He couldn’t very well go about introducing her as his alien, time traveling friend. While he was sure that he’d have no problem taking her on the route with him, bus driver’s were notorious gossips and they’d hound him relentlessly for details should they catch wind. “That’s my -,” he paused trying to think of a plausible reason for why he’d be hanging out with The Doctor. Graham glanced back over at The Doctor who had gotten down on her knees to peer underneath the chairs in the waiting room. Whatever you say.” She looked past him with a smile. But sometimes you need a routine you know.” Graham thought back to the past couple trips he had with The Doctor and shook his head.
“Never thought I’d hear those words from your mouth. Besides, I miss driving the ‘ole bus around anyways.”Ĭasey laughed and tossed him a set of keys. But I had him running around pick shifts all last week and I know that his daughter is having a recital today and- She looked haggard and ran a weary hand over her face. Dan is usually never out, and when he is Bill takes over. “Thanks for picking up,” she said, checking him in. “Mornin’ Casey.” Graham waved at the woman behind the counter. I’m gonna grab my stuff.”Īs she ran out of his room Graham had the distinct feeling that he had been played. The Doctor jumped off the bed giving him a sloppy salute. The Doctor perked up, all trace of previous sadness gone. “Today’s gonna be an easy route, so I guess you can ride along.” Was he really going to do this? He looked back at The Doctor. She had insisted that it was just a little strop and that the TARDIS would come back in a couple of days, but days became weeks, and weeks had turned into a month there was no sign of the ship’s return. For reasons unbeknownst to them the TARDIS had abandoned The Doctor on Earth. The TARDIS was a tricky subject and they’d been trying to avoid mentioning the ship around The Doctor. Why’d she have to leave?” The Doctor buried her head into her arms, and Graham sighed. But she isn’t here and there’s nothing to do.
“It’s not boring when the TARDIS is here. She gave him an unimpressed look and flipped over onto her stomach. You’ve stayed on Earth for longer stretches of time than this.” “Surely human life can’t be that mundane. "Please, Graham.” She flopped down on the bed. You’ve only been here a month and have already gotten arrested twice.”
WERE GOING ON A TRIP IN OUR FAVORITE ROCKETSHIP FREE
I just want a nice, normal, stress free bus route." "What if I say the fate of the universe depends on it." Since then she’d been pestering him about taking a trip on the bus. A week ago, Ryan took The Doctor with him to the bus depot so that they could meet Graham at the end of his route. Some sort of flu had swept through his old job like a storm, and he found himself picking up shifts for whoever was out that day. He should've known that that was going to be the question. Graham closed his eyes and let out a breath. He wasn't going to try and argue that it was probably her presence in the room that woke him up. "Alright, alright." He raised his hands in defeat. The Doctor scrambled up on the bed with a grin. "Don't think I'll be gettin' back to sleep anytime soon. He yawned and patted the spot next to him in bed.
The Doctor had the decency to look sheepish. How long have you been sitting there? Nevermind that. "Oh good, you're awake," she said happily. The Doctor in question was sat cross-legged on the ground next to his bed, staring up with a goofy smile on her face. "Doctor, what the hell are you doing?" Graham asked, when he was sure that he wasn't going to die of hyperventilation or something. Graham let out a noise, that definitely wasn't a high pitched squeal, and scrambled back until he was on the other side of the bed. With a sigh he slowly lowered his hand and came face to face with gold speckled eyes. It took once, twice, three times to turn the lamp on. He threw a hand over his face and rolled over, preparing himself for the onslaught of light that would come when he turned on the lamp. In fact he was relieved to be in his own bed at his own home for once. He stared up at his ceiling trying to figure if there was some other reason he woke up. Knowing what he knew now, that aliens had some weird obsession with earth, it was probably the latter. The Doctor would probably say it was some instinct left over from humanities days as hunter and gatherers either that or one of his ancestors shagged an alien. Graham awoke with the uncomfortable feeling that he was being watched.
