Chapter Two: The New Tardis and New Companions
The Doctor's POV
I woke up groggy and grumpy. The sun was streaming through a window and hit my eyes, blinding me. I groaned and sat up. I found myself in a queen sized bed that had black sheets, black and red pillow cases, and a red duvet with black designs. I looked around the room I was in and saw it was a nice room. The walls were painted a light grey and the ceiling was white. There was a recliner near the window and a side table. On the other side of the room there was a desk that had a lamp, a pencil cup, and other required things. But I saw that it also had a calligraphy set. Nice. Next to the desk was a small bookcase that had a small reading selection. Then there was a door that led to a loo.
At the foot of the bed was a trunk. A top the trunk, I saw my other clothes were clean and neatly folded and the small basket of my things.
I pushed the duvet away and slid out of bed. My barefeet flinched at the feeling of the cold hardwood floor, but I just dealt with it. I grabbed my other clothes and went to the bathroom.
I turned the light on and saw that it already had everything I would need. I put my clothes on top of the toilet cover and looked in the mirror. What I saw was very unattractive. My eyes were red and puffy, there were tear tracks under my eyes and on my cheeks. My lips were chapped and the skin on it was peeling off.
I quickly looked away and started to undress. I took the towel that was hanging on the rack and wrapped it around my body, then turned on the shower setting to warm. Nothing like a good scrub. Once I was done cleansing myself of the grime that was missed yesterday from the crash, I turned the water off and dried myself off. Then I changed into my regular clothes. My precious bowtie. I also made sure to add my stetson.
I kept the jacket off, taking a mental note to put it on later. I exited the bathroom and went to the small basket that held all my things, putting them back into my jacket and pants pocket. I patted down my pockets when I realized something was missing. Looking around the room, I spotted my sonic on the bedside table. Grabbing it, I put it in my jacket pocket.
Once I saw myself ready, I exited the room and went out. Looking at my watch, I saw it was 7 o'clock. Very early. Oh well, I guess I'll just whip up breakfast for the others. After all, they did good for me, I'll just have to repay them.
Easily finding my way to the kitchen, I put my tweed jacket on a chair nearby, and my stetson. I went to the refrigerator and opened it, pulling out eggs, butter, breakfast sausages, and bacon. I put those three on the kitchen island. Walking over to the pantry, I found Bisquick pancake mix, maple syrup, bread, muffins, and bagels. I brought those as well.
I made some toast, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. I set the table and put one pitcher full of orange juice, one of water, and one for milk. I each plate of sausages, bacon, eggs, and toast in the middle of the table as well as the bottle of maple syrup and the salt and pepper shakers.
Once I saw that the table was set for everyone else, I grabbed my own plate of food and ate at the kitchen island reading the morning paper.
Ten minutes passed by and I finally heard footsteps. The first person to enter the kitchen was Erik and Charles. They stopped once they saw the food at the table and me eating at the kitchen island.
"Good morning, Charles. Morning Erik." I said smiling.
"Did you do all this yourself?" Charles asked. I nodded grinning.
"Oh yeah. Since you guys helped me, I decided to repay you. So no arguing, eat your breakfast and wait for the others." I said pointing my fork at them. They looked to each other before shrugging and taking a seat. They grabbed whatever portions of what they wanted to eat and dug in.
"Mm, this is really good, Doctor." Erik commented eating more.
"Why thank you, Erik." I said going back to the morning papers. Then I realized that the others are still asleep. "I think I'll go wake the others."
"Okay, Alex and Sean share a room. It's room number 11." Charles informed me pointing to the door that led to the hallway.
"Thanks." I said before walking out. It wasn't hard to find room 11. It was right around the corner from the kitchen.
I slowly opened the door and quietly walk in. There were two beds on either side of the room. Sean was on the right and Alex was on the left. Alex was a peaceful sleeper who just stayed in one place and kept his mouth closed. On the other hand, Sean was a loud snorer with half his body hanging on the bed. I think I saw a bit of drool on his lip.
