Chapter 3
"Before we go, can I just grab a few things? You know, my phone, laptop, some clothes." I trot my way over to the door. "Don't go anywhere!" I call over my shoulder. As soon as I'm out the door, I sprint back inside. I run around my room in a flurry of excitement, shoving clothes, electronics, and whatever else I think is necessary into a bag.
When I'm satisfied with what I've got, I haul the bag downstairs and out the door as fast as I can. "Oh, crap!" I say to myself, remembering that I should probably inform my family about where I'm going. I quickly scrawl a little goodbye note:
I've gone off to see the stars with the Doctor! The REAL Doctor! Don't worry, I'll stay safe. You can always call me, I've got my cell phone). I'm sure the Doctor will sonic it for me. I love you, Thank you for everything you've done for me.
Love always,
Victoria
I grab some money just in case and rush out the door, leaving the note on the kitchen table. A dreamy expression paints its way across my face as I stare at the gorgeous blue box I've dreamed about for ages. I make my way over to it and push the door open, dragging my heavy bag behind me. The Doctor looks up from the monitor he'd been watching as I walk in. "You know, I never caught your name." he says.
"Oh!" I say, "I'm Victoria. Victoria WIlliams."
The Doctor gives a sad smile. "Williams." he repeats. "You know I had a Rory Williams on board once upon a time."
"I know. And I also know you cared about him and Amy very much. I'm so sorry, Doctor." I quickly cross the console room and throw my arms around the Doctor, giving him a friendly hug to let him know I'm there for him. He sort of returns the hug, seemingly glad that someone has offered to show some compassion.
The Doctor abruptly pulls away. "So!" he says, "All of time and space. Where do you want to start, Miss Victoria Williams?"
I open my mouth but immediately close it, realizing that I have no idea where I want to go. I knit my brows together and scrunch up my nose, putting on my "thinking face".
"I honestly don't know." I admit, shrugging my shoulders. I mean, I've spent hours thinking of where I'd want to go if I ever got the chance, but not one thing comes to mind. I could go to ancient Greece and see the first Olympics or even visit an alien planet. There are so many things to choose from. "I want to see something new! Surprise me!"
With a silly grin, the Doctor rushes around the console room, pressing buttons and pulling levers. In no time, the TARDIS is making that wonderful "Vworp Vworp" noise and everything's going wibbly-wobbly. The Doctor and I stumble around as the TARDIS tosses and turns in the Time Vortex. Eventually, the TARDIS stops shaking us around and we can both stand again. A flurry of butterflies tickle my insides. I've never been more excited or more terrified in my life. "So, we've landed. But where?" I ask, turning to the Doctor. He cocks his neck to the side as he speaks. "Well, You'll just have to see for yourself."
I rush over to the door but stop short just in front of it. What on earth have I gotten myself into this time? I think. Finally, the excitement gets the best of me. I hastily open the door and step out. My eyes widen and my jaw drops. I can only manage a few words.
"Oh. My. Gallifrey."
OK, so here's where it gets fun for you guys reading. I can't decide where the Doctor should take Victoria so I won't. You will! Just send me a review telling me where you'd like them to go. I'll pick one and try to use it! It can be past, present, or future. It can be Earth or...not Earth. Wherever you choose. I look forward to hearing from you!
