“I’m fine”, said the Doctor,”don’t worry about me, just get the card!”

I should probably explain. Hi. I’m Samuel Panake. I travel around the universe with the Doctor, the last remaining timelord. As my colleage currently hangs out of a giant T-Rex’s mouth, I have been instructed to retrive a card that, in therory, should stop a bomb from going off.

“Doctor”, I shouted,” are you sure you don’t want your Stunner?”

“I’ll be fine!” He shouted back, “just get the bloody card!”

I picked up the card and put it in my pocket. I then went back to the Doctor’s Time and Relative Dimensions in Space, or TARDIS for short, and picked up his Stunner. Usally the Doctor’s only weapon is his Sonic Screwdriver, but seeing as how our travels have gotten more and more dangerous, the Doctor decided to make a different weapon that would only paralyze our enemies with a bright flash of light, unless they’re vampires but that one was my own fault.

I took aim, fired, and hit the dinosaur right in the face. He dropped the Doctor to the ground and he ran up to me and pulled the gun from my hands.Then  we ran back to the TARDIS and, after he pulled some levers, we were off.

“I thought we had a rule about the Stunner!” he said.

“That was one time!” I argued back, “Plus, you could’ve died”.

“I had it well under my control”, he said.

“Not from where I stood, looked as though you were about to be part of a dinosaur’s lunch.”

He sulked away and after about three more minutes we had arrived at our destination. When we stepped out I was in shock. The place we were in looked like a more high tech version of London. There were skyscrappers at least two hundred feet high and cars gliding a foot in the air. But what really shocked me was the light. Everything was so bright! I couldn’t believe that they even had a night time.

“Where are we?” I gasped.

“Alpha Centuri”, said the Doctor, scowling.

“Like the star?” I said.


“This is the star. A thick pad of heat resistant rubber is the only thing seperating us from a very painful death.” He replied.

That’s encouraging I though. I don’t know what it was about this place but it seemed to make him very angry. As we walked around I noticed that he always had a scowl on his face. Another thing I saw was the inhabitants. They weren’t human, at all. They looked more like gigantic dragons with scales running all over their bodies and a jaw housing hundreds of teeths.

“What is it about this place that makes you so…” I started

“Angry. These aliens aren’t exactly the kindest creatures.” He said.

After a while of walking we came to a huge tower, what must have been their city hall. We entered. Inside we came to two aliens and right beside them, the bomb.

“So, the time lord has indeed found us.” They said.

“They speak english?” I asked

“The TARDIS is a universal translator. I’m not even speaking english right now.” he explained. “Why destroy you’re home world?”

“You see”, they began, “Alpha Centuri is very special. As I’m sure you’re aware after every decision is made an ulternate universe is created where the oppisote of this decsion is made. Most of the time the change is small but the effects add up, even if they do add up infinitesmally. Alpha Centuri was the original earth. The decisions here added up to us becomeing a star and now, as we blow it up, all other earths will be destoryed.”

    “Why?” I asked

“Because if this world was never around to make those decisons then none of the seperate earths would have been created”, answered the Doctor.

    He reached to his side.He shot the Stunner  and hit one of the aliens.

    “What was that!” Hissed the other.

    “The Space Time and Universal Neutralizer and Nullificaton Equilizer Ray. Or Stunner for short”, said the Doctor

    “Impressive”, said the Alien.

    Before he could act the Doctor shot him too. We raced to the bomb. There was only about three minutes left before it exploded.

    “Why do the bad guys always set a timer?” I asked, “Wouldn’t it be simpler to just explode the thing?”

    “It would”, said the Doctor, “but that would mean we would lose and we can’t have that.”

    He took the card.

    “Also, why make something that could disarm your WMD? Makes no sense.”

    “Why are asking this?” Asked the Doctor.

    “Filler.” I said.

    He swiped the card and, nothing. Nothing happened. The Doctor was not calm.

    “Why is this not working?” He asked, frantically swiping the card.

    I looked around for something else that could disarm the bomb. I found it.

    “Go” I said, “leave”.

    “What?!” Asked the Doctor.

    “I can disarm it” I said.

    Before he could argue I swallowed it.  The sole thing that this bomb could be made of.

    I touched the bomb and the energy was exchanged. Mine for its. The last thing I saw was the screen turning blank.




    “That’s what happened” explained the Doctor.

    “Really?” asked his new companion.

    “Why do you think i travel around with only girls now. If I saw another man die trying to stop something I caused then I’d be reminded of the sacrifice sam made.” He said.

    “That explains so much” She said, and off they went. To London.

Hello there! I found your story title interesting, and first of all I'd say your story is definitely worth the title!
It's interesting. I enjoyed the read so much from the very beginning to the end.

What I like most of your story was the original idea and the plotting. There are many stories depicting future appearances and experiences, but this one comes with a good plotting. Like, a sacrifice someone made for the doctor, and then the doctor changed into traveling with a girl. That means there is a change to the doctor's character, and that's what I expect from a story--changes to the main character.

Also I noticed some typos in your text (which would be detailed below). I'm still unsure whether the typos are intentionally made to emphasize the aliens' speaking dialect, or they were pure mistakes. Anyway, just refer to the details below.

Last but not least, please pardon me for critiquing your impressive work. I learned a lot from your writing, and also I enjoyed it. Sorry for critiquing it too long after it's submitted. Cheers, and keep up the good work Applaud fella (Reactions)



Here are some errors I found. Hope it helps.

I should probably explain. Hi. I’m Samuel Panake. I travel around the universe with the Doctor, the last remaining timelord. As my colleage currently hangs out of a giant T-Rex’s mouth, I have been instructed to retrive a card that, in therory, should stop a bomb from going off.

I believe it should be 'retrieve'...

“Doctor”, I shouted,” are you sure you don’t want your Stunner?”

I think the comma after the closing quote must be put instead before the closing quote...

“The TARDIS is a universal translator. I’m not even speaking english right now.” he explained. “Why destroy you're home world?”

It should be written as 'English' instead--capitalization things. Also about 'Why destroy you're home world?', I think it should be 'your' instead of 'you're'.
“You see”, they began, “Alpha Centuri is very special. As I’m sure you’re aware after every decision is made an ulternate universe is created where the oppisote of this decsion is made. Most of the time the change is small but the effects add up, even if they do add up infinitesmally. Alpha Centuri was the original earth. The decisions here added up to us becomeing a star and now, as we blow it up, all other earths will be destoryed.”
I'm not quite sure whether the words I made bold were typos, or intentionally made to emphasize the aliens' speaking dialect... But if they were speaking through TARDIS as translators, then I think they are speaking a normal English language... (Meaning oppisote -> opposite, decsion -> decision, becomeing -> becoming and destoryed -> destroyed) Also I don't understand what 'infinitesmally' supposed to mean--was it some kind of, little by little?
“Because if this world was never around to make those decisons then none of the seperate earths would have been created”, answered the Doctor.
Again I need to know whether these are pure typos or the aliens' dialect. If these are typos, then I suppose 'decisons' -> 'decisions' and 'seperate' -> 'separate'.

“What was that!” Hissed the other.

I suppose there should be a question mark after 'that!', since this is basically a question that is hissed.

“Impressive”, said the Alien.

Again, the comma should be put before the quotation end mark.

“Also, why make something that could disarm your WMD? Makes no sense.”

What is a 'WMD'?

“Why are asking this?” Asked the Doctor.

Who is the doctor questioning to? If it's the 'I' in the story, then perhaps adding a 'you' after 'are' (making 'Why are you asking this?') would be better.
