Hello!
This is my first story so the formatting is a bit weird.

Yalaea was curled up on her couch watching TV when she heard a noise to her left. Her head turned automatically and Yalaea saw a crooked smile crack across her wall. There was a faint light spilling from the crack and it was strangely hypnotising. Yalaea's legs stood her up and slowly walked over to the crack. Her eyes scanned the length of the crack and she placed a finger from the same hand either side of the crack. Did it just get wider? She thought. Nah! It can't have! Her arm, involuntarily moved her other hand up as the light spilled out from the crack, enveloping her arm…

The Doctor ran to the other side of the TARDIS controls, pushing Amy and Rory out of the way. "No, no, NO!" he cried, falling as the TARDIS jolted roughly,
"Doctor!" Amy screamed, grabbing onto the railing "What. Is. Going. On?"
The Doctor ignored Amy and hauled himself upright. He hung onto the monitor while flicking a switch with his foot. This did not appear to make any difference until the TARDIS landed with a crash that sent all three to the floor. The Doctor was first to recover, he sprang up and started fiddling around with the controls. "Where've you brought us this time?" he muttered as he swung the monitor screen around to face him.
Amy and Rory got up groaning. "That's never happened before" Rory said angrily.
"Yes it has, just not with you" the Doctor answered distractedly. He twiddled a few knobs on the monitor. He gasped as he saw what had brought the TARDIS here.
"What is it Doctor?" Amy asked, her Scottish accent clearer than usual, stating that she was more scared than she let on.
The Doctor was too busy to notice Amy. "No…no" he muttered "That's impossible! No! It can't be! No!"
"Doctor?" Amy and Rory yelled.
"It's probably a glitch, but I need to check it out…" he paused "Nah! It can't be!" he turned to Rory and Amy. "You two stay here!"
There was something in his tone of voice that made Amy and Rory do as they were told for once. They nodded and instinctively moved closer to each other.
The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS into pouring rain. The street was empty apart from a young woman standing, curled up in her jumper. She was tall, about as tall as the Doctor and wearing blue skinny jeans with bright red converse. The jeans outlined her slim figure and the converse showed her feet were images of her body, long and skinny. She had a loose jumper that matched her blue eyes. The woman's wind-tossed, blond hair fell gracefully on her shoulders. She looked up at the Doctor and looked puzzled for a moment. "Hey?" she called in a slight Irish accent…

