Thanks to HBR the dark princess for following/faving my story.
Guest: (chapter 2) oh, I didn't know that. Looks like you learn something new every day. This is fanfiction though so it won't always by historically accurate.
NicoleR85: thanks!
"Is he going to be alright?" Donna asked Alyssa as she looked back on the Time Lord who was still sulking in the captain's chair.
"He'll be fine", Alyssa said knowing that he would cheer up once they were on another adventure. She led Donna down a few corridors until she stopped outside of a door. "This is your room", the red head said pushing open a door. Donna was surprised to see that the room was empty.
"Its empty Ali", she pointed out.
"For the moment", Alyssa said and closed the door "now I want you to close your eyes and picture your dream bedroom".
"Why?" Donna asked confused.
"You'll see", Alyssa said.
Donna looked at her for a moment before closing her eyes and picturing the bedroom she'd always wanted. As she was doing that, Alyssa rubbed her chest as she'd gotten a strange feeling in her chest. It was the same one she had on the Titanic and occasionally gotten in the months prior to seeing Donna again. Alyssa never told the Doctor about it as she didn't want him to worry. Besides the feeling she'd get in her chest wasn't painful at all, it was uncomfortable. "Ok you can open your eyes now", Alyssa told Donna when she saw the ginger's name appear on the door, just like it did for herself and Martha's rooms.
Donna looked at Alyssa when she saw her name on the door "go ahead", Alyssa said and Donna opened the door. Her mouth dropped open when she saw the room that she'd imagined in her head. "I take it this is how you imagined the room to be?" Alyssa asked following the surprised ginger inside.
"Down to the last detail", Donna replied "this is incredible! Thank you!" Alyssa smiled as the woman happily hugged her.
"Don't thank me. Thank Sexy", Alyssa said.
Donna looked up at the ceiling and said "thanks Sexy".
You're welcome
"She says you're welcome", Alyssa said as she knew the woman couldn't hear the TARDIS speak "I think if you check, you might find all your stuff has been moved in here". Sure enough when Donna pulled open a drawer, she found the shirt's she'd packed.
"Amazing", Donna said.
"You think creating bedrooms is amazing, you haven't seen anything yet", Alyssa said "but I know you've got questions. Did you want to grab a tea and have a chat or did you want to have a bit more of a tour around the TARDIS?"
"I think I'd like to have a chat. Could we do the tour tomorrow?" Donna asked.
"Sure", Alyssa replied. She then left the room with Donna to take her to the kitchen. "So what do you want to know?" Alyssa asked when they reached the reasonable sized kitchen.
"I've got so many questions. I don't know where to start", Donna admitted.
"Well as the song goes 'let's start at the very beginning. It's a very good place to start'", Alyssa said crossing the kitchen floor to the kettle. Donna sat down at the table listening to Alyssa as explained how she first met the Doctor whilst making the tea.
"I don't believe it. He actually pretended to be a human?" Donna asked finding that hard to imagine.
"Yep. He did a pretty good job of it actually" Alyssa replied going to the table with two mugs of tea. "I didn't even know he was an alien until after we'd stopped Tanya", Alyssa then launched into the tale of how the reporter was an alien in disguise who'd almost killed her twice. It was thanks to the Doctor that Tanya was unsuccessful "…shortly after that he took me on as a companion".
"The last time I met you, you were with Ben and pretty excited about you're upcoming to across Europe", Donna said "So how did you end up in a relationship with the Doctor?"
"It was Martha", Alyssa said "She was the one who made us both realise we loved each other. Which should've been a wonderful discovery except…"
"You were already in a relationship", Donna finished.
"Exactly", Alyssa said "For a while I was torn between the Doctor and Ben. I loved them both. Eventually I'd chosen the Doctor. Which brought up another problem. How to tell my boyfriend that I was breaking up with him because I was in love with someone else".
"I can't imagine how hard it must've been for you", Donna remarked.
"Well it was made a whole lot easier when I received an anonymous email which told me Ben had been cheating on me" Donna's mouth dropped open in shock.
"He was cheating on you?!" the ginger cried.
"Yep", Alyssa said popping the p.
"Ben's an idiot", Donna stated. She couldn't see why anyone would want to cheat on her.
"You got that right", Alyssa agreed.
"Would it be ok if I slapped him for cheating on you?" Donna asked really hoping she'd say yes.
"That won't be necessary Donna", Alyssa assured her "As far as I'm concerned its Ben's loss. Besides I'm with the Doctor now and its going really well".
"It doesn't put you off the fact that he's so skinny?" Donna asked getting a laugh from Alyssa.
"Not really. Appearances doesn't matter when you really love someone which I do. I love my spaceman with all my heart", she said.
"Spaceman?" Donna asked.
"Yeah you're nickname for him kinda stuck. He doesn't mind", Alyssa paused briefly "At least I don't think he does". There was a moment of silence while both women drank their tea.
"Ali, how did you manage to stop us from getting shot by Miss Foster's guards?" Donna questioned.
"I used my powers", Alyssa replied.
"Powers?" Donna repeated, looking at her incredulously.
"I have psychic powers that allow me to move things", Alyssa told her.
"Like Miss Foster and her guards", Donna said.
"Exactly. For stopping the bullets I created a wall of psychic energy so they hit that instead of us", Alyssa explained.
"Why didn't you use them at Christmas?" Donna asked thinking about those exploding baubles at the reception.
"I didn't have those particular powers at that point. The only thing I had then was my empath ones. That's the sensing of feelings and emotions"
"How did you gain you powers?" Donna asked, interested.
"My empath ones I was born with. I inherited those from my paternal grandmother Emma. The other ones I obtained during my travels with the Doctor" Alyssa proceeded to tell Donna about what happened at the convention. Donna wasn't quite sure what to say about what Alyssa had just told her. "I realise I've told you quite a lot Donna and I get if this all sounds unbelievable…"
"Actually Ali I do believe you. How did the Doctor take it?"
"He was surprised by it. However he was very supportive and went out of his way to help me control these powers. In all honesty don't think I could've managed without him", Alyssa said.
"You really love him don't you?" Donna asked seeing the look on Alyssa's face when she spoke about the Doctor.
"I do love him Donna. So much", she said honestly.
"So are you really going to not kiss him for a week? Because the cable breaking wasn't his fault"
"I know Donna. But I warned him what would happen if the cable did break. Although I may possibly only make it a few days instead of a whole week. Just don't tell the Doctor that", Alyssa said saying the last part quietly.
"Don't worry Ali I won't", Donna promised.
