Chapter 14
Singing And Looking For Her Home
By: Izzy
The Doctor sat in the library reading, 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry. Rhee had told him it was one of her favorite stories. And he could see why, even though it was a children's book it was good. He was hook, because in a strange way he understood the main character. Being born different than society wanted you to be. So they demanded that take a responsibility that you don't want. So you run from it. That is what he had done. He sighed loudly, lying the book on his lap. He then heard soft footsteps, he turned to see Rhee coming in to the library. The look on her face scared him, she looked half dead and like she'd been crying. "What's wrong, Love?" he asked as he jumped over the sofa and ran to her side. He hugged her and she held on for dear life and she shook.
"I had a nightmare," she sobbed.
"What do you need from me?" he asked truly concerned for her.
"Hold me," she pleaded as her body was raked with sobs.
"If you want to talk about it I might be able to help you with it," he said. Her whole body trembled as she cried harder and tightened her grip to the point her knuckles were white. This concerned him, what could cause the woman that could stare down a Dalek and heal people to be so upset? "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I'm not trying to push you."
"I know," she said as she sniffed. Her head was buried in his chest and she wouldn't let him move and inch. It must have been bad. He held her tighter as well.
'I don't know what words I can say. The wind has a way to talk to me.
Flowers sleep, a silent lullaby, I pray for reply.
I'm ready. Quiet day calms me oh, serenity.
Someone please tell me. Oh, mm, what is it they say?
Maybe I will know one day. I don't know what words I can say.
The wind has a way to talk to me. Flowers sleep, a silent lullaby.'
She sang into his chest but he heard every word of it. It was a sad song but somehow it made her stop crying. "That was beautiful," he said. She loosen her grip on him and looked up at him.
"I can't take credit for it," she said. "It's from an old anime I used to watch." She sighed. "It's called Milfina's song. She's an android, that thought she was human. But she falls in love. She sang the song because she was confused about herself. I sing it when I'm upset. I didn't work last time I tried it, which led to the drunken depression episode. But I thought maybe if I combined two things that help calm me down I might work." He nodded.
"So better?" he asked, she nodded and softly smiled at him.
"It was about feeling unwanted," she said. He looked at her confused. "My nightmare. Things were said that didn't make me feel wanted."
"Oh, Rhee," he said softly with love. "I will always want you." She smiled softly. "Let's sit down you're still shaking." He helped her to the sofa. She sat down and he picked up the book he had dropped on floor when he ran to her.
"So you're reading it," she smiled. "I didn't think you would."
"I wanted to know what you liked about it so much," he said. "I get it." He sat the book on an end table and then sat down beside her pulling her so she could lay against him.
"Thank you," she said as she relaxed against him.
"What for?" he asked.
"Being here for me," she said. "Loving me, wanting me, forgiving me, holding me, and all the other things I can't think of to say thank you for." He beamed at her but she couldn't see.
"Then I, thank you," he said.
"What for?" she asked.
"For being just what I need when I need it," he said as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his lap. She squeaked, and he laughed at it. "So cute." She blushed.
"If you really wanna here me squeak then tickle me," she said then her eyes widened. "That was not an invitation to tickle me." He laughed, and she smiled. "I love your laugh."
"Why thank you," he said. "I love you."
"I love you too," she said right before he captured her lips with his. The kiss was soft and loving. It sent chills down his spine, he could taste her so much better in this body then his last. She tasted of bananas and chocolate. He wondered if that's how she always tasted. This body was so much more sensitive, he could feel a heat growing where a heat shouldn't be. He broke the kiss.
"Blimey," he said.
"You can say that again," she said. She had kissed his last body many times but this body made her feel so much hotter. She was glad he broke the kiss she didn't want to rush sex. Even though her body was ready, beyond ready. She wanted to wait a bit longer. No regrets. "That was," She paused trying to find the right word. Then she found it, his word. "Fantastic."
"Couldn't agree more," he smiled at her. He knew he was going to have to fix his growing problem but he didn't want to leave her there on her own. "Will you be OK if I go shower?"
"As long as your right back," she said as she slid off him and back to the other side of the sofa.
"I promise," he said as he leaned over and gave her a quick peck on the lips. She visibly shivered.
"Come to think of it I need something from my room," she said as she got up with him. They walked together in silence.
