Lily Crash stood in line for yet another concert on a Friday night. She went to one every week. This week she was going to see the Drunk Dinosaurs. She didn't quite like the music, but it was better than staying home on a Friday night, enduring her mother's endless nagging.

It was September 3rd, 2140 and just like any other Friday waiting in line, she got the worst spot. She was surrounded by hormonal teenaged boys who insisted on hitting on her at every possible moment. She hoped someone would save her from this misery, and what seemed like a miracle, someone did. A tall man with ginger hair who looked no more than twenty-three came to her rescue, as if he had read her mind and heard her pleas. He introduced himself as John Smith and they continued talking until they finally made it into the concert hall. They ended up being seated right next to each other and had a marvelous time. After the concert was over they said their goodbyes and Lilt thought she would never see John Smith again.

She was on her way home when she noticed a mysterious man, one she recognized from the line earlier on in the evening that had hit on her, was following her home. She tried to get to a crowded place, but not many places are crowded at two in the morning. She quickly turned a corner and stumbled upon a blue police phone box. It was old, almost ancient, but she decided to try to call for help.

The man gained speed to catch up with Lily and caught her from behind. He threw an arm around her small waist and picked her up. She clinged onto the phone box with all her might and kicked her legs out behind her. She hit the man but that only aggravated him more. He was charging towards her when he stopped dead in his tracks. He dropped to the ground. Behind his unconscious body was John Smith, a tree branch in his hand.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine… Thank you, you saved my life."

"Kind of my job, saving people," he said as he shrugged and walked towards the phone box. He took a key out of his pocket and unlocked it.

"Why're you unlocking a dusty, old phone box?"

"Why don't you take a look?"

Lily stepped through the doors and gasped. "It's bigger on the inside!" she exclaimed as she turned to face John.

"Really? I hadn't noticed," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Sarcastic are we?"

"We are."

"Well I'm sor-ry if I don't see this kinda thing every day."

"Do you want to?"

She considered him for a while before saying, "What do you mean?"

"Do you want to travel with me? See the stars and all that. I can promise you aliens and adventure," he replied, his grey eyes twinkling.

"I'd love to. But first I'll have to, y'know, stop by at home, pick up a few things, and warn the parents and all that."

"I'll be here."

She sprinted home, quickly packed a couple bags full of clothes, shoes, her camera and notebooks. She wrote a quick note to her Mum and Dad and a separate one to her brother, telling him he'd hear about all the fabulous things she was going to do. She ran back to where John Smith was and went through the doors of the phone box.

"Okay, I've got a few ground rules for you. Rule one; no wandering off. No matter what, just don't. Rule two; No interfering…" They continued on with these rules, making sure Lily knew exactly what was in store for her. He told her his real name; The Doctor, what he was; a Timelord, what they were traveling in; a TARDIS. She asked a lot of questions and got more and more excited after the answers.

"So where to first?" he asked her.

"I read about this new planet they discovered, Ellipsis I believe it was called, why not start there?"

"Excellent choice."

AN: So, tell me what you think. Any critisism is good critisism
