Wow! Thanks so much for the fantastic response! Sorry I didn't update sooner, it's been a hectic weekend.
Thanks to:
Ta Dziewczyna, Live to Daydream, Kimikono, Little Nerdling, Safi-ry, and TheStarKidsHaveThePhoneBox (nice AVPM reference) for stalking.
jebjenniewren, Live to Daydream, Qu0thTheRavenNeverm0re, OptimisticLivvy, Kimikono, and Safi-ry for favoriting.
And to everyone who reviewed/PMed!
rya-fire1- yes, of course! :)
Qu0thTheRavenNeverm0re- haha thanks xD I tend to have that effect on people ;) Glad you liked it so much! Thanks for the information, I'll see what I can do!
OptimisticLivvy- lol thanks! My little sister (she's 12) actually said that as she read that chapter over my shoulder. I just HAD to put it in xD I dunno, I quite like Jack ;) 11's sexy too, but I think Jack would win, personally :P Honestly, I didn't really like either of them. They were okay and all, but I liked Donna best for sure. Rose was too whiny and needy and "OMGMYDOCTORITHOUGHTIWASSPECI ALLL!" and Martha needed to not be so "let me be your rebound chick." That's just my opinion, they were both good characters, I just didn't like them :/
Kimikono- thanks!
Safi-ry- *hits button on her Vortex Manipulator zapping the Doctor back to her* please, did you think I'd leave him unprotected? HAHAHAHA
TheStarKidsHaveThePhoneBox- thanks! Yes, yes you can. Yum! Potassium!
We interrupt your scheduled programing to bring you a special message from out sponsors:
The 'Who Wants To Be A Companion?' stage is lit up. There are four chairs sitting in a row in the center of the arena. The theme music starts to play and the audience claps.
Smiling and waving, Nickel walks onto the stage and sits in the far left chair. "Hi folks, and welcome back to 'Who Wants To Be A Companion?' Today we have a very special treat for you all! Please welcome…the tenth Doctor, Rory, and another Dalek!" The audience cheers as they walk onto stage and each sit in a chair. Turning to them, Nickel straightens her bow tie. "So guys," she says, "do you know why you're here?"
"Well," drawls the Doctor, "not exactly…"
"TO EX-TER-MINATE?!" shouts the Dalek. Nickel shakes her head no, causing the Dalek to look crestfallen.
Rory raises his hand tentatively. "Um, I was promised pie…"
Rolling her eyes, Nickel sighs. She shakes her head, "What moron is in charge of telling you guys what type of episode you're going to appear on?" They all point at Nickel, causing her to blush in embarrassment. "Oh…right…" She turns to one of the cameramen awkwardly. "We can edit that bit out, right? No? Shit…"
With a flip of her hair, Nickel turns back to her guests, "Alright, so today, we have a secret contestant backstage. And you are all competing for," there is a drumroll, "a date with her!" The audience hoots and hollers as Nickel's guests share shocked expressions and begin to protest.
"But…Rose…"
"I'm sort of married right now…"
"DALEKS DO NOT DATE!"
"I'm a Time Lord…it would never work!"
"She's Scottish and would kick my a—"
"WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE?!"
"I don't think you're even allowed to do that!"
"Seriously, Amy can be really terrifying when she's angry."
"I WISH TO SPEAK WITH UPPER MANAGEMENT!"
The bellyaching ends abruptly when Nickel pulls a lightsaber out of her jacket and threatens them with it. "That's better," she grins. "So, here's the rules; I'm going to ask a few questions and whoever has the best answers will go on the date! This is decided by the audience. Is everyone ready?" There is a chorus of "no"s and Nickel laughs. "Good. Keep in mind; you have no choice in this." After a few minutes of fancy lighting and music, Nickel begins asking questions.
"Question number one: what is your idea of a perfect date?"
The Doctor answers first, deciding to get this silly game over with. "Well, I'd like to go for a nice run, holding hands of course, and possibly save a planet or two. Destitute civilizations are the perfect first date locations!" The audience gapes at him, his answer not quite unexpected.
Rory shakes his head; he couldn't believe that the Doctor used to be so…okay, he could believe it. "Personally," he says, "I would take her to a nice restaurant for dinner, maybe a movie. I'd pay, obviously, and afterwards, depending on how things go, we might just sit outside and talk." A few girls in the audience sigh, wishing that they had a Rory.
"PUH-LEASE!" screams the Dalek, rolling its eyestalk. "THOSE ARE INFERIOR IDEAS! I WOULD BE THE SUPERIOR DATE! I WOULD TAKE THE FEMALE TO SKARO AND TRANSFORM HER INTO A DALEK! WE ARE SUPERIOR! DALEKS SHALL BE VIC-TOR-IOUS!" A cricket chirps in the audience, silenced when an Ood turns the ringer on his phone to silent.
Disguising her laugh as a cough, Nickel tries to suppress a grin. "Thank you for those…um…interesting answers. The second question is: Who was your first love?"
"I'd…uh…I'd rather not talk about that," the Doctor replies tearfully, reminded of all he lost when Gallifrey was destroyed. A box of tissues flies at him from somewhere in the audience. He catches it skillfully and blows his nose.
Rory pats him on the back comfortingly. "My first love?" he asks. "I met her when I was just a kid and I knew, right then, that I wanted to marry her someday." Beaming joyfully, he turns to the audience. "A couple years back, I did just that." A collective "aww" circulates the audience, their hearts melting for the Ponds.
"DALEKS HAVE NO NEED FOR LOVE!" shrieks the Dalek. "I DO NOT KNOW WHAT LOVE FEELS LIKE!" A single, tiny drop of oil falls from its eyestalk as it wonders if this is what sadness feels like.
Nickel clears he throat awkwardly, and uncomfortable Silence entering the room. After asking him to leave, she turns back to her guests. "Okay. So this is the final question. What is the most romantic thing you've ever done for someone?"
Smiling fondly at the memory of Rose, the Doctor sighs. "I burned up a sun to say goodbye. Then I let her live my life with my other self." The audience claps happily, remembering these events well. One person runs out, bawling over "how sad" it had been.
Sitting up a bit straighter, Rory clears his throat. "I waited two thousand years for her." The audience cheers.
The Dalek thinks for a moment, not really having any "romantic" memories. "I DID NOT EX-TER-MINATE HER!" he decides on, proudly screaming to the heavens.
Nickel waits a moment for the audience to vote, before a short, purple, bald man walks up to her and gives her a sealed envelope. "The votes are in!" she declares as the man leaves the stage. "But, before I announce the winner, let's find out who our mystery guest is! Please but your hands together for…Little Nerdling!"
The audience cheers as Nerdling walks onto the stage. Giggling, she waves at the crowd. "Hiya guys!"
"This is it," Nickel grins, "the moment you've all been waiting for. The winner of a date with Nerdling is…" There is another drumroll as Nickel opens the envelope and reads the contents. She blinks in confusion. "…the Dalek?!" She turns to the audience, "Seriously, guys? You chose the Dalek?" When the audience nods, Nickel shrugs, "Whatever. Congratulations to Nerdling and the Dalek for your date. Good luck to the both of you!"
As the credits roll and Nerdling and the Dalek exit, the Dalek pauses just long enough to scream one last thing.
"YES! FINALLY, DALEKS HAVE BEATEN THE DOC-TOR AT SOMETHING!"
So, PM me if you would like to be on the show! Also, I love reviews ;)
