Chapter 10

It was quite the day having an alien come and visit you at your house to tell you all about your long lost sister who he was married too. He had spent hours with her talking about how he met Amy and Rory and all their adventures in the TARDIS all through space and time before they tragically passed away.

She hated the sound of death although there have been times where she had come so close to death on her many adventures. She knew eventually the truth will come out about how all three of them passed away. She rather hoped that it would just slip out of the Doctors mouth but he was keeping it well hidden even with the numerous cups of tea Valerie was offering to him.

Valerie remembered quietly asking him "Doctor, i know this is hard for you but i think i should know how they passed away or is this something i'm going to have to find out for myself?". The sniffling Doctor wiped his tears "No! NO! NO! NO! Your quite right you have a right to know but i should warn you i am not going to be a walk in the park!" The Doctor honestly informed her.

Valerie had remained sitting on the edge of her chair as she listen to the Doctor explaining how her parents and her sister died. She now know how much pain the Doctor was in and understand why it was difficult to tell her "So my parents Amy and Rory got sent back by a Wheeping Angel to the 1930's and never could return to the present time because of a time paradox and River died in a Library saving people that were trapped in a computer!" she asks the Doctor.

The Doctor nodded. She remembers being speechless there was so much to take in. The news was both sad and tragic. "I've said too much!" the Doctor said as he stood up and began leaving the room "Ah thank you for your lovely tea Valerie but i better run! All of time and space to protect! Duty calls!". " Doctor" Valerie had one more question up her sleeve "Would i be able to travel back in time to meet my parents and River before they pass away? I can travel using my Magic Motorbike!".

The Doctor looked at her shocked and simply tells her "Oh no no no! On that amazing vehicle? You will need a TARDIS for that! Particularlly for all the coordinates, shields and time energy and...". Valerie stood up ever so quick and put her hands on her hips to cut him off "Excuse me good man but my Magic Motorbike has all that or we can simply take your TARDIS! You choose, i know you have been dying to give my Magic Motorbike a try!". She looks at the expression on his face " or is there something you are not telling me?" she gentley asks him.

"I am worried about you getting hurt or worse Valerie, now that i have met you, i do not wish to lose you too! I have lost so many friends in the past and i do not wish to lose yet another one!" he quickly tells her. Valerie looks out her window and fixes her eyes on the TARDIS "How many friends have you lost?" Valerie quickly whispers to him. The Doctor looks down at the floor and simply says "Many" to her.

"I promise you, you will be safe on my Magical Motorbike and i'll protect you! You are after all my newly found Brother in Law!" Valerie told the Doctor with a cheeky smile. "Brother in Law! Wow never been called that before!" The Doctor answers to her with a giggle. Valerie was pleased to see a smile on Doctor's face. Suddenly there was a sound of a telephone ringing. It wasn't a telephone in her house it sounded like it was coming from outside.

"Oh that must be me! The TARDIS phone is ringing!" the Doctor cried "Someone is calling you?" Valerie asked in amazement, "You better ya! Please excuse me!" said as he politey excused himself and left the room to answer the call. The Doctor had gone outside to answer his TARDIS phone which was hiding behind the sign on the front door. He opened it like a cupboard and answered the phone.

Valerie had followed him trying not to listen into his conversation with who ever it was. She gazed at the TARDIS then looked over to Bike who animatedly winked at her. She winked back hitting that it was almost time for another adventure!. "Ah Valerie?" she heard the Doctor cry "Yes Doctor?" she answered back to him as she says him hold the phone in one hand while the other was covering the mouth piece "I'm sorry i'm going to have to leave you, i have her royal highess Queen Victoria on the line and she was requested i see her immediately!".

Valerie was stunned however words came out of her mouth "Queen Victoria? You mean...", "Yes the real Queen Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland of the 1880's!" he happily tells her. "Wow, thats amazing Doctor! What an opporuntity it would be to meet her! Why does she need to see you Doctor?" Valerie asked him. The Doctor went back on the phone to ask as to why she needed him to see her. Valerie looked over towards Bike again.

Then Valerie hears the Doctor answering to the phone call "Yes, yes, oh may yes your majesty, i'll come right away! See you very soon your majesty!" before he hangs up. "It appears that the newly crowned Queen's dog Dash has gone missing and she has explained that some weird looking creatures have appeared! I must go on her request right away!" the Doctor explains the Valerie.

Valerie nodded as she understood that the Doctor had to go. He walks over to her and places his left hand on her right shoulder "Your welcome to come with me" he slowly asks with a smile. Valerie looked up at him as she was flattered by the kind offer but then she just simply looked again towards Bike "Oh Doctor, one day i would love to travel with you and join you on your adventures but not right now! she quietly answered to him.

The Doctor smiled as he understood her wishes. He then looks over towards Bike too "Someday, i'd love to go for a whirl on your Magic Motorbike and experience the life of Valerie Frizzle!" he tells her. Valerie smiled "I'd like that! You will be most welcome! she happily answered back to him with a gigantic smile and her earrings lighting up. The Doctor seemed to notice the earrings in her ears "Wow, thats amazing how did you make your earrings do that?" he asks "Oh its, its what's that word that you told me that my sister River says ah...ah...spoilers!" she answered with a giggle.

Valerie appreicated that he had noticed her earrings, that she had just put on when she followed him outside. They were her question mark earrings "Funny they remind me of something or someone!" The Doctor says quietly "Anyway i better get going! Goodbye Valerie! We will meet again i'm sure!". Valerie acknowledged his goodbye by waving and nodding "For sure Doctor! Farewell and thank you for your time!" she wished him.

Before The Doctor climbs into the TARDIS, he stops and tells Valerie one last thing in a very serious and stern voice "Oh lastly one another thing, Valerie! Please promise me that if you decide to go looking for your parents and sister to remain hidden as you could alter and make a time rift, watch them from afar if you must and do not interfear!". This broke Valerie's heart, if she did go looking for them, she could not meet them or touch them or even hug them "They will never know i exist?" she cries out to the Doctor but he had already jumped into the TARDIS and began revving the engines.

She stood there watching as the TARDIS made its get away. She could feel the wind that it was making on her face as it dried a tear in her eye. It was very rare that she cried. Normally she is stronger and controls her emotions but on this case it was impossible "Goodbye Doctor and thank you!" she whispered on her breath as the wind died down.

Suddenly Bike honks its horn to grab her attention as it wheeled itself towards her. She looks down at it and smiled "Looks like the Doctor doesn't like goodbyes, well Bike looks like you and i have a great adventure upon us! Time to meet my family!". Bike makes a long beep sound and presented to her a concern face using its head-light eyes and bumper bar, Valerie smiles as she quietly whispers back to it "I know Bike right after we inform the Frizzle family about who i really am! Wait till Fiona hears this that i am not a Frizzle but a Pond or a Williams!".
