A/N: This one is a little longer. I tried to explain it all, but let me know if anything confuses you.
"No! No! Not happening." The Doctor said as he shoved the girl and boy out of the TARDIS doors. They had opened up to a grassy field in the middle of nowhere. "There is no way a TARDIS can talk and there is no way I'm letting two teenagers ruin my honeymoon!"
The girl stepped back and crossed her arms. The boy stood silently beside her. He looked at her worriedly as she glared at the Doctor.
"Try and pretend it's not real all you want!" She shouted at him. River Song followed behind them as they stood in the grassy field. "I don't want to go along with you either, but it seems the TARDIS has other plans….I'm sorry did you say honeymoon?" She raised an eyebrow. She uncrossed her arms and began to circle them. A large grin spread over her face.
"Yes honeymoon! And I'd like to get back to it if you don't mind." The Doctor snarled and put his hands on his hips.
"So you two must have just been married then?" She asked eyeing them up as if they were specimen. "Right after getting shot in Utah, and then resetting time at the lake, and faking your death!" She stifled a giggle.
"Careful Aro-.." The boy began to speak but caught himself. "Careful Captain…" He corrected keeping a worried eye on her.
"How is it you know all of this?" The Doctor asked. The girl stopped circling them and cleared her throat.
"Oh um…The TARDIS keeps a log of its history. I go through the old captain's logs when I'm bored." She shrugged.
The Doctor nodded.
"Right…well it was horrible meeting you, I hope you find you're TARDIS and that we never meet again." He said with a smile, grabbed River by the hand and led her back into the TARDIS.
"Sweetie, really." River protested looking back at two behind her. "Can't we just…"
"No." He argued. "I'm sorry but we're leaving and that is final. They'll be fine on their own."
"She's not going to let you do that." The girl said as-a-matter-of-factly. The Doctor looked back to see her poking her head into the doors of the TARDIS. He smiled at the challenge and snapped his fingers.
"Watch me." The doors shut in her face causing her to jump back. The boy took her arm pulling her away as the TARDIS vanished before them.
"Thank goodness." The boy said letting out a sigh. "For a moment I thought you were actually going to go through with that plan."
The girl put up a finger.
"Give it a second…" She smiled. Within a few seconds the TARDIS reappeared. The doors burst open.
"There we are! The crystal caves of…." The Doctor stepped out and looked at the two standing in the field. He looked back at the center of the TARDIS and then back to them. Shaking his head he shut the doors and gave it another go.
Again the TARDIS vanished and then appeared. He tried this three more times before River Song pushed past him and out into the field with the boy and girl.
"It's obviously not working, dear." She said annoyed. "If the TARDIS thinks these two should be with us I say we trust her."
The Doctor shook his head. "We just got ourselves out of trouble. Everyone thinks I'm dead. I'd like to have just one peaceful vacation. No explosions, no danger, no trouble, and especially no teens running about my ship!"
The girl glared.
"Stop calling us teens! I'm one hundred and nineteen years old!" She shouted pointing at herself. "And he's not even living!" She pointed at the boy who awkwardly smiled and nodded.
This peaked the Doctor's interest.
"One hundred and nineteen you say?" He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and waved it over her. He popped the top closed and looked at the readings.
"Impossible…" He shook it and scanned again. "This say's you have…no…you can't…."
The girl smirked knowing what his answer would be. He paced through the grass wearing down a spot as he scratched his head and bit his fingernail.
"It's impossible. You can't be…..You can't have two hearts! That'd make you…."
"Gallifreyan?" She said with a grin. He stopped pacing to face her, his face growing more and more puzzled by the second. River Song's jaw dropped.
"I thought you said they were all gone?" She said shaking her head.
"They are!" He answered taking the girl's face between his hands and squishing her face.
"You mind?" She mumbled through fish lips.
"So how is it you are here?" He said with a smile. "Who are you?" He asked with his ever so curious grin.
"If ya let go a ma face I can tell ya." She mumbled with an annoyed scowl. His hands dropped to his sides as he took a step back.
"Right sorry…it's just…" He stifled a giggle as he put a finger to his lips. His other arm, still holding the sonic screwdriver, rested under his elbow as he stared in awe. "You're Gallifreyan." He squeaked. He turned to the boy next.
"And you as well?" He asked. The boy went to open his mouth when the girl stepped in front of him.
"No. As I said, he's not even alive. This is my body guard robot. He looks human…" She looked up at him. The Doctor could sense a hint of slight distaste. "But he's not…I picked him up when I escaped. He's programmed to make sure nothing bad happens to me. It gets a little annoying to be honest with you."
