The Tardis

“i know you’re tired, i know” he said helping her now. he gripped her, bringing her inside her place. “let’s get you to the couch.” he said moving her along and sitting her down. “you can’t sleep, that’s how you slip into comas, i know you’re the tardis but, right now you’re human too.”

The Doctor took her face in his hands, turning her head from side to side. “You didn’t kick anyone out again did you?” That always had bugged him, back in that little bubble universe. People just didn’t have fresh human bodies lying around, which meant that something had to be ejected for the Tardis to go in. “Nothing? Not even a cough or two of the time energy popping out?” It was all very strange to him. First, the Angels threw Amy here, then he saw Jenny of all life forms in the universe, and now his Tardis was not a box. Again. He didn’t know if he could get over that last bit. 

“People who don’t know how to kiss,” she shrugged. “So basically you’re looking for another doctor to steal you”

Oh she loved stories and people who had so many adventures surely did bring out the curiosity within her, and someone who have actually been amongst the stars? She was so fascinating, and for once someone returned that. No one had ever been fascinated in her because to most people back home she was nothing more than a Lady climbing the ladder to ultimate power. She was so much more underneath all of that beauty. She chuckled holding onto her hand and walking over to the door. Seeing that it was raining outside she bit down on her lower lip, but she didn’t even care. “Yeah we can easily dry off later.” She turned to look at her, eyes sparkling with excitement. “More than ready to have some fun!” She laughed and was the first to jump out of the front door and into the rain.

Tar was still only wearing this night gown thanks to her own clothes still being busy drying off inside. But, just like Marg, she didn't care right now. The rain felt softer on her skin than before, small raindrops making her dress soaking wet in moments, the thin fabric hugging her body even closer now and hiding almost nothing anymore.

Margaery couldn’t stop smiling. She hadn’t felt like this before, and she honestly could not explain what sort of feeling it was. All she knew was that she loved the feeling. She felt so happy and free to be who she wanted to be. Would her grandmother have allowed this? No, she wouldn’t have. Though, Margaery wouldn’t have cared because the moment she reached out for Tar, it would only ever be her. She however still loved her grandmother with all her heart, as she knew she was just doing what she thought was best for Margaery. “Indeed that is true. We should also keep our gaze to the stars, not to our feet, out there are so many wonderful mysteries, and well… you have never tried it… I’ve never tried it so…” she smirked softly. “Why don’t we experience it together? Then we will both have to come back to dry off.” she chuckled softly, raising her fingertips to gently run across the skin of her jaw.

“I could also tell you some stories, if you want.” Because Tardis knew a lot of stories. Centuries and centureis of traveling, and, even if it felt like her mind would exploded sometimes with everything it was holding, she didn’t wanted to lose anything she did remember, either. “From places and things you maybe haven’t even been dreaming of yet.”

Margaery listened to her voice, she could hear the emotion in her words, and she smiled softly, her hand coming up to caress the softness of her cheek. She was so perfect to her, more beautiful than any other woman she had ever seen in her life, and she was so very kind. It was what she liked in a person. Tardis is what she imagined and wanted in someone. She remembered saying to herself when she lived in Kings Landing that if she would ever choose someone to be with it would be someone with a beautiful soul as well as outer beauty. Tardis was all of this. Her words touched her like no other, and a soft laugh escaped her lips, but tears formed in her eyes. Tears of happiness of course. Someone cared for her, and not just because of her title. Here Margaery could be just Margaery. Lips pressed back up against hers when she felt the softness of the others lips, and she wrapped both of her arms around her waist, gently pulling her closer to her, letting her lips linger. “Maybe one day we will do that, but I am happy enough to be here with you and watch the stars from here.” her lips were brushing against hers, barely pulled away from her. “You are amazing, Tar.”

After for living so many centuries already - or, sort of living, seeing she had been a space ship before - this was the first time Tardis felt strongly connected to someone. Before, it had always only been the Doctor. And that had been a purely platonic sort of connection. But Margaery had managed to spark something up inside her, and now she was determined to savour this feeling as long as it would be possible.

