Hello so quick note part of this chapter is like a crossover sort of from the short series Sherlock (also co created by Steven Moffat the head writer of Doctor Who) just wanted to say that so no one is confused about what's going on.
(France around the 1800's)
So I was sitting awkwardly alone at this table in the Palace of Versailles. The Doctor and I were eating lunch with King Louis the 14th or something like that (here's a question that's bothered me why are there so many King Louis') and his wife Marie Antoinette. At some point during the meal Marie suddenly decided she needed help getting a book down from a shelf in the library that she simply just had to show us and of course she had grabbed the Doctor which was predictable because she had been flirting with him the whole afternoon. Then after an hour later Louis had decided to go see what was going on I would have gone with him except he said I was going against proper etiquette by leaving without finishing my meal and now we are back to where I began. I slyly slid out my phone to see if the Doctor had texted me and saw two words from him HELP ME! Before I could answer Louis burst through the doors with this guard behind him.
"WHERE'S THE DOCTOR" he shouted at me. I shrugged and then one of the guards just grabbed me out of my chair and just pulled me while Louis looked for the Doctor.
"Isn't this going against proper guest etiquette?" I asked as my feet just dragged across the floor.
"That does not matter anymore considering your fiancée has stolen my wife" Louis exclaimed.
"Or the opposite" I mumbled.
"What was that?" he snapped.
"Nothing your high kingliness." Louis knocked down a door where we found Marie painting and the Doctor was nowhere in sight.
"WHERE'S THE DOCTOR?" Louis shouted at her.
"Doctor who?" she asked all sweetly. A sneeze came from under her dress and we all looked down. Louis pulled the bottom of the dress up and the Doctor's head popped out of it and I could see he was wearing almost nothing.
"Hello, um this isn't really as bad as it looks" the Doctor said.
"Oh that's it. Louis, forget executing him I get to kill him" I shouted at the Doctor. And of course the Doctor and I were dragged off to jail but luckily escaped before being executed.
(Present Day)
I was sitting in a café tapping my fingers on the table. I hadn't seen the Doctor in a day, it had all started out like every normal day you know fight some aliens and then go to lunch. While we had been eating lunch in this exact café I was sitting in nowI had left for seriously just only a moment and when I came back he disappeared and now for once in my life I was all by myself. 2 months ago Rory and Amy had left to live a sort of happy married couple life and we both promised we'd meet up soon but still nothing had happened, and I was missing them like crazy. Anyways I had come back to this café hoping that he'd just show up saying he forgot something in the Tardis and it had taken him for a joy ride or something and so he decided to just come back to the same place he saw me hoping I would still be there saying that he thought he had only been gone for five minutes.
"You should really contact the police you know" this skinny, slightly attractive man, with curly black hair and grayish blue eyes said sitting across from me. I nearly jumped at the sound of his voice considering that I was so busy thinking about the Doctor that I hadn't noticed him sliding into the seat across from me.
"Excuse me?" I asked.
"Let's see I'm guessing you travel a lot considering you have a well worn out backpack next to you but you don't have a job because you are dressed way to casual, but from the look of your engagement ring I can see why you're unemployment isn't hurting that much because your fiancée is rich enough to sustain for the both of you, so he must be one of those traveling Doctor's then, which gives him a good reason for being kidnapped because he's got money, and from the way you seem worried it's seem like he's been gone what a day? So technically you can't go to the police then till another 24 hours" the man said.
"That's creepy" I said considering he was slightly right about everything he just guessed at.
"Thank you" he smiled.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Sherlock Holmes, I'm a consultant detective" he said.
"I'm-"
"Darcy" he cut me off.
" Ok that is seriously freaky now" I whispered.
"It's on your bracelet" he told me. And I looked at the cheesy best friend bracelet with my name on it that Amy had given me for my birthday.
"So why did you just randomly walk up to me?" I asked.
"To warn you" he said.
"About?"
