Chapter 4 - I Want To Go Home

Chapter 4 – I Want To Go Home.

Madison's P.O.V.

“U.N.I.T.? But isn't that who Martha worked for?” The Doctor muttered.

“You knew Martha?” I asked,snapping my gaze to his.

“Yeah. She traveled with the other version of me! Did you know her too?” He asked.

“Yeah, I did. We were really good friends. Umm, something happened. To Martha, that is.” I whispered, looking away.

“What happened? What happened to Martha?”

“She lost everything. She helped an alien, which is against U.N.I.T. rules. They wiped her memory. She forgot everything.” I explained, as my eyes welled up with tears.

“Oh. Martha's gone? Who did she help? Did you know?”

“Yeah. I knew. I was there when she helped them.”

“Who did she help then?” He asked again.

“Me.”

“You? I thought you said you were friends?” He said, sounding more serious.

“We were. I promise.” I tried.

“If you were friends, why did you basically get her killed?” He growled, becoming angry.

“I didn't mean too! I'm sorry. I'm was trying to get her back to normal! But I died and now I'm here! That's why I want to get back! You have to help me!” I begged, as tears began to spill over.

“Why should I help you? You clearly just killed my friend and you want me to help you? Ha! You're sick.” He spat, looking at me in disgust.

“Please. I'm sorry! I'll do anything. But you have to help me! I need to get back to The Doctor and Martha and Amy and Rory! I need to help Martha! Please! I'll do anything!” I cried, as I gripped hold of his wrist.

“Get off me! You don't deserve my help!” The Doctor barked, trying to pry his wrist free from me.

“PLEASE! Please, I need to get back! PLEASE!” I yelled, holding his wrist tighter.

I was desperate.

I had never been like this before. I really needed and wanted to get back to Earth. Proper Earth, with the proper Doctor.

My Doctor. God, I needed him right now. But, no. I'm stuck with this other version of The Doctor! Who clearly already hated me.

But he was my only hope. I needed him to help me. I clung to him harder, as I felt something at his wrist. I felt buttons on it and accidentally pressed them.

“NO! MADISON! NO!” He shouted, as a white light over took us.

“What.....AHHHHHH!” I screamed, as pain made me collapse to my knees.

“Madison? Hold on to me!” The Doctor yelled, pulling my hand into his.

“What's happening?”

“Just hold tight!”

The white light took over our surrounding, as the pain whizzing through my body began to stop. I took the chance to stand up, as pushed myself against The Doctor's chest. He gave a me a worried look, which I returned. Suddenly the light disappeared, as our new destination was revealed around us.

London.

“Bloody hell. What on Earth was that thing?” I asked, breathlessly.

“Vortex manipulator. It's only built for one person, so that's why you experienced pain.” He explained, coldly.

“Oh. I'm sorry. I panicked, I didn't know what to do! I'm so sorry about what happened to Martha! I was an accident. I promise I'm trying to help her! I just need to get back home! I'm.....” I cried, before I was cut off.

The Doctor quickly wrapped his arms around me and pulled my into a hug. I rested my head on his shoulder, as I cried into it.

“Shhhh. Come on, Madison. I'm the one who's sorry! I shouldn't have shouted at you! Martha wasn't your fault. I was just angry. I haven't seen her in ages and the thought of her getting hurt was.....I'm sorry.” He apologized, rubbing my back.

“Don't say sorry to me. I deserved everything you said.” I sniffed, pulling away from him.

“No you didn't. You were just scared, Madison. I was too. It's not your fault!” He smiled, as he sat down on a near by bench.

“Doctor, you of all people should know that when you say 'It's not your fault', it never works!” I sighed, slumping down next to him.

“Yeah. Sorry. Forgot you were a Time Lord. I'm not the last one!”

“The other version of you said that. He was so happy he wasn't alone! God, I miss him.” I said, as another tear fell down my cheek.

“Hey, it's okay!” The Doctor soothed, rubbing my back.

“It's not! I want to go home!” I cried, as my eyes became waterfalls once more.

“I know, Madison. I know! It's going to be okay! We'll find a way of getting you back home.”

“You'll help me?” I asked, slightly disbelieving.

“Sure! I'll help you get home, Madison. I promise.”

“Thank you. It's Maddy, by the way.”

“Pardon?” He asked.

“My names Madison, but I prefer Maddy.” I explained, giving him a small smile.

“Oh right. So you going to explain? About what happened.” He suggested, draping an arm over my shoulder.

“Fine. What do you want to know?” I sighed.

“The other me. What happened between you two. How you died. How you got here! You know, the simple things!” He smirked, causing me to roll my eyes.

“Simple things? Doctor, I'm a Time Lord. Nothing is simple.”

“Good point. Anyway, carry on!”

“I met him in Paris. He saved me in a way. I was locked up by Cybermen under the Effiel Tower. Him, Amy and Rory freed me. I tried to keep away from him, acting like I didn't need help! We found a teleport on the top floor and realized the Cybermen were at forces again.” I started to explain, as a smile crept on my face at the memory.

“I hate Cybermen.” The Doctor stated suddenly.

“I hate them too. But they're no match for me. Killed them all in 4 and a half minutes. With no help from The Doctor of course.” I sighed.

“Where was he?”

“Passed out on the floor with Amy and Rory. Our relationship involved a lot of passing out, thinking about it!”

“Why?”

“We'll get to that! I left him at the Effiel tower. Didn't see him again until we faced the Daleks. They trapped us in a cell but I escaped and saved the day again!” I laughed, only to be met by his serious face.

