Hey! This is my first Doctor Who fanfiction! Let me know what you think of it, and don't hesitate to be honest! Peace out, people!
Prologue: A Rough Start
"Rose?" A gentle voice called into the night.
"Yeah?" Rose stuck her head out of the blue Police box, her blonde hair falling over her shoulder.
"There you are, sis! Mum's been so worried!" The beautiful, brunette, 17-year-old Asian girl ran to Rose.
"Hey, Genny!" They embraced, briefly.
"But where have you been all this time?"
"Out," Rose answered, loftily. Genny looked at her sister, confused.
"You've been 'out' for nearly a year? Alone?"
"Well, not exactly alone…"
"What do you mean 'not exactly'?"
"Come here," Rose said, grabbing Genny's hand.
They went into the blue box.
"Whoa!" Genny nearly fainted.
"I know… Bigger on the inside." Rose seemed to be a bit preoccupied.
"Is this a spaceship?" Genny touched one if the strange twisted antler like pillars that held the "ship" together. There were lights all around the inside, and a giant pillar in the middle of the metal grated floor. Around the clear, glowing pillar were a bunch of flashing and bleeping lights along with a few gadgets here and there.
"It's called the TARDIS. Time And Relative Dimensions In Space." Rose said, as though everyone knew that.
"Erm, in English?" Genny said, ducking to avoid being decapitated by a strange flying object buzzing over her head.
"A time machine, basically." Her older sister said, looking up at the mile high ceiling.
"You're kidding!" She said, putting her hands on her hips. Rose turned around in surprise and said, "But I'm not!" Genny looked very hard at her sister, and then started to believe her.
"Okay, I believe you. For now… Who-"
"Rose, I finally figured out that we're back on Earth! Talk about being slow!" An excited, yet puzzled male voice came from somewhere in the back of the TARDIS.
"-Owns this TARDIS?" Genny finished, slowly.
"Oh, and apparently there's been a slight hiccup in the TARDIS's transmission. We could be here for a bit." The voice continued.
"Great to hear, Doctor!" Rose called to whoever was in the back.
"His name's The Doctor," Rose said, simply.
"Doctor who?"
"Just The Doctor. Nothing else."
"Weird name," Genny said, swatting the gadget away from her nose. It crashed to the floor.
"Oh no! No, no, no, no, no, no!" A man with short brown hair and brown eyes ran out of the room. He was attractive, in an action figure kind of way.
"What's happened?" Rose asked, looking concerned.
"Your friend just knocked out my data distributor! That took three years to make! Three bloody years!" He turned on Genny.
"What did you do that for?" He snapped.
"I'm sorry! I didn't like how close it was getting to me."
The man came closer to her. She backed up into a chair, a bit terrified.
"That was the last data distributor from my planet, Gallifrey! And you just demolished it!"
"You're from another planet?"
"If you must know, yes! Now get off my ship!"
"Oi! Go easy on her, Doctor!" Rose said, grabbing his arm. He faced her, giving her an incredulous look.
" 'Go easy on her'? She just destroyed any chance of me knowing where the coordinates of our next location will be!"
"If she goes, I go!"
"Why are you so loyal to your friend?" The Doctor asked, rounding on Rose.
"Because she's my baby sister!" She shouted at him.
The TARDIS hissed loudly. The Doctor looked at Rose in shock, she glared back at him, and Genny sat down in the chair.
"Her name is Genevieve Tyler. She's 17 years old, and I love her to death."
"But she doesn't look a thing like you!"
"That's because Mum adopted me. Actually, she found me."
"Found you? Where?" The Doctor turned around, his leather jacket flapping.
Genevieve paused for a moment, looking at the glowing pillar that she figured must be the source of power for the TARDIS. She took a deep breath before beginning her story.
Flashback: Jackie Tyler was walking with Rose around Big Ben. She noticed this bundle of blankets with a hungry baby inside. Naturally, she looked around for the baby's parents and family. No one had seen that baby before. "Just appeared out of nowhere," people said.
Back on the TARDIS:
"I did get a reading about that from the TARDIS, but I didn't pay attention to it." The Doctor muttered.
"Doctor, you're interrupting her story!" Rose chided him.
"Oh! Sorry about that! Please continue." He put his hands in front of his mouth, his fingertips pressed against his lips and began to pace in front of Genevieve.
Flashback continued:
Jackie took the baby back to her place. She loved that baby, and was delighted to find that she had another girl. She discussed the subject of the name with Rose. They both settled on the name "Genevieve". But Jackie knew she couldn't keep Genevieve forever. Then one stormy night a young woman (at least they thought so at first) came to their door. Genevieve was 8 and Rose was 10. Hearing the doorbell ring, on her way upstairs, Genevieve answered the door and the woman snatched her up!
"Mum! Mum! Someone's taking Genny!" Rose shouted. Jackie belted down the stairs, not even bothering to put a coat on or her shoes, and raced after the woman.
Genevieve was taken to an abandoned shed, somewhere outside of London. There was a flash of blue light. Genevieve had her eyes shut and so she thought it was lightning, but when she opened her eyes there was a monster standing where the woman had been. A horrid green monster with big eyes, rather chubby, very tall, long fingered hands with razor sharp nails, and flat feet.
