KITG: ok I writing this because of Nintendogs. I started playing it and called my Dogs after each of the characters. And smeggy dared me to write this. So here it is. Also this id dedicated to Ferntree and the guys at Time&chips
Disclaimer: I do no own Doctor Who or any of its characters. The great chaps at the BBC own them. No Tardis's or Doctors got harmed in this fic, though they did get a tad furry. I cannot take responsibility for reading this fic, if it causes, Furriness, a wet black nose, barking, itching or any dog related acts. Sorry that's your problem. But here have a dog treat.
DOG FOOD FOR ALLThe Doctor felt strange…very strange. He felt…. he didn't know what he felt. He tried to open one eye, and then blinked it shut quickly as the blue sun seared his retina.
Ok blue sun…. he tried to remember what had happened. Rose, Jack and himself had landed on…on where? Blue sun, blue sun he mumbled to himself. AH HA! Toemagoradogma. That was it, the Tardis had landed them here and they had gone out to take a look around. It had been a pleasant planet…. at first anyway. Rose had been ecstatic at the blue sun, commenting that it looked like his eyes. Jack had been his usual self and commented to trust her to link it to his eyes, or to him in general. Causing her to fake punch Jack on the shoulder. They had come upon a road, the bricks of a yellow hue. He smiled at the joke he had made about following the yellow brick road. Rose had rolled her eyes
"Would that make you the wicked witch then?" he smiled again, only dimly realizing his mind wasn't working properly. Rose… the memories of Rose rebuilding his own. He smiled, and was a little afraid by this. How had he got so attached to a silly human ape?
"Yeah, sort of. So if I'm the witch. What's Jack? My flying ape?" He had then turned to Jack, grabbed the man, spun him round and pushed him forward. "Fly my pretty, fly!" he had done in a mock witch voice. Rose had dissolved to giggles, and Jack…
"Ooook. What you two been eating? I am not a Flying ape. I'm more…Lion material""A cowardly lion?" Rose had added between nearly rolling on the floor.
"You are a flying ape, you're an ape. And you used to fly a ship. So see flying ape" He had crossed his arms looking smug. Rose had come up, still laughing putting her arm through the loop of his, hanging on for dear life.
"Don't be so mean Doctor" They all had whipped round as a rustling came from the Orange bushes. Out came a really weird animal, furry, purple, eyes on furry purple storks.
"What are those Doctor?" She had asked
"This planets version of Dogs. Though the one behind that is from another planet. Shouldn't be here" Then there had been another rustle, and out came a black Labrador. Bounding up to Rose it had wagged it's tail, barking. She had scratched its head. "And neither is he?" he had frowned.
"Maybe someone wanted to bring their pet" but it hadn't been right.
"Doubt it" then the dogs had suddenly put their head up, ears alert and with a whine. Ran.
"Wonder what has spooked them" Jack had commented lightly, but he could tell he was on guard. Something was wrong here. They had all spun to the road as a Vehicle had roared down, skidding to a halt before them. The top had opened and out the side of the vehicle had come more Dogs, or their equivalent, all growling. Teeth beard. Wolves from earth, Grogs from Orlac 10. He looked to the open top as the figure emerged
"What we have ere? Some non processed, soon change that" before the Doctor or Jack could grab Rose they had leveled their gun and….
His eyes snapped open. Rose; they had shot her, then him, and then probably Jack. He remembered as his eyes had closed seeing a green shockwave blast out. And seeing Rose lying un-moving on the ground. Eyes closed.
"Rose?" he tried to call, not noticing the growl at the end "Rose?" nothing. He tried to sit up, but his legs and arms wouldn't do what he wanted them to do. He wasn't in pain. But his body didn't seem his own. He tried again and managed to be lying on his stomach. Before him was two animals. One was a blonde Wolf, which he thought was a little strange, and looking over he saw a German Shepard dog. Well that as strange as well, but he couldn't worry about that now.
"Rose!" the Blonde wolf started to stir.
"Doctor?" he whipped his head around looking for her, seemed to come from over were the wolf was.
"Rose. You ok?"
"I feel strange, what about you and Jack? Are you ok?"
"Feel a bit off, but think I'm fine, can't see jack. But not to worry. Where are you?"
