The doctor's moon

Chapter 6

Mrs Edwards was enjoying a cup of tea in front of the TV as she watched her favourite show. It had been a cold day so the hot mug of tea was keeping her hands warm. She was also thinking about the safety of Luna. Hopefully that doctor was taking good care of her. Her train of thought was broken by a rapid door knock. She got of the couch and opened the door. As she opened it, the Doctor dashed through with something over his shoulder. She shut the door and turned to see Luna's body.

"What happen to her?!" She asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid she's been poisoned," He replied, "Where's her room?"

"Though there"

Quickly but carefully, the Doctor put Luna on her bed. She was breathing better than before and seemed more comfortable.

Mrs Edwards listened as the Doctor explained what happened to her daughter. She was amazed about how her daughter had survived something that should've killed her. She gripped Luna's hand and ran her fingers through her hair. The Doctor watched sombrely as his new assistant slowly recovered. Then an idea hit him.

"Mrs Edwards," He asked, "Can I use you for something important?"

"Yes."

Thank you, well just stand up and relax."

She did as asked and the doctor standing scanning her brain. Everything seemed normal until he came across Luna's four time's great grandmother. There was a scene of her meeting a man that the Doctor recognised as a time lord. He slowly let go of Mrs Edward's head. She sat down and rubbed her temple, she had got a slight headache.

"I need to ask, your great, great, great grandmother met a man. Do you know who that was?"

"My family never spoke about it. She didn't marry and it was frowned upon back then. My grandmother told me that he was very peculiar, very intelligent, but no one in our family inherited any of his qualities until Luna came along."

There it was the answer to the Doctor's question. Luna had time lord in her blood and it was expressing itself clearly. He started to think that she should learn what it was all about.

After a few hours, Luna's blue eyes opened to see the Doctor grinning beside her bed. She smiled tiredly back and slowly turned on her side so she could see him properly.

"Hello."

"Hello, how are you?" He asked

"Tired, but I'm fine. What happened?"

The Doctor recalled everything that happened and Luna listened carefully. He then told her about how he discovered about her genes. She was amazed by the fact that a not so distant blood relative was a time lord and that she was the first person since to show anything that suggested that she had it in her. After quietly mulling the new information for a few minutes, Luna softly smiled at the Doctor who smiled back. They were happily enjoying each other's company when they heard the front door of the flat open and shut quickly and two new voices were heard.

The door to Luna's bedroom opened suddenly, letting in a boy and a girl the same age as Luna. The boy had short ginger hair and green eyes and the girl had blonde hair with brown eyes. They saw Luna and dived to her for a huge hug. It was only when they let her go that they realised that they weren't alone. They finally spotted the Doctor sitting in the chair.

"Doctor, theses are my best friends, Tom Bradley and Alice Jones," Luna introduced, "Tom, Allie, this is the Doctor, my friend."

"It's a pleasure to meet any friend of Luna's." The Doctor grinned shaking their hands.

Tom and Alice just stood staring; not knowing what was going on. They hadn't been told about Luna's adventures. Mrs Edwards appeared with cups of tea. She saw the looks of Alice and Tom and smiled.

"Luna, you and Doctor had best explain what has been happening." She said to her daughter.

Luna and the Doctor looked at each other then started to tell the story.

Once they finished the story, Tom and Alice's face were full of amazement. Tom was fascinated by space and science and Alice couldn't believe that such worlds existed.

"I can't believe you went to these places without me!" She squealed, "You are one lucky mug."

"Have you really been to Saturn?" Tom asked.

"Yes," Luna replied, "But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's because of that place that I ended up like this."

"I'd love to see planets like that."

While the three best friends chatted, the Doctor and Mrs Edwards left them. The Doctor decided to give the TARDIS a quick look over, making sure that everything was working properly. Mrs Edwards saw him leave and went after him.

She found the TARDIS and carefully entered and saw the Doctor sitting on his chair, wearing his glasses and fixing something with his sonic screwdriver. She walked up to him and coughed softly and he looked up and saw the cup of tea. He put everything he was doing down and happily took the cup from her. She then sat next to him.

"I want to thank you for looking after Luna." She said.

"Oh, it was nothing," He replied, "She's a great girl and a great assistant. You should be proud."

"I am. I knew her intelligence would get her somewhere."

There was a silence while the Doctor drank some tea.

"I think she cares about you, Doctor. I see it in her eyes; she has a sparkle in her eyes that I've never seen before."

The Doctor stayed silent and didn't look at Mrs Edwards. He was thinking about the fact that one day he would have to let Luna go. But if she was part time lord…?

"Please carry on looking after her the way you are."

"I promise."

It only took Luna a couple of days to return to full health and to be prepared to get back to the TARDIS. She packed up supplies and started to say goodbye to her mother and friends. The Doctor had given the TARIS its service and was ready to go.

"So you're off again." Alice said.

"Yeah, but this time you guys know where I am," Luna replied, "And I'll be back again for each of your birthdays."

"Bring me back some rocks from some of the planets that you visit." Tom asked.

"Ha, ha, of course I will."

"Be careful out there Luna," her mother told, "And don't forget, I'm proud of you."

Luna felt tears swell in her eyes as she hugged her mum tightly. The Doctor stuck his head out of the TARDIS and smiled softly at the sight. Once Luna had broken off the hug with her mum, she went into the TARDIS with a wave to them. The Doctor set a course on the controls and away they went.

"So where is our next adventure going to take us?" Luna asked eagerly.

"Lessons" Was all the Doctor said.

Luna just stared at him bewildered. What lessons?

I'm sorry if this chapter is shorter and not as good as the rest I struggled to make it exciting but I promise it will pick up soon. Please review.
