Fireflies Chapter 6
Bella's P.O.V
"So Doctor, you never told me about yourself, I told you everything about me, your turn." I asked him as I lent against the controls. He looked at me with a week smile on his face.
"My people were from a planet called
Gallifrey. The Last time war, destroyed it." he frowned as he sat on the chair, I sat on the floor by him, rapped in the story of his. "There was a war between the time lords and a race called the Daleks. Me and this Dalek were the last of are kinds, and somehow we fallen through time, crashing onto Earth. The Dalek self-destructs and it was just me. The very last survivor of the time war, well so I thought." he looked at me with sadness in his eyes. "The Daleks came back and came to destroy the Earth, Which I have saved thousand of times and the master."
"How did you get the TARDIS?" I asked him.
"I borrowed it and sorta never gave it back, I was going to, I didn't have the time." he grinned at me, I smiled back.
"Didn't have the time? Your the time lord." I laughed.
"Yeah time lord." he replied as he got up.
"Where do you wanna go?" he asked me. He helped me up.
"I have no idea." I replied, he looked at me and I gazed back. Then I heard a ring of a phone? Can't be, were in space! He rushed over to the other side of the controls and picked it up.
"Hello?" he asked. "Yes, I'm cool like always, you?" he grinned. "Good, good, sorry what?" he replied. "You want to see us, I mean me." he smiled. I stared at him with a evil grin on my face. "Did I?" he asked. "Well I meant I, being lonely always makes you go a little loopy." he grinned. "So can I make it? Of course we can, I sorry." he grinned. "K, bye." he slammed the phone down.
"Oh-Kay I have loads of questions for you, one who was it? Two why didn't you say my name? Three, How can you get lonely when you have me and last..."
"Shhhh!" he said as he placed his finger on my mouth. "That was Sarah-Jane Smith."
"And who's Sarah-Jane Smith?" I questioned.
"My" he coughed. "Friend." he looked down.
"And how many 'friends' have you had?" I asked as I did bunny rabbit ears on the friend part.
"Lets Just Say Over 2." he replied.
"And how many friends over two were girls?" I questioned. He stared at me and smiled.
"1 or 5 or 7 or..."
"Or all of them?"
"Yes except captain Jack and Mickey and Rory." he replied.
"I bet the TARDIS has got some kind of face picture thing." I smiled. "When you say 'Show the photos of my travellers.'" I smiled as I walked around the panel.
"Nope it won't work it's voice controlled so I would have to say 'Show the photos of my travellers' wouldn't I?" he replied. I raced around to him, grinning madly.
"Thank you soo much!" I shouted, he looked at me like I was talking a different language, then he realised. He moaned and put his head in his hands in defeat. I rushed over to see loads of photo's of girls being projected onto the wall.
"Why was she in a bikini?" I shouted at him.
"I don't know, it was along time ago." He shouted back. "Stop the pictures." the doctor shouted then the projector went and so did the images.
"Doctor, why do you take more girls than boys?" I asked him.
"Because girls...err...humm...I always have." he replied.
"So your the next paedophile, snatching girls from there beds, asking them to face danger." I said sarcastically. He stared at me.
"You didn't have to come!" he stated.
"Just a joke doc!" I said as I put my hands up above my head. He rolled his eyes at me. "There must be a reason." I replied.
"If there was, I couldn't have remembered. I'm 907 Bella, I know what a star is, how it was formed how it dies and Maybe I was there when it happened. I'm way older than you and that Cullen Vampire and properly his vampire dad! Every girl that I take has some kind of feisty attitude or a funny sense to them or... Very willing to try things out." he smiled at himself as he sat down. I looked at the ground.
"Why did you pick me?" I asked him. "I'm none of them, not a one!" I whispered as tears began to fill up. "I'm not brave, I'm not funny and I'm not feisty." my throat started to close on me, I felt like crying. I didn't want to show him. "I'm just lonely and annoying to be around." I cried silently as I shrugged before I walked away. Maybe he should have chose Rosalie or Alice. There brave, funny and have a feisty side to them.
