"Right then, are you ready to go?" The Woman said to Max, who was wearing an anime tank top with shorts going to the middle of her thighs. Max didn't say anything, but she just glared at the woman. The woman stood there expecting a response, but eventually gave up.
A car pulled up in front of the hospital where the woman and Max had walked out of. It was an Audi. It stopped in front of the two. The woman turned to Max.
"I can't imagine you want to be in a car with me, so I got a friend of mine to drive you. Will you be ok?" The woman asked. Max didn't say anything. She just opened the backdoor of the car. She tossed the luggage in and opened the door to the front seat. The driver was very different to what she expected. He had a mini Afro with a multi color jacket. He seemed surprised at who opened the door. The woman looked into the car.
"I thought you were going to wear your blue outfit." She said, sternly. The man scoffed.
"Well, it's not like I need it to do my job." He said back with an English accent revealing some sarcasm. Max was amused, but she didn't show it. She just got in the car. The woman came down to face her, but Max closed the door before she could talk. She looked at her fingers with a pained look on her face. Max had closed the door on her finger. The driver looked back and seemed a bit confused.
"I know she's annoying but that's no reason to get physical. It could become a nasty habit." He said, trying to show a bit of a more superior tone. Max just ignored him. He sighed and started to drive away. Max watched the parked cars go by as they left the hospital. She put her head back and closed her eyes. But the driver interrupted her inner silence.
"Aren't you going to ask my name?" He asked. Max looked at him, surprised at his sudden question. Then she shrugged.
"It's how most people start a conversation." The driver said. Max shook her head.
"I don't want to talk right now." She said. Her voice was a bit higher than the driver expected.
"You don't have your phone, what else are you going to do?" The driver asked. Max was a bit surprised by his arrogant questions. She just ignored him. She sat back, a bit upset that she spoke. After a few minutes, the driver piped up again.
"Do all teenagers dress like that?" He asked. Max decided that was the last straw. She sat up straight and looked at him.
"Ok look, I know you're trying to be funny, but I've been through a lot the last few weeks. So they last thing I need right now is jokes. Besides, if anyone needs a change of clothes, it's you." Max said. The driver seemed a bit annoyed.
"Oh, I'll have you know, there are civilizations that see this coat as a high level of honor." He stated back. Max scoffed.
"Not any I've seen." She stated back.
"Well, you wouldn't. Not in your circumstances." He stated. Max was a bit put off by that.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked.
"It means that in your circumstances, you wouldn't meet any civilizations that like this coat. It's not like you get out much." He stated.
"Oh so, because I'm emo, I don't leave my room?" She confronted. The driver shook his head.
"Oh no, it's because you don't commonly see cultures that I do." He stated. She sighed. She was done fighting with him.
"What's your name?" He asked her. She sighed.
"Maxine." She said.
"Well then, Maxine, what happened to you?" He asked, trying to show a more open side. She didn't feel like talking, but something about the driver made her trust him.
"A lot, my dad wasn't a good person, my best friend was killed in front of me, and I crashed a car into a house." She stated to him. The driver didn't seem shocked. He actually seemed sad, like he was remembering something he didn't want to.
"I'm sorry. About your friend." He said. Max was surprised at his sudden change in personality.
"That's what you took out of all of that? Why did you focus on that?" Max asked.
"Because as long as your dad is alive, he can make an effort to fix what he did. I lost a friend of mine to." He stated. At first, Max was going to say that she didn't think her dad could fix anything he did. But when he said he lost someone to, Max chose to focus on that.
"What was their name?" Max asked. The driver hesitated, but he responded.
"Her name was Peri Brown. She was a scholar. My people killed her, family I mean. I knew her for a long time. What was your friend's name?" He asked. Max almost called her friend the Doctor, but stopped herself.
"His name was Zach, Zach Smith. He was weird kind of guy." She said. The driver nodded.
"Sounds like the kind of person I would usually meet." He said. Max decided to change the subject.
"So, what's your name?" She asked.
"Oh? Ready to start conversation now, are we?" He asked. Max smiled a little at the joke.
"Sure." She said.
"Well, most people call me The Doctor." He said. Max's heart skipped a beat. She looked at him with shock.
"You're, the Doctor?!" She said, verbally shocked. The Doctor looked at her with curiosity.
"You seem surprised. You expecting someone else?" He asked. Max couldn't say anything at first. The Doctor, her doctor, had told her about regeneration before, because of Mr. Smith. She decided to tell him.
