"I could just try to avoid her time period entirely." he said, mostly to himself. "The Virgin Queen. So much for history. Although in my defense, I didn't know that she was the real queen and that the horse happened to be the…. well, it's a long story." he chuckled.
(Ugh, just got back from Choral Evensong… super tired. Although, my grandparents showed up to it, which was cool. How are you?)
Will and Nico nod, "Sounds like our life 24/7…" Nico mutters. "Crazy and trying to avoid things? You're right, death boy." Will teases. "So doctor? How are you and the master doing?" He asks cheerfully.
(Tired. We had to super clean our old house.)
(Yeah, I can understand that you'd feel really tired. We're still unpacking boxes from our move, even though we moved into our house only last year.)
"Oh, we've been doing alright." the Doctor lied. Then he spotted Alison. "Why, if it isn't our wonderful Mrs. Alison Cheney!" he said, strolling over to her. "Yes, well I’ll tell you something that should be of vital interest to you, Doctor… That you, sir, are a nitwit! But in all seriousness, Doctor, stop acting like an idiot. You're embarrassing me!" Alison giggled as he scooped her up into a hug, lifting her off the ground slightly. "Alison, we've talked about this. I am an idiot. Isn't this the most obvious fact about me?" he said. "More like you're the most naive genius in the whole of time and space. Will, Nico, hi!" she waved, ignoring the Doctor's childish behavior and walking over to them.
Will smiles and hugs Alison when she walks towards them. "It's so good to see you." He giggles. "I Nico and I have missed being with you and the doctor. How have you been?" Nico chuckles and smiles at Alison. "Yeah, it has been a while. How are you and your newly wed husband?"
"Tired, the both of us. Wedding planning is no small feat." she said. "How have you all been?"
"Busy. You would not believe how many Gods there are." Will mutters. "Both Greek and nongreek. I have to sort through all of them." Nico chuckles. "Things in the underworld have been fairly simple, just a few issues here and there."
"I'll pretend I understood that." Alison said. An older woman with incredibly pale skin and greying hair, as well as an obscene amount of makeup, was strolling towards them. "Hide me." Alison hissed. "That's Joe's mum. Lord save me from in-laws." she said, ducking out of the way, running over to some other side of the room.
Will and Nico laugh softly at this. "No need to worry about it, Alison." Nico smiles warmly, something rare for the son of Hades indeed. When she ran off the both of them laugh and go back to talking with each other.
"Hello, Jillian Latham. Have you seen where my son's wife may have run off to?" the woman asked. Her presence seemed to loom over one like a vulture, her appearance was impressive and imposing. "I need to discuss a few things with her, she keeps avoiding me." Jillian said.
Will and Nico look at the woman. "Nico Di Angelo." Will bows slightly. "Will Solace ma'am. I believe I saw her go that way." He points the opposite way Alison had ran. "You just missed her."
"Hmph. Well, enjoy the festivities." Jillian said, strolling off. Alison crawled back up from underneath the table she had taken refuge under and signed with relief. "That was close." she giggled.
Will and Nico laugh softly. "No kidding." He chuckles. Will rests against Nico with a large smile on his lips. "That was interesting."
"If it isn't Allie-shine! How are you, darling?" a person holding a camera, about in their twenties, with blond hair pulled up into a ponytail, sparkling blue eyes, and a grey pinstripe suit said, walking up to Alison. "Hi! Paris, this is Will Solace and Nico Di Angelo. Will, Nico, this is Paris Gates, my best friend, wedding photographer, and, er, Bride's Assistant of honor." Alison introduced. "Hi! Lovely to meet you both!" Paris said, extending their free hand for a handshake, as they were holding their camera in the other.
Will and Nico allow Paris to shake hands. "Pleasure to meet you." Will says brightly, his blue eyes glimmering. Nico nods politely before returning to Wills side.
"So, how did you meet? I haven't quite been introduced yet, and I'm sure I would have been if it hadn't been incredibly recently." Paris said. Alison's face grew white as a sheet, and she mouthed 'Lie to them, please guys.' quickly.
"Nico tends to travel a lot with his father. I usually join, since my mother is busy attending to a summer camp. We met her on the road and we've stayed in touch since then. We rarely visit, since we have to keep traveling." Will says cheerfully. Nico nods in agreement.
"Well that's certainly interesting. Anyways, I've stuff to do. It's nice meeting you two." Paris said, walking off. Alison gave a sigh of relief. "I forgot that most people aren't aware of alien life. Or demigods. Erm, sorry about all that." Alison said.
Will ane Nico laugh softly. "It's alright, Alison." Nico says happily. "We have to give that excuse a lot." Will explains.
"Where is the spring and the summer; That once was yours and mine?Where did it go? I just don't know; But still my love for you will live forever…" began to play over the loudspeakers. "Well, I presume that's my cue. Joe!" Alison called over to her newlywed husband. She stole a glance back at Will and Nico, winking towards them, and began to dance with Joe.