"Woah Bella!" he called up to me as I began walking the stairs as I sobbed. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him dart up out of his seat. "I didn't mean to make you upset." he whispered as he placed his hand on my shoulder. I looked at his big pale hand and ran of crying.

Doctors POV
Great doctor just great! I thought. You made her upset. That's one great way of getting on with your traveller. May as well go to Sarah. I thought. And now when one of your friends is upset you go thinking about leaving her and running of to somebody else that's a great way to solve a problem and I don't think humans like that. I walked up the stairs quietly, and then I saw her. Her back towards me, her legs were up to her chest and her head rested on them and Her hair fell perfectly to the side. God! why do I have to make her sad?
"Swan?" I asked quietly, she sniffled. "Are you, are you alright?" I asked again. She didn't reply. "Bella?" I asked once more.
"Leave me alone," she cried. "I'm not good enough for you." she whispered.
"What?" I replied in shock.
"Please just leave." she cried.
"If that's what you want." I replied as I backed off. I ran down the stairs and pulled the levers to go.
"Hold on!" I shouted up to her, I had no reply. I pulled down the lever and of we went. It shook and it moaned. I looked up at Bella on her bed as she looked away from me and into the distance. I sighed as I looked back down. It landed with a thump.
"You coming Bella?" I asked her she turned fully away from me. "I'm guessing it's an no. There's a Spare TARDIS key in case you want to come." I shouted. "By the chair." I pointed even though she couldn't see me. "Bye." I said before I walked out and shut the door. I walked into a room. A dark room full of benches and flowers and in front of me was a coffin. I pulled a slightly 'Ew' face before I walked swiftly around it. I walked up the hall and out of the room.
"Left or Right?" I asked myself as I switched my head between them.
"Left." I said before I walked quickly that way and just around the corner was Sarah.
"Hi Sarah." I grinned as I stopped in front of her. She jumped. "Clyde, Rani, long time no see." I grinned.
"Who are you?" Rani asked.
"And how do you know are names?" Clyde questioned.
"Come on you two I thought you were smarter than that!" I laughed.
"It's you, isn't it?" Sarah asked me.
"Of course it's me!" I reminded her.
"You've done it again doctor." she sighed.
"He's the doctor?" Clyde said shocked. I nodded.
"The one and only!" I grinned as I rocked out.
"You look like a baby!" Sarah moaned.
"Oi! Imagine it from my point of view, last time you entered the TARDIS you were young and fresh, now you're just a wrinkled baked potato." I laughed. She pulled a shocked face while Rani and Clyde sniggered.
"It's good to have you back." Sarah grinned.

Meanwhile, in the TARDIS. (Bella's POV)
Finally I had my crying fit over and now to see the doctor! I thought as I got up, sorted myself out and ran to the door, tripping over one of the stairs. I raced to the door and pulled it open. It didn't budge.
"What?" I asked myself as I pulled it and rattled it. "He's locked it, the key is..." I said. "By the chair!" it clicked as I ran to the chair, snatched the key and legged to open the door. It opened with a tug and I walked out to find a coffin in front of me.
"Sorry." I whispered before being surrounded by bird things. I dodged them as they tried to zap me.
"Left, Right." I said quickly.
"Left!" I said as I ran in that direction. Then I saw the doctors tweed blazer.
"Run!" I called as I grabbed the doctor's hand and ran with him.
"Who are you?" a dark skinned boy asked me.
"Nobody." I replied as I pushed him in a room. Two teenagers and a old lady followed before I slammed the door. The doctor locked it with his sonic.
"I'm Bella." I said before the questions came blurting out.
"Clyde." the boy said as he offered his hand to me. I shook it and smiled. Now his got manners. Clyde was wearing a grey top with black trousers.
"Rani." the girl with dark hair smiled as she offered her hand out. I shook it and smiled. She was wearing a grey coloured sleeveless jacket with some black skinny jeans. She's seems a fun loving girl.
