The Doctor's wife

Alyssa appeared in a different tardis then the one she was used to this time. She heard the Eleventh's doctor's voice pacing around the mainframe of the tardis she looked around and saw, that she was back in the tardis after he had regenerated. She watched as the doctor walked around and Rory was sitting on some steps as the doctor turned away from him to walk around the console. Alyssa smiled at Rory and cleared her voice and the Doctor whipped around the console and said "Alyssa!" as he walked over and gave her a hug. She took it gladly and watched as Amy came down some steps, Rory asked her something and Amy responded and she looked at Alyssa and kept walking. Rory gave her an apologetic look before following after her. That's when Alyssa knew where she was and what happened next only confirmed it. The sound of someone knocking on the Tardis door sounded. The doctor looked at it confusingly and Amy and Rory came up the steps instantly

"what was that?" Rory asked,

"Something knocked on the door," Alyssa responded as she followed the doctor closer with much interest. This was the most recent season of Doctor who, she had watched so she didn't remember this season as much as she did the others. "Right we are in deep space," Rory said to confirm the fact.

"Very very deep." The Doctor confirmed as the door knocked again the Alyssa and The Doctor raced to the door.

"So we are in deep space and something is knocking on the door, how fun," Alyssa said as she opened the door to find a glowing cube.

"Oh, come here. Come here, you scrumptious little beauty." Tthe Doctor said, as he reached out to grab it, The cube raced inside, the Doctor and Alyssa both fell back as the two turned around to grab the cube but it was too fast. Sparks flew as it bounced around the Tardis before heading back towards the doctor and Alyssa before hitting Alyssa's chest making her fall to the floor she grabbed the cube as the Doctor helped her up. She looked down at it,

"What is it?" Alyssa asked, holding it up to the Doctor who took it from her and smiled,

"We've got mail!" he said a little bit excited. Alyssa frowned as she tried to rack her brain for this episode, She remembered seeing this episode, but she couldn't place exactly what happened she followed the doctor up to the console as he messed around with the controls in order to go back from where the cube came from. She dug through her pockets as she listened to the Doctor explain what it was to Amy and Rory. She began to write down what she knew so far, mail, a time lord being out there, but the way she used to do this no longer seemed this was a great way for her past self to get the details but not for this version. She let out a disgruntled sigh as she looked up at the Doctor as he excitedly said: "there's a living Time Lord still out there, and it's one of the good ones."

"You said there weren't any other Time Lords left," Rory said, not believing the Doctor,

"There are no Time Lords left anywhere in the universe. But the universe isn't where we're going. See that snake?" The doctor said, and he threw the box at Amy who caught it. Alyssa walked over to the two and looked down at the box as he showed Rory and Amy, a symbol. It was a snake that was eating its own tail.

"The mark of the Corsair. Fantastic bloke. He had that snake as a tattoo in every regeneration. Didn't feel like himself unless he had the tattoo. Or herself, a couple of times. Ooo, she was a bad girl." The Doctor said as he went back to piloting the Tardis. Suddenly sparks flew around and the Tardis suddenly went haywire. Alyssa instantly grabbed the console as she tried to keep herself steady.

"Oh, what is happening?" Rory yelled as he also tried to keep himself stable.

"We're leaving the universe." The Doctor yelled back

"How can you leave the universe?" Amy asked,

"With enormous difficulty. Right now I'm burning up Tardis rooms to give us some welly. Goodbye, swimming pool. Goodbye, scullery. Sayonara, squash court seven." The Doctor said as he deleted some of the rooms of the Tardis. Alyssa fell back onto the ground from the sudden impact of them landing

"Okay, okay. Where are we?" Amy asked,

"Outside the universe, where we've never, ever been." The Doctor said, as he helped Alyssa up. All the lights inside the Tardis suddenly went out. Alyssa looked at the Console confused, she knew this wasn't normal. The only light that remained was the console

"Is that meant to be happening?" Rory asked as he looked at the console as well. The Doctor started messing with console once more as he tried to find out what happened.

"The power, it's draining. Everything's draining. But it can't. That's, that's impossible." The Doctor said, Alyssa turned around as she felt for her notebook once more.

"What is that?" Rory asked,

"It's as if the Matrix, the soul of the Tardis, has just vanished. Where would it go?" The Doctor said, Alyssa began scribbling down titles of episodes she remembered throughout this season as well as a brief description of the episode. She finally broke through and she remembered what episode she was in now. A soft smile went across her face as she put her hand on the Tardis

"I can't wait to finally meet you." She whispered, She looked up and saw that the Doctor was now at the door looking out. She instantly joined him as they walked out onto what looked like a deserted planet with what looked like ship parts. "so what kind of trouble's your friend in?" Amy asked as she followed the two outside the Tardis.

"He was in a bind. A bit of a pickle. Sort of distressed." the Doctor said, not looking back at Amy,

"Ah, you can't just say you don't know."

"You don't know if he doesn't know, Amy," Alyssa called out to Amy, as she watched Amy mess with some stuff. Rory walked up behind the Doctor and Alyssa,

"But what is this place? The scrapyard at the end of the universe?"

"Not end of, trust me we been there and it is not pretty. We are OUTSIDE the universe." Alyssa said as she rejoined the doctor, as he turned around and threw his arm around Rory's shoulder and they walked together.

"How we can we be outside the universe? The universe is everything." Rory asked,

"Do you honestly believe that life just stops outside the universe, Rory? No one else has a Tardis no one else can really check if that is really the case." Alyssa said, as she followed the two, Rory was about to respond to Alyssa when the Doctor cut in,

"Imagine a great big soap bubble with one of those tiny little bubbles on the outside."

"Doctor Dear, do not confuse my friend Rory with analogies that have nothing to do with what you are talking about," Alyssa said, as they made there way back over to the Tardis. Rory threw h up his hands as he realized the Doctor was just dragging him on not giving him the actual meaning.

"You Alyssa ruin my fun." The Doctor said, looking at Alyssa who just looked at him innocently, he turned back to the tardis and continued "Completely drained. Look at her." as he put his hands on the Tardis.

