Trust Me - Eleventh Doctor {1}

Saving The Last Star Whale

  Leila, Amy and Mandy were sitting as they watched The Doctor adjusts the machinery. Then kids walked in. "Timmy!" Mandy yelled and ran over to a small boy. "You made it, you're okay. It's me, Mandy," Mandy said. A tentacle flails behind Mandy, then gently taps her on the shoulder. Leila and Amy watched as she strokes it.

Suddenly, something floated around Leila's and Amy's mind; 'Our children screamed. It came, like a miracle.' 'It won't eat the children.' 'The children screamed, then it came. It's the last of its kind.'

The sisters looked at each other and nodded. They got up and ran to The Doctor. "Doctor, stop. Whatever you're doing, stop it now!" Amy said. Leila walked over to Liz, "Sorry, Your Majesty. Going to need a hand."

Leila dragged Liz to the voting buttons. "Leila, no! No!" The Doctor said. Leila pushed Liz's hand down on the Abdicate button. The Whale roars. Starship UK shakes briefly. "Leila, what have you done?" The Doctor asked. "Nothing at all," Leila said. "We've increased speed," Hawthorne said.

"Yeah, well, you've stopped torturing the pilot. Got to help," Amy said. "It's still here. I don't understand," Liz said. "The Star Whale didn't come like a miracle all those years ago. It volunteered. You didn't have to trap it or torture it. That was all just you. It came because it couldn't stand to watch your children cry. What if you were really old, and really kind and alone? Your whole race dead. No future. What couldn't you do then? If you were that old, and that kind, and the very last of your kind, you couldn't just stand there and watch children cry," Leila said as she looked at The Doctor, and see he was looking at her already.

On the observation deck, The Doctor was looking out. Leila saw him and she ran over to him. "From Her Majesty. She says there will be no more secrets on Starship UK," Leila said with a smile as she hold out Liz's mask to him. "Leila, you could have killed everyone on this ship," The Doctor said.

"You could have killed a Star Whale," Leila said. "And you saved it. I know, I know," The Doctor. "Amazing though, don't you think? The Star Whale. All that pain and misery and loneliness, and it just made it kind," Leila said. "But you couldn't have known how it would react," The Doctor said. "You couldn't. But I've seen it before. Very old and very kind, and the very, very last. Sound a bit familiar?" Leila asked with a soft smile. The Doctor smiled a little and they hugged.

"Hey," Leila started. "What?" The Doctor asked. "Gotcha," Leila said. The Doctor laughed, "Gotcha," He said. They hugged for a moment until someone cleared his throat and they let go. They turned around and see Amy, grinning at them.

Leila smiled at her big sister as she walked over to them. "Oh, I sorry. Did I interrupt you both or something?" Amy asked as she kept smiling at Leila and The Doctor. The Doctor cleared his throat and fixed his bow tie, "No."

Amy grin at him. "Oh really?" She asked and looked at her little sister and then back at The Doctor. "It seems the two of you enjoyed your moment together," Amy said. Leila hit Amy's arm playfully and Amy giggled.

Leila, Amy and The Doctor walked in the London market. "Shouldn't we say goodbye? Won't they wonder where we went?" Leila asked. "For the rest of their lives. Oh, the songs they'll write. Never mind them," The Doctor said as they got to the TARDIS. Leila looked at Amy and smiled. Amy smiled back.

Then there was a phone ringing. "Is that a phone ringing?" Leila asked. The three walked in the TARDIS. "People phone you?" Amy asked. "Well, it's a phone box. Would you mind?" The Doctor asked. Amy answered the trim phone on the console. "Hello? Sorry, who? No, seriously, who? Says he's the Prime Minister. First the Queen, now the Prime Minister. Get about, don't you?" Amy asked.

"Which Prime Minister?" The Doctor asked. "Er, which Prime Minister? The British one," Amy replied. "Which British one?" The Doctor asked. "Which British one? Winston Churchill for you," Amy said. "Oh!" The Doctor said and grabbed the phone from Amy. "Hello, dear. What's up?" The Doctor asked.

Amy walked over to Leila and they looked confused. "Don't worry about a thing, Prime Minister, we're on our way," The Doctor said and hung up. He smiled and the sisters smiled and giggled. The TARDIS dematerializes.