They reached his room first, he disappeared into it. She went to her room and removed her black night gown, she wore nothing underneath. She sat on the couch, and started to play with her nipples imagining it was him not her. She moaned and with her right hand she reached down to her core. She started to rub it, she moaned and squirmed under her touch. It had been so long since she had anyone touching her even herself. She usually just took a shower or made herself depressed. This time she didn't want to leave it be. She rubbed, teased and moaned, all the while imagining it was him. She plunged her fingers deep inside herself, her breath got caught in her throat as she worked herself up. It didn't take long for her to come. As she came she shouted, "Doctor!" But she still wasn't satisfied. But she knew it would help he cope not satisfy her. She had to ignore it for now. She sighed.
Meanwhile the Doctor was in his room, he removed all his layers and jumped into the shower. He took hold of his shaft and pumped vigorously. He damned this sensitive body, if he couldn't get control of this he wouldn't be able to kiss her. He imagined her on her knees in the shower with him using her wonderful mouth on his hard shaft. He moaned at the thought of her beneath him. He was glad his room was soundproof. He then heard faint moaning that didn't come from him. She's masturbating too? The thought of her touching herself then rolled into his mind. He shallowed hard. His pass increased as her moaning increased. Then he heard her call his name as she came, which was enough to drive him to his own ending. He shouted "Rhiannon!" as he came. He panted even with bypass respiratory system somethings still winded him like sex or in this case heavy masturbation.
He wondered if they were both masturbating to the thought of each other why don't they take the next step? He was going to have to ask her to marry him. But could he just marry her in the human sense or would he want her in the Gallifreyan sense too? Would she even want to marry him in the traditions of his home planet? And what about her family would she want him to break down the wall of the universe just to let her family see her get married? But they had seen it twice. That's right she had been married twice before. He sighed as all this thoughts burned into his brain as worry. He finished his shower, and dressed in a new suit, this one was blue pinstripe instead of the brown one he normally wore.
He walked out of his room and she ran right into him. She didn't fall but she looked at him in shock. Had he done something wrong? He wondered. "Rhee?" he asked. His only reply was incoherent babbling. "What's wrong?" He was starting to get concerned.
"Nothing," she said breathlessly. "Just you're," She paused not in thought but in awe. "So hot!" He laughed, so she likes this suit. He had to remember that. "Well I'm awake now." She blushed and left toward the kitchen. He smiled whole heartedly, following her to the kitchen.
"Are you going to cook something?" he asked still smiling.
"Yeah," she said. "Since I'm up I figured why not?" She didn't even look at him while she spoke to him. "Banana pancakes?"
"Those sound fantastic!" he said. "Call me when they're done. I'll be in the console room." He continued to smile even down the hall. He got to the console room and looked at the console. He wasn't even in the mood to tinker with the TARDIS. All he wanted to do was be at her side. That is when he made up his mind. He would ask her to marry him. He just had to choose when carefully, he already knew of a few dates that were taboo. March 25th, March 26th, and July 4th. He shuddered at the memory of July 4th, she locked herself up in her room and when she realized it was July 4th. She later explained that it was her daughter's birthday.
He had to choose a day that wouldn't cause her any pain. To her it was still July. He knew July wouldn't work. Maybe August or November? He ran his fingers through his hair, this was tough. Also wondered if she would want a ring. Humans did rings and marriage vows. But wait she was Wiccan what do they do for marriage again? Hand-fasting, that's right. But that was all based on the coven's approval. Wait was she in a coven back in her dimension? She had never said. She never talked about home much. Only the pain.
"All done," she said surprising him. He jumped and turned around to see her. His confusion left him again. He had to make this work. Hand-fasting or Gallifreyan it didn't matter to him. Hell if she wanted both he'd do it. He nodded finally and she led him back to the kitchen. They sat at the table and his confusion returned so he thought it wasn't a bad breakfast topic.
"Um," he started and she looked up at him and smiled. "Were you part of a coven?"
"Wow," she said. "That was random." She laughed, laughing was good right? He hoped. "No, I disagreed with a lot of coven goers."
"Ahh," he said with a small almost inaudible sigh of relief. "So no one to pass judgment." He most said that last part to himself.
"You're super nervous," she stated. "Pass judgment? Well if anyone would 'pass judgment' on you would be my parents, friends, and Matt's family."
"Matt's family?" he asked more nervous than before. "You still talk to them?"
"When I was in my universe yeah," she responded. "His grandparents love me to death, and his mom well she is just his mom. I love her don't get me wrong but she has always been a bit overbearing." He understood overbearing, hell the Time Lords invented overbearing. "But my Mum would love you to pieces." She smiled. "And my dad, well he wouldn't care so long as it didn't effect his life much." Anger swelled inside him, how could a father not love their child. He had love all his child and grandchildren but not all of them loved him in return. He was a rebel and they were Time Lords through and through. "My sister might give you hell about it, but not too much. Her husband would be the one that would be hard to impress. Then there's Toddles, my best human male friend. I hope you're not jealous cause I have a lot male friends and some of them aren't the most appropriate."
