Doctor Who and the Echoes of Time

Doctor Who and the Beach Arc Part 1

"A beach?" (Y/n) asked as he opened the Tardis doors and looked over their surroundings. The beach seemed to go on forever in all directions. The water was a beautiful mix of blue and green, seemingly unspoiled, the bright yellow sun shining off it wonderfully.

"A beach!" The Doctor smiled as she pushed (y/n) out of the Tardis and exited after him. "After our last trip... well I decided let's do something nice. Relaxing"

(Y/n) nodded as he walked a bit closer to the water. "We're not on earth, are we?" It was hard to imagine any places on earth as beautiful as here.

"I don't know where we are" The Doctor spoke frankly. She was about to elaborate when they heard a muffled yelp from inside the Tardis.

"You've got so many rooms in there, yet not one towel closet?" Rivka asked a minute later as she appeared out of the Tardis with three beach towels. "I had to slip on one of these on the floor of the wardrobe in order to find them"

"I'll look into it!" The Doctor replied with a shrug and an awkward look. "As I was saying, I don't know where we are. I found it once and it was so peaceful I decided to write down the coordinates so I could always come back when I needed to. It seems to be some sort of pocket universe"

"Alright" (y/n) nodded as he looked again to the water.

"Want to go for a swim?" The Doctor asked with a smile. "There are swimsuits in the wardrobe!"

"I'm good" (y/n) replied as Rivka placed their towels on the sand in a row for them to lay on.

"Oh. Rivka?" The Doctor asked with a wider smile.

The girl frowned. "I've seen your wardrobe. Those swimsuits show a bit to much skin for my tastes"

"Oh" The Doctor's new frown lasted for a moment before turning into a wide smile. "Suit yourselves! I'm going for a snorkel!" She quickly entered the Tardis, closing the doors behind her.

(Y/n) turned back to find his friend lying on the middle towel. "Penny for your thoughts?" She asked as she held up the small coin she had offered.

"Me?" The boy laughed. "My price is higher than that" he walked over to his friend and sat on the towel to her right. He took his shoes and socks off, not wanting them to get to dirty on the beach.

"Shame. I'm stingy with my money" Rivka slipped her penny back into her pocket.

"What about you? What are you thinking?" (Y/n) asked as he turned his head so he was looking at her.

Rivka shook her head as she pulled her sunglasses out of her ankle length black skirt's pocket and put them on. "I'm thinking we should have brought suntan lotion"

"We probably don't need it" (y/n) countered. "Not if there are no people to ruin the ozone here"

"Good point" Rivka nodded as she stared up at the bright blue sky, there were no clouds in sight. "I'm also wondering-" she shook her head. "Never mind"

"What's that?" Rivka sat up at her friend's words. Something had just washed ashore. It was small and the sun shone through its clear surface.

"Looks like a bottle" Rivka shrugged. She removed her sunglasses and found she had missed what he was referring to. Inside of the bottle was a piece of paper. "Never mind. That's a beach cliché"

"Oh ha ha" (y/n) shook his head as he stood and walked over to the bottle. He crouched down and picked it up. He tilted the bottle so the paper fell out and into his hand.

"Ooh! What's it say?" The Doctor spoke, apparently the two had missed her exit from the Tardis. When (y/n) and Rivka looked to her they found that she was now wearing snorkeling gear.
