The Butterfly and Inca Effect

Sam:

            Where are we going now doctor?

Doctor:

            You’re the curious one of the bunch aren’t you Sam?

Sam:

            I just wanted to know where we’re going, that’s all.

Doctor:

            I’ll give you three hints:  there’s lots of rock, no electricity, but plenty of homes.

Sam:

            Those aren’t very good hints.

                        The doctor smiled and walked around inside of the TARDIS.

Doctor:

            Well, we have arrived, let’s take a look around.  You first, Sam.

                        The doctor leaned against on one of the walls in the TARDIS and nodded towards the doors.  Sam walked to the door and  opened it.

Sam:

            Doctor, it can’t be!

Doctor:

            Oh, but it is all right.

 

Sam:

            We’re at the Inca’s Machu Pichu!

Doctor:

            Yes, it’s all fascinating, isn’t it?  The crisp, thin air, all the stone and mud housing, the hill forming for farming and don’t forget the people.  What   a hardy bunch they are eh?  Allons-y Sam, I wanna show you something.

                        The doctor took Sam by the hand and ran towards the cities.   To the left and right they saw stone carvings of unfamiliar  people.

Sam:

            Does the butterfly affect effect your time traveling?

                        The doctor turned around and looked at Sam.  He had a   thoughtful look on his face even though the doctor was  laughing at him.

Doctor:

            Wanna know how I see it?

Sam:

            Enlighten me.

Doctor:

            Try not to get lost, ok?  Here’s how time travel works… in my opinion.     You see, being the doctor has lots of responsibilities.

Sam:

            Such as?

 

Doctor:

            Such as not dying.  The doctor can time travel to any point in time, when  ever and where ever.  You following?

Sam:

            So far?  Yes.

Doctor:

            Good.  The doctor has “duties” that he, or in my case, she, has to fix that  the previous doctor messed up in the timeline.  The “mysterious” spaceships and the gods the pharaoh’s talk about coming down from the            heavens is actually doctor’s appearing from the TARDIS.  Although, at the same time I’m not saying that there wasn’t a god or gods at one  point or another.  So the butterfly effect you are talking about only applies to non-doctors’, but you don’t have to worry about anything  because you’re with me

Sam:

            Oh, well that’s a relief!

Doctor:

            Now Allons-y, I want you to meet an old friend of mine.

                        Sam and the doctor walked towards the center of buildings

                        and stone carvings.  They started to pass a statue in the center

                        of town but Sam stopped.  He looked at the statue and saw

                        it was a guy in a trench coat holding something in his right

                        hand.

Sam:

            Is that you doctor? This statue I mean.

 

Doctor:

            Aye, it is, two forms ago.  That man right there-

Sam:

            Is the tenth doctor!  He’s my favorite!

                        Sam looked over at the doctor who looked a little crushed.

Doctor:

            …

Sam:

            I-I mean, you’re awesome!  The best! The-

Doctor:

            Its ok Sam, I forgive you.  I look up to him as well, even though he  is actually me… with better hair…I wonder if he was a ginger. 

Sam:

            You’ve never run into him before while you were time traveling?

Doctor:

            Surprisingly no, but you would be surprised how big time and space is.

                        The doctor stared up at the statue in an infatuated gaze.

Sam:

            Uh, Doctor?  Doctor?!

                        The doctor was looking at the statue oblivious to Sam.

Doctor:

            Yes?  What is it?

 

Sam:

            There are strange men running towards us!

Doctor:

            That’s lovely.

Sam:

            Doctor!

                        The doctor turned around towards Sam and snapped out of her daze.

Doctor:

            What?!

                        One of the men grabbed the doctor’s neck and pinned her against the statue.

Sam:

            Doctor!

                        Sam gets his over the head and falls to the ground.

Guy:

            Who are you?

Doctor:

            I’m-the doctor.

Guy:

            Lies!  The doctor is male as the statue behind you.  French     impersonating the doctor must die!

 

Doctor:

            No really I am the doctor!  I hail from gall-

                        The guy hits the doctor on the head and carries her and Sam off to a really big building.  They walk inside the building and  set Sam on a bench, they throw the doctor on the floor in front of Sam.  The men tie Sam’s wrists and ankles together and tie the doctor’s wrists up.  They walk away and a few seconds later  Sam wakes up and see’s the doctor unconscious.

 Sam:

            Psst!  Doctor! Pssst!  Wake up!  Hurry!

                        The doctor doesn’t wake up.

Sam:

            Oh doctor!  I have some nice yummy pears!

Doctor:

            I hate pears!

                        The doctor wakes up and looks at Sam.

Sam:

            Okay, good.  You’re awake.

Doctor:

            Are you my mummy?

Sam:

            Snap out of it doctor!  Where are we at?

                        The doctor shakes her head a few times and looks around.

