I owe EVERYONE an apology. I have been busy with school and slightly lacking inspiration to write this. My writers block offically SUCKS! Well, there is a plus: ITS FRIDAY and I have a long weekend and won't be back in school till Tuesday. I don't know when I'll update this next because I have seen a youtube video which I will link at the end of this chapter) and I'm kinda wanting to write a Fanfiction for it! Happy reading! Oh, I don't own anything except my OC Alexa Pond
Chapter 10: A Reunion
The Doctor and I sat in silence in the TARDIS. I was still wearing the wedding dress that Erik had forced me to wear hours earlier. The Opera Populaire was burnt...not to the ground, but it was badly destroyed. In several years, there would be an auction and then Raoul would go to the Cemetary to leave the monkey figurine that was in Erik's lair. After a few more moments of awkward silence, the Doctor walked over to me and kneeled down in front of me and put a hand on my shoulder.
"You alright Alexa?" He asked me in a small soothing voice. It was like he was talking to a scared child. I may have well been, after seeing the Doctor being strangled to death, I always got worried about him and there was this feeling in my chest that I didn't want him to leave. I didn't want to leave him alone. He just lost Rose for Christ's Sake! I knew he'd meet up with Donna eventually, and Martha. Or had he met Martha already and she was on her way to being Dr. Jones. I sighed and looked down at the water stained and ruined dress.
"I better get out of this..." I mumbled quietly. The Doctor nodded and helped me up. "I set out something in your room for you. I hope you like it" He said looking at me and hugged in a soothing matter. The way he rubbed my back in circle was so soothing and calming. It felt nice after all the danger I'd been in lately. I made my way to a room that the TARDIS had given me personally. On my way there, I saw a door which was pink with yellow flowers on it. That had to have been Rose's room. Across from Rose's room was a door which was colored the same blue as the TARDIS doors. *The Doctor's room* I thought to myself. I always imagined he had a room, but I bet he hardly slept in there though. With all the running he had to do and everything in the universe, I never thought the Doctor as one to sleep. I sighed and placed my hand on his door feeling bad for him. That man, that amazing 900 year old man from a planet I'd never heard of or would ever get to see. Galifrey. In an episode of Doctor Who, the Doctor had described Galifrey for her. A red skied planet...He said it was so beautiful and there was nothing like it. Then the Time War came...and Galifrey was destroyed All of it. He was the last of his kind, or so he thought. I know the Master existed. He was out there somewhere. Waiting for his moment to take over the universe.
I felt a slight twinge of guilt as I made my way down the long hallway to my room. I knew the Doctor's future. I knew he'd regenerate eventually. He'd loose that short spiky brown hair that I loved and adored. It would become long and he'd wear a red bow tie and tweed jacket...Once I entered my room, I felt like I was at home. It was like the TARDIS knew what my room looked like back home. Walking to the dresser, I put on a purple tank top and some jeans and slid on some comfortable shoes. Then I go ahead and walk over to the bed and flopped down on it and hugged the pillow tightly and cried silently into it. My mom must be worried sick about me. I'd been gone from home before but nothing like this, not with a man who can travel through time and space. I heard footsteps coming towards my room and looked up to see the Doctor standing, no not standing, leaning against my door frame.
"Homesick?" He asked quietly stepping inside and I nodded and pulled out my cell phone, which I forgot I had and showed him a picture of me and my mother. The Doctor let out a soft smile "You two look a lot alike"
I chuckled and wiped a few stray tears from my cheeks. "I look like her and my Papa." I replied. All of a sudden, I heard a noise come from the main console room.
"Doctor? Doctor are you there!" The woman's voice called. I could tell immmidetly who it was and the Doctor could too. He stood up quickly and ran to the console room and pulled at his monitor screen. There, was a blonde woman he and I both knew. The Doctor let out a small sigh of surprise, or was it relief.
"Rose..." he laughed quietly. "Rose Tyler how on EARTH did you get in touch with the TARDIS?"
Rose let out a laugh of her own then looked at me as I made my way into the camera's view. "Is that a new friend of yours?" Rose asked with a slight tone of jealousy in her voice. I frowned slightly hearing that tone. Great, I've barely just met Rose Tyler and she's already jealous of me. The Doctor nodded. "Well, at least your not alone." She said with a smile. A man who looked exactly like the Doctor came behind Rose and kissed her head.
"You found him! Great job Rosie." The man, who I assumed was the Meta-Crisis Doctor said looking at Rose.
"Doctor, you're not going to believe this. The TARDIS root you gave us back on Bad Wolf Bay...Its a functioning TARDIS now! John and I are made a few short trips in her but we found a rift that's been opened and we're heading to London. Can you and your friend meet us there?" Rose asked with a smile. "We have so much to tell you."
I looked at the Doctor who had a smile and a tear in his eye. He was going to see Rose again. HIS Rose Tyler. The man he truly loved. The Doctor nodded.