"I'm sorry?" The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "Escaped? From where? Are you on the run?" For the first time since they'd met he began to look them over.
The girl was dressed in a white under shirt with puffed out sleeves. Over top she had on a tan vest that laced down the front. On her hip she had a leather holster for an odd looking gun, dark brown pants and tall leather boots. Her long orange hair hung loosely at her shoulders. The boy had on scuffed looking blue jeans, black shoes, a light blue plaid shirt and a white under shirt. His skin seemed human enough but his eyes were an unnatural light blue and his light blonde hair didn't blow in the wind, but instead stayed as if it were plastic.
"You don't look on the run." He said finally. "What is it exactly the TARDIS expects to change by bringing you to me?"
The girl let out a sigh.
"I should probably start at the beginning." She said running her fingers through her hair.
After going back inside the TARDIS everyone had settled themselves around the controls. River sat silently next to the boy as the Doctor leaned on the controls across from the girl who leaned on the railing.
"For starters, you can call me Arora. This is Gear." She said pointing to the boy. "He has some super long technical name but I never bothered to remember it." She said brushing it off.
"My parents were from Gallifrey. They managed to escape the time war in their own TARDIS. They traveled for a few hundred years unnoticed."
"Did they ever know about me? Did they know they weren't the last ones?" The Doctor asked in a small voice. Arora nodded.
"They had heard about your adventures but wanted to stay out of trouble. My mother was pregnant with me and didn't want to risk getting themselves killed or having something happen to me. It wasn't long after I began talking did they realize my gift." She smiled and stroked the controls of the TARDIS.
"How is that possible? That you can talk to her?" He asked looking at the large glass cylinder. She thought for a few moments.
"They told me that because I was time lord and that I was born under a strange electrical storm my psychic frequencies are a little stronger than most. You can feel her can't you?" She asked looking up. "Every once in a while…Sometimes you know she takes you somewhere you don't want to because you're meant to be there, or when you're on your own…you sense her watching over you. That's her talking to you. I can hear her. She's a living being, Doctor."
He smiled and nodded.
"That she is."
"They kept my gift secret as we traveled. We made a family pact to not say a word to anyone….However…we ran into a small group of Daleks…"
"DALEKS!" The Doctor shouted standing straight up. "Where? When?"
"I'm not sure where but we traced their time stream to during World War two. They took us captive and ran a neural scan on me. Once they discovered what I could do they transported us to a base they have secretly been building at the end of time."
"What do you mean the 'end of time'?" The Doctor raised an eyebrow. He was now grinding his teeth together to keep himself from getting angry.
"After the last of humanity and all species die out and in all the nothingness the Daleks traveled in time where they could silently rebuild their empire. They plan to rebuild and then go back in time to destroy everything." Hatred rattled through her voice.
"But there is nothing after the end of time!" He said shaking his head confused. "I should know, I was there."
"No. You left to chase after someone called the Master. Time still went on after that. The Daleks went there and began building. They took us there and held us as prisoners as they began working." She had to stop and clear her throat. "One day they took us from our holding cells and introduced us to the Dalek Over Lord."
The Doctor listened in horror.
"After you destroyed their last leader they appointed a new one to over look their plans. He issued a guard robot to take care of me…" She shot Gear a dark look. "The Dalek Over Lord had my mother put to death, claiming that she was no longer needed…." Tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"And your father?" The Doctor whispered. The tears were pouring out now.
"They had discovered away to take a time lord soul and extract it into their own TARDIS." She sobbed. "They planned on converting me into a Dalek and have me be captain of their TARDIS. However…" She cleared her throat and smiled. "My father's soul was still his own. He refused to work for them. The Daleks planned to fuse me with him, when the Dalek Over Lord refused to destroy me they killed him. That's when I had Gear break me out and we discovered the TARDIS. The Daleks picked it up after time had ended but couldn't work it. I stole it and tried to travel somewhere they couldn't find me."
The Doctor nodded.
"Hang on, if their Over Lord is dead who is giving them instructions to get you?" He asked. Arora chuckled as she cleaned the tear from her face.
"Ha, funny story actually…When I first got in the TARDIS I had no idea how to drive it. I accidentally traveled back two years, while still in the Dalek station. The Dalek Over Lord was still alive. He discovered Gear and I just as we were leaving. Ever since then no matter where we run he manages to follow us. We were on five hundred B.C., running from him, when our TARDIS's merged"
The Doctor stood up straight and circled the controls.