"Well I can't promise that," he said. "But I will try not to be jealous."
"Well I showed you most of my friends in the book," she said an he nodded. "Toddles, Bry, Aaron, Andrew, and Chuck."
"Yes," he said. "You also said Todd is like your brother, Bry is not interested in you either, Aaron is married and Andrew and Chuck are a couple."
"You remembered!" she exclaimed. While they talked they had eaten most of the food she had prepared.
"Of course," he said with a smile. He would always remember every word spoke. "So if we happen to meet them, what could I do to impress them as your man?"
"Well," she started. "Most of them, just keep me happy." She took another bite. "And like I said my sister might give you hell about being with me but don't worry that how she says she likes someone." She started to laugh, he gave her a puzzled look. "If we go there you'll see how much she loves me 'cause she'll punch me in the face."
"Punch you in the face?" he said in horror.
"Yeah," she said. "She's probably freaking out, hell she probably called the Air Force to find me." He felt a stab as he remembered how she said she ended up on Platform One. She didn't get to say goodbye. He had to find a way for her to choose between worlds or say goodbye at the very least. Though he didn't know how he was going to be able to take watching her get punched in the face. He rather liked her face. "But that is wishful thinking. No way home." She didn't say it sadly just like she had accepted it a long time ago.
"Thank you the food was brilliant," he said honestly. "I'm going to do some repairs to the TARDIS." No, he was going to search for a crack in Time and Space to get them to her universe so she could at least say goodbye. "You look like you need more sleep."
"Yeah," she said, then she remembered watch had promised. "When I wake up again I want to sing to you those candidates, for our perfect song." He nodded.
"Rest well, Love." he said with a smile.
"I'll try Doctor," she said.
She slept seven hours waking up feeling refreshed. She decided to dress in a t-shirt and skinny jeans. She stretched and walked into the console room. She found him staring intensely at the monitor as if he were looking for something he couldn't find. Then her heart stopped as she realized not only was he still in that sexy blue suit still, he was wearing the glasses. She had to remind herself to breath. He turned to see her, he smiled widely and if she wasn't already hot and bothered by him after that smile she was done in. He was just so sexy and she couldn't understand how it was legal on any world for one man to be that sexy. "Rhee," he said her name and she about died right then. She was experiencing Sexy Doctor overload. "Are you alright? You look a little flushed."
"F-f-f-fine." she stammered over her word, then damned the skinny jeans she had put on. She wanted to tease him with them but now that she was hot and bothered it was too tight for her. She breathed deep. "I-i-if you still want me to sing I'll go change and meet you in the room." She couldn't even think of what it was called. He flashed her that smile again so she turned around and headed back to her room. She shallowed hard, he was going to drive her insane, she knew it. He was going to make her completely bat shit insane with how hot he is. Two years without sex for a human of any gender is a long time, but she hadn't done anything since her husband and she didn't want to break that just yet. But damn it all if the Doctor wasn't making this harder than it had to be. She sighed and moved to her room to see a dress lying out for her.
Meanwhile at the stage he made for her, he waited for her. He thought she was fine in what she had on but she seemed uncomfortable in what she had on. Or was it him in his blue suit that had caused her to be flushed. He heard the soft clank of high heels. Wait, high heels? He looked up and saw her on the stage in a long TARDIS blue Celtic dress. His hearts stopped beating and his respiratory bypass system kicked in reminding him to breath. She was glowing in the light from the stage and that dress. Why did she look so good in TARDIS blue? He had always wondered that but in that dress it just seemed right. And the necklace he gave her, it made his hearts just melt at the sight of the beauty before him.
"OK," she said. "The first one I have is called 'A thousand years.'" She started to sing it and he loved the way it sounded. But he didn't feel it fit both of them. How he felt about her yes but not her. She couldn't live that long, and she had a husband before now. She finished singing it and smiled. "So?"
"Brilliant but next," he said, she nodded.
"'Gotta be somebody'" she said then began to sing. He knew this means a lot to her so he would give her his honest opinion. She finished singing and looked to him.
"Sorry not feeling it," he said. She nodded.
"'I don't wanna miss a thing'" she said then started singing. He felt this song was closer to how both felt but it didn't feel right. She finished singing and looked to him. He shook his head. She nodded. "'Home'" As she started to sing he felt it. This was it.
