An Unwanted Surprise (A David Tennant fanfic)

The Setting of the Suns

I should have known a problem with her. Everywhere-almost-that the Doctor goes, trouble pops up. I should have known that this place is too good to be true.

First, a slight movement made the sand shake, it was barely noticeable. There were some sink holes in the ground, but they were blocked off. We didn't think much of it, but now I wish we had. The next sign that should have popped out with the clocks. Their countdowns were all wrong, each one was different. But nope, I was oblivious to it all.

Not only am I separated from the Doctor, but this...this...thing in front of me has me captured.

Let's recap to when this started.

So the Doctor and I found marvelous seats for the setting of the suns. The pyramid had one side with a whole wall opening to see the temple. The temple was a small, marble building. It was not far from the pyramid, it was, as the Doctor says, the precise degree and angel away from the pyramid to catch the sun's rays perfectly to reflect. The temple had a reflective mirror on the top of the one of its towers. There were three, one for each sun. The middle one had the mirror for the most reflectivity, the other two only had marble.

Everyone what and shifts for the third son to set, as was I. I looked at one of the countdown clocks to my right, it read: 0 hours 23 minutes, 42 seconds. I looked over to the clock on my left: 0 hours 5 minutes 11 seconds. I showed a puzzled look and turn my body around to see the other clock in the room.

1 hour 47 minutes 20 seconds

"Chloe, what is it?" The Doctor asks, putting his hand on my leg.

I turn around and face him, answering, "The clocks. They have all different times."

He looks around, and face me again. "You're right, they're all different." He looks around again.

It starts getting darker and everyone-or thing-around us quiet down and face towards the temple. The Doctor and I do the same. The Suns are beginning to set. First, the golden one. It lowers in the sky, hitting the marble on the temple perfectly, shining. The next one to set, is the red and orange streaked one. The them slight from the first sun is still shining beautifully on the temple tower. Now, red and orange light fill the darkening sky, capturing beauty all around. My eyes are not moving from the lights, they're so beautiful, and I can't even describe how. This is far more beautiful than anything I could imagine.

The third, and final sun starts setting. It's taking longer to set, and I'm taking in all of its beauty. Its opaque green is shining so bright, and the blue transitions are sparkling, and the middle, the wonderful black, purple, and maroon middle, its colors are swimming around, draping each other and still popping out. I don't even bother to think about the clocks, I just keep my eyes glued onto the breathtaking view. I don't even blink.

As the sun sets father down, I feel the Doctor grab my hand, and for a split second, I glance at him, smiling wide. But it's only a glance, and the next thing I know, I'm starring back at the marvels in front of me. The lights from the other suns are still shining, and the third is almost at the temple tower. I smile wider, and the sun hits its first ray on the tower.

The colors blow me away. The opaque green, transitioning blues, and darker middle colors, reflect so amazing, my heart skips a beat and I can't breathe for a moment.

The lights start for a split second, but then, they retreat, all the way down, and out of sight.

You'd think that everything after that would be fine, but nope, that's when it all went down. Immediately after the third sun set, all hell broke lose.

~~A/N: happy Tennant Tuesday!

I spent a long time to create this chapter, so I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I writing it :-)
