Chapter Sixteen (Doctor`s Point of View)
I took of my coat and handed it to Ditzy, who put it over our heads in an effort to keep us from being soaked in the rain. Didn`t really work, I`ll say that much.
"For an alien, I would think you could stop this weather," She said sarcastically.
"For a human you sure have a lot of high expectations," I shot back with a smile.
"Your so rude, but I don`t care," She laughed.
"Good," I laughed, holding out an arm and stopping her from moving.
"Doctor, the TARDIS is right there! Why did you stop walking?" She asked.
I said nothing, I just kissed her. It shocked her, but eventually she calmed down and dropped the coat with a laugh.
"Hey, I paid good money for that coat," I joked when we took a breath.
"Well now you will have to again," She laughed, wrapping her arms around me and planting her lips on mine again.
The rain kept pouring, lightning streaking the sky like fireworks on the Fourth of July. It was completely silent, everyone around us in their houses asleep, the bell`s silent ticking not heard. It was like one of those perfect movie moments, except I was way older than her. I laughed a bit when I remembered that.
"What`s so funny?" She asked with a large smile on her face.
"I was just thinking, that`s all," I smiled back.
"That`s your answer to everything," She playfully punched my side.
I picked up my drenched coat that inconveniently was thrown into a puddle and held it out.
"How much do you dare me to put it on? My suits already soaked, it wouldn`t matter," I asked, a wry smile breaking out on my face.
"Oh my god, I dare you to infinity!"
"Too bad," I smiled, wrapping it around her before she could protest. She let out a high pitched scream and shivered. "Look, it isn`t so bad!"
"What do you mean 'it isn`t so bad', it`s freezing cold!" She laughed.
"Now you're the Derptor!" My smile grew 10 times larger when I yelled that.
"Oh you know what, you asked for this," She wrapped her arms around me and the soaked coat filtered into my skin.
"You know what, I feel bad for doing that to you now, because that really IS cold!" I laughed trying to shrug it off.
"Nope, sorry Doctor, I can stay like this forever."
"Dare to test that?" The rain picked up and again she stared at me. "Ditzy, just because I am otherworldly doesn`t mean I can control weather!"
"Sure you can`t," She giggled.
"Here," I took the coat from her and wrapped it around me again, letting it flow down to almost the ground. "No shame," I smiled, my arms spread out wide.
"Shut up and get in the TARDIS," She laughed again.
"Alright, Derptor," I laughed, walking into the door and holding it open from inside.
"Is that my nickname now?" She asked, following me inside.
"I don`t know, is it?"
"You and your riddles," She sighed, flopping onto the couch.
"And I have a British accent – it just got so much worse."
She laughed at my remark and sat up. "What`s the time, Doc?"
"Got about – oh, has it been that long? It`s 3 AM, look at that!" I gasped.
"Yeah, how about we head back to Ponyville," She suggested.
"Whatever you say – just remember, this is a TIME machine too," I reminded her.
She groaned and slouched against the couch again, almost falling off when the TARDIS started. "Not funny!" She pouted, getting up and onto the floor.
"Sorry to make the Princess cry, better call a wambulance, huh?" I teased, making her power to try not to smile fade.
"Shut up," She laughed.
"That`s not nice," I frowned with an obvious hint of fakery as the TARDIS landed. "We`re outside of your house, 9:00 PM, same day we left."
Now in pony forms, Ditzy cleared her throat and got my attention. She kissed me and smiled, walking outside. "Goodnight, Doctor!" She called out.
"Goodnight," I mumbled to the empty spaces of air that stood in place of where she was. I heard her front door close and I started to breathe again.
"This is all too real," I laughed to myself, taking off my suit and jacket and throwing it in the washing machine.
"I just hope it isn`t a dream..." I snickered.
"Who would have thought this much could have happened over the course of two days? What would Dinky think? Gosh, I don`t even think that Dinky would be able to see me as a contestant for a father," I laughed to myself. The engines roared. I began to walk to my bedroom but sleep was the last thing I was thinking of doing.
Get your minds out of the gutter.
"Do you think Ditzy might want a gift?" I asked the TARDIS. "What if – oh, just like River Song`s! I still can`t believe she would`ve become my wife in the next regeneration. Too bad, cause then I became a pony. Not like I would have been able to last a day with her," I laughed to myself. "But she might not know how to use it – she knows how to work the sonic, but-" The engines creaked and groaned. "-I`m trying to be clever...!" I shouted back at it, adding in a laugh so she knew I was kidding.
"But where can I find that? I could... but that means... oh well, a hard to make gift is better than none, I suppose. But what`s the occasion? What if I don`t have time? Oh wait, I can travel through time, silly me!" I grabbed a few of my older sonic screwdrivers I had tucked away in the back of a dresser, and ran into the main control room. "Alright then, TARDIS, allons-y...!"
Author`s Note:
Things are getting good? Nope. Because I am uploading a second chapter, and I hated myself for writing it. But the show must go on, and I upload two chapters on Fridays.
