"(Y/N)! I know where we can go!"
He was always so excited to show me new places.
"Your grandparents' wedding. Beautiful ceremony. Very conservative. Always wishing I could relive it over again."
"You were at my grandma's wedding?"
"Of course! Where else did they get the idea for all those stories they told about me?"
It's true. They told me all about the man who saved their wedding and then jumped into a police box, never to be seen again. There actually were police boxes then.
He parked us behind the church and went to get dressed. It was 1969. My mother would be born in 1970. Then I'd come along in 1987. Wow.
I dressed in a simple blue dress that went to my ankles and a pair of shoes to go with it. Doctor threw on a black suit. He always looked good in a suit. I guess that's why he always had on his pinstripe suit.
He offered me his arm and I took it gladly. We were actually going to my grandma's wedding!
"I can't do this!" I heard a young woman exclaim. She ran into the church. That must have been the bride.
"Not much of a blushing bride, is she?" Doctor asked. I elbowed him. "C'mon. We have to make sure they get married!" He pulled me into the church and we chased after my gran. We followed her into a room where she sat by herself, curled up in a puffy white ball of wedding dress.
"Who are you?" she asked us.
"I'm the Doctor, and this is my friend (Y/N). Why do you say you can't go through with the wedding?"
She calmed down and looked at us.
"I'm just scared that as soon as we're married, he's going to run off because I won't be good enough for him." Tears ran down her cheeks and I just wanted to hold her and tell her everything. But I couldn't do that.
"But he won't run off on you. Trust me. Every couple gets the jitters before they get married. But you aren't going to back out. You're going to get married, and grow old with three or four grandchildren, and you're always going to love each other." She dried her eyes and looked at us quizzically.
"You two have nothing to worry about," I said sweetly. I helped her up and hugged her.
"You'll both be excellent parents, by the way." At this point she was pregnant with my mother. "I know what happened, and I promise you that everything will be okay." My grandfather was African American. He and my gran loved each other so much because they fought through everything in the world to be together. Doctor knew that.
I kissed her cheek and gave her a tissue. "It will get better, Helen. I promise. You have nothing to worry about. Charlie is a good man, and he would give the world to be with you." She sniffed and hugged me. Soon, it was time for her to walk down the aisle.
Doctor and I sat in the back of the church and he held my hand tightly.
"You did really well," he whispered. I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Thanks, Doctor. And thank you for bringing me here."
"Just think: your named after the woman who convinced your grandmother to go through with her wedding." I laughed a little to myself. I was named after myself, huh? Awesome.
When the wedding was over, we snuck out and went to get our regular clothes back on. Doctor was sitting in his seat when I came back. I plopped down next to him and he put his arms around me.
"Weddings. Always fun," he sighed. "A bit emotional, though. Why are they crying? Weddings are good things!"
"Those were happy tears, Doctor." I admit, I cried a little. I never saw her that happy before.
"Still, though. Tears were unnecessary. You didn't have to cry."
"Thank you for your concern, you heartless fiend," I laughed. He squeezed my arms and kissed my forehead.
"Any time, my horrible companion. I never should have brought you with me." I hit his chest lightly and hopped up.
"Where to next?" I asked with a smile. His face lit up and he picked me up and spun me.
"Ah! I take back my last statement! Best companion ever!" I was giggling and he kissed my nose before setting me down and running around the controls, figuring out where we would go next.
"I was thinking we could go to Egypt to see the last day of the building of the pyramids. Or maybe we could go see the Berlin Wall fall! Ooh! How about we go to another planet and see the Weeping Woman?" I laughed and hugged him from behind, my arms wrapped tightly around his waist. He stopped and spun around in my embrace.
"Anywhere is great, so long as I'm with you." He hugged me and I stood on my toes to give him a quick kiss on the lips. I loved seeing him this excited about travelling!
He pulled the lever that was behind him and soon we were hurtling through time and space. I clung to him since I didn't really feel like getting thrown around. He laughed and tangled.hisnfangera into my (Y/h/c) hair.
"It's so cute when you cling to me for dear life. But let's hope you only ever have to do that when we're in here." I snuggled into his chest and he smiled at me. "(Y/N), this is probably one of the weirdest times to ask you this..." I looked up at him. "But I really want you to stay with me. Will you... Um... Will you be my eternal companion?"
I kissed him softly. "Of course. Until the day I die, Doctor." He smiled and was practically shaking with excitement!
"Great! So, no time to lose. Let's go see those newly completed pyramids!" I laughed as he jumped around enthusiastically. What a goofball.
My goofball.