Hold on, to me as we go

Aaa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa. Aa-aa-aa-aaaaaa
"That's it!" he exclaimed. "It's perfect for us." He was so happy he ran up on to the stage and hugged her. He picked her up and spun her around as they laughed. He sat her down and couldn't help himself he kissed her firmly on the lips and her hands went straight to his hair as they kissed. There it was again the taste of bananas and chocolate, this time there was another taste that he couldn't quite make out. But the thought lost traction in his mind as she nibbled on his bottom lip. He couldn't help but moan. She broke the kiss and smiled slyly at him. She'd done it on purpose.
"I'm going to go and watch an anime," she said with a smile. She quickly gave him a peck on the lips then walked back to her room. He was left wanting her more. He had to hurry and find that crack.
Over the course of the next couple months they didn't have much contact. He was busy looking for the crack in time and space, while she watched anime. She didn't come out of her room aside from to cook and eat. He found it odd that she wasn't in the console room once in a while, at first he chopped it up to being that she was avoiding having to masturbate again. He shook his head before he thought about her masturbating. He had been fighting his own thoughts. Then he heard what sounded like a music box. There was no music box on the TARDIS, as far as he knew.
He followed the sound to the garden. Then he heard her singing again. It was a intense song, that he had never heard before. It was sad and beautiful. He walked up to her, she had her eyes closed as she sang. The music was being played by the TARDIS, it was dubstep, which only became popular during her time. She looked so beautiful dressed in a green Celtic gown sitting under an apple tree, singing. She finished the song and opened her eyes to see him. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said.
"No need to apologize," he said with a smile. "What was that song called?"
"'Shatter Me'," she replied. "It's by Lindsey Stirling and Lizzy Hale. Neither are popular in this universe."
"Lindsey Stirling?" he asked.
"Yeah," she said. "In my universe she is got voted off America's Got Talent, but went on YouTube and posted her video. She became and Internet sensation rather quickly. She is an amazing violinist. And Lizzy Hale is lead singer of a band called Halestorm."
"Brilliant," he said as he watched her eyes light up as she spoke of this two girls. She admired them for their abilities.
"I haven't been avoiding you," she said. He looked at her puzzled. "I haven't been feeling well since New Earth. And I know I can be grumpy when I don't feel good."
"What do you mean you don't feel good?" he asked concerned.
"Well I just feel off not myself," she said. "It's hard to describe to you." She thought for a minute. "I have been feeling sluggish and run down. I don't hurt anywhere." He nodded.
"I still want to do a full work up on you for this," he said. She nodded and he led her to the Med Bay. She sat on the bed, and he quickly got to work running test. As he finished his last test his face twisted in a mix of worry and fear.
"I don't like that look," she said, as she looked at him with just as much worry.
"Your body is trying to fight off and unknown infection," he said as he ran his hand through his hair in frustration.
"Unknown to you or to my body," she asked.
"Both," he said sadly. "Your body doesn't know what to do with the infection so it's overcompensating." He sighed feeling helpless, because just like her body he didn't know what to do either.
"If it's an infection don't doctors usually use antibiotics?" she asked.
"Yes but I don't know if this infection is immune to any of them or not." he said pulling on his ear. She smiled at his nervous ticks.
"Well you could do a broad spectrum of antibiotics," she suggested. "I'm allergic to the Penicillin family." He smiled at her.
"How would you get that idea?" he asked as he got the antibiotics ready.
"Well, as you probably know this isn't the first time I've been sick," she said. "Once I tried to climb a tree and one of my former friends, which is a story I don't want to get into, caught my attention. And when I went to look where I was going again I cut my eye on a piece of bark." He winced at that thought.
"It didn't scar," he said. As he laid her back to start the IV.
"No," she said. "Thankfully. It hurt like an S.O.B though. But it infected so they had to do a broad spectrum set of antibiotics." Once he had the IV in he gave her the antibiotics.
"These will probably make you sleepy," he said.
"Sleepier you mean," she giggled a little at the face he made because of her comment.
"Yeah," she said giving her a quick peck on the lips. "Rest well, Love. I'll be in the console room." He moved to leave but turned back. "Next time, busy or not let me know how you feel." She nodded sleepily. He left the room and walked to the console room just as he said he would. He sat in the jump seat and sighed. Why hadn't she told him she wasn't feeling well? Then he thought back to the last time they had spent more than dinner together. He realized it was his own fault, he was distant trying to find a crack for her he had neglected her. He had to fix that. He would take her somewhere. Barcelona, the planet with dog with no noses. Just as he promised he would, plus Barcelona was known for great music. She loves music. He set the coordinates, to Barcelona, but didn't land yet. He would wait until she was better.
