Chapter 3!

I am really enjoying this book so far, I'm not the best writing but I'm slowly learning to be better and I already have a ton of ideas for this book, and a few things planned out for the future!

Also I apologize if there are any grammatical errors or sentences that sound a bit off, when I write I sort of just get lost in the story and I can sound a bit strange sometimes, even after I proof read a few times, so If you notice anything please do message me about it!

I hope you all enjoy and don't forget to drink water, get some rest and that you are loved!

(Also I just realized how long this chapter is!)

Now lets get started!


"You're a clumsy, ham-fisted idiot!" A tall, curly haired man exclaims angrily.

I smile widely as I slowly sit on the table, my legs dangling down and swinging a little as I watch the man step out of The Tardis holding a torch.

"I said I was sorry" the second man says.

I smile more as I see the first man looking around, not seeming to notice me as he was too angry with Harry.

"What? Come out! And don't touch anything" The Doctor grumbles loud enough for Harry to hear, I cant help but smile more as Harry struggles to step out.

"I'm only trying to open the door" Harry grumbles back before he manages to step out, looking around in shock "oh, I say!"

I cant stop myself as I giggle a little and shake my head at Harrys astonishment, both men stop quickly and look over, I smile sheepishly and wave "hey..." to my surprise The Doctor smiles widely and comes over "Rose! What on earth are you doing here?" He asks quickly, looking me over worriedly but quickly.

I shrug "seems I just arrived a tiny bit early this time" I say and hop off the table only to get really dizzy and nearly stumble back, The Doctor quickly grabs my arm gently to help steady me.

"Steady there my dear, how long have you been here? I noticed the low oxygen" he says worriedly, I shrug again "I dont know, maybe 5, 10 minutes? Not very long" I reply.

He nods and hesitates a moment as he looks me over "how early are you?" He asks, I sigh softly 'I knew this would come up...what do I say...?' I think for a few moments before sighing out loud.

"Very early...Ive only met you twice before now, both in your future..." I say sheepishly, I notice he looks incredibly sad for a split second before hiding it and smiling softly "then this is your first time meeting this me, well how about we make it a good adventure then?" He asks, I can't help but smile more and nod enthusiastically.

"Sounds like a plan to me" I say happily, only to jump when I hear a loud yell of my name then suddenly get tackled in a tight hug, I nearly stumble back in shock before I look up to see none other than Sarah Jane Smith hugging me, I smile more and hug back happily, Sarah Jane Smith had always been my favorite companion of The Doctors "Hey Sarah Jane" I say softly, after a moment she pulls back and looks me up and down happily.

"How did you get here? Are you alright? And what are you wearing?" she asks confused and surprised, I smile and shake my head "I'm alright, and just some clothes from the future...It was cold when I got dressed and I didn't feel like dressing up" I shrug, she smiles and shakes her head.

"Always the strange one" she teases, I smile and giggle a little, nodding "ya pretty much sums me up" I comment.

Harry watches us curiously as we talked, but I look up and smile at him a little and wave before looking back to Sarah Jane and The Doctor.

"ok, so this is your first big adventure after regenerating besides the robot fiasco, what do you thinks happened to this station Doctor?" I ask, crossing my arms over my chest comfortably as I watch him start to look around, Sarah Jane stays standing next to me and smiles softly "have you met me before?" She asks.

I sigh softly and shake my head "no I haven't, I'm sorry, I know my timelines all messed up" I say softly, but she just smiles gently at me.

"It's not your fault, you and The Doctor have told me what happens to you before, I know you can't control it, also, you can just call me Sarah, you always have" she replies, I nod and smile softly to her before relaxing more, trying to ignore the lack of oxygen, I notice both Harry and Sarah are having a bit of trouble with the low oxygen as well.

I look to The Doctor and chuckle a little as he messes around with his Yo-Yo, both Sarah and Harry watch him in confusion and start to talk with him as I move away and over to The Tardis, taking off my backpack and setting it just inside the doors, I smile more seeing the old console room, I glance to the door to make sure they weren't following me before I go up to the console and lean on it a little, smiling happily.

"Hey Sexy...I haven't met you so early on yet" I say softly, smiling wider as the ship hums happily around me, I sigh happily "I...I'm nervous" I tell the ship, knowing I was safe telling her anything "I dont know what I'm supposed to do...I know what's to happen, and...I could save lives with my knowledge, but that could also change time, it could change The Doctor's timeline...what do I do...?" I ask softly, closing my eyes sadly.

The ship softly hums sadly around me, I smile a little and sigh "thanks for listening...I just needed to vent a bit" I say and gently pat the console before heading back toward the door, but to my surprise there's a note on top of my backpack on the ground leaning against the door, I look back at the console before picking up the note and reading it.

'It's alright to try and save some people, but you wont be able to save everyone, some peoples deaths are fixed points, do not try to change things to much' I smile a little and look back to the console again "I won't, thank you" I say and gently fold the note up and stick it into my pocket.

I step out of The Tardis to a bright white room, I smile softly and look to The Doctor and Harry by a bunch of buttons on the wall, The Doctor showing off as he tells Harry about where and when we were, then he starts to look around for Sarah, I frown and my eyes widen as I remember what happened.

I jump away from the ship and grab Harrys arm "Harry what switch did you mess with?" I ask him seriously, pulling him to the wall as The Doctor looks to him quickly "which switch Harry?" He asks seriously.

"It was this one" he says quickly, pointing to a small white one, The Doctor watches him closely "sure?" He asks and Harry nods before saying defensively "but nothing happened"

I roll my eyes and press the button quickly "don't touch buttons Harry, its too dangerous to go around messing with things you dont understand" I scold him seriously as the hidden door opens, The Doctor runs in and to Sarah's unconscious form on the ground, I follow Harry quickly through the door.

"Cricket! She's cyanosed" exclaims Harry before kneeling next to her and The Doctor

"No air in here, help me to get her back" The Doctor says as they gently move her against the wall as the door closes, I sigh shakily and kneel next to Sarah, making Harry let her go as he wasn't exactly gentle with her in the episode.

I sit down and gently keep her sat up, gently holding onto her arm and looking her over worriedly.

The Doctor quickly gets to work on trying to figure out how to open the door again from this side, I roll my eyes and snicker a little as Harry starts talking again.

"I've always hated sliding doors, ever since I caught my nose in one in Pompey Barracks" he says grumpily, I snicker a bit and shake my head, gently making sure Sarah doesn't fall over in her unconscious state.

"How is she?" Asks The Doctor as he works "she'll be ok if we get her out" Harry says.

"Must be a broken circuit" the alien says as he presses a few buttons to try and get the door to move.

"Ive found the oxygen supply" The Doctor says as he goes up to a tube sticking out of the wall above his head, he messes with a few nobs under the tube as Harry says well done.

I nod as The Doctor shakes his head a little "no good, Harry, Rose" he says worriedly, looking back to us then back to the tube.

Harry frowns "no luck, eh?" He asks, I shake my head again and lean back against the wall, letting Sarahs unconscious form lean against my shoulder so she wouldnt fall, I close my eyes to try and focus on something else rather then the lack of oxygen.

"why is nothing functioning" The Doctor asks to no one in particular before Harry looks to the door tiredly "couldn't we smash our way out?" I roll shake my head before The Doctor looks to him a little incredulously.

"With our bare hands?" He asks the man before turning back to the wires in the panel he had opened, Harry starts to rambles a little "its all my fault" he says and sits as well with his back to the wall tiredly.

I gently grip Sarahs hand in mine, needing someone or something to hold onto as I open my eyes and look to The Doctor again as he speaks.

"I got us into this, Harry" Harry sighs and reply's "I've not got enough puff to argue with you..."

"Then, lie down and conserve the oxygen, while I do what I can" he says and looks back to us again, his gaze meeting mine and I smile a little at him, trying to ignore the pain in my chest and the asthma attack hitting, only making it feel like I was getting no oxygen at all, but it seems The Doctor knew something was wrong so he gets to work faster than before.

I watch him closely, trying to think about anything but the lack of oxygen, but as The Doctor tells Harry about the bitten through wires my vision starts to blur a little, I tightly close my eyes and breath in through my nose and out through my mouth, but everything starts to feel like its spinning, I open my eyes to try and ground my mind but it only gets worse as I start to feel very light headed.

