At the mention of her name his eyes grew sad. I could sense it. Feel how upset he was. So, I kissed his cheek.
"What was that for?" He asked with a small confused smile.
"For being you."
"So I'm staying here with my ginger friend and you two are going to go alien catching?"
"Yeah that sounds about right. Are you ready Kairi?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
"We'll be back."
I walk to Donna and hug her. "Please this one time stay here be careful have fun with Jack. I can't lose you." I hold her tight. She whispers "I wouldn't ever dream of leaving you."
I pull away and give her a small smile. "Stay. Goodbye Jack, take care of her."
The Doctor took my hand.
"Allons-y!" And off we went.
…
"Are you sure it's in here Doctor?" I whisper as we walk through the warehouse.
"Yes, didn't you see the slime trail?"
"Well yeah but it stopped awhile back."
We both looked up at the ceiling and there it was the little purple alien just sticking there.
"That explains why the trail cut off. How are we going to get up there?"
"I've got it Doctor." I climb up a ladder that goes halfway up the wall and jump onto a large crate.
"What are you doing come back down here."
"No way. I'm going to get the alien then I'll come back."
"Kairi!"
"Shush! You're going to scare it."
"Rassilion Kairi!"
I continued my trek up towards the alien. There is a large metal pillar that I could reach the alien from if I could manage to get to it. I run and jump to the crate next to the one I'm standing on. I walk to the wall and jump up to grab a pipe. Hanging from the pipe I shimmied across the gap between the crate I'm on and one of the shorter metal bars. I leap backwards and catch myself on top of the metal bar.
"Would you be careful?" I looked down and the Doctor looked as if he would have a heart attack at any second.
"Calm down. I'm good at this." I stand up and jump catching the bar above me. I pull myself on top of it.
"I think I can get him Doctor. Come here little fella."
The alien looked afraid and hid within itself.
"Come here sweetie I won't hurt you." I walk to the end of the bar and reach forward. The alien came towards my hand and touched it with its paw. It was a bit like a sticky purple cat or maybe a hedgehog without the bristles. It was absolutely adorable.
"Come here little buddy." I turned my hand so that my palm was up and it walked across it and up my arm to sit on my neck. I backed up on the bar.
"I've got it Doctor."
\(~0~)/
"I wish you were more careful."
"Oh calm down would you?" Kairi jumped down towards the ground which was a good 12 feet below the metal bar she had been standing on.
"What are you doing!" Kairi had jumped directly off of the bar towards the ground and landed on her hands and feet. She stood up and brushed off her hands.
"Will you just chill out really you'd think you were my father."
"Just give me the animal." I hold out my hand
"No. You'll scare him."
"Kairi stop being difficult and give him to me."
"No he's mine."
"You can't keep it."
"I can do what I want."
"Kairi don't do this."
"Doctor I want him. He's adorable. You wouldn't let me have an Adipose let me keep this." She picked up the animal off of her shoulder and held it in her arms stroking it.
"It's sticky and purple."
"I'll give it a bath. It's covered in its own poison so only you and I can touch it until we clean it off."
"Fine."
"I can keep it?" She smiled widely at me.
"I suppose." I grimace and roll my eyes.
"Thank you." She kisses my cheek once again.
"We do need to find out how it got here."
"I have an idea."
"What's that?"
"We should search the woods by the TARDIS."
"Why's that?"
"Because that's where the goop was by and I bet he came in like some alien pet carrier."
"You mean like an alien ordered him and the coordinates were set to Earth on accident?"
"Yeah. Or maybe something hit his little carrier craft and sent him here. It would explain why he was so afraid."
"I suppose so. Let's go check."
We walked out of the warehouse and over the hill towards the woods. Kairi was still cooing to the little creature. She really likes animals.
We walked into the forest and began to look around. I saw a little trail of purple.
"Kairi."
"Yeah?"
"Come this way." I walked along the purple path and behind a tree was a small cube.
"I was right wasn't I?"
"Maybe. If that's what this is." I pick it up and look inside. There was purple stuff on the floor and walls of the box.
"He was really afraid."
"I know. He tried hiding from me I thought he was going to get hurt."
"It looks as if he was being sent somewhere."
"So like he's a breed of alien pet?"
"Yes. Basically he's a mixture of Earth animals."
"I think he looks like a cat and a hedgehog."
"Well there you go. What are you gonna name it?"
"I think I'll name him Saber."
"Saber?"
"Yes. I like it."
"It's a great name." I smile at her and she giggles.
"So should we get back to the TARDIS so you and Saber can wash up?" She looks at herself and realizes she's also covered in the purple goop from holding Saber.
"Yeah. You go in first though so you can tell Donna and Jack."
"Alright shall we?"
We began walking back to the TARDIS and when we get there I enter it first.
"Hello." I say cheerily and then blush as I realize Donna and Jack were busy. I turn on the spot and block Kairi's entrance.
"Move Doctor." She says raising her eyebrow at me.
"We really shouldn't go in there."
"Why not?"
\(~0~)/
Jack appears behind the Doctor with his shirt off.
"Oh. Hello Jack" I giggle and smile and the Doctor turns to him.
"Jack seriously. The console room?" The Doctor sounds cross but Jack and I just start laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" He turns to ask me.
"Doctor I probably should have went in first."
"What do you mean?" He looks confused and crosses his arms.
I turn my back to him and Jack and back into the TARDIS making sure that my front doesn't touch Jack.
"I've seen both of them without their clothes on. That site wouldn't have bothered me as much as it bothered you." I giggle once again and begin walking across the console room towards my bedroom.
"Hello Donna." I give her a wink and she's still blushing from the Doctor's walk in. I just giggle and keep walking.
