I do not own Maximum Ride OR Doctor Who, however, I do own characters of my own creation. Also, The Flock Do not know they have wings sticking out of their backs because they got blended into the back of their skin. Enjoy Episode Two.

Maximum Ride: The Time Lord

Episode 02: Missing

Arizona, America. 4pm.

"Mum, I'm back!" I called as I entered the house.

"Hi, Max," Mum shouted. "Why don't you play something with Ella?"

"I'm sorry, I've got a three-page essay to do on World War One by Thursday," I replied, running upstairs. Normally, I save my homework until the last minute, or don't do it at all and say that I left it at home. But, my teacher said anyone who hasn't brought the homework in on time gets an after school, and mum would kill me if she found out, so I sat on my seat by the table in my room, took out my pen, and got to work.

I had written one page when I started to feel sleepy, so I let the pen fall down, and I flopped back onto my bed, asleep.

'Run! Come on! You can do this!' I thought to myself, running through the woods. This was a dream, a dream I have every night since a month ago. I was being scratched by brambles and trampling on stinging nettles, but as long as I put a big distance between – what was I trying to run away from? I couldn't remember. My memory was all blank. I stopped at turned around, and the last thing I saw before I woke up was a gigantic Wolf snarling at me, leaping onto me.

"Max!" I opened my eyes. "Tea's ready! It's fries and fish."

I forgot about my dream, but sweat was still dropping down my face. I ran downstairs.

The TARDIS, Somewhere in Space

The Doctor paced around the TARDIS, ramming his fingers on some of the buttons. He had enlisted as a teacher for Max's local school, to watch over her, and to make her remember when the time was right. Yet – he had to take a break from his teaching. The Now Found Lost Moon of Poosh was under attack from some unknown force.

Arizona, America 5pm

As I wolfed down the last of my fries, my mum spoke, "I have bad news to inform you all. That new child at school, the youngest one, Ariel's gone missing."

"Couldn't she just have been late back?" asked Ella. "She sat behind me on the bus on the way back, and she's quite friendly. As all are those new kids."

"No," replied mum. "It's been confirmed by your father, she's been kidnapped."

"Is dad coming home tomorrow?" asked Ella excitedly. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Jeb never comes home. He's always at work, somewhere in California.

"No," Mum replied. "He says he's coming home Saturday, though."

"Great. We haven't since him since Christmas," I put in. The fact is, that was from where I could remember. I couldn't remember a thing that happened before Christmas.

I finished my Fish, and got up from the table. "I don't want any desert, thanks mum."

"Okay, Max," Mum said kindly, taking away the dishes. I remember that Ariel looked familiar, as did Nick, Jeff, Tiffany-Crystal, Zephyr and that dog that had tried to get on the bus this morning. Ella said his name was Total. Total. I remember that name. I suddenly noticed an old fob watch sitting on the kitchen table. I picked it up, and asked Mum.

"Mum, what's this?" I asked.

'It's an old fob watch. It's broken," she said.

"Why don't you just throw it away?" I asked.

"I like the patterns," my mum said.

I turned, and headed towards the door. I was going to get some fresh air.

Okay, A chapter before I go on Holiday. I'll back by Friday, and should have an update for you on Saturday Or Sunday. If you're reading this note any time after I've posted Chapter 3, disregard this.
