An Unwanted Surprise (A David Tennant fanfic)

The Return of Datublishopquidop

"Doctor, please tell me that you can see that statute of Datublishopquidop." I point out the window, at the statute.

The Doctor looks again, putting on his glasses, "No, I don't see... Wait a minute, did you say Datublishopquidop?" He looks at me, I at him.

"Yes, can't you see it! There's a statute of Datub right there!" I pointed yet again, looking. Only this time, the statute was gone. I stared, dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, but who is this...Datub?" Mr. Grayson asks.

"He...was...right there..." I say, then something dawns on me: once I looked away, the statute moved. "Doctor, it's a weeping angel."

"This is preposterous! There's nothing there!" Adam says, hugging his daughters, who are terrified.

"No, there is, we just can't see it." The Doctor says, looking out the window, "Oh!" He says, taking off his glasses, "It's in a different time steam! Chloe, the vortex in your head is letting other times bleed through! Ha, it's brilliant!"

"Excuse me, but I think you both should leave." Mr. Grayson said with fury.

"Hold on, please for a second, Mr. Grayson. You see, if the vortex is letting time streams bleed, and you all suddenly turned on each other, and you can't explain why, then I think you're all in danger. People have died, and you can't explain why. You need me."

"It's perfectly explainable, they were sick, very sick. That's why Amanda killed Harold. Then Amanda fell, she's an old woman, the shock killed her!" Mr. Grayson's temper is wearing thin.

"Ok, even if that's what happened, how do you explain the rest if you turning on each other. Hm? You were all getting along fine, then bam! You're killing each other."

"Doctor," I say, "It's the time lines. In another time line, they weren't getting along, and this happened. Doctor, the only thing that can cause this, it's the fourth rift."

Then the ground shakes. Everywhere, things fall. The twins scream. I grab onto the window, but it gives way and shatters. Blood runs down my hand. I feel breaths on my neck. I slowly turn around.

What I see makes me want to scream. But if I scream, then I give him the satisfaction of knowing I'm scared. I can't cave into his wants, I need to let him think that he can't break me. Before me, stands the statute of Datub.

"Doctor..." I trail off because I need to focus. I can't blink, if I blink, he moves. The ground shakes more.

"Right, we need a plan. We need to close the rift! Wait! It's not the fourth rift, the fourth rift was destroyed long ago, but, it's similar. Chloe, it's just like you said, it's similar, because I closed the fourth rift, it's a long story." The ground started caving, and I fell back.

I tired not blinking, but I did. The statute moved closer, "Doctor, not that I don't love your stories, but shut up and think of a plan."

"Right. Let's see, there's, um..." The ground caved more. "Oh! I need to collapse time again!"

"What do you mean, 'collapse time again'?" Adam asked.

"I need to find the rift. And if I'm right, we're standing on it. So," he grabs something out of his pocket, "Time rewriter thingy! I knew making a back up when I last rewrote time would come in handy!" The ground shook, and I blinked. Datub moved closer, "Allons-y!"

I stepped out of the Tardis. But something didn't feel right. I felt like something was off.

"Doctor..."

"Chloe, we should go." He said. Then everything came back to me: the time lines bleeding, Datub, rewriting time.

"How come I can remember it?" I asked.

"Because, you were at the eye of the storm, the rift was right under you. That's why the vortex let you see the time streams bleeding. It's closed now, but we shouldn't stay, the paradox could open the rift again."

With that being said, we walked back into the Tardis.
