r_scribblesSapphire was too much fun to keep just to the Realm. It gets weirder as Sapphire goes all Press Gang on us...
Everybodys heads turned in amazement as Sapphire walked into the Junior Gazette’s office.
‘Hey,’ said Spike, ‘isn’t that the girl who was in that car crash?’
‘Yes,’ said Lynda, ‘she’s got amnesia but she was writing poetry when I interviewed her, it was so beautiful I just knew she had to work here. I think she’ll be a really good reporter.’
‘Wow, said Kenny, ‘she’s so pretty.’
Everyone agreed with him, even the other girls except for Sam who just huffed jealously.
‘So whats her name?’ asked Sarah.
Sapphire heard them talkingf and went over to them, hoping to make friends with them. ‘My name’s Sapphire. Sapphire Shakespeare.’
‘Ha ha’ said Spike, ‘any relation to William Shakespeare?’
‘Yes actually’ said Sapphire ‘he’s… um, he’s my ansestor.’
‘Cool’ said Lynda, ‘I reaaly like Shakespeare. Not many people understand it but I do. Let’s be best friends.’
‘I’d love that,’ replied Sapphire, shyly.
Sapphire sat down at her desk and started to type, thinking about how different a typewriter was to a quill and parchment! She got the hang of it instantly though.
Colin came in to the office. He was late because he had been out selling pings. As much as he loved selling things he still felt really hollow, because nobody understood him. As soon as he saw Sapphire at her desk he realised what had been missing from his life all that time, but he was too shy to go to her and say hello. Sapphire felt that somebody was watching her and surrepticiosly glanced back. She felt herself warming to the boy instantly, almost as if she’d been very close to somebody a lot like him in the past… she wished she could remember.
‘Damn this amnesia!’ she told herself.
‘Hey, great story, Sapphire,’ said Lynda at the end of the day, ‘we’re putting it on the front page of the next edition.’
‘Really?’ Sapphire blushed the same cerise pink as her top.
‘Yes, you’re really fantastic,’ said Kenny. ‘In fact, I don’t usually do this sort of thing, but will you go out with me?’
‘Oh Kenny,’ sighed Sapphire, ‘I really like you, but…’
‘That’s OK’ said Kenny, ‘it was a long shot I’m probably too boring for your liking.’
‘Its not that,’ said Sapphire with a smile, ‘I wouldn’t want to upset Sam. She really likes you, you know.’
‘Really?’ Kenny was amazed. ‘Sam likes me?’
‘of course she does, silly,’ replied Lynda, ‘we thought you knew.’
‘No I didn’t’ said Kenny ‘Wow Sapphire thank you so much!’
With that, Kenny ran after Sam.
‘You’re a regular little cupid aren’t you?’ laughed Lynda, and then suddenly became sad. ‘I wish you could do the same for me.’
‘You and Spike have been fighting a lot, haven’t you?’ asked Sapphire, who had noticed their arguing after only one day.
‘We’re probably a lot cause’ sighed Lynda.
‘Nonsense,’ said Sapphire.
‘Maybe if I was pretty like you,’ said Lynda.
‘You are pretty, Lynda!’ exclaimed Sapphire. ‘Come back with me and I’ll show you how pretty you are.’
An hour later, Lynda was at Sapphire’s flat and Sapphire was busy giving Lynda a whole new look. Sarah had heared what was going on and had come around too. With her expertise in styling and fashion Sapphire had worked miracles with both girls.
‘Wow,’ said Lynda, playing with her new smooth locks in the mirror, ‘you’re right Sapphire, I feel like a whole new girl!’
‘Why don’t you go and see what Spike thinks?’ asked sapphire with a sly smile.
‘Thanks Sapphire, I will,’ replied Lynda and off she skipped happily.
‘What do you think, Sarah?’
Sarah turned from looking at her pretty new self in amazement and gave Sapphire a shy smile. ‘I suppose you could say I feel like a whole new girl too… you!’
Sapphire read her mind and realised what she meant.