"Wait. So we're in a tiny bubble universe, sticking to the side of the bigger bubble universe?" Amy said, going off of what the Doctor had first said,

"Yeah. No. But if it helps, yes. This place is full of rift energy. She'll probably refuel just by being here." The Doctor said, answering her question before turning around and examining the area again "Now, this place. What do we think, eh? Gravity's almost Earth-normal" as he threw a rock up and watched as it fell to the ground He walked forward, "Air's breathable, but it smells like" he continued as he jumped into a tub, Alyssa letting out a giggle as he did,

"Armpits," Amy said, as she offered a word for the place smelt like, which the Doctor took as he repeated her.

"What about all this stuff? Where did this come from?" Rory asked as he touched one of the many scrap metals.

"Well, there's a rift. Now and then stuff gets sucked through it. Not a bubble, a plughole. The universe has a plughole and we've just fallen down it."

"Thief! Thief! You're my thief!" A voice called out, Alyssa smiled as a woman ran towards the doctor and grabbed him she looked at Alyssa "And you're my angel!" She looked back down at the ground as she said "wait there's a word missing there, Golden wait no, actually yes! My golden angel!" Alyssa smiled at her as she struggled over her words before finally landing on one. The woman turned back to the Doctor, " Look at you. Goodbye. No, not goodbye, what's the other one?" Before she kissed the Doctor, the two people who had followed the woman pulled her back

"Watch out. Careful. Keep back from her. Welcome, strangers. Lovely. Sorry about the mad person." The man said as the Doctor whipped his mouth,

"Why am I a thief? What have I stolen?" The Doctor asked the women said,

"Me. You're going to steal me. No, you have stolen me. You are stealing me. Oh tenses are difficult, aren't they?" the woman said, Alyssa couldn't help giggling as the woman walked over to her and stared at her for a second, she had a look in her eyes like she was about to tell her something important before it was gone. Alyssa frowned as the woman walked away and to Amy and grabbed her hair. Before walking away again, Alyssa's attention was brought back towards the two people who came with the female

"Oh. Oh, we are sorry, my dove. She's off her head. They call me Auntie." The Female said, As she shook Alyssa's and the Doctor's head, the man came forward and introduced himself as well

"And I'm Uncle. I'm everybody's Uncle. Just keep back from this one. She bites!" Uncle said, as the crazed woman came back over to the four.

"Do I? Excellent." She said, as she lunged forward and bit the doctor's ear. Everyone jumped into action to get the woman off the female, as the Doctor said "Ow! Ow!" Before she was finally pulled away from the Doctor by the uncle, "Biting's excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner." she said, from behind Uncle.

" So sorry. She's doolally." Uncle said as if that explained everything.

"No, I'm not doolally. I'm, I'm. It's on the tip of my tongue. I've just had a new idea about kissing. Come here, you." but instead of going for the Doctor she went towards Alyssa who quickly ducked out of the way and ran behind the Doctor, Amy and Rory who took a position to keep her away from her.

"No, Idris, no." Auntie said, and the crazed woman's eyes snapped to the Doctor who looked annoyed with what was just about to happen but not angry

"Oh, but now you're angry. No, you're not. You will be angry. The little boxes will make you angry." The woman said before her eyes snapped to Alyssa's once more "and you very very sad,"

"Sorry? The little what? Boxes?" The Doctor said, finally relaxing from his position in front of Alyssa. He had a look of absolute fascination as he walked forward only for the woman to grab his chin

"Oh, ho, no. Your chin is hilarious." She said, before letting go of it and turning her attention to Amy and Rory who were still in front of Alyssa, "It means the smell of dust after rain."

"What does?" Rory asked, confused by what she just said,

"Petrichor." Alyssa and the woman said together. Rory looked between the two confused

"But I didn't ask." Rory said,

"Not yet. But you will," she said in response.

"No, no, Idris. I think you should have a rest." Auntie said as she tried to get Idris away from the four.

"Rest. Yes, yes. Good idea. I'll just see if there's an off switch." Idris said, Before she just collapsed. Alyssa broke through Amy and Rory and caught her and with the help of Rory sat her down gently.

"Is that it? She dead now. So sad." Uncle said, not surprised and more relaxed thinking she had just died.

"No, she's still breathing," Rory said,

"Nephew, take Idris somewhere she can not bite people." Uncle said, and the Doctor and Alyssa turned around to see an Ood

"Hello there!" Alyssa said as a small smile came across her face.

"Oh, hello!" the Doctor said, Amy turned and jumped in shock,

"Doctor, what is that?" Amy asked,

"Oh, no, it's all right. It's an Ood. Oods are good. Love an Ood." the Doctor said, as he walked over to him with Alyssa following him "Hello, Ood. Can't you talk?" No response came from the Ood "Oh, I see. It's damaged. May I? It might just be on the wrong frequency." He asked before he took the orb and popped off the top to repair it.

"Nephew was broken when he came here. Why he was half dead. House repaired him. House repaired all of us." Auntie said as the Doctor flipped a switch in the orb a voices cut through the air and Alyssa reeled back a bit as a part of the voices sounded really familiar a bit too familiar. A man's voice was the loudest

"If you are receiving this message, please help me. Send a signal to the High Council of the Time Lords on Gallifrey. Tell them that I am still alive. I don't know where I am. I'm on some rock-like planet." The man said, Alyssa looked at the Doctor who was looking around as if he recognized the voices. Alyssa only kind of recognized a female voice, one she couldn't really hear due to the man. The Doctor looked at her with a shocked look on his face the silence between the two was broken as Rory was the first one to speak.

"What was that? Was that him?" Rory said, thinking that the male voice was the Ood.

"No, no. It's picking up something else. But that's, that's not possible. That's, that's. Who else is here? Tell me. Show me. Show me." The Doctor said as he advanced on Auntie and Uncle. Knowing that due to the cascade of voices there was a possibility that more time lords could be here. Alyssa was frozen as she stared at the Ood, in shock since something inside her recognized one of the voices.

"Just what you see. Just the four of us, and the House. Nephew, will you take Idris somewhere safe where she can't hurt nobody?" Auntie said that is what finally broke Alyssa out of her stillness as she walked over to the Doctor.

"The House? What's the House?" The Doctor asked as Nephew did what Auntie asked,

"House is all around you, my sweets. You are standing on him. This is the House. This world. Would you like to meet him?" Auntie said,

"Meet him?" Rory said, which caused the Doctor to hold up a finger to him

"I'd love to." the Doctor said, Auntie and Uncle started to turn around to lead them to where they can meet the House.

