I Do

A Doctor Who FanFiction

By CyberParchment

Prologue: Will You Marry Me?

"Boring, boring, boring," eighteen year-old Levi Smith mumbled in monotone as he flipped through case after case of romantic movies that his family had in storage. As he fingered through them, an expression of mild disgust twisted his face. Truth be told, he couldn't see why this kind of movies would even exist in their household. Don't get him wrong, his parents weren't exactly rocks and stones when it came to affection. Levi knew for a fact that his parents loved each other. He just couldn't see logic in why they'd even want to watch films like this.

You see, Levi was the kind of adolescent that preferred facts. He believed that every sensation and every emotion was backed up by science. And science, to this boy, was something systematic, something that existed because of logic itself and something that can be explained, and so, he never really understood love in the fantastical sense of it. His indifference towards it ran in his blood, he always said. His clan wasn't much into love. Yes, indeed, his parents were a bit of an exception to that because it was obvious they had incomparable love for each other, as their other family friends would say, but since his own father was all scienc-y himself, he'd always thought that his parents' relationship had reached the stage of love because of science as well, something that was a product of systematic processes affected by time and continued exposure to each other. With this said, he never believed in love stories. He never believed in love at first sight. To him, emotions were products of the brain, and not the lump of muscle that pumped blood all over a person's body. To him, the so-called 'matters of the heart' were mere fantastical exaggerations created by writers, filmmakers and poets just to have some kind of false hope to believe in and latch onto. It was nothing but a waste of time for someone of his age because he was far too young to find someone his brain could create love with.

And so he continued to ignore every single romantic film he came across inside their film cabinet. He must have already gone through fifteen romantic comedies and five classics by the time he found one DVD case that caught his eye. The cover was white—stark white—and the style of the font and the overall look of it was clearly going for the sophisticated approach. There was a silver oval in the middle of the plastic case—yet another indication that this was an old movie because film discs nowadays were housed in glass cases—and its inside was coloured deep red with the words ' I Do' written in gold, cursive letters. Below the letters, on the edge of the oval, were entwined golden rings with 'Forever' inscribed on the inside golden bands. Aside from that, the rest of the front was bare white. Obviously, the cover was going for minimalist, as minimalist as the olden days could get. In Levi's opinion, it looked like a wedding video.

Levi didn't really know why that certain film caught his attention. It wasn't special, and by the looks of it, it was yet another one of those icky romantic films. But the thing was, Levi couldn't really find it in himself to put it down. Instead, he flipped the case to the back and started reading the text written on it. And once he'd started reading, he couldn't stop. Not because there was a beautiful summary of a love story written on the back and certainly not because the screen captures included there were captivating because he had skimmed over and ignored this information. Instead, his eyes immediately locked onto the names of the cast of characters. And this was actually what made him freeze. The names he found there were names of people he'd known all his life.

John 'Ten' Smith X & Rose Tyler

John 'Eleven' Smith XI & Clara Oswald

John 'Twelve' Smith XII & River Song-Smith

Rory Williams & Amelia Pond

Mickey Smith & Martha Jones

"Wait, what—" he murmured in bewildered curiosity as he read the names for the third time, once again ignoring the rest of the information written there. No matter how many times he repeatedly read it, the names remained the same. Obviously, it wasn't just his eyes playing tricks on him due to his boredom. But...come on...there was no way this could be real! These names were names of people he'd known since the day he was born, and there was no way that a movie could have been made about them, especially one he'd never heard of.

Flipping the case back-to-front and front-to-back again and again, he still couldn't fathom what kind of joke this could be. "Oh, I know, this is a home video, right?" But even as he said the words to himself, he knew he couldn't be right because he had caught the logo of one of the most famous television network in existence—BBC. And, as someone who had been involved in the company before, he knew for sure what an authentic product from BBC looked like, and this certainly was one of them. And that was when he decided to give the information a once over. He started with the screen captures included, and just as he had expected, the faces of the people he saw on the paper were faces of people he knew. Yes, they all looked decades younger, but he couldn't be wrong. They were them. He was sure as jam. That was when he finally gave the synopsis a read.

This 2013, BBC proudly presents yet another edition of I Do that will include journeys filled with romance, drama and inspirational lessons not only about marriage, but also relationship in itself. This year, we take on a special group of participants—a group that's connected by one family, one name. Joining us this edition are the heirs of the most powerful clan in all of Great Britain. This season, we are joined by none other than four members of the Smith clan, their respective significant others, and two of their closest friends.

With the Council to guide and advice them in working towards the prosperity of their love, will these couples survive life in one village, and prove that their love is something that can conquer the challenges that will be presented to them in the span of 120 days? Will these couples be able to prove that what they have isn't just something that's temporary, but instead something that lasts a lifetime? And in the end, which of these couples will come out as the strongest couple of them all, and win the grandest wedding ceremony in the history of the world?

1 Village,

5 Couples,

120 Days,

Invaluable Challenges;

Which love will conquer all others? Which romance will attest to being the strongest? Which "I Do" will prove the most honest?

Safe to say, by the end of reading the text at the back, Levi was already incredibly unimpressed. The synopsis he'd just read was the kind that was so cheesy and corny, he couldn't even believe anyone would actually watch it. And so that was the reason why a minute later, he was opening the case and was staring at the four discs nested inside. He knew these people on this television show—apparently, based on the synopsis, it wasn't a movie, but an actual reality show like Big Brother or something alike to that—and their involvement in this show was now starting to contradict how Levi had known them. Seriously, John Smith XII in a television show about love? Unbelievable. If there was anyone that looked more unimpressed by love than Levi, it would be Twelve. And so, with the boy's penchant for looking for proof and logic in everything, he couldn't fight the desire to watch the show any longer. With excitement now replacing the boredom—excitement towards finding out something he didn't know before—he placed the first disc onto the player's cradle. Not wasting any more time, he made himself comfortable on the plush sofa, and clicked 'Play' on the remote control. Immediately, soothing music emanated from the speakers all around him, and just then, as his eyes fixated on the television screen and what was happening on it as the first episode started, Levi felt like he was brought back in time, twenty years into the past...twenty years before he was born...

A/N: Foreword before we continue on with this fanfic, This fic would mainly be Eleven/Clara, but Ten/Rose and River/Twelve will also be one of the main couples. Sadly, Rory/Amy and Mickey/Martha will be taking the bleachers as minor characters a little bit because I can't write for that many couples. And I'm not an expert in writing Ten, Rose, Twelve or River. So as early as now, I'm already apologising for some evidences of OOC-ness. The thing is, though, this is an AU. Meaning, all these characters have lived different lives, so that gives me freedom in giving them personalities that might not be as spot-on as the ones on the show. I'll be trying my best to keep them as canon as I can in terms of personality, though, so you don't have to fear that.

I hope you found the prologue intriguing enough. From here on out, we'd be diving into the TV show, so we'd be saying a temporary goodbye to Levi and his perspective. We'll see him again later on. So for now, feel free to take a guess as to who this boy is. See ya next chapter! Don't forget to send me a review, I'd love that very much.