Smirking to myself easily, I brought my hands together getting ready to clap. Then all hell broke loose.
"FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!" I screamed while clapping. They gave a yelp and scrambled out of bed. They stopped moving frantically when they saw me at the foot of their beds, smirking evilly with my arms crossed.
"What the hell, Doctor? You trying to kill us?" Sean asked scratching his head.
"Nope, but I'm dying of laughter just looking at your sleeping attire, Sean." I said pointing up and down at him. Alex looked to him and grinned.
Sean was currently dressed in only pink Spongebob boxer shorts and white knee socks. Sean tried to cover himself and quickly grabbed the blanket on his bed. Alex and I were laughing right where we stand.
"Get dressed, you blokes. I made a heaping size for breakfast, and Erik said it was really good. I think Charles and Erik are going to eat it all before you even get to the kitchen." As I said this, they immediately scrambled to get into proper clothing. With a satisfied smirk, I walked out of their room and back to the kitchen.
Once in the kitchen, I saw that Charles and Erik were laughing uncontrollably.
"You heard what happened back there?" I asked jabbing my thumb in the direction of the boys room. They just nodded and continued laughing. I grinned and went back to my place at the island, taking my jacket with me and putting it on my chair.
Without turning around, I took my sonic out and pointed it in the direction of the coffee maker, turning it on. I heard the sound of the coffee starting to be made.
Then both Alex and Sean decided to barge in. Sean was still adjusting his belt and Alex was fixing his hair. I rolled my eyes and muttered 'teenage boys' into my cup of juice. They both took a seat and dug in, Alex at least had manners while Sean was a pig. Oh well.
Raven came in wearing a nice green sun dress and brown gladiator sandals. Her hair was half down and the other half braided in the middle. She took a seat next to Charles and Alex and ate breakfast.
"Oh my god, this is really good, Doctor. Were you a chef or something?" Sean asked.
"Well no, but I did get lessons from a cook in the kitchen of Queen Elizabeth's staff. Nicest person that cook was, her name was Wilma." I said taking a bite out of the bacon that I dipped in my orange juice.
"Well, you are a pretty good cook, Doctor. I can't even make breakfast taste this good." Raven commented taking a bite out of her pancakes.
"Good morning fellow mansion residers." Hank said walking into the kitchen.
"Morning Hank, my man." I responded finishing my breakfast. "Did you hear the commotion going on around here?" I ask innocently. Hank just chuckles while shaking his head.
"Yes I did. Gee, I wonder what happened?" Hank asked sarcastically. He was stroking his chin as if a beard were there and looked to Alex and Sean who were blushing and looking down at their plates.
Still in my seat, I turn to my right, lean down hiding my face behind the counter and quietly bust out laughing, banging my fist on the counter. Calming down, I sit up, still grinning, and adjust my bowtie.
"I see you got the bowtie back." Raven commented.
"Yes I did. And I thank whoever got my clothes and stuff back to me. I put them all back where they belong." I said patting my pants and jacket pockets.
"How did all that fit in there?" Sean asked with his mouth full.
"They're bigger on the inside." I said in a 'duh' tone. They all just raised their eyebrows at me. I just shrugged and said simply, "Time Lord science, my friend."
After everyone finished breakfast and all the dishes were clean, I looked to my wristwatch and saw that it was 7:45. Then I remembered yesterday's events.
"Ahh," I exclaimed clapping my hands. I went to my seat and quickly put on my tweed jacket. "I'm such a goofus."
"Why are you a 'goofus'?" Alex asked. I just pointed out the window hoping he'll get the message. He just looked confused. I sighed.
"The Tardis, remember when I said the reconstructing only took three hours? She should be finished by now." I reached into my pockets and found the key which was glowing and it was very warm.
"Who's ready to see the new Sexy?" I didn't wait for a reply, just sped out of the kitchen. I heard the others following behind. "Allons-y!"