(Good evening! How are you?)
I'm very tired, lol. You?//
Will and Nico watch her go with bright smiles. "I'm so happy for her." Will mutters, kissing Nico's cheek.
(Yeah, same. Just got in an argument with my dad, he's nice and well meaning but rather unfortunately… a little homophobic. And I brought up that I liked a certain girl, and he… didn't take it very well. But I'll be fine. Hopefully.)
"Aren't you going to ask me to dance?" the Doctor said, strolling over to his best nemesis. "Oh, I thought I was incurably evil." the Master replied nonchalantly, not looking the Doctor in the eye. "But do you dance? Will you?" the Doctor pleaded. The Master raised his brows. "Sometimes I think you take going native a little too seriously, Doctor." he snarked. "I take that as a no? Well, it's never too late to learn!" the Doctor grinned.
He seized the Master by the hand and pulled him up. The Master glared, and moved stiffly, but the Doctor glared back, and with lots of determination forced the Master into participating. Once he did, it was easy to show him - the Master simply could not bear to fail at such a simple task, and all Time Lords had an ear for rhythms. It came with the territory; in a way, music was just another way to keep the time. While the music grew wilder and faster, the Master danced with a single-minded frown, letting the Doctor guide him across the dance floor, but towards the end of the song, as the music became softer and slower, he reversed their positions, drawing the Doctor close and taking the lead.
Alison watched the two from her seat, she had tripped and twisted her ankle during the quote frankly wild, energetic tango she had gotten herself into. She looked over to Will and Nico, nodding to them that they could take the floor, and leaned back into her husband's lap, laughing with joy at the euphoria and excitement of the event.
Will bows to Nico. "My prince, will you join me for this dance?" He asks, pressing a kiss to his hand. Nico smiles and nods. "Please~" Will leads him on to the dance floor.
I understand that, my dad was really homophobic until I came out, lol.//
(Hmm. I came out and he's still homophobic, but I guess some people's minds aren't easy to change. It doesn't mattet, at least my mom's cool with it.)
After a few minutes, Alison's ankle had recovered, and she and Joe began to dance again. This time, the Doctor sat out, with the Master standing in his own corner away from his partner. Though they were only a few feet away, their expressions made them seem galaxies apart. "Hello, and who might you be?" the woman from earlier, Jillian, asked the Master. "I saw you walking my daughter in law down the aisle." she said critically. "Ah, you must be the delightful Mrs. Latham I've heard so much about! Allow me to introduce myself, I am Professor Zeno Wolfgang LeMaitre." the Master lied. "I was the delightful Mrs. Cheney's Latin teacher. I believe we must have met at some point." he said firmly. Mrs. Latham's eyes glazed over, and then she snapped out of the trance. "Ah, Professor, yes! I'm so sorry, I'm incredibly flustered today!" Jillian stuttered. "Ah, if you will excuse me, I believe my colleague wishes to speak with me." he said, noticing the Doctor's warning glance. He got up out of his seat, and then followed the Doctor outside.
Alison noticed the Doctor leaving just as the last song came to an end. She ran out after him, hiding behind the bushes when she saw the heated argument.
"I said no hypnotism!" the Doctor shouted, hands in the air. "My dear, there is a difference between hypnotism and suggestion. You're making a fool of yourself." the Master replied. "Well I don't know, Professor. You tell me." the Doctor snapped. "Well, given that Mrs. Cheney and Mr. Latham happen to be watching us, I suggest we cease this discussion and leave it to a later hour." the Master replied. "Alison, come on out, you're embarrassing yourself. You too, Joe." the Doctor said wearily. "Sorry." Alison said, stepping out behind the bush, Joe following. "But really. Where are you two heading off to? We haven't even had a snog in the shrubbery yet, and you go swanning off to the TARDIS without me!" Alison snapped. "Well, I'm sorry. Go snog then." the Doctor said sarcastically, leaning against the TARDIS casually. "Oh heck no." she said, pushing open the doors and walking inside. Joe cautiously followed, and was awed by the sight. "But-what the-it's huge on the interior!" he gasped. "Oh, just say it's bigger on the inside. It's like you people try to jazz it up." the Doctor said, walking inside the TARDIS, and the Master following. "So is this goodbye then?" Alison asked. "Well, I don't know. Joe?" the Doctor said. "Yeah, definitely goodbye." Joe said. "Well, let's wait for Will and Nico. Don't want to leave them behind!" the Doctor said cheerfully, spinning around the console room. "Doctor, how much have you had to drink?" Alison said. "Oh, I don't know, nine glasses of champagne? But never mind that, we've got places to see!" he said. Alison chuckled at his ridiculousness, and waited for Will and Nico to arrive. All of time and space, and she could see it all. Joe was still in shock, barely registering the conversation. It was bigger on the inside. That little blue box broke all laws of physics known to man.
