Hey guys, it's BananaBabe! Sorry the update took so long-summer's been uber-hectic and then we had finals... anyway, please enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: No matter what the dancing bananas in my head tell me, we do NOT own Doctor Who!... or do we? *duh duh duh!*


In the dim lighting, Kayla couldn't see much except for a thin outline of the man—or, the Doctor, or… her father's body. She noticed he had very good hair, and wore a long jacket—almost like a trench coat. Great, not another flasher, Kayla thought. She also noticed that he was very, very, very, very, very, very, tall.

The Doctor mozied on over to her and squinted, saying, "It's been thirty minutes, now my order is free." Kayla now saw his face—narrow, a big heck of a nose planted straight in the smack dab of his face, infinite eyes, thin lips, and a smile that stretched all the way to his ears.

"What?" was all Kayla could muster out of her mouth.

The Doctor narrowed his eyes at her. "Say, how'd you get into my TARDIS? A knock would've been nice. Wait… you are the pizza delivery person aren't you?" he scrutinized her carefully. "Have we met before?"

Kayla straightened herself up. "I'm Kayla de Souza. Umm, I believe you met my mum?" what was she supposed to do now? Those two wacky girls Ember and Katie didn't tell her what to do!

"Oh… Christina? How's she doing? Bloody brilliant, right?" Kayla had seen that smile before on her mother countless times—plastered, fake. The Doctor's eyes told the story though—he knew that if Christina went nowhere, that it'd be his fault. He was already suspicious of Kayla.

"Good, good…" Kayla clasped her hands together. She could feel the awkward. "So… I was wonderin'… oh! Have you seen a boy this tall? Dark hair, mystical eyes? Name rhymes with 'pico'?"

The Doctor shook his head no. "No… unless it was my pizza man. Speaking of which, how hard is it to find a blue box in the middle of the Sahara desert? Really!" The Doctor took a peek at his watch and then he said, "Hey… you wouldn't mind looking out those doors for me, just in case, y'know… I'm not in the Sahara desert?" he looked down bashfully.

Kayla walked over to the TARDIS doors from the captain's chair where the Doctor had been sitting and threw open the doors. A sudden blast of fog hit her like a ton of bricks. "Doctor?" she called over her shoulder. "We're not in Sahara anymore. We're in… I think London?" When Kayla turned her attention back to outside two thirteen-year old kids approached her.

"Excuse me, but my blockhead of a brother asked if the Doctor was there?" the redheaded girl shot her apparently twin brother a "don't be so ridiculous look" and rolled her eyes.

"Umm, yeah, he's workin' on something right now though," Kayla stuttered. How did these kids know about the Doctor?

"Ha! I told you so, Riv! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" the boy stuck his tongue out at his sister. They were both about five feet tall, the girl a bit taller than the boy, and they had ginger hair and dark brown eyes with gold flecks.

"Are you his companion?" the boy pressed, practically jumping out of his skin with excitement.

Kayla let out a small laugh. "Hehe, me? No, no…" her voice trailed off and she pressed the time hopper to the communication setting.

"Who are you then?" queried the girl, River, squinting her eyes.

"I'm… I'm the pizza delivery person!" Kayla said, randomly. She mentally slapped herself, realizing that these kids would be smarter than she was at that age. Though she bet they didn't know how to nick anything yet.

River rolled her eyes again. God that was getting annoying. "I'm River Williams. This is my brother Octavian. Everyone calls him by his middle name—Vincent, but Vince for short. He hates his first name. Better than being named after a stupid flowing pond," she ranted. "Do you know how annoying it is when your mum's last name is Pond, and if it weren't for your dad you'd be 'River Pond'? I mean, didn't they think of that when they 'ad us?"

"Yeah…" Kayla said. She looked around. "Hey, where'd your brother go?"

The ginger shrugged. "I dunno. Prob'ly getting our mum. Y'know, she had an imaginary friend called the Doctor. Everyone in this dinky, boring town knows about him and how my mum was obsessed with him," she said. "But d'ya wanna know a secret?"

"What?" asked Kayla, just for the heck of it.

"He came back, nearly twelve years later. The Doctor came back, and everyone believed her, and they saved planet Earth. Well, at least that's what the town tells me—but everyone here treats me like a kid anyway," River said, kicking a rock with her teal Vans.

"Kayla, can you shut the TARDIS doors? It's getting drafty in here!" the Doctor shouted. River tried looking past Kayla into the TARDIS.

"Is someone in there? Mum and Dad said it was bigger on the inside—like, a whole different dimension or something. But I didn't believe them. Told them I was too big for fairytales. Is that him? Is that the Doctor?" asked River, eyes shining brightly.

Kayla knew what that feeling was like. Knowing that something you were told as a kid was actually real, and the mysteries of your life were solved all in one conversation… or one day for that matter. That reminded Kayla of why she was actually there.

"Kayla? Kayla, are you there?" Jack's voice buzzed from the time hopper. "Did you find Nico?"

"Who's that? Is that some sort of… space hopper?" River asked.

Kayla ignored River and spoke into the belt, "Hey, Jack. No Nico… but I found the Doctor… but he's still young. And I'll come back… wait, how do I come back?" she asked.

"Don't worry, Kay. Ember and K-Katie are opening another portal as we speak. It'll open about five feet in front of you," Jack's voice said. Kayla nodded her head and watched as a portal opened up, inches from the back of River's head. Kayla embraced her, knowing that what she was doing was risky, and let the portal envelope them and send them back to Master Land, with dangerous roller coasters and the never-ending merry-go-round.
