Chapter 5 by Eugene_Oregon Eugene_Oregon

Where is Ruby?

Ruby is with the Doctor

Ruby lowered her hands as the blinding flash of light faded. What on Earth was that?

When her eyes had adjusted, she looked around and with relief saw that she was still in the TARDIS. At least, she thought it was the TARDIS. The central column was there, so were the doors, and the round things on the wall...but the design and colours were all different. What was going on?

"Doctor?" she called out, hugging herself as she began to shiver.

The blonde girl realised a number of things simultaneously. While she could move her torso, the TARDIS still had her feet glued to the floor...feet which felt like they were touching the cold floor, not the inside of her shoes. Instead of touching the sleeves of her t-shirt, her hands were in direct contact with her biceps. One worried glance downwards told her why.

"Ahh!"

She was naked!

Ruby couldn't feel her shoes because they had vanished! So had her socks, jeans, panties, t-shirt, and bra! The TARDIS must have moved, taking everything but herself with it...ONLY herself!

Ruby did her best to cover herself with her arms, but was frustrated and worried that she was unable to move from her spot. She needed to hide!

"Grandfather, who is that?"

Ruby tensed up at the young, female voice.

"A very good question, Susan. Who are you, and how did you get into my TARDIS?"

And old man moved around into her field of vision, eyeing her with suspicion. Ruby was glad that he wasn't checking her out like a pervert...but he wasn't offering her any clothes, either.

"Y-your TARDIS? Doctor, is that you?"

"Of course it is me! How do you know who I am?"

"I...I...I don't understand..."

Ruby was struggling not to lose her head. How had she ended up starkers in a TARDIS that wasn't her TARDIS, with a Doctor who wasn't yet Doctor?!

"Maybe it's one of those timey wimey things, grandfather!"

"I really wish you wouldn't use that phrase! Bet perhaps you're right. Girl, where you inside the TARDIS before you appeared here?"

"Yes. You had me standing here, scanning me, and then took off with all of my clothes!"

"I believe I know what happened. The TARDIS is sending you back through her time stream. I suspect this won't be the last time we meet."

"But...but...how are you-"

"Enough questions, dear, it appears that you are going now."

Ruby could feel the room fading. She still had so many questions, but only had time to blurt one out.

"Wait, please can I have some-"

What's next?