"Sarah-Jane Smith. Nice to meet you Bella." she smiled, without a handshake. She was wearing a denim jacket with jeans. Then something was banging at the door.
"Yes there's a coffin in there, who's is it?" the doctor asked, Rani and Sarah looked down.
"Yours." Clyde replied.
"Oh." he said shocked. "I've always wanted to see my own funeral." he grinned. He grins at the stupidest of times.
"Now the Shansheeth are going to kill you." Rani said. "That's why it's your funeral."
"Oh that's bad. Very indeed." he replied.
"Clyde, Rani and Swan go and find information, while me and SJ will see what they want." the doctor grinned as he pushed us all closer to the door.
"But the Shansheeth?" Rani asked.
"Good point." he said as he thought. Then he started to push us to the ventilation shaft.
"Not again." I moaned. The doctor soniced the shaft door, it fell of and Clyde went in, then Rani then Me. "But?" I questioned.
"No buts." the doctor said. I climbed In and we started to shuffle.
"You got my lipstick Rani." Sarah shouted.
"Thanks!" she shouted. Why would you want lipstick at a time like this? We shuffled around the shaft until Rani sat up and jumped out. I did the same.
"So Bella, you're travelling with the doctor?" Rani asked.
"Yeah."
"Where did you come from?" Clyde asked me.
"Forks, Washington dc. America. Don't worry I'm not an alien." he laughed,
"Cool my friend lives in America." Clyde chirped.
"Big world." I replied.
"So what aliens have you fought?" Rani asked me; I sat down on the floor. They joined me.
"Sontarans, Weeping Angels, the dream lord, cyber men. Shansheeth and that's it for now." I replied.
"I've heard of all of them and we have fought the Sontarans, but what on earth is a dream lord?" she asked with a welcoming smile.
"Well that was a journey!" I laughed. "Were do I began, well there was these grains of physic pollen, the doctor said it fell in the generator and we fell asleep."
"What we didn't know that we were switching between a dream and reality. One was we were in the TARDIS it was my 18th birthday and we were heading towards a cold star."
"A cold star? That can't exist." Clyde Laughed.
"I thought they didn't too but that's life, anyway the other dream was in a little town in the English countryside and I was married to the Doctor and I was sorter...well pregnant." I looked down at that part. Rani sighed happily.
"That's soo cute, was it the doctors?" she asked me. I nodded.
"Woah the Doctors got it going on!" Clyde clapped, me and Rani looked at him.
"So anyway In the dream I was just telling you about, we had to like defeat these alien old people, that had eye thingy's and they sprayed this gas at you and if you get caught by the gas you turn into ash."
"Sounds nice." Clyde said sarcastically. Rani elbowed him.
"So how do you know which dream was real?" Rani asked me clearly hung by my tail.
"Well when the dream lord kept me in the TARDIS with no doctor because whenever you heard the birds you fell asleep, and the dream lord made him hear them not me, so I was stuck with this guy and believe me he was totally creepy, because he was really old and small, it was just creepy when he tried to come on to me." I laughed at that part. "So when he finally let me go, I fell asleep and woke up in my unborn baby's room, I shot up finding the doctor by me. He explained everything, then it began, the baby, worst pain ever!" I exclaimed. "Then on top of that the pensioner mashed threw the window and the doctor got up to protect me but he got sprayed, he pushed the old lady out until collapsed by me. Now I was feeling physical and mental pain. The doctor was turning into dust in front of my eyes and our baby was coming." I sighed. They looked at me with water in there eyes. "And when he eventually disappeared into ash, I cried. Made my decision because a world without the doctor couldn't happen and died with him the same way. Then we woke up in the TARDIS cold as ice. Then the doctor blew up the TARDIS and we realised that it was two dreams that we were choosing from."
"Yeah but who was The Dream Lord?" Clyde asked, I looked at him and smiled.
"The Doctor, his fear is getting old. 907." I said. They looked shocked.
"Not bad for his age." Rani grinned.
"I know!" I replied happily.
"So do you fancy the Doctor?" Rani asked me.
"I...Err." I stuttered.
