any questions." he grinned, "Thank you for your time." he replied before he and Miss Stanley walked off. I shot off my seat in a flash.
"Where are you going?" Bella asked as she ran to me.
"You heard the man, any questions go to him." I replied as I walked to him. I pushed people out of the way and said.
"John Smith and Bella Swan, sent by River Song. We saw an Ood dying on the snow. He had been shot. When it died he sprung back up with red eyes, why?" I asked him, he grinned wickedly before he said.
"Red eye, just a little problem with the Ood but the ones that are for sale haven't got it." he smirked "Did you say that you were sent here by River Song?" he asked.
"Us? Noo...Not us." I replied.
"Don't lie! She's one of your best friends!" Bella exclaimed.
"You were meant to go long with it." I replied.
"Oops." she replied.
"Oops indeed, guards arrest them." he shouted, as two body guard stepped from behind them and grabbed are arms and forced them behind our backs.
"Shall we throw 'em with the Ood sir?" the body guard who held Bella said.
"No, just the Girl." he replied. "The man knows his stuff."
"I know my stuff too!" Bella shouted at him, he snorted.
"Take her before I do something to her and she won't like it, cause it's been along time." he grinned. I looked at Mr. Dale in pour anger. I knew what that sick man was thinking.
"NO!" I shouted. "YOU WON'T DO THAT!" I shouted again.
"Oh but I will." he smirked as they took Bella away. "If the girl doesn't do what I say or you! Any harsh movements or foul language, the pretty girl will get it." he smirked harder,
"Swear to god!" I shouted at him.
"Calm down, she'll be fine, unless they have red eye." he grinned as the man pushed her forward.
"BELLA! DONT WORRY I'LL COME FOR YOU!" I shouted to her as the guard turned the corner.
"Shall we carry this on in my office?" he grinned, I stared at him with hate in my eyes.
"Fancy a drink sir?" the Ood asked, Mr. Dale grabbed the glass and knocked it down.
"Work, stress, making me loose my hair." he frowned. "Come on, I don't want a big fuss, Miss. Stanley, entertain the guests." he shouted as he walked away, without an option I followed him.
Bella's P.O.V
I got pushed into a cadge with about 20 Ood looking down at the floor.
"You heard the man, but to be honest, you are a really good looking girl, maybe I'll have you instead." the guard laughed, and that was when I became scared, he locked the door and laughed a he walked away. I heard the door slam before the Ood looked at me.
"Hello I'm Bella." I said. "I mean you no harm. I'm your friend, like The Doctor and River." I replied. They still looked at me. "Are you ok?" I asked as I placed my hand on his shoulder they looked down then I heard quiet singing I listened. I looked at the Ood and in there hands was a pink ball, connected to there mouths with a red and pink tube.
"Oh god are you ok?" I asked as I walked forward, they snapped there heads up and stared at me hard. I backed off. "Sorry." I replied.
"Hurry up doctor." I whispered as I gazed out of the cell in too nothingness.
Doctors P.O.V
After being tied on to a chair, I sat impatiently watching Mr. Dale as he circled me. I saw Bella in a cadge with the Ood. She looked scared, which was odd.
"John Smith, that Isn't your real name is it?" he asked me.
"Yes it is!" I snapped back.
"Tell the truth or else, she will come to me and you will never see her again, well not the way she looks now at least."
"Ok! Ok!" I shouted. "I'm the Doctor." I hissed.
"Doctor." he said as he crouched to my level. "Do you know anything about River Song?" he asked. I looked away.
"Answer!" he shouted before he hit me. I looked down, in hate as I felt blood oozing out of my top lip onto my bottom lip and down my chin. "Not talking huh?" he grinned. He turned his ear pieace on and said. "Bring the Girl."
"Wait! She never told me who she was." I said. He grinned.
"What about the Girl, Bella?" he asked, I looked at him in the face.
"She doesn't no her either." I replied.
"Still bring her." he smirked.
"NO!" I begged. "She won't harm you!"
"Pity cause I will. Let's have a race, the man who gets to the girl first wins her." he grinned at me. "If I win, I have her, if you win you have her." he smirked. "Deal?" he asked.
"Deal!" I spat, but there was me jumping to conclusions. How could I get out of this chair! He walked out with his body guards behind him.
"Ood please help me!" I begged.
"Cannot except orders from somebody else." he replied, i struggled to get free, I jumped and I shook but couldn't get free.
"Doctor Donna." I said quietly, Then the Ood was behind me. Helping me out.
"Thank-You!" I smiled.