I hear The Doctor drop the sonic and know its almost over, and after a few more moments that felt like eternity I gasp in the new oxygen and open my eyes fully, gasping shakily as The Doctor comes over quickly "Harry, Rose" he says breathlessly, himself gasping in the air as he kneels infront of us, I relax and look to Sarah worriedly.

The Doctor grabs my hand worriedly but I nod to Sarah, he takes her hand and gently pats it, trying to get her to wake up as Harry asks.

"Is she...she ok?" He gasps out, Sarah starts gasping more for air and I sigh in relief and relax a little back against the wall.

"Just in time. Are you feeling better?" The Doctor asks us, I simply nod as Harry responds "Convalescent. All I need now is a couple of weeks at the seaside" I roll my eyes but smile a little as The Doctor looks to me "how are you feeling my dear?" He asks worriedly, I smile at his concern "I'm ok" I lie easily, my asthma setting off an anxiety attack, causing my chest to feel tight and my breathing to feel off, but I ignore it, there was more important things to worry about right now, like the Wirrn.

He frowns and shakes his head "I've known you long enough to know your lying, dont lie to me" he scolds softly, I frown a little and shrug softly "I am ok though, nothing I haven't delt with before" I say and he shakes his head, his curls bouncing a little from under his hat.

"Your heart rate is elevated, your having a panic attack" he says seriously, gripping my hand as he feels my pulse, I sigh softly "seriously Doctor, I'm ok, its not bad, I'll live" I say and smile a little to try and reassure him but he eyes me worriedly.

I gently squeeze his hand "I promise, If it really does get bad I'll say something ok?" He sighs before nodding and giving in.

He moves to Sarah again and says to Harry "give me a hand to lay her on that couch, its near the vents" Harry nods "good thinking" he reply's before carefully helping The Doctor pick her up and moves her quickly, gently laying her onto the bed, Harry stays with her as The Doctor goes to the vent and opens it as far as he could to make sure a lot of air was entering the room.

I slowly stand, leaning against the wall as I try to stop the room from spinning, The Doctor coming back over to me and gently gripping my arms to make sure I don't fall, he watches me worriedly but I smile softly "see? I'm ok, just a little dizzy" I say softly and he sighs, shaking his head a little as he takes my hand and leads me over to the wires he had been working on earlier.

"I'd like you to stay close to me while we are here" he says softly and lets go of my hand as he kneels back down to finish repairing the wires, I pause and watch him curiously before nodding "ok..." I murmur, wondering why he was so worried about me.

I watch him quietly as he and Harry talk about how the wires had been bitten through and The Doctor comments that there was a mystery here, I can't help but smile a little as I listen and watch, it felt so different than when you'd just watch the show, it was real, infront of me, and somehow these impossible people knew me, and well it seemed, I start to get lost in thought.

'How am I supposed to do this...? I mean I know a lot about his future and past...do I tell him? Or just try and lead him in the right directions...? Or would that be cheating? Could that mess up the time stream? Should I say anything at all?' I didnt realize I had zoned out until The Doctor stood up infront of me and took my hand looking worried.

I jolt out of my thoughts and look at him curiously "are you alright? Your rather quiet, is it the oxygen?" He asks softly, I frown for a moment before shaking my head "no I'm ok, not so dizzy...and I guess I'm...just still getting used to all of this...its...its all a lot to take in...I feel like none of this is supposed to be real" I say honestly.

He sighs softly, shaking his head and gently squeezing my hand "does this feel real?" He asks, I nod softly, trying to ignore the slight tint of pink on my cheeks "it does...its just...all so strange...I feel like its all just a dream, something that I'll wake up from" I murmur, looking down at our joined hands, only to blush more.

He smiles softly "I can promise you it's no dream, unless we are all sharing some strange dream, though that's highly unlikely" he says, smiling more "now, lets get that door open shall we?" He asks before pulling me along with him as he moves to the control table, all the while keeping my hand firmly in his.

I glance around only to see Harry smiling at us, I smile back before The Doctor gets the door open, smiling proudly before saying "All systems go, you say?" I nod "seems so, nice one" I smile to him only for him to beam back at me.

I try to ignore the warmth in my cheeks as Harry motions us over "she's coming round" he says as Sarah starts to wake up, I relax a little and let go of The Doctor's hand and move to beside her quickly, smirking as Harry speaks "steady on, old girl, steady on" in an encouraging manner, I try to hold back a snicker as she looks up at him still a little out of it.

"Harry?" She asks and he nods "yes, I'm here"

"Call me 'Old Girl' again...and I'll spit in your eye" she state, only making me giggle a little, that line always made me laugh.

"Welcome back Sarah Jane" The Doctor says, I knew what was coming next and I gently lay my hand on her back softly, rubbing soothing circles there as she gasps and chokes out "couldn't breath..."

I lean closer and smile gently at her "it's alright now, don't go thinking I'd let you die, I'd probably have killed The Doctor if he hadn't gotten to you in time" I say softly as Harry backs up a step to give her air, she smiles a little and starts to relax slightly as Harry thinks out loud.

"Drop of brandy would be the thing now" I roll my eyes a little but smile softly as The Doctor nods "there's some in the Tardis" he comments, I continue to softly rub her back, her leaning back into me a little, obviously already exhausted from her near death experience.

I chuckle a bit as Harry keeps on about the brandy only for Sarah to grumble that she hated brandy, I smile softly and shake my head as Harry asks The Doctor "Doctor, do you think you could possibly persuade her..?" As he follows The Doctor back through the door towards The Tardis, my eyes widen as I remember the security system, I move away from Sarah and to the door only to yelp as the bot fires a shot, The Doctor yelling for Harry to get down, the shot nearly missing both men, only managing to hit one of Harry's shoes.

I come to the doorway cautiously, peaking my head through only to nearly get shot at myself, I quickly move back out of the way "Doctor be careful! That thing will fry you if it hits you" I say quickly, my heart racing as I move away from the door to be able to see the men hidden under the table, but to not be seen by the camera, I relax seeing them both out of its range for now, hearing Sarah call to The Doctor worriedly as she sits up more.

I hear the men in the other room talking as they plan how to get around the camera/guard thing, I sigh softly and keep watching them only for my eyes to widen as I remember what was to happen next, I turn around just in time to see Sarah disappear, I curse myself angrily for forgetting 'how did you forget that idiot?!'

I groan and sigh, shaking my head 'this is gonna suck...' I move back a little closer to the door again, keeping out of the camera's sight, frowning as I see The Doctor use his hat as a decoy "you need to get to the control panel across the room" I say loud enough for him to hear, he looks to me and I point to the buttons he needed to get to, he nods and thinks for a moment before getting Harry to move with him under the table, dragging the table atop them.

I can't help but giggle as I watch them "yes this is all well and funny my dear, but we are trying to not get shot" The Doctor grumbles, I smile softly "sorry...you both just look really funny from here" he sighs but says nothing more as they move carefully.

As they get to the other side of the room I move a little closer to the door cautiously, remembering The Doctor was going to try and use his scarf to grab the switch "scarf won't work Doctor" I call quickly "it won't grab and its organic so it will just be shot" I explain, remembering what happened in the show.

"Use Harry's other shoe as a distraction, no Harry, the cricket ball wont work, throw the shoe then as it fires at it get up and turn it off" I explain, The Doctor peaks out a little around the table to look at me and I smile widely at him "it will work" I exclaim, praying it worked as it had in the story, he smiles and nods before Harry pulls off his shoe and nearly throws it too soon.

The Doctor grabs his arm to stop him "not yet, wait until I give the word, understand?" He says seriously, Harry nodding before The Doctor repositions himself to better reach the switch, I hold my breath as I watch nervously, I know it worked in the show but it could have changed with me here, I stuff one hand into my pocket and the other reaches up to gently grip my small metal necklace pendant, an odd looking thing, like the head of a shovel with strange little triangular shapes on the flat metal surface, and on the back what look a to almost be a star constellation with the dots and lines going from dot to dot.

"Now" The Doctor exclaims and Harry tosses his shoe across the room, the guard firing at it as The Doctor stands quickly and turns the guard off, though Harry's shoe didnt seem to survive, I relax and let out the breath I had been holding and step into the room, automatically moving to stand next to the Tardis, the guard/camera disappearing up into the ceiling again.

