Chapter 2: Spoiled Again
The Doctor and I trucked down the street at top speed to get to the sewer on time.
"How long have we got?" I asked, turning my head to the Doctor who was right next to me.
"I'd say...about...five minutes?" He replied, eager to get to the sewer.
"Five minutes?" I asked, shocked.
"Yep." The Doctor popped his "p".
I skid around a corner and ran to the site where the drain was, the Doctor following me closely behind.
He pulled the drain open and helped me down.
After we had stepped firmy onto the cold, wet floor, the Doctor gave me something. A bracelet of some kind.
"This bracelet will ensure that the migraines stay tucked away. The bracelet forms a sort of...barrier between your mind and the perception memories." He explained, staring coldly into my eyes.
I nodded, slipping the bracelet on.
The memories I had of Oliv and I playing and running through everlasting fields were suddenly wiped from my mind. As if they never existed. Wait. They never did.
The Doctor pat my shoulder. "You alright?"
"Yeah. I can't remember any of the things I thought Oliv and I did as children. As if they never existed." I sniffled silently.
"Because they never did." The Doctor looked affectionately into my eyes, his brown eyes glowing with excitement.
"Right! So, what are we going to do? How are we going to locate the engines?" I asked, twirling around to get a good look.
The Doctor pulled out his silver stick. The Sonic Screwdriver I think it's called.
He began revolving in place with the sonic lit up.
"The sonic can locate the engine feed." He explained, glancing at me.
The sonic buzzed unusually as the Doctor was pointing south.
"This way." He gripped my hand and ran for the door, using the sonic to burst the lock.
"How much longer to we have?" I asked as we ran.
"Two minutes in the least!" He replied, quite loudly.
We stopped dead in a large room. Pipes entering and exiting the walls gave the room a rather gloomy glare.
I put my hand over my mouth.
"Ugh. What is that smell?" I gagged.
"It's the rubber inside me machine burning." The Doctor replied, walking up to a great, big engine thingy that sat in the middle of the room.
He scanned the area with the sonic.
"Aah! There is no off lever or whatever!" The Doctor shouted, angrily.
"Clever, clever Doctor. Thinking you could power down my engines?" A voice spoke from behind us.
It was Mr. Kylik in his Hyaolious form.
"Not so clever now, eh?"
"I'll give you a choice. Shut this down and come with me or I'll reduce this entire place to rubble and ASH!" The Doctor offered, rather ruthlessly yelling.
"You think I fear you, Doctor." Mr. Kylik sneered.
Oliv joined him in her Hyaolious form.
"It seems you fear me, after you ran from me rather cowardly earlier?" The Doctor snickered.
"One minute, Doctor!" I updated, shouting.
"You'll never stop me, Doctor." Mr. Kylik cackled with Oliv.
"Doctor! I found something!" I shouted to the Doctor, waving an arm over.
"Oh, this will be entertaining." Oliv chuckled, sitting on a stray pipe. Mr. Kylik joined her.
I showed the Doctor a red and yellow cord leading from the engines to another room. It was the only cord attached to the engines so it must be important.
I threatened to rip it apart.
The Doctor stopped me.
"You can't just rip it apart. If you were to do that, it would ignite the air and explode immediately, taking us with it." The Doctor looked at me with sadness in his eyes.
"Doctor. Thirty seconds." Oliv laughed.
The Doctor's face lit up.
"Yes, yes, yes! If I can bind the ignition used to set off the essence into the ground, it will flow through the Earth's soil harmlessly." The Doctor babbled on sciency stuff.
"Then do it! Shift!" I squealed, excited.
The Doctor used the sonic on the cord, feeding the effects of the essence into the soil beneath our feet.
"Five, four, three, two, one, release." I sequenced.
The soil felt rather strange for a second but then cleared up as the bacteria destroyed the essence, rendering the plant and essence useless.
The engines groaned and the Earth started to rattle violently.
"Gah! Doctor!" I cried as I gripped his shoulder, keeping my footing.
"We gotta get out of here!" He grabbed my hand and ran for the exit.
"Don't leave us!" Oliv screamed.
"Take us with you!" Mr. Kylik squealed.
The Doctor looked at them sorrowfully. He closed his eyes for a second, pondering his thoughts.
"Doctor!" I screamed as boulder blocked of connections with the two aliens in the engine room.
The Doctor shook his head and ran for the exit with me.
The entire tunnel collapsed, just seconds after we made our escape.

"That was some excitement." I giggled, sitting on a bench outside the TARDIS with the Doctor.
"Yeah." He sighed.
I looked over at him, worried.
"Hey." I smiled at him.
"What?" He looked at me, sorrow welding in his eyes.
"It wasn't your fault they died. They did that to themselves the moment they decided to mess with Earth!" I cheered, gently.
"I could have saved them though. It was my fault." The Doctor covered his face with his hands and shook his head.
"Don't beat yourself up over it. It was entirely their choice. They picked the wrong race to mess with." I laughed quietly.
The Doctor breathed through his teeth, feeling a little better.
"Yeah. I guess your right." He sighed.
"Your lonely." My smile disappeared as I rubbed his shoulder
"Yes. I'm so very lonely."
"I'd be happy to rid you of your loneliness."
"Sorry?"
"I want to travel with you through time and space."
"How did you know I traveled through time and space?"
"Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. Obvious. Also, I think I remember you telling me about it."
"Ah, yes, yes. It's a dangerous life, traveling with me."
"I don't give a rat's ass."
"Oi. Watch your mouth."
"Oops. Sorry."
"You really want to travel with me?"
"Yes. I think you need someone. That someone is going to be me."
"You think?"
"Lets get going, then!"
"Where?"
"Everywhere and everything!"
"Alright!" The Doctor jumped up, suddenly hit with enthusiasm.
He unlocked the TARDIS and let me in.
"Oi. I'm never going to get used to seeing this thing." I sighed, rubbing a coral beam.
A low tingling buzzed my hand as if the TARDIS was appreciating my presence.
I smiled and looked around the ceiling.
"Oh, yes. Um, Evel. I was wondering if you'd like to...stop off at home and pack a few things?" The Doctor asked, standing next to me.
"Evel?" I looked at him sideways.
"Thats my nickname for you." He smiled like a moron.
"Yes. I'd like to pack a few things." I replied, smiling.
"Oki-doki! Allons-y!" The Doctor exclaimed happily, running back up to the TARDIS and hit several buttons and whirled around the console, pulling levers and all that junk.
I sat on the jump seat and sighed, thinking of all the adventures we'd have.

