Take Me Away In Your Big Blue Box

The Great One

***Riahh's POV***

I sat at a light colored wooden table; a bowl of Apple Jacks were placed in front of me. I stared at the bowl for awhile. How in the hell does he have Apple Jacks? Did he just wake up one morning and decide to come to my time and buy cereal? Who does that? Then again, he's the only time lord I've ever met. I wonder what they're like, timelords. I stood up, placed my bowl in sink, and left. "Are there more of you?" I asked as I walked up behind him. "More of me?" he asked turning towards me. "Timelords," I answered, "are there more?" "Ahah, no. They're all gone." he replied. "All gone? What happened?" "There was a war, a time war. Now they're all gone." His voice was low and solemn. "Just you are left? That's it?" I asked confused. "Just me. Do you need more?" "Nope," I replied trying to smile, hoping to ease the situation. "Alright then! Anywhere in Particular Mariah Vasquez?" "How about..." I thought for awhile, "...another planet perhaps?" The Doctor smiled widely, "Geronimo." "Geronimo indeed," I said.

Not too long after, we showed up at what seemed to be another planet. I opened the doors and peaked outside. A little boy stood right in front of the TARDIS, just looking straight up at me. "Why hello little boy, what's your name?" "Alonzo," the boy answered excitedly as most kids would. The Doctor followed behind me not long after, "ah, well who are you?" he asked the boy. "Alonzo," I answered. "I've always liked the name Alonzo." The little boy turned and walked down a dirt path, we followed behind, interested in what we might find. "Do you love her?" I whispered to the Doctor. "Who?" he asked confused. "Alex, do you love her?" "I did," he replied solemnly. "Did? You don't anymore?" I asked. "I do, it's just different now." "Different," I repeated. "In this life I've loved, and loved, and loved again. But love leads to pain when you have to say goodbye, I hate goodbyes." I didn't reply, I didn't need to. I just kept walking, keeping silent. "I never got the chance to not say goodbye to you, I lost you." "Well I'm here Doctor," I assured him. He turned to look at me, pain and relief on his face simultaneously. My heart warmed and raced as he stared; I turned away in fear I might blush.

The boy stopped in the middle of the road. He turned to face us. His eyes were pale. "The Great One does not want you here," he said in monotone. "What?" I asked confused. "The Great One does n-," he started to repeat before being cut off. "ALONZO! There you are, I was worried sick!" cried a woman running to what appeared to be her son. "Thank God, you found him!" she cried. "Of course, " the Doctor replied. "The Great One does not want you here," she said in monotone. "Excuse me?" the Doctor asked. "I said thank God you found him." The woman walked away with her boy like nothing had happened. "That was weird," I said to the Doctor. "Something's not right here," he replied. "And why do they look like humans if we are on another planet?" I asked. "A lot of species resemble humans, it's a quite desirable form."

***Riahh's Flashback***

"I love you Mariah," he whispered to me. "I.. you know I love you Wade," I started. "But you're with Alex." "I don't have to be," he suggested. "It still couldn't happen, you are her first love, I would never do that to my sister." "I don't love her like I love you Ri," he protested. "She's my sister, Wade. Just no." He took my face in his hands. "Wade don't," I pleaded. He didn't listen; he kissed me. I raised my hand and smacked him as hard as I could. He just nodded and walked away. He knew I wasn't changing my mind. I stood there for what seemed like hours, I checked my phone, 2:30. It'd only been twenty minutes. I wiped the tears from my face and sent on my way home. I reached the steps of my house and stopped, I just stared. I had to go in, I didn't want to, I did it anyway. She stood there starting at the tv, which wasn't on. "It's over," she said blankly. "I know," I replied. She looked over at me, "did you love him?" "Yes... But I would never, I could never, you're my sister." "Damn right," she said sternly, walking away into another part of the house. I walked after her, I couldn't have her hate me. "Do you hate me?" I asked as I approached her. "No," she was silent for awhile, "he cheated on me with someone else." "Oh my god, AlliCat, I'm so sorry," I whispered. "You're my sister, forever and always," she said gently, "but this can never happen again." I nodded, I never want this to happen again.

***End Of Flashback***

"Did she love you?" I asked the doctor. "Yes," he said. "Why'd you leave?" I continued. "Her sister was dead, and it was my fault. Who stays after that?" he said plainly. "How'd I die?" "There was a man, his name was Kyro. He was from the planet Lotham, he was my friend. Until he betrayed me, betrayed us. And you darling, were standing right in front of the gun."

We found ourselves in what seemed like a farmer's market. An old woman stopped me in the middle of the road "a pretty woman like yourself should have a pin," she said as she handed me a small silver pin. "On the house my dear," she said. "Oh no I couldn't," I assured. "Please my child, let an old woman do a nice gesture to a pretty young thing like you." "Thank you." I looked hard at the pin. It was small and silver. It was the shape of a dove with emerald eyes. "Where'd you get that?" Doctor asked. "Old lady just gave it to me," I replied. "Ah, well that's nice," he said. I nodded in agreement. The Doctor pinned it on for me. We walked amongst the people, looking at trinkets and trying samples of food. Another old lady stopped us and leaned very closely and spoke, "you must leave." "Excuse me?" the Doctor asked. "There's an evil on this planet, and she doesn't take kind to visitors. The Great One does not want you here, you must go before she hurts you." The lady quickly went back to her stand.

"I'm really starting to think the whole place has is mad," I joked. "I really need to meet this Great One, I fear for the people," he said. "By all means Doctor, save the cheerleader, save the world," I said. "What cheerleader?" he asked. I chuckled and replied, "never mind." "What are we going to do then," I asked. "Find out just where this Great One is, she may not want us here, but I'm not leaving until I find out what she's done to this planet."
