Daleks Of Olympus

Chapter 2 - Kira

I stood up and screamed … TARDIS?! Oh, my Gods. Bigger on the inside. The decorations were different but I know it was the beautiful blue box.

 A man wearing a dark suit, sombrero, and rainbow unicorn toe socks tucked into sandals - grinned and said in his glorious British accent, "Oh, hello! I'm the Doctor. James...?" I glanced over at the boy - oh wait, he was a satyr. WAIT, A SATYR?? After I got over that shock, I noticed James was blushing and shifting from foo- from hoof to hoof.

 "Sorry, Doctor. Umm..."

 "Ah, well...no worries, James! Now Kira, Alix - I heard you were big fans of my show," The Doctor shook his head, seeming slightly sad.

 "I had really hoped the producers would go for my Dancing In The Stars idea, but nooo, it just had to be about me. My life is so boring. Full of- war and loss, oh it's just a big sob fest. Now, where's my guacamole, James?!" The Doctor clapped his hands excitedly.

 "You life. Boring?" Alix facepalmed. "So not! But what about Peter Capaldi, and Matt Smith, David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, and all those guys? And what about your companions? Billie Piper? Karen Gillan?"

 "Oh, those guys are my understudies! The likeness is slightly creepy, don't you think? Same with the companions. We filmed the last episode with me as the eighth doctor just last week, in fact. Then I regenerated into this old guy. Still not ginger." The Doctor scowled, running his hands through his dark brown hair. He straightened his sombrero, smoothed his suit, and wiggled his toes.

 I tilted my head in Alix's direction.

 "So...the - your show isn't your real life?" I mean..." She asked.

 "Oh no. It's my real life, they just...dramatized it a little." The Doctor waved his hands. "But that isn't why I sent James to get you two. Well, you." He pointed at me.

 Alix scowled and said, "....And what am I?"

 "You. You, Alix Elizabeth Butler, are skilled. Amazing." He grinned. "I need someone to help me. Daleks are invading Mount Olympus-" "That's why I'm here," James interrupted - "Yeah. We have to go there and stop them," The Doctor finished.

 "Y-you want us to go with you?" I stuttered.

 "Yeah, I can have you back by five tonight...you know, all that timey wimey stuff!" The Doctor exclaimed.

“People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.”

 He turned and said to James, "James, get my guac. I'm in sort of a....guacamole sombrero rut right now," He then said in our direction. The Doctor tapped his sombrero and pulled some levers to get the TARDIS going. I turned to Alix.

 "Is this legit? Is it really happening?" I asked her. Alix grinned.

 "Cliche, but I know, right? Surreal!" She replied, grasping onto the railing.

 "So, we're really traveling through space? And time?" I asked the Doctor

 "YES, AND UNLESS YOU SHUSH, WE MAY END UP SOMEWHERE WE DO NOT WANT TO BE!" He shouted over the noise.

 "OKAY!" I mimicked the Doctor's loud voice. "SO WHERE EXACTLY ARE WE GOING?"

 James replied instead of the Doctor.

 "Empire State Building, about twenty minutes ago."

Eventually, the wheezing sound stopped. I looked over at the Doctor.