‘Sarah!’ she exclaimed, ‘I didn’t know you were a lesbian!’
‘I suppose I’ve been in denial,’ said sarah, ‘but you’ve made me see my real self today.’
Sapphire sighed. How she wished people would stop falling in love with her! She did nothing to encourage them and she hated their disappointment when she had to turn them down. Again, she felt the pang for a forgotten lost love that she had felt earlier that day, and recalled the boy who had given her a feeling of familiarity. Why hadn’t he even said hello? She had to get some air.
‘I’m… I’m sorry, Sarah,’ said Sapphire, ‘you have to be true to yourself but so must I. I have to go.’
‘No Sapphire!’ Sarah started to cry. ‘don’t go!’
But Sapphire had already left.
Sapphire walked the streets, thinking and trying to remember her past. She wished she could time travel away to somewhere less painful but her magic powers were still very weak. Besides, she would never be able to escape her own body, and that was the most painful place of all. A boy in a wheelchair nearly rolled into her.
‘Hey, watch where you’re going!’ he said.
‘Sorry,’ replied Sapphire and berated herself for feeling so sorry for herself. At least she wasn’t in a wheelchair!
‘Hey I know you,’ said the boy in the wheelchair, ‘you’re the new girl at the paper. I work there too. And we’ve got something else in common – you were hit by a car and I was hit by a bus. At least you’re still on your own two feet. The doctors said I’d never walk again.’
‘The doctors said I’d never walk again either,’ said Sapphire truthfully, ‘but here I am. You just have to believe in yourself, Billy.’
‘Yeah right’ said Billy but little did he know that Sapphire felt so bad for him that she gave almost all the weak powers she still had left to him. Suddenly Billy began to get feeling in his arms and legs.
‘Wha… what’s going on?’ he asked.
‘Believe in yourself!’ said Sapphire. ‘Believe that you can walk!’
Shakily, Billy stood up out of his wheelchair. ‘This… this is amazing!’ exclaimed Billy, ‘I’ve got to go and tell my Dad!’
Billy ran off, leaving Sapphire alone again. Or so she thought…
‘How did you do that?’ said a voice from the shadows.
‘Who… who’s there?’
The same boy who had been watching her that day stepped out of the shadows, sheepishly.
‘Have you been following me?’ asked Sapphire, amazed.
‘Maybe a little bit,’ admitted the boy. ‘You must think that’s really creepy.’
She squinted at him. There really was something about him – abut how lonely he made himself, and the defenses he put up, and the way he looked at her, that made her want to remember something.
‘Not creepy,’ said Sapphire, ‘just quite sad. You don’t really understand people, do you, Colin? That’s why you act the way you do.’
‘How… how did you know?’ asked Colin, ‘and how did you know my name?’
Sapphire didn’t answer, but kissed him.

Sapphire was woken up first thing in the morning by her phone ringing. It was Lynda.
‘Sapphire, I thought you should be the first to know – me and Spike are getting married. He proposed last night.’
‘Lynda that’s fantastic!’
‘I want you to be my Maid of Honour,’ continued Lynda. ‘It’s down to you that this has happened… besides, I’m going to need somebody to pick out my Wedding dress for me.’
Both girls laughed.
‘Kenny and Sam went out on a date last night,’ added Lynda, ‘and apparently Sarah met somebody at a nightclub… some guy called Ronnie…’
‘Probably short for Veronica,’ said Sapphire under her breath.
‘I only wish you could find the right person,’ said Lynda.
‘You never know,’ giggled Sapphire, tousling the hair of the boy next to her in bed as she hung up.
‘I understand if you want to keep this a secret,’ said Colin.
‘I don’t if you don’t,’ replied Sapphire. ‘I’m not ashamed of you. If anything, you should be ashamed of me.’
‘I know about the miscarriage,’ said Colin, ‘it’s OK. I understand there was someone before me.’
‘Yes,’ sighed Sapphire, ‘if only I could remember who he was…’
Sapphire started to cry. Colin hugged her.
‘Don’t worry,’ he said, ‘I love you.’
