Chapter 2: The “Lost City” of Atlantis

While roaming through time and space, Esther was sitting comfortably by the steps of the main control room of the T.A.R.D.I.S reading a book, while the Doctor worked on the buttons and levers, leading the duo to their next adventure. Their last one nearly got the two of them killed by a robotic lion in the Ancient Roman Empire, ruled by a malicious emperor with a hunger for power and creating a "new age" of gladiators. "The next time we chose a planet or time period to explore, please don't let there be killer robots, Doctor" said Esther, her eyes glued to her book, "I've had enough of those since West Sussex" "Can't keep that promise, I'm afraid" said The Doctor, "But I am taking you somewhere beyond belief" "You say that last time" "Oh but this time, I mean it" The Doctor placed the switches on, sending the T.A.R.D.I.S flying through space and time, the control room shaking violently as Esther dropped her book and held onto the handle bars to prevent herself from falling. A few minutes later, the T.A.R.D.I.S comes to a stop and moves softly as if it was floating on the surface of water. "We're here!" said the Doctor, walking toward the screen hovering over the control panel, "Oh ain't she a beauty?" Esther stood up and walked over to the Doctor, looking over his shoulder to read the coordinates, "What exactly am I looking at, Doctor?" she asks, a bit concerned. The time lord smiled and grabs onto the girl's hand, dragging her to the door, opening it to reveal their location "Welcome to the Lost City of Atlantis!" he shouts with excitement, "Well technically not lost, just invisible to humans since they're not much of a fan of outsiders'' Esther tilted her head in confusion, all she could see was nothing but the water's surface and what appeared to be a giant bubble hovering over it. "I don't see anything" she said, "Are you sure the T.A.R.D.I.S landed in the right spot?" The Doctor turned his head towards Esther, standing beside her with confusion written on his face, "Of course the T.A.R.D.I.S took us to the right stop, I'm sure of it" he said, pulling out his sonic screwdriver to point at the direction of the city. It was then he realized he forgot one important thing, "Oh that's right, how could I forget?" The Doctor then repositions Esther to a different spot, gently grabs her chin with his index and thumb, slowly turning it to the right and there it was. The "Lost City" of Atlantis appeared right before Esther's eyes in the very distance. The buildings were tall and beautifully displayed, the palace stood in the very center of it with smaller buildings surrounding it and possibly flying cars along with narwhals as a means of transportation. "This is amazing!" she said with a smile, walking towards the city until the Doctor stopped her, grabbing the girl by her waist so she wouldn't fall off the edge. "Watch where you're going, for heaven's sake" said the Doctor, gently pulling her way from the edge. "How are we gonna get to the city then?" asked Esther, "There's no way we can swim across, maybe there's a boat or ship to get us there" "No boats or ships" the Doctor explained, rummaging through his coat pockets until he pulled out a ball of what appeared to be sea kelp. "Eat this" he said, handing the girl the dripping plant. Esther looked at the kelp in disgust, holding it between her index and thumb, "What is this?" she asked, trying her best not to vomit at the horrid smell. "This is a special kelp that allows you to breath underwater" the Doctor explained, "Think of it as if you're eating sushi, without the fish, or the rice, or the soy sauce" "What about you?" "Don't need it. I'm a timelord, remember?  This is nothing for me" The Doctor stuffed his hands into his pockets before leaping off the edge with a call, "ALLONS-Y!!!" followed by a splash. Esther watched as the timelord made a jump for the water down below before her eyes turned back to the kelp in her hand. She hesitates before shoving it into her mouth, forcing herself to chew on it a bit before swallowing it down without vomiting. The taste of salt hit her taste buds hard, even when it swam down her throat, nearly choking. Once the girl is calm, Esther walks towards the edge and steps off yelling "Look out below!" until her feet hit the water.

This water was not like the ocean, that was for sure. The moment Esther entered the water, it felt as if she was being dragged to the bottom of the sea with an anchor tied to her ankle for good measure. Bubbles surrounded her body and blocked her vision on the way down, she could hear the Doctor just a few feet below saying "What took you so long?" through the bubbles. While the time lord landed gracefully on his feet, Esther landed harshly on her bum, feeling the sand cloud up around her. The moment the girl starts to float, she panicked while the Doctor remained unfazed, "Just relax, love" he said, holding the girl's hand for support, "Once you plant your feet to the sand, you should be fine" As instructed, Esther takes a deep breath, her body starts to relax and weighs her down to the ground, her feet making a soft stomp onto the sand beneath her. "There you go" said the Doctor, adjusting his jacket, "Come along then, we mustn't keep her majesty waiting" "Her majesty?" asked Esther through the bubbles, "Atlantis has a Queen?" "Of course Atlantis has a Queen, otherwise Atlantis wouldn't be in hiding" With that, the Doctor began to stroll down the bottom of the "sea" while Esther took baby steps to not float again and get used to the sand beneath her feet.

The walk along the sand felt like taking Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon, but the Doctor tells Esther that it wasn’t necessarily true, for it was the Russians who landed on the moon first, then came the Americans. It was then, The Doctor came to a complete stop, causing the girl to bump into his back and step aside, “Why’d we stop?” she asked, covering her mouth after the bubbles suddenly emerged from it. The Doctor turns to the side and presented the girl “We’re here” he said Esther looked confused, to her it looked like the two had to walk further down into the sea. That was until she remembered the Doctor showing her the city from afar, meaning the entrance had the same effect. She raised her hand and cautiously reached out to a force field, her hand disappearing in the process. This shocked the poor girl, causing her to pull her hand back in one piece. She tries again, only this time walking all the way through, followed by the timelord. The girl looked down at her clothes, seeing she was perfectly dry from head to toe. “That’s technology in Atlantis for ya” said The Doctor, “Always 500 years ahead of its time” He makes his way towards the clear elevator with Esther following behind. She stood on his left while the Doctor pulled out what looked like a badge of some kind, “What’s that?” she asked “Psychic Paper” said the Doctor, “How else are we gonna be able to pass security?” “I thought we were gonna see the Queen” “We are, don’t worry. Just follow my lead alright?” The Doctor gives the girl a wink before the duo arrive at the main entrance. A line of people, or should I say creatures, waiting for their turn to enter the “Lost City”. The sight of them surprised the girl, of course she’s heard stories of creatures from other worlds, but this was something else. “Don’t stare” said The Doctor, “Come on, better get in line before it wraps around the bubble”

