Reaching For the Stars

The Beginning of the End

"Why haven't you suggested this earlier? This's amazing".
"Old memories. Last time I did this was with an old friend". The Doctor smiles sadly at the memory of holding Amy Pond's ankle as she floated in space on her first wedding night.
"Such beautiful stars" the Doctor smiles at her girlfriend. Yas's face is brighter than the sun (which is Northeast of the couple). The alien pulls the human into the TARDIS and gently closes the door. The Doctor continues to hold her- staring into her brown eyes.
"Doctor?" the woman whispers- her lips centimetres away from the elder's.
"Yeah?"
"It's my turn".
The Doctor pulls away. "Ummm".
Yas takes a step back. "What is it?"
"Well, Yas, as you know I have never been a woman before. And I'v never had the sensation of..." She points downwards.
"Oh" Yas says in realization. She smiles with her teeth. "It's okay. It's just like french kissing". Khan licks the top row of her teeth.
"No, Yas. I don't want to".
Her lover is a bit taken aback. "You don't have to be so rude".
"I'm not being rude. I said 'no', and then I said 'I don't want to'. You asked for my consent, and I didn't give it to you. You need to respect my decision" .
"Need to? Oh, so now you're the boss of me, is that right?"
"Yas, please, stop putting words into my mouth-"
"Did you or did you not tell me 'you need to', hmm? Did you or did you not?"
"I did, but Yas-"
"But what? What Doctor? You just admitted you did".
The Doctor is speechless.
"Oh, somebody take a picture, the Doctor finally shut up!" The Doctor's mouth drops. "That was uncalled for, Yas. Bellow the fag pack. I don't have to have sex with you. No one is entitled to another's body- no matter what".
"Below the fag pack? Well, your knees are lower than your fag pack, and you loved being on those a few nights ago". she shoots.
The Doctor's eyes flare at the homophobic innuendo. "Wow, that was really mature" she says calmly. "You make homophobic comments to all the women you go out with? Oh wait, I remember: I'm your first girlfriend! You're too scared to come out to your Muslim mother!"
That did it. Yas's mouth opens to fire back, but she closes it, not knowing what to say.
The Doctor's face softens. "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, Yas. I didn't mean it. I- I- I-"
The brunette puts her left hand up to silence the blonde. "I know you didn't mean it" she says. "I'm tired. Would you take me home?"
The Doctor turns to the controls. Not another word spoken, but there's a brief kiss on the Doctor's left cheek before Yas exits from the TARDIS.
