The Girl Who Never Was

I'm Not Dead, You Know

Rose Tyler was sobbing uncontrollably. The doctor put a comforting arm around her.
"Where is she now?" He asked.
"If she's not dead, she's in the courthouse." The police said.
"Thanks." The doctor said, taking Rose's hand as they walked out the door and started running down the street.

Once they reached the courthouse, they heard a bloodcurdling scream. Then silence. The doctor shoved the door open and ran into a large room where a lifeless Lily Tyler lay on the ground, covered in blood. He flashed his psychic paper, and told the judge and the policemen that he would dispose of her body for them. The police nodded and the doctor lifted Lily's body off of the hard wood floors and carried her out the door with a still-crying Rose following.
Once they reached the Tardis and the doctor had set Lily down on the couch, her eyes fluttered open. Rose and the doctor were leaning over her. " I'm not dead, you know." She said. "The bullet didn't even hit me."
Rose's mouth hung open in shock. "B-but I heard you scream. And you're covered in blood." Her voice shook.
"It was an act. When they left the room to get the gun, I covered myself in fake blood that I had in my pocket for emergencies, and when they returned they figured someone else had shot me. Didn't even check for a pulse." Lily said, sitting up.
"Oh, you're brilliant Lily Tyler! Absolutely brilliant!" The doctor said, smiling. Lily smiled back.
Rose took this as an opportunity to actually look at her sister. Her almost-yellow hair was in soft waves going down her back. She had bright blue eyes like Jackie Tyler, and she wore skinny jeans and a black leather jacket, which were all covered in fake blood.
"Why did you have fake blood with you?" Rose asked.
"When I was younger, 3 murderers broke into my home. I ran to my room and locked the door, and found fake blood left over from Halloween. I put it all over myself, so when one guy kicked my door down, he just assumed one of the other guys had killed me first. So they left. Idiots, they were." Lily explained. Rose nodded. "So now I carry a little wherever I go."
"Where to next, darling?" The doctor asked.
"But what about Lily?" She reminded him.
"Right." The doctor walked over to stand in front of Lily. "Lily Tyler, would you like to travel with us?"