I can't help but giggle a little as I see The Doctor and Harry peak out from under the table, I smile softly "it's safe, that did it" I say as they stand, The Doctor smiling widely at me as he hops up and comes over happily "splendid! How is Sarah?" He asks, I frown and look away, guilt starting to build as he frowns "Rose? What's happened?" He asks worriedly.

"Sarahs gone...the table took her someplace" I murmur, still angry at myself for forgetting and letting her get taken still, but to my surprise, instead of rushing to the room first he suddenly grabs my chin gently and makes me look up to him, worry in his eyes.

"It's not your fault my dear, you cannot change everything" he says softy, I stare at him with wide eyes "w-what...?" I mumble, a bit dazed in surprise.

"I know you know much of what has happened, and what will happen, and I don't want you to blame yourself" he says seriously, I just stare at him before numbly nodding a little and he smiles softly "now, lets go and find Sarah" he says and grabs my hand before quickly pulling me with him into the other room, I look down at our conjoined hands a bit confused as I felt something hard and metallic, my eyes widening slightly seeing the golden wedding ring on his ring finger, I stay quiet still a bit surprised as he and Harry proceed to tear apart the chair/couch thing.

I stand back a bit and watch as The Doctor figures out what it is, my mind racing as to why he had a wedding ring all of the sudden 'I dont remember him having that in the show...' but my eyes widen as I start to hear that music again, the music meaning I was leaving, I move to The Doctor quickly and grab his arm gently, he pauses looking at the controls and looks to me worriedly, I frown sadly, I loved this episode, I didnt want to leave.

"I...I think I'm leaving already..." I murmur and he frowns more, sadness welling into his eyes "oh dear, I'm so sorry, but you'll be safe where ever you end up my dear, I'll be right there with you" he says and gently grips my arms as I shake my head.

"I dont want to go, I like it here, I just want to stay..." I murmur sadly, he sighs and gently cups my cheek with one hand and smiles sadly "dont you worry, remember, I'll be right there in just a moment" he says and lays a soft kiss to my forehead, I grip onto him tightly as the music gets louder until its almost deafening, I close my eyes tightly, trying to keep the tears at bay before I'm back in the black void, gripping nothing but air.

I sigh sadly, opening my eyes to look down at my arm as a few tears fall, I pull the sleeve up to see the new tiny tattoo as my arm burns as it seemed to do every time the tattoos would change or appear, it seems to be a small bug but its only half filled in, I sigh again and glance to the small clock to see it was changing so the minute hand was on 5, the hour hand staying on 1.

I then look up and around, trying to make anything out in the darkness but nothing shows up so I close my eyes and wait for a few moments before opening them again only to find myself now in a bright forest, my eyes widen nervously as I look around frantically, afraid as I didn't see or hear anyone near me.

My heart was already racing but this was only making it worse, I didnt recognize the forest 'what episode was this? Maybe one of the classics I hadn't been able to see...?'

I cautiously start to wander, nervous and honestly terrified of getting suddenly mauled by some kind of monster, but soon I start to hear water so I head towards it quickly, hoping to find a safe place to stay while I waited for The Doctor to inevitably appear as he always seemed to do.

But I slow down as I start to think 'how was any of this real...? I've just been going along with it all like it was normal, but why...? How was this real? Maybe I was dreaming...? No I already checked that, I must just be in a coma, maybe a car hit me on my way to the cafe...or...wait I thought someone had been following me, could I have been mugged? Attacked and left to die? What if I was just laying in the alleyway, bleeding out and in some coma..?'

My heart rate only increase with that thought and I go to grab my bag off my shoulders only to remember I left it in the Tardis, I frown nervously and look around myself again, the forest was beautiful, I had to admit it, green and lush, with a few autumn-esc leaves and trees here and there, moss everywhere but it felt...odd, something was off but I couldn't place it.

Cautiously I find my way to the river, trying to focus on something other than my possible demise by attack in some alley, I glance around, no signs of people thankfully, I dip my hand gently in the water, relaxing a little at its coolness before I stand and start to follow the small river, keeping my eyes and ears open in case anyone was around, but after a good 20 minutes I still hadn't seen anything and I was starting to get worried.

After some more time of wandering down the river I start to see a hill on the other side of the river as well as more trees along the banks, and I think I could hear talking, I speed up, hoping on the other side of the trees I may find something, but just as I get through them my eyes widen as a bit down the river is a bridge made from a log, with two men standing up on it.

My eyes widen as I remember, I smile widely and look to the right of the river to see Clara in her gorgeous red dress and The Tardis behind her a bit up the bank, I step past the trees as The Doctor pulls out his trusty spoon, I cant help but giggle as I cross the river, The Doctor not noticing me but Clara does, I quickly motion for her to stay quiet as Robin Hood and The Doctor start their fight.

Clara grins widely at me as I quickly come down the river to stand a few feet from her, I lean closer to whisper to her.

"Dont say anything, I want to surprise him" she nods and covers her mouth to suppress her own giggles, I quietly make my way to the edge of the water, watching in delight as The Doctor fights with the man in green, constantly slapping him with the spoon before he baits the poor archer and pushes him into the water, Clara runs up onto the bridge to look for the man in the water, seeming to forget about me at the moment.

"Doctor!" She cry's, but her smile hasn't left her face as the alien smirks, triumphantly cleaning his spoon off.

"Like I said...My Box" he smirks, putting the spoon away into his inner pocket before glancing down into the water as Clara starts to get worried, not seeing Robin in the water.

I can't help but smirk wider and cross my arms as I watch from the waters edge "You know Doctor, your still too cocky for your own good" I tease, his eyes widen and just as he's about to say something and turn he's suddenly pushed forward into the water, Clara yelping in surprise before joining Robin in laughter as he jumps up onto the bridge.

I smile widely and can't help but laugh, seeing the Time Lord spit out a mouthful of water before glaring up at the two on the bridge, I giggle and shake my head, coming over to his side of the bridge before stepping into the water and offering him my hand "need some help all mighty Time Lord?" I tease, he grumbles but takes my hand and stands, only to suddenly pull me into a tight hug.

I yelp in surprise "Doctor! I didnt want to get wet!" I yell only for him to tighten his arms around me, chuckling and smirking "just thought it was fitting to greet my lovely girl with a hug" he chuckles, my eyes widen a little and I blush and pull away, dragging him back to the shore.

"I um...I'll go and change" I say awkwardly, my heart racing but as I move to go towards the Tardis Clara comes running up to hug me, I smile softly and hug her back "sorry about the water" I say as she pulls back, looking me up and down and smiling more, shaking her head.

"I dont mind, where have you last been?" she asks curiously, I can see The Doctor out of the corner of my eye watching me in curiosity, but I try and ignore it, but his comment earlier did confuse me, I'd have to ask him about it later.

"Um...way in the past, with The Doctor's 4th self...I...I haven't actually met you in person yet" I smile sheepishly as her smile falls a little "sorry...I know I'm super early, but its really nice to finally meet you" I say happily and her smile returns as she holds her hand out.

"Then its great to meet you too,I suppose you already know who I am" she says and I nod, The Doctor coming up behind her as he watches me closely "exactly how early are you? How many times have we met?" He asks, I sigh softly and frown a little.

"Only three times, all in your past, first it was with the mind stealing robots with your anti-grav motorcycle, then...then it was World War II, the gas mask child, then it was on the ark in space with the space bugs" I explain, watching as his eyes sadden for a few moments before he nods and smiles a little, though his eyes didnt share the smile "ah...I see, then your very early" he says softly.

I simply nod before noticing Robin Hood was standing mere feet away looking at me strangely, I get a bit uncomfortable at his stare before he moves closer "you dress as a man, yet you have the voice of a woman" he says confused "do you hide yourself for some reason?" He asks, I blush and know I have to come up with some kind of lie.

"o-oh um...ya sorry" I smile sheepishly "I've...um, I've been traveling, and it's safer to travel as a boy than a girl" I say, although it wasn't really a lie, it was safer, especially in his age, to travel as a boy, it wasn't the whole reason.

