Yay! Long chapter! Btw way I should probably put that I don't own doctor who. Would be cool if I did though. And I still feel like 11 acts to much like 10 but I really cant find any other way to write it.

Rika ran out of the TARDIS. That box was just too weird. She was in the middle of a field ringed by hills. She hurried off only to be thrown forward as the ground behind her exploded. She screamed throwing her arms over her head as she landed face first in the grass the fall knocking her hat and glasses off.

"Rika!" the Doctor shouted running towards her sonicing the g round in front of him so it wouldn't explode.

Rika stood up and backed away, " no way! I am not going back in there. It's too – weird!"

Rika could see a town a short way away. It looked kinda like one of those old west reenactment towns. She ran off towards it the Doctor chasing after her.

"Rika, you've got to listen to me, we are not on earth anymore I am not going to leave you stranded here."

"Well looks like you wont have a choice 'cause I am not going back in that thing. Aliens aren't real. They can't be."

"Look, " the Doctor said as they approached the edge of the town, "this planet is at war, you triggered a land mine back there!

"And you're crazy! No other planets have life."

The Doctor pulled Rikas hat out of his pocket, " at least put this back on. Its illegal here for girls to walk about on their own and their not allowed to go out at all during war."

Rika stared at him. He was crazy. He had to be. Without saying anything she ran off.

Rika leaned against a wall. The town seemed empty. She pulled off her locket and stared at it. It wasn't really a locket. More like a watch, but she wore it like a locket so that's what she called it. It was the only thing she had from her parents. They had died in a car crash when she was 4. She couldn't really remember them or wreck. She had woken up in the hospital a few days afterward.

Her locket. It was almost pulsing. She hated when it did that. Whenever something alien- that space ship crashing into Big Ben, the Battle of Canary Wharf, all those planets in the sky- happened it was almost like it was trying to talk to her. That wasn't the scariest thing though.

"What are you doing here?"

Rika put the locket back on and turned to find a man wearing what looked like a cross between a modern police uniform and 18th century army uniform.

"What are you talking about?" Rika said, " I have every right to be here."

"It is, um, against the law for any woman to be upon the streets alone during warfare." He said, kinda nervously, Rika thought he looked almost scared of her.

"Look, " Rika said, " I can go anywhere I-"

Before she could fish the man pulled out a blowgun and shot her in the neck. Suddenly everything went black.

The Doctor had lost track of Rika. He was walking thorough town knocking on doors to see if anyone had seen her. He was not leaving her here. But it wasn't going very well.

The door slammed in his face and he ran to the next house over. He knocked on the door and a teenage girl opened the door.

"Hello, I'm the doctor. I'm wondering if you've seen a girl about you age, blonde hair, white shirt, blue pants and jacket with a greenish bag. Seen anyone like that?"

The girl nodded, "You mean the sorceress?"

"The what?"

"The girl, she was dressed as a sorceress. They took her to prison."

"Why would they think that?"

The girl stared at him like he was crazy, "Blue and white are the colors of a sorceress. Everyone knows that."

"What will they do to her?"

"They'll probably burn her at the stake."

Quickly the doctor ran of, "Thank you!" he shouted, "Bye!"

Rika woke up to find she was lying on the floor of what looked like a jail cell. She spotted her backpack on the other side of the room and tried to go grab it only to find that one arm was chained to the wall.

"Hey!" she shouted, "let me out of here!"

A guard outside the cell banged on the door, " silence sorceress!" he shouted.

"What? I'm not-"

The guard banged on the door again, " I said silence!"

Annoyed Rika leaned against the wall and resigned herself to waiting for the Doctor.

The Doctor managed to find the jail. After quite a bit of searching. He hurried in side and went up to the desk.

"Hello, I'm the Doctor. I would like to know if any, err… Sorceresses have been taken here recently?"

"One yeah. Why?" the clerk answered.

"Where is she?"

"The burnings in about 5 minutes around back if that's what you're asking. Everyone loves them, " he muttered, "barbaric if you ask me."

Without another word the Doctor ran out.

The cell door opened and several guards walked inside. Rika looked up.

"Hey," she said, "figured out how stupid you are yet?"

One of the guards unchained her and another tied her hands behind her back. For some reason she wasn't scared. She knew the Doctor would come, she didn't know how she knew, but she did.

They led her up and out of the cellblock. She was led out of the prison and into a prison yard at the back. There was a rather large group of men around and in the center of the yard was a wooden pole surrounded by piles of wood. She looked around but didn't see the Doctor.

Crap, Rika thought, if we really are on another planet you'd think they would have a different way of killing witches. Like maybe actually checking to see if their legit or not.

Suddenly she had an idea.

" Wait," she said as they the guards went to tie her to the stake, "you just can't kill me. You don't even have proof that I'm witch. Or sorceress."

One of the guards looked up at her as he tied the ropes, "of course we can. You were dressed as sorceress. That's all the proof we need."

" But you haven't seen me do anything bad. Maybe I just like the color blue. What I wear doesn't prove anything."

The guard didn't respond just walked away and took a lighted torch from some one else.

"DOCTOR!" Rika screamed as the guard touched the torch to the wood, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

The ropes behind her fell away she spotted the doctor pointing a glowing green device at her. She hurriedly ran of back toward the jail. The guards made to go after her but stopped as the ground shook. Rika ran around and out of the yard as the ground shook again. The Doctor followed behind her but she didn't pay any attention and ran back in to the cell bock. The Doctor grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going!" he shouted.

"To get my bag. That bag has everything I value in it. I am not leaving it on another planet!"

"Rika, I told you this planet is at war. This entire town is about to be blown up and so will we if we don't get out of her now!"

Rika glared at him and wrenching her arm from his grasp ran down the hall. She found her cell and grabbed her bag. The world shook again as the Doctor caught up with her dust raining down from the ceiling. The Doctor grabbed his hand and they ran off, the Doctor laughing as they ran back to the TARDIS.

Once they were back in the TARDIS the doctor took of then turned and looked at Rika but didn't say anything at first. Rika looked around now that she got to really see it there was something about it that was familiar. Like de ja vu.

She turned to the Doctor, "I believe you. I guess I don't really have a choice but we were really on another planet." For some reason saying it didn't sound as weird as she thought it would. Saying that felt almost- normal.

"Yep," the Doctor said, "planets, time. Bigger on the inside. Ha ha, that rhymed."

Rika laughed too, " so I guess that you'll take me back to California now?"

"If you want. But you could always come with me."

"With you? Like more planets and exploding towns?"

"Also exploding planets, aliens and spaceships."

Rika grinned, "Then sign me up."
