It was then he realized what he had done, how rudely he had acted. He cringed, "Oh Nicolette…I'm sorry. I can see how that came off…"

I breathed out slowly and fought the urge to respond with a healthy dose of sarcasm.

"Let's just try to open the door?"

He nodded, and again tried everything he seemed to know. When nothing worked, eyebrows curving down in frustration, he tried not to let the defeat show. He was making an effort to stay strong now, to resume a collected and confident air, after how he had acted. I sighed softly, moving my hand to my dark curling locks; I shoved a swath of it up and shook it through my fingers making it fall to the side a moment later.

I turned to the Doctor, "Well, let's make the best of it." I said with a smile.

"Would you like to explore?" he snickered.

"Why not," the sarcasm couldn't retain itself anymore, and was now garishly exposed. "It'll be an adventure!"

Underneath the sarcasm was a hint of excitement in my voice; the Doctor heard it and smirked again. "You do have a heart." He whispered.

I shot him a pointed stare, but couldn't keep a small smile from creeping onto my face.

I turned to Toast…who was...gone. She was completely out of sight, nowhere to be found. I started to panic, my eyes going wide and threatening to break with tears. Being stuck on an alien planet is one thing, but this was my best friend and that was a whole other story.

"TOAST!" I called out desperately, "Toast! Toast, where are you?"

There was no answer from the teal waves, sloshing against the ramp mockingly. There was no answer from the burnt orange sky, the black lethal rocks, or The Doctor. I turned to him, "We have to find her."

(^*^)

hi. this is Toast, the person. i'm the muse to my own character, Sarah/Toast. (don't tell Writer; i hacked her account)

I can't say how thankful i am that you, the reader, are actually reading this. It's a great honor to me and my hacked friend :D

this is a very epic story you're reading, and i urge you to be patient and wait for the chapters to be uploaded. they come out slow, but i'm good at badgering, and that's what i'll do. thank you guys for reading! :D

oh, and hey. i added the profile pic above as a kind of easter egg for you guys. ;D first one to figure out what kind of flower it is recieves the great honor of bragging rights and sparkles of Dr. Who awesomeness and their right to choose their favorite companion to the Doctor in previous or continuing seasons, whether it be a long standing companion or one who lasted for just one episode. for example, i still completely ship Donna and that guy in the Silence in the Library episode but i never learned his name. if someone could also find that for me, i would love you forever.

quick hint for the easter egg: this flower has a huge, very deep meaning to the plotline ;D good luck, kiddies!
