Chapter 5

The Most Important Woman in All of Creation

VWORP! VWORP!

The sound of the TARDIS filled the room of the refuge as Twelve instructed all the people in the room to get behind him. Donna let Leela and her daughter get in front of her as they all crowded behind him as all around them, something began to materialize.

“What is going on?” A random man in the room gasped.

“You are being placed inside of my machine!” Twelve instructed, “It’s called…” He trailed off when he looked at Donna, for fear of saying something that she would recognize and therefore triggering her memory. “The Valiard, it’s called the Valiard. It can go anywhere in time and space. And it’s mine.”

The TARDIS materialized around them in full, becoming completely solid as everyone in the room were left to marvel at this.

“Oh my god!” Donna cried, rushing around the TARDIS, “look at this, this is fantastic!”

“Did you just say fantastic?” Twelve chuckled.

“Yes, I did. What, do you not like that word?”

“Yes, and no. It’s very nostalgic.”

“What a strange word to get nostalgic over,” She laughed, moving up to him and leaning on the unit while all the others were still looking around in amazement. “How did you materialize this thing around us?”

“Imagine a blanket folding around a bed. Are you picturing it?”

“Yes.”

“Good, because it’s nothing like that. Don’t take all the fun out of the situation, Donna, because I can tell you that the explanation is long, dry and very sciency whiency molecular specular.”

“Started well, that sentence.”

“It did get away from me, yeah.”

“But what about the rest of the people in the factory?” Donna asked, “can you fit them all in here and get them home?”

“Precisely,” Leela stressed, keeping a hold of her child as she walked past, “there are many more.”

“Don’t worry about that, because think of the biggest ship you have ever seen. Are you picturing it?”

“Yes.”

“Well good, because it’s nothing like that either. This ship is infinite.”

“You love your indirect definitions that don’t really define anything, don’t you?” Donna asked.

“Sometimes the best way to be clear is to be as unclear as possible,” Twelve said, moving around the consul unit, pulling up his computer screen.

“Well, what is that?” Donna laughed, “space logic?” She pressed his arm with her hand affectionately and they both realized that she was doing so. Twelve looked at her with kindness, Donna looked confused and she removed her hand.

“Sorry.”

“No, it’s fine, really.”

“No, really, sorry.”

“Fine, fine.”

“Are you sure that you are not saying fine just because you wish for it to be fine, but not really?”

“No really, I don’t feel violated at all.”

Donna scoffed.

“Violated? How could that have been me violating you?”

Twelve smirked at her and Donna could not help but smile.

“Oh, go on, then.”

“You still have not told me if you like my machine.”

“What?” She laughed, “you couldn’t tell from my expression. I love it!”

“Do you?”

“Yes, oh, it is wicked!”

“I never heard you ever say wicked before,” Twelve smiled.

“Well, didn’t we just meet?”

Twelve’s smiled faltered.

“Yes, I suppose that we did.