Doctor:

            Well, I think we are in an old missionary.  Looking at the architectural

            work, and where I’m at, it looks almost like…

Sam:

            Like what?

Doctor:

            Like my handiwork!  Ah-ha!  This, this is wicked!  Amazing! Out

            of this worl-

 

Sam:

            Come again?

Doctor:

             He did all this…but why?

Sam:

            Doctor!  Those men are coming back!

Guy:

            Here she is sir, claims to be the doctor, caught her speakin’ French I did.   What should we do with her my lord?

Lord:

            What…exactly did she say…in French?

Guy:

            Well my lord, I’m not really sure, but I know she’s a spy, look at how       she’s dressed!  She could be-

                        The lord put his hand up and the guy fell silent.  He walked over towards the doctor and yanked her up by the crook of her arm.

Sam:

            Watch out!

Doctor:

            Quiet Sam!

                        The lord was so close to the doctor’s face their noses

                        almost touched.  Both had a serious look on their face,

                        this was rare for the doctor.

Lord:

            Where are you from?

Doctor:

            I hail from Gallifrey, uh sire.  It’s in the-

Lord:

            I know what quadrant it is in.  You say you’re the doctor, but the last  time I saw the doctor it was male.  In childhood that was.  Many, many    Earth cycles ago.  He said he would return, but not look the same.  Said      he would show me something that lights up that I loved as a child.  Do you have that thing?

Doctor:

            Yes, but it’s in my pocket.  Can you untie my hands?

Guy:

            It’s a trap!

Lord:

            Silence!  If I untie hands, but you trick us, you will be maimed. 

Doctor:

            You have my word.

Lord:

            It is, and will be done.

                        The lord untied the doctor and stepped back.  His old eyes  focused on the doctor as she reached into her pocket and  pulled out her sonic screwdriver.

Lord:

            You know what to do.

                        The doctor walked up onto the platform and put her screwdriver up to a modernized black panel.  She turned on her screwdriver and it made music come out of nowhere.  Confetti   fell from the ceiling in blues, pinks, greens, and oranges.  The  lord started to laugh and a smile appeared on the doctor’s face.

Lord:

            Well done, doctor!

Doctor:

            Allons-y lord!

Sam:

            None of this makes ANY sense!

                        The doctor walked down the stairs and gave the lord a hug.

                        The guard was going to say something but he stopped.

Doctor:

            It’s been a long time.

Lord:

            It has, doctor, and my how you’ve changed.

Doctor:

            Yeah well…ya know.

Lord:

            And I see you’re still not ginger.

Doctor:

            I take it how it goes.

Lord:

            Welcome back!  As you saw we’ve dedicated my entire city to you.

Doctor:

            Oh, well, not me per say, but my better, handsome half.

Sam:

            A little HELP here?!

Doctor:

            Right, can someone untie him please?

Sam:

            Thank you EVER so much doctor.

Doctor:

            So uh…

Lord:

            You can call me D.

Doctor:

            D?

D:

            Yes, ever since I met you I wanted to be just like you, so I went with D.

Doctor:

            I was a good influence on you then?

D:

            Yes, he was very nice. 

Doctor:

            When exactly did he, well, I, say I would come back.

D:

            Well, if my memory serves me well, and even though I’m old,

            I still have good memory.  I remember the time-

Doctor:

            When?!

                        The doctor noticed they were back at the center of town and

                        was standing next to a sundial.  It was 12:30pm.

D:

            Now actually, in that field right over there.

                        D and the doctor watched as the TARDIS blinked in and out

                        of existence.  Sam caught up with the two of them.

Sam:

            Is that-

Doctor:

            The TARDIS.

Sam:

            Which means-

Doctor:

            Both of us are going to see ten for the first time.

Sam:

            But he said he was going to look different.

Doctor:

            Maybe it’s the 11^th, not the 10^th.

Sam:

            Possibly.

D:

            Look.  He’s back.  Just like I remembered.

                        The three of them looked at the TARDIS.  One of the doors   opened and out stepped the 10^th doctor.  He put his hands in his  pockets and walked towards the three people staring at him.

12Doctor:

            Well, even then I wasn’t a ginger, but I still look nice.

 

10Doctor:

            Oi!  Anyone here a lord?

                        Both D and the doctor raised their hand and Sam laughed.  The                      12^th doctor blushed.

10:

            What’s wrong with you miss?  You don’t seem to fit in this place.

12:

            I am…

D:

            I think you might have to come with us Doctor, you’ll be surprised.

10:

            Oh really now?  And what makes you say that?  Something like: “Oh   doctor, don’t you know?  This lady is also a doctor, she’s you after you’ve transformed?”

12:

            Well, two after you to be exact…there was one before me, doctor.

10:

            …what?!

 

END OF PART 1!