"Use your peripheral vision and look to the left. Do you see that man?" he asked. I did as he said and saw this strange creepy looking man staring at us and then I nodded.
"He's been standing there ever since you got here. It looks like he's contemplating about something which means like all kidnappers they like to use the same spot more than once" he told me. But the Doctor wasn't kidnapped I think I thought to myself but that made sense if someone had kidnapped the Doctor and wanted him to spill some huge secret I know he wouldn't crack so they would go for me next to make him talk.
"So what do I do?" I asked.
"Get up slowly if he follows you we'll have to run" he said.
"We?" I asked.
"I know all the streets of London so I'm practically the perfect getaway car" he said. I agreed and got up slowly. Then a couple seconds later Sherlock started running in front of me and I think that meant Follow me and run for your life. Not like I haven't done this before I thought to myself. We kept running through the streets, jumping on top of roof tops, and going through alleys but that guy who had been following me was still not that far behind us.
"WAIT MS." He shouted chasing after us.
"IT'S FROM SOME BLOKE CALLED THE DOCTOR" he said taking out this envelope. That immediately made me stop in my tracks. Sherlock gave me an annoyed look when I stopped. I help up a finger meaning one second.
"Is it really from the Doctor" I asked.
"Yes just take the stupid letter he said something like it was the most important thing in the universe" the man said catching his breath. When I took it from him he just walked away. I was about to open it but Sherlock ripped it out of my hands.
"Give me that" I said having to jump to get it out of his hands considering he was so tall.
"Hang on I'm checking to see if there's any anthrax in it" he said sniffing it. Once he checked it I grabbed it. It was an envelope that was Tardis blue with the numbers 1.5 on it. I opened it and saw tomorrow's date, a certain time, and saw that it wanted me to go somewhere in Utah? It didn't matter it was from the Doctor.
"So um thanks Holmesy I've got to go now found my fiancée but hey stick to that detective thing. TAXI" I shouted wanting to get to the airport as quickly as I could and leaving Sherlock there utterly confused.
(AMERICA)
I was sitting in the middle of this minivan with 4 little blonde kids staring at me as we drove through the desert. When I got to Utah it turned out that there were no planes that could take me to the exact coordinates the Doctor had given me and I didn't have enough to pay for a taxi so I had to hitchhike and was thankfully picked up by this normal family of 6 all with blonde hair, tanned and slightly freckled skin, and blue eyes. The car ride seemed to go on forever because of the slow bus driver that was in front of us. I looked at the letter again seeing as the time was getting closer for me to meet him.
"Excuse me could you possibly go faster" I asked Mr. Johanssen, the father of the family.
"It's a one way road, dear" he said in his southern accent.
"Then honk, please I'm sort of in a hurry" I pleaded.
"That would be rude" Mrs. Johanssen told me. Finally we got to where we needed to be and strangely the bus in front of us also stopped. I gracefully climbed out of the car and told the Johanssen's thank you. When they pulled away I looked at my surroundings which where canyon's and desert's perfect place to shoot a western. And then I heard this loud squeak and saw this great flash of red hair coming towards me.
"DARCY" it screamed. And then I realized it was Amy. I hugged her back screaming and jumping up and down. Then I hugged Rory.
"Oh it's so great to see you two here it's been so long" I told them.
"Wait hang on a second, Thank you" Rory told the bus driver which was still parked.
"You're very welcome" he said.
"So is this the right place then?" Amy asked.
"Let's see America, middle of nowhere yeah this is it" Rory joked as the bus pulled away.
"Howdy" I heard this familiar voice say behind us and it gave me butterflies in my stomach. I turned around and saw the Doctor wearing a Stetson just sitting on this old car that you usually saw in movies from the fifties.
"Doctor" I said running to him smiling, even though I should have been mad at him for leaving me.
"Ahh Darcy it's so good to see you, my girl Darcy" he said hugging me tighter than and spinning me around.
