Crossing of my ways season 1 (Doctor Who fanfiction) #Wattys2016

Episode 15: Moving

Hello Whovians!

It was a terrible week, I've almost forgotten to update. I had 4 tests, 3 of them being on Friday. If I'm lucky,I'll get a 5 (as in the highest grade we can get in Slovenia) for all of them.

Anyway, a little bit late update is here.

trigger warning: death and threat of mass murder

It was all fun and games until we landed. Then there was smoke and door shut open and we ran out.

"What's wrong, Doc?" Patricia asked.

"Damage from travelling through the void, I think," Doctor answered and scanned the TARDIS with his screwdriver. Smile on his face slowly faded and at last he silently said: "I'll need one year to fix her."

"You can stay at my house," Will offered.

"Anyway," I yawned, "All this running tired me. I'll go inside."

"Happy birthday again," Patricia smiled and hugged me. Then I turned around and walked to my house in front of which we landed.

"Alya, wait!"

I turned around and looked at the Doctor who called me.

"I almost forgot," he reached into his pocket and handed me my sonic screwdriver.

"Oh, right ..." I almost forgot I owned one.

It was half to midnight when I got in. I didn't expect Emily as I walked into the kitchen to make myself some midnight snack.

She was sitting on her usual seat, glaring at me.

"I knew something like this was to happen," she growled.

"It's just a scratch," I answered, knowing she talked about the wound on my face. "I tripped."

"Your clumsiness is terrible," she giggled. "Get ready for bed and then I'll take care of it."

"You don't ha ..."

"I'll do what I need to do. And besides, you need to get some sleep before the moving van comes."

"Wait what?" I was confused.

"You do remember we're moving, right?"

Now it clicked to me. "Oh, right. I've almost forgotten."

Yeah. It was a long day.

We were moving to a flat of average size in London. She wanted to be closer to her school while I was sick of taking bus to work and so we decided to get a flat there. I was a Physics teacher intern at a school you probably know, since some former companions of the Doctor were teachers there, like Ian, Barbara and Clara. Also, his granddaughter Susan went there for a period of time back in the sixties.

And if you haven't guessed yet, it was in fact Coal Hill School I was talking about.

"Your lack of memory is disturbing, sis. Go to bed already, you're tired. I can tell."

She smiled and pulled me upstairs without letting me finish my cereal. She pushed me into the bathroom we shared and I knew she decided to only let me out when I was finished.

So I got undressed as fast as I could, took a shower and put on my pyjamas.

I got to my room, full of boxes filled with my stuff and noticed Emily sitting on my bed with her first aid kit.
