She looked up at the terrible monster that was towering over her and shouted "what did you do to him!" It merely laughed in response. Alice was now really, really, really mad, and grabbed a rock from the shore and chucked it at the sea serpent's head.

The serpent made to snap at her but she was too far away from the water for it to do any good. "HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP!" she shouted.

"There was nothing he could do!" the monster hissed back

"There was plenty he could do!" Alice shouted back at it "he could have taken you home!"

"I couldn't have gone back home even if I wanted to"

"And why is that?"

"I was banished!"

"Yeah, I could see why…" Alice said "but there's got to be a planet out there with plenty of water that's only inhabited by… fish or something. I would have to ask the Doctor about that, SO WHY DON'T YOU GIVE HIM BACK SO HE CAN HELP!"

"It's too late" the snake hissed, a hint of amusement in its voice.

No, it's not Alice told herself, and then said to the serpent "how'd you get here anyways?" It nodded over to a rock that Alice now noticed really didn't look like a rock. It was some type of space ship. "Did it crash?"

The serpent shook its head "landed. First planet with water. Locked on." Alice frowned at its sudden use of fragmented sentences but ignored it.

"Can't you leave then? Go to a different planet or something?"

The serpent took a while to consider this, but then slowly nodded its head "I suppose I could…"

"Then get a move on with it!" Alice shouted. The serpent snaked into its ship and left. Alice watched it go, slightly doubtful. "That shouldn't have been that easy…" she muttered to herself.

"What shouldn't have?" a voice from behind her asked, and she turned on the spot to find the Doctor walking up to her, perfectly unharmed, though soaked. Alice rushed over and hugged him. "I could tell you missed me… the whole minute and a half I was gone."

Alice grinned and let go of him. He looked down at his wet clothes and frowned. "Never did like these pants…" he mused with a laugh "come on!" he said, going back into the TARDIS.

The Doctor emerged from the wardrobe a while later, wearing something really casual. A pair of jeans and beat up old tennishoes. He was also wearing a plain black t-shirt and a blue plaid jacket. "What do you think?" he asked Alice "I'm not sure if I really like it, now that I think about it."

"It's fine" Alice assured him. He smiled, and with that they were off to their next destination.


right, well short and sweet ending to this episode, even if it only is part 4... but i was running out of ideas. But good news is that I decided which Doctor it is! well, kind of. I went the safe route and decided that this Doctor is one of the future Doctors, that way i don't get mad at myself if he does something that none of the other Doctors would have. Anyways, i also went ahead and decided what he was going to wear, even though it will probably change later, I like the thought of him changing clothes randomly because he can't decide what to wear.
well besides all that, I still haven't decided what his hair and eye color should be, so suggestions are welcome!