Yalaea found herself in the pouring rain, on an empty street. She ducked under the awning of the nearest building for shelter. Yalaea looked confused at a blue phone box on the corner of the street. Wait! She thought I don't even know what planet I'm on, let alone what year it is! The full weight of her predicament crashed through her mind. I'm lost. I don't know when or where I am! She looked up as a strange man walked out of the phone box. He was wearing a strange suit with a bowtie. He was about Yalaea's height with dark hair that fell across his blue eyes. A strange thought popped into her head, she thought that a bright red fez would suit this strange man perfectly.
Yalaea lowered her eyes as he looked up at her. She glanced up again with a sudden brainwave. "Hey?" she called.
The strange man walked over to her "What is it?" he asked.
"I'm sorry but can you please tell me where I am and…what year is it?"
The man looked at his watch. Now why would he do that? She though before he answered her, "The outskirts of Dublin city, Ireland. 2011" He grinned,
"So, Earth then" she muttered to herself.
"What?" he asked,
"Oh nothing. What was your name?"
"The Doctor, yours?
"Yalaea" she smiled, holding out her hand. The Doctor took her hand and shook.
"What brings you here, Yalaea?" he asked,
"It's a long story, I don't know most of it and you wouldn't believe me anyway."
"Wanna bet?" he laughed.
Yalaea grinned back, "Well, I was in me lounge room when I heard a strange noise. I turned and saw a crack in my wall." She paused when the Doctor gasped, "What?"
"Oh. Nothing…Go on." He said hurriedly,
"OK… Well, the crack was almost hypnotising, then, without knowing it, I was right in front of it and then this light thing started coming out of it and as soon as it touched me I was here." She gestured around her.
"But you'd have to have some sort of connection to this universe to be brought back…" the Doctor muttered.
"What?" Yalaea asked her Irish accent more pronounced. The Doctor ignored her question,
"This won't make much sense but I need you to step inside that phone box" he pointed to the one Yalaea had passed earlier.
"Okay" Yalaea said warily. She flipped the hood of her jumper up and ran for the phone box. The Doctor followed her and pulled out a key as he was running.
"Out of the way" he muttered and he inserted the key with a practised ease. "In, quick!" Yalaea tumbled into the phone box and lowered her hood as she stood dripping at the entrance. The entire TARDIS control room stretched out before her eyes, which were almost popping out of their sockets. The Doctor waltzed in and stood in front of her. "Anything to say? Any, passing remarks?" he grinned.
"No." Yalaea muttered "It can't be! There can't be one left. They died! They all died!" he voice filled with sadness.
"What?" the Doctor exclaimed "What?"
Yalaea gazed at the Doctor. "You're real!"
"Well of course I'm real!" he said a bit grumpily.
"No but…" Yalaea struggled for the right words, "I can't explain…look" Yalaea looked around, noticing Amy and Rory for the first time; she ignored them and grabbed the stethoscope from on top of the TARDIS controls. Without an explanation she reached over and put the ear pieces in the Doctor's ears and placed the bell over her heart.
"Your heart beat?" the Doctor asked confused,
"No." Yalaea smiled and moved the stethoscope to the right side of her chest. Her smile grew wider as she watched the Doctor's expression as the stethoscope projected the sound of her second heart into his ears. The Doctor's eyes widened in surprise, he slowly removed the stethoscope from his ears and grinned from ear to ear, but then he frowned,
"But, how?"
"You're not the only Time Lord to come to Earth, Doctor. My grandparents came here a long time ago." Yalaea's face fell with sad memories but then she continued, "Me grandpa, on me ma's side, fell in love with a human woman, me grandma, but both me grandparents on me pa's side were Time Lords. So I'm a ¼ human." She grinned,
"So that's why I didn't sense you…" the Doctor muttered before motioning for Yalaea to continue,
"I still have two hearts and all the knowledge I need of Time Lords. I've never been to Gallifrey but I still know how to fly a TARDIS" she gestured to the controls "But there is one thing I don't know." Her smile dropped "I have never received a mortal injury so I do not know if I can regenerate or not." She smiled "But I know I have a long life span. Nine-hundred and seven and I don't look a day over twenty".
The Doctor stared for a moment, and then he grinned again. "Brilliant! The fact that you were born here stopped you being erased from history. Instead you got dragged back here!" He frowned again "But what I don't understand is, how come you were in an alternate universe to begin with?" he asked,
Yalaea's face fell "Me ma and pa sent me there before the walls were sealed to save me from the Time War. They both went to fight, even me ma who was only half Time Lord but they said I was too young, only one-hundred and sixty-nine. I've spent the rest of my life trying to get back. I…I nearly went mad when I got news of how the Time War ended" her voice was filled with the sadness of nearly eight centuries. The Doctor placed a comforting hand on her shoulder,
"Well, you've found your way back." Yalaea met his eyes and gave him a watery smile. She turned to Amy and Rory,
"Now, who are you?" she smiled. Amy introduced herself and Rory for he was still staring at Yalaea in shock. "Nice to meet you." Yalaea said, shaking Amy's hand "You travelling with him?" she jerked her thumb to where the Doctor was standing. Amy nodded and grinned,
"It's been amazing!" at inquiries from Yalaea, most of Amy's story was told. Yalaea listened interestingly until the Doctor yelled,
"Where to now?"
"You mean I can come?" Yalaea asked surprised,
"If you want." The Doctor grinned "The last of the Time Lords, oh what fun we'll have!"
Yalaea grinned back and walked over to the TARDIS controls. "I repeat" the Doctor said "Where to now?"
Yalaea grinned and turned to Rory and Amy "I don't care! What about you guys?" Amy laughed and shrugged her shoulders.
"I know!" the Doctor exclaimed "I can set the TARDIS on shuffle!"
"Brilliant!" Yalaea grinned,
"I know! What do you guys think?" he turned to Amy and Rory and they nodded their agreement. Yalaea and the Doctor grinned and they both went for the TARDIS controls.
The Doctor noticed that, unlike River, Yalaea never got in his way. They moved with each other, dancing around the controls, weaving in and out, around the other. The only time they were ever out of sync was when both their feet met as they flipped the same lever. Yalaea looked up and grinned at the Doctor and he grinned back. "Goodbye Dublin…" he said,
"Hello everything!" Yalaea finished as the TARDIS jolted into the Time Stream…
