There really isn't a great deal to post about lately, and I'd rather post about something than nothing, so in preparation for my new Fan Fiction Series, here's a preview from the first episode!
The Doctor was just setting some controls inside the TARDIS, when the silver mobile resting on top of the console began ringing. He looked up at it in alarm and recognised the number. “Martha…” he whispered.
He quickly grabbed the phone and, after taking a deep breath, held it to his ear.
“Miss Jones,” he said, grinning a little. “How nice to hear from you.”
There was a short laugh down the line, “Perhaps it isn’t so nice really, considering there’s an emergency.”
The Doctor sighed, “I know. I’ve detected some strange waves coming from the Earth. Then again, that’s nothing new. I tell you, the amount of stuff which comes from that planet, it’s so noisy! It’s like…”
“Doctor,” Martha interrupted. “You’re rambling again.”
He blinked, “Sorry.”
“Anyway, everyone’s been acting strangely. Like… speaking what’s on their mind. It’s a little inconvenient, being on my wedding day.”
The Doctor sucked in some air, “Wedding day?”
“Yes, Doctor, I’m getting married today. Remember the ring?”
The Doctor nodded slowly to himself, “Yes… I… well, I didn’t expect it so soon.” He paused, “Where’s my invite?”
“Sorry, it must have got lost in the Vortex.” She hesitated, “I didn’t think you’d be able to come. Y’know, being busy saving planets and all.”
“Yeah…” the Doctor sighed, staring into space. “Anyway, about all this… I’ve detected where the wave is coming from…”
“What are you gonna do?”
“Well, I was going to order whatever species is doing this to stop.”
Martha laughed, “Sounds simple.”
“Meh,” the Doctor shrugged. “This is a quiet day for me really.”
“Well would you mind hurrying? The wedding’s in an hour and the in-laws are becoming irritable,” she paused. “You can come, if you like.”
The Doctor hesitated, “I’ll see. I might speak to you later.”
And with that, he was gone. He stared ahead for a moment, before setting the controls once more.
The series will begin later this month.
Being the fantastic show that it is, Doctor Who was bound to get some nominations at this year's National Television Awards. Speaking of which, it was nearly a year ago that David Tennant announced his departure while accepting his award... *sob*
