Hey it's NewsieHamWho here with yet another rewrite of Time Never Wasted. The original can still be found on my account, but I think this one will be better. It's a bit more fun to write.

Chapter One

Tori was tired of ordinary days. This summer, all there'd been were ordinary days. Other summers, there'd been weird… things that happened. Like two summers ago, Tori and her friends almost drowned. Okay, that wasn't necessarily good, but at least it added some color to her relatively boring, grey, normal life. Moving to LA definitely did NOT help.

Tori awoke to sirens going off outside her bedroom window. There was an ambulance, just sitting there, at the side of the road. No people, just a siren. The ambulance was parked. That's weird… she thought to herself, and closed her blinds, just to be safe. Tori got out of bed, and checked her phone. No texts, no Instagram notifications. Tori wasn't sure if she was supposed to be happy or sad.

She changed out of her pajamas and into a t-shirt and jean shorts. The California weather was so much different than the weather back in Scotland, and she loved it. Apparently she was named after the Torrey Pines down in San Diego. She'd never been, even though it was only an hour or so drive from Los Angeles. After leaving the room, she walked down the hall, phone in hand. Her mum, Christa, was watching TV.

"Mornin'," she said, sitting down nearby Christa. But then she saw the TV. "Mum! Are you watching the Bachelorette without me?" The Bachelorette was Tori's new favorite show. Christa quickly turned off the TV.

"I was, I couldn't resist," she laughed, "the new episode's really good."

Tori rolled her eyes, "I told you to not watch it without me!"

"We can watch it later, alright?"

"Ok!" Tori laughed, but then her mind couldn't help but wonder about the ambulance. "Mum, you know why there's an ambulance outside?" It still blared in her ears.

"What ambulance, Tori?"

"The one outside? The one making the siren-y… noise?"

"Tori, there's nothing out there and certainly no siren." That caught Tori off guard.

"Mum, I swear there was an ambulance!"

"Well it must be gone."

Tori was a bit creeped out, "I'ma get something to eat."

"You better. 'Don't want a cranky Tori," Christa laughed. So Tori went and put some waffles in the toaster, and got some orange juice. She waited for a minute, and put the waffles on a plate.

Tori ate in her room, keeping a close eye on the mysterious ambulance. It didn't move which scared her. When she looked hard enough, the lights didn't flash, they just… stayed there. There was someone inside, and he didn't move either. That's bizarre. Am I going insane? Tori blinked. The man was gone. But the ambulance wasn't. The ambulance, still. Everything else moved around it, at least some form of movement, but the ambulance remained inanimate. Why is that motionless? Just that?

And then suddenly, there was a blue form materializing across the street, making noise above the sirens. It was a blue police box, and the doors swung open. A man in a tweed jacket and bowtie ran out with a ginger girl, and the man pointed a small metal stick with a green thing on the end at the ambulance, and the man appeared in the driver's seat again. The ambulance suddenly was in motion, driving away, but somehow literally driving through cars on the road. The man and the girl chased after it, leaving Tori really confused. So Tori opened the door of her bedroom, and ran to the front door, swinging it open and starting to run towards the man and the girl. She really didn't know what was happening, but she knew running towards them would somehow get her answers.

The ambulance was laying on it's side across the road, and the man was pointing his metal stick thing at the glass windows, and it was making strange noises. The sirens stopped.

"That should stop that ruckus. Amy, you might want to…" Tori could overhear some of the conversation as she walked near. She hid behind a tree on the sidewalk, not wanting to be seen by the two.

"Doctor, why on Earth was the…" Tori couldn't hear a bit of the Scottish girl's sentence, it made no sense anyway. "There's nothing special about Los Angeles! I mean it's literally just LA! And how on Earth did we go from going to Madame Tussauds' to fighting aliens?"

Aliens? Tori wondered. Aliens weren't real. She hated hearing stories about the extraterrestrial. It creeped her out. She didn't like to think there were things above that mostly wanted to kill her.

"Amy, I think you've traveled enough with me to know that it's impossible to have a nice vacation!"

Something grabbed Tori's wrist.

"Tori, what are you doing here? I thought you were out of town!" it was Tori's new friend Mary. Mary was nice, but she was a typical self-centered American. (AN: Like me… probably.) Tori had to lie that she was going camping just to get Mary to leave her alone.

"The place where we were going camping got…" Tori tried to think of an excuse, "rained out." Mary frowned.

"That sucks. Well, wanna come over to my house and play MarioKart?"

"Urm, I'm supposed to be exercising," Tori lied, but in reality she was too busy trying to watch whatever was happening with the ambulance. She peeked back over, but the ambulance and the people were gone. Tori also knew that MarioKart was extremely unpopular. "I better go back, I've been jogging for quite a while now."

Mary looked down, a bit sad, "Oh, okay. Well," she smiled, "see ya around!"

"Yeah, see ya," Tori said, then jogged out of Mary's sight. Tori was finally at her house, and noticed that the blue box was still there. When she opened the door, she was shocked. The man and the girl were talking to Christa. They all turned when she came in.

"Uh, who're you?"

"I'm the Doctor, and this is Amy. Don't mind us," the man, the Doctor, turned to talk to Christa, "I'm sorry if there was any inconvenience."

"You're completely fine. I don't recall hearing any sirens," Christa replied. "Tori, did you?"

"Yeah, there was an ambulance outside my window," Tori said, "it was creepy."

"Well, it's dealt with," the Doctor said, smiling. "What's your name, again?"

"Tori," she replied, almost hesitant. She had no clue what the Doctor was doing there, and whatever that ambulance was had clearly been extraterrestrial.

"Well, Tori, I can promise that you should be safe for a week or so. Your mum is letting us stay here just to be sure," the Doctor said, "Christa, do you have some sort of gaming system?"

"Yes, Tori, why don't you show the Doctor how to use the XBox?"

Tori smiled, "sure." She went and grabbed the three remotes, and put them on the coffee table. "You okay with Sonic Racing?"

"Sure," Amy said, "I bet I'll win."

"No, I'm going to be the winner!" the Doctor said.

"I always win when I play against my mum. There hasn't been a time I haven't got first," Tori said.

"Well let's see if you can win against me!" Amy laughed. Tori turned on the TV, and went into the game. She choose Shadow- he was the one character she always played with. The Doctor chose Sonic, and Amy choose Knuckles. Tori completely forgot about the ambulance, she was too busy playing Sonic.

And then, she felt a chill up her spine…
