Virginia is NOT Amused
Title: Nero and Idan's Adventure with the Doctor Book 1
Author: TheFlyingSeal
Fandom: Doctor Who/10th Kingdom
And here I was, all excited to see a crossover with these two fandoms.
Chapter 1: We need to talk.
Why hello there, my name is Nero Wolfson. You can tell a lot about a character from their name and how much thought went into them. This does not speak well of you. Son of Virgina and Warren Wolfson. Just the one? It was established at the end of the 10th Kingdom that they were going to be having a 'litter'. Though my mother calls my father 'Wolf'. He dosen't mind. Maybe because he and everyone else calls him that too? Gosh, I still remember about that story when they met! Conveniently not included here, otherwise the parents would distract by being more interesting than their so called spawn. Mustn't have that happening! It was like a fairy tale...but real. But i'm not here to tell about that story. I'm here to tell you about my story. ME ME ME. Aren't you dying to hear this instead of about actual canon characters?? No, it's NOT romance. Most likely because you're only 10 or 11. At least that's what it sounds like from this one paragraph. What it is about though, is adventure and excitment through time and space with my best friend, Idan Tyler. And ...and?
This is the story about my adventures with The Doctor. Parents who?
"You have to kick it harder than that, Nero!" my best friend, Idan, called to me.
I growled in my throat silently and kick the soccerball, or football, harder. It's really not that hard to differentiate, you're American. No need to toss in the UK term randomly. It passed Idan and into the goal. "Yes! I did it!" I yelped excitedly.
"Good going there, mate!" He laughed
Now don't think 'mate' as a form of marriage, PLEASE. And now time to insult the reader's intelligence. Oh yes, anyone who is a fan of DW would NEVER understand what that means. Oh no, that'd require an average IQ. That will be gross. Homophobic comment time! Your age is showing. 'Mate' is a word for 'friend' in proper english. And yet, English is not capitalized. You're schooling others on proper English? I kinda forgot to mention that Idan was British. Is that important at the moment? Acting like it's some revelation, not like you mentioned you were American, just had everyone assume as if it was the default. Not only that, he was helping me improve in my play of soccer for the soccer tryouts. I'm honestly more concerned about the lack of setting than that you like to play soccer. Though Idan is not on a team anymore, he loves playing soccer with me and my other friends. In the summer and winter, he come to visit New York. Why. Or I come and visit him in London. Either way is perfectly fine. Anyway, back to the story. No really, why? Why exactly are you two going back and forth across the pond twice a year for two seasons? It can't possibly be just to visit each other. What about school? What about expenses? This does not compute.
"Idan! There's a call for you! Your mother want's you home!" My mother called from the screen door.
"Thank you! Tell her said im coming right away- bye Nero, see you in the Winter." That's just stupid. It's as if they live a few blocks away. Idan said, picking up the soccer ball and his backpack. Just a backpack...
It was his last day here in New York. After dinner in the hotel his mother and him are staying in, he leaves. Why is Rose here? I'm still boggling over that. It just seems so silly, as if everyone is stopping what they're doing so two kids can screw around - NO GAY OMG NO GAY - and play a game while they monologue about themselves. It was usally a sad day when we were younger, but now we're fine about it. It's called the fucking INTERNET. Seriously, get a camera. At least we still got to see each other again. Because their parents are just convenient like that and don't have lives and bills to pay. But though, I felt strange this time. Don't worry, that's perfectly natural and you'll get used to it. It was earlier then usuall. What was Idan hiding? Bella Logic right there. If someone leaves a little earlier because their mom told them to, they're hiding something. Then I struck an idea. In Soviet Russia, you strike idea!
"Mom, can you ask Mrs. Tyler if Idan and I can have a sleep over?" I called. ...
My mother looked strange at me. "Nero, you're only already/almost/practically 16. He sure doesn't sound like it. Shouldn't that be too old for you?" And are they not leaving today?
"Not at all." I confirmed hyperly. You know, about the whole 'mate' thing. I think the lad doth protest too much.
My mother Not Virginia, because then that'd recognize her as a canon character! The horror! She must be a plot device! raised a brow and mumbled into the phone to converse with Idan's mom. Then she nodded and turned off the phone to end the call. And still no sign of setting.
"She said thats fine!" My mother replied. Awfully excited about that, isn't she? Is there something the mommas ain't telling their sons? And husbands?
Idan and I got excited and ran into my room. I have no words, this snarks itself. Though I couldn't help that Idan felt a little dissapointed. lol, couldn't wait to get the fuck out of there. Why was he so happy going back to London? Perhaps because it's his home? Just a thought. I had to ask him. But first, we did what we always did first thing in a sleep over. Braid each others hair and gossip about sci fi shows with cute actors, all the while giggling over our 'learnings' about British slang and how worldly we were. Talk about the man that made Idan get inspired to be an archaeologist. Okay. That's not what I'd imagine most people doing, that's what Peter Pan and Wendy like to do.The Doctor. The famous Time lord How does Time Lord == archaeologist? Wouldn't it make more sense to be inspired to be an Astronaut? that travels through Time and Space stopping evil with his compainions. Though of course he is a fairy tale. Was I supposed to doubt this? Way to kill your Red Herring dead. Once Idan finished me talling the story of the Elemental Shades, which creeped the hair out of me, I asked him the question.
"Why do you have to leave so early?" I WISH I COULD QUIT YOU.
Idan looked troubled. There was that look again. The look of revealing. as he pulled his face off. A blind man could see it! That's some creepy revealing then. So he was keeping something from me! How dare he! That slutty bitch! I saw his hand go through his messy blonde hair. Thats when he is to troubled to say anything. Not that uncommon a gesture.
"Nero, you know I can't lie to you. I just can't. But I promised not to say." Idan pleaded with me and himself.
I could tell he wanted to talk to me about what was going on. Aren't you intuitive!? It's not like he just said that. But Idan was good at keeping secrets...sortta. Would he even need to be? Not if his clingy best friend is always sniffing around in suspicion over the most trivial shit. He gives hints through facial expressions and body gestures. SOmetimes he also loudens his voice about the subject of the secret. But he was trying hard not to do those gestures. He may just need help, so put down the camera and get him to a hospital.
I heard a knocking at the door and twisted my head like some demented barbie doll to say, "Come in."
My door opened to reveal a blonde haired woman with rosey cheecks and brown eyes. It was Rose Tyler. Idan's mother. What a horror story that'd be. Rose and the Doctor together and having babies. Would a Gallifreyan and Human even be able to cross species? I doubt they're close enough in DNA for that to be possible. And with the sue that Rose is and the pod person the Doctor would be, the only possible outcome would be a GallifreyanTime Lord/ninja offspring that moans about shit like school and not being understood.