"This way. Come, please. Come." Uncle said, as he turned around and started walking.

"What's wrong? What were those voices?" Amy said,

"Time Lords. It's not just the Corsair. Somewhere close by there are lots and lots of Time Lords." he said, before he turned around and began to follow the two, Alyssa's hand snuck down and grabbed the Doctor's hand

"I recognized one of those voices. Doctor, not from my foreknowledge, from my past." Alyssa whispered, The Doctor's eyes snapped to hers

"are you sure?" he whispered,

"Yes! But why would I recognize something? I thought you wiped my past from my memories."

"There may be some things that linger," he said, looking back at the two who were leading them. This was the first time he heard of Alyssa recognizing something from her past. He did remember that she did once say she remembered home, and maybe this was why. Yet he was the one to wipe them. His thoughts were interrupted when Alyssa said

"If there are things that linger Doctor. Does that mean there is a way to get my memories back?" she said, the Doctor said nothing and they continued following Uncle and Auntie in silence.

They soon made their way something like a building where there was a grate on the floor. The Doctor went forward and looked down it

"Come. Come, come. You can see the House and he can look at you." Uncle said, Alyssa joined the Doctor and looked down the grating.

"I see. This asteroid is sentient." The Doctor said, finally coming to the conclusion what House was.

"We walk on his back, breathe his air, eat his food," Auntie said,

"Smell its armpits," Amy said from behind the two.

"And do my will. You are most welcome, travelers." A voice suddenly spoke out through Auntie, Uncle, and Nephew.

"Doctor, that voice. That's the asteroid talking?" Amy asked,

"Yes. So you're like a sea urchin. Hard outer surface, that's the planet we're walking on. Big, squashy, oogly thing inside, that's you." The Doctor said,

"That is correct, Time Lord." The House said,

"Ah. So you've met Time Lords before?" The Doctor said, in realization

"Many travelers have come through the rift, like Auntie and Uncle and Nephew. I repair them when they break." House said as the Doctor walked back over to Auntie and Uncle.

"So there are Time Lords here, then?"

"Not anymore, but there have been many Tardises on my back in days gone by."

"Well, there won't be anymore after us. Last Time Lord, Last Time Lady. Last Tardis." the Doctor said, as he turned around and walked forward.

"A pity. Your people were so kind. Be here in safety, Doctor. Rest, feed, if you will." The House said and then released his hold over the three. Who instantly began to walk forward to group

"We're not actually going to stay here, are we?" Rory asked,

"Hopefully not." Alyssa said,

"Well, it seems like a friendly planet. Literally. Mind if we poke around a bit?" The doctor said, talking to the other three.

"You can look all you want. Go. Look." Auntie said, walking forward to amy, and she grabbed Amy's face the Doctor and Alyssa both noticed that the arms were different"House loves you."

"Come on then, gang. We're just going to, er, see the sights." the Doctor said, and the four left the room to see what else this asteroid had to offer.

They walked through different tunnels on the Asteroid before they heard the shouts of Idris calling out for the two of them. Alyssa gave a look to the Doctor and they both stopped and shushed Rory and Amy. "So, as soon as the Tardis is refueled, we go, yeah?" Rory asked,

"No. There are Time Lords here. I heard them and they need me."

"Us," Alyssa said, the Doctor looked at her and nodded,

" You told me about your people, and you told me what you did," Amy said, Alyssa looked down at the ground, Alyssa wanted nothing more than at that moment to remember her past. Clearly there was a way to do it.

"Yes, yes, but if they're like the Corsair, they're good one and I can save them." The Doctor said, turning around towards Amy

"And then tell them you destroyed the others?" Amy asked,

"I can explain. Tell them why I had to." the Doctor said,

"You want to be forgiven," Amy said, coming to the conclusion. Alyssa looked at the Doctor who had walked away and was facing away from the three. She walked forward and took his hand. Her eyes told him that she had forgiven him long ago. It was her home too, and if she was able to forgive him, maybe the others could as well.

"Don't we all?" he finally said, he looked at Amy and Rory before he tightened his grip on Alyssa's hand.

"What do you need from me?" Amy said, making it clear she was going to help him.

"My screwdriver. I left it in the Tardis. It's in my jacket." The Doctor said,

"You're wearing your jacket," Rory commented,

"My other jacket." The Doctor said it was common knowledge,

"You have two of those?"

"Who only has one Jacket Rory? Come on Rory do you have only one jacket?" Alyssa asked, staring at him, He said nothing as Amy stopped the conversation when she said

"Okay, I'll get it. But Doctor, listen to me. Don't get emotional because that's when you make mistakes." Amy asked

"Don't worry Amy, I will make sure he doesn't make any serious mistakes," Alyssa said

"Even you make mistakes Alyssa, just be careful you two," Amy said as she threw Alyssa her mobile phone, which she easily caught

"Yes, boss." the Doctor said,

"I'll call you from the Tardis. Rory, look after them." Amy said before she turned around to go back to the Tardis. Leaving Rory behind with them, which the Doctor quickly changed when he said: "Rory, look after her."

"Yeah," Rory said, and he turned around and followed Amy to the Tardis. Alyssa turned to the Doctor and shook her head,

"Oh Amy, Rory can you please go back to the Tardis, I have a weird feeling of this place and I want you two to be safe." She said to the Doctor "Is that so hard to say?"

"Yes because they wouldn't listen to me." The Doctor said, starting forward again Alyssa just shook her head once more before following after him. "You never answered me, Doc, is there a way to get my memories back?"

"Why?" the Doctor asked, Alyssa, blinked at the question as she never expected that to be the question the Doctor would've asked her.

"I want to remember our HOME Doctor, I want to remember Gallifrey heck I want to remember my brother, more than just him being our memory. I am a Time Lady who has no idea about my home, and honestly, I want to know. I want to remember when I was Tanda. I will always be Alyssa now but it was a part of my life. Doctor, I can't just ignore it." Alyssa said, taking his hand "If there is a way Doctor please tell me."

"I think there is I don't remember what exactly I did with your memories but I will remember I promise." the Doctor said softly before taking her hand. Alyssa smiled at him as the phone in her hand rang.