"Mum! I'm home!" I yelled, opening the front door.
"Where have you been? You're an hour late! As always! What is it this time? Reading up at the library?" My mum scolded, walking up to me.
"To tell you the truth...I was busy helping to save the world from aliens who wanted to enslave humanity and sell the Earth for fuel." I replied, walking right past mum, going to my room to pack.
My mum looked at me, dumbfounded.
I pulled my large suitcase from under my bed and rested it on my bed. I opened it and filled it with various items. Clothing, my sketch book, my art utensils, my laptop, and to finished it off...my MP3 player. Yes. I still use those. Problem?
I zipped closed my suitcase and headed for the door.
"Where do you think YOUR going off to, missy?" Mum stopped me on my way.
I staggered.
"I, uh, I, well, you see..."
"Shes going to travel with me." The Doctor poked his head into the front hallway.
"Travel? With a stranger?" Mum cleared her thought.
"Absolutely not!"
"Mum! He isn't a stranger!" I pleaded, pulling my mum's arms.
"He is to me! I'm not letting my daughter go off and travel with a strange man! I'm not going to lose you! Not after we lost your father!" My mum practically yelled.
Everyone became silent.
I looked at my mum in horror.
We hadn't spoken about dad's disappearance since I was ten. My dad had left and never returned that year.
Tears flooded my eyes and I turned in a huff to push past the Doctor and practically brake into a run to the TARDIS.
I sat on the bench outside it and sobbed to myself, the winter breeze carrying my tears across the swirling snow and wind.
I heard footsteps crunch in the snow after a while.
I watched the Doctor approach me, slowly.
"What?" I asked, annoyed and teary.
"Your mum told me about your dad after you left. A great man he seemed to be." The Doctor sat next to me and curled me in a warm hug.
"He was a great man. The best man ever. He would take our family to picnics on the first and last days of spring each year. He would tell stories to my brother and I before bed. He would take part in our bedtime prayers. We haven't had another one since he left." I explained, wiping the tears from my eyes. "He always came to school meetings. He always came to my concerts when I used to play the viola. He always was there for me. One day, pfft, he just left. Disappeared!" I sobbed, gripping the Doctor's sleeve.
He rubbed my back in empathy.
I cried for more than half an hour.
I sniffled and sat up.
"You alright now?" The Doctor's brown eyes sparkled at me.
"Yeah. Thank you." I sighed.
"For what?"
"For letting me cry."
"Oh, thats nothing."
"Has mum let me go?"
"Somewhat."
"Alright." I stood up.
The Doctor jumped up and unlocked the TARDIS door, letting me enter.

"Shall I show you to your bedroom?" The Doctor asked, patting my head.
"Don't pat my head. And alright. Show me to my room." I smiled.
The Doctor led me down a long and twisting hallway.
We came to a door labeled "Evelin".
The Doctor gripped the door handle and flung the door open.
I stepped in and gazed around, my mouth wide open.
The room was absolutely beautiful.
My bed was embedded into the floor in a watery mattress. There were pillows and blankets layed out on it. The floor was sleek and wooden.
My closet was infinitely large. I could get lost in it. Ever type of clothing was hung around the closet. Clothing from the late 20s, 50s, 60s, ect were strewn everywhere. My eyes sparkled.
My desk was blue and lovely. It had a paint set on it with all sorts of brilliant color paints.
There were famous painting covering one wall. There was another wall for pictures and painting for me to tape up.
There was a small fridge filled with treats and goodies. I smiled up at the TARDIS in appreciation.
"What do you think?" The Doctor turned to me.
"This. Is. Beautiful." I gleefully twirled around in the middle of the room and fell onto my bed.
I gave a small shriek as the watery bed swallowed me up.
"Are you alright?" The Doctor looked down at me.
"Yeah." I giggled, rising out of the bed.
I nodded at the bed, raising my eyebrows at the Doctor.
His face lit up.
He let himself fall into the squishy bed. It swallowed him up.
We both burst out laughing.
Our laughter filled every corner of the TARDIS.
A hum rang out in a happy tone.
"The TARDIS is glad we are having fun." The Doctor looks over at me, grinning brightly.
"Awesome!" I laughed, diving back down into the bed, disappearing.
"I'm coming after youuu~!" The Doctor squealed evil, swimming after me.
We came up suddenly in loads of laughter.
The Doctor and I turned to face each other. When we did, our faces were only inches away.
We stared into each other's eyes and turned around suddenly, blushing wildly.
Silence...
"So, um." I cleared my thought.
"Yeah. I'm-I I'll leave you to it." The Doctor stammered, climbing out of the bed and left the room in haste, still blushing.
I watch him go, smiling.
I crawled out of the bed and looked at myself.
"I need to freshen up. I smell horrible."
