Disclaimer: I own nothing except my OC. If I did, Sherlock would be finding out why my life's so boring.
Author's note: So now Hex will finally get a chance to see the Tardis properly. I decided I might publish a couple chapters at a time sometimes depending on the progress I make. Oh, and I'll write a non-canon one-shot for this story for the person who can give me the best idea or setting for said one-shot with their own oc character; who knows, I might make the one-shot cannon if it's good enough. See it as a kind of competition. I'm thinking of maybe making one every five chapters or ten depending on how much time I have. Enjoy! :)
Of course, Rose had other plans when it came to forgetting the Doctor and convinced Hex to go to Mickey's flat with her, although she honestly didn't need convincing. Hex had secretly been fangirling on the inside ever since the Doctor had turned up. At Micky's flat Rose had quickly found the right website. Micky said he'd drive them there, but Hex said that she'd rather stay back in the flat and do some more research to see if she would find anything else, telling them she'd meet up with them later for Pizza and share what she'd found. Hey of course didn't do that. Instead she pulled off her shoulder bag which she had brought along and emptied its content onto Micky's bed. There was a laptop which Hex had saved up for, her phone, her wallet, a packet of individually wrapped sweets (for Platform One just in case), some string, a small wallet with some psychic paper (made with the help of her pocket watch) and her Tardis Blue journal and pencil case. Hex was sure to add an electronic pocket with isomorphic controls so that she had a place in her bag only she could access. The pocket itself also had its own perception filter and was linked to a dimensional pocket. Hex had finally found out how to make things bigger on the inside. She couldn't quite do it to the size of the Tardis but it was still quite an accomplishment.
In that hidden pocket she carefully placed her laptop, her psychic paper, and her journal. She then firmly closed the pocket off and stuffed the other things back into the bag. The bag itself didn't have a perception filter on it because that would have been too much of a risk. If the Doctor finds even one perception filter on me, he might start looking for other ones.
Once Hex was satisfied she pulled on the shoulder bag and ran out of the flat. It didn't take her long to get to the Pizza place, and she was happy to see that Rose and fake Mickey hadn't arrived yet. This gave Hex time to plan. Not that she really needed to seeing as she had already done that. What she did need to do was try and get the Doctor alone to explain her situation to him. She guessed that he had already found out that there was something special about her by now. Knowing that she wouldn't really get a chance to eat later, Hex ordered and small meal and quickly ate it, finishing and cleaning up just before Rose and fake Micky walked in and sat down at her table. Rose sat next to Hex while Micky sat across from them.
Hex immediately noticed the way that Micky's skin was shiny and that he had a grin fixed on his face. In fact, Hex thought that it was so obvious that Micky was a fake that she wondered how no one else had noticed it yet. Rose greeted Hex but fake Micky didn't say a word. Must still be working on speech patterns. It'll start talking any moment. Rose ordered some food for them, except for Hex who claimed not to be too hungry. The whole time Hex kept a hand in her pocket, holding onto her sonic.
"Do you two think I should try the hospital? Suki said they had jobs going in the canteen" Rose said. "Nah, I don't like hospitals" Hex said, still keeping an eye on fake Micky. "So, where did you meet this Doctor?" fake Micky asked, the question seemingly coming out of nowhere, except Hex knew exactly why he asked it. "Not so important at the moment" Hex quickly said. "Because I reckon it started back at the shop, am I right? Did he have something to do with that?" fake Micky continued as if he hadn't heard Hex. "No" both girls replied simultaneously. "Come on" fake Micky encouraged. Hex said "No" at the same time as Rose said "Sort of". Hex groaned at Rose's reply and dropped her head in the one free hand that wasn't holding onto her sonic in her pocket which she was now fiddling with nervously.
"What was he doing there?" fake Micky asked, now solely focusing on Rose. Looks like he realised that he wouldn't be getting any answers from me. "I'm not going on about it, Micky. Really, I'm not, because, I know it sounds daft, but I don't think it's safe. I think he's dangerous" Rose argued, not liking the way the conversation was going. "But you can trust me, sweetheart. Babe-sugar-babe-sugar. You can tell me anything. Tell me about the Doctor and what he's planning, and I can help you, Rose. Because that's all I really want to do, sweetheart-babe-babe-sugar-sweetheart" fake Micky argued. Seriously, how do you not notice the voice? "What're you doing that for?" Rose asked.
