After our adventure with the Autons, the Doctor decided to properly introduce himself. "So after that incident, I believe its time to explain who I am," He said. "But first, would you like a ride on my TARDIS?"
"Oh, sure," I said, sarcastically. "I'll just go on a ride in a time machine with some random guy in a fez, who I've only just met an hour ago. Yeah, that'll go over real well with my mother. No, what I'd really like, is for you to tell me who you are, where you came from, and where the HELL did you get that fez!"
"Oh. Okay," He turned red again. "Umm... Well, for starters I'm a TIme Lord... From Gallifrey..."
"But You look human!" I interjected.
"No, actually, you look Time Lord. We were here first" He replied, smirking, obviously proud of himself for that. I rolled my eyes. He continued, "After the Time War I ran away, but not before fighting I the front line. You see, instead of dying, we Time Lords regenerate. That's how I was able to survive. Currently, I'm 909 years old, and in my 11th regeneration.
My jaw dropped.
"B-b-but you look so young!"And you're not too bad on the eyes either. I added in my head, hoping he couldn't read minds or something.
"Yeah, I get that a lot from my companions."
"Wait, what? You get what from your what a lot?"
"My companions, friends, the people who've travelled with me, they always tell me that I look too young for my age. A lot of them end up hitting on me, too... But that doesn't matter right now," he said.
"Well, where are all your companions then?" I was hoping they weren't all in the TARDIS, 'cause that would mean I had a lot of competition to overcome.
"They're al gone."
"What do you mean they're gone? Why'd they leave?"
"Well," He started with a sad smile on his face. "They leave because they should, or they find someone else, and some of them forget me, I suppose in the end... They break my heart."
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that," I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. This poor, sad man and his big blue box. If I were his companion, I would never, ever leave him. He just seems to lonely.
"I think I should go home... before my mom flips out on me for being late," I said, quickly changing the subject.
"Oh! Why don't I accompany you then? Geronimo!" And he started to walk. Unfortunately, it was in the wrong direction.
"Umm, Doctor? You're going the wrong way," I giggled.
"Oh. Right. I guess I'll just follow you..." he trailed behind me.
"Oh, and you still never told me where you got that fez. I want one! I've been collecting hats for a couple of years, and I really need to add a fez to my collection. And possibly a Stetson. Stetsons are cool. Bowties are cool too. I used to wear those to school almost every day for the longest time. But then my mom told me to stop acting like a boy..." I rambled on and on.
"Bowties are wonderful! I don't see why girls shouldn't be able to wear them. They're cool! I wear bowties. And Stetsons, Stetsons are cool. As are fezzes. So, now would you consider a ride in my TARDIS?" He was almost begging me now.
"Like I said, I should probably go home first, before my mom freaks out," Now I was considering going with him. And besides, my mother's been pestering me about meeting someone. Maybe I could travel with him.
"Well, here we are," I said, when we arrived at my house. I opened the door, and called out to my mother. "I'm home! And I brought a friend!" I showed him they way to the dining room and he stood behind me in the doorway, while my mom started to shout at me.
"Where on Earth have you been? I've been worried sick! I was about to ph-"
"MOM! Calm the fuck down! I'm twenty-one years old, I don't need your permission to go out! I understand you were worried, and next time I'll phone you. Its just that I met someone after work today," I suppose that calmed her down. A bit.
"And who's this 'someone'? One of your girlfriends I presume? I swear to God, Andy you make me think you're a lesbian, how often you hang out with Em and Nikki."
"Oh my God, mom! I'm NOT a lesbian! And actually, I brought him home. Mom, meet... John. John Smith." I had to hesitate, a bit. I couldn't just introduce my fake date as "the Doctor". I'm surprised she didn't notice. 'John' stepped out from behind me.
"John Smith?" He whispered to me.
"Sorry, I was panicking," I responded.
"Actually that's the name I usually go under when I need one," he said.
"Well, great minds think alike, I suppose."