Thankfully, the duo made it in line before it got worse. Esther couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if they couldn’t get inside the city. “Doctor?” asked Esther, grabbing the timelord’s attention, “What happens if you don’t gain access to the city?” The Doctor paused for a moment, unsure how to answer the girl’s question, “Well… to put it short, if you cannot gain access to Atlantis, either one of two things might happen to ya” “What’s that?” “Now see here, sir!” a voice boomed, a shark-like humanoid being was trying to get past the guards with his passport in hand, “I’ve come all this way to see Her Majesty the Queen and I was given permission to enter by the Royal Adviser months ago!” The Shark-man pulls out a scroll and hands it to the head guard, reading it carefully and rips it in half, “This paper is fake” said the guard, “Get rid of him” Without hesitation, the royal guards point their spears at the Shark-man, stabbing him in the chest as the creature suddenly turned to a pile of seafoam. This scene shocked the poor girl, possibly even frighten her. “There’s that” said The Doctor, “Or if you play nice, they’ll just escort you out through the bubble” Esther swallowed the lump in her throat nervously, “Let’s hope that psychic paper works then” she said “Just follow my lead” It was their turn now, The Doctor walked up to the podium and smiled at the head guard. “State your names and purpose of visit, please” said the Guard, looking down at the booklet “Hi!” said the Doctor, “I am Dr. John Smith and this is my assistant nurse, Dr. Mary Mary Pumpernickel” Esther glared at the timelord, feeling offended by the ridiculous name until the head guard finally glanced at the two. He leans in, growing suspicious of the two, “Identification, please” he said with a low dark voice. “Certainly” said The Doctor, pulling out the psychic paper to show his ‘ID’ “And the nurse?” “Oh right, poor girl’s very forgetful. Sometimes she doesn’t keep track of time which is why she’s late for most of her appointments” The girl remained silent while the Doctor rambled, giving the guard a nearly believable smile. The head guard grew suspicious for a moment before giving a nod of approval, “proceed” he said.

The guards move aside for the Doctor and Esther to enter the gate, a bright light blinding the girl till the sight of the “Lost City” was shown. The buildings were just as tall as the girl imagined, seeing flying cars, whales, and narwhals in the sky. The artificial sun shining up above and Atlantians walking among the streets like humans would in the surface world. Most of the Atlanteans looked like the creature from the old American movie with green skin, big round black eyes, and puffy lips. Others looked almost human, besides the gills sitting on either sides of their neck and webbed fingers. They even dressed almost like royalty or high class citizens. “What do you think?” asked the Doctor, seeing the awe in his companion’s eyes, “Nothing like you’ve never seen before right?” “It’s amazing” said Esther “That never gets old” The Doctor walks ahead of the girl, walking through the city to see the sights and sounds of the citizens. There were markets, shops, boutiques, and many more. What caught Esther’s attention was an older man sitting in the corner of an alleyway, holding a pint asking for change. The citizens ignored the older Atlantean but Esther didn't, which the Doctor noticed. Instead of stopping her, he wanted to see what his companion would do from a good distance just in case anything fishy was going on, pun intended. Esther searched through her pockets and pulls out a few pounds for the older Atlantian to take, “Here” she said kindly, “I’m not sure what the currency in Atlantis is, but I hope this is worth something” The Atlantean was rather surprised, but yet he felt grateful for someone to offer him some money. His wrinkled webbed hand kindly took the money from the girl and gave her a kind smile, “Thank you, my dear” he said in a kind gentle voice, “I see you and your friend are not from around here” “Is that obvious?” asked Esther “I have seen many travelers in Atlantis, but none so interesting and different as you two” “Is it true that many people aren’t allowed inside the city unless you have permission from the Queen or the Royal Advisor?” “Indeed” said the Atlantean, “Although years ago, it wasn’t always like this”

The Doctor walked towards Esther’s side, listening to the old Atlantean on how the City went into hiding and why they had to do it. Eons ago, Atlantis was a city of peace and harmony where everyone knew its existence and created powerful alliances. That was until a war broke out between the land and sea, pollution was killing Atlanteans left and right through its water supply and air. Which was quite understandable until you get to the invisible bubble part. Some of the Atlanteans start protesting and demand for the city to return to its former glory, but all because the Royal Advisor thought it’d be best to keep the city in hiding until the Queen says the word. “Hold on, how do you know all this?” asked the Doctor, “You had to be come kind of member of the court or something to know all that” “And you’re right, good sir” said the Atlantean, “I was once a member of the Imperial Court, until the Advisor threw me out of the palace” “What for?” asked Esther “Disagreements” The two became silent as the old Atlantean stood up with the help of his cane which had a silver seashell in the handle of it with a gold piece at the bottom, “If you’re on your way to the palace, I wish you both good luck” “Thank you, Mr….” “Theogoth, but my friends call me Theo”

The old Alantean bid his farewell to the two before taking his leave in the opposite direction of the palace. Little did they know that someone was watching them from the shadows, a low growl escaped the stranger’s green lips in anger while the two left the scene. Once they reached the palace gates, the Doctor walked up to the guard while Esther stood in awe, seeing the gold and silver shine against the artificial light. It looked like something out of a fairy tale, maybe even beyond that. “Tori!” called the Doctor, “Come along! It looks better on the inside” “Nicer than the T.A.R.D.I.S?” teased Esther “Don’t diss the T.A.R.D.I.S! She just needs a little TLC” “If you say so, Doctor” The Doctor’s frown was sharp till they entered the palace. Upon entering the palace, the walls were painted with white and gold, paintings of former rulers of Atlantis were hung in gold frames, including the Gods they worshiped such as Neptune, Poseidon, Ceto, Hydros, and many more. The Doctor’s gaze fell straight to Esther’s, gently grabbing her arm before she could bump into a statue with a trident pointing straight at the girl, “Best to watch where you’re going, love” he said with a wink. Esther blushed a bit and stood close to the Doctor, making sure not to get distracted. The grand doors opened to reveal a beautiful throne room, once again dressed in gold and white, and there sat a woman in the center of the room.  The Queen of Atlantis sat upon her golden throne, dripping in pearls and crystals from head to toe. Her siren eyes were as blue as the sea, her skin as white as sea foam, but underneath those siren eyes was the kindest smile you’d ever see. To say that she was beautiful would be an understatement. The Queen resembled a Goddess of the sea. The Doctor smiled and respectfully bows to the Queen, “Your majesty” he said, “Long time no see, you’re just as beautiful as I remembered” “I thank you, Doctor” said the Queen, her voice as sweet and sincere as a melody, “and I see you have brought a companion” Esther froze, blushing before bowing deeply in the presence of the Queen. The Doctor stood tall and looked down at the girl, shaking his head softly, “Don’t-Don’t do that” he said. The Queen stood from her throne, making her way down the small staircase and stopping just in front of the girl. Her elegant fingers cupped the girl’s chin, slowly raising her head to meet the Queen’s gaze, “Rise, my dear” she said kindly, “There’s no need to bow in such a way” Esther nods and raised herself up, her height matching the queen, “my apologies, you’re majesty” The Queen giggled sweetly in response, “There’s no need to apologize either” “You’re majesty!” a voice called, stepping into the throne room with a serious look. Judging by his gold and silver robes with a badge that resembled an atlantic fig snail, he was the advisor. His appearance was quite the opposite to the Queen, his skin was green as envy, his many eyes made it hard to make eye contact, his scaly hands hidden in the sleeves of his robe, and his frown made it show that he wasn’t in the best of moods. “You shouldn’t treat your guest with such kindness” said the advisor, “You are a solemn ruler, you must show that you have power” “And you are much too traditional, Thoric” said the Queen, “Learn to relax and think about starting a new age for the city” “It’s not as easy as you believe it is, your majesty” The Queen ignored Thoric and turned her attention back to the timelord and his companion, “What’s your name, my dear?” she asks with a smile “Esther” the girl answered, “Esther Lovegood” “Would you and the Doctor care to join me for a stroll?” “Why not?” said The Doctor with a goofy smile, “It’s been a while since my last visit. I wonder if this place still has my little gift shop” Esther raised a brow at the Doctor, “You had a gift shop?” she asks, “In the Queen’s Palace?” “Souvenir for tourist”