"Hey we're here screwdriver's in the Doctor's jacket yeah?" Amy asked,

"Yes.." She said as she watched the Doctor take out his screwdriver and clicked it on. Amy hung up the phone and they continued on there way. He stopped and looked around as he said

"Come on. Where are you? Now, where are you all? Where are you?" The Doctor muttered as he closed his eyes searching for something. His eyes settled on a curtain that was over a passageway. The Doctor and Alyssa walked over and they pulled the curtain back to see a small alcove.

"Well, they can't all be in here." the Doctor said

"Yes they can Doctor I am so so sorry," Alyssa said as she walked over and opened a cabinet showing many cubes, she couldn't help the tears that came to her eyes as she watched the Doctor come over and look at the distress signals of Time Lords. Many voices drifted through her head, and she said it once more to the Doctor "I am so so sorry." the Doctor said nothing as he looked at all the boxes. Auntie and Uncle walked up behind them and the Doctor noticed.

"Just admiring your Time Lord distress signal collection. Nice job. Brilliant job. Really thought we had some friends here, but this is what the Ood translator picked up. Cries for help from the long dead." He said, The Doctor turned to them, but Alyssa couldn't tear her eyes away from one box as somehow a distant memory of a place with a red sky flashed over her vision as she chased after a friend. The two were laughing. She couldn't help but realize that if the voice belonged to anyone she knew that had to be her. The memory faded as quickly as it came, "How many Time Lords have you lured here the way you lured me, and what happened to them all?"

"House, House is kind and he is wise." Auntie said, and that's what made Alyssa snap around

"So that makes it alright? He is kind and wise? I don't think so someone who was kind wouldn't use this cheap of a method to lure the last of a race to him this is anything but kind but I guess you wouldn't know what that means! Would you! You are just grateful because," Alyssa said, she couldn't continue as the tears were coming much more quickly now. They gave the Doctor hope and she couldn't help the anger and sadness he was feeling was also on her head too. The Doctor held a hand up and continued her thought

"House repairs you when you break. Yes, I know." The Doctor said, he went forward angrily and caused them to back up as he leaned over them. "But how does he mend you?" he took out his sonic screwdriver on the two before he took notice of something "You've got the eyes of a twenty-year-old," he said to Uncle

"Thank you." He said, thinking he was complimenting him, but he wasn't and he made it clear.

"No. Oh, no, I mean it literally. Your eyes are thirty years younger than the rest of you. Your ears don't match, your right arm is two inches longer than you're left, and how's your dancing? Because you've got two left feet. Patchwork people. You've been repaired and patched up so often, I doubt there's anything left of what used to be you. I had an umbrella-like you once." He said listening off everything wrong about the two. Before he grabbed Auntie's arm to examine it before she took it away and said "Oh, now, it's been a great arm for me, this." lifting it up and exposing a tattoo, a snake eating its own tail. The mark of Corsair. The Doctor grabbed the arm and said, "Corsair."

"He was a strapping big bloke, wasn't he, Uncle?" Auntie said, like it was normal

"Big fellow." the uncle responded

"I got the arm and then Uncle got the spine and the kidneys."

"Kidneys." The Uncle said,

"You gave me hope, and then you took it away. That's enough to make anyone dangerous. God knows what it will do to me. Basically, run!" The Doctor said, Auntie turned around and left and Uncle walked backward,

"Poor old Time Lord. Too late. House is too clever." Uncle said, before leaving himself. The Doctor was left in silence but sobs broke through the silence as well a phone ringing. Alyssa looked down at the phone in her hand and watched as it was taken away from her.

"No sonic screwdriver. Also the doors seemed to have locked behind us. Rory thinks there's a perfectly innocent explanation, but I think the Doctor lied to us." Amy said,

"Time Lord stuff. Needed you out of the way." The Doctor responded,

"What, we're not good enough. For your smart new friends?"

"The boxes will make you angry and very very sad. How could she know?"

"Doctor, what are you talking about? Is that sobbing I hear what happened?" Amy said, in the Tardis as somehow her phone picked up Alyssa's sobbing.

"Stay put. Stay exactly where you are." before hanging up, he turned around and looked at Alyssa, who was back to staring at the boxes.

"I should've said something." She said through her sobs. "Maybe then something would've been different. I am as much to blame as the three of them are."

"You will never be to blame Alyssa, never," he said as he took her into a hug, soon Alyssa's sobs stopped and the two went to find Idris, who yelled as soon as they found her. "How did you know about the boxes? You said they'd make me angry and Alyssa very sad. How did you know?"

"Doctor there is no need to shout," Alyssa said, as she smiled at Idris.

"Ah, it's my thief and my golden angel."

"Who are you?"

"it's about time," Idris said as she opened her eyes and looked at the Doctor.

"I don't understand. Who are you?"

"Do you not know me? Just because they put me in here?" Idris said,

"I know you and It's wonderful to finally meet you!" Alyssa said as she smiled at her,

"I know you are my Golden Angel, you know everything, that's probably my fault." Idris said, Alyssa looked at her in confusion. How could her knowledge be her fault?

"They said you were dangerous." The Doctor said, also kind of confused but he wanted to know who she was before he questions that bit.

"Not the cage, stupid. In here. They put me in here. I'm the. Oh, what do you call me? We travel. I go" She said before she made the sound the Tardis usually made

"The Tardis?" The Doctor said, in disbelief

"Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Yes, that's it. Names are funny. It's me. I'm the Tardis."

"No, you're not. You're a bitey, mad lady. The Tardis is up and downy stuff in a big blue box." The Doctor said as he walked away from Idris and kept his gaze away from her.

"Yes, that's me. A Type Forty Tardis. I was already a museum piece when you were young, and the first time you touched my console you said"

"I said you were the most beautiful thing I had ever known. But that was before." The Doctor stopped and glanced at Alyssa who was still staring at Idris in confusion.

"And then you stole me. And I stole you."

"I borrowed you."

"Borrowing means you plan to bring it back dear." Alyssa said, and the Tardis agreed with her because

"Borrowing implies the intention to return the thing that was taken. What makes you think I would ever give you back?" Idris said,

"You're the Tardis?"

"Yep!" Alyssa said as Idris said "Yes."

"My Tardis?"

"My Doctor and His golden angel well OUR golden Angel." Idris said looking at Alyssa before coming to a realization "Oh. We have now reached the point in the conversation where you open the lock." she said backing away from the door and the Doctor instantly took out his sonic and opened the door. Idris walked forward towards the doctor and they stared at each other before Idris finally said: "Are all people like this?"