"Hurry Doctor." he replied. I searched around the room until I saw something.
"Your over 100 years old, what are you doing hear?" I talked to the Segway. "But your as good as ever!" I said as I hopped on. "Still hope I can drive on off these things." I smiled as I lent forward letting me go super-fast.
Bella's p.o.v.
I sat on the floor looking into darkness, wishing for the doctor. Then I heard footprints and talking. I stood up and looked around. Then Mr. Dale was in front of me.
"Bella we are going to have a fun time aren't we?" he grinned, I snarled at him before I spat in his face, not lady like but it would keep him off me. He wiped the spit off his face and stared at me. He shoved the door opened and pulled me out.
"I was going to let you see the doctor but he is booked."
he hissed in my ear as he grabbed my dress. I whimpered as he dug his nails into my back, through his laughter, I heard another moaning sound, more like a car and threw out the darkness out jumped the doctor, on a Segway.
"A patient dropped so The Doctor can see you now!" he shouted as he pulled me up on the Segway, but as the doctor grabbed my arm, Mr. Dale still had my dress. He pulled a chunk off my dress, I gasped as I felt the coldness on my back. I wrapped my arm around the doctor and the other on the back off my dress.
"How did you find me?" I asked,
"We had a race to save you," he replied. "The person who won, saved you and... You know how it works." he said.
"Well actually no I don't." I replied.
"Tell you later." he said, about 5 minutes later we were at an office. I'm thinking it's Mr. Dales. The doctor locked us in and we jumped off, the doctor rushed grabbing everything and placing it by the door so he couldn't get in.
"Right." he grinned. I sat on the floor, holding my dress. "Swan what happened?" he asked as he sat down by me.
"When you pulled me up, he had my dress and he's ripped it." I frowned as I saw the doctor scuttle to see my back.
"That's not the only thing, He's cut your back." he said, I heard a clanking sound as he took his belt off and he fastened it around the top half of my dress to keep it up.
"Thanks." I smiled, he took his blazer off and helped me get it on. "Double thanks." I said happily until I saw his swollen lip, cut with dry blood on his face and down his chin.
"What happened to you?" I asked him as I pulled his blazer over my hand and licked it.
"Nothing." he moaned as I dapped his lip .
"Something must have happened." I replied as I wiped his blood of his chin.
"Alright! He hit me." he replied annoyed. NO ONE HURTS THE DOCTOR APART FROM ME!
"Right! That's it I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!" I shouted, as I jumped up.
"Bella..." he moaned as he followed me. "Don't do this, it's bad, very bad..."
"Why?" I shouted as I threw the lamp off his desk which was by the door. "Why us? Why me?" I screamed as I pushed the desk over.
"Swan I wouldn't do that if I was you..." he said as he touched my shoulder, I turned to him.
"Why? Why can't I? Will he send me to bed with out a bed time story?" I shouted before I threw his papers all over the room. "What can he do?" I hissed at the doctor before I pulled the door open and there he stood, the back stabbing heartless mother fucker.
"You!" I shouted as I walked up to him. "You sir are a TWAT!" I screamed at him before I punched his smug face. I heard the doctor gasp and then laugh under his breath. I grinned at him as he cupped his face like an idiot!
"Guards! Lock her up." he shouted, then two 'hard' guys tried to grab me. But I'll do what I'm always good at. Fight back. The first one who greeted me I kicked in the balls and the seconds one, well I did the same. I turned to and smiled at the doctor.
"I'm not just a pretty face." I grinned he grinned before he shouted.
"Bella!" he shouted,
"What?" I replied before I had a hand over my mouth and my arms around my back.
"Your a tough cookie, aren't you?" he asked.
"Well.." I started to say but it come out mumbled.
"Don't answer," he replied as he tightened.
"Don't...Touch...Her." the doctor hissed as he stepped forward.
"Step back." he replied,
"Why...Should...I?" he hissed again, as he moved closer. He let go off my arms and grabbed something out of his pocket.
"Or else I'll shoot." he said and out the corner of my eye I saw a gun, then I felt the cold metal touch my head, and the sound of a trigger. He backed off, slowly and carefully. "Walk or else you die, both of you." he said as he nudged me with the gun. The doctor walked to my side and held my hand.
"Don't worry, I'll get us out of this." he whispered with a grin. I smiled back.
"Like always." I replied,
"In there." he shouted as he pushed us in and locked the door. We looked at him as he walked away. Then I heard the most terrible sound, like screaming and shouting all in on. I turned around to see about 30 red eye Oods thrown into a cell and coming for us.