The Doctor suddenly comes closer to stand between me and Robin as he looks down at me, I raise my eyebrow a little at him but he just nods towards The Tardis "lets go get changed so you dont catch cold" he says seriously, I nod and quickly head into the Tardis nervously, following him quietly in before I start to make my way to my room, my heart racing again as I think back to what The Doctor said in the river.

' "Just thought it was fitting to greet my lovely girl with a hug"...what the hell did that mean? "His girl?" What was going on...? Didnt he slightly like Clara at this point? And he's still married to River' I shake my head as I slip into my room, not seeing my backpack sitting on the end of y bed, I wander to the closet numbly as I think.

'It must have just been a friendly greeting, that's it, I guess he has known me for well over 2000 years now...I think..? I dont even know how far back he's really known me, didnt he says we met right after he stole The Tardis with Susan...? We must just be close friends in the future...' I shake myself from my thoughts and look around the closet, smiling a little at all of the clothes, wishing I didnt have to wear a dress but I knew it would just draw too much attention.

I look up to the ceiling "hey Sexy, do you have any Robin Hood era dresses that I could run in?" I ask, smiling softly feeling the ship hum happily under me, I turn to see a gorgeous dark Tardis blue dress, much in the same style as Claras, only it didnt have as long of sleeves that hung down, nor did it reach the ground all the way, I grab it gently and a pair of black boots, glad to have something good to wear for this adventure.

I step into the bathroom on the other side of my room and quickly change out of my wet futuristic clothes, folding them and setting them in a dirty clothes hamper before I pull on the dress, sighing softly as I did so, thankfully it fit me perfectly, much to my surprise, I wasnt the slimmest in the hip region, but the dress was comfortable and didnt feel very restrictive.

I pull on the boots and lace them up before looking myself in the mirror, smile softly as I pull my hair out of its ponytail, the dyed silver hair flashing in the light, I pause as I think about what I wanted to do with it before I decide to put it up into a Mohawk braid, much like a Viking style, I even find a small bead in the drawer under the sink, I carefully put the metal bead around one of the smaller braids before I secure them better before leaving the bathroom.

I finally notice my bag on my bed and sigh in relief, I look through it, finding everything as it had been when I set it down an few hours ago, I check my phone, not surprised to see no messages or notifications as I didnt have any bars or WiFi to connect to, I make sure again everything's in there before I take off my watch, leaving it in my bag, I go to take off my necklace but pause, looking down at it and smiling softly at the small Tardis key pendent I had gotten as a gift before moving to England.

I decide to keep it on and I close my bag and leave it on the bed before I make sure I look presentable, then I head out of my room and into the console room, no one was there though that didnt surprise me, I smile up at the ceiling again and pat the console gently as I pass, getting a happy hum before I step outside, seeing The Doctor watching as Clara spoke with Robin Hood happily.

I smile sadly, remembering how much he cared for Clara, and how angry seeing another man making her happy made him, I quietly step up beside him as I keep my eyes on them "its alright Doctor, he isn't a threat to you" I say softly, he frowns and looks down to me "what do you mean?" I smile gently and look up to the tall man next to me "just what I said" before I walk over to the other two, unbeknownst to me The Doctor's eyes had widened as he watched me, staring for a few moments, surprised to see me so dressed up.

"I apologize for my attire earlier, I find it safer to dress like a boy when traveling, brings less attention and gives me a bit of comfort" I say softly "that coat was my brothers, and I...I'll probably never see him again, so having something of his close is calming" I explain and Robin Hood smiles and takes my hand, gently kissing it as I blush deeply, still trying to get used to others touching me so much now.

"No need to apologize, I understand, it is a smart ruse" he chuckles, Clara standing next to him still beaming, I smile softly as he invites us to his camp, Clara instantly agrees and The Doctor try's to go and say something but I point to him from behind Robin and mouth 'shh'

He rolls his eyes but follows as Robin leads us away from the river and towards his camp, I smile softly as I walk along side Clara, our arms entwined as she giddily follows the man in green infront of us, I gently nudge her teasingly and she bats my arm softly but I just smirk and whisper to her "I think someone has a cruuush" I drag out the last word quietly and she slaps my shoulder again, trying to give me a glare but I can tell she's blushing and trying to hold back giggles.

I smile softly and glance behind us to see The Doctor sulking a little as he follows, I smile gently at him and I notice his back straightens a little and he returns my smile a little before I look back ahead.

After not too long we arrive, carefully making our way down into the small hollow, a small camp set up at the entrance to what seems to be a cave, with men all around it, but as we descend they all stand and come closer quickly to see what was going on.

I smile softly and move a little aside and back away from Clara as Robin moves to stand up right beside her, I quietly gravitate toward The Doctor a little, he notices and moves a step closer to me, the large group of men making me a little nervous, I knew they wouldnt do anything, at least nothing had happened in the episode, but I knew things could change with me being here now.

Robin starts to introduce his men to Clara and I happily stay out of the way, smiling at how excited Clara is, that is until The Doctor moves over toward the men, plucking a hair from one of their heads, I groan softly and move toward him quickly, smiling apologetically at the man he took the hair from "sorry about him...he um...he's a...a bit odd" I say lamely, groaning internally at the stupid excuse.

I gently smack The Doctors arm when the men's attention returns to their leader and Clara, I glare up at him softly "Doctor stop, they are real" I say softly but he only scoffs "they can't be" he moves past me and leans down, stealing one of the men's sandals, the man yells in surprise and the doctor proclaims "This isn't a real sandal!"

I come over and take the sandal quickly, I didnt want this to continue so I return the sandal to the man, apologizing again before I grab The Doctors hand and pull him away from the group quickly, stopping some ways away and turning to him, glaring up at him, which seems to take him aback for a moment.

"We are not going to do this, Doctor I can promise you those men are real, please stop this foolishness, I know why your doing this, I know you like to prove your better than other men around Clara, but I dont want to have to keep apologizing for you, or let those poor men have to put up with you being strange" I say seriously, he stiffens and just stares at me for a moment before he suddenly looks angry.

"I am not trying to prove myself to Clara if that is what you think" he says a bit angrily, I frown softly 'wasn't that what he was doing in the show...?'

"Doctor, what ever it is your doing, it needs to stop, your making us all look foolish, and probably embarrassing Clara infront of her childhood hero, please, just stop trying to show off and relax a little, or at least leave those poor men alone" I say seriously, he glares down at me and stuffs his hands into his pockets and wanders away to sulk, I sigh and shake my head, moving back towards the group quietly.

Clara was happily talking with a few of the men and to my surprise Robin comes up to stand next to me, watching The Doctor as he rummaged around their camp "your friend seems not quite of the real world" I look up at him surprise, he was supposed to say that to Clara, I quickly shake it off and smile sadly and nod.

"No hes not, not most of the time anyways...though...I have only known him for a very short while..." I say softly, Robin looks at me surprised.

"Is that so? Yet you trust him so implicitly" he murmurs, I look away and glance around us, I can only nod at his words, before speaking to try and get the attention off me.

"I have heard of what the prince is doing here...and his Sheriff, have you had much trouble with them?" I ask.

One of Robins friends nods as he passes "Aye. It is indeed this jackal of the prince's who seeks to oppress us forevermore" he says and I see The Doctor go to say something but I give him a warning look.

Beside me Robin looks away, seemingly lost in thought for a moment before saying "it is a shame to dwell on murky thoughts" before he looks back up to me, I look up to meet his gaze before he speaks again.

"When there is such beauty here" my eyes widen a little and I look away quickly for a moment, my cheeks burning with a blush I knew I couldn't hide, after taking a moment to compose myself I look back up to meet his eyes and smile sadly.

"Your eyes...there's such a deep sadness there...one I have not seen in many" I say softly and he frowns.

"Why do you think me sad?"

I smile gently "because Ive seen eyes like yours before, only sadder..." I say softly, sparing a glance toward The Doctor before meeting Robins eyes again.

"You will find her again" I say softly, gently laying my hand on his arm comfortingly, he looks more surprised "your so very quick...but I must admit, I can see the same sadness in your eyes...yet you try to hide it, but its still there" he says, I look away nervously, heart sinking.

"I have simply seen too much in my life...far more than I wished to, but I cannot change that now, all I can do is move on" I say softly.

