There was once a time when the Doctor didn't travel with a human companion. He preferred to travel alone back then. He had just stolen his TARDIS, and his first stop in time in that wonderful machine he now called home has haunted him for many a year. It was the year 7078 on the planet Baika. The Doctor knew it wasn't the best first stop, due to the entire planet being covered in either sand or metal, but it did have a great climate. That's all the Doctor really wanted right now. He exited the TARDIS, breathing in the spring-like air. He turned his head to the left and froze in place. About 50 feet from him was a golden dalek. The dalek would have heard the TARDIS materialize. Just as the doctor was about to go back inside the dalek spoke.
"PLEASE, WAIT." It turned its dome piece and body towards him. The Doctor hesitated. Would this dalek kill him? Or did it just want to talk? "I PITY YOU."
"I'm sorry, what was that?" A dalekpitied him? How? Daleks could only hate!
"I PITY YOU. FOR WHAT YOU BECOME. YEARS FROM NOW, YOUR ENEMY WILL BECOME THE ONE YOU OWE YOUR LIFE TO. YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND NOW. BUT YOU WILL. I PROMISE." The dalek turned and began moving in the opposite direction, leaving the doctor too confused for words. What did that dalek mean? What will he become? Why didn't it kill him? But most importantly, did the dalek sound… sad? All of these questions and no answers. The Doctor didn't know what to do. So he did the only thing he could. He got back in the TARDIS and made his way to a new vacation spot. He deserved it after this.
