Luna's Prophecy

Out on the street, the Doctor had been searching for Luna all over the town. He was worried that she had got lost but was confident that she would be ok until he found her. He had past the fortune teller's hut when he called her name again. This time she had stepped out of the hut and was stood behind him and only a few feet away. She smiled at the sight of him.

"I'm here." She chimed.

The Doctor looked over his shoulder to see his companion smiling at him.

"There you are," He cheered, "I've been looking everywhere for you."

"Well, here I am."

Luna smiled as she gazed in to the Doctor's eyes. Then unexpectedly, but happily received, she hugged him. She was just so relieved to see him. He stood in surprise at then smiled and hugged her back.

"What was that for?" He asked, once she had let go.

"I just wanted to hug you." She replied, smiling.

"Oh, well, I've got something for you. Hold on, let me find it."

He put his hand in his coat pocket and started rummaging around in it. His tongue poked out of the side of his mouth as he concentrated. The pockets were like the TARDIS, bigger on the inside. Eventually, he pulled something out. Whatever it was, Luna could see it was small enough to fit in to his fist. He held his hand out to reveal a pretty, delicate bracelet sitting in his palm. It was made up of blue, lilac and clear crystals. The crystals caught the sunlight and sparkled. Luna smiled in surprise.

"Wow, its lovely," She cooed, "So pretty."

"Its Satistan crystal," He explained, "Quite a special piece here. I thought you might like to have it."

He passed it to his companion and she tried it on her wrist. It fitted like a glove. Luna couldn't believe that the Doctor had got her a gift. But…

"How did you pay?" She asked, "You don't normally carry money."

"I had some coins," He replied insistently, "Now, come on. The light show starts soon. We need to find place to watch from before it gets too busy. Allons-y."

He took Luna's hand and led her through the town.

Soon the Doctor and Luna were sat on an area of grass just away from the promenade. From their position, they could see the boats tied up in the harbour and the open ocean. The sky was turning slightly lilac as the sun set. The Doctor propped up his head, neck and shoulders up with his elbows with his long legs outstretched. Luna sat next to him, her legs bent and tucked in front of her chest, her head resting on her knees. As they waited for the show to start, Luna's mind drifted to what the fortune teller told her earlier.

'If I were you, I would treasure every moment that you are with that man.'

Was the seer correct? Was the Doctor's life in danger? Surely not.

'But he can regenerate," She thought, "But if he does, he will be a completely new man. Do I want that? But I couldn't live without him. Oh, this can't be right.'

And what was the choice that had to be made? Who had this choice to make?

Suddenly, Luna's train of thought was broken by the sound of a firework exploding. She looked up to the shape of a dragon, orange and gold, breathing red flames. It looked like a giant mosaic of light. Suddenly, the dragon flapped its wings and soared across the sky, shooting streams of red fire. The harbour filled with sounds of awe and amazement. It was like watching a real flesh dragon flying through the sky. Then the dragon stopped and started to fizzle away. As it disappeared, the next firework was let off. This time, it formed the image of a dolphin, blue and white, leaping out of water. It started diving and jumping in the sky as if it was in the sea. Luna was stunned. The Doctor sat up and grinned at the display above his head. Then, Luna leant back and went to use her hands and arms as a prop. But as she put her hand down, it touched the Doctor's. It took them both by surprise and they both looked at each other straight in the eyes. It felt like time had stopped. Luna couldn't take her eyes away from his. She was almost afraid to. Then it happened. Something came over her. She pressed her lips against his and kissed him deeply. At first, the Doctor was shocked; he didn't know what to do. Then to Luna's relief, he stared to kiss back. Both of Luna's hearts felt as if they were flying with the light show.

As they kissed, one of the fireworks set off and the sky was filled with a flock of different coloured parrots, swooping in all directions. Then they parted lips and gazed in to each other's eyes.

"Well, that was unexpected." The Doctor said with not much hint of his thoughts.

Luna felt her cheeks glow and eyes daren't leave his. She was quite sure that the journey was over and she was going home any minute now. After hearing what happened to the Doctor, she was positive that he didn't want their relationship to go that way. She chewed her bottom lip with nerves, waiting to see what he was going to say and do. Then a cheeky smile appeared on his face. He then leaned in and kissed Luna again. This time, Luna let herself enjoy and absorb the experience. He was gentle and tender but the love and warmth was there. But as she kissed him, the prediction from the fortune teller came to the forefront of her mind. The thought that the Doctor's life was in danger started to the worry her again and distract her from the moment. She carefully ended the kiss, much to the Doctor's confusion. He could see sorrow in her eyes, despite her trying to hide it.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine," She smiled softly, "Its just that we are missing the show. And it is the reason we are here."

"Ah, good point."

He smiled back and then stood up, took of his long coat and put it over her shoulders. She accepted the gesture shyly as he sat next to her, a little closer, and put his arm around her. Luna could feel her hearts swell. But her mind was swimming with what the fortune teller had told. She wasn't sure whether to tell the Doctor or not. For now, she tried to enjoy the light show. Meanwhile, there was a darkness that was creeping up on the two time-travellers, a darkness that would change the relationship of the two companions forever.