Back on the TARDIS
"Impossible!" The Doctor declared.
"Interrupting again!" Rose said, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Sorry, sorry!" He motioned for Genevieve to continue, which she did.
Flashback continued, yet again
"I am a member of the Slitheen family, and you will make me rich. Well, if you stay alive that is." The creature laughed a gurgling highpitched sound.
Being a kid, Genevieve didn't know what else to do except scream. Jackie had heard her and hit the Slitheen with a thick tree branch. It stunned the woman, but not for long. Taking advantage of that moment, Jackie took Genevieve in her arms and ran for it. Over her shoulder, Genevieve saw the Slitheen chasing after them, growling and cursing. When they got home, the Slitheen shouted that one day she'd return for what was rightfully hers and no one would stop her.
End of flashback, back on the TARDIS
"We've been dreading that day ever since. And that is why I'm a Tyler. That's why I don't look a thing like Rose. And that's why I want to come with you, Doctor! I want to find that Slitheen and say 'I'm tired if hiding! Come and get me!' " Genevieve paused, waiting for an answer.
"You're either very brave or insane!" The Doctor looked at Genevieve with a big grin.
"I love you!" He picked her up and twirled her around, initially startling her. She laughed as he continued to do so.
"Oh, you are fantastic!" His voice had a whole new tone to it.
"So I take it you're not mad at me anymore?" She tried a smile, which was returned with enthusiasm.
"No, I'm not mad at you! I exaggerated when I said it took me three years to build that! It really took six days!"
"I think it's brilliant!"
"Thank you. Rose got annoyed by it."
"I can't see why." Genevieve smiled at the Doctor again. Rose rolled her eyes.
"Right!" The Doctor clapped his hands together, "So any more passengers or are we clear for take off?"
"Thought you said we couldn't go until the data thing is fixed?" Genevieve asked, her head cocked to one side.
"Data distributor. And it really isn't that important."
She brought her head back to its normal position, frowning at the Doctor and folded her arms.
"What?" He asked, confused. Genevieve looked at her sister. Rose shrugged.
"Ohhhh… Right, erm, sorry about what happened a few moments ago." He looked rather sheepishly at her. She looked cross, and the Doctor thought he'd really blown it. Then she laughed. Rose joined her; the Doctor was totally confused and thought he never would understand women.
"In response to your question earlier, there aren't any more passengers." Genevieve said, through her laughter.
"We're clear," Rose added, still laughing.
"Okay, stop laughing!" He looked cross at them. They swallowed their laughter, and the realized he was smiling. All three laughed, saying how ridiculous the other looked.
"All right, we'd better get going. Unless you want to stay here all night long?" Genevieve smiled.
"She's right, Doctor. Weren't you just talking about the London Blitz?" Rose questioned.
"What? Oh, yeah! Off we go!" The Doctor went to the glowing pillar and pulled a couple of levers and pushed a variety of flashing buttons.
"Grab a hold of something!" Rose called to her, already holding a lever by the center of the TARDIS (as Genevieve now realized it was).
"What?" "Too late!" The TARDIS lurched and Genevieve flipped over the top of her chair. All she said was: "Whoa! What the hell just happened?" "Just the TARDIS taking off through the stars and time. You all right back there?" The Doctor asked, rather quickly. She popped her head up, "Fantastic!"
"By the way, what's with the shirt?" The Doctor asked Rose, a few moments later. "You are wearing the shirt I got for you last year!" Rose looked down at her shirt. "Oh, yeah…" She had a black shirt with a Union flag on it. "It's a nice shirt, Rosie!" "Thanks, Genny! I love your whole outfit!" Genevieve smiled at her sister, twirling around. She had thrown a light tan jacket on over a navy blue shirt and was wearing a knee length lacy white skirt. "Thanks, Rosie!"
The TARDIS jerked to the side. Genevieve lost her balance and fell on her side. "Are you all right?" Rose asked, moving to help her sister. Before she could give an answer, the TARDIS jerked again and she slid across the grated floor, feeling a slight burn on her hands. The doors flew open. "Doctor!" Rose yelled, regaining her balance.
"One second!" He flipped a few more switches, and hit the TARDIS with a rubber mallet. Genevieve slid back, crashing with the opposite wall. "Turning again!" The Doctor shouted. "Wait!" Rose reached for Genevieve's hand, but missed by a centimeter. The TARDIS's doors flew open again. Genevieve slid across the floor again, her hands burned, and she slid almost all the way out.
"Genevieve!" The Doctor yelled, straightening out the TARDIS. She quickly grabbed the edge of the floor of the TARDIS and held on for her life. Her heart hammered against her throat. She felt her fingers losing grip. She looked down and saw London. "Doctor?" She asked, a bit more urgently. "Hold on a moment!" "I am!" Her right shoulder gave in.
"Can't hold on much longer!" "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Her elbow and her forearm began to slide off too. "Rose, I can almost reach her." Genevieve saw the Doctor's hand reaching for hers. Her fingertips almost touched his. Her left hand lost grip and she fell towards Earth, screaming. "No!" The Doctor shouted. Genevieve lost track of the TARDIS, as she continued to fall.
