A Time Lord's Journey

Chapter 3- The First Trip

"Hold on tight!" The Doctor called as the machine hauled you both around and whipped you into many objects.

"Shazam! London 1815! Well, go on then! Go check it out!" The childish man grinned at you, practically pushing you towards the doors. With a smile on your face, you turn to him and grab him by the hand, pulling him along with you.

As soon as you flung the doors open, you gaped at the scenery around you. You couldn't believe it! You was actually standing in London! In 1815!

"Hang on, hang on, hang on!" The Doctor exclaimed as he yanked you back inside. You span on your heels to face him, your smile dropping as the man pulled you away from the smell of adventure; you gave him a weird look "What?" You hissed, meeting his gaze. "You can't go out looking like that!" He exclaimed, giving you a look to say you should've already realised this, looking you up and down. You couldn't help but to blush a little, as this strange, good-looking man's eyes scanned you from head to toe. You shook your head, trying to get that thought out of your head.

"Go get changed" He ordered "But, I can't, I don't have any extra clothes with me" You told him  "Go down the corridor, turn left, turn right, up the stairs, turn the corridor and turn right, first door. Go! Quickly!" He commanded as you stood there, trying to process the information he just gave you in lightening speed, whilst waving his hands about.

You started walking in the direction he instructed. "Where the heck can stairs be in this thing?! Turn left, no, turn right- No, turn- Oh I don't know!" You said to yourself as you realise you had clearly gotten lost; then suddenly, the right hand side had disappeared, leaving the only direction, coated with a red line on the floor, left. You followed the coloured path until you found the closet. Strange, "How the-?" You paused questioningly, trying to figure out a logical explanation for what just happened, but could not think of a possible reason. You marched up to the women's clothes rack. You realise he had an outfit perfect for every occasion and for every time period! You gazed at the women's clothing, realising that they shouldn't be there because he is an only male... you giggled as a thought came into you mind "I see he really HAS been around a lot" You mocked as you pulled out a Victorian corset dress.

It was a midnight purple colour with a midnight black see through shawl. The dress had tints of black in it, which shaded the purple in the light, eliminating a shine. It was puffy at the bottom, but wasn't too over powering, it was strapless. The shawl had a few black sequins sewn onto it.

You walked over to the full length mirror and draped the dress over you. You set it on the ground and went to pick out some shoes. Scanning the shoes, you came across the perfect pair of black, laced boots. You then found your way to the accessories and picked up a deep purple rose clip. You hopped over to the vanity unit to style your hair; you decided to put it up in an elegant, Victorian style, with plaits loosely linked with each other, held together by the rose grip, with your (H/C) side fringe hanging down.

You then grabbed a pinkish lipstick and tainted your own with the colour before adding a dusty purple and black eye shadow on your eyelids, blending it in slightly to create a subtle effect. You added mascara before getting into the dress, shoes and wrapping the shawl around you, taking one last look in the mirror. You smiled and nodded before wandering back to the Doctor.

He was busy fussing with his hair when you found him, and he was wearing a black and grey waistcoat thing. "Ahem!" You clear your throat, "Took you long enough, did you find your way oka-" He cut himself off as his head instantly snapped up to reach yours. He quickly stood up, mouth agape. "Yeah, I slightly got lost though, but then suddenly a red marking appeared on the floor and the whole right side sorta disappeared for a while. Doctor...?" You trailed off, noticing that he was suddenly staring at you for what seemed like ages. He shook his head and blinked, mouth still agape and eyes slightly wide.

"Doctor, are you ok? Is this outfit not right or something" He shook his head again "No, no, no, you look... lovely, very.. beautiful, and that would of been the TARDIS helping you out" He said as he swallowed in between sentences. You blush as you smile slightly "That's.. nice of it, and really?" You ask looking down at the dress and giving a light twirl "Considering you're an alien" He added before putting a top hat on and walking past you. You sighed "You're the alien to me" You mutter "True... Well! Off we go then!" The Doctor replied as he extended his arm, beckoning that you link yours with his; you did so and together, you exited the TARDIS. As the Doctor closed the doors, You whispered a quiet 'Thank you' to the ship.

"So" The Doctor paused turning towards you "Where do you want to go?" He finished off. You thought for a moment. "Hmmm, y'know what? I picked the place, you pick where we go" You smiled at him, "You sure? You can go anywhere..." He trailed off, you nodded "I'm sure, to be honest, I really don't mind where we go" He grinned at you and led you along with him.

You went sight seeing, saw the queens home, the many theatres, water fountains, gardens, parks, and of course, the shops, full of vintage decorations, furniture and clothing; oh, how you loved vintage!

As you was walking, something caught your eye in a window of a shop. You must have been staring at it for at least 5 minutes, trying to decipher what it was, you had noted it down to be an instrument of some sort. When you looked back to where the Doctor was standing, he wasn't there anymore. "He must have wandered off, leaving me on my own! Asshole!" You said to yourself.

Your eyes nervously (and anxiously) scanned the not-so-crowded streets, to find this raggedy man. "Doctor?" You called. No answer. You let your eyes wander some more "Doctor!" You shouted "Ohhh....I'm gonna kill him!" You said to thin air as you jogged to the end of the road "Doctor!" You called again. You must have called him at least 3 times, and still got no answer, that's when you heard a clinking sound behind you. You swiftly turned yourself in the direction of the noise, only to find yourself looking at a handsome young man.

"Forgive me, madam, I did not mean to scare thee. I noticed thy was looking in my shop window"  You blinked a few times quickly "Uhhh... yeah, I was j-just...um.... admiring the  object in the window" You stuttered, still recovering from the little shock you just had. The man chuckled "It's alright miss, I'm not going to cause you any harm. Would you like to look inside?" He asked. you just nod "My name is Alfred, Alfred Goddard, by the way, and you are?" "Um _____(F/N) ______(F/N) _________(L/N)" You replied. "Such a pretty name, for such a beautiful damsel" Alfred smiled, and you couldn't help but blush a little; no one's ever said that to you before.

Alfred led you to the back of the store and everything went black.