The gardens in Atlantis were breathtaking. The coral represented the flowers, the fountains had merpeople made of marble, and the seaweed was decorated nicely as bushes. The Queen and Esther were walking arm and arm while the Doctor watched from a good distance. It was nice to see his new companion enjoy herself and keep her mind off the trouble she’d been through. He paused and heard something from afar, seeing the Royal Advisor, Thoric talking to who seems to be his assistant. His eyes looked back on the Queen and Esther, quietly slipping away in order to hear the conversation, hiding within the seaweed to blend in with the scenery. “Master, perhaps it’s time to put this plan of yours aside” said the assistant “And waste 10,000 years of planning to take over the throne for a mere child? I think not” said Thoric, his eyes fuming with anger, “Do you have any idea how long I had to stand by and watch every ruler of Atlantis to make rational and pointless ideas.” “But what if you don’t succeed this time?” “Oh I will! But with that Doctor and his little daughter-” “Companion, sir” “Whatever, with those two in the way, it won’t be easy to get rid of that naive Queen Aquamarine. Thankfully, there’s a royal ball tonight which makes it the perfect opportunity to get that crown and make sure Atlantis would be supreme”

‘Of course’ thought the Doctor rolling his eyes in the process, ‘the typical second hand wanting nothing more than power and control. Haven’t seen one of those in a while’ “Doctor!” cried the Queen, holding Esther’s unconscious form in her arms. The Doctor quickly left the scene before the advisor would notice, rushing to the girl’s aid to check her pulse, pulling out his sonic screwdriver to scan the girl. Once he was done scanning, the tool showed that Esther was going through a rare condition called ‘Time sickness’ which only happens when people, often humans, stay in the T.A.R.D.I.S a tad too long. “She’ll wake up in her own time” said the Doctor, carefully picking Esther up in his arms, “Sorry we had to cut the walk a bit short” “It’s quite alright, Doctor” said Queen Aquamarine, “As long as your companion gets plenty of rest. I’ll see to it that my servants bring the both of you to a guest room” “I think it might be best if you’d come with us, just in case anything happens to ya without supervision” Queen Aquamarine hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the Doctor’s order. In the corner of the timelord’s eye, he could see Thoric sending him a sinister glare, meaning he knew the Doctor was listening to his conversation from earlier. But that wasn’t going to stop the Doctor from protecting the Queen of Atlantis and his companion.

Esther woke up with a start, but something was off. She wasn’t anywhere in Atlantis. This place seemed rather different. She stood up from the ground and scanned her surroundings. “Doctor!” she called, but no response, “Doctor, where are you?!” The room looked to be a library in an old Esthern house, the shelves stacked with books, the curtains moving softly from the gentle breeze of the night which showed a full moon. The girl walks over to close the curtain but her hand seems to go right through it, as if she were a ghost. The door slams open to reveal a group entering the room, a tall man in a Esthern suit, followed by an older woman who happened to be Queen Victoria, and two very familiar people. One of which was Rose Tyler, the other The Doctor who looked a touch younger. “Doctor?” asked Esther, seeing the timelord quickly gather as many items as he could to block the door, almost as if he was hiding from something, or someone. His ear was pressed to the walls, hearing the sound of what’s chasing them on the other side of it. Esther slowly walks up to the timelord, reaching her hand towards his shoulder, only for her hand to once again go right through it. “What is this?” asked Esther, looking down at her hand then back to the Doctor, “What’s going on? Am I dead?” “No, love” said a voice, “It’s all just a memory” The girl turns around to see another version of Rose Tyler, comparing her to the one watching the Doctor from the side along with the man and the Queen. “Rose?” asked Esther, earning a smile from the familiar blonde. Esther runs towards Rose with a tight hug, before pulling away “How are you here?” she asks “I’m not quite sure to be honest” said Rose, looking towards her younger self and the Doctor, just as surprised as the girl beside her. “Mind giving this memory a bit of context?” “The Doctor and I somehow ended up in Scotland. We met the Queen as you can see and we were being chased by a werewolf” Esther’s eyes widened and glanced at the scene, “Werewolves?” she asked, “They’re real?” “Well” said the Doctor in the memory, “you’d call it a ‘werewolf,’ but technically it’s more of a lupine-wavelength haemovariform” “A what?” asked Esther, “Doctor, when will you learn to speak proper English?” “That’s what I ask myself all the time,” said Rose. The Queen’s face showed distrust in the Doctor and shock, saying that she noticed how he changed his voice so quickly. Before the Doctor within the memory could explain himself, he noticed something on the walls and the doors of the library, mistletoe. The two girls watched the scene as the Doctor climbed up the door and licked the wall without hesitation. Esther watched in disgust and asked, “Did he just lick the wall?” “He does that often” said Rose “Viscum album, the oil in the mistletoe” said the Doctor, “It’s been worked into the wall like varnish. How clever was your dad? I love him!” The timelord explained that mistletoe was powerful stuff, bursting with lectins and viscotoxins. The past Rose asked if the wolf was allergic to the mistletoe, which the Doctor replies with a no, telling her that it thinks they’re allergic to it and the monks outside the manor had to control the creature somehow, possibly training it to react against certain things. The lord of the manner reminds the Doctor that they carried no weapons of any kind to stop the werewolf from attacking them. The Doctor grinned and looked at the lord, “Oh, your father got all the brains, didn’t he?” he asked “Being rude again” said young Rose “Good, I meant that one” If they wanted weapons, the group already had the greatest weapon of all, books. The Doctor pulls out his spectacles and gave a serious look at the group, “This room is the greatest arsenal we could have”

The last thing Esther saw within the memory was the group “arming” themselves with books before it came to an end. She wakes up in a soft and comfortable bed, her eyes flutter softly as a bright light shines above her. Once her vision was clear, she could see a beautiful chandelier decorated with pearls and seashells sitting about the bed. “Oh there you are, Sleeping Beauty” said The Doctor, sitting up from the chair beside the bed, “You gave Queen Aqua quite a fright back there” “Doctor?” asked Esther, sitting up on the bed and slowly poked the timelord just to be sure he was real. He looked rather puzzled before gently moving his companion’s hand aside and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. “Hold still for a moment” he said, pointing the tool at the girl and scanning her face, “Do you feel nauseous or anything?” “No” said Esther, “I’m fine” Once the Doctor was done scanning, he looked at the results, sighing in relief, “Well thank goodness you are, cause we’re attending a ball tonight” “A ball?” “Yes, the Queen’s servants even picked a dress for ya. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a few things to run” Esther carefully pulls herself out of bed as the Doctor leaves the room, “where are you going?” “Don’t worry” said the Doctor, “I’ll be back in time. Atlanteans know how to party” As the Doctor left the room, the servants arrived to help the girl get ready for the royal ball.

