Author's Note: Sorry but this isn't a chapter just an author's note! But I am working on Midnight, so hopefully you get an update soon! I just wanted to let you guys know that I created an ask blog for Scarlett! So send her questions and she'll anwser them. Just don't ask her about the Doctor, she'll strangle you if you do (her words not mine ;) But just so you get something, I'll show you what I have so far for Midnight! ;) Here it is!
Scarlett's POV…
"Sky-Guy, do you have to call Donna again?" I asked him in exasperation as we stood by a public phone where the Doctor was going to call my sister again to try and convince her to go on this trip.
But she would rather be at the spa, then go to the Sapphire Waterfall that the Doctor had been going on and on about for the past few weeks. I would have gone with her to the spa, but I didn't want the Doctor to be alone because it was never a good thing when he was.
"Yes!" The Doctor answered loudly as he typed in the number. "She has to see this, Scarlett! It's brilliant!"
"But she doesn't want to go." I protested but it was already too late because he had the phone on his ear and I sighed before scooting in close to hear the conversation.
"I said no!" I heard my sister exclaim on the other end of the phone.
"I tried to stop him, Donna!" I told my sister, raising my voice so my sister could hear me.
The Doctor ignored me as he spoke up, excitement in his voice. "Sapphire waterfall – it's a waterfall made of sapphires!" I shook my head at him, but he didn't notice. "This enormous jewel, size of a glacier, reaches the Cliff of Oblivion, and then shatters into sapphires at the edge – they fall 100,000 feet into a crystal ravine." The way he said would make anyone want to go see it for themselves, but not Donna.
"I bet you say that to all the girls." She teased him cheekily. I laughed and the Doctor gave me a look, his cheeks a little pink.
"What?" I asked. "You probably do. Charmer." I grinned at him teasingly, causing him to roll his eyes but the pink on his cheeks grew a little darker. I laughed, this time to myself. Geez, it was so easy to get him flushed.
The Doctor turned his attention back to Donna. "Come on! They're boarding now! Four hours, that's all it takes."
"No, that's four hours there and four hours back, it's like a school trip. I'd rather go sunbathing. And besides, you have Scar with you, so just be glad someone is going with you."
He sighed, knowing my sister had a point. "Alright fine, you don't have to come."
"Finally!" I exclaimed, earning a hard nudge in the side. It didn't even hurt as I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Thank you." Donna said, getting the Doctor's attention.
"But you be care, that's Xtonic light." He warned her.
"Oh, I'm safe. It says on the brochure this glass is fifteen feel thick."
The Doctor nodded. "Alright then," he said. "Scarlett and I will be back for dinner, we'll try that anti-gravity restaurant. With bibs."
"Sounds good."
The Doctor smiled. "See you later."
"You be careful!" my sister told him. "And take care of my sister, don't let her get into too much trouble."
"Impossible."
"Hey!" I scowled, crossing my arms over my chest. "I resent that!" Then I heard Donna laughing on the other end and I pouted to myself. They were so mean to me.
"Honestly though, there's nothing to worry about." The Doctor told Donna. "Taking a big space truck with a bunch of strangers across a diamond planet called Midnight – what could possibly go wrong?" With that, he hung up the phone and turned to me, grinning excitedly. "Come on then, allons'y!" He grabbed my hand and tugged me in the direction of the shuttle with me rolling my eyes with an amused look on my face at his excitement.

As we sat in the shuttle together, the Doctor watched the last of the passengers come inside as I read from the fashion magazine I brought with me from the TARDIS. I wasn't that far into it when I heard the Hostess speaking. I looked up to see her a couple rows behind us, talking to a blonde woman.
"Complimentary juice pack and complimentary…"
The woman cut her off, sinking down a little in her chair. "Just the headphones, please."
The Hostess handed them to her. "There you go."
I stared at the blonde woman for a moment before turning my attention back to my magazine, which I didn't have to look at for that long as the Hostess came over to us and started handing us things. A lot of things.
"That's headphones for Channel 1 to 36; modem link for 3D videogames; complimentary earblugs; complimentary slippers; complimentary juice pack; and complimentary peanuts."
"Ooh, peanuts!" I cried excitedly, ignoring all the rest of the stuff and opening the medium size bag of peanuts. That's the only thing I loved about going on a plane, the complimentary peanuts. I munched on a couple of them as the Hostess said,
"I must warn you some products may contain nuts."
"That'll be the peanuts." The Doctor joked, but it wasn't really funny.
The Hostess looked at him a little strangely. She brushed it off though.
"Well, I hope you and your girlfriend enjoy your trip."
Instead of protesting this like I always did, I just ignored it. Honestly, I was just tired of protesting about it, especially since I admitted to myself that I did have feelings for him.
The Doctor didn't protest either, strangely enough. He just grinned at her.
"Oh, we can't wait! Allons'y!"
And there you go! ;) And please go and follow Scarlett, the url is ask scarlett noble at tumblr . com! We both look forward to your questions! ;)
