The doctor's moon

Chapter 5

The Doctor showed Luna plenty of new planets making her curious mind buzz with excitement and information. He was trying to make her confidence grow some more before going ahead with the mystery which was still in his head. How had she communicated with him using the physic paper? Maybe someone in her family tree was or related to a time lord. He had used his mind reading technique with a couple of people they had met along the way so that Luna wouldn't be shocked when he used it on her. She found it an amazing but disturbing skill that she hoped he'd never even think about using on her. But she knew what to do if he did have a go on her.

A couple of weeks after the incident with Ouzo, Luna was eating breakfast on board the TARDIS and was reading her diary reminding herself of her adventures so far. She had called her mother a few times to keep up to date with the news on Earth. Everything seemed safe, much to the Doctor's relief. As she ate her cereal, he came in to the room and smiled at her. She smiled sweetly back and then continued to eat her breakfast.

"You ok Doctor?" She asked sweetly.

"Fine thank you," He replied, "You?"

"Good."

Luna ate another spoonful of cereal and watched as the Doctor started setting course for a new planet.

"Where are we going today?" She asked after swallowing.

"You should know this planet," He replied, "Let's see, it's the sixth planet in your galaxy and…"

"Saturn? How are we going to land on that? I thought it was just gas?"

"Ha, only the northern and southern poles of the planet are inhabitable so we can land on them."

Luna was amazed to here it so she quickly finished her breakfast then went to wash up her dishes and get ready for the next adventure.

When they stepped out of the TARDIS, the beautiful scenery before them melted Luna's heart. She had never seen anything so beautiful. The rocks of the mountains were different shades of purple and yellow merging together. And the ground under their feet was a dull but gentle yellow. It reminded her of Scotland, a place she had visited a few times. The Doctor led her through the 20 acres of land letting her take spectacular photos of everything she saw. Soon they found a valley like area with a small river flowing passed. It would get to the end and start turning in to the gas that the planet was famous for. They sat at the edge of the river and watched. Luna was soon relaxed enough for the Doctor to start working on her.

"Luna," he started talking seriously," I need you to let me do something. It won't hurt but I need you to relax."

Luna turned to him and recognised the tone of voice he was using. She knew straight away what he was doing when he raised his hands ready to clasp her face.

"Doctor, please don't." She asked.

"Luna, this is serious. I need to find out how you were able to call me on the physic paper. If there is anything you don't want me to see just imagine a closed door."

Reluctantly, she let him position his fingers on the side of her head.

Problems started straight away. The Doctor was faced with a corridor of closed, and not to mention locked, doors. Luna had made sure that the Doctor couldn't look in to any of her thoughts. She had memories that she didn't want reliving again. She knew that that was the side effect of having the Doctor reading your thoughts. However this was stopped the Doctor getting information he wanted. He shook his head frustrated.

"Luna, you're going to have open a few doors," He stressed, "I need to find something."

To his surprise, she pulled her head out of his gasp and back away slightly. He went to try again but this time she kicked him in his crotch. As he folded up in pain, she ran off. She really didn't want the Doctor looking in her head, no matter how good he looked.

After running for half an hour, she stopped at another small river and caught her breath. She looked around and realised that she was no where near the TARDIS. But hadn't she gone the way they went before? Obviously she hadn't otherwise she would've found the blue police box by now.

"Well good," she pouted, "The further away I stay from that invasive bugger, the better."

However that wasn't a good thing. She heard a strange noise, like something moving across rocks. She spun around but saw nothing. She felt uncomfortable. She shrugged it off and took a sip from the river, the water was safe enough. Suddenly she heard the noise again but this it was louder.

"Maybe I should find the Doctor."

'No, he'll just try to look in my thoughts again.'

"But I'm safer with him."

'I'll buy that.'

Luna followed her footprints back towards where she left the Doctor. However after running a few metres, she started coughing. It was like a there was a desert in her throat. Soon everything went blank and she collapsed on to the yellowy ground.

Meanwhile, the Doctor had returned to the TARDIS after finding a fine, almost invisible. He was analysing it and was amazed at what it was. It was used by small life forms to protect itself. The dust affected any individual in different ways. Some species would just end up with a dry cough, others would be worse off. Suddenly red letter told a grave story.

"The dust can very fatal to humans!" He shouted, "Luna!"

The Doctor grabbed a handkerchief, held itself over his mouth and nose then set off in search of his assistant.

Despite the dust only being light, making it hard to see, it didn't take the Doctor long to find Luna. The brunette was unconscious but was breathing. Carefully, he lifted Luna over his shoulder and carried her back to the TARDIS. Along the way, he spotted the culprit. A small rat like creature that looked like a good burrower called Saturn rat. It wasn't evil; it just wanted to protect its territory. It gave the Doctor a beady look then hopped away. Once at the TARDIS, he gently lay Luna on her bed and went to the main controls of his ship to locate a hospital with the right treatment for Luna. He had to be quick though. He wasn't sure how badly affected she was.

Luckily the Doctor found a hospital in the galaxy 225 in the 35th century which was helpful enough to let him take some medicine to the TARDIS for Luna. He gave it to her then set the TARDIS for Earth and her home. Maybe Mrs Edwards could help solve the mystery of Luna's telepathy.

Will Luna get better? Well review and I'll tell you. Thanks for reading.