"Doctor Donna!" the doctor shouted.
"What?" I asked.
"Just say Doctor Donna!"
"Doctor Donna!" I shouted.
"DOCTOR DONNA!" we shouted even louder as they came closer. "DOCTOR DONNA!" we screamed as they held up there ball things in one hand.
"DOCTOR DONNA!" we shouted for the last time before they held their heads, we stared at them before the came back up with normal eyes.
"Would you like some tea, doctor?" one of them asked.
"Oh, go on then!" the doctor exclaimed. The Doctor searched his pockets and looked at me shocked.
"Sonic."
"Doctor you should really have this on you." a voice said, we turned to meet the voice and River was back.
"Thanks." he exclaimed as he reached for it but River took it away.
"Say please." she grinned.
"River is this really the time?" he asked annoyed.
"You can't forget you manners Doctor."
"Please?" he hissed, River passer him his sonic, threw the bars.
"Run, wild and free little Ood." I smiled as they walked out. The doctor grinned at me.
"Have you noticed Doctor?" I asked. "Every Ood in this cell had Red eye. Maybe it's something to do with the circle not being able to break?" I asked him, he look gob smacked. He ran his hands threw his hands and said.
"Yes the circle!" he shouted and ran up to me and kissed my forehead.
"River is there anything stopping the Ood to communicate?" the doctor asked her, she looked puzzled.
"There's the Ood brain? If that helps." she replied, he clicked his fingers and ran to wherever it is.
"On your left!" River said who was in front with the doctor, whilst me lacking behind like usual.
"Come on Bella!" the doctor shouted to me. He soniced the door and it opened we ran down the stairs and below us was a brain and which surround it was an electric circle.
"The circle must be broken." I said. "They meant the electric around the brain." I shouted.
"It's stopping them communicating," River said,
"When I pull the lever, the Ood will sing!" the doctor replied as he ran to the lever.
"You touch it and I shoot you all." laughed at he pointed the gun at us.
"This company has been in my family for over a hundred years and I'm not letting some morons get in the way! I haven't murdered anyone before, maybe I won't enjoy it, maybe I will. Let's find out." he said as he loaded it.
"Care for a drink?" the Ood said Mr. Dale picked up the cup, drank it and slammed it down. Then he started coughing.
"What have you done to me?" he asked us.
"The Ood have been plotting revenge, quiet, sweet revenge. Tell me how's your hair?" the doctor asked. He started pulling chunks off it out, as he coughed. Then he grabbed the back off his neck and pulled it over his head, he was pealing himself. I stood their I'm horror as worms came out of his mouth and he coughed one more time before he coughed his brain out.
"Your Ood kind." river said. He blinked hard and looked at us.
"Brake the circle." the Ood replied.
"Arh yes the circle!" the doctor exclaimed as he pulled the lever, the electric went off and the Ood sang.
"It's beautiful." I replied. "Like the singing in the cage." I whispered.
"Isn't it?" The doctor replied, he clearly didn't pick up the last part.
"Don't worry, Doctor, River and Bella we'll look after him." the Ood replied. We smiled as we walked up, River opened all the cages and they ran off.
"This company is officially bankrupt!" River shouted as she blew up the building with her gun. "Run along."
River grinned.
"Thanks for coming back," I grinned.
"No problem." she replied. "I believe that's your ride over there." she said as she pointed to the right. We snapped are heads to see the TARDIS parked, right over there.
"But?" the doctor said.
"I had some free time, so I moved it for you." she grinned.
"Thanks." the doctor replied. Then she was gone. We walked to the TARDIS and took one last look at the Ood before we stepped in.
"By the way you haven't explained two things to Me. 1. What was the race for and 2. What's Doctor Donna?" I asked.
"Doctor Donna is a word, Donna my friend saw the Ood and saved them all, it's like a code of peace and happiness and I was racing to save you from Mr. Dale cause he had a plan to rape you." he replied, I looked shocked.
"Oh right..." I replied as I walked to him.
"Here," I said as I gave him his blazer back and his belt. He smiled at me as he dropped the stuff on the floor.
"Fancy a dip?" he asked.
"Sure!" I exclaimed as he pulled the lever. We were off into space, I held on for my life. It stopped slowly and we looked at each other and grinned.
"First on ready wins!" the doctor exclaimed as We raced as we got are swimming clothes on and ran to the controls.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Yes." I grinned, he picked me up and threw me over his back, I squealed happily as he ran to the pool, were he threw me in and not far after me he jumped in.
"Oh Doctor." I laughed,
"Right!" he exclaimed before he kissed me.