"Like what?" The Doctor asked,

"So much bigger on the inside. I'm, oh, what is that word? It's so big, so complicated. It's so sad. Come on help me out, Golden Angel."

"It is a beautiful word but I think I am going to let you figure it out yourself," Alyssa said, smiling at her, knowing instantly what the word was that she was looking for.

"But why? Why pull the living soul from a Tardis and pop it in a tiny human head? What does it want you for?"

"What makes you think it wants her?" Alyssa asked as Idris walked over and sniffed the Doctor and began circling him.

"She's right, it doesn't want me," she said,

"How do you know?"

"House eats Tardises." Idris and Alyssa said together,

"House what? What do you mean?" The Doctor said, not exactly getting it,

"I don't know. It's something I heard you say."

"When?" The Doctor asked,

"Obviously in the future doc," Alyssa said, and Idris nodded in agreement

"House eats Tardises?"

"There you go. What are fish fingers?" Idris said, directing the question at Alyssa,

"When do I say that?"

"Doc please it's you we are talking about," Alyssa said, as Idris stopped circling the Doctor

"Any second," Idris said,

"Of course. House feeds on rift energy and Tardises are bursting with it. And not raw, all lovely and cooked. Processed food. Mmm, fish fingers."

"And there we go, he is hilarious don't you agree?" Alyssa asked as she moved to stand by Idris.

" yes he is." Idris agreed, before looking at her and opened her mouth to say something but she closed it and said "I don't think this is the best time." before turning back to the Doctor, leaving Alyssa more confused than ever. "Do fish have fingers?" Idris asked, acting like what just happened never happened.

"But you can't eat a Tardis. it would destroy you. Unless, unless"

"Unless you deleted the Tardis Matrix first."

"So it deleted you." The Doctor said,

"But House can't just delete a Tardis' consciousness. That would blow a hole in the universe. So he pulls out the Matrix, sticks it in a living receptacle and then it feeds off the remaining Artron energy. Oh. You were about to say all that. I don't suppose you have to now." Idris said, smiling a bit at the Doctor.

"I sent Amy and Rory in there. They'll be eaten." The Doctor said, growing with panic as he brought out Amy's phone "Amy! Amy? Rory? Get the hell out of there." As he ran out of the room towards the Tardis. Alyssa chasing after him. They reached the Tardis in no time as they were running, however, they couldn't get the door open as the Doctor yelled for the two to get out of the Tardis, but they couldn't and soon the Tardis dematerialized. " Amy? Amy, can you hear me?" He said into the phone but he got no reply from Amy, "Okay, right. I don't, I really don't know what to do. That's a new feeling." before he slapped himself and turned to Alyssa who was giving him a look that clearly meant 'Seriously?'

"Seriously doctor not knowing what to do is a new feeling?" Alyssa said as she grabbed his arm and pulled him with her. "Come on!" she said as she pulled the Doctor with her back to where Idris was waiting. "The Tardis is gone," Alyssa said as soon as they reached Idris again.

"Eaten?" Idris asked,

"No I think it was Hijacked by House," Alyssa said.

"But why? " The doctor asked, as he paced back and forward

"Why do you think Doctor? You told him that we were the last of the time lords he wants to find more Tardis's his usual way doesn't work anymore." Alyssa said, looking around before her eyes snapped to Uncle and Auntie. They began to walk out of the room

"It's time for us both to go, and keep together." Auntie said, The Doctor walked towards the two in confusion,

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Go? What do you mean, go? Where are you going?" He asked,

"House is gone, the thing that repaired them is gone, they are dying," Alyssa said, not giving her words a second thought. Not caring that the two people in front of her were about to die. Which Doctor took note of because he knew that this wasn't her.

"She's right, we're dying, my love. It's time for Auntie and Uncle to pop off." Auntie said,

"I'm against it," Uncle added,

"It's your fault, isn't it, sweets? Because you told House it was the last Tardis. House can't feed on them if there's none more coming, can he?" Auntie said to the Doctor,

"So now he's off to your universe to find more Tardises."

"Honestly? How thick is House? Someone tells him it's the last Tardis what does he go and do? Hijacks the last Tardis to go find more Tardises when there is none. It won't find any."

"Oh, it'll think of something," Auntie said, before collapsing onto the ground. Which made the Doctor race forward and check on her,

"Actually, I feel fine." Uncle said before he dropped himself.

"Not dead. You can't just die!" The Doctor said, in utter shock that they just died, Alyssa walked over to Idris

"they were past their due date Doctor." Alyssa said, the Doctor turned around to look at her to see whether or not she was joking or not but she wasn't it was clear on her face.

"We need to go to where I landed, Doctor, quickly," Idris said, making the Doctor turned his attention to her

"Why?" He asked,

"Because we are there in three minutes. We need to go now." She said standing up and racing forward only to stop in pain and put her hand on her hip, She turned back to Alyssa and the Doctor and continued "Roughly how long do these bodies last?" Which made the Doctor take out his Sonic Screwdriver and scan her.

"You're dying."

"Yes, of course, I'm dying." Idris said, snatching the screwdriver from the Doctor, "I don't belong in a flesh body. I could blow the casing in no time. No, stop it. Don't get emotional. Hmm. That's what the orangey girl says. You're the Doctor. Focus." Idris said holding out the Sonic Screwdriver for the Doctor to take.

"On what? How? I'm a madman with a box, without a box." The Doctor said taking the Screwdriver from her

"Doctor focus you need to think what are we in?" Alyssa asked, interrupting the doctor

"An old Junkyard."

"Yes but this isn't just any old Junkyard is it Doc?" She said, and it was like a light flicked on over the Doctor's head,

"Ooo" He said, and Alyssa smiled at him, which the Doctor smiled in return.

"Now you're getting it," she said, before turning her attention to Idris who was smiling softly had the whole exchange before she realized she didn't really know what they were talking about

"Ooo what? Getting what?"

"We aren't in a normal Junkyard," Alyssa said, trying to explain what she was getting at.

"How is it not a normal Junkyard?" Idris asked,

"Because my lovely Tardis. It's a Tardis junkyard." Alyssa said, smiling as the realization hit Idris's face

"Come on!" The Doctor said, trying to race out before he stopped and turned around and said "Oh, sorry. Do you have a name?" Addressing Idris.

