Theta and Kera were walking hand in hand when Theta suddenly covered her eyes. "Wha?! Theta what are you doing?!"
Theta kept is hold on her face and said. " I want this to be a surprise!"
Kera was confused but let Theta lead her through the hallways. She smelled the sent of the trees and realized that she was somewhere outside of the Academy, which was completely against the law.
She was going to tell Theta to take her back to the dorms but she felt a sense of excitement because of the unknown and she already promised herself that she would trust him wholeheartedly.
They walked into a mysteries building and Theta stopped Kera. "Ok. Stay there. Don't open them yet."
Kera nodded her head and she felt Theta leave her side.
The space of darkness brightened a bit and Theta returned by Kera's side. "Ok. open your eyes."
Kera felt the butterfly's in her stomach as she lifted her eyelids.
Standing in front of her was a beautiful blue TARDIS. It looked like an old police telephone book and stood like a trophy in the center of the room.
Kera was speechless. "Oh Theta it's beautiful. But why does it look like a police box?"
Theta nervously put his hands in his pocket. "Uh. You see I was kind of messing around with it and now I can't change it back. Oops."
Kera just sighed but then realized something. "Wait. You said you were messing around inside?"
Theta walked to the other side of Kera. "Yep. Would you like to see?"
Kera just nodded her head excitedly as Theta pushed open the door and let her step inside.
When Kera walked into control room the TARDIS made a sweet humming noise. Like it was welcoming her. She walked up to the console and rubbed her fingers across the different nobs and throughout her life she had never found a place that she could call her own and this place truly felt like home.
Kera turned back to Theta who was just watching her a grinning like a fool. "This is gorgeous Theta. I wonder how it fly's?"
Theta walked up to her and put his hand on top of hers. "Do you want to find out?"
Kera looked down at Theta and her's hand. "What!? You mean fly in the TARDIS? No Theta I can't. Breaking into the library was one thing traveling outside of the planet?! My father would literally kill me!"
Theta looked into Kera eyes and sighed. "I just wanted you to leave this planet once in your life before your stuck here forever."
Kera immediately felt awful for what she had said to him. He was just wanted to help. But she couldn't leave her planet. Right?
Kera started to have second thoughts. Maybe he is right. If I don't take this chance now I may never be able to see the galaxies. And nothing will happen if my father never finds out.
Kera removed her hand from Thetas and instead placed it on top. "I have one question. If I go with you, Will it be safe?"
Theta was frozen for a moment but then smirked. "Well that depends. Do you trust me?"
Kera intertwined her hand with his knowing what her answer was going to be. "Always."
Theta laughed and pulled lever next to him and they both went tumbling to the floor. Kera could hear the weezing of the TARDIS departing and smiled.
Just then Kera realized something. "Wait. Do you know how to fly this right?"
Theta held onto a railing for support. "Ehhh…Kind of?"
Kera was livid as she grabbed onto that same railing. "What do you mean kind of?!"
Theta didnt get to reply because with one last shake the TARDIS stopped moving.
Kera stood up and fixed her hair. "Where are we?"
Theta also stood up and moved towards the door. "Go see."
Kera excitly walked over to the doors but then realized something.
"Ah! I'm still in my nightgown. I can't visit another planet looking like this."
Theta just laughed and pointed up. "There is a changing room upstairs. Good thing to because I don't want to be seen with someone wearing that."
Kera just stuck her tongue at him and walked up the stairs. She found a small room and walked into it. Sitting on a hanger was only one dress. It was deep v- neck dress that was a little above the ankle with white and black flowers on the skirt.
Kera quickly slipped it on and walked down stairs. Theta was wearing a black tux with a bow tie.
He turned around at the sound of my heels and gasped.
She walked over to meet him. "Kera, you look beautiful."
Kera blushed at Theta's comment. "And you Theta look very handsome."
Theta grinned and put his arm out which Kera gracefully took. "So where are we?"