I finally made it outside through the front door. I sped up to the Tardis and put my hands on the doors.
"Okay, Sexy. What have you got for me now?" I put the key through the slot and slowly opened it. Once I heard the lock click, I opened it to reveal the inside.
Everything was silver and blue. Around the area of the center console was a walkway with a few stairs. I saw that there was a way that led under the center console. A top the console were three huge round things that spun. The top went to the right, the middle went to the left, and the bottom went to the right as well.
I grinned and spun around to take a better look. I saw the others follow in a look around in wonder. I mean, I did too, it's beautiful. I spread my arms out in a welcome motion.
"Hello, supers. Welcome to the new and improved, and still as sexy Tardis. Haha, isn't she beautiful." I exclaimed rubbing the edge of the center console.
"This is amazing." Raven said twirling around.
"Now, I promised Hank here that I would show you guys around. Now, be cautious this place is a maze. So all you have to do is tell the Tardis to lead you to any room or wherever someone else is and she'll make arrows appear on the floor to help navigate you to your destination. Good? Good. Follow along. What do you want to see first?"
"Can I see your library?" Hank asked enthusiastically.
"Of course, I have a somewhat medium reading selection. But don't worry if you get lost, the Tardis will lead you right to the library's entrance without you knowing. She just wants to ensure our safety. Now, Sexy, please direct us to the library."
Red arrows appeared on the floor pointing the way. I smiled and followed the arrows, the others close behind. There were a few twists and turns around corners here and there until they finally made it to a door with a huge red glowing button.
"Hank, will you do the honors?" I said pointing to the button. He looked unsure but I nodded in encouragement, then he pushed the button.
The doors open with a whoosh revealing millions of bookcases with tons of books, big and small, red and blue, old and new. Books from the past, present, and future, some even from other planets or realms.
"Holy shit!" Hank exclaimed. Everyone except me looked to Hank surprised.
"Did Hank just cuss?" Sean asked.
"Hank just cussed." Alex said.
"What is this the first time Hank has ever said a swear word?" I asked curious. Charles looked to me and nodded. 'Oh well, there's always a first to everything. Like how and old friend of mine said the Tardis was 'smaller on the outside'. She even asked if there was a kitchen." I said rocking on the balls of my feet.
I watched as Hank glided his fingers on the spines of some of the books with interest. He read the titles of each book with a look of wonder on his face.
"If you want to Hank," I said smiling. "You can stay here for until you want to leave. I don't mind at all. Just ask the Tardis to take you to us once you're done." I said. Hank looked to me like a kid on Christmas.
"Really?" I nodded and made a 'shoo' motion with my hand. He walked to me and gave me a huge bear hug spinning me around. My arms were locked in place when he hugged me, so I couldn't hug him back. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." Then he set me down on his feet and ran off to explore.
We all looked to him shocked. He sounds very eager to be here.
"Um, okay then. Where to next?" I ask looking to where Hank disappeared to.
"Um, Hank mentioned something about a swimming pool in here." Sean said.
"Is this you asking me if you want to swim?" I ask.
"No... Maybe…. Yes!" He exclaim. I thought for a minute, what's the worst that could happen.
"Okay then. But first I'll take you to my closet, you'll need a swimsuit. Anyone else care to join?" Alex and Raven raised their hands. "Great. Tardis," I pointed to the sky. "To the closet."
More red arrows appeared and we followed them to one of the many platforms of the huge spiral closet. Once Raven saw this, she squealed and ran to one of the clothing racks.
"This place is huge! Is that a spacesuit?" Sean asked.
"Yes it is. I also have armor from the medieval times." I mentioned.
"Wow, is that a samurai's armor? The fine craftsmanship. This metal suit is amazing." Erik said grazing his fingers over the chestplate.