Margaery watched her carefully, and she could tell that she was nervous, but she couldn’t quite understand what there was to be nervous about. Was it really that bad that she was afraid of telling her? She promised though, and a promise was a promise, because deep down she knew that Tar would never do anything bad, so she was pretty confident with it all. Tar was beautiful both inside and out, and she would always find herself reminding her of that. She looked down to see her hands taking into the other’s, and she felt a warmth in her stomach which she loved the feeling of. Gods it was a strange feeling– something so unfamiliar to her until now. So she listened to her. It was shocking that was for certain, and it was a lot to take in, but at the end of the day she was still Tar. For a few moments she remained quiet, but she finally tilted her head, smiling at her sweetly, before slowly dipping her head in to press a single, sweet kiss to her lips before pulling away a little bit. “I am sure in both forms you are beautiful.” she whispered softly. “but its okay, i think it makes you all the more extraordinary.” she smiled, eyes still locked with her.

Those few moments of silence felt like the worst Tardis ever had to go through. And Tardis and the Doctor had been through a lot already. But the idea of Marg maybe telling her now to leave her place again...it was almost too much to even imagine it. Maybe she was over-reacting, sure. But Tardis still could not ignore the stinging feeling in her heart thinking about all the possibilities in this very moment.

Her heart was beating even faster still, to the point she just couldn’t control her breathing, thankfully she was able to breath pretty silently. She hadn’t felt this before, which shocked her, whatever she was feeling was something she hadn’t ever felt in her whole life. What was it? A smile crossed her lips again, and she felt her thumb run across her palm before moving to sit beside of her. She felt the need to be close to her, and yet they barely knew each other, but it was odd because she felt as though they’ve known each other for such a long time. She was so perfect. “How could I deny a kiss from such an amazing woman?” she couldn’t control what she was saying, so a gently blush crossed her cheeks followed by a sweet smile. “No matter who you was before you came here I wont ever judge you for it.” She reassured. “But if you feel the need to tell me now then you can so, and you have my word that I will never, ever judge you.” She locked eyes with her.

Never before Tardis had been worried that someone could reject her. Sure, the whole space ship to human story was pretty hard to believe in general. But usually, she would have just shrugged it off before moving on. You could never please everyone, after all.... but with Margaery. With Margaery her feelings went deeper. Deep enough to leave Tar hurt, would she been rejected this time.

Perhaps the universe always made it out to be like that, but to her everyone should be equal. Why should the female gender be beneath them? She was just glad that it didn’t seem that way here, maybe in foreseeable futures it wont be like that anywhere. All genders should be equal no matter what. It did frustrate her, because it took her to nearly marrying an abusive king to climbing the ladder to power. She always remembered Cersei’s words. The only woman’s weapon is the one between her legs. No, it shouldn’t have to be like that. However, the thoughts began to drift from her mind as her eyes locked with Tar’s, and a sweet smile crept up on her lips as she put her tea cup down. A gentle rose colour appeared on her cheeks as she brushed the strands of hair out of her face and complimented on her beauty. “But I have nothing compared to the beauty that you hold, Tar.” Her voice was merely a husky, sweet whisper now, as she in turn tucked a loose strand of hair back behind her ear, eyes still however locked onto hers.

Tar’s thoughts were slowly drifting off to entirely other things. How she wanted to kiss Margaery. And how she felt she needed to tell her about her... other form first. Because it only seemed to be fair. She had given a promise not to lie. And she was determined to keep it. Jenny had told her people would judge, should they find out the truth. But people would always judge. That was another thing you could find in all parts of the universe. No matter which race you decided to visit. Some of them would always judge.