Theta grinned as he opened the doors of the TARDIS. "Kera, Or shall I say Star, Welcome to one of the greatest parties of all time. New York 1962."
Kera stepped outside of the TARDIS and gasped. Standing in front of her was a large mansion. with lights and decorations everywhere. There were old cars revealing sophisticated men and woman.
"This is unbelievable!"
Theta and Kera walked up to the large doors where a bouncer was blocking way.
Theta grabbed a piece of pyshic paper and showed it to the man. The man eyes went wide and quicky opened the doors for us. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I'm sorry about the wait. Have a wonderful time."
When Kera and Theta had passed the man Kera grinned. "Mr. Smith?"
Theata put his physic paper back in his pocket and chuckle. "Yeah. Well, I kinda like it, maybe i'll keep it."
Kera playful slapped him on the shoulder. "Don't you dare! Next are you going to start calling yourself John? John Smith? I would pretend not to know you."
Theta just laughed at Kera's comment. "Well we can't have that happen now can we?"
Hours later Kera's feet started to hurt from all of that dancing. She had never felt so free in her entire life. She wished everyday could be like this. Traveling, seeing the stars. At lest for tonight she could pretend that she wasn't a princess of Gallifrey, she was just Star. No one here called her Princess or bowed. Everyone just waved and smiled. It was wonderful.
Kera turned and saw Theta or The Doctor walking towards her.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her off the dance floor."Hey, I found something I want to show you."
Theta walked up to two large windows that he pushed open.
Kera walked into the space and was speechless. In front of her was a small covered porch filled with lights and flowers overlooking a large garden.
She suddenly heard faint music in the background has Theta put out his hand. "Miss Star. May I have this dance?"
Kera smiled as she let him lead her to the floor. "Of course, Doctor."
They wrapped there arms around each other and swayed to the music. They both wished that this moment would last forever.
Theta moved a piece of hair from her face and smiled. "You know Star, I think I love…."
Suddenly a bunch of fireworks were released into the sky.
Kera and Theta watched the show and Kera turned back to Theta. Did he say what she thought he said?
They both stared at each other for ages until Theta moved in closer. Kera responded by closing her eye and leaning into Theta. There lips connected and both of there hearts were beating fast.
A few people behind them oohed and ahhed about the young couples kiss.
In that moment everything was perfect.
Kera and Theta pulled back and smiled as Kera placed her head on his chest.
The fireworks ended and Kera lifted her head up. "Umm I should probably get back."
Theta reluctantly nodded his head and led them back to the TARDIS. Truth was both of them didn't want to leave.
Theta pushed another level and both of them fell to the floor.
When the noises had stopped Theta helped Kera up and walked her to the door. "Goodnight Kera."
Kera smiled and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "You to Theta."
She took one last look at him before she opened the door and walked out of the building.
Kera walked back to her dorm's in silence. She knew that she couldn't pick a suitor now.
She had fallen for Theta.
She wondered how she was going to tell her parents about him.
She knew one thing. They would never approve.
But Kera didn't really care. As long they didn't know life would be ok.
She started climbing up her window and smiled remember the nights events. She quietly climbed out of the window into her room and sighed.
She made it.
She went to grab her gold brush when she heard someone clear their throat
. Kera was frozen was she heard a very familiar voice say. "Princess Kera. Where have you been all night?"
She turned around and saw her father looking at her with disapproving eyes.
Oh no.
-
Theta walked back to his dorms grinning like a fool.
He was actually really surprised to find out Kera liked him bakc.
She was a princess and all. And he was just a commoner.
Theta turned a corner when he walked into someone.
Theta looked up and smiled. "Hey! Koschei. How are you?!"
Koschei scoffed at Theta. "It's the Master now."
Theta ignored Koschei's comment. "Yeah, ok. So, how have you been?"
But Koschei's face didn't lighten up.
He just grabbed Theta by the arm and said. "We need to talk."