"On the road" a growl at the end of her voice. He saw the wolf roll over and look at him. "See a strange black do though, and a German Shepard. The black one is cute, looks like a teddy bear in dog form"
He finally managed to get up on all fours, on looked down, and where he should see hands he saw paws.
"Blimey! Um Rose, don't panic"
"What do you mean don't pan…oh my god…I'm a dog"
"Wolf actually"
"Whatever! I'm a dog. Why am I dog? And why are you a strange dog bear with the Sonic screwdriver on a collar."
"Um, this was my peoples version of a pet dog" he looked up at her giggle "what?"
"Your so cute, can I keep you"
"Shut it. Jack! Jack wake up!" they saw the German Shepard's head whip up "Now don't panic"
"Cool!"
"Trust him" Jack looked at Rose.
"Wow Rose, Bitch takes on a whole new meaning huh?" Rose growled low bearing her teeth "then again…. maybe not"
"Focus you two." He looked to Rose, a collar round her neck, the Tardis key connected to it, then to Jack to see a collar with…a martini on it. He sighed. Typical for Jack.
"So what now Doc…geeze why everyone growling at me?" The Doctor hated being called "Doc" and had involuntarily growled.
"Lets get back to the Tardis" The Doctor started to walk off, strange on his all fours. He looked to the right as Rose came to walk beside him quite gracefully. This surprised him, he expected her to be tripping over her own paws. Much like Jack was doing now. They waited until he got the hang of it.
They walked back along the road until they got to the forest of Oranges and pink trees, the trunks a dark blue, so dark in contrast to the Blue sun, the sky was strange, it looked black, but everything was bright in the blue hue from the sun. Across its skies floated gold clouds. Sparkling in the sun, blue on gold framed by black.
Walking through the purple grass, the earth a pink color, in silence. The birds in the trees, every now a flash of silver as one of the many bird swooped past, called out as they passed. Their call was a howling whoop. Like a sucking of air through a broken whistle "whoopahh" The Doctor looked over to Rose, saw her tongue lick her jaws. She then looked to him.
"So what we going to do once we get to the Tardis?" Her voice still sweet, full of wit even with the deeper, growl like tone.
"Not sure, run a scan and see how this has come about would be the fist order of business"
"Um Doctor? How we going to open the Tardis like this, we can't reach the door"
"You know Jack, you could be a little more helpful, and never seen a dog open a door?"
"Not with a key into the hole that is over 1 meter off the ground no!" they were both snarling at each other now.
"Um guys…I don't think that's going to be a problem" The Doctor and Jack turned to look at what Rose was looking at. In the clearing where The Tardis had stood was now clear of the blue box, but there instead was a Dog much like the Doctor…and it was Dark Tardis Blue.
"Bugger!"
He walked through his city, Wolves and Grogs flanking him, the people bowed to him as he passed, he was their saviour. He wore finery that befitted his role, dazzerling jewels about his form. His taloned hands adorned with rings, shining in the sun. He had become this planets saviour to humans, Gothants, monatras, frankeltis, and numerous other races. When this place was colonized they had brought food like grain and animals to feed upon. 11 months ago a meteor had crashed into the seas, carrying with it a strange disease. It infected the plant organisms, like the grain. But not the animals. But when the animals ate the poisoned grain they died within hours, convulsing. In a matter of a day, all the edible animals had died. Now the numbers of carnivores were dying out. Due to their food source fading away. So what to do? Oh he had found of a way. Killing two birds with one stone. Kill the Prisoners, old, infirm and feed them to the living. But he knew they would not take to eating their own Kind. Eating intelligent beings. So he did something else, what if they weren't intelligent beings. Or didn't look like them anyway. The scientists came up for the Doganlik ray. They never could figure out why it turned them into Dogs, or pet creatures of that nature. But he was no scientist; he couldn't be bothered to figure it out. Besides, they never stayed that way for long. He walked past a shop; it's sign announcing the Dog meat had just been delivered…no…not long at all.
"Tardis?" Rose asked as they walked nearer, the blue dog looked up and wagged its tail as it saw Rose. Gold eyes looking at her as it walked over and nudged her under the neck in a kind of embrace for getting its name right. It gave a little bark that had a musical, timeless tone. Rose could see a collar on her neck too. A Gold disk with like a strip or ribbon like design on it, the ribbon curling into what looked to be an 8 then another was behind it outlining the first, then another. Looked to be 4 ribbons shadowing the first.