"We'll be there Rose. I promise." He replied. Rose and John, the Meta-Crisis nodded and the call ended and the Doctor backed up slightly and sat into the chair behind him. His face held so many emotions while mine had hardly any at all. I was happy for him but I now felt like I'd be a third wheel if he asked Rose to join us. Oh no, wait. I'd be a bloomin FOURTH wheel since John would be with them. The Doctor let out a small sigh and a laugh and then began hitting buttons and setting our destination for London, England. As soon as he set the TARDIS in flight, I held onto the console and broke the silence between us.
"This is a good thing right? I mean, Rose is coming back." I said quietly
The Doctor turned and faced me, still with a small frown on his face; As he looked at the console then me and his frown turned into the largest grin I had ever seen. It was like watching "Stolen Earth" all over again when Donna told the Doctor that Rose was coming back. "Yeah. Now, I should be able to lock onto the signal of there TARDIS with ours. Granted this trip might be a little bumpy seeing as Rose needs to rip a hole through the fabric of the Time Vortex to get to us" he explained as we ran around the TARDIS console pulling various nobs and pulling various pumps.
Soon, he pulled one final lever and we were off towards London. Where in London, I was unsure of. However, as we seemed to get closer to our destination I felt a growing feeling in my stomach. One of nervousness I had never been this nervous before in my life. I was going to meet Rose Tyler and see the Doctor the happiest he's been in a long time. The TARDIS landed with a thud sending the Doctor and I on our backs and laughing up a storm. I guess we were both excited that we would be seeing Rose. Just as we stood up, I heard another whirring noise that the TARDIS made. They made it.
The Doctor then reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver key which looked like a key that would fit into a door. It was attached to a silver necklace chain and it had a long chain. Long enough that I wouldn't need an extension on it. Usually, I would need an extender on the chain. "Is that what I think it is?" I ask him with a grin on my face walking to him and he nodded. "My very own TARDIS key." The Doctor was just about to respond when the doors to his TARDIS opened and there stood a blonde woman in a light blue shirt and some blue jeans. The Doctor had a small amount of shock on his face, which then turned to absolute happiness.
I nodded to the other Doctor and stepped outside to give Rose and the Doctor their privacy. As I stepped outside, I felt that something was wrong...but I just shoved the thought to the side as I walked towards Rose and John, which was the name for the Meta-Crisis's, TARDIS. Meanwhile as I stepped inside Rose and the Doctor were laughing and crying and I was sure it felt like the old days when it was just Rose and the Doctor in the TARDIS. Just as it should have been.
Rose pulled away from the hug she had given the Doctor as I had allowed myself outside to get some air and looked at him. "You haven't changed a bit have you?" Rose asked and the Doctor shook his head.
"Not one bit Rose Tyler." He smiled saying her name again. Hearing himself saying her name for the first time in what was only a year or two for human years yet was about 50 for a Time Lord. "I should tell you that I didn't stop thinking about you for one minute. No other companion I've had in my 900 years could ever replace you."
Rose smiled and nodded as John walked over and took her hand. On both Rose and John's hands were silver wedding bands. Rose looked up at him. "We have so much to tell you." The Doctor's eyes darted down and saw the wedding bands and forced a smile.
"Congratulations you two. I'm happy for you, honestly." The Doctor managed to mutter.
"So who was the brunette that walked out as we walked in?" John asked speaking for the first time since he and Rose entered the TARDIS. The Doctor relaxed more even though he was still a little saddened that Rose was married, however he was married to him in a way so it didn't bother him much.
"Alexa, Alexa Pond. Found her in France in 1870 with the whole Opera Populaire. Ya know the Phantom of the Opera thing? Turns out he actually existed! How Andrew Lloyd Webber found out about that I'll have no idea. Then we went to see Reinette," he paused then looked at Rose, "Rose you remember Reinette right? From when we brought Mickey along? Anyway, saw her got ambushed by a Dalek who tried to kill not only myself but Alexa too. Said she was a threat to the Daleks but I have yet to figure out why." The Doctor finished his small but brief explanation about Alexa's first few adventures in the TARDIS. He had decided to leave out the part about my dream because it would only stir memories from when Rose had heard the singing in her head.
Back in Rose and John's TARDIS, I had stepped inside and smiled. It was just like the Doctor's TARDIS which I'm sure for Rose made her feel more at home and not miss the Doctor as much. I decided to leave the door open, feeling no need to worry. There wasn't anything that could harm us here. There was nothing to fear I think. Boy was I wrong. As I turned around to leave the TARDIS...I was confronted by one of the enemies of the Doctor's...I was confronted by another Dalek. As I stood in terror, remembering my last confrontation with the Dalek, he only had one word to say to me as he pointed his little plunger at me.
"EXTERMINATE!"