"Seven hundred years, finally he asks." Idris just said,

"But what do I call you?" The Doctor said, really wanting something to call the Tardis.

"I think you call me Sexy." Idris said, making the Doctor look around, Alyssa was giggling off to the side as she walked over to the hallway that led outside "Only when we're alone." the Doctor said quietly to Idris.

"We are alone unless you are worried?" she said only to be interrupted by the Doctor putting his hand over her mouth, he looked at Alyssa quickly and noticed she was still laughing. He turned back to Idris and took his hand away

"Oh. Come on then, Sexy." He said, grabbing her hand and ran out of the room Alyssa following close behind, smiling at the two.

The soon made there way to the Tardis Junkyard which the Doctor instantly scanned the area, with his screwdriver before Alyssa and the Doctor stood by him. Looking at all the old tardis's

"A valley of half-eaten Tardises. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" The Doctor asked,

"Of course I am thinking what you are thinking Doctor," Alyssa said, and the two turned to Idris,

"I'm thinking that all of my sisters are dead. That they were devoured, and that we are looking at their corpses." Idris said, which made Alyssa take her hand and give it a slight squeeze trying to give her a slight bit of comfort.

"Ah. Sorry. No, I wasn't thinking that." The Doctor said,

"No. You were thinking you could build a working Tardis console out of broken remnants of a hundred different models. And you don't care that it's impossible."

"It's not impossible as long as we're alive. Rory and Amy need me. So yeah, we're going to build a Tardis."

"Us Doctor, Amy and Rory need us!" Alyssa said, still staring at all the Tardis's only to glance away from the Tardis Junkyard when the Doctor ran off to start building a Tardis console. Which she quickly followed to help.

Alyssa and Idris began picking up random scraps in order to help the Doctor built the console. She picked up something and handed it to Idris who began to examine it. As she gave instructions to the Doctor. " Bond the tube directly into the Tachyon Diverter."

"Yes, yes, I have actually rebuilt a Tardis before, you know. I know what I'm doing." The Doctor said as he pulled a big sheet of metal to where console they were building was

"Oh, you actually know what you are doing Doctor? That's a first." Alyssa said as she went to pick up some more scrap metal.

"You're like a nine-year-old trying to rebuild a motorbike in his bedroom. And you never read the instructions." Idris said,

"I always read the instructions."

"you threw the Tardis manual into a Supernova because you disagreed with it Doctor Dear if anything proves you don't read the instructions that is it," Alyssa said,

"There's a sign on my front door. You have been walking past it for seven hundred years. What does it say?" Idris asked, going on with what Alyssa said,

"That's not instructions." the Doctor

"There's an instruction at the bottom. What does it say?"

"Pull to open!" Alyssa and the Doctor said, together

"Yes. And what do you do?" Idris asked looking at the Doctor,

"I push."

"Every single time. Seven hundred years. Police Box doors open out the way." Idris said,

"I think I have earned the right to open my front doors any way I want." The Doctor said as he threw down the chain that was helping him drag the big sheet of metal, before walking over to the two

"That is so childish Doctor." Alyssa said,

"Your front doors? Have you any idea how childish that sounds?" Idris said, agreeing with her

"You are not my mother." The Doctor said, he was used to Alysssa teasing him but his Tardis? No, he wasn't used to that. He turned around and walked back to the metal sheet

"And you are not my child." Idris said, in response, which made the Doctor once again turn around

"You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you have never been very reliable."

"And you are the one who pilots the Tardis so that it's a year late or a couple of years late. You aren't very reliable sometimes as well Doctor." Alyssa said as she picked up another piece of scape medal.

"And you have?" Idris asked,

"You didn't always take me where I wanted to go."

"No, but I always took you where you needed to go," Idris said,

"You did." The Doctor said before he turned around and ran back to the two "Look at us talking. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could always talk, even when you're stuck inside the box?"

"You know I'm not constructed that way. I exist across all space and time, and you talk and run around and bring home strays." Idris said before her knees buckled and The Doctor caught her.

"You okay?" he asked,

"One of the kidneys has already failed. It doesn't matter. We need to finish assembling the console." she said,

"Using a console without a proper shell. It's not going to be safe." The Doctor said

"Since when have you ever did things the safe route?" Alyssa asked,

"This body has about eighteen minutes left to live. The universe we're in will reach Absolute Zero in three hours. Safe is relative." Idris added as the Doctor raced back over to the chain that helped him move the big sheet of metal,

"Then we need to get a move on. Eh, old girl?" The Doctor said,

They started constructing the Console again as the Doctor went off and brought necessary components while Idris told Alyssa what she needed to do to help. Soon the Doctor came back with a time rotor and Idris said, "You'll need to install the time rotor." which the Doctor did with a little help from Alyssa.

"How is this going to make it through the rift? How? We're almost done. Thrust diffuser? Er, retroscope. Blue thingy." The Doctor asked as he made sure everything was right so far.

"Do you ever wonder why I chose you all those years ago?" Idris asked as she examined a coat hanger.

"I chose you. You were unlocked."

"But why would a tardis be unlocked? Wouldn't the time lords leave it locked, so for the door to be unlocked the Tardis itself would have to choose to unlock itself."

"Of course I did," Idris said, as she turned around and walked forward, "I wanted to see the universe, so I stole a Time Lord and I ran away. And you were the only one mad enough." she said as Alyssa and the Doctor joined her.

"Right. Perfect. Look at that. What could possibly go wrong?"

"Lots of things." Alyssa said, as a piece fell off the Tardis, she looked at the Doctor

"That's fine. That always happens. No, hang on. Wait." The Doctor said, as he turned around and grabbed something that was red that looked like a rope with some hooks on the end. As Alyssa and Idris walked toward the now almost fully constructed console. The Doctor joined them and gave part of the red rope to Idris and attached it. "Right. Okay, let's go. Follow that Tardis." The Doctor said as he tried to pilot the Tardis but nothing happened. "Oh no, come on. There's rift energy everywhere. You can do it. Okay, diverting all power to thrust. Let's be having you." The Doctor said as he messed with the consoles a bit, but sparks flew from the console. Alyssa stepped back as some of the sparks flew towards her, her hand flew up instinctively and she put her hand on the grating of the time rotor to catch her balance. "No, no, no, no." The Doctor said as he realized what was wrong and why the Tardis wouldn't move.

