The Lost Time Lord (A Doctor Who/Tenth Doctor Fanfiction)

Chapter Fifty: So Alive

Donna ran down the pavement onto the main road, the Doctor and I trailing after her.

"Taxi!" She shouted, waving at a passing cab. It ignored her, speeding right past. "He had his light on!"

"There's another one!" The doctor pointed, jogging further down the street. Donna ran behind him while I followed at a leisurely pace.

"Taxi!" She shouted again, as she and the Doctor stuck their arms out, trying to get his attention. This can drive by too. "Oi!"

"There's one!"

I stopped walking, gripping the straps of my messenger bag as Donna and the Doctor ran back and forth up and down. The street, missing two more cars.

"Do you have this effect on everyone?" The doctor asked, "Why aren't they stopping?"

"They think she's in fancy dress." I said calmly, combing the street with my eyes.

Another cab honked as it passed us.

"Get off the sauce darling!" The driver called.

"Great customer service!" I shouted.

"They think I'm drunk." Donna realized as a blue civilian car slowed beside us.

"You're fooling no one mate!" A pair of men yelled.

"Right back at you!" I retorted. Their smiles fell and I made a mocking face, waving them off.

"They think I'm in drag!" Donna exclaimed. The Doctor glanced down at her and I rolled my eyes.

"To hell with this." I walked to the curb, putting my fingers in my mouth and letting out a high-pitched whistle. Donna covered her ears as a cab screeched to a stop beside us. "That's more like it."

Donna threw open the door, climbing into the back seat as the Doctor sidled up beside me, dropping his head to my ear.

"Kinda hot, I won't lie." He muttered in a sing-song voice.

"Oh, you liked that, did you?" I asked, smirking up at him. He jerked his head to the side, smirking back and I laughed, climbing in beside Donna.

"St. Mary's in Chiswick, just off Haven Road," Donna instructed, as the Doctor cramed himself in between me and the door, "Its an emergency, I'm getting married. Just hurry up!"

"That'll cost you, sweetheart. Double rates today." The cabbie replied. I cringed, looking around at the Christmas decorations covering all the shops with passed. I opened my bag, beginning to search for my wallet.

"Oh my gosh!' Donna realized. "Have you got any money?"

"Uh...no," The Doctor told her, "Haven't you?"

"Pockets?!" She exclaimed, glancing at me.

"Ugh, I must've left my billfold on the TARDIS," I groaned, leaning forward and putting my hands on the seat, "I'm so sorry, sir. I promise, we're not trying to swindle you. If you just get us to the church, we'll go inside and find some money, plus interest, due to the inconvenience."

The Doctor slammed the Taxi door shut behind us.

"And that goes double for your mother!" Donna shouted as the Taxi pulled away. "I'll have him! I've got his number, I'll have him!"

"Talk about the Christmas spirit." I muttered, wrapping an arm around myself and putting a hand on Donna's back.

"Is it Christmas?" The Doctor asked, looking around.