An hour later, he went to check on her, she was sleeping. To him she looked like an angel. He smiled lovingly at her. He walked fully into the Med Bay to run more tests to see if the antibiotics were doing their job. They were and that made him smile, the infection was being killed. He sighed in relief. He took out the IV and picked her up. He had planned on taking her to her room but the TARDIS had other plans. He couldn't find her room, he kept running into his room. He got the hint, he needed to rest and he slept best with her at his side. He sighed in defeat. He opened his door and laid her down in his bed covering her with his comforter. He slipped off his suit jacket, shoes and tie, so he could lay in the bed beside her.
Rhee was first to wake up, when she opened her eyes the first thing she saw was the Doctor. That made her smile. She felt compelled to touch him, so she did she drag her hand from his forehead to his chin. In his sleep he moved into her touch, that made her smile. Oh, how she loved his man. She wanted to freeze this moment and keep it forever. Waking up next to him, it was an amazing feeling. The last time she had woke up beside him she was so concerned with her own pain, to just enjoy the feeling of waking up next to someone she loves again. She was about to roll over to see what time it was but she realize she knew it was 4:34:21pm. That was weird. How could she know down to the second what time it was. She was always aware of the time but never to the second. And how did she know without a watch. She shallowed hard as she sat up. What is going on with her?
He felt her panic, and it woke him. "What's wrong, Love?" he asked as he sat up and put his hand on her shoulder.
"I know the time," she said, breathlessly.
"What do you mean you know the time?" he asked quite confused at this point.
"It's 4:35:10pm," she said. "I slept for 6 hours, 21 minutes, and 32 seconds. How do I know that?" Her voice getting more broken and concerned as she spoke. He moved to face her and took her head in his hands gently. He turned her head so she was facing him.
"Do you trust me?" he asked.
"With my life," she said without hesitation.
"I'm going to enter your mind to see if I can figure out what's going on," he said as she moved so they were facing each other. She nodded. "If there is anything you don't want me to see put a door in front of it." She nodded again. He entered her mind and the feeling was almost overwhelming. Her love for him and for her lost family was thick in her mind. He was shocked to see that her mind was mostly open, only two doors. But he tried to focus on the reason he was here not her memories. He poked around and found something he never expected. A glowing entity.
Who are you? He asked the entity inside Rhee's mind.
Oh, my Thief. The entity had a female voice. You have known me a very long time.
I have? He asked. I think I would remember you.
Well you've never seen me like this. She said. I will give you a hint but no more. When you first stepped inside me you said I was the most beautiful thing you had ever known.
You're the TARDIS? He said in shock and awe. But why are you in Rhee's head. You'll burn her up if you stay here!
Don't worry my Thief. She said softly. My Dragon is safe. Her psychic powers are strengthening and expanding. Her time sense is being pulled from you, it's not dangerous, but you will have to help her control her expanding psychic power so she doesn't read the wrong mind by mistake.
What do you mean pulled from me? He asked.
She doesn't know she's doing it but when she touched you this morning she touched your mind without trying. She said. In touching your mind she accessed your time sense once again without trying. She didn't know how to control either so it scared her. It won't last long.
So I have to help her control this. He said more to himself then to the TARDIS.
Yes, by the way Rhee nicknamed me Jess. She said.
Why Jess? He asked.
That's her sister's name. She said. She thinks of me as a sister, and I love her like a sister as well. I would never do anything to hurt her.
Why are you telling me this? He asked. Are you the reason her psychic power is expanding?
Yes, Now far thee well my Thief. She said as she faded. She's rubbing off on me. He was left there with more questions than answers. But at least he could now explain what happened this morning to Rhee. He didn't mean to linger in her mind for as long as he had but soon he was enveloped by one of her memories.
The memory was when she was little, a cute little kid that were a pair overalls and power ranger t-shirt. She was so obviously Rhee just a bit more of a tomboy. She was standing outside alone crying in the middle of a very large fenced in yard. He could feel that little Rhee felt trapped and unwanted. Just then a woman came for the nearby house and pulled little Rhee into a hug. "My little girl," the older woman cooed. "What's the matter?"
"Daddy doesn't want me," Rhee cried. "He said I'm a useless annoying child."
"You are a lot of things but useless is not one of them," her mother said. "Annoying sometimes but so is he." They laughed. "My point is I love you. I know he does too in his own twisted way."
"No I can feel only anger from him," Rhee said.
"What do you mean 'feel'?" her mother asked.