"What's wrong?" Idris asked,

"It can't hold the charge. It can't even start. There's no power." The Doctor said, and he realized that Idris was only half paying attention to her she was playing her with her face looking at her reflection. He instantly put his hand over the mirror and with a disappointed look said: "I've got nothing."

"Oh, my beautiful idiot. You have what you've always had. You've got me." Idris said as she kissed her finger and her eyes glowed gold as she took some golden energy and put it into the machine. Alyssa was the only one who noticed that her hand that was on the grating glew gold itself for a second as if she was also putting something into the half-constructed Tardis. Suddenly they took off towards their blue box.

"Whoo-hoo!" The Doctor yelled as he messed with the controls.

"We've locked on to them. They'll have to lower the shields when I'm close enough to phase inside." Idris said as she and Alyssa clung to the wall.

"Can you get a message to Amy? The telepathic circuits are online."

"Which one's Amy? The pretty one?" Idris asked, before doing what she asked, "Hello Pretty" she said, as she talked to Rory, not Amy.

"Don't worry. Telepathic messaging. No, that's Rory." The Doctor said and was thrown out of the message.

"You have to go to the old control room. I'm putting the route in your head. When you get there use the purple slider on the nearest panel to lower the shields." Idris said, giving Rory instructions so they could land where they were.

"The pretty one?" The Doctor said, once more getting into the message only to leave again.

"You'll have about twelve seconds before the room goes into phase with the invading Matrix. I'll send you the passkey when you get there. Good luck." Idris said as she ended the message and they continued flying.

"How's he going to be able to take down the shields anyway? The House is in the control room." The Doctor said,

"I directed him to one of the old control rooms."

"There aren't any old control rooms. They were all deleted or remodeled." The Doctor said,

"I archive them, for neatness. I've got about thirty now."

"But I've only changed the desktop, what, a dozen times?"

"So far, yes."

"You can't archive something that hasn't happened yet."

"You can't!" Alyssa and Idris said together as they flew towards where Amy and Rory were. Alyssa watched as the two worked on the Tardis console. She never felt more useless than at that moment.

"Keep going. You're doing it, you sexy thing." The Doctor said,

"See, you do call me that. Is it my name?" Idris said,

"You bet it's your name." the Doctor said, and Idris let out a whoop of excitement. Before she said some words sending the passkey to Rory. Soon the shields for the other Tardis were down. As they made their way into the other Tardis. Alyssa's hand went up to the grating to the time rotor as the console shook about more.

"It's not going to hold." Idris yelled, before Alyssa's hand glew gold once more letting out some tendrils that flew into the rotor that made it so they landed safely in the Tardis. Alyssa hesitantly pulled her hand away as she looked at it confused and then around and saw that they were in

"Doctor." Amy said, in relief as the Doctor and Alyssa made their way over to her and Rory. She took the Doctor into a hug and Alyssa looked back at Idris

"Not good. Not good at all. How do you walk around in these things?" She said, Alyssa walked back over and helped her move off of the other Tardis console and into the other. The Doctor also came over and said "We're not quite there yet. Just hold on. Amy, this is, well, she's my Tardis. Except she's a woman. She's a woman, and she's my Tardis."

"She's the Tardis?"

"And she's a woman. She's a woman and she's the Tardis."

"Did you wish really hard?"

"No he didn't, the House drained her out of the Tardis that's why the Matrix was gone," Alyssa said, making Amy and Rory nod a bit,

"Hello. I'm Sexy." Idris said, making Amy's eyes snapped up to the Doctor

"Oh shut up." The Doctor said,

"The environment has been breached. Nephew, kill them all." House said, from all around them, but Nephew was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh right, I forgot that little bit," Alyssa said as she looked back at the Tardis they used to get there.

"Where's Nephew?" Rory asked

"He was standing right where you materialized," Amy said,

"Ah. Well, he must have been redistributed." the Doctor said,

"Meaning what?" Rory asked,

"We are breathing him," Alyssa said, as she looked around seeing the Tardis glow green.

"Oh, come on," Amy said in disgust

"Another Ood I failed to save." the Doctor said, and Alyssa walked over to him and took his hand as House spoke once more

"Doctor. I did not expect you." House said,

"Well, that's me all over, isn't it? Lovely old unexpected me."

"The big question is, now you're here, how to dispose of you? I could play with gravity." House said and suddenly they were all pushed to the floor, Alyssa let out a cry in pain as she felt her body get pressed against the grating of the tardis before it suddenly stopped,

"Or I could evacuate the air from this room and watch you choke." House said, suddenly all the Air was gone and all five of them could no longer breathe.

"You really don't want to do that." The Doctor managed to get out which stopped the sensation.

"Why shouldn't I just kill you now?" House said as Amy, Alyssa, and the Doctor managed to get up.

"Because then I won't be able to help you. Listen to your engines. Just listen to them. You don't have the thrust and you know it. Right now I'm your only hope for getting out of your little bubble through the rift, and into my universe. And mine's the one with the food in. You just have to promise not to kill us. That's all, just promise." The doctor said,

"You can't be serious," Amy asked, looking at the Doctor with a disbelieving.

"Oh here's serious alright, The doctor is always serious," Alyssa said, as she looked at Rory and noticed that Idris was whispering something into Rory's ears.

"Alyssa's right, I'm very serious. I'm sure it's an entity of its word."

"Doctor, she's burning up. She's asking for water." Rory called over, and the three made there way over to the two. Alyssa leaned down and took on of her hands as the Doctor touched Idris's cheek

"Hey. Hang in there, old girl. Not long now. It'll be over soon." The Doctor said,

"I always liked it when you call me old girl," Idris said,

"You want me to give my word? Easy. I promise." House finally said,

"Fine. Okay. I trust you. Just delete, oh er, thirty percent of the Tardis rooms, you'll free up thrust enough to make it through. Activate subroutine Sigma nine."

"Why would you tell me this?"

"Because we want to get back to our universe as badly as you do. And I'm nice." The Doctor said, as he stood up and walked forward a bit

"Yes. I can delete rooms. And I can also rid myself of vermin if I delete this room first. Thank you, Doctor. Very helpful. Goodbye, Time Lords. Goodbye, little humans. Goodbye, Idris." House said, and a bright light flashed through the room and soon they were teleported to the main console room.