Atlanteans from far and wide gathered in the grand ballroom as majestic music filled the air, the guests dancing with grace and precision, including the servants. The Doctor stood beside Queen Aquamarine who was dressed in a beautiful royal navy blue gown, a sapphire headpiece displayed beautifully on the crown of her head, and jewels decorated on her lovely skin. The Time lord was wearing black suit accompanied with gold trimmings and a gold coral shaped bow tie. Not long after, a figure showed up on the top of the steps, her head was neatly tied in a beautiful high ponytail, decorated with pearls and shells, her dress in red and white with layers to represent the Thai Fighting Fish, and shoes made of the best quality of coral. It was Esther. A smile appeared on the Doctor’s face seeing his companion walk down the steps toward the main floor, walking towards the girl and offering his arm, “Took you long enough” he said. “The servants really wanted to find the best dress” said Esther, taking the Doctor’s arm and walks beside him, “And trust me Doctor, it was either this or a puffer fish dress” “You look lovely tho” The Doctor then noticed something very different about the girl, first she had short hair and now it’s long, “You wearing a wig?” he asks, earning a smack on the arm from Esther. “No” she responds, “It’s this serum the servants used to make my hair grow in the bath”

As the ball progressed, the Queen of Atlantis could be seen with the Doctor dancing a waltz while Esther was dancing with other Atlantean royals. On the opposite side of the ballroom stood Thoric, his webbed hands hidden behind his back, with a weapon in one. His many eyes looked up at the chandelier, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make his shot, slowly aiming the weapon up in the air, pulling the trigger with ease. The loud bang scared most of the guests as the chain from the chandelier snapped, falling towards the center where the Doctor and the Queen stood. Thankfully, the Doctor saved Aquamarine on time, but at a cost, his consciousness. “Doctor!” cried Esther, rushing to the timelord and the Queen who held his body close to her chest. The rest of the guest run in a panic, screams filled the room while Thoric and his assistant watched from the side, “Dammit'' growled the royal advisor, “Of course that man would protect her” “A-at least he’s dead, sir” said the assistant, “Perhaps we should make a run for it” “Well thankfully, there’s always plan B” “Wha-what’s plan B again, sir?” “Just follow” The advisor grabs his assistant by the collar to make a quick getaway, which Esther notices and attempts to follow. A hand was placed on the girl’s shoulder to stop her, causing her to turn her attention to Theo, “You tend to the Doctor, child” “What about the Queen?” asked Esther “I shall watch over her. It is my sworn duty to stay by her side” “Where shall we meet then?” asked Aquamarine, pulling out a blaster from her corset. This action surprised the girl for a moment before brushing it aside to think, “The Library” she said, “Greatest arsenal we have” “Perfect”

With that, the old Atlantean and the Queen make their way towards the direction of the advisor, while Esther carefully places the Doctor’s unconscious form to the ground. She hesitates for a moment before folding her hands together and placing them in the center of the timelord’s chest. A hand mysteriously appears, guiding her to the proper spot, “It’s here, love” said a feminine voice. It wasn’t Rose Tyler though, it was someone else. The girl looked up to see a different woman, much different than the last companion she encountered. “Who are you?” asked Esther, “What do you think you’re doing?” “I should be asking you the same thing” said the woman, “My name is Martha Jones and I’m trying to help you save the Doctor” “How’s this going to help?” “It’s where one of his hearts are” Esther looked at Martha as if she had two heads, “what?” she asked, “How could that be? There’s no way the Doctor has more than-” She paused, thinking back to when she first met the timelord in West Sussex. The moment she cried in his arms, she thought she could hear her heart beating. But it turns out, it wasn’t her own heart she heard, it was the Doctor’s. “Two hearts” said Esther, earning a smile from Martha. The girl leans into the Doctor’s chest, hearing his right heart working but not the left. Once again, Esther folds her hands together and places it on the left side of his chest, glancing at Martha once in a while to see if she was doing it correctly. “How do you know all this?” asked Esther, “Were you like a nurse or something?” “Yes I was,” said Martha, “I met the Doctor while I was a medical student stuck on the moon” “The actual moon?” “Yeah. It’s pretty crazy I know” “Try being chased by Cybermen” Martha giggled a bit before hovering her hand over Esther’s helping her apply pressure to the Doctor’s left heart and checking his pulse. This went on for at least 10 minutes, which made the girl worry even more. Her anger was getting the best of her and she couldn’t help but form her hands into one giant fist to pound the timelord in the chest, “WAKE THE HELL UP, YOU ABSOLUTE PIECE OF RUBBISH!!” With one punch to the chest, the Doctor gasped and sat up for air, followed by another punch to the back. “OW!!!!” he yelled but then felt his left heart working once more. The girl stops to see the Doctor alive and well, her shock expression quickly turns to anger once more, smacking the timelord in the face. “WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!” yelled the Doctor, holding his now red cheek “You scared me to death, Doctor!” yelled Esther, “Even if you were only protecting Queen Aqua, you could’ve died!” The Doctor paused, looking around the ballroom with concern until his eyes met Esther’s, holding her shoulders tight, looking down at her with a serious expression, “where’s the Queen?” he asked The girl hesitates before answering the question, “She-she told me to meet her at the Library” she said, “Theo’s with her, so at least she’s not alone” The Doctor’s face softened and formed into a dorky smile, “You are a genius!” he said, cupping the girl’s face for a quick kiss. Once he pulled away, Esther was disgusted and spat in the opposite direction, “Never do that to me again, Doctor!” she said, wiping her lips with the back of her hand. “Come on, love” said the Doctor, “Allons-y!”

The Doctor and his companion enter the library with ease, making sure that no one was following them. He pulls out his sonic screwdriver to scan the room to see if it was safe to stay, “good thing you chose the right place” he said, “No sign of Thoric or his friend” Esther stood by the door, keeping an eye out for the Queen and Theo, “any idea what we can use in here, Doc?” She asks, “There has to be something we could use besides books” The Doctor pulls out his spectacles, scanning the library to see anything out of the ordinary. His long slender fingers traced ever so slightly on the spins of the books, feeling its texture until he noticed something off. He paused, the books didn’t feel like leather, but wood. Leaning against the wood, the Doctor gives it a good sniff, followed by a lick. “Did he just lick the bloody bookshelf?” asked Martha “Yep” said Esther “Driftwood” said the Doctor, tasting his tongue on the roof of his mouth for a better description, “200,000 years old… possibly 300… now if I can just find the right book to open this” Esther glanced at Martha who was also examining the bookshelf from afar, noticing most of them looked the same except one. “Try that one” she said to the girl, pointing to a seafoam colored book with the golden trident on the spine. Esther nods and walks up to the timelord, reaching her hand out towards the book Martha mentioned, pulling it downward to reveal a secret passageway, a staircase leading down to who knows where. The Doctor was rather surprised by how his companion figured it out so quickly, adjusting his coat, raising a brow suspiciously, “How’d you know which book was the switch?” he asked Esther hesitates for a moment before answering, “Well, there’s tritons all around the palace so it had to be the one with the triton on the spine” She points to the book with the golden triton on the spine. The Doctor glanced at the symbol in silence before he shrugged, thinking nothing of it before heading down the staircase with Esther following behind.