"Come on Bella, Spit it out!" Clyde shouted.
"Yes! Of course I love him!" I shouted back but after realising what I just said I gasped and put my hand over my mouth. SHIT! They stared at each other then at me.
"Why don't you tell him that?" Rani replied.
"I don't think he would respond good, put it that way." I replied.
"Yeah but if you don't tell him, we will!" Clyde smiled evilly.
"No please!" I begged.
"Think Bella if he dies he will never know that you loved him." Rani said. I looked at her, she was right. To put me out of my thoughts I heard banging and by the looks on there faces, they did too, it sounded like it was coming from the ventilation shaft.
"Don't worry gang, its just me." the doctor shouted, it echoed around the room, madly.
"Speak of the Devil." Clyde whispered,
"Here's your chance." Rani whispered to me as she pushed me to the doctor.
"Swan you seem stressed, want anything?" he asked me.
"I...Err..." I stuttered. Rani rolled her eyes at my answer.
"For gods sake!" Rani shouted.
"Doctor, Bella loves you." Clyde shouted at us. My face went blood red, my cheeks were on fire and I was so embarrassed out of the corner of my eye I saw the doctor go red as well.
"Clyde, Rani!" I moaned.
"You...You...You do?" he asked me, my head spun.
"Yes." I replied.
"Yes." he said casually.
"What?" I asked gob smacked.
"I love you." he replied as he stared into my eyes.
"I love you too, you idiot." I grinned.
"You mean it?" he asked me.
"Of course I mean it, do you?" I replied.
"Yes I do." he grinned.
"JUST KISS THE GIRL!" Clyde and Rani shouted. I gazed at the doctor and he cupped my face and our mouths met. He was a better kisser than Eddie boy for sure, he was much passionate while Edwerido was depressing little sod.
"Is it just me or is it getting a little hot in here?" Clyde asked.
"Clyde don't ruin there moment!" Rani hissed. The Doctor pulled away and looked up. I looked up too.
"Yes it is." he replied as he took his blazer off.
"Were being cooked alive." I said panicked.
"That's not the only thing. The Shansheeth have locked us in." Clyde said as he rattled the shaft doors.
"Stand Back!" Rani exclaimed as she pulled her lip stick out, "Sonic Lipstick." the doctor whispered.
"Wicked!" I grinned, she zapped the shaft and it wouldn't budge.
"SARAH-JANE!" we called.
"Doctor, we have Sarah- Jane if you want her back, alive. You must give up your traveller and your TARDIS. What's your decision?" a croaky voice echoed. Shansheeth.
"They've been spying on us." Rani exclaimed.
"Im happy to go." I said as I turned to the doctor.
"What?" he asked.
"I'm going, Sarah might be a mum, if they do something to her. You get the picture." I replied. He stared at me with water in his eyes.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Of course I'm sure. I'm Bella Swan." I grinned. He smiled back.
"Is it just me that doesn't get what on earth there doing?" Clyde asked Rani.
"I know what there doing." Rani replied.
"Here." The Doctor replied smiled as he gave me the Sonic screwdriver.
"Thanks."
"Now everyone out." the doctor ordered. We climbed in the shaft and shuffled out were the Shansheeth waited for me.
"Hurry up then." I shouted as I jumped out. "Do your worst." I hissed. One of them grabbed my arms and made me walk. We walked back into the room were the TARDIS was, there was about 7 other birds and the 3 with me.
"Bella you have something, that we need." one of the croaked out.
"What?" I hissed as the tied me to a chair. But no ordinary chair, with wires and clamps. They pointed at my neck, a diamond pendent, my mum said it was very special and that I should always were it.
"Get stuffed, your not having it!" I hissed.
"You will or else the TARDIS explodes."
"Do you want the key?" I asked.
"We need the energy, to regenerate are race."
"Regenerate what now?" I asked. "This is just a diamond necklace." I hissed.
"Bella don't listen to them, don't do it!" the doctor shouted, "Get yourself out! They are going to kill you!".