"I mean what I said," Rhee said. "I don't know how but I can feel emotions from everyone."
"From everyone?" her mother asked.
"Yes," Rhee said. "Right now your worried about me, and you are fearful of me. But under both those strong emotions I feel your love for me."
"You're empathic," her mother said. "Oh, I'm so sorry my little one. My Rhee J. You're life will be so hard because you will always know the truth of things. I can help you block it." Her mother sighed. "And I'm not fearful of you but for you." The memory ended and he pulled himself out because he realized he was crying.
"What's wrong, Love?" Rhee asked. "Once you were in my mind I couldn't see you inside my mind."
"I saw a memory of when you found out that you're empathic." he said sadly. He slid his hands from her temples down to her cheeks and cupped them.
"Ahh," she said sadly.
"Why didn't you tell me you could talk to the TARDIS?" he asked.
"Because she asked me not to," she said. "Plus you never asked. So did you find out what 'cause me to have time sense?"
"Yeah," he said with a small smile on his face. "Your psychic power has expanded so when you touched me you got some of my time sense."
"Will it happen every time we touch?" she asked.
"Only one way to find out," he said and she looked at him puzzled. "Touch me the same way, and tell me how you feel." He let go of her so she could touch him. She did as she had when they were still laying down, dragging her fingers from his forehead to his chin passing across his temples and that made him shiver.
"Wow," she said as she could feel all of time and space moving around her. She even saw his time line not details just the different paths that lay before him. She gasped as she looked at him. "Oh, Goddess. That is incredible. Is that how you see all the time?"
"What do you mean?" he asked as he hoped she would describe what she was feeling and seeing.
"I feel the universe turning around us," she said in awe. "Time passing us by, and I see your time lines. The choices that lay before you."
"Then yes," he said smiling. He was actually happy that he could share this with her.
"It's amazing," she said. "But it's fading."
"It will," he said. "I'm going to help you control this, so that way you don't go insane from taking my time sense every time we touch." She nodded.
He spent the next month training her to control her new psychic power. He felt that he couldn't teach her much more because she was more powerful than he was. But then again he had never been a very strong psychic. He had gotten it were ever time they touched she didn't get his time sense, but he felt it still took too much concentration for her. He even tried to block himself from her but she managed to go through ever mental block he put up. It worried him, he didn't want her to see his past it would upset her. So he put a bit of space in between them.
The space was bothering her. She felt that he was now afraid of her and she knew why. He didn't think she knew about his past. She had to get her psychic power under control so he would touch her again. She felt lonely and wanted him beside her but still didn't press her luck with him. She did a lot of 'grounding' trying to clear her mind and calm down. She failed at concentrating enough to find her 'center', she was too concerned for their relationship. What if she could never control her new power? Would he never hold her hand again? Would he never kiss her again? Because since they had discovered this new power of hers he hadn't even given her a peck on the check. She sighed in frustration.
"Love," he said as he entered her room without knocking. She had given him a free pass to her room when they started to train.
"Yes," she replied.
"Jewely wants to see us," he said.
"Do you think I'm OK to be around anyone?" she asked panic lacing her voice.
"Well didn't you tell me that Jewely was psychic as well?" he asked.
"Yes," she said.
"Maybe she can help where I can't," he said sounding slightly defeated. She nodded. He left to let her get dressed since she was still in her nightgown. She dressed in a pair of black mini shorts, Inuyasha t-shirt, and her converse. She sighed. She put on make-up even though she knew he would never even notice. She felt so alone, maybe what she needs is a friend. She finished her make-up and ran out to meet him in Jewely's throne room. When she got into the throne room she was greeted with a large Jewely hug.
"Rhee!" Jewely exclaimed. "I am so glad to see you." Jewely let go of Rhee. "You and me need to talk in private, follow me." As Rhee as drug passed the Doctor she gave him a puzzled look and he shrugged.
"It's nice to see you," Rhee said as she was drug to a fancy bedroom. "What'd ya wanna talk about?"
"Your psychic abilities," Jewely said. "You need training."
"The Doctor has been training me," Rhee said. "I have it mostly under wraps."
"Yes but it takes too much focus," Jewely said. Rhee nodded. "Have a seat." She sat down on her bed and gestured for her to sit as well. Rhee sat down beside Jewely and looked at her. They spent the next few hours training, Rhee's mind. Jewely went over everything The Doctor had taught her and enhanced what he taught her. Part of the reason her training with him wasn't going well was, he held back his mind from her because he wasn't ready to let her in that far yet. She could feel his hesitation when it came to their practice.
"Do you think I'm ready," Rhee asked as they completed the training.
