Authors note: I am sorry to tell those who have read my Doctor Who stories before that this is my last story with Luna Edwards. After this story, I will no longer be writting adventures with Luna. I may write other stories but not with Luna involved.

Luna's Prophecy

The TARDIS landed with a firm bump, signalling the start of a new adventure for the Doctor and Luna. On the outside, the TARDIS was completely serene and peaceful. However, inside wasn't quite so calm. The two travelling companions were laughing loudly at the result of the landing. Luna had landed on her bottom and the Doctor found himself on his back, his long legs splayed. For some unknown reason, the pair of them found this hysterical. Maybe they were used to landing in such style or maybe the laughter was masking the pain of hitting the metal floor. Either way, they were hysterically laughing for a couple of minutes. Finally, the Doctor sat up and got to his feet.

"You alright?" He asked Luna.

"Ooh, yeah," She breathed, "That was some landing."

"Yeah. Here, let me help you up."

He took her hands and gently pulled her to her feet. She brushed herself down and straightened her clothes. The Doctor checked the TARDIS controls then smiled at his companion. It was a smile that told Luna to start getting excited. She could never stop herself from smiling back at him.

"So, where in time and space are we?" She asked.

"Ah, a little treat for you, this," He announced, "a right little gem."

Luna stared at him, waiting for more detail. He grinned at the expectation in her crystal blue eyes. He then pointed to the door.

"Take a look." He said softly.

Luna's eyes sparkled with delight as she skipped to the doors and opened them. She failed to spot the adoring look in the Doctor's brown eyes.

With the TARDIS doors open, Luna was greeted by a bustling market place. There were two storey houses around with wooden stalls set up in front of them. People were strolling by and chatting and the stallholders were trying to sell their stock. There was a reddish yellow sun in a slightly aqua coloured sky. It was warm with a gently refreshing breeze. Then Luna smelt it, salt water and fresh fish. She could hear waves crashing on the shore. The Doctor had taken her to a harbour-side market town. Despite this being a market town, it was rather beautiful. Luna stepped out and could see the sea through the gaps between the houses. The Doctor stepped out a few seconds later. He could see the look of amazement on Luna's face. He smiled, knowing she was impressed.

"Well," He said, "What do you think?"

"This is great!" She squeaked, "Where are we?"

"The planet is called Satista and this is Oniro Harbour. All market stalls sell products taken from local resources such as the fish."

"And…"

Luna knew that there was more. There usually was with the Doctor.

"And tonight, they will be putting on a spectacular light show in the sky. They let off amazing fireworks that almost come to life. It only happens every ten years so it is very special to the locals. I went to watch a few decades ago and it was brilliant. I know you'll love it."

Luna couldn't stop smiling. The Doctor was giving her a special treat. He was too good to be true sometimes.

"But you said its tonight," Luna then remembered, "and its still daylight."

"Well, we can explore the market, a bit of sightseeing, and then we can find a good spot to watch the show." He replied.

"Ok, that sounds like a plan."

"C'mon then."

The Doctor grabbed Luna's hand and they started exploring.

The people of Satista were warm and friendly people, all delighted to see Luna and the Doctor. They were all tan skinned with bright white teeth and pointy elf-like ears. Although the TARDIS translated the language, Luna could hear Greek-like accents. The stalls that she and the Doctor saw were each selling very fascinating products. The clothes were beautifully made from local fabric, were soft to touch and were every colour in the universe. The food stalls gave aromas that tickled Luna's nose and stimulated her taste buds. There was a stall selling freshly caught fish, including some fish which had bright blue scales.

"Cobalt Fish," The Doctor explained, "They lick and suck cobalt minerals off the rocks in the sea. It gives them the blue colour on the scales. They taste like Mackerel."

"They live off cobalt?"

"No, it's like their chocolate."

"Nice."

On one of the fruit stalls, Luna came across a small tray of odd looking fruit. They looked like small purple tomatoes. The stall holder gave one each to the Doctor and Luna. Straight away, the Doctor put the fruit in his mouth and ate it. Luna watched then cautiously sniffed hers. It smelt sweet so she carefully bit in to the fruit. To her delight, it tasted lovely, a bit like a spicy apple.

A bit later, Luna was looking at some ornate jewellery on one stall. The jewellery included bangles, rings earrings and pendants. There was a massive variety of colour and sizes. Luna was slightly lost in which piece she liked the most. The Doctor was looking at another stall a few metres from her. But when she turned around, he was gone. She couldn't see him at all.

"Doctor?" She called, "Doctor! Where are you?"

There were so many people that there was no way for her to see or hear the Doctor.

"Oh nice one, Lu," She cursed herself, "Lost him again. Old habits die hard."

She sighed then set off to find him. She walked through the town, looking down every alley and passageway. She couldn't see any sign of him. As she walked, she was bumped into by other shoppers nearly fifty times.

After fifteen minutes and more bumps, Luna soon came across a small hut. It was wooden and looked roughly the same size as a garden shed. There were no windows and the door was actually a plush magenta curtain. Outside the hut stood a woman dressed in an amethyst coloured hooded cloak and a rich purple dress. As Luna got closer, the woman lowered her hood to reveal her long, plaited blonde hair and smoky blue eyes.

"Excuse me," She addressed Luna, "Would you like to see your future? Have your fate deciphered?"

Luna paused for a moment. Fortune telling was usually a way to con people in to giving over their money. Also she had to find the Doctor.

"No thanks," she finally replied, "I don't need to know. Also I'm a bit busy."

"I can see you are not human, yes?"

This caught Luna's attention this time. How did this woman know her biggest secret?

"Victoria Edwards is not your biological mother, no."

"How do you know this?"

The woman didn't answer. She stared at Luna sincerely. This fortune teller appeared to be completely genuine. She asked again if Luna wanted a reading. This time, even though she still didn't know where the Doctor was, Luna agreed.


Who is this mysterious woman? What will Luna encounter inside this little hut? Wait and see... I'd be grateful for any reviews, so please do.