Margaery felt a soft smile cross her features and she looked down to see Tardis taking her hand, and strangely her heart started beating a little faster than it usually did, but it was a nice feeling that was for certain. Finally her smile grew and she rose her free hand to gently rest it upon hers, eyes flickering to lock with hers. “I think its why I never really found myself liking anyone back in Westeros.” She admitted with a soft laugh. “Women are strong, we have all been through so much since the beginning of time.”just like the first story where Lilith was cast out of the sacred garden because she would not submit to Adam, and of course he then carved Eve out of his Rib and she ended up beneath him.” she sighed. “Perhaps thats why I always liked women more. Though I know here everyone appears to be equal, and i like that, a lot.” her voice was softer now as she looked up to lock eyes with Tar, her smile disappearing a little bit as her heart started beating a little faster. “I don’t regret being here because I’ve met you. You are an extraordinary woman.”

Tardis nodded quietly when Marg was talking, though, there was a small smile showing u on her lips as well. “What they do is wrong, but maybe we can not even blame them? Like, it seems since the beginning of history, men have ben taught that they are the leaders. And I am pretty sure it is hard to break with such pattern,s even in modern days like this.” Even in Gallifrey, it had been mostly men who had been taking the lead. It was really a thing you could find everywhere in the universe, no matter where you would look.

Margaery loved the adventure, and knowing that Tardis saw the universe stunned her and she herself was in complete awe. Oh she was an extraordinary woman that was for sure, and she couldn’t wait to get to know her a little more, she already liked her a hell of a lot and that was simply just by these pleasant conversations. There was something about her that she just couldn’t quite put her finger on. She was special, and she had a feeling she was going to be special to her as well. “that is amazing Tardis, truly!” She beamed. “Oh well…” She went quiet for a moment. “I was Lady Tyrell back where I am from, and my grandmother wanted me to marry this king, whether i liked him or not she wanted me to be Queen of Westeros…” she smiled. “The King was horrible. He treated women like they were nothing. He had them beaten and… worse… tortured…” she smiled weakly. “I was going to do it for my grandmother…” she chuckled. “then he got poisoned and he died… so my grandmother wanted me to marry his brother… and that is all I remember. I am actually really glad I am here. I feel free here. I do miss my grandmother though…”

Even when Tardis already had experienced similar things like this happening in other worlds, it was still horrible to hear it. Such things were never fair in her eyes, no matter in which universe. or for what reason. “I am sorry...” She reached over without hesitation. Squeezing Margaery’s hand slightly. “The kings here on Earth have done the same in the past. No matter where you look, women always had to fight so they would be treated in similar fair ways. And that only because they were women.”

“So, since we two have not been talking for a while - a little bird has told me you and the Doctor would be a couple again. And now I was wondering if that little bird was right, maybe?”

“Both, I suppose,” they frowned, thinking about how terrified they would be in her shoes. Mortality was frightening on its own. Let alone for her. “I suppose that is all anyone could ask of you,” Jehan smiled softly.

“Yeah, feel like there is a hell of a lot of people probably doing very similar things. This island is…weird.” He said with a dry laugh. He smiled a little. “In that case I’ll be right back. My treat.” He said with a little nod as he wandered off for a few moments before returning with two mugs.

Wow. Tardis barely knew her and yet she had promised to not lie to her. She couldn’t think of anyone else who had ever been so nice to her, except her grandmother of course Back at home many people envied her because of whom she was, and of her beauty. There was one person in kings landing that she considered a friend and that was Sansa. Tardis was different know, it was a different sort of friendship, perhaps something purer than what her and sansa’s was based on. She listened to her tales with this companion of hers, and she thought it fasinating, but she also didn’t think Tardis lied about it one bit, after all she had promised her. “the universe? oh wow…” she breathed. “that must be extraordinary as well.” she smiled weakly. “I know what its like to feel alone, even if you have a companion at your side…” she spoke softly. “I hope you don’t feel so alone here on this island.” she offered in a soft voice.

“I have told you it would be mind-blowing...” A small chuckle left Tar’s lips at this reaction, she simply couldn’t help it. And there she hadn’t even been telling the part about herself being a blue police box. But maybe that was something for later? She was not sure. Tardis trusted Marg, but she also knew some things just could be too much.