"So, Mr. Smith-"Mom started.
"Oh, please, call me John. It's lovely to meet you, Ms. Jones."
"So John, would you like something to eat? Or did you two go out for dinner?"
"No, I'm famished actually, do you think you could make me some fish fingers and custard?" Who eats fish fingers and custard? Is it a British thing or something? I hope mom doesn't ask him that, that would be kind of racist...
"Sure, I'll fix you that. But where on Earth did you get that combination? Is it a cultural thing in Europe? You are from England, right? I can tell by your accent." Oh, mom. Way to be subtle. "Andy? Would you mind coming with me?"
I groaned, and followed her into the kitchen. I could just imagine what she wanted to talk about. She was probably going to give me 'the talk'. I mean, I've never really shown interest in anyone, and she really treats me like a kid sometimes.
"So how long have you known him?" Even better. She was going to question me. I decided to tell her the truth, its better than lying and then having the Doctor spilling the beans by accident.
"Okay, mom, to tell you the truth, I only met him a couple of hours ago, when he popped out of this blue box called a TARDIS, which was parked outside my work. He grabbed me by the hand, told me to run, and we went and fought some walking mannequins, which were actually called Autons. It was actually really fun." I said this with the most serious face I could pull off, because I really was telling the truth.
"Don't be sarcastic with me young lady!" My mother shouted.
"I'm not! Just ask John!"
"What are you asking John?" The Doctor cut in. "Sorry, I heard shouting in the kitchen, I thought I might check it out."
"So, John, what did you and Andy do this evening? And I want the truth," She said.
"Well, I came out of my TARDIS, wearing my lovely fez, and Andromeda was standing there, knocking on the door. I heard someone cry for help, so I grabbed her hand, told her to run, and we went and fought some Autons." Crap. My mom was getting furious.
"Well!" She exclaimed. "If I had known you were some kind of lunatic who likes to make up stories about things that never happened and then have my daughter tell them to me, I would never have let you in my house!" And she bitch-slapped him across the face.
"MOTHER!" I shouted.
"Its okay," The Doctor explained. "I'm rubbish with mum's. This isn't the first time ive been slapped by one. I'll just be leaving now."
"No!" I shouted and followed him out to the hallway "John, please just stay for a little while more!"
"Why don't you come with me?" He suggested.
"I would love to but my mom-"
"Andromeda, you've seen your mum every day for the past twenty-one years, this could be the only chance you'll ever have to go travelling. You could give a call to your mum every day, and I can bring you back to any time you want. We can go everywhere, and when were through, I'll bring you back, I could bring you back for five minutes from now!-"
"If I leave with you I'm never coming back!" I blurted, covering my mouth and turning red.
"And why is that, may I ask?"
"B-becauseā¦" I stuttered, trying to make an excuse. I couldn't tell him that I loved him! "I've always wanted to go travelling, and-and if I start I wont ever want to stop!" I rushed out.
"Oh. Well that's okay, you could still always visit your mother. And like I mentioned, I can bring you back to any time you want. So how about it?" He said, grinning foolishly.
"Well, let me go back and talk to my mom. I should tell her I'm leaving." I walked back into the kitchen where my mom had stayed while me and the Doctor battled it out in the front hallway.
"Mom," I said, "I'm leaving with John. Its what I really want to do. I want to get out, and travel the world! Not be stuck here in Canada for the rest of my life. I've never even been to Niagara Falls! Or the States! And we live right by both! He promised me he could take me anywhere, and I-I think I might be falling for him. He promised he would bring me back to visit, though. Anytime," I got up to leave, and my mom had tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry mom." I whispered and turned my back to her for what could possibly be the last time.
"I love you, Andy." Mom said, almost in hysterics. "Make sure he keeps you safe."
"Goodbye, mom. I love you too." And I walked through the front door and collapsed into the Doctors arms in hysterics. What a way to start my life as the Doctor's permanent companion.
