The Doctor immediately took Freya to the kitchen to get her a cup of tea to help her sore throat. "Thank…you", the Time Lady managed to say before she coughed. She took a couple of sips of tea, humming in relief as she could feel the warm liquid soothe her throat. "Food…please? Hungry", the Time Lady asked.
"Of course", the Doctor said practically jumping to his feet "how about some soup?" he suggested "it'll be easier on your throat".
"Sound good", Freya replied and so the Doctor got to work. While he was making the soup, Rose entered the kitchen.
"Hey Freya. How are you…um…doing?" Rose asked taking a seat at the table.
"Fine", Freya replied.
"Sorry, I don't understand", Rose said. The language that Freya was speaking was for some reason not translated by the TARDIS. Which was strange because the Doctor told her that the TARDIS translated all the languages into English.
"I am fine", Freya repeated, speaking slowly as to not make mistakes with her words. She still wasn't used to speaking English all that much.
"Good. Look I'm sorry for what happened", Rose said apologetically. She felt really guilty for the Time Lady collapsing. She was the one who'd given Adam the key after all and she left him alone, instead of sticking with him. "I felt sorry for Adam. I thought he was overwhelmed as it was his first trip. I never thought that he would do what he did".
"It is ok", Freya said "you not psychic Rose". She coughed and took another sip of her tea.
"She's right. You might not have known what he was going to do", the Doctor agreed coming over with a bowl of soup. He set it down on the table and sat next to Freya "but it was still a stupid move to give him the key so you've lost the right to have one", he said giving the blonde teen a stern look.
"She earn it back, right?" Freya asked the Doctor seeing how upset Rose seemed to be at losing the right to have a TARDIS key.
The Doctor nodded "you can earn it back as long as you refrain from doing anything stupid for a few trips", he said. Rose nodded eagerly. She'd be on her best behaviour for as long as needed if that meant getting her key back. Freya picked up the spoonful of soup and tried it. She brightened at how good it tasted and within no time at all she'd finished the bowl. "I'm guessing you liked that?" the Doctor asked with a smile.
The Time Lady nodded "It good. Best thing I ate in long time", she said. She finished up her tea "Thank you".
"You're welcome", the Doctor said "Did you want anymore?"
Freya shook her head "No" she then glanced at her clothes "I need shower and new clothes", she added.
"Of course", the Doctor replied getting up and holding his hand out to her "come with me". The Time Lady took it and he pulled her to her feet. The two Gallifreyans walked towards the wardrobe hand in hand while Rose trailed behind them. She was curious to see what the Time Lady would pick.
~wardrobe~
Freya's mouth dropped open when she stepped inside the wardrobe. It was huge! "Wow", she breathed gaping at the sheer size of it. It was going to take her some time to find something she liked. "Where I start?" she asked.
"Wherever you like", the Doctor answered. Freya sighed. That answer did not help her. She glanced at Rose. She was a female, maybe she knew the best place to start looking for a new outfit.
"Help please?" Freya asked.
"Sure", Rose answered. She held out her hand to Freya. The Time Lady took it and the blonde led her further into the wardrobe, the Doctor following the pair.
"Try here", Rose suggested stopping in front of a rail of feminine clothing in a modern style. Freya slowly walked along running a hand over the garments. Occasionally she took one out, looked at it for a moment before shaking her head and putting it back.
"Not me, sorry", Freya said.
"That's ok", Rose said "we'll just keep looking".
"Look alone?" Freya asked and the Doctor nodded. He wanted to go with her while she looked for something but if she's decided to look alone, then he'd respect that. Freya turned and walked away from the Doctor and Rose. She wandered through the wardrobe looking at the different garments hoping to find something that would strike her fancy. Freya sighed putting another dress back.
The Time Lady continued on, passing by a light blue dress. Freya stopped and quickly backtracked. She extracted the dress from the rail and smiled. This was the one for her. Freya slung it over one arm and begun her hunt for a pair of shoes to go with them. It didn't take her long to find a pair of blue flats in a slightly darker shade than the dress.
She re-joined the Doctor and Rose. "You've found something then?" the Time Lord asked nodding to the dress in her arms.
"I have", Freya replied "uh…shower?"
"There's plenty of those to choose from", the Doctor said taking her hand and leading her out of the wardrobe. He stopped outside a door and opened it. Inside was a reasonable sized bathroom. The Doctor showed Freya how the shower worked and what to use on her hair and what to use on her body. Then he left her alone to give her privacy while she showered.
Freya took her sweet time in the shower thoroughly making sure that she'd gotten out all that nastiness from her hair and the grime off her skin. Eventually, she stepped out of the shower and dried herself off. Freya put on the dress and the shoes. She then took a look at herself in the mirror and smiled. She looked better than she had for 50 years. Freya nodded her approval at her reflection and then left the bathroom.
The Time Lady found the Doctor and Rose in the console room. When the Time Lord saw her, he was speechless. His Soulmate was beautiful! Due to the state her hair was in before he couldn't easily tell what colour it was but now he could see that it was a lovely shade of blonde. It wasn't straight like Rose's it was more wavy…almost like loose curls. "What you think?" Freya asked, slipping back into Gallifreyan before giving a little twirl to show off her dress. The dress she was wearing was simple but it suited her very well.
"You look wonderful", the Doctor replied.
Freya smiled "Thank you", she said happy that he liked it.
Rose considered the Time Lady's outfit. It wasn't what she'd expected her to choose as it was a little old fashioned and rather reminded her of Cinderella's peasant dress. "It's a bit…old fashioned", she remarked and Freya's smile fell.
"That bad?" she asked the Doctor.
"No, it's not bad", the Doctor said stepping up and taking her hands "what she means is, that its different but it suits you" the Time Lord glanced at his companion, giving her a look that dared her to disagree "right Rose?"
"Uh…yeah…that's what I meant", Rose stuttered feeling a bit uneasy with the look the Doctor was giving her.
The Doctor looked back at Freya and smiled "see? We both like it", he said. The Time Lady returned his smile.
An: the outfit Freya chose is the blue peasant dress from the 2015 live action Cinderella