“So the Doctor can’t see or hear me?” asked Martha, walking right beside Esther while the Doctor was just a couple steps ahead “Seems like it” said Esther, “Do you even know how you got here?” Martha paused, how did she get here? Nothing came to mind, not even the last thing she remembered. It was rather odd. “I’m not sure to be honest with you” she answered, “I can’t even remember the last place I was at” “Esther!” called the Doctor, glancing at the girl as if she had two heads, “who are you talking to?” Esther hesitates before answering, “nobody” The timelord remained silent, he knew something was up with his companion. Probably one of the side effects of time sickness, so he thought nothing of it. He was then greeted with a blaster to the face, causing him and Esther to put their hands up in defense. Thankfully, it was Queen Aquamarine who was armed with the blaster, “Thank goodness you’re alive, Doctor” she said, lowering the weapon and allowing the two to enter. The room reminded Esther of the Batcave from the comic book Batman, with weapons lined up on the walls, a giant monitor showing the rooms of the palace and the city streets. “Well,” said the Doctor, “I did say that the library was the best arsenal of them all once” But what really caught their attention was Theo holding Thoric’s assistant hostage. “Just so you know, I have a lawyer!” said the assistant, “I will sue you for kidnapping!” “Hello Nemo” said the Doctor, “Looks like the Queen and Theo found ya. Listen, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Which one would you prefer?” “I prefer if you’d let me and my master go in peace! He should have the right to become King of Atlantis- EEP!” The assistant’s eyes were met with the tip of a silver spear, held by Esther, “Hard way it is then” she said with a deadly glare. “Hold on a minute” said the Doctor, gently lowering the weapon from Esther’s hand, “Do you even know how to use that thing?” “If you remember what happened back at the entrance, it turns people into sea foam” “Well can’t let that happen” The time lord pulls out his sonic screwdriver, scanning the spear and resetting the weapon, “there” he said, “now he won’t turn into foam, but a tadpole if he doesn’t talk” The assistant swallowed the lump in his throat as his hand slowly pointed to the monitors. The Queen’s eyes glanced at the screens, one of them showing Throic making a run for it towards the city, weapon in one hand and a scroll in the other. “How did he get his hands on my father’s seal?” Asked the Queen “I may have stolen the code to your father’s safe” said the assistant, the tip of the spear landing closer to his neck, “He’sgoingtoescapethecitywithyourfather’ssealinordertotakeawayyourtitleasking!” “There’s no way we can catch up to him by foot!” said Esther, “Thoric would be gone by the time we reached the gate” “Who said anything about running?” asked the Doctor, a smirk creeping up on his face.

Just outside the city, Thoric could be seen running towards the gates with his weapon in hand. Anger boiling in his bloodstream the more he thought of the Queen almost capturing him. “Might as well take that idiot’s advice and skedaddle out of here” he said to himself before the royal guards pointed their spears at the traitor. He stops and points his blaster, “Stand down!” he commanded, “I am your King! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO RULE OVER THIS GOD FORSAKEN CITY NOT A BRAINLESS BRAT!” The royal advisor was about to turn when he hit face first into what appeared to be a rather large seahorse. The one riding it was none other than the Doctor with the Queen sitting behind him while Esther and Theo were riding another. The Queen and the Doctor’s eyes met with a rather shocked and frightened Thoric, “Going somewhere, Sir Thoric?” asked the Queen, her innocent voice turned dark and intimidating as her sharp siren eyes. Thoric glared and pointed his weapon at the Queen, only for his throat to meet with a pair of sharp blades, courtesy of the royal guards. “You don’t deserve to be the ruler of this palace” he growled, “and to think I let a child take my place in line for the throne after-” “Killing my father in his sleep?” The city fell silent, overhearing the conversation between her royal highness and the royal advisor. “Arrest this traitor” she ordered, “You don’t deserve to be a royal advisor” Without hesitation, the guards grab Thoric and snatched the weapon along with the seal, handing them both to the Queen. Before she could give another order, she paused and smiled at the timelord, “care to do the honors, Doctor?” The Doctor smiled with glee and proudly said, “Take him away, boys” before glancing at his companion, “Always wanted to say that” Esther smiled and rolled her eyes as the guards took the former advisor back to the palace and the city cheered with glee. "Oh!" she said, pulling out a sealed fishbowl which had a tadpole swimming inside it, "don't forget your friend" She tossed the bowl to Thoric who caught it with ease and glared at his former assistant "You are a fool" he growled.

On a distant planet far from Earth, Martha Jones and Rose Tyler appeared to be in a deep sleep. Their eyes shut and their bodies remain frozen in time inside what appeared to be a sleeping pod. A robot was scanning the waves through telekinesis and reports in a robotic voice, “Our sources indicate that Rose Tyler and Martha Jones had connection with the target” “And the location?” asked a young male voice, hiding in the shadows “The location cannot be detected” said the robot, “It is as if they were done on purpose” “It will take time” said an older voice, judging by his uniform, he was a general, “The Doctor will show his face here with what we need” The young soldier salutes to the general in greeting while the other nods. He walks up to the sleeping pods and glared at Rose Tyler, “We must find the target to get rid of the Doctor for good” he said with a sneer, “She is the key to finding his weakness and possibly his true name”

Chapter 1 - “I’m The Doctor”

Amelia Jessica Pond, you may know her as The Girl Who Waited, but she also happened to be the mother of Melody Pond, aka River Song. But surprisingly, Amy didn't give birth to just one child. She gave birth to twin girls. Her name was Cornelia Pond, the youngest twin to River Song, sent to the planet of Mondas and married a general named Richard Lovegood. Everything was peaceful until the day Esther Lovegood was born. The child had a very special power that could not be explained except for the Timelords. Because of that, Cornelia fled the planet Mondas to Earth in order to protect her child as well as herself from possible dangers of her ex-husband. By the time Cornelia's daughter was 5, she started to ask questions about the universe as well as the history behind every textbook the girl could get her hands on. The poor woman could barely keep up with her daughter, but loved her just the same, and managed to keep in touch with her sister River to tell her stories about a mysterious timelord known as "The Doctor."

