Quick Author's Note: I update more in the summer rather than the school year since I am a full-time college junior who has a major in History and a minor Anthropology… both require tons of writing and reading.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Part 2- The Time of the Doctor
The Doctor V
"Once, there was a planet, much like any other, and unimportant. This planet sent the universe a message. A bell tolling among the stars, ringing out to all the dark corners of creation. And everybody came to see." A female voice echoes across the universe.
A huge space fleet of Judoon, Terileptils, Silurians et al, is orbiting an icy ringed planet. Three tones are being repeated over and over again.
"Although no one understood the message, everyone who heard it found themselves afraid. Except one man and woman. The couple who stayed for Christmas."
The Doctor beams into a large dark space, carrying a Dalek eyestalk, "I bring proof of courage and comradeship. What is this ship and why are you here? Identify yourselves by species and planet of origin."
"EXTERMINATE!"
"Vivian?" The Doctor asks.
"EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!" The Daleks start moving toward him and start firing, but completely miss him.
"Vivian? This isn't funny! VIVIAN!" The Doctor yelled and suddenly he felt his molecules tense as the familiar sense of teleportation made him black out for a millisecond then his eyesight returned and he was in his TARDIS. Vivian was snickering by the controls to the Transporter.
The Doctor huffed and practically stormed up to Vivian, "Every ship I go on, they just shoot at me. Vivian, I said put me on a ship. I didn't say put me on a Dalek ship! Don't put me on a Dalek ship when I'm holding a broken bit of a Dalek!" He ranted. The Doctor tried to whack Vivian's arm with the Dalek stick and she jumped out of the way.
Vivian smiled devilishly, "You did not indicate a preference."
He rolled his eyes, "It's not like you've got a lot of alternatives. They're all here. Daleks, Sontarans, Terileptils, Slitheen. And they're not even fighting, they're just parked. Why?" The Doctor banged his hands down onto his TARDIS counsel. It didn't make sense. Why weren't they fighting with each other?
"There was a message, remember? Perhaps it has something to do with that." Vivian gave a suggestion, watching him intently.
The Doctor sighed, "Yes, yes, the message, the message. Even I can't translate it. I mean, why is everyone here if they don't understand it?" He ran his hand through his messy brown hair.
Vivian shrugged and crossed her arms, "I know as much as you do. You showed up even though you don't understand it. Dragged me along as well. We ARE supposed to be looking for home."
"Well, you know, I'm OCD. What's their excuse?" He glared at the screen the message was displayed on, "What does this message mean?" The Doctor opened his mouth to continue when he heard the emergency phone began to ring… to the phone that was outside the TARDIS. "Oh, no. Remind me I've got to patch the telephone back through the console unit. This is getting ridiculous."
The Time Lady lifted herself onto one of the bars on the console platform, "I'm not your notebook." The Doctor stared at her and she nodded her head to the phone that was still ringing, "You going to answer that?"
"Why don't you answer it? Make yourself useful around here." The Doctor shot back.
Vivian narrowed her eyes, not moving an inch from her perch "It's YOUR phone."
He huffed and walked fast over to the door, opened it, picked up the phone and answered with, "Hello, The TARDIS."
The Doctor heard his companion, Clara answer in a hurry, "Emergency. You're my boyfriend."
He leaned against the door, "Ding dong. Okay, brilliant. I may be a bit rusty in some areas, but I will glance at a manual." Though he wondered why Clara would ask him such a thing over the phone. Perhaps it was a Earth trend.
Clara backtracked, "No, no, you're not actually my boyfriend."
The Doctor stared at the phone in puzzlement, " Oh, that was quick. It's a roller coaster this phone call."
Clara went on at rapid speed, "But I need a boyfriend really quickly."
"Well, I hope you're nicer to the next one." The Doctor huffed.
"No, shut up. Christmas dinner. Me cooking." Clara got out.
The Doctor's eyebrows were crossed at this point, trying to see where his companion was going with this, "So?"