"Don't I know that already, that's why I put myself here!" I shouted back.
"Silent's!" the bird shouted.
"Take it. You'll never be able to get into it, I haven't yet." I grinned. "You got what you want now. You let me out!" I hissed.
"Where still going to blow up the TARDIS!"
"That's not fair." I replied.
"Life's not fair, Miss Swan deal with it." the bird snorted. Then they all began to laugh. They set a timer and the disappeared.
"DOCTOR!" I called. "THEY'VE GONE AND TOOK MY NECKLACE, THERE'S A COUNTDOWN TO BLOW UP THE TARDIS! IM STUCK IN THIS CHAIR AND HELP ME!" I shouted as I struggled.
"Don't worry Bella, were coming!" the doctor replied.
"Hurry! There's 2 minutes to go!" I shouted as I struggled. The whole room started to buzz. "THE ROOM!" I shouted as everything shook, the coffin fell off and Sarah-Jane fell out.
"SARAH!" I called, "Are you alright?" I asked.
"Yep." she said as she crawled over to me.
"The sonic is in my top pocket!" I called to her, she searched and then she got it and un-hooked me from my chair.
"Get out Sarah, I don't want you to get hurt!" I shouted as I got up, just before a plant pot came crashing down on me. I fell to the floor with an almighty bang, mashing my head on the chair as I did it.
"Ow." I cried as I placed my hand on my head, to find my gooey red blood oozing out of my head. I pulled pottery out of my chest as I doctor came.
"Swan!" the doctor called.
"My head it's hurting the most." I sobbed as He pulled pieces of pottery out of my head, I stared at him as he did it. He placed my bleeding head on his lap. He scanned my body, seeing chip after chip of pottery in me. By the look on his face, I was going to die. No way about it. "What's going to happen to me?" I cried, he dapped my tears away and smiled.
"Your going to be just fine, promise." he grinned, but I knew it was a lie, I nodded anyway. "Sarah! Stop the bomb, Clyde, Rani stand well back!" he called to them.
"Why?" I asked faintly. Out of the corner of my eye Sarah stopped the bomb and I felt the room stopped shaking. Then I felt the cold metal chain of my necklace on my neck and then my diamond changed as it let yellow gas escape from it. I thought it was just a necklace until that came out. The doctor placed my head on the floor and I cried at the pain.
"Doctor..." I whispered, as I held my hand out surrounded by this gas. "Where are you going?" I asked. "Don't leave me...to...die." I sobbed. "I don't want to die... Doctor."
"I have no choice. I'll be back. Sooner than you think." he said as he kissed my head. He ran to Sarah, Clyde and Rani before taking cover. The doctor stared at me with tears running down his face but he was smiling, he turned away as I felt a burning tingle before I burst, well I thought I burst because The gas went out of my arms and my head and I didn't Evan see anything. After about two minutes and Then it stopped, I lay on the floor gasping for air. I saw the gas crawl back in the diamond before it closed. I was healed. No bleeding skull, no pottery in my head or body I was back to normal.
"What on earth was that?" Clyde asked.
"Regeneration." Sarah smiled. The doctor rushed over to me and helped me up with a smile on his face.
"You my kind!" he cried as he hugged me.
"I'm what?" I asked him.
"Time lord. That Energy was regeneration energy. Your like me, changes every time you regenerate, but why didn't you?" he asked himself. He listened to my chest.
"One heart though."
"Your Alien now?" Rani asked.
"I don't know." I replied.
"I'm sure Mr. Smith will no about it." Sarah smiled.
"Yes everyone into the TARDIS before the Shansheeth know that the necklace has gone." The doctor smiled. He opened the TARDIS and we all rushed in.
"Cool." Clyde said as he stared around The TARDIS
"Indeed." The doctor smiled.
"Ready, hold on tight, it could get bumpy." we all grabbed on something as we travelled to Sarah's house I think.
We landed softly and we laughed as we casually walked out.
"Where's Luke?" the doctor asked.
"He's gone university, with K9."
"Woah hasn't he grown up." the doctor smiled. Sarah smiled then turned to the wall.