"Oh and it's the Ponds hello Amy come here" he said hugging her.
"You two have been busy" Amy told him.
"You saw us in history books then?" I asked thinking about our little trip to Versailles.
"Of course how else would I know where you were" she said.
"Stalker" the Doctor told her.
"Ah hem" Rory coughed.
"And if it isn't Rory the Roman come here" he said hugging Rory.
"Nice hat" Rory told him.
"I wear a Stetson now Stetson's are cool" the Doctor said. And right there the hat was blown off his head. We all turned around and to my surprise I saw River with a gun in her hand blowing the smoke away.
"Hello Sweetie" she said. We all smiled at each other and walked to this diner. Amy, Rory, and I ordered the food while River and Doctor compared time traveler diaries. Some of them the Doctor must have done while he had gone missing because I had no clue what they were talking about.
"Oh hang on let's see Darcy, have we saved the Von Traps from the Nazis yet?" she asked looking through her diary.
"Yes, I still can't believe they wouldn't sing the Edelweiss while climbing through those hills. That movie was a total lie" I joked.
"What are you three talking about?" Rory asked sitting down with us.
"They are time travelers and the keep meeting up on the wrong timelines so they keep journals" Amy explained.
"Well the Doctor does for the both of us. I'm too lazy to remember to write everything down" I said. The Doctor smiled at me.
"So why are we all here?" Amy asked.
"I've been running faster than I've ever run before. And I've been running around my whole life so now it's time for me to stop and tonight I'm going to need you all with me" the Doctor said.
"Okay. So what's the plan?" I asked ready to go along with anything he said.
"A picnic, I want to go somewhere new" the Doctor said.
"And that would be?" Amy urged.
"Space" he said.
"The Final Frontier" I joked. Everyone laughed at that. Hey a joke someone finally finds funny I thought.
"No space in 1969" he said. After we finished our sodas the Doctor toke us to this little lake and we sat on a blanket out on this very smooth area of the canyon we were in and started to drink wine.
"So when are we going to 1969?" Rory asked.
"Forget that since when do you drink wine?" I asked the Doctor considering the last time I saw him drink he just spit it out.
"I'm 1103 I must have drank it at some point" he said taking a big swig of the bottle we had and doing the same thing he did last time he had alcohol and backwashed it. We all laughed at him.
"Wait 1103, you were gone for a day and you aged about 200 years" I said.
"Well you look exactly the same and I'm not whining about it" the Doctor snapped. I saw Amy looking at something behind me.
"Who's that?" she asked. I turned around and didn't see anybody.
"Who?" I asked.
"What?" she said getting this confused look on her face. We both just shook it off.
"Wow look at that, the moon the great silvery thing in the sky of course you lot couldn't just stay away from it you actually had to go and see it for yourselves" the Doctor said.
"I think that's a compliment" I said to River and she nodded.
"Wait 1969, that's when the moon landed, is that where we are going?" Rory asked.
"No there's more things than that, that people don't remember about 1969. Human's I thought I'd never get done saving you" the Doctor smiled. I heard a car pull up behind us. The Doctor got this nervous look on his face and stood up and waved at the person getting out of the car.
"Who's that?" Amy asked.
"Oh my god" River whispered. We tore attention away from the man in the truck to see an astronaut standing right in the middle of the lake.
"You all need to stay back" the Doctor said. He turned around and gave me this look that I always hated to see because I knew that look meant something terrible was about to happen and he couldn't stop it. I started to shake my head.
"It's going to be ok" he comforted me and then kissed me before walking off.
"Whatever happens now you do not interfere" he said to all of us. Him and the astronaut met at a halfway point but we couldn't hear what they were saying. Then the astronaut pulled out a gun and shot at the Doctor twice. I saw him fall to the ground and then I saw a familiar orange light go around him. Amy and I tried to run to him but River and Rory held us back.