"Now, swimsuits. You three follow me to the third floor for what we need. Erik and Charles, you can explore on your own if you like. If you want to know the different rooms, just go to a blank wall and ask for a list of rooms and you can ask Sexy to lead you there. And if you need to find us, just ask the Tardis." Then I motioned for Raven, Alex, and Sean to follow me.
I walked up the spiral staircase to the third level where the tropical wear was. Men's apparel was on the left side and womens on the right.
"Go ahead and choose. There's an entrance to the dressing rooms right behind the racks at that gap over there." I said pointing to said gap where five different doors were.
We all grabbed what we chose to wear. I chose a blue bikini and black swim shorts. To cover myself until I get into the water, I grabbed a white hoodie. I got sandals to match my swimsuit and a towel that looked coincidently like the Tardis's front door.
Exiting the dressing room, I saw Alex waiting outside wearing camouflage swim shorts and a short sleeve hoodie. He had the same towel as mine in his hand.
"Hey." He said smiling to me.
"Hey." I responded, putting my clothes to the side. "How do you like exploring the Tardis, even though we didn't see much."
"It's great. There are so many things to see. I don't think I've ever seen or heard Hank swear before. That's a first." I laughed at his statement, Alex joined in as well.
"I would be surprised too, but I haven't known him long I'm afraid. But it was quite a surprise when he gave me a bone crushing bear hug and spun me around. That I did not expect." I said.
"I agree. Hank is usually the shy type of all of us. It came as a surprise when he looked that excited and did that."
"Yeah, he does seem like a shy type." I commented. Raven and Sean chose this time to show up. Raven was wearing a pink bikini but had a grey skirt covering the bottom. Sean was wearing red board shorts and an orange swim shirt.
"Ready?" I asked. They nodded and Sean decided to yell out:
"Hey Sexy, can you please lead us to the pool?" The Tardis' response was to show the red arrows and lead us.
We finally bae it to a swimming pool the size of half the mansion. Next to the pool was a hot tub that could fit thirteen people; a bar with drinks alcoholic and nonalcoholic. There was also a refrigerator of snacks and the likes.
One the other side of the room was a huge closet filled with pool toys. Water guns, water tubes, floaties, goggles, all the likes.
"Whoa, this is the biggest pool I've ever seen!" Sean exclaimed. Her threw his towel and shoes at a nearby chair and jumped in. "Whoo hoo." He yelled doing a cannonball into the pool. The impact was so huge, he managed to splash Alex and I. Thought Alex used half his body to shield the water from me, but to no avail it failed.
"You little dollophead. You're gonna get it now." I said taking off my jacket and sandals, putting my towel down at a nearby seat. I walked to the closet and grabbed the biggest water gun, which was already filled luckily.
I stepped up to the edge of the pool and started to blast at Sean. He tried to block the water but failed. I hit him in the eye a few times. I just kept blasting him until the water gun emptied.
"Ha, your water gun is out! Score one for Banshee!" Sean yelled pointing to himself.
"Oh yeah, well I just earned ten points for hitting you in the eye that many times." I retorted back.
"BURN!" Alex said with Raven cheering on. I just smirked victoriously and held the water gun at my side. That's when Sean noticed what I was wearing and whistled.
"Dayum, girl. I think you look smoking, why don't you hop in the water and cool off with me." Sean said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Sorry, but I think I'll just sit in the jacuzzi." I said walking around the pool to where I wanted to go. Behind me I saw Raven dive in and both her and Sean start a splash competition.
After a while of relaxing in the hot water, Alex came in only wearing his shorts. And from the look of his six pack, it's obvious he worked out.
"Like what you see?" Alex asked sitting back at the edge of the jacuzzi. I blushed a little but ignored and put a smirk on my face.
"Maybe, but I've seen better on most famous wrestlers." I teased laughing. He feigned hurt and put a hand to his heart. That just made me laugh more, and soon Alex joined in.
