U. Unique
The Doctor introduced Amy to the King of Haskan without a seconds though, showering both parties with compliments before the three of them walked off together. Two people arrived a few minutes to late to join them.
Rory ran in from outside, his grin disappearing when he saw the almost empty room. He sighed and went to sit down. He had been playing with the leonine children of the palace, so he had lost track of time and the Time Lord.
From a small door, ran another man, this one lion-like in his appearance and dressed in robes of a prince. Noticing his father was gone, he rubbed his paw over his face before looking up. He had been chatting to his friends in his head and lost track of time because of the Time Lord.
They both looked up at the same time and Rory stood. Prince Lyev's eyes widened when he recognised the man walking towards him with his hand outstretched.
'Captain Rory Williams. I'm here with Commander Smith and Lieutenant Pond with the Shadow Proclamation, section Sigma.'
It was the lie the Doctor had come up with and told them to keep to at all times. He didn't expect the others to keep to it, but he would. He didn't expect the lion-man to grin like a newborn cub.
'Prince Lyev Greva, prince of the house of Ryev. Heir to the thrones of Kogote and Kleg and number 6.'
Rory frowned at that last bit. Theta had been translating all through the Prince's little speech but no one knew what the number meant. Lyev leaned forward and smiled.
'You are number 3 right?'
A grin spread across Rory's face as the Prince spoke with the centurion's voice. Artorius winked a silver eye before allowing Lyev to take control.
'Number 4, technically.'
The leonine alien nodded as the two of them began to walk side by side, Rory following Lyev as he turned through corridors.
'Of course, the nurse's mind, the centurion's body.'
'Is that how I'm classed? The nurse?' Rory smirked as his future self chuckled.
'Yep. Makes it easier than saying foreign names all the time. It was Dantrho's idea, he's after you. The Traveller, the Fire, the Nurse, the Centurion, the Tree and the Lion.'
Rory groaned. 'Why do I get the lame name? Theta's is mysterious, Kaxano's sounds awesome and yours and Artorius' sound powerful.'
'The Tree isn't that good.' The Lion chuckled as the Nurse began to rant. They had come to his quarters and the Prince slumped into a sofa as his past self glared.
'It's better than the bloody Nurse!'
The two of them looked at each other for a few minutes before bursting into laughter. The humanoid fell down next to the lion-man, leaning on him for support.
'How about we call you the Captain? Believe me, it fits.'
'Surely I know what fits me more than you do.'
'Ah, but me and Dant know your whole life, you only know half of it.'
There was a small silence between them before Rory spoke again.
'So Dantrho's a tree, is he?'
'Member of the Western Gamma Forest. Bit of a rebel, if I'm honest.
'So we go all branch and leaf-y and then we go all royalty and lion-y.'
Lyev laughed. 'A tree with a green mental projection and a lion with blue fur and silver eyes. Bit different to two identical humanoids.'
They both smiled and both noticed how identical their grins were. Even with such a difference in their biological structure, similarities shone through. Their eyes were shaped in the same way and the way they held themselves was close to identical.
Somewhere in the castle, something exploded. Numbers 3/4 and 6 looked up before jumping to their feet. Rory Williams grinned at his future self.
'Let's go save Theta.'
Prince Lyev Greva grinned back, as the two of them ran down the corridors, laughing incredibly similar laughs.
When they reached their destination, King Otyeazz had the Doctor slammed up against a wall, snarling in his face. Amy was being held back by the Queen.
'Mother! Father, stop!
The leonines looked growled at their son. 'Why!' Otyeazz roared. 'We have no reason to trust them. We don't even know who they are.'
Lyev glanced at Rory, who rolled his eyes. The Prince had to stop himself from laughing. 'They are Commander John Smith, MD, and Lieutenant Amelia Pond of the Shadow Proclamation. They are here with my friend Captain Rory Williams to study our planet's rule and customs. Nothing more.'
Rory grinned as his friends were dropped, picking themselves up and walking over to him. 15 minutes later, when they were back in the TARDIS, the Doctor looked up at Rory.
'How did you get the Prince to agree with you. King Lyev of the Haskani was notoriously stubborn.'
The humanoid alien shrugged. 'We had a few things in common, we seemed to be on the same wavelength.'
Amy raised an eyebrow. 'What could you have in common with a blue furred lion?'
Rory chuckle. 'You'd be surprised, Amy. You really would.'
A/N: Don't have a V, any help would be much appreciated :) And yes, before any geeks out there ask, the idea of the Haskani was based on the guy off X-men :P
