Dr Who FanFic

The temple of the midnight's children on XxXxX.

"Oh please M. Just one little one. It's not often I get a body like this and I want to take it out for spin. You know, do something new," said the Doctor

"What are we doing here doctor?" said M looking around the dusty space wishing she had brought her flat shoes.

"You know, the usual, it's forbidden, it's not often you get to explore an abandoned Galifrian Temple orbiting a rotating black hole" said the Doctor nonchalantly.

"Nice, What's this?" said M reaching for golden sculpture.

Before the Doctor could say 'no' they were both enveloped in an expanding balloon of crystal light.

M looked around in a daze. She had been teleported to some metal room they were standing in a cylindrical space the interior of some kind of space old freighter.

"What by the power of grayscull was that?" said M as she tripped over some thick black and red power cables.

"It's a TimeLord time bomb. Think of it as a kind of Time Lord Portkey. Except you move to some place in space and time." said the Doctor hands in pockets inspecting the space around them.

"This is a Jirrellian Freight pod, full of junk from all over time," said the Doctor looking around.

"Jirrellian?" said M. She went over to a chest full of platinum jewellery.

"Small planet about 306 parsecs from earth. Nice people Jirrellianians, good with cats. In light years, that's about one...ohoo look at that," said the Doctor looking out of the portal. "Do you want to the good news or the bad?"

"Err the good news," said M looking at the 1000-hp AMS Ronin Nissan GT-R sports car before her.

"Well the good news is we are back near Earth," said the Doctor checking a chronometer "We have gone back to about the first millennium."

"And the bad news. There is always bad news?" said M looking worried.

"How shall I put this?" said the Doctor trying to be tactful "we are about 60 minutes touching down and.."

"WARNING TO CREW OF CMXCIX+1 AIR SUPPLY WILL GIVE OUT IN 16 MINUTES 40 SECONDS." said the voice of the ship's computer.

The Doctor smiled "Unless you're good at holding your breath, I think we aren't going to live. Shame I was going to enjoy this new body."

"Don't just stand there looking smug, do something you time mangling slug" said M in alarm.

The Doctor looked around.

"How big do you think this space is it's about 10 by 10 by 10 meters? How much cubic space is that?" said the doctor walking over to a control panel of ten switches. " A Cyberman universal gas filter, set this up and you can filter out any gas you like thousands of combinations. You flick the switches and you filter anything. Oh Look it's stabilised element 118 you now how long this lasts for in nature about 1/1000th of a second. Let's look for something we can use. Hmm, Look e to the power 6.8 graffiti"

M looked around her walls were covered in scrawled equations like √ 400689 +367= perhaps left by previous victims of the timebomb. She began to shake.

12 Minutes left

"Tubing, three crossed Dalek particle guns, Hmm tanks of water that's useful, pity you're not a fish, " said the doctor going over the junk in the cargo pod. "You notice that all this stuff comes from different time periods? The time lords are trying to kill us, but kill us in the most elegant way possible."

The ship began to shake and shutter scratching the top of the Earth's atmosphere.

7 Minutes left

The Doctor looked at M.

"M" There isn't any breathable gas, said the Doctor as the ship began to rattle as it was buffeted by the touch of the atmosphere.

"This is it. I'm sorry M we've had some good times, but when you hit that time lord booby trap our fates were sealed."

"We are going to die?" said M.

"Look, there is one last thing to ask you. One last request. Something I've never asked anyone before. I can handle death, that black infinity of nothingness, knowing... knowing we had one parting kiss. Something beautiful. You know how it is when you are going to live forever, it's something you never get around to and now I have no time left it's the only thing I realise I ever wanted" said the Doctor.

"Really?" said M.

"Really" The Doctor nodded.

"OK, if it means so much to you," said M.

She braced herself closed her eyes and she and the Doctor kissed. After a moment the Doctor pulled away.

"I take it you've never kissed a girl before?" said the Doctor straightening her dress and smiling.

"Why are you smiling Doctor," said M while the Doctor tied her hair back behind her head.

"I don't get to be a woman often and I always wanted to do that. Oh grab the Platinum and throw it in the tank of water while I get the car battery." said the Doctor.

Minutes later the Doctor had connected a tube up from the water tank to the filter.

"The car battery will electrolyze the water into hydrogen and oxygen and all we need do is filter out the hydrogen, but you need the settings on the filter"

The Doctor flipped the switches carefully saying 1 for down and 0 for up.

"1,1,1,1,1,0,1,0,0,0" she said as she worked each one "ok breathe with me."

The needle on the Oxygen display crept up.

M looked at the Doctor "How on Earth did you know those settings?"

"I didn't, but I know what one thousand is in binary. Hints all over the place. It's a Time Lord trap which means they would expect a Time Lords to be able to escape. There should be a return bracelet on the ground," said the Doctor smiling.

"You tricked me. You are so going to suffer for this!" said M.

She and TheDoctor began laughing.

On the ground in England in 1066 a bright star was seen in the daytime sky, speaking of the death of Kings. William the Conquer looked up "Let's go" he said.
