I screamed with joy as we went whirling through the vortex. We came to an abrupt stop. I went to the scanner and looked at it. We were in the night sky. "Is it ok for me to go and sit by the door and stare out?" I asked. I turned around to find the Doctor had disappeared. "Doctor?" I asked. I saw a set of stairs which I hadn't really noticed before, leading underneath the glass floor.
I ran down them to see the Doctor fiddling with some cables. "Can I go sit on the 'doorstep'?" I asked. I must have startled him, because he ended up electrocuting himself.
"OWW!" he cried out, before turning to me and ushering me up the stairs. "Yes, yes, you can sit on the door step, but just don't fall out, but you shouldn't because of the protectors shields. Just don't lean out to far." The Doctor said before running back down the stairs. I ran through what had just happened in my head, then I opened up the doors and sat down. It was a gorgeous view. I sighed contently.
"I love this ship. Everything is just so amazing." I said happily. I leaned against one of the door frames. I think I was just about to fall asleep when it was the Doctor's turn to scare me. He silently ran and jumped down next to me. I screamed and ended up falling out of the T.A.R.D.I.S. "DOCTOR!" I screamed as I fell, out of the safety shield, and into the plain old space, filled with its toxic air and black holes. I watched as the Doctor reached out to try and grab my hand, but failed. I would have been crying, if I could.
As I fell through the last of the safety shield, I felt the space around me start to feel funny. Like it was pulling my arms and legs, then letting them snap back into place. I felt like a stretchy doll. I actually managed to scream this time though. As I did, my lungs burned, making me scream even more. I watched as the T.A.R.D.I.S got closer to me. I
felt the atmosphere around me go back to normal. The Doctor reached out for me. I grabbed his hand and he pulled me back in the T.A.R.D.I.S. Once I was back inside, I sat on the stairs and started to cry. It took me a while before I could say anything. "It felt like my legs and arms were being pulled and let go again. When I screamed it made my lungs burn. It hurt a lot." I said quietly when I could finally speak.
"It's ok. That won't happen anymore Maina. I promise you, next time I won't scare you, I promise." He said, patting me on the back. I stopped crying.
"But you said you always lie." I whimpered.
"Oh, now you chose the one time to listen to something I say." He replied, a bit annoyed. I wiped my eyes.
"It's ok. But please don't ever scare me like that again. I didn't like falling out of the T.A.R.D.I.S." I whispered. He nodded before standing up again. I went and shut the doors, and the Doctor started to run around the controls, flicking levers and pressing buttons. I stood in front of the scanner and watched it as we went whirling through the vortex again.
An hour or so later, we had arrived on Earth. The Doctor had taken me to December 9th London in 2009. "I was here on that day. I remember my mum and I went Christmas shopping. We had an amazing time. I wondered why I saw someone who looked like an older version of me." I said.
"Then we have to go find you!" The Doctor said. He grabbed my hand and we went running through the streets of London, looking for a younger version of me.
"I saw myself by the Tower of London." I recalled, as we ran to find myself. We eventually got there. After five minutes of looking around, we found me. I felt tempted to wave, but the Doctor stopped me.
"Don't wave! You'll freak yourself out even more!" the Doctor said.
"Where should we go then? I've seen myself and I do want to do something here." I asked.
"Well, we could go on the London Eye. Did you get a chance to go on that with your mum?" the Doctor asked.
"No. The queue was too long. I was so upset." I said, remembering my disappointment.
"Well, the people who deal with the queues there owe me a favour. Would you like to go on it today?" he asked. I nodded happily.
"Well, at least I'll get to ride on it today." I said, smiling as we walked to London Eye. When we arrived, the Doctor pushed straight threw the people in the line, dragging me along. They all yelled at him, clearly annoyed. When we reached the front, the Doctor flashed a blank piece of paper at the man. He nodded, letting us past. I smiled as we got onto our own glass compartment. The wheel started to go around. I sat down on one of the benches and smiled. The view up here is amazing!" I said. The Doctor nodded.
"It is. I love to come and get free rides on here when I need time to think. There's nothing more beautiful than a boring old, ordinary London." He said. I nodded.
"Wait, what's that?" I asked, pointing down in the river. It appeared as though some sort of rainbow fish was swimming in the river. The unusual thing was, this fish appeared to be giant. The Doctor raced over next to me.
"That isn't the usual fish." He said staring out the window. "That isn't what I think it is, is it?" He asked silently.
"What? What do you think it is?" I said, growing more alarmed.
"Well, I believe that is a tramilian. But what's it doing here? Unless..."
"What? What?" I asked, getting really alarmed.
"I think it's here because of you." He whispered.
So the Tramilians make a return! This time in London. In 2009. I based this chapter on something that actually happened to me in London. I thought I saw an older version of me waiting in a queue for the London Eye. I did get a closer look, and she looked nothing like me. But the queue was pretty long.