"So, I may have accidentally invented a boyfriend."
The Doctor smiled slightly, "Yeah, I did that once and there's no easy way to get rid of an android." He said in remembrance. Those were the days….
"No, not an android." Clara sighed, "A pretend one, an imaginary one. And I said he'd be coming to Christmas dinner."
"Yeah." The Doctor said haphazardly as he stared at a new ship that was pulling into the waiting zone around the planet. He dropped the telephone receiver in shock. "Vivian," He called, "That's a new ship. Okay, we'll take the TARDIS this time."
He picked back up the telephone receiver and heard clara finnish with, "I just need you to come for Christmas dinner. Just do that for me. Come to Christmas dinner and be my Christmas date." As soon as he heard her ask him to come over for Christmas, warning bells shot off in The Doctor's head. He hated Christmas, especially with companions because he knew that he would outlive every single one of them.
"Sorry, missed that last bit. Gotta dash." The Doctor spoke out in a rush and hurriedly slammed the phone back in it's place, closed the phone door and dashed back into the TARDIS. He piloted the TARDIS and materialized it on the new ship.
He walked out of the TARDIS carrying a dead cyberman head with strings hanging loosely from the head. "Okay, don't be alarmed, I come in-" The Doctor almost groaned as he saw a Cyberman coming down the corridor.
"Alert! Alert!" The Cyberman chanted.
The Doctor held up his hands, still holding the detached Cyberman head, "Peace." He finished, exasperated, "No."
"Intruder detected. The intruder will be upgraded." The Cyberman chanted. Saying this apparently triggered an alarm system and dozens of Cyberman stepped out of stasis cubicles and started to fire at him, but missing him every time. The only thing he could count on every time was that they were bad shots.
"Argh! Sorry!" The Doctor shouted as he ran back into the TARDIS and slammed the door closed to see Vivian laughing at his misfortune. He breathed heavily until he heard another phone call. He groaned and opened the door, avoided shots and yelled at Vivian, "Get us off this ship!" and picked up the phone.
"It's your ship!" Vivian called back, not even moving an inch to help.
It was Clara again, "I need you. I'm cooking Christmas dinner!"
The Doctor ducked out of the way of another Cyberman shot, "I'm being shot at by Cybermen!" He yelled at her.
"Well, can't we do both?" His desperate companion asked.
That suggestion made The Doctor pause, "Argh! Yeah, why not?" He hung up, slammed the door closed and then his video phone on the counsel rang.
The Doctor sighed in frustration, "Aren't I a popular fellow today." He muttered as he picked accepted the video call. He blinked in surprise and bowed, "Tasha Lem, the Head of the Church of the Papal Mainframe. This is a surprise."
Tasha Lem smiled, "Could you come over? I have important things to discus that should not be said over unsecure airwaves."
The Doctor tilted his head, "Are you saying that the TARDIS isn't secure?" He said, flirtatiously.
Tasha smiled and her eyes sparkled with laughter, "You know what I mean. I will be expecting you." The screen went dark, indicating that the call was disconnected.
"You're on friendly terms with Tasha Lem?" Vivian asked, raising an eyebrow.
"So?" The Doctor asked, "You do know that we'll have to go in naked."
Vivian rolled her eyes, "Yes, Doctor." She jumped down from the onto the console platform, "I am not happy about that bit."
"Don't worry. The TARDIS can alter alter your appearance with this." The Doctor pulled out a small black device from underneath the counsel in a storage bin, "It's a-"
"Hologram projector. I know. I've used one before." Vivian said, taking it and putting it into her ear and made sure it was attached while The Doctor did the same with his. "
To others not wearing this it will seem if we are naked. To us, we both have on our cloths." He explained.
Vivian smiled, "Useful."
"Okay, time to pick up Clara!" The Doctor said excitedly, moving to the controls for flight and moved the TARDIS materialized her outside Clara's flat.
