Space Bound [1] ✅️

The Unquiet Dead

{This is the chapter that so far has gone the most off-script because I had to so I could fit Kayce into it}

"Hold that one down!" the Doctor tells her as the Tardis is in a rather jerky flight.

Kayce rolls her eyes "yeah well I'm already holding this one down." 

He doesn't even look up "Well, hold them both down." 

"it's not going to work" she tries to reach across to the other one but she can't reach it. The Doctor finally looked up at her as she lifted her foot up and slammed it down on the other button" he stared at her in amusement with a raised eyebrow. Kayce rolls her eyes "well you said to hold them both down and this is the only way that's happening. It's not going to work you know?" 

He looks at her with a mock hurt expression "Oi! I promised you a time machine and that's what you're getting. Now, you've seen the future, let's have a look at the past. 1860." he looks at her "How does 1860 sound?"

"What happened in 1860?" she asks curiously even though she pretty much already knows because well she did live through it.

He grinned at her " I don't know, let's find out. Hold on, here we go!" Kayce grinned back at him nearly losing her balance and falling on her back as she still has the button pushed with her foot.

After a few moments, the Tardis jerked sending Kayce flying to the floor she let out a laugh as he landed on her stomach on the floor. She heard another thud as the Tardis stopped she rolled over on her back to see the Doctor in a similar position on the floor.

They shared a look and both burst out laughing "Oh my god!" She giggled. 

"Oh you're telling me" the Doctor agreed jumping up and happily pulling her up with him.

"Nothing's broken," she said inspecting herself "that's a good thing... So did we land in the right place?" 

The Doctor leaned over to look at his screen "I did it!" he boasted "Give the man a medal! Earth, Naples, December 24th, 1860."

"Wow" Kayce said quietly with a grin "it's Christmas."

The Doctor smiles at her "It's all yours." he motioned toward the door.

"Think about it" she smiled leaning against the console "Christmas in 1860. Happens once, just once and it's gone, it's finished, it'll never happen again. Except for you. You can go back and see days that are dead and gone a hundred thousand sunsets ago." she grins at him "No wonder you never stay still."

"Not a bad life" he agrees

"Better with two though" she adds and he grinned at her, she grinned back "well come on let's go then!" Kayce starts towards the door but stops "wait I can't go out there dressed like this it'll start some kind of riot."

He looks at her kind of surprised but grins at her "Well go then Barbarella... wardrobes through there" he pointed "First left, second right, third on the left, go straight ahead, under the stairs, past the bins, fifth door on your left. Hurry up!"

Kayce smirked and ran through the Tardis.

****

Kayce had been in there for a least 20 minutes and the Doctor had started fiddling with the Tardis when he heard footsteps he looked up then shot up so quickly that he banged his head into the console.

Kayce burst out laughing as he grumbled "You try it and see how fun it is" then he blinked when he saw her outfit.

Kayce shifted a little. She had chosen a black gown with a dark purple bodice and three-quarter sleeves, she had a black cloak wrapped around her shoulders her hair was twisted up in a fancy-looking bun and she was wearing dangling amethyst earrings. She smirked at the Doctor before doing a little pose "So?"