He notices I didnt want to speak of it anymore so he takes my hand and lays a soft kiss to it before returning to speak with Clara, I smile sadly as I watch them quietly, staying near the edge of the camp, smiling a little and I watch The Doctor ask about the time of year and then Robin tells everyone of the contest tomorrow.

I shake my head a little as The Doctor starts to yell at the men again in anger at their laughter, I quietly escape up the hill and into the forest quietly, knowing I'd probably just anger The Doctor more if I bugged him more about everything so I quietly take a walk, enjoying the weather, listening as the soft wind whistled through the leaves of the trees above me, as the animals snuck through the undergrowth.

I find a small log that had been felled years ago and I gently sit down against it, on the ground happily, not at all minding the grass and moss touching my dress, I close my eyes quietly and lean back against the log , trying to relax and clear my mind, too tired to try and think of everything that had been happening since that fateful day in the cafe, I needed sleep...it must have been over 24 hours that I'd been awake at this point.

Last I'd slept was before becoming a gas mask zombie, and it hadn't been a good rest, constantly waking up to coughing and chest pains.

I shake my head and open my eyes to try and keep awake, knowing I couldn't sleep out here alone, it would be far too dangerous, so I just watch nature go by for a while, losing track of time as I started to sing softly, singing to calm my mind and help me relax, I loved singing so much, it was a stress reliever for me even though I sounded like a frog with another frog stuck in its throat.

I close my eyes again as I quietly sing "And I'll be singing you songs of tomorrow...and then dawn will follow...and our sorrows all undone...Yeah I'll be singing you songs of tomorrow...and then dawn will follow...We are children of the sun..." (song is Children of the sun by Poets of the Fall)

Only a moment later someone clears their throat and I yelp, eyes flying open as I jump to my feet, gripping the skirt of my dress incase I needed to run as I look towards the person only to sigh and relax, Friar Tuck was standing there smiling softly "I apologize, I didnt wish to interrupt but your friends are worried for you" he says, I smile softly and blush a little at being caught singing so loudly.

"No need to apologize, I should be the one apologizing, you had to listen to my singing" I half joke as I walk along side him back towards camp, he smiles and chuckles a bit "it is rare we hear a woman singing now, even if you are not trained it was a delight to hear" I blush more but try to hide it by keeping my eyes forward "thank you...though I'm sure you have heard far better than I, and perhaps someday I will be able to stop my travels and hear others who are trained to sing" I say softly as we walk.

He looks to me curiously "you travel often?" I nod softly "very often now...nearly every day...though I do not have the control of where I go, but it seems where ever I go someone is in need of help, so I suppose that isn't all bad" I babble.

He chuckles softly "it seems you have traveled to us in our time of need as well then, for we will need your help to defeat the Sheriff"

I smile softly, remembering how tomorrow was going to go "I have a feeling I will be able to help with that, though The Doctor will be of way more help than I can ever be" I say and he smiles more "this Doctor of yours certainly seems odd, how did you meet him? Do you travel with him?" I nod a little "yes sometimes...and I just sort of bumped into him...though he knew of me before I met him" I explain a bit, glad to not have to lie fully.

It doesn't take us long to arrive back at the camp and it was just starting to get dark, Clara was sitting with Robin near a fire and I smile and wave at her as I get down the hill, she returns the smile before she nods toward one of the tent like structures and I return the nod.

I thank Friar Tcuk before quietly going to the small tent, finding The Doctor inside looking over a map quickly, I sigh softly "planning your attack on the Sheriffs castle?" I ask softly, smiling a little as he jumped.

He looks up with wide eyes before suddenly rushing me and pulling me into a tight hug, I yelp softly in surprise before slowly returning the hug in confusion, he hated hugs in this regeneration...didnt he...?

"Doctor...what ever is wrong...?" I ask a bit confused as he pulls away, looking me up and down before pulling out his sonic and starting to scan me, I frown and gently push it away "Doctor seriously, what's happened? What's wrong?"

He frowns "you just disappeared, I suspected you'd been taken by someone, I thought you'd return but it was starting to get dark so I was looking over the map to find where you'd most likely be if you had just wandered off" he says quickly.

I sigh soflty and shake my head "there was no need to worry, I just went for a walk and enjoyed nature for a while" I say softly

"And I know rule one is dont wander off, but I knew there wouldnt be any danger" I explain but he just shakes his head and turns back to the map, not looking at me now, I frown a little as he speaks angrily "you cannot know there wouldnt be danger, your not all knowing" he snaps, I frown more, my heart sinking " no, I know I'm not, but I do know things" I say softly before shaking my head and leaving him be.

I quietly take one of the blankets Robin gave each of us to use and move to the edge of the camp, laying down next to an empty tent and looking up at the stars quietly, needing to be away from the others so I could think, as they were all sitting around the large fire and telling stories and eating.

Food didnt sound good right now so I just try to get to sleep, not noticing that as I drifted off The Doctor watched me sadly from the other side of the camp, he stayed up the whole night just thinking and watching over me as I slept noticing how young I looked, how relaxed and calm I was as I slept, no nightmares or fear like he had seen so many times before.

The next day we get up and have a small breakfast before heading for the tournament, I keep quiet, staying near Clara and Robin, not wanting to see The Doctor angry at me again as we traveled, I didnt want to try and deal with that right now, so I just keep my distance, not knowing that was only making him angrier and sadder at the same time.

Once the tournament had started The Doctor had disappeared and we were standing with Robin as he started shooting, and as the rounds went on and on Robin continued to win until he was finally up against the Sheriff himself, I shiver a little as I look to said man.

He reminded me too much of some of The Masters earlier regenerations from the Classic Who episodes, I knew he wasnt the same man, but the slight resemblance just made me more uncomfortable, Clara noticed and gently touched my arm to make sure I'm ok, I smile gently at her and nod before returning my attention to the match.

The men had agreed to move the target back now and we watch as the Sheriff looses his first arrow, only for Robin looses his own arrow, shooting directly down the middle of the Sheriffs arrow, the crowds and Clara start to cheer excitedly but I just smile a little, waiting for The Doctor to appear and again show off infront of Clara.

Robin, or sorry, Tom the Tinker steps forward to claim the prize of the golden arrow only for another arrow to be shot into the other arrows on the target, splitting the other two, I smile softly and shake my head as everyone gasps and watches in confusion and awe.

I cant help but giggle a little as The Doctor introduces himself to the Sheriff and demand answers, before Robin again looses an arrow, yet again splitting the arrows on the target, The Doctor of course wouldnt be out done by who he thought was fake, so he grabs another arrow and this time angles it, bouncing it off the chest plate of a guard and into the other arrows on the target.

I roll my eyes a little at both men showing off now, ignoring the loud cheering of the crowds, Robin shoots again, only this time he doesn't look, hitting the target.

I cant help the smirk as The Doctor says "this is getting silly" before pulling out his sonic and pointing it at the target, only for the cloth covered hay to explode into a fireball, the crowd screaming in shock as I groan, knowing now we had to get manhandled by robots.

I look to the Sheriff nervously as he yells to seize The Doctor, I run to his side and look around at the robot guards as Robin starts to fight them, Clara tries to grab a weapon and nearly hits me and The Doctor with it, I smile a little and shake my head.

Robin continues to fight the robot guard, yelling as he reveals his identity and the crowds yet again cheer before he manages to cut off the things arm, only making everyone around us confused and scared, the shoulder now missing the arm sparks a bit before The Doctors eyes widen and he rushes forward, kneeling and grabbing the things arm with a giddy look on his face "Robot!"

He looks up to it, still holding its arm as the things helmet slides back to show an entirely metal face, The Doctor not being fazed at all says "Now we're getting somewhere!"

The Sheriff yells to grab us and we are quickly surrounded by the robots, I grab Clara's hand to stop her, knowing we couldn't fight our way out, but the robots start to kill the people in the crowds just as the Sheriff ordered.

The Doctor runs back to us as Clara had her back against Robins "he surrenders!" The Doctor yells.

Robin looks shocked and confused "what?" Only for The Doctor to use some sort of martial arts chop to make Robin drop his sword, I roll my eyes but smile a little at that.

"You miserable cur! I had them on the run!" Exclaims Robin angrily before yelling for his friends to run, to flee and fight another day.

