Chapter 1- the accident
"So, Amy pond, Rory is visiting his family, what do we want to do?" the doctor said
"We never went to Rio. The actual Rio, not some underground, earth eatey, alien place" Amy said
"It should be good weather at this time of year. And if it isn't… then we might have more success in a few months… or a few seconds, depends on how you look at it" the doctor said. Then the TARDIS made a loud clang
"oh bugger" the doctor said, running around the centre console" not good, not good"
"Doctor… what's going on?" Amy asked
"The time vortex, it's gone. Luckily after the last time this happened I adapted the TARDIS, just in case but… no, no. stupid box" the TARDIS stopped "not you darling, you are wonderful" the doctor said
"What is happening?" Amy demanded
"We have fallen into the void" the doctor said
"The what?" Amy said
"The void, the dead space" doctor said
"Right…" Amy said" you've lost me."
"There are an infinite number of parallel universes in existence, stood next to each other… like pages of a book, except a book can open and when closed the book presses the pages together, hence no void. Forget the book. Do you get it now?" the doctor said
"Yes, it's like a book" Amy said "like the manual for the TARDIS that could tell us how to get out of this void thing is it?"
"No, the multi-verse is not thrown in a supernova, and the multi-verse is not wrong. And I said forget the book" the doctor said
"Right… I get it now" Amy said "no, you have lost me"
"Ok." The doctor said, tapping the wall of the TARDIS. A whiteboard slid down next to him "the void for humans. This straight line if your universe" the doctor said drawing a straight line "and this is a parallel universe. (He drew another line, a few centimetres next to it)A parallel universe is your universe, but there has been one decision made differently. So for example I flipped a coin as to weather to leave Gallifray. It was heads, so I left, but there is a parallel universe where it was tails, so I never left, and one where I didn't need to flip the coin, I knew to stay, or to go, and where it was head, but I still stayed…"
"Ok, I get it" Amy said
"Right. The void is this bit" the doctor said, pointing to the gap between them "the space between realities that is just nothing. That is where we are."
"How do we get out?" Amy asked
"Well, if the re-harmonise the calthrik system we can target the space we want to be in. but to do that we need floating atoms, which we don't have in here, so if we slip through the barrier to a randomized area we can do the re-harmonising and get home" the doctor said
"English" Amy said
"We need to go into a parallel universe… but the re-harmonising will take 2 months…we have to. You might want to find something to hang onto. It is going to be a bumpy ride" the doctor said. Amy grabbed onto the console. The TARDIS was flying all over the place, even worse than usual. "We are about to land…" the doctor yelled, and he slammed down a lever. With a large jolt, the TARDIS stopped, but the doctor lost his balance and stumbled backwards through a door
"Are you OK, Doctor?" Amy yelled
"Yes… I think I am" the doctor called "ah…I didn't want to come in here, I didn't realise that was in here."
"What's in there?" Amy asked
"Amy, you may hear a lot of screaming, and then I walk out of here in a trance. Don't try and stop me, a hologram will explain everything." the doctor said, a few second later, he screamed in pain. It was horrible to hear. Then, after a few seconds, or maybe a few hours, Amy couldn't tell. The door opened and the doctor walked out. He didn't say anything and walked emotionlessly to the door of the TARDIS and went out. As the door closed a hologram appeared
"This is emergency protocol apple/ peanut 36.5 " the man said "the biological scanner senses you are not Martha Jones, but a different friend of mine. I am the doctor. If you recognise me, great, if not, you need to trust me. I am a time lord and I can change my appearance. I am the doctor in my 10th form. If this has activated, we must be in a parallel universe and I activated the chameleon arc. It is a biological thingamajig that may will have turned us into a human... or an Androgum... don't want to become one of them... not again, i remember last time, all i cared about was food. I almose cooked a cat..."
"Come on doctor, get back on topic" a woman's voice said
"Yes, good point Martha. The only way to pilot the TARDIS through parallel universes is to re-harmonise the calthrik, and that takes 2 months. In a lot of parallel universes there is a type of particle I need to survive. In others there are not. I must remain human until the TARDIS finishes re-harmonising."
Ok, here is my fic. Kind of slow for a couple of chapters from here, but it will pick up, I promise.
