Ureshiitamago: *bows* please excuse my absence, I forgot that I hadn't updated. Inexcusable, and I have beaten myself up over it for the past few weeks. For those who followed me for Ghostly Crewmate, I'm updating this one because it was already half done and I had an hour of free time.
Mem: Wow, tough luck.
Ureshiitamago: yup…but I'm back for now! (more specifically, the hour I have before I have to go onto more homework…I can't wait for summer.) And my OC's are as sassy as ever!
Mem: That's only because you're so tired that you think we're sassy, when in fact, we aren't.
Ureshiitamago: *cries* Do you have to be so blunt!?
Mem: Yes, it's good for you. Mike?
Mike: ureshiitamago doesn't own Doctor Who, only the OC and original time adventure that's going on right now.
Ureshiitamago: And it will go on for a while…until I can steal back the device that allows me to watch the show…*mutters* stupid parental unit… (This was written a few months ago, I have the device back now, and am going to bring Rose in soon. ;))
Mem: -_-' here Mike, cookie. (::) And who's Rose?
Mike: Yay! XD *munch munch*
Ureshiitamago: O.o none of your concern just yet…
"Why did you come back?" He asked. She smiled wider, and the Doctor saw her cat ears twitch.
"You see me, and I see you." She answered with a grin. The Doctor stared at her for a moment, and then smiled back.
Chapter 5: Run run run run run…and, let me guess…RUN!
"Is running all we do?" I asked the Doctor from his shoulder, clinging on with my claws.
"Weell…kinda, Me-Tigger." He answered. I cringed at my alias for when I was in cat form. I still had no idea what persuaded me to allow him to call me that weird name…oh yeah, it was his puppy-dog face…
*Flashback*
"We need a name for you." The Doctor said. I sat up from the couch in the Library/pool, startled.
"Huh?" I asked stupidly. My tail swished, formed a question mark, and then uncurled to fall to the floor. The Doctor grinned at me from his place in an arm chair by the pool.
"An alias for when you're in cat form. Can't be forever calling you by your name in both forms." He tapped the side of his nose with a forefinger. "People will begin to wonder." I stared at him for a minute.
"Petunia." I shot at him. He shook his head.
"Too flowery."
"Peaches."
"Too fruity."
"Max."
"Boy's name."
"But it will throw them off."
"They'll know by looking at your behind." I blushed, and moved onto a different name. This time of the gentler(?) sex.
"Misty"
"No, you're not misty enough."
"Coco."
"Too cliché."
"Simba!"
"That was a horrible movie."
"Sorry?"
"Ah, never mind." He waved his hand for me to go on.
A/N: Don't kill me, I like The Lion King. I just think that the Doctor would scoff at it. It's a personal opinion.
"Chloe."
"Too girly."
"Sam."
"Not girly enough."
"Oh, then do you have a better one?"
"Yes, I do."
"Let's hear it then."
"Tigger." There was a pause as I processed his suggestion.
"Say again?"
"T-i-double guh-er." He said with a grin. "That spells Tigger!" I blinked at him.
"No." I shook my head, "NO." I meeped, and hid my face in the book I was reading when he turned on the puppy-dog eyes. No no, oh pleeease not the puppy-dog eyes! He sniffed convincingly, and I peeked over my book. My heart cracked in two, and I gave in.
"Fine." I sighed. The Doctor jumped out of his arm chair and (attempted) to dance around. Tigger…
*End flashback*
I glanced behind us at the globs of green gook that was currently tailing us. I wrinkled my nose, and turned back to face the front, only to dig my claws into the Doctors leather jacket as he made an abrupt turn to the right down a miniscule alleyway. He ran down the alleyway sideways, and cursed when it ended with a brick wall blocking the exit. He turned around, and we saw that the glob things were slowly squishing their way into the alleyway after us. I jumped from his shoulder and turned back into my anthro-form, pulling out my wand from its holder as I did so.