“I hate Daleks.” He spat.

“Same.”

“No. I really hate them. They ruin everything.” He replied, coldly.

“I know. You alright?” I asked, concerned by him.

“Fine. Carry on.”

“Okay...... Anyway. We went against the Weeping Angels. Before we met again, I knew I loved him. I hated that I was falling in love. Especially with him. I didn't like the thought of being with somebody. Suppose of it was the idea of facing heart break one day.”

“I understand.”

“Good. Wait, not good....Ｉmean....ARGH! I'll just carry on.....” I stuttered.

“Yeah....”

“We had a fight when we met the Angels. Resulted in him finding out I loved him. Wasn't my fault, Martha told him by accident. Bless her. I passed out. Was quite embarrassed. I eventually woke up and Martha told me what happened. The Doctor offered me a trip in the TARDIS to say sorry for the fight, but I turned him down.”

“You turned down a trip in the TARDIS? You must be mad!” The Doctor scoffed.

“Or unique! Then Martha told me how U.N.I.T. knew I was an alien and would probably kill me if they got hold of me. So, I ran off with The Doctor. He showed me the TARDIS but I told him to take me back home, which he wasn't best pleased with.” I giggled.

“I bet! What happened?”

“I kissed him. I ran back into the TARDIS and kissed him. I liked it! He was a bit shocked, as I left again soon after. Then basically, U.N.I.T. took over my house, Martha's mind got erased and The Doctor found me again. And soon, Mental Maddy was born!” I exclaimed, shivering at the memory.

“Mental Maddy?”

“Yeah. Simple really. Got taken to some Sontarans, they mistook me for human and they attempted to kill me. But their stuff didn't work and it caused side effects.” I explained.

“What kind of side effects?”

“Hallucinations, slurred speech, making no sense and hugging Sontarans!”

“You hugged a Sontaran?” He asked, in astonishment.

“Oh yes! But then I knocked him out, stopped an alien army and then he killed me. I regenerated into this version and then I started traveling with The Doctor. For about 5 minutes.”

“What happened?”

“Went shopping on Earth, but I got kidnapped by U.N.I.T. I got locked up, beaten, starved, tested on and shot by them. Then The Doctor, Amy and Rory turned up and saved me. I thought I was going to be stuck there forever.” I admitted.

“The Doctor will always try and save people. Especially if he loves them.”

“He didn't love me then. Or that's what I thought. I used my regeneration energy to stop them and save everybody else. The Doctor, Amy and Rory got me back to the TARDIS where he finally told me. He said he loved me. I couldn't have been happier!”

“Always nice to hear you're loved.”

“We went on a date. A proper date on a beach. We 'attempted' to go swimming, made Sandcastles and told each other about our love for one another. It was all so perfect. We're were finally together, or so I thought.”I sighed, looking at the back of my nails only to see dots of blood.

“River?”

“River.”

“What did she do?” The Doctor asked.

“She just turned up. The Doctor didn't tell me he was married to River. So when she turned up, he hid our relationship from her. Except he didn't tell me he was going to. We had a massive row where he said he didn't love me and he never would.” I explained, as a tear fell from my eyes.

“What did you do?”

“I just snapped. I hate being lied too. Especially about love. So, I turned and punched him in the face. I hated doing it. I felt like an idiot doing it, as my whole body was telling me not too. But I just felt like an idiot for falling in love and not expecting heart-break. I still loved him and he hated me.” I sobbed, looking down at my feet as my tears became more constant.

“Oh, Maddy. I'm sorry. Did it work out?” He asked, wrapping an arm over my shoulders.

“Not at the start. We had another row and I soon left the TARDIS. I didn't see him again for 6 months. In that time I had managed to get back into Martha's life. We were becoming good friends again. Then I went to help some Ood. That's where I met him again.”

“Did you get on?”

“I didn't want to. I was set on keeping him out my life. I didn't want him hanging around or even saving my life! But he did. He rescued me, much to my hate. I tried to ignore him, I even ran off after telling him to keep away. When really I just wanted to hug him and tell him how much I loved and missed him.” I sobbed at the memory.

“Let me guess. He followed?”

“Of course. He ended up helping me in the end. Amy and Rory went to U.N.I.T. for help, as I asked them to. He was going to die if he stayed and helped me. But that didn't stop him. I had to save him, though. He didn't know I could. I shared my regeneration energy so we wouldn't have to change. Then he admitted he lied to River. It was me he loved.” I smiled.

“But not happily ever after though?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

“With River Song around? Never!” I exclaimed.

“River? She turn up again?”

“Oh yes. And she wasn't best pleased. She turned up when The Doctor said he loved me and not River. Anyway, long story short. The Doctor chose me over her, she had a gun, U.N.I.T. turned up and arrested her, she escaped and ended up shooting me!”

“Tough life.” The Doctor commented, running a hand through his hair.

“Yup! You get use to it. Well.... Not the shooting part. Had to say my goodbyes to The Doctor, Amy and Rory. Never thought I'd have to do that. The pain of leaving them behind was worse than the bullet. I miss The Doctor like crazy. I love him so much. I just want him back.” I cried.

“You will get him back, I promise.”

“I doubt it. He's probably off with River again. Without me. Little, forgotten me.”

“He will not forget you, Maddy. I promise you that! Please, don't cry. It'll all be okay!” The Doctor promised.

“Whatever. So, Doctor. That's my story. What's yours?” I sighed looking into his eyes.

“Well. My life started with a Rose.”

A.N. Bit Boring. Sorry! This and the next chapter are just recaps of their lives. Sorry in advance.
