This chapter is dedicated to itsthetruth, because through out the messages we sent back and forth, she waited so patiently for this next chapter! Thank you :D
The next morning I woke up, and I did NOT want to get out of bed. I silently stayed tucked in bed, replaying the events of yesterday in my mind. There was no point of trying to talk to Jack now, he hated me. Finally, I got up, shoved my feet in my slippers, and I trudged up to the console room. There I found the Doctor, laying on a new couch he must of put in while I was gone.
On a side table, there were two cups of hot chocolate. He patted the space next to him, "Come here." I plopped down next to him, my head laying in his lap, he brushed a piece of my hair out of my face, "How'd you sleep?"
I ignored the question, "I should of listened to you all that time ago. He did break my heart."
The Doctor sighed, "Leah, It's not your fault. It's all mine, I should of sensed the TARDIS was acting up. If I knew, she would of gotten you back at the right time."
I looked up at him, "No. This isn't your fault. It's all his." I said bitterly, "I'm stronger than this. Jack should of understood! He's a time traveler. I don't want anything to do with that bloody man now."
He stared blankly at me, "You sure you're ok?"
I sighed, "I might as well pretend to be." I jumped up off the couch, "You and I both need to get out of our pajamas. We're going on a trip." I decided.
He laughed, "That's the spirit!" We both retired to our rooms, and slipped into something more appropriate for traveling. The Doctor was faster than I was, so by the time I got up to the console room, he was already busy at work, pushing buttons, and pulling levers on the console.
"Where are we off to?" I asked.
"One of the best places for paradise! Apalapucia!" He bubbled. The TARDIS roared with excitement, as we rushed off to the amazing planet. The roaring stopped, and we had arrived. The Doctor ran for the TARDIS doors, and flung them wide open. He took in a deep breath of the fresh air, and started choking.
"DOCTOR!" I yelled. I ran and dragged him in the TARDIS, quickly shutting the TARDIS doors, careful not to breath in any of the toxic air. The Doctor continued choking, as I tried to help. After a minute of trying the heimlich maneuver, I realized I couldn't stop the choking.
He choked out the words, "Step...back." And I didn't try to argue, because I knew what was about to happen. The Doctor slowly stood up, and his head threw back. His arms spread out wide, and fire was shooting out of him. I put my arm over my eyes, the light was blinding!
After a moment, I lowered my arm, and I peeked open through one eye. There he was, standing right where my old Doctor had been, the handsome, dark brown floppy haired, new Doctor.
I stepped towards him, "Doctor?"
He smiled, and stumbled forward, "Woa! New legs, that's odd. My voice! Am I, no! I can't be! Am I a girl?"
I laughed, "You are certainly not a girl."
"This is so weird. New teeth, oh I'll have to get used to that. These clothes are so tight fitting." He shifted uncomfortably.
"Let's get you something new to wear then. Whole new Doctor!"
On the way down to the enormous closet he mentioned, "I loved my old coat though. Shame giving this thing up!" He moaned.
"Oh I'm sure you'll find something new that you'll like."
He walked in the closet and shut the door. I could hear him arguing with himself through the door, and I couldn't help but laugh. This was going to be a complicated Doctor, I could tell. He seemed filled with so much more emotion.
Eventually, he came bursting out of the room, "How do I look?" He spun in a circle.
"Simply dashing! Though, I think you would look better with a bow tie." I mentioned.
"Oh a bow tie! Never would of thought of that." He ran back into the closet, and came out wearing a bright red bow tie.
"There we go! You look perfect now."
He straightened his bow tie, "Well of course I do. Bow ties. Are. Cool." He insisted.
"Right. Now, are we going to stand around the TARDIS all day or are we going to go on an adventure?" I asked.
"Oh Parks, I can't resist an adventure, you of all people should know that!" He stopped, and sniffed the air, "Do you smell something burning?"
I smelled around me, "Yeah, I do. What is it?" At the same exact time, a light bulb went off in both of our heads.
"THE TARDIS IS ON FIRE!" We both yelled, and ran up to the console room.
"Oh damn it all! My regeneration must of, well, lit the TARDIS on fire." He panicked.
"Well we need to try and land her!" I shouted. We both dove for the controls, pressing things everywhere like mad men. The TARDIS shook like mad, and we Doctor fell over. Then the TARDIS flipped over, and the Doctor fell right through the front doors. I tried to run over to him, but I couldn't move, due to the shaking. When the shaking stopped, I ran to the front doors.
I saw the Doctor hanging on my a hand, his face a mix of pure enjoyment and fear, "You seriously cannot be enjoying this!" I yelled.
He laughed, "Well. Not honestly! Pull me up!" I pulled him back into the TARDIS, and he soniced the doors shut. Or should I say, he TRIED to sonic the doors shut. His sonic exploded in his hands, "Not my sonic screwdriver! I love my sonic screwdriver!"
"You can make a new one, first we need to land this thing!" I told him as we went back to flying the TARDIS. It was no use though, because the engines were failing. The Doctor and I plummeted to Earth in the TARDIS.