"And how exactly does she plan to rewrite history?" He asked smiling up at the wires hanging down from the top of the ship.
Arora listened as the TARDIS spoke to her.
"She says that it will be impossible for the Dalek Over Lord to track us….and that we have to let events play out. She says that she would like to remind you that she can see all of time at once. By me being here we have already begun to rewrite history…there is still hope for my parents." Arora smirked and placed a hand on the TARDIS.
Gear stood up. His jaw was clenched tight.
"Arora, I'm not sure this is a good idea." He said trying not to look at the Doctor or River. "We don't know the repercussions this could have."
Arora rolled her eyes and walked up to him.
"No don't." He said shaking his head and stepping back but she was already too close. "Don't you just ignore me and put me in…"
"Sleep mode." She said as if it were a command and tapped her index finger on the tip of his nose. His eyes shut and his head dropped.
"What did you do to him?" River asked alarmed. She stood up and put both hands on his shoulders.
"It's just his temporary sleep mode. I do that when he gets annoying or when it's time to power him down for the night. He'll be fine. It only lasts a few minutes for sleep mode." She said casually.
The Doctor lifted Gear's head and scanned him with the sonic screw driver.
"So where exactly do we go from here?" River asked stepping back and crossing her arms.
"Well…" Arora said pulling leavers on the controls. "The TARDIS said to let events play out…so where were you two headed?" she asked pressing a few buttons.
"Our honeymoon…" The Doctor said bitterly as he reviewed the scans on the sonic screwdriver.
"Right…" Arora nodded feeling a little guilty. "Well, who says I have to ruin all your fun, eh?" She smiled pulling the screen to where she could see it. "How about you two take a nice leisurely walk around the water falls of the Waloon's Waterfall City? It's spring and the flowers are in bloom."
River and the Doctor stepped around to see the screen. It showed a beautiful landscape of waterfalls, colorful birds and tropical green trees.
"Oh my…" River Song said breathlessly. "It's beautiful."
"Go on." Arora smiled and led them to the door. She opened it up to reveal what had been on the screen. It looked even better in real life.
"You two go explore. We'll be here when you get back." Arora assured them.
"Well…one trip to the triple rainbow falls couldn't hurt…" The Doctor said adjusting his bowtie.
"The Lullaby Lilly's will be blooming." Arora hummed as she leaned on the TARDIS archway. River took the Doctor by the hand and led him down a stone path.
"We'll be back by nightfall." The Doctor shouted back. Arora waved and shut the door behind her. Her smile quickly fell.
"Sleep mode!" Gear shouted as his system restarted. He looked around confused and let out a low growl. "Tell me you didn't leave me by myself in the TARDIS." He said looking around.
"I'm still here." Arora said running up the stairs and leaning on the railing. "I dropped them off at Waloon. They're coming back at night fall." Her voice was dull and lifeless.
Gear rubbed his temple as his systems reset.
"I hate it when you do that. It makes my hard drive act slow."
Arora rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" He asked. "Tagging along with them and rewriting your whole future?"
She shrugged.
"I'm not sure of anything, but if TARDIS thinks they can help…" Her eyes fell to the floor. "Do you think they know I lied?"
Gear shook his head.
"My scans say no, but…you can't lie to them forever. Eventually they're going to figure it out one way or another." He said worriedly.
Arora nodded.
"I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. I can't tell them just yet…I don't have the heart to. You're not living…you wouldn't understand." She said swallowing hard. She stood up and down the stairs. "Help me set up my hammock. I haven't slept for three days and I can use this time to get a little rest."
Gear nodded.
"Readings suggest at least ten hours of rest." He said in a monotone voice as if a machine was speaking instead of him. Arora emerged from the bottom with a large cloth wrapped up.
"I hate it when you talk like that." She said tossing the cloth to him. "Help me tie this up." She ordered.
Gear nodded and began tying the hammock to the railing to the stairs and part of the wall.
"Do you have to lie to them?" Gear finally asked. "Can't you just tell them what's really happening?"
Arora tossed a few pillows into the hammock and hopped in it. Gear settle down beside her, resting his back on the wall.
"If I learned anything from my father, it's that the Doctor always lies, even if it's a good lie to keep good people out of trouble or to protect them from fear…So from now on, rule one…The Doctor's daughter always lies. And that goes for her little pet robot too." She said glaring at him. "Now I don't want to hear any more about this. I'm exhausted." She said rolling over.
"But what if—" He began to speak but Arora let out an annoyed grunt and kicked him with the toe of her boot.
"Sleep mode!" She shouted. He powered down and dropped to the floor.