"So tell me, who is the Doctor? What are her hobbies? Favorite book? Favorite musician? Favorite TV show? Tell me who are you?" Alex said waving his hands around slightly.
"Well," I said pausing for effect. "My favorite hobbies are obviously traveling, but most of the time I like to go to the arcade in either the Tardis or anywhere the Tardis takes me. My favorite book, I prefer something like Oliver Twist or the Lord of the Rings. My favorite musician and good friend would be Elvis Presley. Nicest man ever. My favorite telly show would be the Munsters." I said answering each question he just asked.
"I love Lord of the Rings, I didn't take you for a fan. But appearances can be deceiving. Who is your favorite character or characters?" Alex asked.
"My favorites would be Legolas, Gimli, Merry, and Pippin." I listed counting the fingers on my hand.
"Can you explain why?"
"Legolas because he is wise, skilled, and smashing at archery. Gimli because he's funny, gullible, and he has a cool beard. Merry and Pippin because they have a brotherly connection like I did with my friend River Song. She was like a sister to me. What about you? Who are your favorite characters and why?"
"Well, mine are Gandalf, Sam, and Aragorn. Gandalf because he's a wizard and he's badass. Sam because he's selfless and knows what's right. Aragorn because he knows his role as a leader and a fighter. He's strategic and wise in his own unique way." Alex said.
"Wow, that's deep." I said. Alex laughed a little which made me smile. I realised how quiet it was and looked to the pool to see that Raven and Sean are gone. "Where's Raven and Sean?" I asked. Alex looked around too.
I stepped out of the hot tub with Alex following. I walked back to my jacket and towel and pulled out my sonic. Pressing the button and waving it around the area. I clicked the top open and it told me where they were.
"By the name of the Lord President of Gallifrey. Those buggers snuck out leaving us alone. They went to the arcade room. Without me, I could definitely beat them at Pac-Man." I said aggravated. Alex laughed at my annoyance, so I slapped his arm. "It's not funny. Going out to play games without me, the Doctor. Psh, never in my life have I felt so jealous."
"Hey, maybe there was a reason why they left us alone. And God knows what that reason is." He said pausing for a moment. "We should probably get changed out of these wet clothes."
"Yeah, we should. There's a washer on each level in the closet so we don't have to worry about having to walk around the whole Tardis to dry these." We dried ourselves off and grabbed our stuff. I called the Tardis to direct us back to level three of the closet.
Once we got there we got our new change of clothes, we went to the changing room and changed. The clothes I chose was a dress the Tardis made in the tailor room. It looked just like her front doors. I put the Tardis key around my neck on a chain. When the Tardis showed me the dress, I went to work and made a headband that looked like the toplight on the Tardis. wore black ballet flats to go along with it. Satisfied, I walked out and saw Alex waiting outside in jeans, a grey v-neck shirt, and a black leather jacket.
The minute he saw me, he froze and took in my appearance. At first I was worried and wondered what was the matter.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my dress?" I asked looking at the skirt.
"No it's just… You look- Wow." He managed to say. I blushed and hid my face in my hair.
"Um, thanks. You look good too." I commented. His ears turned a bright red and he smiled shyly. Being brace, I reached my hand out to him. "Shall we go to the center console. It's been about half an hour since we came in." Alex nodded and took my hand without hesitation.
At my words, the Tardis immediately flashed red arrows and led us to the center console. We got there in the nick of time. I saw that it was just us here. I let go of Alex's hand much to my wanting to keep hold of his hand, and went to the center console.
I pushed a couple buttons and flipped some switches. One side of the console flipped over like it had hinges and revealed a phonograph along with a selection of records.
"What would you like to listen to, Mr. Summers?" I asked politely waving a hand to the records. He scrolled through and pulled out a record, putting it on the phonograph. Once the music started I recognized it to be 'Devil in Disguise' by Elvis. "Excellent choice, I love this song." I started to bob my head and look through the records I had.
