The Doctor's Helper

14: Stormcage

"CALEB!" Bailey screamed probably thinking I'm mental.

"Shush!" I scorn her, landing the TARDIS.

Caleb ran into the console room as I bounded down the steps to the wooden doors.

"What is going on?" He asked.

"Your girlfriend is going insane. More than usual."

"Oi! Not you too. We are not dating!" I groan. I don't like him. At least I think I don't.

"You guys have always been my OTP." She shrugged. I groaned and opened the TARDIS doors, looking out at my surroundings.

"It worked." I breathed. "I did it!" I shouted a bit louder.

"You did it? Did what?" The Doctor asked bounding into the room.

"She flew the TARDIS." Bailey told him.

"SHE WHAT?!" I could hear him scream. "Where did she go?" He asked.

I left the TARDIS a while ago, and now I'm running. Down the hallways, trying to find her. After five minutes, I found the cell she told me.

"River." I smiled. "Do have anything?"

"Of course I do." She smirked.

"Good, I have more information."

"And I have information I have to tell you myself. Too dangerous to commit on paper." She said as she slid a file through the bars and took it.

"I can jump in between my universe and this one now. And I checked, no holes." I inform her.

"Interesting..."

"CRYSTAL!" I heard the Doctor yell.

"What ever you need to tell me, tell me quick before he gets here." I tell her.

"Ah. But this takes a while to explain. Give me a sec and I'll join you." She whispered the last part. She pulled out some lipstick.

Oh, she's good.

"I'll make sure the Doc doesn't see you." I run off to find the Doctor.

"Crystal." He shouted spotting me from the end of the hallway.

"Oh poor helpless me." I said pretending to be scared. "You know what would be fun?" I ask him. I quickly look behind me to see River completely out of her cell. "Running into the TARDIS with River on my side." I smiled and ran past River, who followed me to the TARDIS.

"God, Crystal. What has gotten into you?" The Doctor called.

"I want answers!" I shout back in a singsong voice.

We ran into the TARDIS quickly before bounding into one of the hallways and into a room.

"Come on, girl. Can you make sure they don't find us?" River soothed the TARDIS. She moaned in response.

I looked around the room. "Oh my. I thought he was lying when he said this room existed." I mumble. I found an entire room filled with bounce houses.

"The idiot!" River gasped.

"That you married." I remind her.

"Touché."

"Now what do you need to tell me?" I asked sitting on the airy bounce house.

"Oh yes. Obviously, I'm assuming you flew here yourself. Am I correct?"

"It's what you get for watching the show so much." I shrug.

"But none of your friends would be able to compete with your pin point accuracy."

I sit up straighter. "What do you mean?"

"You know how I became a child of the TARDIS, right?"

"Yeah. The time stream on your parents' wedding night." I gulp not wanting to go into detail.

"Correct. The time stream creates a child of the TARDIS when the baby is... being created while in the vortex."

"What's that go to do with me?"

"Well... How else do you think your parents created you?"

"You mean, I'm technically a child of the TARDIS?"

"Your my older sister." River smiled.

"Oh god." I yelled and fell back onto the bounce house. "I feel old!"

"Oi! And Sorry." River smirked.

I could hear a pounding on the door. "River! Crystal! Open this door or so help me..." the Doctor yelled.

"You can tell him." I shrug.

"Come on, Sweetie. You really think you will win, when you're in the children of TARDIS' home domain." She called.

"There are more of you?!" He gasped.

"Only one."

"Heyo!" I called.

The other side was silent. I slowly got up and walked to the door. Opening it carefully I saw the Doctor leaning his head against the wall.

"Doc? Are you okay?" I whisper.

"Why?" He mumbled, turning to face me. "Why are you so confusing?" He yelled taking steps towards me until he was in my face. "WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS? YOUR SUPPOSED TO HELP YET YOU MAKE IT WORSE! WHY?!" He screamed.

"I-I don't know. That's why I wanted River to help me. She has a long sentence there." I whispered scared out of my wits.

"Well, she needs to work faster."

"Hello sweetie." River popped out of the room.

"How'd you get out of Stormcage?"

"Long story. Anyways, while you're saving the world. I'm trying to figure out why she's so confusing. I'm helping you." River explains.

"Well do you got?"

"So far? Only that I'm like River. Made in the vortex." I say.

"Crystal..."

"You sound like my mum. Your my friend; you can call me Crys."

"I'm also technically your brother-in-law. Let's not push it."

"Okay. I give up. I'm 18. A chick whose older than her." I point to River. "A girl who jump through the fabric of space and time not knowing how the heck she does it. A person who doesn't know what's going on for once. I'M CONFUSED!" I scream. The I start to breathe heavily.

"Becca! HELP CRYSTAL!" Both the Doctor and River scream. Becca runs in a moment later and inserts a pill into my mouth and gives me a bottle of water.

"Thanks." I whisper. I start to leave.

"Where do you think you're going?" The Doctor asked.

"Home." I whisper.

So sorry for the wait. It's a filler chapter because I'm very conflicted on whether I want to do get rid of the Ponds now or later.

I'm leaning towards now. I have plans that are very Moffatish. I love that word.

I will write more. There are only four more chapters :(. Don't worry though, there will be a sequel. In the summer, ha ha.

Ems out!✌️