"Mr Smith I need you." Sarah shouted, then air blow out from the sides and these doors opened and there was a massive key board thing.
"Good Evening Sarah-Jane, Clyde, Rani and the Doctor." the computer said.
"That's awesome! A talking computer!" I grinned.
"Sarah-Jane alien activity detected in the house." The computer said casually as I was stuck in this invisible jail thing.
"Its ok Mr. Smith. She won't harm us." then I was out of the jail.
"Sorry Bella." the computer apologised.
"It's fine." I replied a bit confused that it said sorry.
"We need you to scan Bella here." Sarah smiled as she places her hand on me.
"This won't hurt. Bella." Mr. Smith said as a blue scanner well scanned my body.
"Scanning complete."
"Well?" the Doctor asked as he stood by me.
"Isabella Marie Swan. Born
September 13, 1987. Age 23. Brown Hair, Brown eyes." Mr. Smith said (A/N this is set in 2010, so Bella is 23 instead of 18. Edward never proposed to Bella. Just setting it straight :D )
"Yes we know that Mr. Smith. Anything else?" Doctor replied.
"Bella is actually 236 years old. She was saved as her real parents sent her away to escape the time war 10minutes before it started. She had been travelling the universe in an escape pod for about 100 years as a baby. Until she crashed on to Earth and founded by Her Dads Nan in 1987. They claimed her as her own and have ever told her about what she truly is." Mr. Smith claimed.
"How come she's only got one heart?" The Doctor said.
"She was born with one heart, Doctor." He answered.
"So I'm alien?" I asked Mr. Smith.
"Yes Bella, you survived the time war completely." he replied.
"If I escaped the war, how come I can't remember it, any of it in fact?" I stated.
"Your Necklace Bella, holding all the secrets and the regeneration energy." he replied.
"Makes sense." I shrugged.
"Open it!" Clyde shouted as he ran in front of me.
"Clyde, if she wanted to she couldn't. The information would kill her and her energy would escape." Mr. Smith said.
"Oh right." Clyde frowned.
"Righto!" The Doctor clapped as he headed towards the TARDIS.
"Where are you of too?" Sarah asked.
"We have places to go, Worlds to see." he replied.
"And your going without saying goodbye?" She asked as she ran to him with Clyde and Rani hot on her heels.
"No." he replied as he hugged Sarah.
"See you soon Sarah-Jane Smith." he smiled and let go.
"Rani, Clyde!" he exclaimed. "My favourite Teenagers." he said as he hugged them. He let go and smiled. "Keep saving the world." he replied as he put his hands on their shoulders.
"Will do." Rani smiled.
"That's what we do." Clyde said as he saluted the Doctor, he laughed. He ran back in the TARDIS and poked his head out. I walked over to Sarah.
"Thank-You Bella for saving me." Sarah said.
"Your welcome." I replied as I hugged her. "I hope we met again soon." I chirped. She let go and smiled.
"Me too. It was a pleasure meeting you, you were just like the Doctor said." She grinned as she let go. I stared at the doctor.
"What did you say?" I moaned at him.
"Don't worry swan it was all good." Sarah answered. She kissed my cheek and I kissed hers, then I moved to Rani and Clyde.
"Rani, Clyde, where would I be without you?" I grinned happily.
"Not here for sure." Clyde replied with a smile.
"I'm going to miss you two!" I shouted as I locked them into a hug.
"Us too." they replied. We let go and smiled. I kissed Clyde on his forehead, then Rani.
"Bye Rani, Bye Clyde." I smiled as I walked away.
"Bye Bella."
"Bye Sarah-Jane." I shouted as I met the doctor. We smiled at each other and shouted.
"Bye Mr. Smith!"
"Bye Doctor, Bye Bella." Mr. Smith said. We walked inside as the Doctor closed the doors. We rushed to the panel.
"We will see them again?" I asked him as I held the lever.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." he grinned as he placed his hand on mine and smiled. He kissed my cheek and pulled the the lever down. Of we went.
