Time and space, the vastness of it all, containing things that we would never expect and never could of imagined without some kind of contact to it. I look up into that sky often, imagining the possibilities and infinite planets and perhaps even species. My name is Matthew Harris and I am what is known as a 'Whovian'. Whovians are basically a group of people that have an entirely healthy obsession with the cult T.V show 'Doctor Who'. I pride myself on my borderline addiction, owning very DVD box set from 2005 onward and have begun expanding it into the early episodes of Doctor Who. I even own a sonic screwdriver T.V remote. Okay, I'm an extreme who head and extremely proud of it. Anyway, now that the introduction is done with, I would like to invite you to read my story, you see, I always thought that out of all the planets in the sky, maybe the mad man in a box was real, and this is the story of how when danger called, he did to.

I woke up and opened my eyes all too fast. Light flooded into them and I gave out a little yelp of pain and squinted my eyes half shut so they could adapt to the light. I reached down beside my bed and grasped my sonic screwdriver, I pointed it at the T.V and a light buzzing filled the air, the T.V reacting and switching on, showing an enlarged clock backed by Gallifreyan writing, it was a design of my own that I had managed to synch to my television with some heavy duty computer programming, as well as updating my screwdriver a little.
The clock read 7:45 AM and I let out a low groan of displeasure. Late, very late indeed. My parents would have already left for their respective work places. I pointed my screwdriver at my mobile and hit the second button down, activating its universal 'on' switch, the phone replied by turning on an I grinned, swinging my legs out of bed and rushing to get ready.
8:00 AM and I was out of the door with a piece of toast in hand, and backpack on, I realised that I didn't need to be so panicky, I mean, my school was just across the road and I didn't exactly take my time in getting ready. I crunched through my last bite of toast as I stepped through the gates of the school. When you think of my school, it would probably be better if you thought prison, and then, after you have the image of a prison in your head, think modern art, then you have the monstrosity that is my school. However, the day that I had planned for school was much better than a normal one, today was the day I revealed my Sonic to Amy.
Amy was another whovian and was probably the only person in my immediate company that I enjoyed hanging out with. She had slightly longer than shoulder length brown hair, was about an inch taller than me and absolutely adored Doctor Who just like me. In short, we were destined to be friends as soon as we met.
"So its finally done," came Amy's voice from behind me. I nodded as I walked and turned my head to the right, Amy drawing level with me as we walked.
"Yup" I replied, knowing he was talking about the screwdriver "four settings are installed on her; active, shut down, hacker and finally disruption." I continued, listing out my screwdrivers functions, a grin beaming from ear to ear on my face
"That's so cool" she replied, we stopped walking and she pulled me into a tight hug. I blushed deeply and backed away, I wasn't good with contact with girls.
Around 45 minuets of idol chat later and Amy and I were sitting next to each other in math class. A piece of paper crossed its way onto my desk, written in Amy's hand writing. It read " use the screwdriver on the computer, I really don't wanna do trigonometry today." I grinned at her and slowly removed the cylindrical device from my trouser pocket, angling it at the teachers computer and pushing my thumb down on the third button, the low buzz of the screwdriver filled my ears and the computer immediately blacked out. I grinned wildly, marvelling at my inventions power.
That was when things went downhill very quickly. Almost as if being activated by my screwdriver the teacher swung around as started to shake. A few sniggers circulated around the class and under breath mutters wondered wether she was having a fit. However, when the eye stalk erupted from her head people started both running and screaming. My mouth dropped open in a silent 'o' of shock and I sat there, unable to do anything other than glance over to my left at Amy, I could see she was thinking the same thing, the eyestalks looked distinctly Dalek.
"You are an enemy of the Daleks" the woman that used to be my teacher said, raising the palm of her hand toward us. "You will be EXTERIMINATED" I swallowed hard and stood up slowly from my chair, Amy was still frozen.
"How are you real?" I asked, my hand gripping around my screwdriver, my hand hovering over the third button again.
"Your statement is illogical, you are a threat to the Daleks, your end shall be swift," the drone said, a Dalek gun pushing its way out from under her skin.
"Use the sonic Matthew" Amy said from beside me, now standing and looking at the blue haze around the Dalek gun, signifying its powering up. I lifted my device.
"you are harmless, your device registers as a remote control." the Dalek said, a hint of doubt almost audible in its voice. I grinned, just like in the T.V show the creature was ignorant. I thumbed the button without a word and the Dalek immediately fell to the ground. I let out a laugh of victory and pocketed my screwdriver.
"how was that possible?" Amy asked, shaking slightly as the adrenaline from our encounter, I could feel the after effects as well. I all but crumpled back into my chair.
"I have no clue" I said, "but if that was real. What else is?" I asked, the weight of our discovery baring down on me. Who cared about the immediate Dalek threat, if they were real, what about The Doctor?
AN: Okay then guys, this is the first Chapter of a story that was initially written by the author doctorwhogal, hopefully I am going to do her justice with this story, I mean, teacher Daleks and home made sonic but not really sonic screwdrivers? I think that I put across some pretty good ideals combined with doctorwhogal's amazing concept. I would like to thank her for letting me wrote this and thank you to all who leave a review.
Love and Time Lords