"My friend, Zach. Well, he's also the Doctor." She said, stuttering. The Doctor seemed shocked.
"He's what?" He asked. Max nodded.
"Yeah, are you a past version?" She asked.
"I think you mean, is he a future version. And I would assume so, as I don't remember you." The Doctor responded. Max sat back.
"Wow, I never knew you could be so different." Max said. The Doctor shrugged.
"Oh trust me, you have no idea." He said. Max thought, but then she got an idea.
"Are you stuck here to?" She asked.
"No, why would I be stuck?" He asked.
"Well, your time machine was human, whatever it was called." She said. The Doctor looked at me with a look of disbelief.
"She what? How?" He asked.
"I don't know, I guess you'll find out when it happens." Max said. The Doctor scoffed.
"Oh great, I hate suspense." The Doctor responded. Then he changed the subject. "What am I like?" He asked.
"Well, you're a lot younger. You look my age." Max stated. The Doctor seemed upset.
"Oh no, not good at all." He said. Max shrugged.
"I don't know, you were pretty nice. You were the only guy in my school that was nice to me." Max said. The Doctor nodded.
"At least I've kept my sense of charm." He said. Max laughed.
"He was pretty hot also." She said absentmindedly. The Doctor looked surprised.
"Good grief, what?" He asked.
"Oh uh, sorry, never mind." Max quickly said. The Doctor rolled his eyes.
"Please don't tell me you like me, do you?" He asked. Max sighed.
"I don't know, I thought I did. But now I don't know. Plus, it's not like anything could happen." Max said, a bit sad. The Doctor didn't notice.
"Well I would hope so." He said.
"Because he's dead and all." Max said. The Doctor looked at her.
"Oh yes." He said. Max was surprised at his surprising calm look.
"Aren't you surprised? Or scared?" Max asked.
"Of what? Death? Ha! I'd like to see a battle where death gets one over on me. It's already tried 5 times!" He said with a laugh. Max nodded.
"So, you're the 6th?" Max asked. The Doctor nodded.
"Yep. I'm number 6. Which one is he?" The Doctor asked.
"I don't know. He never told me." Max stated.
"Well, you'll have to ask him next time you see him." The Doctor said.
"You think he's, well you're, alive?" She asked.
"Yes, I very much do believe that." He said. Max smiled.
"Well, I hope he is too." She stated. All of the sudden, the car pulled over. They had arrived at an airport.
"Well, Maxine, here we are." He said. Max looked at the airport.
"Where am I going?" She asked.
"I don't know, she never told me." He said, getting out of the car.
"Oh no, you don't need to help me." She said.
"I wasn't getting out to help. I got out so I can go back to my TARDIS." He said, pointing at a tall wooden blue box. Max quickly got out.
"So that's it?" She asked. The Doctor nodded.
"Yep, I presume you've never seen it before?" He asked. Max nodded.
"What's it like inside?" Max asked.
"I think I should let your doctor explain. I wouldn't want to pleasure being taken from him." He said, starting to walk back.
"Oh come on! I don't get a sneak peak?" She asked. The Doctor took a key out of his pocket and put it into the box. He looked back at Max.
"What do you think I'm going to show you now?" He asked. He walked inside and closed the door. Max was anticipating what she was about to see. All of the sudden, the light on top starting lighting up. A loud groaning noise came from the box. Max felt wind fly through her black hair. She smiled. It was the same as she saw Chelsea do the first time they met. Max laughed.
"Oh you are kidding me." She said. But she felt a hand touch her on the shoulder. She quickly turned to see the woman.
"What's wrong?" She asked. Max smiled.
"He's alive! The Doctor's alive!" She said almost shouting, attracting the attention of people around. The woman motioned them to move along. She looked back at Max.
"Oh max, we have a lot of work to do." She said, looking a bit sad. Max lost her smile. She had almost forgotten about where she had to go. She followed the woman slowly, not sure what was going to happen. But she had a tiny sliver of hope she didn't have before.
Well, that's it! The final special before season 2 airs. I hope you all enjoyed this short story of Max meeting the 6th Doctor. I was inspired by a 6th Doctor big finish story featuring a character called Maxine. (It was called The Condemmed). I am so excited to write the next season so chapter 1 of the new season will come out soon. I plan on season 2 being a completely seperate entity from season 1 so the context isn't needed. I hope you guys enjoy, and I also welcome OC's for season 2. (I will use them if they are students or maybe teachers. But I'm not exactly able to use anyone else.). Anyway, ttyl! -Thegamerdude256