The song stopped halfway for some reason. Alex and I looked to each other confused until the music played again. It was still Elvis, but the song that played this time was 'Can't Help Falling In Love.' I looked to Alex and blushed looking away once we made eye contact.
He walked over to me and held his hand out.
"May I have this dance?" He asked. I smiled lightly and took his hand. Sparks flowed through my veins making me shiver. I put my other hand on his shoulder and he put his on my waist.
We started to sway for a bit to the rhythm of the music. I layed my head over his heart and he put his head on top of mine. I listened to his heartbeat and felt like this is where I should be, close to him with his arms around me.
"I don't know why I feel this way." I said softly. "It's like I should stay right here in your arms. The sound of your heartbeat comforts me. When I touched your hand, I felt sparks tingling my skin, giving me goosebumps. Why do you have this affect on me?" I asked looking up to him. He looked me in the eyes.
"I feel the same way. When you smile, my heart skips a beat. When I how upset you were then, I just wanted to hold you close, comfort you, whisper sweet nothings to you, tell you everything will be okay when I know it may never be okay. Why do you have this affect on me?" He asked. I saw how close our faces were. Our noses were almost touching, his warm breath tickling my face. Our foreheads were already touching.
I slowly leaned in closer to his face, unsure if wants me to. I saw him slightly lean closer to me. I finally closed the distance and our lips met. The kiss was soft and passionate. I've been kissed many times by men, but this. This was bliss, this was the most amazing thing I've ever felt. I put my hand on his cheek as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
We soon pulled away to take a breather, both our eyes were closed. The way he makes me feel is something I've never felt before. This is the first time I've ever showed this kind of interest in someone.
"I don't want to go to fast." I whispered, my eyes still closed. I felt his warm hand stroke my cheek.
"I understand. This is the first time I've ever liked someone, and we can go as slow as you want. I'll wait." I smiled gratefully and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in for another kiss. I felt him smile into the kiss. After a few minutes of bliss, I heard a couple whoops, claps, and whistles.
We broke apart and saw Sean, Raven, Hank, Charles, and Erik standing at the top of the staircase. Sean, Raven, and Hank were the ones cheering us on while Charles and Erik gave each other knowing smiles. I blushed Mars red and hid my face in Alex's shoulder. I could feel the vibration of his chest and knew he was laughing.
"Go Alex, whoo! Finally got the girl. I mean, she could do so much better. Someone tall, handsome, smart, strong, like me." Sean said. I rolled my eyes, taking off one of my ballet flats and throwing it at him. I grinned in success when it hit him straight in the groin.
Alex busted out laughing, and so did Erik. Charles just shook his head, but a hint of a smile was on his lips. Raven and Hank stepped back and put their hands up in surrender.
"How about a movie, everyone?" I announced. Sean grunted while getting up from the floor. Alex, Raven, Hank, Charles, and Erik all agreed. The Tardis led us to a projection room.
We all debated on what to watch until we all agreed on Monster Squad, It, The Ring, Clash of the Titans 1981, the Dark Crystal, and the Goonies. (A/N: All of there are great movies in my opinion. If you heard of them and liked them, good. If you haven't seen them, watch them now. If you hate them, go die in a hole) I recently got it from the future. It wouldn't hurt to show people from the past a movie from the future, would it? No.
Hank and Raven both sat on one of the loveseats while Alex and I sat on another, but before I sat I took off my shoes and curled up into Alex's side. Sean sat on the floor, and Charles and Erik both sat in recliners.
Watching the movie, Sean was the only one to get scared and scream like a girl when watching It and Monster Squad. Even though Monster Squad had some funny scenes, it had some parts that were scary, but not enough to make me scream and give me nightmares.
Eventually while watching Dark Crystal, my eyes started to feel heavy. Alex sensed that I was tired, and kissed my forehead.
"Sleep, I'll be here when you wake up." He whispered. I nodded and let myself fall asleep with one thought on my mind: I wish that I could have this moment for life.
