"Doctor" Leela said, her voice strident, angry, and demanding. The Doctor turned to face her, running a hand through his thick, curly brown hair.
"What is it Leela? We're in a bit of trouble, and I don't need you bothering me." Leela crouched, now in front of him, in a defensive posture, absentmindedly gripping the handel of a knife that wasn't there.
"Doctor. I need my knife." The doctor looked at her, as if she had said something very obvious.
"Then why don't you have it?"
"Because you have it!" She hisses. The Doctor looks suprised a moment, eyes wide.
"I do? Oh, yes, I do. Now, where did I put that..." He trails off, rummaging through his pockets, looking for Leela's knife.
"I suggest you stop moving, Time Lord, and turn around slowly. I don't want any tricks." A tall slender man with dark hair says, a long, slim sword pointed at the back of the Doctor's neck. Leela glares at the man, venom in her eyes. She would have attacked him, except for the swarm of well armed guards at his back. The Doctor turns, slowly, hands up, a gleeful expression on his face upon seeing the sword.
"That's a fine sword young man. May I ask where you got it?" The red eyed youth eyes the Doctor with disgust.
"Don't play the fool, Time Lord. Our planets are allied, you know a Bond Sword when you see it. Now, no funny buisness. I want you to stay right there." The man puts his swords away, gesturing to the guardsmen.
"Teslyn. Mieran. Nal. Guard the girl. I don't like her eyes. Imasayn and Raenel, guard the Time Lord. I'll get Mother, she can decide what to do with him and the girl." The five guards break off to their assigned duties, and the rest of the guards went to their previous posts, and the dark heired young man heads off in a seperate direction.
"Would you like a jellybaby, Raenel was it?"

"Mother, there are intruders in the palace. A Time Lord and his companion." The red eyed young man opens the large oaken doors into the throne room of the palace. The pale haired woman on the throne turns towards him, interest sparking in her golden eyes.
"A Time Lord? Very interesting. You haven't done anything... rash, have you Lithinian?" Lithinian shakes his head.
"No Mother. I left some guards guarding him is all."
"Good. I shall go and meet him than. Thank you for telling me, dearheart." She says as she saunters off in the Doctor's direction.

"Are you sure that none of you want a jellybaby?" The Doctor says. The guards glare at him, looking worn.
"No." They repeat, eyes flashing. Even Leela looks to be tired of the repetition.
"Are you absolutely sure-"
"If my guards say they don't want one, then they don't want one." The pale haired woman walks up behind the Doctor, two black swords floating behind her. The Doctor spins around, grins, and walks towards the imposing woman.
"Hullo, I'm the Doctor. It's so nice to meet you. Care for a jellybaby?" The guards take a menacing step forward, ready to protect the white haired woman, and Leela tries to pull the Doctor back. The white haired woman looks at the guards, who stop advancing.
"He is no threat. You may return to your posts. Thank you for your help." Her voice is soft and kind. The guards bow, and stride away. Leela steps up behind the Doctor, and hisses in his ear.
"Doctor! Who is this woman?"
"This my dear Leela..." He says, raising his voice so the woman could hear, and grinning like a maniac.
"Is the Lady Sorianna, Queen of Serapis. She's a good friend of mine." Sorianna smiles wryly at the Doctor.
"Nice to see you again, Doctor. Nice to meet you... Leela was it?"
A/N- Sorianna is the main character in most of my non-fanfiction stories. visit my fiction press stories to read some of them. Also, R&R, so that I write another chapter. Also, this is my first fanfiction, so be gentle.