"Yes. I mean, you could do that, but it just won't work. Hardwired fail-safe. Living things from rooms that are deleted are automatically deposited in the main control room. But thanks for the lift." The Doctor said,

"We are in your universe now, Doctor. Why should it matter to me in which room you die? I can kill you just as easily here as anywhere. Fear me. I've killed hundreds of Time Lords." House said,

"Fear me. I've killed all of them." The Doctor said, "Yeah, you're right. You've completely won. Oh, you can kill us in oodles of really inventive ways, but before you do kill us allow me and friends Amy and Rory to congratulate you on being an absolutely worthy opponent." he said pulling up Amy and Alyssa walked over to the two and started clapping with them.

"Congratulations," Amy called out,

"Yep, you've defeated us. Me and my lovely friends here, and last but definitely not least, the Tardis Matrix herself, a living consciousness you ripped out of this very control room and locked up into a human body. And look at her." Alyssa's eyes snapped to Idris as her eyes were now closed

" Doctor, she's stopped breathing." Rory said,

"Enough. That is enough." House said,

"No. It's never enough. You forced the Tardis into a body so she'd burn out safely a very long way away from this control room. A flesh body can't hold the Tardis Matrix and live. Look at her body, House." The Doctor said,

"And you think I should mourn her?" House said,

"No. We think you should be careful about what you let back into this control room." Alyssa said walking over to where the doctor was and continued, " You took her from her home. But now she's back in the box again, and she's free." She looked back at Idris and watched as golden streams of energy came out of Idris as the Tardis's matrix flew back around the room reinhabiting the Tardis her home,

"No. Doctor, stop this. Argh! Stop this now." House said

"Oh, look at my girl. Look at her go. Bigger on the inside. You see, House?" the Doctor called out as he watched the golden energy flew around. House started begging from the Doctor but he wasn't listening "That's your problem. Size of a planet, but inside you are just so small." the Doctor said,

"Make it stop," House yelled

"Finish him off, girl." The Doctor said as he put his hands on the Console. Alyssa walked over and took his hand in hers as they listened to the House be killed by the Tardis.

"Doctor, are you there? It's so very dark in here." the Voice of Idris said from behind them. The two turned around and Alyssa smiled softly as the Doctor walked over to her.

"I'm here." The Doctor said,

"I've been looking for a word. A big, complicated word, but so sad. I've found it now."

"What word?" The Doctor said,

"Alive. I'm alive." Idris said as Alyssa walked over to the doctor

"Alive isn't sad." the Doctor said,

"It's sad when it's over. I'll always be here, but this is when we talked, and now even that has come to an end. There's something I didn't get to say to you."

"Goodbye?" The Doctor said sadly,

"No. I just wanted to say hello. Hello, Doctor. It's so very, very nice to meet you."

"Please. I don't want you to. Please." The Doctor begged before Idris glew brighter and the familiar sound of the Tardis sounded and Alyssa looked at the Doctor and took him into a hug, as he cried into her shoulder. No words were spoken there didn't have to be, as for the first time since she came back from her universe. It was Alyssa who comforted the Doctor.

Soon Alyssa made her way to the library she sat down as she finally got time to read 'death from the clouds'

"Alyssa," a soft voice said, Alyssa looked up from her book and saw the familiar hologram of Idris. She let out a small gasp as she stood up and walked over and Idris started again "I saved enough of my strength to give you this message, but I must ask you do not interrupt."

"I won't," Alyssa said softly, as she gestured for Idris to continue

"When the doctor first saved you from the hands of the Time Lords, he only thought he sent you to another universe. I stored you here in the Tardis in another pocket dimension to keep you safe. The Time Vortex that the Timelords put in you builds up over time, when you were in me I could safely remove it to keep you safe and alive. But if it were to ever build up with no outflow it will burn you, that's why you jump it's a fail-safe in order to expel some of the Time vortex inside you. Eventually, you will learn how to expel little bits of it, you have powers over time Alyssa and soon you will learn what exactly those powers are. If you are wondering why you had the show about the Doctor, I wanted to keep the Doctor in your mind since he was the one to save you from the time lords, so I recorded every adventure the Doctor goes on but I took you out of them. The show is the fake reality, this is real don't ever forget that my Golden angel." Idris said, she stopped for a second and said "I can't say anymore, but Alyssa if you were to ever stop jumping without a way to safely expel the Time Vortex, you will die." before she faded away. Alyssa didn't realize that she was crying until she felt a tear slip off her cheek and hit her hand. The Tardis had protected her this whole time and she never even knew.

"Why are you crying?" a voice said, she jumped in shock and turned to face the Doctor, who was staring at her concerned. She brought her hand up and wiped away her tears,

"I just thought about the other universe." She said lying easily, "I was reading, did you want something?"

"Yes, I remembered what I did with your memory. I didn't wipe them like I thought I did. I hid them deep in your subconscious where only I could find." He walked over to her and continued "I can unlock them, but you won't remember all at once they will come back gradually but are you sure about this?" Alyssa's eyes snapped to his and nodded, the Doctor let out a sigh and said: "put everything from the show behind a door." He said, and Alyssa nodded as the Doctor put his hands to her head and searched through her subconscious soon finding the locked door of her memories. He unlocked and took himself out of Alyssa's head she blinked for a second before her knees buckled and the doctor quickly caught her. as she remembered the exact moment she looked into the untempered schism, and much more for her childhood, but only until that moment. She looked at the Doctor who had a look of concern on his face,

"Thank you." She said,

"What did you remember?"

"Some of my childhood, Doc, up into I looked into untempered schism." She said looking at him "I guess that's where it all started with my connection with the Time Vortex, I was one of the ones who were inspired, but more inspired than the rest." She said as a headache started she let out a sigh as she once again reached up and kissed the Doctor's cheek before disappearing into a flash of golden light.

Author's Note: HELLO! its been so long since I updated this story. I lost my inspiration to write this story but recently I have gotten it back. This episode ends the first part of my book, the next part starts with the next episode. I will try to get it out in the next couple days. Alyssa is slowly going to get her memory of Gallifrey back, so expect to see a couple flashbacks in the upcoming chapters.