Years later, Esther Lovegood has grown up into a high school graduate enjoying summer break before moving to the city of London for college. Currently, the girl was roaming the street market looking for ingredients for dinner tonight until her phone started to ring. She picks it up to see it was her mother calling, probably wondering what's taking her daughter so long to get groceries, "Hello Mum" she said calmly "Where are you, love?" asked Cornelia on the other line, "The supermarket isn't that far of a walk from home, you know" "Oh I decided to check out the flea market instead of our usual supermarket" said Esther, picking up a beautiful red apple from the apple cart, "It just gets so boring going to the same place all the time, plus it does make for good exercise. You should try it if you wanna get out more-" The girl paused, seeing something from the distance and a man running for his dear life. Esther immediately hangs up the phone and cautiously walks over to the scene of the crime to witness an army of evil robots known as Cyberman, attacking poor innocent civilians to their demise, some even controlled by them. This shocked the poor girl and quickly fled the scene to find help. Unfortunately, the police couldn't do anything about it and were left defenseless. As Esther continued her way around town, the sound of moaning was heard in the air, not by a human but a machine. A blue telephone box appeared out of nowhere along with a man. He was tall and skinny, but proper skinny, with a blue striped suit underneath a long brown trench coat and his hair spiked with who knows how much hair gel. The man stole a glance at the girl and smiled, "Hello, love" he said kindly, "What brings you all the way to Scotland?" Esther looked rather confused, "You're not in Scotland, sir" she said, "This is West Sussex, England" The stranger looked just as confused and climbed back into the telephone box, "I thought I sent the T.A.R.D.I.S. to Ye Old Scotland!" he yelled, "You did this on purpose, did you old girl?" "Excuse me?" asked Esther "Not you!" The girl walked over to the booth and raised her hand to knock until the stranger opened the door, causing Esther to shriek and fall on her bum. The man looked down with concern and confusion, "What'd ya doin' down there?" he asked "I fell over" said Esther "What'd you fell over for?" "I didn't do it on purpose" He held out his hand to help the girl up, dusting his hands for a moment before pulling out a tool known as the sonic screwdriver. "What's that?" asked Esther, pointing at the device. "It's called a sonic screwdriver" he explained, "Now if you'd be so kind as to leave the area before I-" The man was cut off by the girl entering the T.A.R.D.I.S. without wasting a second. "Blood hell!" said Esther, "This place is bigger on the inside, it's incredible!" "Yes it is, now please leave!" The girl looked offended for a moment while the stranger attempted to push her outside, "Okay" she said in a calm manner, "You want me to leave, that's fine. I can just let those robots either turn me into one of them or be obliviated" "Excellent!" The man replied before his eyes widened and realized, "Wait! Did you say robots?" Esther turns toward the man and hesitates before answering, "Yes?" "What did they look like?" "Tall, made of silver, some of them human with weird pieces on the side of their head" Suddenly, a blaster was heard from the distance, causing the two to glance over and see a Cyberman scanning the area with its back turned to the T.A.R.D.I.S. "Get in" said the man, grabbing Esther's arm and dragging her inside, "Shut the door!" "What are those things?" asked Esther, shutting the door before running towards the controller where the stranger was pressing buttons and pulling down levers. "Those are the Cyberman" said the man, "They're biological lifeforms that have replaced their flesh into metal. They're main goal is to obviously destroy the human race and take over a planet, or possibly destroy the planet itself" "And how do you know all this?" The man stops and stood before the girl, smiling down at her with a goofy grin, "I'm the Doctor" Esther froze for a moment, then it all came together. All the stories she'd heard as a child were all true. All the adventures of the famous Timelord traveling through time and space, saving galaxies, fighting monsters and aliens. They were all true.

The Doctor reached his hand towards a leaver while keeping his eyes on the girl, "You might wanna hold on to something" he said with a wink. Without hesitation, Esther grabs onto the handles as the T.A.R.D.I.S. shook violently, sending the two through time and space. The sound of loud moaning appeared again once they landed on the other side of town. The Doctor checks the screen above the control panel for any sign of Cybermen, "all clear" he said, making his way towards the door with Esther following behind. "Are they gone then?" she asks the Doctor "Nope" he said, "But we did lose sight of them for now. Come along then" "And where exactly are we going, Doc?" "Somewhere I can find the proper tools to stop them. Nasty things, Cyberman are. I was turned into one once, not really but a metal piece was on my head and was called 'Mr. Clever' one of my most challenging opponents cause he was me but yet he wasn't me" Esther was rather confused, the need to ask so many questions to the Doctor until her phone started to ring. The Doctor quickly pulls out his sonic screwdriver and looked around the empty shop with caution, "Get down!" he said "Relax, Doctor" said Esther, pulling out her phone from her pocket, "It's my cellphone, my mother must be wondering where I am" The moment the girl answered the phone, her mother's voice was low and worrisome, "Esther" she whimpered, "Oh my god, are you alright, love? What happened I tried calling you but you never answered" "Mum, I'm okay" said Esther, "I'm on the other side of town I can come home right away if-" "No! Don't come home" The Doctor listened to the conversation in silence, his eyes staring at the girl with concern as she paced around the empty shop with confusion and worry dancing on her face. "What do you mean, 'Don't come home', mum?" asked Esther in a panic, "What's going on? Are the cybermen after you?" "Someone knows you're here, love" said Cornelia on the other line, "You have to leave and find a new place to hide. The next time we meet, you may not recognize my face" "Mum, what the hell are you talking about?" "I'm afraid my time has come, sweetheart. I love you so much....goodbye" BANG Silence fell into the empty shop as Esther stood in shock and horror, "Mum?" she asked on the phone, no response, "Mum, what happened? Are you still there? Mum!" The line was cut off, it was dead silence on the other end of the girl's cellphone. She fights back the tears so as to not look humiliated in front of the timelord. The Doctor however felt her pain, the loss of a loved one. He knew it all too well. Without a single hint of hesitation, he pulls Esther into a tight and comforting hug, her face buried into The Doctor's brown coat. It was then it happened, she wept into the Doctor's arms, her cries muffled into his shirt while he soothed her, running his fingers through her short brown hair. "Shhh" The Doctor whispered, "It's alright, we can get through this" He pulled away and gently wiped the girl's tears with his thumb, seeing the look of loss and sorrow struck the timelord's two hearts. It was the same look he had when he lost his many companions, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, River Song, but especially, Rose Tyler. Esther sniffled as her glossy eyes looked up at the Doctor, "She was my home" she said sadly, "I have nowhere else to go" The Doctor stood in silence, there was no way he could leave this poor girl alone now that her mother was gone. He took a deep breath and placed his hands on either side of the girl's shoulders, a serious look painted on his face and sharp chin, "I'll protect you in every way I can" he said, "but most importantly, you have to trust me"