"Garsonatsa!" I shouted, waving my wand in a circle. A blast of magic that looked like ice surrounded the blobs, and they stopped moving. I turned back around to the Doctor. "Climb!" I shouted, motioning for him to hurry up. We started to climb the wall, and had no sooner jumped down on the other side than I heard the magic I had cast break. Shite.
The Doctor grabbed my hand, and we began running again.
"Is this the direction of the TARDIS?" I called to him between breaths. He was silent for a moment, and all I could hear was the breathing and stomping of feet as we ran.
"Yes!" He shouted back. I felt a prickle of dread run through me. What if it wasn't? We jumped over a rather large crack in the ground, and I screeched as more blobs emerged from it as we landed on the other side. We took off again, running at a faster pace. I chanced a glance behind me, and my veins turned to ice. The blobs were melding together.
"THE BLOBS ARE FORMING THE BLOB KING!" I screeched at the Doctor. He waved his free hand in the air in exasperation.
"You're joking!" He shouted, not looking back. "The Blob King doesn't appear to mere commoners!"
"Well, apparently he does, because there's a crown on his head, and he's freakin' HUGE!" I shouted back, wondering of the thing on the blobs' head was really a crown or if I was just seeing things. Another glance back told me that I wasn't just seeing things, and yes, there was a crown. I looked forward again when I stumbled over something. Luckily, I regained my footing, but my heartbeat, already thudding almost painfully in my chest, soared past frightened to terrified. The Doctor looked back and winced.
"Ok, so it is the King. Fantastic."
"The TARDIS!" I cried, pointing ahead of us. The Doctor swung his head around to look in the direction I was pointing.
"So it is!" He shouted, and then put on an extra burst of speed. "Faster!" Despite everything, the running for my life, the Blob King chasing after us, and the gut twisting question of whether we'd make it back to the TARDIS alive or not, I laughed happily. Truly, this was where I wanted to be, chasing after this man in front of me, running from some danger or another, traveling in a type 40 TARDIS.
As these thoughts ran through my head, we slammed into the TARDIS door, and she hummed, opening up for us. We quickly ran through, and I shut and locked the door behind us. The TARDIS shook as the blobs hit her, and the Doctor vaulted over the railing and raced to the control panel.
"Where and when?" He shouted.
"RANDOM!" I yelled back, grabbing onto the railing and squeaking when the TARDIS shook again.
"RANDOM IT IS!" His hand slammed against a button, and the TARDIS started to shake even more, though I knew it was only the regular strain of time travel that made her shake so much, it was no longer the blobs. The lights flickered, sending an already gloomy feeling control center to like something out of a horror film (The Doctor had introduced me to them a few adventures ago, and I was still enthralled with them).
Finally, after a few minutes, the TARDIS stopped shaking, and hummed happily.
"Yes, I agree," I said, "he needs to read the manual." There was laughter from the direction I had seen the Doctor fall to.
"Fantastic! That was Fantastic!" he shouted. I grinned.
"Where and when are we?" I asked, shifting to my cat form and bounding over to where he had fallen.
"Let me see." He picked me up, and then stood up, walking over to the place where there are buttons. (I still couldn't remember what it was called. I come from a world where there aren't any machines, so sue me.)
"Earth," he continued, "the UK, South London, 7:30 am, 2005. Oh good, I like this time period, there isn't anything interesting. I can take you sightseeing. You've never been to Earth in this time period, have you?" I wriggled out of his grasp and shifted back to my anthro form, shaking my head. The Doctor hummed.
"I think we can convince people that you're cosplaying, but do you want to be in your anthro or cat form?" He asked me. I thought for a moment.
"What do the people on this, 'Earth', look like?" I asked. If it was close enough to my anthro or cat form, I could put a glamor spell on.
"Like you and me, except not like you and me." He answered.
"Very specific. More details please?"
