Hello everyone! So, I had thought about doing this for a while but LilienRose managed to completely convince me. For the next twenty or so chapters I will be going back to the beginning and writing the Doctor's point of view from then until now. Yay! Anyway, thanks again for reading!
"Madam De Pompadour!", I shouted through the fireplace, "Still want to see those stars?"
"More than anything", Reinette said as she popped down to the floor.
"Give me two minutes. Pack a bag."
"Am I going somewhere?", the French aristocrat asked.
"Go to the window. Pick a star. Any star."
I turned towards the TARDIS' open doors and ran up the ramp.
Piloting the TARDIS to France was surprisingly effortless, almost as if the TARDIS was excited to go.
Rose was off to the side with Mickey. She watching my every move. I tried to ignore the somewhat pleasing sensation it brought.
A few moments later the TARDIS materialized and I went to get the waiting woman outside the doors.
She was sitting upon a large trunk staring at the stars through the window.
"Any star?", she asked turning her head slightly to acknowledge my presence, not taking her eyes off the lights in the sky.
"Yep", I saying popping the 'P'.
"I want to see your star. Your planet", she said turning towards me as she stood.
My mind caught up to her before anything else, "Nah, how about somewhere nice. Why go home when I'd rather be elsewhere. How about a cosmic ball celebrating King Velfortiti's 400 years of ruling? Or perhaps a trip to see the shining lights of Meltrov or the Borri Beast on G9K7?"
"Shall we decide now?", she asked as I grabbed her trunk.
"Come on. We'll see what everyone else wants to do."
What does this woman have in here?!, I thought as I dragged it behind me, That is the heaviest suitcase in existence. She must have packed half of the universe in there!
"My dear Doctor, reason lets me to believe what I am seeing can not be", She said stuck halfway through the door blocking my way.
I dropped her suitcase and smiled, whispering in her ear, "What did I say about reason?"
"That one must never listen to it", she said turning slightly to look at me.
After a what seemed like forever I sent us all into the vortex.
"Dear Doctor your craft! It is magnificent!", Reinette gawked as she walked gracefully around the console as she dragged her hands around the different part of the console.
I looked over at Rose who's eyes had a far away look to them. They were slightly glazed over like they seemed to get every so often. Almost as if she were having a conversation that she herself was only partially able to process.
The woman at the console gasped and as she brought her hand up to her face. Her fingers coming to rest on her temples. Reinette looked around in awe.
"She is in my mind. Alive, so very alive, yet so very strange".
"She likes you, mind you, I'm not surprised. What's not to like?", I asked the accomplish woman.
"Right boss, mind getting everyone on the same page?", Mickey said from across the room next to Rose.
The same Rose whose face had taken on a very flat blank look.
"Right. Right, Sorry! Mickey Smith, Rose Tyler meet Reinette Poisson, also known as Madam De Pompadour. Reinette, meet Mickey and Rose", I said with a big goofy grin.
I loved introducing people who would never have met without the interference of time travel. It usually made the best friendships. Bob Ross and Bill Gates. John Lennon and Kate Upton. David Letterman and Neil Armstrong. Bill Nye and, well, practically anyone.
"So you are the Doctor's friends?", she asked.
Well that's not entirely true, I thought to myself as a tugged on my ear slightly.
"Suppose so", Mickey said, "Wouldn't be here else wise would we?"
"Oh you both are more than just friends. You're family, Mickey, the idiot little brother-", I said with carefully chosen words.
"Oy, careful there mate", Mickey said taking mild offense.
"-and Rose is my best friend. Almost like a sister", I said with a wink, "Rose Tyler here keeps me right. Couldn't do a thing without her. She's quite lovely once you get to know her too."
Right, that was rude! Stop that, I thought as Rose turned to leave.
"Right, I'm going for a nice soak. Don't wait up", she said and turned around towards the nearest corridor.
Mickey caught her arm but I couldn't hear what they were saying as Reinette had began to chatter off so many questions that I feared my ears would fall off.
By the time I had a chance to look over to Rose again she was gone.
Mickey met my eyes and motioned towards the corridor on his left with his head.
"Reinette", Mickey said coming up behind her, "Why don't you tell me about what you like doing in France. I have always been curious about your time period."
I gave Mickey a look that conveyed my appreciation for his welcome distraction.
"My time period? What time period, as you put it, sir, are you from?", Reinette asked Mickey as I bowed out of the room and began my search for Rose.
