A lost universe, a lost child

The lost universe

Long ago, before the great time war, there was a legend. A legend of a different universe where all where at peace and there were no enemies. This legend was told to all the time lords as they grew up, before they looked into the time vortex. As time went on this story was forgotten by all species including the time lords. Except one.

And his name was the Doctor.

“Theme music”

“Let’s go explore old gal,” The Doctor said as he walked into the TARDIS, his hand lingering on the “bigger on the inside than outside” walls.

The doctor had just come back from a nice picnic with River song, and planned to plan out a plan for his next stop. But first he had to find some paper.

“Blast this big mess.” The Doctor grumbled unhappily as he walked into his planning room. It had been weeks since he last came in here and the TARDIS’s bumpy rides didn't help to keep stuff in place.

I really need to clean this up. The Doctor thought to himself. But first I have planning to get done. He shuffled through the heaps of paper, pens, pencils, and old inventions he had never moved to his new invention room since he changed this one into a planning room.

He finally found his old list of places he wanted to visit from his child hood. The paper appeared new thanks to some old Galifray science. The language on the paper was from Galifray as well. The Doctor stood there a moment, remembering when he wrote the paper.

He had been sitting on the peak of his favorite hill that over looked the city just so, that the suns shone perfectly behind it at dawn. It had only been a day since he had been made to look into the vortex. He had seen so many wonderful things in that small glimpse. So he had run. He ran straight home, with wonder in his eyes ready to explore the universe.

The doctor walked out of the planning room, a sad smile on his face. It had been so long since then. What he would give to be that little boy again. No worries or problems. No longing to have just one living thing know how it feels. To understand.

Finally snapping out of his emotional moment, the doctor jogged over to the TARDIS controls to place coordinates from the paper in. he read over it crossing things out and circling others.

“been to Blanardoscipe, definitely not going back to earth, not Adipose 3, Anuras to wet,  Exxilons is dead, I blew up Hedron, could go to Hurala, but it’s a bit cold, lvan is run by Sontarans and they hate me…"

The doctor trailed off as he noticed the last place on the page,

“The lost universe.” He whispered. He remembered the story that was told to him as a child. It was said that only the chosen ones can find the hidden passages there. He had dreamed of going there for a long time.

A memory of what he saw in the vortex so long ago flashed through the doctor’s mind. Pictures flashed.

A black hole, an earth like planet, a darkness, a purple equine with black eyes and a horn on its head, that same equine lying dead on the floor, and last of all a large star surrounded by many other smaller ones.

Now the doctor’s train of thought drifted to another memory.

The doctor snuck out of his house, not making any noise so not to wake anyone. He broke into a jog towards the faint shadow of his friend The Master. Together they went into the Master’s new type 25 TARDIS and they took off through time and space. “Where should we go?” The Master had asked.

“Let’s find the lost universe!” The Doctor had burst out excitedly. They had gone to 41 different planets before giving up hope of finding it. That was the first and last time the doctor ever went anywhere with the Master, but it was just the beginning of his many other explorations.

Vroughuuu, Vrouuugh, Vrouuugh.

A noise startled The Doctor out of his lost memories.

“What the???” The TARDIS was starting on its own, going to what The Doctor thought was an unknown location. He jogged over to the console screen to check the location they were traveling to. Too late he saw that the TARDIS was heading straight into a black hole.

“nononononononononononono! no! You can’t do this!” he yelled at his TARDIS, knowing she probably wouldn't listen. He ran around the room tripping and trying to turn his ship around.

“I knew you would be angry if I didn't clean up that custard I spilled in your control panel!” The TARDIS was shaking so hard it flung The Doctor towards the window. He stood shakily, holding onto the wall as much as he could. When he looked out his breath caught.

You smart sexy thing! His TARDIS was brilliant! Suddenly he went flying out of the control room and into his anti gravity room. Other stuff flew around every which way as the TARDIS shook more violently every moment. A sharp pain exploded in the doctor’s stomach, but he was too happy to care.

“Here I come lost universe!” He laughed like he had seen earth for the first time again. The pain in his stomach suddenly skyrocketed and he finally looked down. A pair of scissors where imbedded in his midsection.

“Here I come lost universe” The Doctor said as golden energy started to flow around him. “And here comes number twelvaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”

A unicorn mare rushed through the Everfree forest, her horn alight with magic. A hooded cloak covered her face but her weeping could be heard. As she ran, a blue basket floated above her head. She came to a halt at the front of a cave. She had to do this. It was her only chance to make up for her mistake. For now her child would be safe. She set the basket down behind a rock in the cave like it said to on the note.

“Goodbye sweat little Minuette.” The cloaked mare whispered.  A rustle in the bushes startled the mare and she ran, leaving her child.

“She went this way. Follow her.” A gruff voice yelled. Three tall figures ran past the child’s hiding place. Moments later a scream was heard by the child's small ears.
