Here's the other chapter. It's a lot longer than the last one! Hope you like! :) x


Amy and River steppind out, the Doctor and Alice at their backs. "Err... Doctor how is this possible?" Amy asked. In front of the 4 was a bustling city. Not a modern city but the type you'd imagine Atlantis to have looked like. There were people, 100's of them in a city that apparently was lost. They were underwater, you could see it. The bright blue atlantic ocen was all around them, but the city seemed to be in a giant bubble. A bubble big enough to house an entire city. Everything was made of a red stone. A temple or palace of a sorts stood high and mighty at the city's centre and giant stone warriors stood around the city's perimetre. It was overgrown with greenery and had birds flying through the air, the like of which Amy had never seen before. It was a marvel, an impossiblilty and the Doctor was hooked by it's meer sight.

"Well it appears that the lost city of Atlantis isn't so lost. 2012 and the city still stands and the bottom of the ocean." The Doctor said in disbelief. He lowered Alice of his back, much to her resentment, he may be a timelord but his back was hurting from the extra weight. He them held her hand and started to walk into the city, his other hand around Amy's waist. River at Amy's otherside, the 2 women holding hands. Amy didn't question why her and River were holding hands, it just felt right.

"Daddy, how are they doing that?" Alice said, pointing at the Atlanteans flying in the air above in what looked like stone fish. "I don't know." The Doctor said, squeezing his daughters hand. The whole physics of Atlantis had the Doctor's mouth watering. Amy stopped. "What's wrong?" River asked coming to a halt as did the Doctor and Alice a look of concern on their faces. "You don't know. I don't think i've ever heard you say that!" Amy said laughing. The Doctor smiled, River laughed and Alice ran to hug her mum laughing. Amy pecked the Doctor on the cheek and continued on walking pulling River and the Doctor.

To Alice's request they group made their way up to the large temple/ palacey thing in the centre of the city. They were now approaching the foot of it. There was the biggest set of stairs Amy had ever seen, it would take all day to climb those. She turned to the Doctor in disbelief. "Don't worry Pond it's not nearly as high as you think. It's a mirage. Come on, i'll show you!" The Doctor said, it was his turn to do the dragging. He pulled the group up 6 steps and then pulled out his sonic screwdriver and pointed it at an apparent leafy plant. Amy heard a clicking sound and the next thing she new the stairs were moving like an escaltor in a shopping centre. "Okay, didn't see this coming!" River said, gripping Amy's hand trying not to loose her balance as the stairs rushed up towards the top. The Doctor laughed and picked up Alice who was having a hard time keeping her balance. "Get ready to step off at the top." The Doctor said.

In no more than 6 seconds they reached the top and all took their step off the giant escalator. They were met with a group of soldier and a skinny man with glasses pointing spears at them. "Well this is a nice welcome." River said slightly annoyed. The skinny man started to speak, but it was in a language not even the Tardis could translate. "What did he say?" Amy whispered into the Doctor's ear.
"Not a clue, let's ask shall we!" The Doctor said with a grin. He handed Alice over to Amy and walked towards the man, who was repeating what seemed to be a command. "Hello I'm the Doctor. This is Amy, Alice and River. Ermm... If I may be so bold would you mind lowering your weapons. Well because if not I might have to do something." The Doctor said his tone very even and calm. The skinny man nodded and said something in a the strange language. The soldiers lowered their weapons.
"Sorry. I didn't realise you were explorers. I didn't know Mr Whitmore was sending anymore expeditions." The man said. The Doctor was confused, that was new.
"I'm sorry as well. I don't know a Mr Whitmore, but the explorers part was right though." The Doctor said with a grin and beckoned Amy and River forward. Amy had lowered Alice and she was now clutching at her mothers leg hiding behind it. "Well welcome to Atlantis Doctor and your family are most welcome here. My name is Milo, please let me show you around the palace." Milo said and beckoned for the Doctor to follow.

The Doctor followed and Milo showed the group around the large palace. During the tour Alice had been transferred from person to person and was currently being carried by River. She was sitting comfortably in River's arms and was playing with River's hair absent mindedly. When she made contact with River's forehead. An image filled Alice's head an image that shocked the little girl. River saw Alice's expression and gave her wink. "Let it be our little secret, okay. Your mummy and daddy can't find out yet, okay." River said a childlike tone in her voice. Alice nodded, she had just found another reason to love her `Aunty` River even more. The Doctor and Amy were completely oblivious to this conversation, both enthrawled by the tour Milo was giving them around the palace.

The tour took a massive 2 hours to complete when the group arrived at what seemed to be a thrown room. "Wow, this place is amazing." Amy said walking hand in hand with the Doctor.
"Thank you Amy. The Atlanteans built this from scratch, it's an achitectural feat!" Milo said, leaning against one of the columns. Milo then gestured that the group sit down. A voice was then heard from the outside the door. "Milo..." A voice was calling. Milo ran over and opened the door. A women with dark skin and white hair stood their, she had strange blue tattoo's on her skin the same as Milo.
"Doctor, Amy, River, Alice I'd like you to meet my wife, Kida." Milo said, walking over to the group, his arm now around Kida's waist.
"Nice to meet you." The Doctor said, standing up to shake Kida's hand. Kida shook it warmly. "Welcome to Atlantis Doctor. We have heard much about you! And you'll be under the highest protection whilst you are with us Doctor." Kida said. The Doctor was taken aback.
"Protection? Protection from who?" The Doctor asked, concerned.
"Doctor you must know how Atlantis got to the bottom of the ocean. How the Timelords grew jealous of the Atlanteans and banished us to the bottom if the ocean?" Kida asked confused. The look on the Doctor's face showed her the answer. "Oh." She said.

The Doctor was in full blown shock. He'd known the Timelords were cruel sometimes especially in their final days, they were homicidal. But to sink an entire nation just out of jealousy. It couldn't be true.

"Doctor, you okay?" Amy asked, slowly approaching the Doctor. River and Alice who had been previoualy messing round had now frozen still.
"I er... I'm going to get some air." The Doctor said and walked out of the room. Leaving Amy grabbing at air.

The Doctor stormed outside and started to pace in front of the door. Thoughts running a 1000 mile per hour through his head. No it's impossible. But the Timelords did have the power to do that. But it would be braking their own rules. How did no one know or even notice? Some many thoughts filling the Doctor's mind to the brim. When he felt a large thud on the back of his head and everything went black.


Soooo... Who do you think River is? Dun-dun-duuuuuunnnnn! XD Virtual cookies and bowties and of course Fez's to anyone who reviews! :) x
