A/N: Hello, this is Tigergirl3000 and first, I would like to apologize for the long wait for this chapter. Second, I would like to say that I have NOT abandoned this story. When I began working on this story with Qwerty, I did not realize that we would take forever to update, and now that she is unable to continue, it has been very difficult for me to continue with the story. I am going to say right now, that i can't guarantee that updates will be regular, so i can't promise anything. I can say that I will TRY to make them regular, but i can't say that they will be. I also apologize ahead of time if the writing isn't the same as before, because the earlier chapters were written between two people so the writing style might be different. And I think that covers everything. Now, onto the story.
I wandered back to the control room and let my feet take me while my mind drifted. Just as my mind was getting to a point I didn't want to revisit, I was in the console room. The Doctor was standing by the door, and there was a picnic basket by his feet. He was wearing the same suit he was always wearing, and he looked extremely proud of himself. "From that look on your face, I'm going to guess you got us where you wanted to get us," I stated, causing a wide grin to stretch across his features. "Well then, where are we?" I asked him. His only response was to open the door and step outside.
I followed him to the door, and looked Doctor had disappeared, and all I could see for miles was grass, and on the very edge of the horizon, a cluster of trees. Scattered through out the grass, there were bunches of flowers in all sorts of colors, and in the distance, I could see the beginning of a sunrise. "It's beautiful," I said as I stepped outside. The Doctor just grabbed my hand, startling me, and pulled me around behind the TARDIS. There was a single tree, and beneath it, the Doctor had aid out a blanket, and the basket was sitting on a corner of it.
I sat down on the edge of the basket, and look around in awe. The Doctor plopped down beside me and began to unpack the basket he had brought with him. He had a couple of sandwiches and a couple bags of crisps. When he pulled out a container with berries, he crawled onto his hands and knees and placed them in the grass beside the blanket, and then sat back down beside me. He handed me a sandwich, and I took it and started eating. While we were eating, the Doctor and I chatted about nonsense. I learned that we were in what would eventually become the state of Georgia in the United States. "But I've gone far enough back, that there shouldn't be anyone to bother us, except for the wildlife," he said, and gestured toward the berries he had set out.
There was a group of three deer approaching it, and from the looks of it, they were a family, as there was a male, a female, and a fawn. I immediately stood up, and approached the deer. Surprisingly, they didn't immediately run off, but rather the fawn let me pet its head, and the doe just sniffed my pockets as if looking for food. Eventually though, the deer left, and the Doctor decided that we should go on an adventure somewhere.
"Maybe we could go to the library, and I could read the first Harry Potter book to you," He stated, as if he was seriously contemplating it. I shrugged. "That sounds nice, Doctor." I helped him gather up all of the picnic supplies, and we went back inside to do just that.
Ok, so I know this is kind of short, but I will try to make them longer. I do have some school work to do, and I also have my own fanfictions to work on, so I will try to update this soon, but I can't say when.