I shiver and flinch as I'm grabbed roughly by the arm by one of the robots, I hiss in pain and try to struggle a little to make it loosen its grip but it only tightens, I hold back a whimper of pain as I knew there'd be a good sized bruise there later.

"To the dungeons with all of them!" Yells the Sheriff to his robots, people around us still fleeing the carnage in fear.

I'm forced to follow after the others, not being able to focus on what they were saying as the grip on my arm was really starting to hurt, I try to pry its fingers off to loosen its hold but it only clamps shut tighter, making me yelp loud in pain and whimper a bit, The Doctor looks back and his eyes widen seeing the unshed tears of pain in my eyes as I glare up at the robot.

"Let her go!" he shouts suddenly, I frown and look over confused.

"You wont get anything from me if you hurt my...friend" he says angrily, the Sheriff smirks at that "she's precious to you then?" He asks The Doctor, who only nods as he glares at the man still up next to his chair.

I watch The Doctor still confused as to why he cared so much.

The Sheriff keeps eye contact with The Doctor before he orders the guard to loosen its grip on my arm, I sigh in relief as it does but my heart drops into the pit of my stomach as the Sheriff finishes with

"And put her into her own cell, I'd like to see why she is so precious to an old man" he sneers and my eyes widen, The Doctor looks furious at this point and he tries to go for the Sheriff "Dont you dare touch a hair on her head!" He roars, I flinch and watch him with wide worried eyes as he gets grabbed by two more guard robots.

"Doctor stop! Your only going to get yourself hurt, I'll be fine, watch after Clara" I call as I'm dragged away, The Doctor continues to yell and try to get toward me, I meet his eyes one last time sadly, seeing the fear in his eyes before the door is closed behind me and I'm shoved forward and down the stone stairs into a different part of the dungeons.

The metal men put chains with cuffs on my wrists and chain me inside a small cell, I frown seeing a skeleton in the corner chained to the wall, the image sending a shiver down my spine as the robots leave and close and lock the door, I shakily sit down on the hay covered floor, my hands shaking badly, I hadn't expected to be separated from The Doctor or Clara like this, this was so different from the episode already, and it was really starting to worry me.

I get lost in thought, trying to think of a way I could escape, I knew there wouldnt be a guard outside but I didnt have sonic I could use to escape the chains, and who knew if they'd find me before the castle would start to collapse...

My heart sinks at the thought 'was I really going to die so early on? That would seriously mess up the timeline, especially if The Doctor supposedly knows the future me so well...' I frown softly 'how does he know me so well...do I just travel around his life for the rest of mine? I'd only live for so many years, I guess that was now going to be my goal, to protect The Doctor, to make sure he survives all of his adventures...'

I sigh softly 'so much for having a friend group...or even the idea of a normal-ish life...but I suppose it isn't a bad life...at least not too bad...' I smile sadly and let my head fall tiredly, closing my eyes, still exhausted as I hadn't slept well the night before, and not too long after I slowly start to drift off to sleep, still sitting upright with my shackled hands in my lap.

Only for a loud crash to wake me up, I sit up quickly and look up wide eyed only to see a man smirking in the open doorway, I frown and shrink back nervously as he gets closer, he unlocks the chain from my wrists and yanks me to my feet, I wince as he grabs the bad bruise the robot had given me.

I meekly follow the man nervously as he leads me up into the castle, my heart started to pound nervously the farther from the dungeons we got, knowing my friends were back there and I was just getting farther and farther away from them.

I'm soon shoved into a large dining hall, I nearly trip but manage to stay upright, blushing in embarrassment as I see the Sheriff was smirking a little as he stood by the other end of the table, I lower my gaze quickly, a lump in my throat now as he tells the other man to pull my chair out, I hesitantly sit before the Sheriff sits in his own chair across the table, the other man leaves and I cautiously look up to meet the eyes of the Sheriff.

I gulp nervously "why did you bring me here...? I'm not the leader of the group..." I murmur and he smirks more "no your not, but you seem to be quite clever, and I find you rather interesting" he then takes a sip of wine before gesturing for me to eat, but I make no move to do so.

"Why do you find me so interesting?" I ask softly.

"Because my dear, your hair is such an unnatural shake of grey, yet you are far to young to be getting grey hairs...and that man, that Doctor was so adamant I didnt harm you, why do you suppose that is?" He asks, watching me closely, I frown a little and shake my head softly.

"In all honesty sir, I dont know...I've barely known him two days...but hes known of me for much longer" I admit, knowing it would be easier to stretch the truth than come up with a new lie.

He looks a bit surprised to see the truth in my eyes "two days you say? Yet he looked ready to rip apart my metal men to get to you, I'm curious, how does he know of you for so much longer?" He asks, I gulp and sighs softly "I suppose he must have heard stories from my friends about me" I shrug a little as he takes another sip of his drink.

I watch as he himself starts to eat, telling me again to eat but I shake my head softly "thank you sir but I am not hungry" I say softly, glancing around quietly as he keeps his eyes on me, seeming to think over everything I've told him before he decides what he'd do, I stiffen seeing him pick up a sandwich wrapped in plastic wrap, I frown and try to pretend to be confused.

"Taken from the old mans strange tunic" he says, looking over the wrapped sandwich before setting it back down and picking up The Doctor's spoon "an intriguing gallimaufry"

I gulp quietly again as he sets the spoon back down and grabs the sonic screwdriver "including this wand" he says, looking it over curiously, I watch him nervously, my heart starting to race yet again.

"Evidently a thing of awesome power" he says thoughtfully, holding it up into the candlelight before he looks up to meet my eyes, sending an uncomfortable shiver down my spine.

"Tell me, are you from beyond the stars?" He asks, leaning forward, I frown, trying to seem confused and shocked "beyond the stars..? Is that even possible sir? Surely to be from beyond the stars would be to come from heaven" I say softly, he leans back in his chair as he watches me, nodding a little "I suppose you are correct..."

He suddenly stands and starts towards me, I stiffen and watch him nervously "Now, enough of tawdry matters" he comes closer and pulls a large knife from his belt, I knew he would but I still flinched and looked at it nervously, he stabs it into a bit of food infront of me and picks it up, smirking slightly at my nervousness.

"Lets talk of softer...sweeter things..." he says, eating the bit of food off the end of the knife, I gulp and look away "I'm sorry sir, I dont know what you mean" he chuckles slightly and leans against the table as he wipes his knife clean, I knew I had to say something to get his attention of that thought train.

"I...I am sorry sir, I only came traveling here to search for answers...the lights in the sky...I wished to know if others had seen them" I say and he looks surprised and stands up straighter curiously "you've seen them too?"

I merely nod "yes...and those mechanical men...with their promises...their promises to show me the stars..." I murmur softly, he watches me closely "I too have experienced this...tell me your story" he says and I look up to him nervously "you do not think me mad?" I ask and he shakes his head.

"No, not as of yet...you seem knowledgeable, and not very fanciful" I nod a little at that.

"Would you...tell me your story first? I want to see how closely our stories collide" I say curiously, he eyes me cautiously but I just smile a little and nod "it wouldnt be right for me to speak first, great men should always proceed" I say softly and that seems to stroke his ego enough that he smirks and nods, standing and grabbing another glass of wine as he talks.

"One upon a time, there was a brave and clever...and handsome man" he starts, moving to sit on the arm of my chair, I have to hold myself together to not shrink back from him as he talks "I can almost picture him" I say softly, knowing I needed to keep him talking, and Clara had managed to do it in the show so I had to try and imitate what she did the best I could.

"I dont even have to close my eyes" I murmur as he suddenly stands, slamming his glass on the table as he storms away a bit.

"Unappreciated my his royal master" he snaps angrily now, I slowly stand as he stands infront of the fireplace "prince John?" I ask, he nods "the very same"

I slowly step a bit closer "then came the lights in the sky and everything changed?" I asks softly, moving to stand infront of the fireplace as he speaks again, he steps back a bit from the fire.

"The sky ship came to earth, in a fury of fire!" He exlaims as he starts to circle me, I couldn't help but feel trapped and scared but I try and hide it, moving a little towards the table again, as he stands between me and the fire again "I'd almost call it a crash, I remember it well" I say softly.