Esther was too choked up to speak, instead she nodded in response to the Doctor's words. Of course she normally wouldn't trust someone she just met, but something about the timelord seemed comforting and trustworthy, even though the stories she was told said otherwise. She wipes her tears with the back of her hand while the Doctor thinks of a plan that might stop the Cybermen before they could cause more damage to the planet. He stops and pulls out his sonic screwdriver and points it at the girl, "I never got your name by the way" he said. The girl looked at the Doctor with confusion until she realized she never told him her name. "Esther" she said, "Esther Lovegood" "Lovely name," he said, "Like her majesty the stars in the night sky” Esther couldn't help but giggle a bit and softly smile at the Doctor, it did take her mind off of what happened to her mother. "There's that smile" he said, grinning from ear to ear, "Now then, give me your phone" "Huh?" asked Esther "What did I say to you before?" "Most importantly, I have to trust you?" "Very good. Finally, someone who ACTUALLY listens to me" The Doctor holds out his hand and Esther hands the timelord her cellphone. He examined it rather quickly, scanning it with his sonic screwdriver, taking in its data before thinking of a plan. As the girl sat down and watched the Doctor think, she noticed a figure a few windows down. It was tall and a bit hard to see due to the puffiness in her eyes from crying. She rubbed her eyes for clarity until she realized that the figure staring back at her was a Cyberman. It stood in silence, raising its wrist to reveal a blaster, "Watch out!" called Esther, tackling the Doctor to the ground as the Cyberman fires toward the two. The cell phone slipped out of the Doctor's hand in one direction, the screwdriver in the other. There was a moment of panic, "I hate being interrupted!" The Doctor complained, "Why can't I get a moment's peace for once in my life?!" The girl looked around the room and noticed the closest object to her right was the sonic screwdriver while her cellphone was closest to the Doctor's direction. "Doctor!" said Esther through the sound of blasters and broken glass, "grab my cell phone, I'll get the screwdriver" Before the Doctor could tell her 'no', Esther army crawls her way toward the device, stopping every once in a while to avoid getting shot. Her right hand reached for the screwdriver, her fingers barely touching the handle. "Surrender, Doctor" said the Cyberman, its robotic voice sound cold as the metal material it was made out of, "You cannot stop the future" "I can and I will!" said the Doctor, grabbing the cell phone the same time Esther manages to grab the sonic screwdriver, "Come along, Lovegood!" As the blast hit the walls and windows of the shop, the Doctor stood and grabbed the girl by her hand, escaping to the back and making their way back to the T.A.R.D.I.S. "Doctor!" said Esther, her feet standing in place while the timelord followed suit, "Where's the T.A.R.D.I.S.?" "What are you talking about, Esther?" asked the Doctor, "She's right there where we left-" The moment the timelord turned around, he realized the T.A.R.D.I.S. was gone. No traces of the bright navy blue phone box, not even the sound of its tender purring sound. "No! No! No! No! NO!!" The Doctor yelled in anger, "The Cybermen were not supposed to take the T.A.R.D.I.S.!" "How do you know the Cybermen took the T.A.R.D.I.S.?" asked Esther "Isn't it obvious?!" The timelord rambled on and on about the Cybermen taking his form of transportation, pacing around in circles on the surprisingly quiet street. If there were still humans around, The Doctor would've caused a great disturbance in the neighborhood. Esther on the other hand looked down at the sonic screwdriver in her right hand. She looked at every detail of the device and unknowingly turned it on to reveal a small green light in the end with a sonic buzzing sound coming from it. She points it in random directions until she points it towards a rather tall skyscraper. West Sussex is well known for its historical architecture and historical landmarks, so the sight of a rather large silver building was something out of the ordinary in this part of town. "Doctor?" asked Esther, lowering the sonic screwdriver in her hand and turning off the light, "Was that there before?" The Doctor stops his complaints and turns toward the girl in confusion, "what are you talking about?" he asked, "There are no skyscrapers in West Sussex. It's a ridiculous idea for such a small town like this" The girl noticed something coming up to the roof, it looked like rather familiar humans assisting the cybermen as well as flying a helicopter. But what really took her by surprise is what the helicopter was carrying, "The T.A.R.D.I.S.!" She yelled, tugging the Doctor by the sleeve and pointed towards the timelord's ship, "but how are we gonna get up there? It's probably surrounded by cybermen" The Doctor looks around until he spots an abandoned motorcycle sitting by a telephone pole, "Hop on then" he said, making his way toward the vehicle. Esther stood there flabbergasted, how on earth could she and the Doctor go past a heavily guarded building with just a motorcycle. She brushed the thought aside and followed the Doctor, who pulled out the girl's cell phone thinking it was his screwdriver. He paused and glanced at Esther before his eyes trailed down to her right hand. Without a word, the two switched devices and the Doctor starts the motorcycle with the help of his sonic screwdriver. Its engine purring and ready to roll. "How did you do that?" asked Esther "No time for questions, Esther" said the Doctor, "Hop on and hold on tight. This is going to be a bumpy ride" The timelord hands the girl a helmet once she sits behind him and places the helmet on. Her arms wrapped tightly around the Doctor's waist as they made their way towards the skyscraper. The closer the bike to them, the more possessed humans began to surround the entrance. "They're blocking our path!" said Esther, "You're not expecting us to run them over, do you?" "Just trust the Doctor for heaven's sake!" cried a voice. The girl paused, scanning the quiet town but there was no one in sight. The voice continued, "The Doctor may be mad but he knows what he's doing!" Esther decided to take the voice's word for it as the Doctor drove the motorcycle faster until it reached a construction site yelling with excitement, "ALLONS-Y!!!" The motorcycle went over the cyber controlled humans and landed on the side of the skyscraper. Normally anyone who did that would come crashing through the glass window, instead it ignored the laws of physics and rode upward toward the top of the building. Esther looked down and held onto the Doctor tighter, for fear of falling over to her possible death, her eyes shut tight while the Doctor continued to laugh like a child in a candy store.

The moment the two unlikely companions reached the top of the skyscraper, a handful of Cybermen stood tall while a human man dressed in a military uniform stood front and center. What Esther found odd about the man was that he didn't have a metal piece on the side of his head like the others that were taken over by the Cybermen, but the serious and deadly look in his eye definitely shows that the soldier was the one in charge of the whole show. "So you've finally came, Doctor" said the soldier, "I have received word of your arrival and wanted to see if the rumors were true" "Well, now you know" said The Doctor, climbing off the motorcycle while Esther remained seated, "Was this a way to make me come close and personal? Been there, done that" As the Doctor approached the soldier, Esther watched in silence with her hands forming a grip around the end of her skirt, pleading that the timelord wouldn't get himself hurt. "Relax, kiddo. He is the Doctor after all" There it was again, the voice from before. But this time it sounded much more clear that the girl could make out its details. The voice sounded feminine, young (maybe mid to early 20s), definitely English native. "How do you know that?" asked Esther "Because I was once his companion" said the voice, "only he was a bit younger looking at the time" In the corner of Esther's eye stood a rather short female that looked around her age. She had blonde hair that reached just slightly past her shoulders, a pink shirt with a blue leather jacket which had both her hands on either side of the pockets. Her eyes looked like a wolf but her smile seemed kind and trusting. "Who are you?" asked Esther, "How do you know the Doctor so well" "Like I said, I was once his companion just like you are right now" said the mysterious female. "Esther!" called the Doctor, "You're phone please" Esther turned her attention back to the timelord who had his hand stretched out for the girl to toss her cell phone over. She looked confused for a moment until she did as the Doctor told her without question. She pulled out her cell phone and tossed it to the Doctor. He clumsily catches the mobile device and placed it together with his sonic screw driver, lifting it into the air as he announced, "Within the next 10 minutes, this bomb will explode!" "A bomb?!" yelled Esther, her eyes wide as saucers, "You can't be serious, Doctor!" The Doctor turned his eyes towards the girl, "I but I am" he said, followed by a wink. This action confused the girl until the figure nodded with a trusting smile. It was then the girl realize this was part of the real plan, she nods in response before the Doctor continued, "May I suggest find the KEY to this tight situation in your POCKET before things start to get messy" Esther checked her front pocket to find a small key hidden inside it. Her eyes looked down at the item before turning her attention back to the Doctor, "Just PULL the flag of surrender, and PRESS THE RED BUTTON to bring yourselves back home. But don't worry, The T.A.R.D.I.S. will come back to me no matter what, don't cha old girl?" The soldier laughed as if he heard the funniest joke in the world at the Doctor, his sickening grin still plastered on his face while the Cybermen aimed their wrist blasters at the timelord, "You think I'm a coward, don't you Doctor?" he asked, "I suggest that YOU leave this planet before you could say your silly little catchphrase" The Doctor's face grew with offense, "well excuse me for having a lovely catchphrase!" He said, "Unlike those Cybermen of yours, all they say is 'You will be upgraded' or 'You will be deleted' all the bloody time. Honestly, that's starting to get rather old" In the corner of The Doctor's eye, he sees Esther cautiously enter the T.A.R.D.I.S. and smiles to himself, a new companion who ACTUALLY listens to him for once.

