My craziest dream became true when I met the craziest man ever. The Doctor.
It's been a few months since I've met him and we've been travelling together ever since. Each adventure was incredible. I couldn't forget one moment I ever had with him.
And then I had this idea.
I never got the chance to meet Kurt Cobain, I was born too late, and I've always wanted to go see one concert of Nirvana.
So, I told the Doctor about my idea, thinking he would decline it, because I was asking an offer more than an adventure. But, surprisingly, the Doctor accepted, telling he loved Kurt's mom.
Here we are now! 20th September, 1991, Toronto. Nirvana's tour for their album Nevermind.
I was so excited. The Doctor managed to get us two VIP tickets and we were waiting in the line.
"I can't believe I'll finally meet them!" I was very excited. "Doctor! I'm meeting NIRVANA! I don't think you understand me right now."
"Oh, I understand you very well. It's just that I've met them a few times before. I'm not as much excited because I'm simply used to it."
I looked at him dead in the eyes. I can't believe he's just being... a jerk right now.
It was our turn on the line. The bodyguard took our tickets and brought us at the very front line just before the scene, where Nirvana is about to be!
We waited thirty minutes with the Doctor, him looking at me embarrassingly while I was jumping everywhere like a little kid.
"I'm about to meet my heroes, Doctor! You should understand my happiness."
"Like I said earlier, I understand you. Actually, I've already met my heroes."
"Oh, have you?"
Our discussion was cut off by the sound of an electric guitar and the fans' cries throughout the crowd.
Kurt Cobain just appeared on scene with the other members, and they instantly played Smells Like Teens Spirit. Wow, they don't loose their time.
The crowd (me included) got excited very quickly. Everyone was jumping and singing (screaming) the lyrics of the songs among Kurt. The scene was on fire, every member was in a very good shape. They were giving everything and it was just the first song.
When they were finished, everyone around me was panting and was out of their breath. Except for the Doctor. He stayed still. He was standing beside me and he remained completely neutral. More, unimpressed.
"Doctor!" I screamed through the crowd. "Lift me up! On your shoulders!"
"What?! No! Of course not! Never."
"Please Doctor! My heroes, remember?"
He looked at me with exasperation but I did my best puppy eyes to touch him by his feelings. And it worked. With a long sigh, the Doctor knelt down for me to go on his should and he stood up with much more facility than I thought.
The group continued their concert with Stay Away. It was crazy, as ever. I was so close to the scene that I could touch Kurt.
Then again, the song ended, everyone was panting. I looked down at the Doctor, who still remained completely neutral.
"Kurt's playing the guitar very well! It's so amazing I can't believe it! Ugh, Lord!" He didn't flinch. "Doctor, you can play the guitar too, right?"
"Yes I can."
"I've never really saw you play. But I'm sure Kurt can play better than you!"
"Oh?" He lifts his head to look at Kurt. "Well, let's see then."
Suddenly, I was put down, my two foots being on the ground again. When I looked for the Doctor, I didn't find him, until I heard an argument on the scene.
The Doctor was stealing Kurt's guitar.
I didn't understand them very well since they cut off the mics, but somehow the Doctor managed to get Kurt out of the scene because he simply walked away in the backstage.
The Doctor put the mic in his hand in a very dramatic way. "Y/N, listen to this." And he put his sonic glasses on.
The moment he played the first notes, I had shivers down all over my spine. I had nothing to do but to watch him in awe since it was so... I didn't even know. I didn't have the words.
I listened carefully to every note he played. Moonlight Sonata, 3rd movement. Playing amazingly by the Doctor. The whole crowd was silent. I think that everyone just listened respectfully to the Doctor. He managed by only his charisma and talent to shut up a crowd on fire.
His fingers ran smoothly on the guitar but I've never seen anyone playing like this before. It was simply incredible.
I couldn't tell if he was watching me since he had his sunglasses but I felt like his eyes were on me while he played and it made me blush.
At some time, the other group members joined the Doctor. The drummer started to play among the alien but took a few second to adjust to him, just like the bassist. Well, he was playing so very well.
I was so obsessed with the Doctor's playing that I didn't react when he was finished. What? Already finished?! No more Guitar Doctor?!
He came down to the crowd, where I was. Everyone was looking at us strangely and Kurt came back to the scene. The fans' screams came back, everything was turning back to normal.
The Doctor took me firmly by my arm and brought me out of the crowd and even out of the concert. We were heading back to the TARDIS.
When we arrived in the spaceship, the Doctor acted like nothing just happened while I was still shocked by his godly performance.
"Doctor! That- That's was incredible! Purely amazing! Like- Wow, I don't even have the words, I-"
"Shush." He looked at me in the eyes. "So, who plays the guitar better now?"
"...You" I said in awe.
"Right." He responded, turning his back to me to put coordinates on the control panel.
"Why did you do this?"
"Did what?"
"I don't know, stealing Kurt's Cobain's guitar to play Moonlight Sonata?"
"Oh, so you did recognize the song."
"Doctor, please, I'm not stupid!" I waited a moment but he didn't answer my question. "Why did you do this? And what did you tell Kurt?"
He ignored me and continued to do his things to the control panel.
I decided to drop the subject and do my things by myself in the TARDIS. When I was about to open the door to the library, the Doctor decided to talk.
"I have met my heroes too. Beethoven, for example." I didn't respond. I stood still right before the door, listening carefully to what he was saying. "I lost a close friend of mine a long time ago. But I couldn't remember anything about my friend. I was sad and angry. I was full of regrets and grief took every part of my soul. So, I took my guitar and played, and played, and played. Until I come up with this music. So, I wrote it down, and thought that it was so beautiful, I should give it to Beethoven."
"You... You're telling me that you actually composed Moonlight Sonata?"
"Only the third movement. Beethoven did the rest."
I watched him in awe. He was still acting like nothing happened, like he didn't actually write one of the best pieces of classical music. Sometimes, I couldn't believe how he could be so... indifferent.
"Also, I wanted to show you what I was capable of."
"So... you were jealous?"
"WHAT?! No! Not at all! Never in this world!"
"You... were jealous because I said Kurt could play the guitar better than you? Are you serious right now Doctor?" I laughed but the Doctor blushed harder.
"N-No, I wasn't jealous at all! I just wanted to... impress you!"
"Well, it's done! Congrats Doctor!" I approached him and face his body. "But, to be honest Doctor, you don't need to impression me with your guitar. You have a whole TARDIS for yourself that you stole from your home planet, home planet that you fled because you were bored, you even composed Moonlight Sonata! You're an alien, a Time Lord! You're a time and space traveller... What I mean is, you already impress me every day by just being you, Doctor. You don't have to know how to play the guitar to impress me more."
"Oh, are you sure about that? Do you want me to play it again?"
We laughed together. "Doctor, it was really impressive, thank you. You really play the guitar much better than Kurt Cobain."
"Of course, I do! I told you I played better."