"Go kiss your man." Jewely said. Rhee's eyes lit up as she ran out the door and back to the throne room. He was still there pacing the floor with a worried look on his face. She ran up to him which made him stop and turn to see her. She jumped into his arms, he barely caught her. She leaned down and kissed him with longing, passion and love.
She had taken him by surprise, jumping into his arms like that. Thankfully he was a Time Lord and had good reflexes. Then she kissed him, and oh what a kiss. This kiss blew his frankly magnificent mind, it was better than any other kiss they had shared. He didn't feel her trying to get into his mind. He smiled in the kiss. She pulled away but rested her forehead on his. "Blimey," he said.
"Yeah," she said smiling. "I can control it fully now." With that he couldn't help but kiss her again, but this kiss was much shorter.
"Well Queen Jewely," said a British male voice from behind them. Rhee's eyes went wide because she knew that voice, but it wasn't possible. That couldn't be the voice she heard. She broke the kiss again and jumped down from the Doctor's arms. She turned to see the Eleventh Doctor standing not but 6 feet from them. Her jaw dropped. "I have fixed it." He seemed to not see them.
"Do you know him, Love?" the Tenth Doctor whispered. She was having trouble breathing.
"Oh, many thanks upon Doctor," Jewely said bowing her head. It was Ten's turn for his eyes to go wide.
"You're me?" he said as he approached Eleven. Eleven looked to Ten in shock.
"How are you here?" Eleven said. "I've never been here before today." Then he noticed Rhee. "And were you kissing her when I came in?"
"I have known Jewely for months and yes," Ten said. "I'll have you know I quite enjoy kissing my woman."
"Your woman?" Eleven asked. "I don't know her!" That hurt Rhee more than it should've.
"I can help you with this," Jewely said. Both men turned to her. "This Doctor is from a different time line." She pointed to Eleven.
"But there is nothing strong enough to split a Time Lord's time line," Eleven said.
"I do not know how this happened but Rhee is a good friend of this kingdom," Jewely said. "This Doctor saved us from starvation not long ago."
"Who are you?" Eleven demanded in all his Oncoming storm glory.
"Rhiannon Jane Riwitis," Rhee said. "My friends call me Rhee. I'm no one special."
"Now that's not true," Ten said as he wrapped his arms around her protectively. Eleven wondered what made this younger version of himself so smitten. So he tried to look into her time lines and couldn't find any.
"How is that possible?" he asked more to himself than to anyone.
"That is what I asked myself when I met her," Ten said. "I can't sense her time line either." He hugged her tightly. "And now I don't think I want to." Because he knew she'd die before him and that idea scared him so he didn't want to think about it.
"Love?" Rhee asked looking up at him. "I want to talk to your future slash alternate time line self alone for a minute."
"OK," he said as let her go. "But if you need me you yell for me, I'll be there in a flash." Rhee moved closer to Eleven.
"Can we go outside and talk?" she asked him.
"My TARDIS is just in the other room and I need to check on Amy and Rory anyway," he said. He led her to his TARDIS. Once inside she saw Amy and Rory talking while leaning on the railing. "Amy, Rory, this is Rhee."
"It's a pleasure to meet you both," Rhee said with a bow.
"Hi, I'm Amy Pond," Amy said as she walked up to Rhee with a hand out to shake her hand. Rhee shook Amy's hand.
"I'm Rory Williams," Rory said once Amy let him get to Rhee. He shook her hand as well.
"Rhiannon Riwitis, but my friends call me Rhee," Rhee said.
"Ponds," Eleven said. Both Amy and Rory looked at Eleven. "I need to talk to her, alone."
"We were getting ready for bed anyway," Amy said obviously not happy with being shoved out when she just met someone knew. "Night, Raggedy Man."
"Goodnight, Doctor," Rory said as he followed Amy to their room.
"You wanted to talk so talk," Eleven said a bit rudely.
"Wow, and I thought you were rude as big ears and leather," she smiled at him.
"You've known that me," he said. "Since then?"
"Yes,"
"So Rose?"
"She's fine with Mickey and her mom."
"But I love Rose." His face was a twist of anger and sadness.
"I know," she sighed. "I tried to push the other you away, but that seemed to make you want me more. I was just as broken as you when we met."
"How!?" He was shocked that this strong woman before him could have at anytime been broken.
"My family died two and a half years ago. I wasn't over it. I was only living a half life." Those words struck him. A 'half life'. That could have also described him at that point too. "Rose is still in love with Mickey. She is like my sister. When the three of us were together I protected her."
