The Time Lord, The Witch, and The Police Box

Prologue

In a galaxy far far away, on a distant planet a sound could be heard. It was the sound of the universe. If one would follow this sound they would find a strange blue box materialize into thin air. And out of this box two people would immerge from it. A tall thin man in a brown pinstripe suit and light brown overcoat smiling like a maniac, holding the hand of a pretty young woman dressed in the style of a teenager in the late 20th Century.

The Doctor said, "Here we are. Molto bene."

Hermione asked, "Where is here?"

The Doctor smiled, "When would also be the appropriate question."

Hermione smiled at his showing off.

The Doctor said, "We are currently six thousand years in your future. On the planet Midnight."

The Doctor led her to a giant window showing the planet the Tardis landed on.

The view took Hermione's breath away. Beautiful did not give the planet justice. The view was a landscape made entirely out of beautiful purple diamonds.

Hermione asked, "Can we go out there?"

The Doctor sighed, "Unfortunately no. You see Midnight has no atmosphere due to the destruction of its sun which now gives off Xtonic Radiation."

Hermione grinned, "Do you always use these big words to impress the girls?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about Miss Granger." The Doctor lied pretty lamely.

He looked out the window and regained his Professor demeanor.

He said, "Xtonic is a type of radiation spreading galvanic radiation and extremely harmful to all forms of known life. It would reduce you into dust within a second."

Hermione laughed, "How long would you last Mr. Time Lord?"

The Doctor laughed, "Thirty seconds easy. Thirty five if I really tried."

He grabbed her hand and led her down the hallway.

As they walked the Doctor explained, "Despite the hostile environment, the Leisure Palace Company turned into a leisure planet. No life has ever existed here before that."

Hermione asked, "Not that I'm complaining but why are we here?"

The Doctor said, "Thought you could do with a bit of relaxation. Personally I just like the chips."

Hermione asked, "You brought us thousands years into the future and across the galaxy for chips?"

The Doctor said with a smile, "And your relaxation."

The pair entered the Leisure Palace's main entrance. The Doctor walked up to the counter and held out his Psychic Paper.

"Hello I'm the Doctor. I won the contest."

The receptionist, a young women fresh off the shuttle from Saturn, asked, "Contest?"

The Doctor said, "Yes contest. I won it. Hello"

The receptionist said, "What contest?"

The Doctor said, "Well… my companion here is always subscribing to those Celebrity Fashion Holos. I was about to dump them out when one opened to a page showing the chance to win an all expense paid trip to the wonderful world of Midnight. All I had to do was spend fifteen credits to mail it in. By the way, is there a chance of being reimbursed that fifteen credits?"

The receptionist said, "I'm not aware of a Contest."

The Doctor flashed a smile, "Well as you can see right there, there was one and I won."

The receptionist said, "Well you do have the signed name of Miss Leisure of Leisure Palace so I guess its ok."

The Doctor smiled at Hermione

The receptionist asked, "How long will you be staying with us?"

The Doctor said, "Well…. you never know. I guess a month."

The receptionist typed on her computer.

"Ok that is in order. Now what are your names?"

The Doctor smiled, "I'm John Smith and this is…."

Hermione cut in, "I'm Jane hello."

The receptionist said, "Well that all in order. Here is your keycard. Take the elevator to the top floor the Honeymoon Suite is the first door on the right."

The Doctor stuttered, "Honeymoon? We're not together we're just friends."

Hermione shook her head. Men, she thought, even if they were aliens.

She grabbed the keycard, "Thank you." And lead the Doctor to the elevator.

The Doctor said, "What just happened?"

Hermione answered, "I think we just got hitched. Going up?"