"Guess that's the Tardis then. But why?"
"Must have been that Green shockwave."
"Yeah got that, but why change the Tardis?"
"Must change all intelligent life into this…Yes Tardis…. Ok old Girl…. Oh you mean I got it right?" the Tardis had been nudging him while he was talking; now she barked and wagged her tail.
"So you got it right, hurray. But what we going to do?" Jack growled
"Well if someone shut up and let me think, then I might know" the Doctor Shout/growled back
"Sorry, oh great leader, I'll be quiet shall I?"
"Well shut up then pretty boy" they were looking at each other, hackles raised.
"Ok you two that's enough, it's not helping" Rose interjected. She was sat beside the Tardis watching the whole exchange. The Doctor turned and stopped off, well stomped as much as you could when you were a dog, to the edge of the clearing. He then sat on his haunches. You could almost feel the waves of anger radiating off him
"Good one Jack" Rose sighed
"Sorry Rose, guess I'm a little tetchy. I'm going to check near the road. Tell him I'm sorry"
"You tell him," she shot back
" I'm not quite sure how to act with him yet not when I piss him off anyway"
"Ok, this once, but he really is a teddy bear" Rose giggled as she turned to walk to the Doctor "now more than ever." Jack growl/laughed and walked to the road, the Tardis deciding to follow
Rose padded over to the Doctor. He didn't even look to her. Yep major bad mood.
"Doctor?"
"Go Play with your new Pretty boy Rose"
"Oi, don't bite my head off…literally." She nudged him in the neck. And he took a deep calming breath; she always managed to calm him with her touch.
"Sorry" he turned, placing his head and neck over hers in a dog hug, rubbing against each other.
"It's alright. I know your just peeved cause you're a cute little Doggy. And that's domestic" she wheedled, making him laugh.
"This reminds me of the scene out of "The Lion King" very domestic. And cute" she scoffed at him and pushed him over "Oi, alien Dog abuse"
"Doctor! Rose!" they turned, the Doctor looking up from the floor as Jack and the Tardis ran over "sorry, was I interrupting something," he gave a sly smile, tongue hanging out. It reminded Rose of the Wolf out of the old Loony Tunes cartoons.
"Jack…" Rose warned
"Oh right,"
"We haven't got time for this. The meat collectors are coming" they all turned to the black Labrador.
"Who are you?"
"Steven, but we have to run" Steven took off at full speed, just as a large vehicle broke through the woods. It was quiet, hovering above the ground. Nothing could disguise their hostile intent. The guns shining in the sun as the nets swayed in the breeze and the crafts movement. All three set off at a run, following Steve as the craft began pursuit. The shots impacted the ground, sending up a spray of pink earth. The Birds gave startled cries. Sheets of silver as they took wing.
They burst out of the woods into the blazing purple and blue sunset. And stopped dead at the cliff before them. Steven was muttering, near hysterical as their escape was cut of, the nets stretching out.
"No, no, no, no"
"Here meat, meat, meat" the man on the vehicle taunted as his fellows brought out guns like his own. Five men in total. The all shot at the same time. Rope shooting out to wrap round their four paws. Hog-tying them. Steve was begging, pleading.
"Let mo go, please. I don't want to die"
"Tough mutt"
"Die?" Rose asked making the men turn to her
"Well. We all need meat. But you're a pretty one. Think Lord Dormas will want you" the Largest walked up and picked her up by the ropes with no effort. She dangled there, blonde tail pointing to the floor. He grabbed her face, tuning her to look at him. She heard both the Doctor and Jack growl. "Yes, he'll like you"
"Get off creep" she snapped biting; now with sharp teeth easily parting flesh. The man swore and on reflex threw her…. Right over the cliff. As she fell she heard both Jack and the Doctor call her name.
In the town, the
people looked to the east, hearing two howls.
"Hum, dogs again.
Hope they catch them soon. More meat. What you think Molly?"
"Yeah, but they seem
sad, in pain. Shame. But yeah more meat"
KITG: whoo. Here you go. What you think? Now writing chapter two. Why is it my fics seem to take a life of their own. This was supposed to be a one shot, no plot, stupid fic. But my damn muse put a plot in my brain! (Goes off to play with her Doctor Nintendog.) "Aww he's so cute!"
Doctor: Shut it!
