As I walked passed the threshold into the control room of the TARDIS, I saw my Doctor. He’s leaned over the console staring at a monitor with a lanky relaxed charm that the last version of him never had. His suit and tie was so trim and proper. And that hair. The only person who loved that head of hair more than I did was him. Even at that moment, as he pondered some issue of time and space, his hands couldn't resist the call to run though the spiky universe of those follicles.
"Whatcha doin?” I asked, curious if we were about to begin our next adventure. I was still reeling from saving the Doctor from the Isolus but I was hoping for a moment to reflect and spend some time with him not running away from dangerous situations.
“Oh just checking up on the ole’ girl.”
"Is she ok?"
"Oh ya! She’s fine. Where do you want to go next? We could meet Shakespeare or visit the diamond waterfalls of Midnight, any where or when you want. "
"I need to go see my mother," I said knowing he won't be very excited about this. He's learned to like Jackie but visiting her would not be his first choice.
"Are you sure? There are so many amazing places to visit. Have you ever seen Pompeii?"
"I need to do this Doctor. I've been away too long."
"Too long? We're in a TARDIS. We can go back to any time."
"I've been away too long. I need to see her. " My Doctor, was always up for an adventure but never fit for real life.
"Well ok." He said as he leaned back on one of the console room chairs looking a bit downtrodden. This was the opportunity I had been looking for. Some down time in the TARDIS with my Doctor and a reason to cheer him up with a little sexy persuasion.
Earlier, he had admonished me when I remarked that “they keep trying to split us up but they never will”. He wanted to keep me around forever, but had already experienced so much loss he was wary to say "never’s and forever’s". But if I was going to be traveling with this crazy man for a long time, we needed to establish something more intimate. I had needs.
