Fixing The Problems

Some Witch Problems

"I can't allow that to happen." Anna shook her head.

"It's not up to you." She looked at the half-witch pointedly. "Do you know where James lives?" Celestia asked Elsie.

"Yes, sweetheart." Elsie said. "We can go there now if you want."

"Yeah, let's not waste any more second." She said as she got up from her chair. "And you, young lady." She turned to Anna: "You're not expelled from the academy but it's only temporary. They're looking for a reason to kick you out. Don't give them that." She warned her.

"I won't, I'm sorry." Anna said, looking sad. She finally realized the mistake she made. She cared so much about Celestia that she would never do something that would annoy her evet again.

"I know you are." She told her, not feeling angry anymore. "If you don't do something like this ever again, we'll be fine." She smiled warmly.

"I'll be careful." Anna said, honestly. With that Celestia and Elsie left the house to find James and send him back to the ground.

After successfully managing to send James where he belongef and erasing this memory of him returning from his family's and friends' minds, Celestia came to Anna's house to spend the night there. She thought she could use some alone time to think things through. She couldn't help but think about what Charley said. Did her friendship with The Doctor seem like a relationship for everyone? Did he think like that too? What should she do? Should she stop being this close to him or ignore Charley and act however she wants to? These questions kept her awake at this time of the day. Then she left her room to sit in the family's garden. She thought that taking a fresh air would help her think clearly. She really wished she didn't leave Stolas in The Tardis at the moment. He was a good friend and a listener. He would have given her advices.

"What are you doing?" Elsie asked her.

"Couldn't sleep." She shrugged it off.

"You timelords don't need sleep as much as we do, do you?" Elsie asked her as she sat beside her.

"No, we don't. It's better this way." She told her. "Why are you awake?"

"I was thinking about today."

"What about today?"

"About the things Anna has done to be exact. Is she going to be this reckless all the time?" Elsie asked, sounding tired.

"Oh come on." Celestia nudged her. "She's just going through a phase right now. All of this is quite normal for a teenager. She'll understand better when she grows up." She said.

"Do you think so?"

"I'm not just thinking. I know it." She told her, looking at her in a way that told she really means what she was saying.

"So, how long are you gonna stay here?" Elsie asked, changing the subject.

"Dear Rassilon, am I that boring?" She said, laughing.

"No no. I just wanted to know. You're always welcome in here you know. You can stay as long as you want." Elsie said, honestly.

"I know I'm joking." She laughed. "I think I'd better go though. Otherwise The Doctor is gonna get worried about me." She said and thinking for a second about the time when she took so long to get back to The Tardis and The Doctor alarmed everyone.

"Doctor?" Elsie asked. "I thought you weren't talking to him anymore." She frowned.

"I wasn't." Celestia began to explain. "Not very long ago he was in danger so I took my brother with me to help him. After that, he said we needed to talk about what happened between us and I agreed." She said. "Then he explained himself and I understood his motives and we went back to normal after that. Our friendship grew stronger than before."

"Oh, I'm so glad to hear that." Elsie said, laughing making the Time Lady laugh too. "You two are such good friends that it would be a shame to throw it away." That made Celestia stop laughing.

"What's wrong?" Elsie asked, realizing the change in her behaviour.

"It would be a shame to throw it away." She repeated. "I think you're right, Elsie."

"Did I say something offensive?" Elsie asked, sounding confused.

"No no." She immediately denied. "That sentence made me realize something."

"What?" Elsie was still confused.

"If you don't mind, I'd rather not to tell."

"Okay if you want."

"Thank you for understanding." She smiled at her warmly. "I'm gonna call The Doctor now. I hope he doesn't make me wait too long." She laughed.

"Considering how bad he's driving, I think it's possible." Elsie said as they laughed again.

"I'll be right back." She said as she went to her room to find her phone. She dialed The Doctor's number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello?" The Doctor answered the phone.

"Hello." She smiled brightly even if he couldn't see it.

"Miss me already?" He joked, making her laugh too.

"Oh yes." She joked but at the same time she really did miss him.

"Me too." He said, also serious. "Should I come now?"

"If it's no trouble."

"I'll be with you in five minutes." He said as he got up from his chair to set the coordinates.

"Let's hope so." She said, cheekily.

"Oi!" The Doctor aaid, making her laugh too.

"I'm gonna wait in the garden." She said.

"Okay, see you."

"Bye." She said as she hanged up the phone, collecting her stuff (just her bag). Then she went to the garden again.

"So he's coming?" Elsie asked, sitting in the same place as before.

"Oh yes." She said gleefully. "Thank you for giving me a place to stay."

"Thank you for fixing Anna's mistake." Elsie said as she got up to hug her. Then they hear the Tardis engines that made them let go of each other.

"He's a much better driver when he wants to see you." Elsie said.

"Oh shut up." Celestia rolled her eyes.

Once The Tardis fully came into the view, Celestia ran up to the doors just when The Doctor opened them.

"Hello." She said as she gave him a bone crushing hug.

"Oh, no. Was I late again?" The Doctor asked worriedly as he hugged her back.

"No." She said, content to see him again. "I just wanted to hug you."

"I'm fine with that." The Doctor laughed.

"Hello, Doctor. I see that you regenerated." Elsie said as the Time Lords let go of each other.

"Yeah, I did. What do you think?" He asked her opinion, pointing to himself.

"You look good." Elsie said. Celestia looked at them lovingly.

"Thank you." The Doctor said. "Did you two fix the problem?" He asked to the girls.

"Couldn't have done it without Celestia's help." Elsie said, making The Doctor beam at the Time Lady.

"No need to mention it." She smiled at Elsie. She really liked this woman. She felt like a sister to her when her real sisters couldn't. "Give me a call whenever you want, okay?" She asked her.

"Okay." Elsie said. "Take care you two." She pointed to the Time Lords. "Look after each other."

"Always." The Doctor said.

"Bye." Celestia said as she entered to The Tardis with The Doctor, getting ready to tell him all about her day and to ask how his day was.
