NicoleR85: thanks. I really enjoyed writing Runaway Bride for Nix.
This chapter is dedicated to my fellow Writing Warriors: Raven Mortem, NicholasFlamelFan and my other friend Missy!
The Phoenix rubbed her face tiredly as she tinkered with a music box she was fixing for her adopted daughter, the one she'd tried to fix before Bobby called for help. She had been so busy since that she hadn't had a chance to get back to it. "I should probably get some sleep", she muttered to herself. For one thing she was way overdue for a kip and for another she had a few 'lively' guests in her ship that was going to be up in a few hours.
The Time Lady had taken Donna's advice and gone to see her good friends, the group affectionately known as the Writing Warriors. The red head invited them to travel with her for a bit and one thing lead to another and now they were all passed out from exhaustion. Probably didn't help that they had somehow found her secret…well not so secret stash of sweets and were on a sugar high for hours. The red head set the music box down left her workshop.
As soon as she got to her room, she flopped face down onto the bed, not even bothering to take her shoes off. It seemed like only mere minutes had passed when she was disturbed by Raven shaking her shoulder. "Raven?" she peered her companion sleepily "shouldn't you be asleep?"
"I just can't. The sky's awake, so I'm awake", Raven said in a childish voice making the Time Lady groan loudly.
"Should never have taken you guys to see that movie", she mumbled into her pillow. Prior to sugar overload, she'd taken them into the future to go see the Disney movie: Frozen. Which she was now regretting. The red heard Raven's hands away when she shook her again. "Bug someone else, Raven", she griped.
"But everyone else is asleep!" the black and white haired woman complained.
"Which is what I'm trying to do", the Phoenix said, giving her a half-hearted push without having to move. Raven pouted and wandered toward the doorway. Then she grinned as she got an idea. She skipped back to the dozing Time Lady and prodded her shoulder.
"Do you wanna build a snowman?" Raven sing-songed in her ear.
The Phoenix sat up, rubbing her eyes "if I agree to this, will you let me sleep afterwards?" she asked.
"Yes", Raven replied, eagerly. She grabbed her hand and pulled the red head out of the bed. "To Antarctica!" Raven proclaimed, pointing down the corridor.
"I know I'm gonna regret this", the Phoenix mumbled, allowing herself to be dragged along by her very eager companion.
"I knew I was going to regret this!" the Time Lady shouted as she and Raven ran away from the ticked off Sontarans. She had been aiming for Antarctica but someone had distracted her and they ended up on a snowy planet where those potato heads had been training. With a few 'jokes' from Raven, they were now being chased by said aliens. "Why did you have to call them potato heads?"
"It was funny!" Raven said defensively "not my fault they can't take a joke". She yelped when a shot narrowly missed her head.
"Ok, that's it", the Phoenix said, stopping and turning towards the Sontarans "keep going, I'll deal with them". Raven carried on for a little bit before she stopped. Her mouth dropped open and she laughed seeing the Sontarans' feet stuck in some sort of glue! "I thought I told you to keep going", the Time Lady said when she re-joined the young woman.
"Sorry, its just…" Raven giggled again which made the Phoenix join in "didn't expect you to do that".
"Well, I was itching to use the glue bombs I made ages ago", the red head admitted. It had been River's idea once which she thought was stupid at the time but now….now it was both useful and really funny.
"I'd say it worked very well", Raven remarked "they're sure in a sticky situation now, aren't they?"
The Phoenix groaned at the bad joke she made but was smiling despite that fact it was appalling. "how about we head back to the TARDIS? I don't know about you but I'm ready to go back to sleep", she said.
"Me too", Raven yawned. The pair of them headed back to the TARDIS where Dionysus and Nick was waiting for them. The female Nick, not the male Nick who'd got her attention with Victor the Absorbaloff.
"Don't ask", the Phoenix said "I'll tell you in a few hours". Her companions watched her go. Nick and Dionysus turned back to Raven, waiting expectedly. The black and white haired young woman grinned before she launched into her tale which had them all in fits of laughter.
The Phoenix stopped in the corridor when she heard it and shook her head. "Kids", she said fondly and the TARDIS hummed in agreement.
Several hours later saw the Phoenix in the Simulation Room, practicing with her rediscovered abilities. Suddenly the simulation she was in, changed to the outside, a girly fan in her hands. "Uh…TARDIS? What's going on?" she questioned, utterly confused. She jumped when music started blaring and the door burst open and her three friends/companions danced in, completely drunk.
"I want to be like other girls!" Raven proclaimed, her black and white streaked hair very wild, waving a bottle of rum in the air.
"Climb up a tree like other girls can", Dionysus sung grabbing hold of a branch from the tree that had appeared, swinging from it.
"Just to be free like other girls", the pair chorused "Get to be!"
"Are you three drunk?" the Phoenix asked as Nick ran circles around her, the dyed green haired girl giggling.
To slouch when I sit
Raven slouched down by the tree the red and blue haired woman was hanging from.
To eat a whole cake!
Nick showed the Time Lady a squished cupcake from her pocket. Dionysus landed on the grass with a thud.
Feel the sun on my feet
She waved her bare feet in the air, laughing as she sung the words.
Get dirty
Raven rolled around on the grass.
Act silly
Nick tossed the cupcake over her shoulder, pulling a silly face.
Be anything I want to be
The trio shouted/sung.
To dance around in my underwear
Raven did a handstand, flashing her knickers at the Time Lady. The Phoenix groaned, hiding her face with the fan.
To run really fast
Nick and Dionysus raced around. Raven danced up to the Time Lady, snatching the fan out of her hands.
To get rid of this fan!
To eat a whole cake
Nick repeated.
Get crazy
Raven tried to do a cartwheel but failed in her drunken state.
With frosting
Nick picked up the now squashed and dirty cupcake, making face before she threw it aside again.
No escorts
Dionysus moved over to the Phoenix.
No manners
Nick got right up to the Time Lady.
No nursemaids
Raven joined in.
No worries
No hands folded perfect-
The trio put their hands together.
Like holding a lily
The red head looked between all three of them and sighed. She might as well join them. there wasn't any way she could leave them like this, not while they were completely off their heads on the rum Jack had 'accidently' left behind.
"No pinchy shoes?" the Phoenix asked, tugging her shoes off. Her companions, laughed in delight.
I wanna be like other girls
The four of them sang together.
Scrape up my knee like other girls can
Just to be free,
Like other girls
Get to be
They grabbed each other's hands and danced around and around until they got so dizzy that they fell to the floor, giggling. "Man, you three are completely and utterly nuts", the Phoenix proclaimed.
"That means you're nuts too", Raven slurred "to let us come along".
"Touché", the Time Lady agreed.
