Late again, sorry, I've been really bad with updating regularly lately and it may be that way for a while :/ I'm gonna try and write a bunch this week though and then hopefully get into a routine again :) hope you guys are all doing well, keep the reviews coming, they honestly mean so much to me! In other news we've hit 2500 views, I'm so incredibly happy, like I was convinced no one would read this :P I was expecting 100 views or something! So thank you guys so much, you're all awesome!
After about five minutes of waking up, everyone was settled around the cold of ashes of last nights fire while stale crackers and a bucket or water was being passed around as breakfast. The first couple of minutes were spent in silence as everyone attempted to chew on their crackers and swallow without choking.
"So what's the plan for today then," asked the Doctor? He needed to get his mind off Clara and focus on saving the pirates.
"Well," stuttered that Captain, "we um, we were thinking maybe you might want to come up with the plan."
A couple of pirates gasped at this ludicrous suggestion. "Ay, a couple of the lads and I talked last night, you seem like ye might 'ave some previous experience with this sorta thing. So we'll do whatever ye think is right. On one condition, you get us off this island in five days."
The Doctor thought for a second, "Seems fair enough," he replied. "Right, first thing's first then, we need a plan. As Clara always said, people have plans!"
The Pirates all broke out into chatter as the Doctor's wibbly wobbly timey wimey mind wizzed. "Okay, plan, here we go," the Doctor exclaimed excitedly as he leapt up off the sand. "So, first we're all going to search the island. Obviously the "mermaids" as you like to call them are an alien species, they're not from earth."
One of the pirates spoke up, "So that means we gotta figure 'ow the bloody creatures got 'ere, right sir?"
"Yes, perfect! What's your name, actually, I don't care, can I call you Max? I quite like that name, has a sort of ring to it ya know?" At this point the Doctor was running around their camp pointing his sonic this way and that.
"Aha!" he exclaimed! The crew watched intently as he smelled the air, twirled around to face the group and fixed his hair. "I think I've found something, pack up everything you need for a trip over night, nothing too heavy though, just the essentials!"
After ten or so minutes of packing, everyone was ready to go. The Doctor whipped out his sonic again and locked onto the signal. Earlier he'd been searching for a signal from a ship. He was guessing that's how the creatures had arrived. Now that his sonic had found the signal, it should lead them straight to it, that was about the extent of his plan so far. He couldn't help but think about what Clara would say. Scolding him for not having a proper plan or winding up a few of the pirates. He smiled sadly at the thought.
Hope you guys enjoyed it! More to come soon hopefully :) for those of you starting school again, hope it's all going well :) you're all amazing!
