After this morning we're both a bit off. I mean how do we act now? And what do we do around companions?

Being Guandan's is a little weird anyway. Every companion I've ever met has already noticed somethings strange about us. Now we're going to look really weird.

Life is going to change. I know it. He knows it. Everything will change.

Doctor

Things have been slightly awkward since this morning. I'm not entirely sure why. We are Guandan's after all. I expected this to happen at some point.

Maybe it's the way it happened. Was it right for me to do it like that or should we have talked about it more first?

Maybe I should ask her.

Alicia

"Ally, I think we need to talk."

Oh good, I didn't want to be the first to say it. We go to my room which feels more private, even though we're the only ones on the TARDIS.

He sits on the sofa and pats directly beside him, so I sit down there.

But he doesn't say what I thought he was going to say.

Doctor

I feel like I've got cold feet. Here goes.

"Ally you are okay with this morning aren't you?

Do you think I should have taught you more about sex first?

And I don't feel if I've done right by you. I think the whole..."

"Doctor if you're worried that I didn't enjoy myself then you're wrong. Yeah it was a bit scary not knowing anything so maybe you should have taught me something.

I don't know what you would have said. It's not like I was about to come along one day and say 'hey Doctor can you give me some sex education?'

So it could have been better. But we did it, and I was a bit scared but I liked it. End of."

I thought for a moment.

"Well maybe I should teach you a few things before next time then. "

Not that I know where to start.

Alicia

"So, what happens next?"

He rubs the back of his neck.

"I guess we shouldn't have any friends on board for a while. I think we're going to be busy.


He was right, we are busy.

The Doctor's version of sex education was very personal.

He started straight away, with this morning.

He asked me which part I was most concerned about which was definitely when he went inside me with no explanation.

A hand brushed through his hair.

"In the most simple terms when it comes to a man and woman sex is when the man penetrates the woman's vagina with his penis."

Oh.

"So that was the part that I freaked out about because you didn't mention it first."

"Yes. I know I should have told you about it first. "

"Thinking back, yeah you definitely should have. "

"Sorry "

"It's okay." I sigh.

"Do you want a break?"

"Yeah okay." I must be looking tired.

"I'm still sorry.

"I know. Come on, I could really do with some sleep and I need you for that too."

"Right."

DoctorI feel like I've completely betrayed her.

I really should have taught her more about sex, I knew she was the right age years ago.

I guess I got distracted.

There's no excuse. I didn't do it.

At least she hasn't killed me.
