Chapter one: Bubbles and Testrooms
Time and space are incredible things, they flex and bend, morph and change. Never the same not for a second, each action has a completely incredible and opposite reaction, each decision an alternate world, something new always around the corner. In some worlds, large facilities created by naive men that contain evil supercomputers, in others a mad man in a box, travelling the universe, through Time and Space. But sometimes, just once in a while, universes get mixed up and twisted in ways that are hard to get our heads around. What happens if a supercomputer meets a mad man in a box, it could all get very...wibbly wobbly timey wimey.
The Doctor flew around the TARDIS console, his brown hair a mop over his head, his bow tie hanging loosely around his neck, his braces strapped securely over his shoulders and his perpetually goofy grin etched across his lips.
"So then pond, where to now" he grinned, casually throwing the question over his shoulder whilst he was working at the controls.
"How about somewhere hot, somewhere nice and sunny" she grinned back, elation at the doctor's happiness flowing through her like a drug. The doctor frowned, staring intently at a little bleeping symbol that was slowly becoming apparent on one of the TARDIS consoles.
"Oh pond, I am so sorry, but that might have to wait." The doctor said solemnly; regret casting a shadow over his face. Amy looked worried at eleven, "what's wrong doctor" she asked, the worry apparent in her voice.
"No time to explain now Pond, just hold on to something, hold on tight" he said just as the TARDIS
Lurched violently, Amelia pond, red hair and casual clothes, grabbed onto the railing she was leaning against, fear spreading across her face as the Doctor did the same. As the gravity seemed to just switch off the doctor gave one last shout
"GERONIMO"

Deep under the earth there is a project that only a select few know about. It is known as Aperture laboratories. All of the newest scientific innovations of the moment have been created there. All through testing, of course. Television, modern weapons, I-pods, Xboxes. You name it. It came from aperture laboratories. Recently, however, a robotic force overthrew the human rulers of Aperture, disposing of the staff with a deadly neurotoxin. Only leaving the test subjects behind. Due to the secrecy of Aperture, no body knows, and because no body knows, one by one the test subjects get awoken from hyper sleep to perform tests, all for the good of mankind.
Chell jumped her hair whipping behind her and her orange jumpsuit rippling as she fell through the air toward the hole in the ground. As she cleared through that hole and hurtled out into the air she aimed at the ground with a device on her arm and fired a ball of orange energy at a white area on the floor. The energy spread out and seemed to carve a hole in the ground, an orange haze surrounding it. Chell plummeted through the hole and shot out of a wall around 20 ft above it, she flew through the air and passed through an Aperture emancipation grill, this was followed by the device on her arm shaking slightly to show that the link to the two previous gaps in reality were severed. Chell landed deftly, the impact of the high speed dropped absorbed by her custom made boots. She looked directly at a camera and in response a voice over activated.
"Well done {enter test subject name here} you are performing adequately, it is in my programming not to lie, and if I told you we weren't all very proud of you I would be lying"
As the voice response gave its message Chell continued wearily to the emancipation grill at the end of the room that lead to an elevator shaft.
A large whining filled the air of the test chamber, along with a strong wind that was very unusual for an area this deep underground. A camera on the wall pivoted to the source of the sound, inclined to the right slightly as if it was independently wondering what could be causing it. The noises seemed to make a series of coughs and then, suddenly, with no pre-materialisation, the TARDIS came into existence, the light on top flaring into life for a moment before falling completely dead.
"Unknown artefact, identify yourself or be prepared for incineration" spoke the overhead voice at the dark blue box.
The Doctor and Amy had only just managed to keep clinging onto their individual railings and when the TARDIS stopped rolling them around like some sort of demented roller coaster they crumpled onto the ground. The TARDIS console seemed dead and a series of oxygen masks fell from the ceiling.
"Doctor, what just happened, where are we" Amy asked, picking herself up from the ground.
"Somewhere impossible" the doctor replied, already standing up. He ran to a railing at the edge of the central platform and vaulted over it, landing beneath the console itself.
" What do you mean doctor" Amy questioned her eyes on him constantly.
" Were in another universe" the doctor replied, re-appearing with a blue crystal in his hands, it glowed slightly and when the doctor blew on it that glow intensified.
"What do you mean another universe" Amy replied, a quizzical look on her face and a stray hair slowly drifting across her cheek, which she promptly brushed away.
"I mean were on planet earth, but a very different planet earth, think of universes like bubbles, except they're nothing like bubbles, and sometimes the walls of the bubbles are smaller and rub together, sometimes things get sucked through the walls and into the other universe, that's what happened to us." The doctor explained, acting as if this sort of thing happened to him all of the time. Amy grinned, her happiness returning.
"So were in another universe, a whole other reality…..i wonder… will there be another me here?" she asked, her mind flickering to Rory and her childhood, wondering if the two of them would ever get together like she hoped..
"Perhaps Pond, but we can't go anywhere whilst were in this universe, the TARDIS sub chromatic dispersal entoleter isn't calibrated for this world." The doctor mused "probably safer to stay in here actually "he added, seeing the excited glint in his companion's eyes. Amy pouted, her eyes going big and round, her top lip quivering slightly. The doctors two hearts were beating overtime, he hated putting her in a boring situation like this. A bored Amy was as problematic as The Daleks coming across a completely peaceful race. His musing and her pouting were interrupted by a series of knocks on the doors in a pattern of four.
'Knock knock, knock knock'
The Doctors eyes widened in disbelief,
"But that's impossible" Eleven whispered.
"What is Doctor?" Amy asked, worried for the Doctor.
"A very old enemy, if im right, which I hope im not, but I usually am soooo.. this could be problematic" the doctor babbled
"Doctor, you're babbling" Amy remarked, concern coating her face.
"Yes, I could be" he said, swallowing deeply "Amy, get behind the TARDIS console" he said. Amy complied, something she wouldn't usually do without a fight, but she knew this was different, something strange and very dangerous.
The Doctor opened the door to the TARDIS and hurtled out of it brandishing his sonic screwdriver, straight into the line sight of a floating orb and one of the test rooms in Aperture laboratories.
I hope your enjoying this so far, its all because of cardcaptor_lyoko, so I suggest you go and read his/her stuff as there is a portal-who fic up, so, leave a review on what you think and I shall continue as soon as humanly possible.
