Chapter 6: Epilogue
Moon Mechanics.
Chapter 6: Riley's POV. I woke up slowly, feeling like I'd had a weeks' worth of rest in one night. I was still naked, and still on the TARDIS floor but that really didn't bother me. I yawned, stretched, and sat up, shoving my hair out of my eyes as I looked around for Jack and the Doctor. I found them a few feet away, equally naked and lying on the floor together, apparently deep in conversation. I wasn't fooled by the casualness of it all. I'd seen into the Doctor's head, and I knew now what he'd done even if I hadn't known at the time. I knew the price he'd payed for saving me, and how that would affect him and truth be told, in the over-all scale of things it was the most selfless act anyone had ever committed on my behalf. "Doctor...?" I asked, cautiously. He sat up and looked over. "Riley, you're awake! How do you feel?" "Great, actually. I feel like I slept a week..." "Just one night." He said, and I could tell he was trying to hide concern. "I'm fine, really... but what about you, Doctor?" "What about me?" "I know what you did, what it means to you... you payed a price for helping me and now you have to live with it, forever." "Yeah, I do, but..." I cut him off, already knowing what he was going to say. "I just wanted to say, thank you, Doctor. What you did, is the most caring and selfless thing anyone's ever done for me, and I just want you to know how much that means to me..." "I wouldn't change it, if that's what you think. Even if I could go back on my own time-line, which I can't, by the way, no one can. It would create a paradox." "And that would be bad." I said, grinning a little. "Yeah, destroy the universe kind of bad..." "No chance of going back and telling myself to punch Talon in the face and dump him then, eh?" "No, 'fraid not. Who's Talon?" "He was one of my mates. Long story short, he was a jerk." He didn't press further. I had a feeling he already knew... Suddenly, as we all searched for clothes, something finally went click in my head. "Oh my god! We're in a time machine! I'm in the twenty-first century!" "Uhm, yeah. Where'd that come from all of a sudden?" Jack asked. "I dunno, I guess it just hit me. I was kind of a little distracted last night, what with attempting to eat you, and the fever, and the blood-lust an' all..." "Yeah, I guess you were..." The Doctor said, then; "Tell you what, Riley Jenson..." He grinned widely then. "How about, I show you what a TARDIS is really for, eh? We could go anywhere. Past, future, another planet... Oh! I know! Fellspoon! You'll love it! They've got mountains that sway in the breeze! Really, mountains that can move! Hah! You're a wolf, wolves like mountains don't they? I like mountains. Especially moving mountains, so... What do you say, Riley Jenson, citizen of twenty-seventh century Earth; fancy a trip?" "Are you asking me to come with you?" I could only hope... "Yeah, course. Why not? Don't you want to? I mean, it doesn't have to be Fellspoon, it could be somewhere else, maybe..." "Doctor!" "Yeah?" "Of course I'm coming, and Fellspoon sounds great. I just wasn't sure you'd exactly want me, after..." "Nah! Don't worry about it. Oh, and call your brother. He'll kill me if he thinks we snatched you..." "But we're in the past... How will my cell phone work?" "Oh, hold on..." The Time Lord pulled out his sonic screwdriver and zapped my phone. I suddenly had full signal. "Universal roaming. Calls anyone, anywhere in time and space, just s'long as you know the area code..." I looked at the phone in disbelief. "Go on, try it." The Doctor urged, and I punched in Rhoan's number, remembering the area code, of course. He answered on the third ring. "Hey sis, you alright?" "Yeah, I'm fine..." "Where are you?" "This is gonna sound nuts... I'm in the twenty-first century, in London, and it's..." I checked my watch. "Eight thirty in the morning." "What! I gotta tell you, Riley, whoever that Doctor is, he's either entirely bonkers, or just freakin' amazing!" I laughed at that. "Bit of both, I think, bro." "So, you're seriously calling me from like, six centuries ago?" "Yep. The Doctor gave my phone a bit of an upgrade..." I inwardly smirked at that. "Universal roaming." "No shit." Rhoan said, apparently still trying to comprehend it all. Truth be told, so was I. "So, where to now?" He asked, and I took a breath, and said; "I'm not coming back just yet." "What do you mean by 'yet'?" Rhoan asked, cautiously. "I mean, I'm going to stay with Jack and the Doctor for a while. Travel for a bit, y'know?" "You mean, travel through time and space with the freaky alien in the suit and the weird immortal guy?" "Yeah, basically..." "You were always going to go, weren't you?" He asked, and I knew he was right. I'd subconsciously made my decision the moment I'd first met the two strangers with the even stranger blue box... "Yeah, I guess I was..." "I'll tell the others for you. And Riley..." "Yeah?" "Be careful..." "Will do, bro..." I hung up. "Right then! All set?" The Doctor asked, enthusiastically. I nodded. "Yeah, I really am." "Great! Now then; Fellspoon!" "Fellspoon." Jack said, grinning. I moved to stand between them at the control panel, watching what they were doing, and I couldn't help grinning myself. "Yeah, Fellspoon..." And right at that moment, a planet steeped with moving mountains was exactly what I needed... I could only hope that it would be the start of another great alien adventure... I had the feeling that as far as adventure went, with Jack and the Doctor I would never be disappointed... I smiled as the TARDIS screamed, thumped and whirled its way towards a far off alien planet, and right then I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else... *** And that's the end of that. Lol. If anyone's interested, I'm writing a sequel. Lol. If and when I decide to ever get around to finishing it, it will be called "Moon Madness." lol. Also, if I spelt Felspoon wrong I alologise... lol. Feel free to correct me if I did... lolz.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
