A/N: My disclaimer is this - if I owned Dr. Who, I would not be writing fanfiction about it.

This story can go with any Doctor, but mostly the 11th, since I've seen the most of him. Or maybe a future one. You never know with time travellers. (Also, if you want to give adventure ideas, that's fine by me. Just please remember that due to my writing style, I will not be able to keep a cohesive style with more than 3 new characters. Unless I try hard. Really hard.)