"Less colorful, more earthy tones, clothes are okay, no ears or tails, unless you're a cat, and then tone down the color a tad bit." The Doctor said with a grin. I wrinkled my nose at him and pulled out my wand from its holster.
"Alvidiera non matastersa, seconase trelida." I said, waving my wand in a circle above my head. Gold flowed from the tip of my wand and covered me until I felt change. My ears and tail popped out of existence, and the part of my braid I could see dulled to a non-vibrant red, with bright green streaks. Everything else stayed the same.
"There we go, now you just look like a punk." The Doctor said happily.
"Punk?" I questioned as I sheathed my wand and walked to the doors of the TARDIS with him. TARDIS hummed goodbye, and I waved at the green glowy thing absently.
"It's a stereotype in this day and age." The Doctor explained, opening the door and gesturing for me to go out first. I slid past him and looked around at the place we had landed in. It looked to be an alleyway.
"Doctor?"
"That's me!"
"Where're we going to go?"
"I was thinking popular tourist places, but that would be boring, so how about a park?"
"I love nature."
"That's settled then." He grabbed my hand, and we walked off to wherever there was a park.
"What's that?" I asked, pointing up at what looked to be a huge clock.
"That's Big Ben. I knew the person who built it. A bit crazy, but a genius."
"Aren't all genius's crazy?"
"Yes. I guess they are." The Doctor smiled. After a relaxing day of sightseeing, the Doctor and I were walking back to the TARDIS when his screwdriver let off a sound that made me cringe.
"What was that?" I asked after the noise had stopped, rubbing my human ears. The Doctor was examining the screwdriver, and looking up at a place that had a banner that read 'Henrick's sale sale Henrick's'.
"There's something off. The sonic's been acting like this the whole day…" he trailed off as we walked back the way we came, and the sonic made the sound again when we passed something that my mind identified as plastic.
"It's coming from here," I said helpfully. The Doctor nodded, and then looked around.
"Want to get into your cat form, just in case?" the Doctor suggested. I nodded.
"Anyone around?"
"Nope."
"Okay then, here we go." I transformed into my cat form, which was just as colorful as it always was, and leapt into his arms, and climbed onto his shoulder.
"Ready?"
"Do cats talk here?"
"Nope."
"Oh…meow." The Doctor laughed, and ran down an alleyway, opened a door, and jumped as a plastic human narrowly missed punching him on the neck. I yowled, and clung onto his leather jacket as he tore around a corner, and hid in a large room.
"Doctor, there are a lot of plas-tic humans in here," I hissed into his ear. I felt him nod against my whiskers.
"I know," he said. "But be quiet for now, Tigger." It was my turn to nod, and I peered around at the plastic humans, before I heard the unmistakable sound of a door slamming.
"Doctor." I hissed into his ear. "A door just-" I was cut off as a voice came from the other side of the room from where we were hiding.
"Wilson? Wilson…Oh, you've got to be kidding me." I silently gasped as the plastic humans started moving in the direction of the voice. "Is that someone mucking about? Who is it?"
"I should distract them." I hissed, starting to get up off of his shoulder. His hand clamped over my shoulders, holding me down.
"No, let's wait for the opportune moment to interfere," he countered. Reluctantly, I lay down again. The plastic humans were closing in on the voice, moving slowly and shakily.
"Yeah," the voice said, "you got me. Very funny…Right, I've got the joke. Who's idea was this? Is it Derek's? Is it? Derek, is this you?"
"We've got to help her!" I whispered into the Doctor's ear. He nodded, and rose to a crouch, moving slowly around the perimeter of the room so as not to alert the plastic humans of our presence. A plastic human male was about to kill her when the Doctor grabbed her wrist and grinned at her.
"Run." He said, and then dragged her after us.
I hope ya'll liked it, sorry for the wait, and I decided to incorporate Rose now. :) next will be the meeting in Rose's apartment, and running into more automans.