"Your champagne" the Doctor said. Hex looked up to him and gave him a huge grin, causing him to look at her strangely again. Hex gestured with her head towards fake Micky, silently telling him to concentrate. "We didn't order any champagne. Where's the Doctor?" fake Micky asked, still completely focused on Rose. "Madam, your champagne" the Doctor tried again. "It's not ours. Micky, what is it? What's wrong" Rose reached out a hand towards fake Micky but before she could touch him, Hex shot out her free hand and grabbed hers. "I don't think that's such a good idea" Hex hissed, so that only Rose could hear her. Poor Rose just looked completely confused. "I need to find out how much you know, so where is he?" fake Micky continued. "Doesn't anybody want this champagne?" The Doctor asked, now starting to sound a little fed up that no one was paying him any attention.
"Look we didn't order it" fake Micky said, finally looking up at the Doctor. "Ah. Gotcha" fake Micky said, an evil smile now plastered on his face. The Doctor didn't seem to care and just started shaking the bottle. "Don't mind me. I'm just toasting the happy couple. On the house!" the Doctor said before releasing the cork which flies into fake Micky's forehead. By this time Hex had already pushed Rose from out of the booth and pulled her behind her, so that Hex was between fake Micky and Rose.
Fake Micky eventually just spits the cork out, causing Rose to freak out a little while Hex scanned the restaurant for all exits and fire alarms. "Anyway" fake Micky said, before turning his hand into some kind of mallet and destroying the table. "Rose, get the fire alarm by the door, we need to get everyone out of here" Hex whispered into Rose's ear over all the shouting customers. Rose glanced at Hex and nodded before running off to the door where the fire alarm was. In the meantime Hex had made her way to the kitchen doors while the doctor pulled off fake Micky's head. While people are running through the front door, the Doctor goes over to Rose, grabbing her by the arm and running through the kitchen door with her, which Hex was already holding open for them. Hex followed closely behind the Doctor and Rose, screwdriver in hand just in case.
The trio then exited through the back exit with the body still following. Hex closes the door behind her and seals the door with her sonic before the Doctor gets a chance to. "Open the gate! Use your sonic. Come on!" Rose shouts, having run past the Tardis to the gate. "Why don't you ask your friend?" the Doctor asked, a little upset that he was beaten to sealing the door. "She doesn't let me near it since I accidently got the TV stuck to German channels. She had to translate for mum while fixing it for a whole day" Rose explained.
"Tell you what, let's go in here instead" the Doctor said, going over to the Tardis and unlocking it. Hex started fangirling on the inside as she started dragging Rose towards the blue box. "We can't hide inside a wooden box. It's going to get us! Doctor!" Rose panicked as the Auton started denting the door. Rose looked around again, before letting Hex drag her into the Tardis. Hex waits inside while Rose runs back out to have a look around the exterior of the box. Hi Sexy. Hex spoke to the Tardis in her mind. Hello Alexis. The Tardis replied. Hex hadn't expected actual words and beamed up at the ceiling. This could get very interesting. Hex was sure she could drive the Tardis with the information in her mind, and couldn't wait to get a chance to try it out.
Rose ran into the Tardis again, closing the doors behind her. "It's going to follow us!" Rose exclaimed. "The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get through that door, and believe me, they've tried. Now, shut up a minute" the Doctor said. Rose was looking up at the Tardis in awe. "Hex, you're the genius, hoe does this work?" Rose whispered to Hex. "It's a different dimension attached to the exterior. By stepping through the doors we actually entered another dimension" Hex tried to explain in a whisper. Of course she knew how it worked more or less. After all, she had managed to accomplish it on a smaller scale with her isomorphic pocket in her bag.
The Doctor was running round the console attaching things to the head he had brought with him. "You see, the arm was too simple, but the head's perfect. I can use it to trace the signal back to the original source" the Doctor said, finishing with the head and turning to face the two girls while leaning against the console. "Right. Where do you want to start" The Doctor asked, folding his arms across his chest. "Er, the inside's bigger than the outside?" Rose asked while Hex said "It's a different dimension". The Doctor quickly glanced at Hex before replying with a "yes". "It's alien" Rose stated. "Yeah" "Are you alien?" "Yes. It that all right?" the Doctor asked, looking at Rose and then Hex. Rose said "Yeah" while Hex nodded with a huge grin. It's more than all right actually. Not that I'm ever going to tell him that. "It's called the Tardis, this thing. S. That's Time And Relative Dimensions In Space" the Doctor explained. Rose burst into tears. Hex let Rose and the Doctor continue their little chat, watching the head instead. Rose was talking when it started to melt; "They copied him…" "Um. It's melting" Hex interrupted, pointing at the head on the console. The Doctor spins around to where Hex was pointing and rushed over to the head saying "Oh, no, no, no, no, no!" The Doctor starts the Tardis, hoping to follow the signal before it completely fades.