-x-
Sapphire was walking to work when she saw a great crowd of people, they all seemed to be running away. She tried to stop some of them to ask them what was going on, but they all kept running in terror. Her reporter’s instinct kicked in – whatever was going on, it was big, and she was going to make sure her first hand account of it was in the Junior Gazette! Bravely she ran in the opposite direction to the crowd – towards whatever they were running from. When she got there her friends from the Junior Gazette were already there, staring up at the sight in horror. She looked herself and gasped! A terrible demon hung in the air above the high street, in a long black gown and stiiting astride a huge black horse. Terrible memories came flooding back to her.
‘Venger! What are you doing here?’
Venger laughed evilly. ‘I have followed you, Sapphire. I warned you that I would never leave you be!’
‘Sapphire,’ gasped Lynda, ‘this thing knows you!’
‘Yes… I remember now…’ Sapphire began to weep.
‘That isn’t…’ stammered Colin, terrified, ‘Tell me that isn’t your last boyfriend!’
‘Venger’s the father of the baby I lost,’ whispered Sapphire, ‘but I was raped.’
‘I will not lose my heir,’ announced Venger, ‘I have cast a spell that has brought the baby back to life in your womb.’
‘No, please no…’ gasped Sapphire, clutching her belly.
‘It’ll be all right,’ said Colin, taking her hand.
Venger laughed, scornfully. ‘You have found another silly little mortal to fall in love with you, I see. So much like the last one. How pathetic.’
‘Last one?’ said Colin, ‘I don’t understand. Sapphire, what is that thing? Where has it come from?’
‘Yes, Sapphire,’ sneered Venger, ‘go on, tell them. Do they think you are an ordinary human like them? Tell them of your past. Tell them of your powers!’
‘But I don’t remember!’ cried Sapphire.
‘Then I shall destroy them all!’ said Venger holding aloft a ball of evil magic.
‘No!’ screamed Sapphire, leaping in front of her friends, her bright blue eyes ablaze. ‘Let them be!’
‘What can you do?’ laughed Venger, ‘You gave all your magic to making that boy walk last night, you have no power left!’
‘I’m not afraid,’ said sapphire. She winced, waiting for Venger’s fatal blow.
All of a sudden though there was a very strange sound on the high street.
‘What…?’ everybody turned in the direction of the noise as an old fashioned police box materialised out of nowhere. The door opened and out leaped a man in a pinstripe suit.
‘Sapphire! Duck!’ yelled the man and pointed a strange little contraption at Venger. Bright energy flooded out of it and zapped Venger.
‘Noooo!’ cried Venger and disappeared.
‘You… you’ve killed him’ gasped Lynda to the strange man.
‘No’ said the man, ‘just sent him back to where he belongs.’
‘So where have you come from?’ asked Spike, ‘and how do you know Sapphire’s name?’
‘I… remember now,’ stammered Sapphire, ‘the reason why I can travel through time.’
‘You can travel through what, now?’ asked the boy at her side.
‘So you remember being my companion all those years ago?’ asked the man.
‘I do… Doctor,’ replied Sapphire. ‘You looked different then.’
‘You haven’t changed though,’ grinned the Doctor. ‘I wonder whether there’s anybody else you remember?’
‘What do you mean?’
‘I brought you a present,’ said the Doctor.
‘Sapphire!’
Sapphire gasped. There he was, at the door of the TARDIS, still in his shining armour and crimson cape – her first love. She wanted to run to him but then remembered the boy who was still holding her hand. There was an awkward pause as both dark eyed young men regarded each other jealously.
‘Who’s that?’ they both chorused.
‘Oh no,’ cried Sapphire, ‘I’m feeling so conflicted!’
Everybodys heads turned in amazement as Sapphire walked into the Junior Gazette’s office.
‘Hey,’ said Spike, ‘isn’t that the girl who was in that car crash?’
‘Yes,’ said Lynda, ‘she’s got amnesia but she was writing poetry when I interviewed her, it was so beautiful I just knew she had to work here. I think she’ll be a really good reporter.’
