Escaping the ordinary (a Doctor Who daughter-story)

New, New, New, New ,New ,New Earth.

Wendy's pov:

I had this weird dream, I dreamt that I was in a police-telephonebox with a strange man. I also dreamt that I escaped from the orphanage and that the box was bigger on the inside...What a weird dream!

I gasped for air as my eyes flew open and a beeping sound behind me started going bonkers. "Hey, hey , hey. It's me, It's The Doctor. You're okay, you're fine. Everything will be alright. We're at a hospital in the future on New Earth. Well actually it's new, new , new, new, new , new ,New Earth. Sorry, I got of topic. Anyways - nobody can hurt you as long as I'm here okay. You're okay."

I looked at The Doctor questionably. *It's the man from my dream* I thought to myself. I looked around and noticed that there were loads of humanoid cats walking around the hospital that I was in. Wait a minute... What on earth?! Sorry - what I was meant to sat was - 'What on new, new, new, new, new, New Earth?!'.

"Now don't stare, this is what your species will become in the future. To them you look like some type of pinkish alien." I looked at The Doctor again, now meeting his eyes. Mine not leaving his, I asked "What's wrong with me? Why am I here?". Now realizing that the 'dream' was not a dream I started to slowly believe everything unbelievable around me.

The Doctor's eyes didn't leave mine. His eyes were filled with guilt, but why guilt? Did he know? That's the guilt he's feeling? "You know what's wrong with me and you've known since you scanned me with that stick. You do not need to feel guilty about not telling me before, just please tell me now!" I said in a pleading manner. The Doctor looked to the ground for a couple of seconds, putting his hands in his pockets before looking in to my eyes again. This time, they where filled with sadness. Why sadness? Was my condition that severe?

"You have cancer in your chest and a sickness in your bones that makes them extreamly fragile." I just looked at him in disbelief. I was shocked but not sad. I never had anyone that loved me anyways so what did I have left to do here anyway? "I am so, so sorry".

"Oh it's alright I guess, just a bit of a shock. My name is Wendy by the way." The man looked at me questionably. "Wendy, what a nice name. Wendy, why aren't you sad or frightened like most children would be?". I looked down at my hands, rolling my thumbs that where stuck to the IV. "I'v never really had any reason to stay. My parents left me at the orphanage when I was just a child because they thought that I was too weird. Ben has his girlfriend and he recently found his brother, he's suposed to move in with his brother next month. He never really cared that much about me anyways but he was as close to family that I could get. The kids in school and at the orphanage hit me and tease me, they say it's because I'm weird and ugly. The only reason to stay is to get to live life like they do in the books, a life that's wonderful, full of adventures and unexpected at the same time."

I looked up at The Doctor once again. He was looking at me with pity. "I'm lonely too you know. I'm the last of my kind. I've tried to get other friends, but they're al gone now." I smiled and looked at him. "Well, Doctor - it seems like we're both in a bit of a pickle when it comes to friends.". My comment made him let out a soft chuckle. " I guess we are" he said before turning serious again.

"Even though we're far in to the future there still is no cure to you're condition, but there is a way to make it go slower. There's medicine that can make you live longer. There is a cure to cancer it self but that cure isn't made for humans, I swear Wendy - I will find you a cure."

When he spoke to me he had sat down at the end of the bed, his eyes never leaving mine. I hugged him carefully not rip the tubes that where placed on my body off and said, "Thank you, Doctor." "No problem Wendy, we'll get through this - together. "  My arms tightened around him as I squeezed him a little bit tighter. I think I'v found myself my first friend.

A/N - Ello! Dis is da author speaking! Jk, but I sure do hope that you enjoyed the chapter. This chapter is kind of a filler so it isn't that long. I hope that you enjoy my little story this far. When The Doctor and Wendy visited New Earth this time Martha and The Doctor had already been there and the planet was at peace. I have som ideas for this story that I can't wait to share with you! Thank you once again for reading!

Lots of love, the author.
