That day didn't start well. I argued with my family again, I lost the house keys, and now my best friends, Rory and Amy, were in a really bad mood, just a day before their wedding. I was observing them to discover, why.

We were sitting in Tardis's main control room. I was looking at the trio, trying to read from their behaviours. The ginger girl was definitely avoiding her fiance and his face was straightly saying that he's going to kill SOMEONE in a moment. I could see some tension between them and I was sure that the Time Lord wanted to fix that.
That's why I don't have a boyfriend. And, because I'm just ugly. Well…

I started to travel with the ''Raggedy Man'' few months ago, together with Amy. I couldn't belive that her imaginary friend was real! And today Rory joined us too, I was happy about it, I always liked that sweet angel man.
- Doc, when we'll go somewhere? - I asked, yawning and spinning on a chair, when he was fixing something under the Tardis panel.
- Soon! - he replied, hanging underneath the console platform, doing some welding.

I sighed and rolled eyes. I looked again at my new items. They looked like the metal forearm guards, but they were really comfortable to wear and nicely cooled down my body. I found them in one of the old, messy storeroom on Tardis and the Time Lord let me to take it. I also found there a cool, endless bag that lets to hide many, many stuff inside and amazing, black, rocket boots.

Today The Doctor decided to take the couple for a date, to fix and strengthen their relationship. For a date place, he's chosen a renaissance Venice, so I just had to join them.
For my outfit I chose a brown shirt and a long, black skirt to look more or less like the rest of the Venitian society. Unfortunately, the glasses had to stay on my nose so I wouldn't be blind.

When Tardis landed, we walked out excited. I squeaked happy and looked around the port. This place was perfect! The air was so fresh and the wind was bringing a wonderful Adriatic Sea scent. The architecture was beautiful.
The port was full of the people, walking, talking and just living. Weirdly, they didn't pay an attention on the big, blue box that appeared from nowhere...
- Venezia. La Serenissima… - he started to tell about the city, but I got distracted by a sweet goat coming by me and started to pet it. The owner laughed and I giggled.
- Ooo, that reminds me. 1580. That's all right. Casanova doesn't get born for a hundred and forty five years. Don't want to run into him. I owe him a chicken – Time Lord added having a relief on his face.
- You owe Casanova a chicken? - Rory asked and I chuckled with a perverted face.
- Long story. We had a bet… - I'll have to ask for it later.

A moment later, we got stopped by the city gates by a fancy, older man.
- Whoa, whoa. Papers, if you please. Proof of residency, current bill of medical inspection – he said with an serious tone. The Doctor pulled out his psychic paper and showed it to the guard.
- I am so sorry, Your Holiness. I didn't realise – the official said after reading the paper and he bowed. I facepalmed.
~ Really? A pope? - I laughed in mind and made a big facepalm on my face. I did it again, when The Doctor clumsily blessed the man with the cross sign.
- No worries. You were just doing your job. Sorry, what exactly is your job?

The inspector explained that the black plague was outside the city.
- Signora Calvierri has seen it with her own eyes. Streets are piled high with bodies, she said – when I heard about the pestilence, I thought about SCP-049 and I smiled to myself.

Entering the city, I pulled out my notebook and a pen and I wrote down that I'll have to ask about Casanova, then about the SCP Foundation. I wonder if it exists…
- Hey! - Amy walked to me and wrapped arms around mine – coming? - she asked with a big smile and I nodded, hiding the notebook. We followed the men. I thought that she doesn't want to be close to Rory at this moment.
- I hope you remember our little bet – she grinned sly and I stopped.
- Don't you dare to gimme that here! - I squeaked angry and she only laughed.

The bet is based on the challenges we give for each other. If you don't make one, the other person has the right to tell your darkest secret to 2 persons. We're good friends, so we know much about each other.
I didn't want anyone else to know what I did in the past… it would be so embarrassing… well, Amy has a dark secret I know about too, so we two are doomed. It was my turn to be challenged…
- I even have one in mind – she sang happily and I sighed. She's evil.
- Tell me and let's get over it – I muttered and kept following The Time Lord and Williams.
- You'll have to kiss a man here and record it! - Pond said and giggled, when I punched her arm. Idiot.

Then we got separated. I went to see the churches and the other important culturally places, while the rest decided to see the famous Calvierri School for the girls.
I was slowly walking down the small streets, coming between the buildings, turning to some small alleys. I was admiring the people, their behaviours, outfits and simple life. It was hard to make the pictures without being noticed, but I managed it. I also started to record secretly the place with my small version of Go Pro camera.

Some time later, I got tired and my legs hurt. I decided to find my friends, what wasn't easy, because those alleys were like a damn maze!
I chose some small lane and stopped under an arc. The sun was burning today and it was hot. I waved hand before my face and sighed. I looked around. Some woman was sweeping the street, some girl ran by me giggling. I smiled relaxed and moved fastly forward, without really looking where I'm going. That was a mistake. I felt a pain in my nose when I hit against something, or someone. We spinned around once, then dropped on the ground. I fell on a male chest and before I could stop, my lips accidentaly pressed against the stranger's soft and warm ones. We froze like that for a moment, then I lifted my body on my elbows, feeling all the blood in coming to my cheeks.

Under me, with a big, shocked, blue eyes, was lying a man. A handsome, young man. He was dressed in a royal outfit. His dark hair was a little messy and his elegant hat was lying by him.
I couldn't say a word or move, but I gathered myself fastly and stood up. At least tried, but I stumbled against my skirt and fell on him again with a squeak. He grabbed my arms, like trying to help me.

- I'm… I'm so sorry – I cried, stuttering badly. We finally got up. I grabbed his hat, cleaned it from a dust and handed it to him – I'm really sorry, sir! I… should've paid attention of where I'm going… -
He sighed and took on his hat. I looked at his outfit, it was from a dust too. I walked closer to him and started to shake it off, especially from his golden cape and purple pants. The nose was starting to hurt more and more, but I tried to ignore it.
- Girl, you don't have to do this – the man looked at me over his shoulder.
- I feel guilty – I muttered, then got in front of him and cleaned his chest. His eyes weren't leaving me – I am so clumsy...
- It happens – he said with a deep, rough voice. I looked up at him and blushed even more. He was really handsome. Such a majestry was coming from this person, but something else too. A darkness. A mystery. Like he didn't fit here.
My heart beat stronger few times.

- Blood's coming from your nose – he muttered and tilted head aside.
- Huh? - I touched under it and felt something warm and wet. I sighed, took a tissue and put it to the nostrils. I looked up at the fancy stranger. His breath became heavier and sharpy, his eyes looked shiny and… hungry.
I tensed up and stepped back.
- I'm sorry one more time – I said with a little muffled voice – for the falling and for… the kiss… - I looked aside – have a good day! - I screamed and ran away. His glance followed me till I disappeared behind a wall of a building.

~ At least I've nailed the challenge – I smiled to herself and went to find my companions. Deeply in my heart I couldn't stop to think about that man...

(Yea, we're after the part one~ Tell me if you liked it and have a good day!)