Once Esther entered the T.A.R.D.I.S, she made a break for the controls in the center of the room, scanning every button and lever she could memorize and find within arms reach. She successfully finds the red button the Doctor mentioned but wasn't quite sure which lever to pull since two were presented, one on the left and one on the right. "Which one tho?" she asked herself, "Be more specific the next time you mention a lever, Doctor" The girl hovers her right hand over the red button while her left reaches over to the left lever only to stop when another hand stops her. "Wait!" the voice said, it was the girl from earlier. "How'd you get in here?" asked Esther "Don't ask questions, just trust me on this" "Why should I? You could be lying" "I never lie" "Have you?" The figure paused as her eyes began to glow, it did frighten Esther just a bit but swallowed the lump in her throat and slowly switched her hands from one place to another. Now Esther's left hand was hovering over the red button while her right hand reached for the lever on the right. "On three?" asked Esther while the figure nodded, placing her hand over the girl's for support. "One… Two… Three!" Once the lever was pulled, Esther pressed the red button and off the T.A.R.D.I.S. went, disappearing from the skyscraper and enough time for The Doctor to work on his true plan.

The T.A.R.D.I.S makes its appearance in the backyard of a small house on the other side of town. The sound of its engine purring around the area as it makes a safe landing. Esther was practically on the floor after the ship flew across time and space, laying on her back and her short hair somehow turned into a bird's nest. She sits up and adjust herself a bit before standing up to dust her shirt a bit more, "That was quite a happy landing" said the blonde figure, "At least you make a better driver than the Doctor" Esther glanced at the blonde female, "Who are you anyway?" she asks, "you never told me your name" The blonde hesitates before taking a deep breath and answered the question, "Rose" she answered, "Rose Tyler" The girl nods and repeats the name silently to herself before turning herself toward Rose Tyler, "Okay, Rose" she said, "My name's Esther Lovegood" "I know," said Rose with a smile, "shall we then?" Esther hesitates for a moment before making her way towards the door, cautiously opening it to see where the T.A.R.D.I.S has taken them. It turns out that the house belonged to Esther and her mother, "How did-?" "No time for questions" said Rose, appearing near the shed, "Just pack what's important cause those Cybermen might be looking for you right now so be quick about it" Without a moments hesitation, Esther quickly enters the house through the backdoor, seeing the place looked as if a bomb went off. She quickly makes her way up the stairs and grabs whatever seems important. First a couple of pairs of clean clothes, some books and notes, shoes, and some photos from her childhood. Esther then grabs what appears to be a hand-sized toy which looks similar to a robot known as The Daleks. "What's that?" asked Rose, looking over Esther's shoulder to get a better look at the robot, "Is it safe?" "It's only a toy" said Esther, "My mom made this for me when I was a kid, used to play with it all the time and it holds a lot of memories for me" The girl placed the toy inside her suitcase and hesitates to close it for a moment, "Wait a minute" she said, closing the suitcase before heading back downstairs to find her mother's body. She looked in the powder room, the dining area, the living room, the master bedroom, even the kitchen but the older woman was nowhere in sight. "What the hell?" she asked herself, "This is impossible, her body should've been here, not even the police." "Hurry up!" said Rose, "Time's of the essence you know" Esther takes a deep breath before making her way back to her bedroom and grabs her suitcase to leave West Sussex. But the moment Esther steps outside in the backyard, the T.A.R.D.I.S was gone. "Not again!" said Esther, placing her suitcase down and sits upon it, "I lost the T.A.R.D.I.S twice" "Don't worry, love" said Rose, walking beside the girl and kneels next to her, "The Doctor will be back in no time, I promise"

Hours felt like days as Esther waited anxiously on the footsteps of her house. Her foot repeatedly tapped against the step beneath her while looking up at the stars in the sky. Just when the girl was about to lose all hope, the sound of a familiar time machine was heard from across the street. She smiled as the T.A.R.D.I.S came to view and out comes the Doctor with a brand new long blue coat and matching tie, "There you are'' he said with a goofy smile, "Thought I'd lost ya" "You're late, Doctor" said Esther, standing up from the steps and grabbing her suitcase, making her way towards the timelord. "Is this the thanks I get for saving the world for the millionth time?" asked the Doctor, "Maybe more than that, but who's counting anyway?" Esther giggled and looked up at the time machine, "so...where to then?" she asks This made the Doctor smile and answer with confidence, "wherever and whenever you want, love" he said, "Every galaxy, every part of history, time and space are at your fingertips!" The Doctor steps aside and allows the girl to enter the T.A.R.D.I.S first, followed by himself, then makes his way to the controls. Esther placed her suitcase aside and looked around the main control room a bit before slipping her hand into her left pocket. She paused, feeling a small piece of paper that she never owned inside, pulling the paper out and opening it to see a small little message. 'When I was a little girl, I had an imaginary friend. And when I grew up, he came back. He's called "The Doctor" He comes from somewhere else He has a box called 'The T.A.R.D.I.S" that can travel anywhere through time and space. I ran away with him, and we've been running ever since. - Amy Pond' Esther looked up at The Doctor who was busy with the controls before looking up at the girl, she quickly hid the note before the Doctor would notice. "Where would you like to go then?" he asked with a goofy smile. The girl thinks for a moment and shrugs, "Surprise me" she answered. This made the Doctor's childish smile grow wider, "I love surprises" he said before the T.A.R.D.I.S takes off, traveling through time and space.

Would any of you guys be interested in a PDF copy of The Lost Boys book?

I own a physical copy, which is insanely expensive online, and I have a digital PDF of the book as well.

And I want people to enjoy the book without having to spend an arm and a leg for a 220 page book like I did. (The cheapest I could find it was over $200)

If you're interested in this, message me directly. Just send your e-mail, and I'll send the PDF asap.

I don't want anything in return, I just want y'all to have more content.

(And the PDF is totally useless for me because I have the physical copy, and I prefer to have the book in my hands vs digitally if I have the option.)

UPDATE!! (5-30-22)

MY FUCKING LAPTOP HAS DIED ON ME!

Damn thing was a piece of shit when I bought it, but now it's fucking useless.

HOWEVER! I am still going to send out the PDF!

Every Friday I'm going to go to the public library in my city, and I'll send out all the emails I need to send out.

So don't worry! You can still get a copy! Just send me an email to address it to, and I'll add it to my list of emails for the week. Once the email is sent, I'll send you a message, and let you know that it's been sent!

I apologize for the delay, and inconvenience, but have patience and you'll get a copy I promise! ❤️

IMAGINES OPEN!

Hi everyone! Ok, so I’ve wanted to get back into writing for the longest time and I think I have figured out how to do it. I was inspired to do this by @keanulowe​ after reading some of her imagines. (Follow her by the way she’s awesome).

I will be doing imagines for actors Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves as well as their characters from the Bill and Ted franchise. :) If you would like to make a request, please fill out the info below:

Anything extra: (As much as possible would be great because I like to go into a lot of detail :) )

I’m not the best at writing smut but I can try if you want it. :)

Thanks for checking this book out and I hope to hear from you guys soon!

-Deidra

P.S. I am slow at writing but that’s only because I like to add as much detail as I can to make sure the person who requested it is going to love it :) So I’m sorry for any inconviences about that.