"A craft from the heavenly spheres, bedight with twinkling lights, and miracles beyond imagining!" He exclaims

"The most beautiful thing the brave, and handsome man had ever seen" he says, standing behind me a little too close for my comfort so I turn around and step past him a little, keeping my eyes on him, his resemblance to The Master still made me more uncomfortable than it should have.

"And I suppose the mechanical men saw you as their natural leader?" I ask softly, turning to him again as he turns to face me as well, his hand on the hilt of his knife now.

"It was I and I alone, to whom the mechanical men within imparted their secrets" he steps closer again, making me want to back up but I hold my ground.

"Shortly, I shall be the most powerful man in the realm, king in all but name, for Nottingham is not enough" I watch him closely "it isn't?" I ask softly "after this" he starts again "Darby" I nod a little "and then?" He smirks a little "then...Lincoln" I nod again "and after Lincoln..." he pauses and I ask "Worksop?" Only to flinch back as he draws his knife and viciously stabs it into the table as he shouts "the world!"

I watch him nervously, my heart speeding up yet again in fear, I go to speak only for the door to open and Clara to be brought in, my eyes widen as I knew what had happened, I had changed things, even if just slightly, I mentally kick myself as she's brought over, looking at me worriedly as I move away from the Sheriff as he looks up to greet her, smirking.

I quickly move to stand with Clara, locking our arms together and smiling to her softly "its ok, he knows about the lights in the sky and the mechanical men we came to ask him about" I tell her softly, she looks at me confused for a moment before nodding, thankfully playing along, I look back to the Sheriff as he watches us curiously "my sister, my older sister, we traveled here together, searching for answers when we came across The Doctor and Robin Hood, we didnt know Robin was a fugitive until today" I tell him.

He watches us closely before smirking, seeming to finally see my ruse "you think me that much a fool? You look nothing alike, you are not of this world, but she is" he says pointing at Clara, my heart sinks into the pit of my stomach "I...I am...I'm as human as you are, flesh and blood" I say, almost desperate for him to believe me but his eyes darken and motions for us to be grabbed by the robot guards, I try to move Clara behind me to keep her out of their hands but they grab my arms harshly.

Others grab Clara harshly and I look to the Sheriff "let her go, she has nothing to do with any of this" I say seriously but he ignores me, he motions for the guards to follow as he storms from the room "you think your so clever girl" he snaps as he grabs my arm and roughly makes me continue forward, I wince and glare at him but manage a smirk "I did get you talking didnt I? Quite a big ego you have there" I snap back.

He sneers and shoves me hard down a flight of stone stairs before following me down and roughly making me get to my feet, Clara yells in worry for me but I wave her off, not wanting her to get hurt as well, my dress cut and ripped up now, my palms and knees scraped up and bleeding now.

I wince but try to hide the pain as the metal men ahead of us break down a door into their ships interior, I wince as the Sheriff grips my upper arm harshly and shoves me inside the room ahead of him.

"Surrender, outlaw!" He yells, The Doctors eyes widen seeing me bleeding and cut up, I quickly motion for him to stop so he does so, but I can see The Oncoming Storm ragging behind his eyes as he glares at the Sheriff.

"Release her" The Doctor orders, but the Sheriff ignores him and yells to the guards "kill him! Kill Robin Hood!" My eyes widen as I remember The Doctor doesn't believe he's real.

"You can drop all that stuff now, Sheriff" he says, almost smirking now, my heart sinks as I watch the robots proceed towards Robin "Doctor!" I yell at the same time as Clara to try and get him to listen but he doesn't, to angry and slightly smug, thinking he's won.

"He is not what you think he is" The Doctor says "this is all Play-acting" he says smuggly, I glare at him and shove the Sheriffs hold off me and follow Clara quickly as she runs to help Robin "you cant just let them kill him!" She snaps as she passes, The Doctor try's to grab me to stop me but I dodge his hand and follow Clara closely, forgetting what was to happen next.

I quickly move with Clara to stand infront of Robin protectively, praying the robots would stop but they dont, I gasp as Robin wraps his arms around me, holding a blade to my throat now, I gasp and stiffen, my eyes widen as The Doctor turns, his eyes wide in horror as I meet them, my own full of fear.

"R-robin...what are you doing?" I ask shakily, Clara had moved to his side, afraid and worried, Robin glares at the robots before responding "surviving" before he pulls me back and we fall out the window backwards, knocking Clara down with us, I scream as we fall, not hearing The Doctor scream my name as he runs to the window, as we hit the water I gasp, breathing in a mouthful of water painfully, I try to struggle to the surface but Robin keeps us under and swims away from the castle to someplace out of sight of the window.

As I start to black out we reach the surface and Robin pulls me and Clara out of the water, she's unconscious and I manage to cough up the water shakily, Robin picks her up and makes me follow him back to their camp, I pass out from exhaustion the second we return, one of Robins men quickly moves me to lay down near the fire so my clothes would dry while I slept.

I only begin to wake as the sun rises, seeing Robin interrogating Clara, I frown tiredly and slowly sit up, wincing and coughing softly, my throat sore from inhaling all that water.

I quietly listen before coming to join them, Clara had explained that we weren't from this time and that in the future Robins stories would be legends, I slowly sit down next to her quietly before smiling sadly as he asks about The Doctor.

"He's an impossible, amazing, mad man in a box" I say softly, Robin looks to me confused "you said you'd only known him for a few days" he says confused but I smile sadly and nod "Ive only known him in person for two days...but Ive known of him all my life..." I admit, sighing and relaxing a little, noticing Clara watching me curiously.

"Ive known of him since I was born, Ive heard of his stories...his life, he was a legend...stories much like yours, he was a hero, he still is, hes always been my hero" I smile softy at Clara "much like Robin is to you, Ive heard of The Doctor...Ive seen his life...almost every adventure of his...every life, every regeneration..." I tell her softly and she stares in wonder "but you mustn't tell him any of this, any of you, I dont think he knows how I know so much yet..." I say and sigh.

Once they promised to not tell him Clara explains in depth who he was and what he was, his story as much as she knew of it, and I add details she didnt know here and there.

After a few hours of talking we manage to convince Robin to return with us to help The Doctor, I knew he'd be talking with the Sheriff now so we sneak inside and down into the cellar like area where the robots had slaves melting down the metal, we sneak to the upper walkway and listen, frowning softly as I hear The Doctor demanding for me and Clara to be returned to him.

"He's a legend!" Shouts The Doctor in disbelief only for Robin to step out into their sight "Too kind!" He shouts, the people under the balcony looking up as he continues.

"And this legend doesn't come alone" he says and me and Clara step out from behind him, I smile a little and wave nervously, seeing The Doctors eyes light up seeing us, at least I assume it's from seeing both of us.

Robin hops up onto the banister and pulls out his knife, I step back as Clara jumps up with him and climbs onto his back before he stabs his knife into a canvas flag and rides it down the wall with Clara on his back.

I look down after them cautiously, knowing I needed to get down there, I quickly follow the walkway and manage to find a set of stairs, I quickly run down them, thankful for my boots as I hear Robin starting to fight the Sheriff, I smile a little hearting The Doctor ask Clara if she's alright before asking about me worriedly, I frown a little at that and pause, listening to them.

"Where is Rose? She's not up there anymore" he asks quickly "I think she's gone to look for the stairs" she says and he nods and I can hear him coming toward the stairs, I quickly make my way down them the rest of the way and nearly bump into The Doctor, I stumble back a bit in surprise and he instantly grabs my hands, seeing the blood and he looks them over quickly, I could see the worry in his eyes.

I smile gently "I'm alright Doctor, its just a few scrapes" I say softly but he shakes his head and my eyes widen as his hands start to glow, I could see the regeneration energy starting to warm my hands but I quickly pull my hands away from him quickly "dont you dare!" I snap and he looks shocked "dont you dare waste that on me" I say seriously.

"I'll be fine, its just scrapes, you do not waste your regeneration energy one me" I say seriously, trying to hide the shaking of my hands as he frowns more "Rose let me help you, its worth it" he says seriously back, I shake my head and move past him quickly, my heart racing in my ears "no, that's far too precious to waste" I say and move to stand next to Clara as she watches the other men fight.

