Happy Monday! hope you all had a nice week last week :) if any of you are wondering my merlin fic is still on hold. I'll try to update it this week but I'll make no promises. As for this fic I see no end in the near future. It's Doctor who, I don't see how I can end it. Maybe Rory can fall in love and I'll end it on the wedding or something. IDK. enjoy :)
16th birthday
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday dear Rory,
Happy birthday to you!
Cheers filled the kitchen as the Doctor, River, Martha and all Rory's friends –Rory Sr, Amy, Rose and Rachel- all clapped and whooped in celebration of 16 years of Rory Smith.
"Happy birthday, Son." The Doctor said, patting him on the back
"Thanks dad." Rory said, a big grin on his face. The party went well. Even though he was turning 16 Rory had chosen to have quite a child's birthday party featuring a list of traditional party games: pin the tail on the donkey, because it was always a fun game; twister, Rory didn't care much for the game but it was funny to watch as everyone tied themselves into a knot like they were human shoelaces; charades, Rory Sr was really good at it and so Rory planned to play in teams and get Rory Sr on his team and finally-possibly his most childish stunt- a bouncy castle!
The party went just as planned; they played all the games, Rory's team won-thanks to Rory Sr- and then wore themselves out on the bouncy castle. Everyone went home tired and stuffed with chocolate cake. Rory was flicking through some TV channels whilst his parents whizzed round the house in their usual search for something, anything to do. Rory never had a messy room like most teenagers; his parents never gave the dust time to settle on the shelf, never mind let him leave dirty clothes on the floor. You would have thought that after all those Years River and the Doctor would have gotten used to sitting still. But that wasn't the case. There wasn't a wall in the house or garden that hadn't been painted and repainted at least twice a week, and this was when both his parents worked full time.
"Dad, do you ever just sit still and watch telly?" Rory asked, wanting his father to sit down before it got to him and he ran around helping them.
"Right, sorry." The Doctor replied, sitting down on the sofa next to him. "How was your birthday?" he asked.
"It was great!" Rory said. He really meant it but couldn't really put into words how much he'd enjoyed his birthday; he still felt there was something missing. That something was his dad telling him he could go out in the TARDIS but whenever he'd asked in the past the reply had always been 'when you're older' so he'd just given up asking.
"I know what you're thinking." The Doctor said
"W… what?" Rory asked, he ran a hand through his dark hair, nervously.
"You want to go in the TARDIS, I can read your face like a book." He said.
"I know, I know… When I'm older." Rory sighed
"That wasn't what I was going to say at all!" the Doctor said, a mischievous glint in his eye.
"It… It wasn't?" Rory asked
"Nope." The Doctor held out a small box, gift wrapped in TARDIS blue with a little bow on it. "Looks like you forgot one present."
"Thanks." Rory said, awkwardly accepting the box. He had an idea what it was but he didn't want to get his hopes up. Carefully he unwrapped the box. Inside was exactly what he thought it would be and yet it was more than he'd ever dreamed of. The TARDIS key. So many times he'd dreamed of this day and yet never had he thought it would happen quite like this. Reality was so much better than the dream but he still had to check he was dreaming.
"You're not dreaming," the Doctor laughed, seeing him pinching himself.
"How can I be sure?" Rory asked suspiciously.
"How about we go into the TARDIS and you can have your first lesson? Your mothers in there now, setting everything up… I think she's writing a new manual."
"What's wrong to the old one?" Rory asked.
"Oh… Nothing…" The Doctor hesitated, "I may have… um… threw it into a supernova…"
"I can just see you doing that!" Rory laughed
"Happy birthday, sweetie!" River greeted Rory as he walked through the doors of the TARDIS with the Doctor. Rory had been in the TARDIS before but always with the knowledge that he couldn't go anywhere in it. He never thought he'd be able to actually drive it! "Here you go, sweetie." River said, handing him a TARDIS blue book, the manual. "After your father threw the original into a supernova I took the liberty to make you this one."
"Thanks Mum. Dad told me about how he threw the last one into a supernova." Rory said, taking the manual and sitting down to read it straight away.
"You don't need a manual, I can teach you just fine!" The Doctor insisted.
"Of course you could sweetie." River said sarcastically.
"What's with the sarcasm? I could! I taught you!" the Doctor exclaimed.
"I know you did, I think it would be so much easier for Rory to learn from writing though." River reasoned.
"I'm done! Let's fly this baby!" Rory said.
"Wait a minute!" The Doctor said, "Let me test you! She can be very temperamental, If you do one thing wrong…" But Rory didn't wait, he ran around the TARDIS with the same crazed look the Doctor always wore whilst flying the TARDIS and within a few minutes the engine started and they had landed in a whole new place.
"Here we are!" Rory exclaimed
"Where are we?" The Doctor asked
"Gallifrey." Rory replied, "I brought you home."
"But that's impossible!" the Doctor muttered. But sure enough on the scanner there was the bright orange sky with the citadel enclosed in a mighty glass dome shining under the twin suns beyond that the Doctor saw the mountains that went on forever with the slopes of deep red grass, capper with snow. The Doctor was home.
