The Doctor's moon

Chapter 2

The next morning, Luna was at her work desk again. She worked at a local solicitors as the secertary. She liked her job but her curious mind and fascination by science was urging her to get away. Meeting the Doctor had really woke her up. So this morning, she was working tirelessly so she could get all her work done and go to meet up with The Doctor again. Her boss was impressed with the speed and determination she displayed before him. Her hands were just a blur over the keyboard and over the paper with her pen. She wasn't even making a mistake. The only time she stopped was to have a cup of tea for her break and at lunchtime. As she ate her chicken mayonnaise sandwiches, she imagined landing on a different planet in the universe and exploring it, meeting the locals and trying the food. Her daydream was disturbed by her boss coming and sitting with her for his lunch.

"Lovely day, isn't it?" He asked.

"Sure is." She replied, smiling and imagining the Doctor lying on the grass now enjoying the sun.

As they ate their food, Luna heard the door open and looked at the door and saw someone dressed in a long overcoat, a hat and a scarf over their face. This was quite strange if not intimidating.

"Excuse me but if you want me to help you," She said in her secretary's voice, "You'll have to take off your hat and scarf."

A big mistake. The person did as she requested to reveal a lizard like face. It pulled out a spacey weapon and pointed it at her. Luna's boss saw what was happening and was about to call the police but the alien shot at it making it disintegrate before their eyes. The alien was determined to hold them hostage.

Luckily not far away, the Doctor was strolling down the street, looking around. He suddenly had a feeling that something wasn't right. His time lord senses pointed him to the right direction. He got to a lawyer's office and peered in through the window. There he saw Luna and an older man crouched against the far wall with a strange half lizard, half human creature standing front of them. He dug through his jacket pocket and found his sonic screwdriver. But before he could burst through the door, Luna spotted him. Her blue eyes widened with surprised but she knew what do without instruction. She hadn't said much to her captor so now was the right moment.

"Hey, what are going to do with us?" She demanded.

"Well, my pretty," it said in a snake like voice, "I am going to absorb both your brains and use your intelligence to take over the world by taking over the minds of the human race."

The Doctor heard every detail and was ready to stop him. Luna, although shaken up at the thought of her potential fate, pressed on to distract the monster more by asking him about his species. The Doctor quietly opened the door with the Sonic Screwdriver, stepped in and locked it again.

By now, Luna's questions had got the monster inpatient.

"Enough talk, time for my feast."

"Now, that's bad manners," the Doctor interrupted, "You haven't even washed your hands."

Luna smiled brightly while the monster turned around and came face to face with the Doctor. Luna's boss didn't know what was going on but Luna was learning a little more about the Doctor.

"So who are you?" the monster demanded.

"I'm the doctor, and your worse nightmare."

The Monster seemed to know what he was dealing with and had a look of terror on his face. He obviously knew who the Doctor was and had heard what he could do. As the monster was distracted, Luna decided that it would be best to get her boss out of the building. She took his arm and led him out of the back door. She told him that he had to keep this to himself and then headed back inside to see if she could help the doctor.

When she returned, she found the monster had turned his disintegrating gun on to the Doctor. Her help was needed now. Luckily, she had done defence classes while in University and knew some effective moves. She positioned herself at the right distance then gave the parts at the back of the monster's knees a sharp kick. This caused him to buckle and drop the gun on the floor. He nearly fell on top of Luna. Luckily, the Doctor grabbed her arm and pulled her to him. The impact with the floor knocked the monster out. Luna was shaking all over. The adrenaline and fear had hit her body at once. Carefully, the Doctor bent down and picked up the weapon.

"Clever little device this is," He commented, "But it's too dangerous to be left."

"What are you going to do with it? And what about the creature?"

"Well, I'll disable the weapon using my sonic screwdriver then I'll find out where this creature's ship is."

Luna watched as The Doctor pulled out the sonic screwdriver and used it on the gun. More space gadgets. Luna was finding the Doctor more fascinating than before.

"Now, is there anywhere secure where we can put this creature?"

"Well, there's the cellar."

Suddenly the monster started to come round. The Doctor shoved the disintegrating gun in to Luna's hand. The monster sat up and saw the two people standing in front of him. The Doctor was aiming with the sonic screwdriver at him and the girl was also aiming at him but with his gun. He knew there was no way out of this situation.

"Look, I'll do anything you want, just spare me."

"Leave this planet, never return and you'll never speak of it to anyone." The Doctor commanded.

"Agreed"

The creature got up and walked to the door. Still shaken up and scared, Luna edged closer to the Doctor for security. Once it was out of the building, they watched and made sure he had gone.

"Well done, Luna," The Doctor smiled, "You were great there."

"Well I would've been absorbed without you saving me. Thank you"

There was a silence as both thought of something to say. The Doctor noticed that Luna was still shaking a lot. She needed a rest. Suddenly, her boss appeared looking anxious. He saw Luna and grabbed her in to a hug.

"Are you ok, Luna?" He asked, "I was worried."

"I'm fine, just in shock."

"Right you can stay off work. You've been traumatised and you need to calm down. I'm sure this brilliant young man can take you home."

"My pleasure, sir"

The Doctor followed Luna back to her home. She opened the door, and allowed the Doctor in. He had told her that he wanted to tell her parents something important.

"Hi, I'm home." Luna called.

"Oh, you're home early," Her mother replied, "I was just…"

Mrs Edwards had spotted the Doctor. Luna wasn't the type to bring in guests without warning. He stood relaxed in his long coat and suit. Victoria could see the attraction but still found it a shock.

"Mum, this man is the Doctor and he can tell you why."

Casually, he placed himself on the couch and started telling Mrs Edwards what happened. Victoria was relieved that her daughter was safe. She couldn't believe it when Luna explained that the Doctor could travel through time and space. But remembering the events with Then the Doctor moved on to the other reason for his drop in.

"Your daughter was great helping me out today and I need a hand on my ship. Luna has a level of intelligence and curiosity that I love to have around so I was wondering if you'd let her come with me for a while."

Luna's blue eyes widened at the thought of living her daydreams. Her mind was racing with ideas of what she could encounter. But her mother was anxious.

"You want my daughter to go to strange planets with you?"

"Mum, please I really need this. You know what I'm like; I need to keep my mind active otherwise I loose interest in everything."

"It's because I know what you're like that I don't want you to go. You'll get yourself in trouble and I'll never see you again."

There was silence as mother and daughter looked at each other's faces, the Doctor feeling out of place. He looked down at his hands and twiddled his thumbs.

Soon a small smile spread across Mrs Edward's face. She turned to the Doctor.

"You'll promise to look after her?" She asked.

"I always make that promise." He replied.

"Does that mean you'll let me go?" Luna asked.

"Well, it's not like I can stop you. Just be sure to come home sometimes"

"I will."

A big hug sealed Luna's promise. A massive adventure was waiting for the young girl.