"I'm sorry" I could hear the Doctor say as he looked at us and then the light started to get brighter but then the astronaut shot him again and that light went out faster than a candle and I saw the Doctor fall to the ground dead. We all ran to him and saw that he wasn't moving. I was in full on tears now. River tried to shoot the astronaut but missed.
"Come on Doctor, please wake up. It's me ,it's Darcy, come on wake up, remember we have a baby girl and her name is Macy and she's just gorgeous, I won't let her grow up without a Daddy, and we're going to get married. Come on Doctor please wake up, please" I pleaded crying on top of him now.
"He can't be dead" Amy cried.
"Whatever it was that killed him, it killed him while he was regenerating so he was already dead" River said.
"Well maybe he's a clone or a duplicate" I said.
"I can tell you one thing that is most certainly the Doctor and he is most certainly dead" this old man said. And I realized he was the one who had pulled up in the truck.
"He said you would need this" the old man continued setting down a gas can by the Doctor's foot.
"Gasoline?" Rory asked.
"A time lords body is a miracle even a dead one. There are whole empires that would rips this planet apart for just one single cell of it. We can't leave it anywhere" River said.
"Come on my big idiot wake up, please" I said crying on his chest.
"Rory what do we do?" Amy asked rubbing my back.
"We do what the Doctor's friends always do as he says" River said picking up the gas can. I never did listen to him I thought.
"There's a boat if we are going to do this, let's do this properly" Rory said. So he pulled the boat over and put the Doctor in it lit it on fire and pushed it away. I stood there in the lake with Rory, hugging him wanting the Doctor to just jump out of the boat and go "Sike". We eventually came out of the lake and saw River talking to the old man.
"Who are you and why did you come?" she asked him.
"Same reason as you" he said pulling out a blue envelope almost identical to mine except his had a four on it. We all did the same and I saw that River's was number 2 and Amy and Rory where number 3.
"River, Amy, Rory, Darcy. I'm Canton Everett Delaware III. I won't be seeing you again but you'll be seeing me" Canton, the old man, said getting back into his truck and driving away. We all walked back to the diner. Halfway there River realized something.
"Four" she said.
"What?" I asked.
"Four the Doctor gave us four well technically five letters. They were numbered. Darcy was the 1.5, I was 2, Rory and Amy where 3, and Canton was 4. So who was 1? He planned every detail of this but 1 never showed up" River said as we walked into the diner.
"If he really wanted this plan to go perfectly then how come he didn't flip out when one never showed up" I said.
"So you two are saying that you think he invited someone else then?" Rory asked. River and I nodded.
"Will you all shut up it doesn't matter anymore" Amy mumbled.
"So space 1969 what does that mean then?" I asked.
"You're still talking, it doesn't matter anymore" Amy snapped.
"It mattered to him so it matters to us" I told her getting angry now.
"He's dead" she said tearing up.
"I know but right now we have to focus" I said hugging her. Rory tapped River on the shoulder and pointed at something. Amy and I looked at what he was pointing at and I saw a Tardis blue envelope with the number 1 on it.
"Excuse me who was sitting there?" Rory asked a waiter.
"Some guy" he said.
"Oh you're helpful" I said.
"The Doctor knew he was going to die so he sent out messages. When you know it's the end who do you call?" River asked us?
"Um your friends people you trust" Rory guessed.
"Number one then. Who did he trust the most?" River asked a door opened behind her and to my shock I saw the Doctor standing right there in the middle of the doorway.
Oooooooh cliffy sort of. Oh quick question in Series 3 didn't the Doctor mention something about going to the moon landing like 3 times or something so I was wondering how the Doctor said space in 1969 was new to him? I could be completely wrong so I hope someone answer's my question because I didn't realize it till now. And another thing idk why but the beginning of this episode like always gives me butterflies in my stomach because it's so cool and it's all like BOOOM THE DOCTOR IS BACK . HEY WHOVIANS DID YOU MISS US? hehe.