I keep my eyes on the fight, afraid to face The Doctor right now, he moves to stand slightly behind me and to my right "we need to leave, this whole castles about to blow" he says seriously, Clara glances to him a bit worriedly before nodding and looking back up as Robin tricks the Sheriff with he same trick The Doctor used on him, I cant help but smile with them.

Robin makes his way down, holding his cut arm in slight pain "was that showing off?" He asks as Clara is nearly bouncing in excitement "that was amazing" she praises happily only for the whole castle/ship to start shaking as the engines fire up.

I look up with wide eyes before The Doctor grabs my hand, surprising me as he yells to everyone "run! Come on run!" Before he pulls me along after them all, I try to keep up as best I can, we make it to the edge of the forest with the others, a large crowd of people with us, The Doctor hadn't let go of my hand the entire run before he starts to mumble about the ship not making it into orbit.

He looks to Robin "the golden arrow!" He yells and Robin turns to his friends "tuck!", Friar Tuck comes up holding the golden arrow, I smile and let go of The Doctors hands, knowing what he needed to do but he looks to me confused and worried but I just nod back to the task at hand and he quickly gets to work, offering the bow to Robin who refuses, stating his arm was injured.

So The Doctor tries but can't aim properly, his hands shaking a little, I snicker a little as he confesses that he used a homing arrow, he sends me a small glare before they work together to fire the arrow up to the ship, I move back a ways to watch and not get in the way, I smile and cheer with the others as the arrow hits, sending the ship up into orbit before it explodes.

I sigh in relief and relax, glad my being here didnt change things for the worse '...at least not so far'

The merry men infront of me start to celebrate, teasing and joking happily as I watch, I smile softly and lean against a tree for a bit as I watch, Clara and The Doctor talking quietly to themselves so I head back toward The Tardis, knowing they'd end up there soon, I wander up and onto the log bridges, relaxing as I sit down with my legs hanging down, my boots almost touching the water.

I watch as the water flows past, enjoying the calm after the insanity of this adventure, the exhaustion also finally catching up with me full force, making me yawn tiredly, I rub my eyes only to wince as the scratches on my hands stung from the movement, I sigh softly and move to stand, going towards The Tardis tiredly.

I smile softly and sit down with my back against her doors as I watch nature, waiting for the others to show up soon, I close my eyes comfortable and giggle a little feeling a warm hum against my back, I reach back and gently pat the door "Hi to you too, I'm going to stay out here until they all return, then I'll probably take a nap" I say and have to repress another yawn.

She hums softly and a bit worriedly, sensing the pain in my hands "its alright, just scratches, they will heal in no time" I murmur and start to get lost in my thoughts as I wait, not noticing as Robin gets here first, as he had come ahead to check if I was here, I smile softly as he comes up and offers me his hand, I gently take it and stand "thank you Robin"

He smiles gently "it was my pleasure, thank you for helping me, you told me stories, stories I will never forget, about The Doctor" he says and I smile and shake my head "that was Clara's doing, I only added details here and there" I say and he chuckles a bit.

"You are a strange bunch, I must admit that" he says and I nod "we are, I agree..." I murmur and he watches me "you say you've known of this Doctor your whole life...yet you seem angry with him, why is that?" He asks and I frown and shake my head softly "I'm...I'm not angry with him...not really...I'm just annoyed with his attitude as of late?" I say softly and he smiles a little.

"A man cannot help when he is in love" he says suddenly and I look up to him sharply, frowning more "what do you mean?"

"Just as I say, he seems to care for you very deeply, I believe that was why he was so frustrated with me, you were giving me your attention more than him" he says softly, I shake my head and smile sadly "it isn't like that, he cares far more for Clara, that's why he was so crossed with you earlier, he wanted to show off to her" I explain but he shakes his head "I do not believe that is the case...he did not take his eyes off you as you slept the night before last" he explains.

I frown more "then hes just not used to seeing me...this young...I seem to...well I seem to disappear and reappear with him in different times, but I'm very new right now...he must just find it odd" I shrug it off and he smirks "I do not think so..." he says but stops as we hear the group coming towards us, I smile at him softly "go on and have your fun, I will not keep you any longer"

He smiles softly and takes my hand, kissing it softly as the group comes into view on the other side of the river, I blush a bit and smile softly at him before he happily goes to join the others, I wait quietly as they all talk and celebrate a bit, Robin even teaching Clara how to shoot as The Doctor speaks with the men, glancing at me every now and then, but I try to ignore it.

Finding a small rock to sit on as I wait, relaxing more and closing my eyes, enjoying listening to the birds, the wind blowing through the trees and the happy people around me, but its not long after that I hear Clara saying goodbye to Robin, I quietly get up, moving over to The Tardis and smiling softly as I wave goodbye to Robin "be careful Robin, and don't forget to stay amazing" I call before following Clara inside.

I head to my room quickly, taking a fast shower and changing into a pair of camel colored shorts, a black t-shirt and grey hoodie, the one that used to be my brothers, wanting to be comfortable, I look to my bed longingly but I knew I had to get some food before sleeping so I quietly sneak out to the kitchen and start to make myself a sandwich tiredly.

I had gotten lost in thought as I made my food so I didnt hear when The Doctor came into the kitchen, stopping and watching me for a few moments, I pick up my plate, meaning to move to the table but as I turn I stop and stiffen, blushing a little "sorry, I didnt hear you come in..." I say awkwardly, moving over to the small table nervously, hoping he'd just leave, I didnt want to fight.

But he follows me and sits down across from me, folding his hands on the table infront of him "I think we need to talk Rose" he says seriously, I frown softly "Doctor can this wait? I just want to eat then get some sleep" I say tiredly but he shakes his head "I don't want you to be gone before we can talk" he says seriously, I sigh softly and lean back into my chair "ok fine...what do you want to talk about?" I ask tiredly.

"I want to address why you're being so cold" he says, I frown and look up to meet his eyes "me? I'm not being cold, if anything your the one who keeps glaring at me" I retort, getting a little angry now "I haven't done anything wrong, are you glaring at me for something I haven't done yet? Something in your past?" I ask seriously.

He shakes his head "no, you haven't, but you were getting too close to the archer, you didnt know if he was dangerous or not, he could have hurt you, especially from that fall into the water" he says and I sigh "Doctor, I did know he was safe, and I'm fine, the fall didnt hurt, only a bit of a sore throat from breathing in a bit of water, but I'm ok" I explain but he doesn't seem pleased.

"That does not matter, what matters is you could have been hurt, or used, you were too close to that archer for my liking" he says again, I frown as I watch him, confused and nervous "why does it matter how close I got to Robin?"

He stiffens and leans back into his chair a little, crossing his arms over his chest "because as I said, he could have been dangerous" he snaps

I shake my head as I watch him closely.

"No, your lying, why do you care anyways? Shouldn't you be angry with Clara? She's more important here" I say and he eyes me cautiously "why would Clara be more important?"

I roll my eyes and sigh "spoilers Doctor, but seriously, nothing bad really happened" I say, holding up my hands to show the slight redness from the scrapes.

"See? I'm not bleeding now, I'm fine, no worse for wear" I shrug.

"Your too early to know..." he murmurs as if thinking out loud, I sigh and shake my head "Doctor, it doesn't matter if I'm too early, I already know a lot, nothing will change that much" I say softly.

He groans and stands angrily now, looking down at me seriously, I cross my arms as I watch him nervously "things can always change" he says seriously and I shake my head "not that much, I know a lot of things Doctor, more than you probably think" I snap back, too tired to deal with this properly tonight.

I stand and grab my plate tiredly "I'm going to my room to sleep, please don't do anything too crazy so I dont get thrown out of bed" I say as I leave the kitchen quickly, The Doctor try's to stop me, grabbing my upper arm only for me to yelp in pain and rip my arm from his hold quickly, spinning around in shock, he stares in confusion and worry.

"Your hurt worse than you said" he concludes aloud, I groan and shake my head tiredly "no I'm fine" I say seriously before turning quickly and rushing towards my room, I can hear The Doctor yell for me and try to follow but his voice soon fades away as I run, The Tardis hums, telling me she had something to do with him being farther and farther away, I smile a little and run my hand along the wall "thank you" I say before disappearing into my room.

I eat half of my sandwich before just getting too tired and I crawl into bed, curling up under the covers and falling asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.