"You protected Rose?"
"Yeah, like I said she is like my little sister." she laughed. "Except she is a lot less mouthy than my little sister. Goddess my little sister would give Jackie a run for her money in the most mouthy woman." They both laughed. As he spent time with her he felt her growing a place in his hearts. He could see how his other self loved her. She was special. "Oh, Hello." She waved at the ceiling.
"Waving at the TARDIS?"
"Yeah, can't enter the TARDIS without saying hi. She gets mad."
"You can hear her?"
"Yeah, she said to tell you hi again." Tears weld up in his eyes.
"How can you hear her?"
"Something to do with my expanded psychic power. He said my psychic capability is much higher than his. Which is why Jewely had to finish my training." He smiled at her. "Oh, um."
"Yes?"
"She said you should stop tinkering with her-" she paused for a minute. "I can't repeat that. It sounds too weird. I know you mean it as a joke but no!" She sighed.
"I think I know what she wanted you to tell me." He laughed at the blush that spread across her face.
"That's good 'cause I don't want to say what she said." She sighed again a little heavier this time. "I only wanted to talk with you a minute. Try to get you to understand us. I have to return to my Doctor now."
"I know," he sounded sad. "Can I?" He reached out to her gesturing to her head.
"Only if you don't open my doors." She gave him a teasing smile.
"I wouldn't dream of doing anything to make you uncomfortable." He was honest with that statement. He touched her temples and she felt him inside her mind. Unlike with her Doctor that morning. Maybe the TARDIS didn't want her following her Doctor. Eleven saw all the time she had spend with her Doctor and blushed. He moved away. "That's wonderful." He was in awe. Even though he was from a different time line than Rhee and her Doctor, Eleven knew that he would love her too. He smiled and still under some of the emotions from her memories he kissed her. She kissed him back, and hoped that her Doctor wouldn't be mad at her. Eleven broke the kiss. "Blimey!"
"I couldn't agree more." She gave him the smile she usually gives her Doctor. "Well, that was magnificent and I hope to repeat that at some point with him." She moved to the door but found herself pinned to the doors from behind. She gasped as he spun her around and he kissed her with a little bit of force. She could tell he was lonely and let him kiss her. She loved the Doctor no matter what form he took she would always love him. He broke the kiss again, but this time he backed away.
"I'm sorry." He tried to hide his face in shame.
"It's OK." She reached out and grabbed his hand before he could fully pull way. "I understand. You're lonely, and as you saw big ears kind of took me by surprise with our first kiss." She smiled at him again. "You've been so empty for so long that it is acceptable for you to go a little crazy when you can feel someone again." He gave her a surprised look that melted into a large smile.
"I really do see why he loves you." He relaxed. "You'd better go to him before he rips my TARDIS apart in search of you."
"Yes I agree." She gave him a peck on the lips then dashed out of the TARDIS and into her Doctor's arms where she kissed him with all the love she felt for him. He broke the kiss.
"Not to say that I don't love all this random running and jumping into my arms," he started. "But what happened?"
"I gave him a little bit of happiness," she replied. He looked puzzled at her. "Well, I showed him us." He smiled widely with great love. "Then he kissed me." He quickly put her down and started to march to where Eleven's TARDIS once was. She grabbed her Doctor's coat. "Wait, please." He turned around and looked at Rhee with murderous anger in his eyes, the look of the Oncoming Storm. "He needed it. He was lonely like you when we first met. He had lost his heart not to long ago." The anger drained from his face. He knew that feeling and Rhee was the only thing that saved him from himself. He pulled her back up into his arms and held her. She rubbed small circles in his back trying to help him calm down.
"I knew he was lonely but I couldn't help feeling jealous," he said. "Your my woman." He held her tightly.
"Yes," she said. "Which is why I'm back here with you."
"Where you belong." he said. Her phone started to play 'Every Rose has it's Thorns' by Guns and Roses. "I didn't know you liked Guns and Roses." She smiled and gave him a small laugh as she moved away so she could answer her phone.
"Hello, Rose," she said as she answered the phone.
"Rhee!" Rose exclaimed. "There is some weird stuff going on at the school nearby. We could use you and the Doctor back here."
"I will let the Doc-" she started but then the phone was taken away from her by said man.
"We'll be there in a couple hours for the details," he said. "See you then."
"See you!" Rose said.
"Back to Earth then?" Rhee said as he handed the phone back.
"Most definitely," he said. "Plus it has been awhile since we were with Rose."
"I do miss her," she said.
"Well there you have it!" he said smiling at her as they walked out and back to his TARDIS.
