Chapter 1
Beyond the tardis blue door
A TARDIS blue door stood in front of us. The silver lettering on the door shone in the semi-dim light of the TV corridor 'DOCTOR WHO' it said proudly. As the others knew of my love to the TV show they decided to let me open the door. I took the golden key from around my neck and unlocked the blue door and opened it. It opened into a circular blue room that had a black ceiling and glitter on it, with book shelves along the walls all filled with DR WHO related stuff. Books, official yearly annuals, yearly story books from 2005 onwards, collectables, magazines, toys, figurines models, fact books, and even the new encyclopaedia that just got up on to book store shelves.
In the middle stood a table much like the one from Alice in wonderland - Tim Burton style - on it were 5 envelopes, one for me, Daniel, Rachel, Bethany and Louise. I picked mine up after giving everyone there's and opened it and it read…
"WELCOME TO THE DR WHO UNIVERS!"
"ASHLEY NATALEY SWANON - you are Roses cousin, and when you mom - Jackie's sister - died your aunt Jackie takes you in, you now own the flat next door together with your best friends Bethany, Louise, Rachel and her brother Daniel. You are all working for UNIT - Unified Intelligence Taskforce.
You will be there one week before rose and the doctor return for Christmas, feel free to go to Cardiff and tell jack about what is happening, but do NOT tell him about his future.
You can also tell the doctor, but better tell rose after new earth as it may be easier, and then Cassandra cant use it against her. You will be travelling with the newly regenerated 10th doctor onwards. You MIGHT find things from your universe in that universe - as in DVD box sets and books and yearly annuals, feel free to do as you please this includes giving them as xmas gifts, but again DO NOT give them anything from there future.
The main thing you must REMEMBER when telling someone the truth is that any and all memories they have of you DID happen and that you are who you are and if they did a blood test you would show up as who you said you are in your case - Jackie's niece.
You may now step through the open door at the other end of the room
It is a memory implanter and a transmat machine.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!"
After I read the letter I looked up to see an open door at the end of the room and behind it was a machine that looked like a Sci-Fi looking teleport. We voted and I said I would go through it, I stepped in to it and 10seconds later a glass door slid in front of the machine, a bright light blackness…
Chapter 2
You can always rely on captain jack
I woke up to my annoying alarm and realised I was in a bed then I realised I had new memories that I didn't have before, but they were mine never the less, I looked around the room I was given and realised it was my dream room. I had black carpet, red walls with black swirls and a very light gray/cream ceiling. My bed clothing is black and red and the bed frame was a double queen size dark mahogany brown wood. It almost had a gothic feel. But at the same time not, it just looked like some one who likes the colours black, white, red and purple. I looked at my alarm clock and it read 8:05am, and the calendar said it was Friday 18th December. A week before Rosie came back with her mad man with a blue box. And it was a week before Christmas… I haven't gotten anyone presents yet! Right need tickets for Cardiff do that when I get home tonight. I get out of bed and get changed into my uniform, at UNIT I was in charge of doing the translation software which I have finished and only needs checking 'there going to need it next Saturday, he he…' I went from room to room making sure everyone was up and getting ready cause Dan was the one who took everyone to and from work on his car. Of corce I was the first one up so I had to do the breakfast which was easy. I went into the kitchen and put the kettle on, and put out the bowls and the different cereal, because rose was now with the doctor, aunt Jackie normally joins us in the morning, we always left the door in the liven room into her living room open. Just as I took out the full and semi-skimmed milk Jackie and the others came and joined me at the table. We finished at 8:45 and left the house, the day was normal I checked my translator program and then met Harriet Jones the president for lunch to tell her about it - you see when she found out about me being Roses cousin we became fast friends and loved to go out together for lunch but I was worried about her as she gives all her time to the country to try and make everyone's life better, aunt Jackie was now £18 better off. I also decided to get the next 2 and a half weeks off for Cardiff to see jack, Christmas and new year.
When we returned home I sent an email to a cretin captain asking him to get me some tickets to Cardiff and then we helped my Aunt Jackie put up the Christmas tree in her flat and ours, as we were doing aunt Jackie's tree I decided to tell her about tomorrow.
"Aunt Jackie?" I asked
"hmm?"
"were going down to Cardiff tomorrow and I wanted to ask, do you need anything?"
"not that I know of… "
"oh ok then I think ill just get everyone's presents s I haven't gotten them yet." I laughed and she shuck her head
"you always leave it till the last week, some times till the last day… what am I going to do with you?" she laughed
"do you think shell come?" I asked and she knew how I was talking about
"I dunno darling, I don't know" she sighed and I just hugged her
"I have a feeling that she wont be missing this one mum, just call it a good hunch" I whispered to her knowing that she was like my mom to me - well they were identical twins - and that when I had a hunch I was almost always right. She smiled and we continued to decorate the flats.
When we finish I checked my emails only to find a reply from jack, I opened it and smiled. The were the details for 5 return tickets from London, Paddington station to Cardiff central. I grinned and thought 'you can always rely on captain jack harkness to get you something when you need it and he can get it.' just then my mobile goes off.
"Hello?" I answer
"Ashley did you get my email?" asked a familiar voice
"Well Jack Harkness I must say, if there's one man people can rely on it is most defiantly you. Thanks by the way and are you going to meet us at the station?"
"your welcome, anything for the Tyler's, and yes I am."
"you do realise its Swanson not Tyler? don't you?"
"you may as well be a Tyler, you behave like one, and you have the Tyler slap, is it genetic?" he said cheekily and I could hear the grin in his voice.
"OI, pack- it-in or you'll see if its genetic or not with a one to your face. But I don't know if that's an insult of a compliment" I chuckle and he joins in as well
"anyways ill see you tomorrow and I cant wait to see your team! Bye jack"
"Bye gorgeous!" and I could again hear the flirting in his voice but I didn't care, he was sweet. I turned back to my computer and printed out the details for the train tickets. We had dinner, phoned the taxi company telling them to come at 7:15 and got ready for bed early knowing we needed to get up early if we were to catch the train at 8:00am.
Chapter 3
Even Cardiff bay has secrets.
The morning started like any other morning I got up, woke up every on else, made and had breakfast, got ready and put everything I needed in my hand bag. The only thing to day I needed to remember the gifts I got jack and his team, the details for the tickets and wait for the taxi. We were all ready and waiting outside when the taxi came at 7:15am and it took us to Paddington station which only took 15 minuets so we had 30, to get the tickets and find the platform. Once on the train we talked about what we or should I say I was going to tell jack. We got to Cardiff central station in 2 hours and when we got out there in all his glory stood in his ww2 trench coat - Captain Jack Harkness himself in the flesh.
I ran off the train and hugged him tightly and he laughed, we all got into the black SUV and drove to the docks were Owen Harper was to drive the SUV in to the garage and we waited for him to return. When he came back jack said to him
"Owen, take our gests trough the other way I want to show miss Ashley Swanson the guest way in" and Bethany winked at me knowingly 'Was NOT my fault I was smitten for him and that he could make me blush… ok it is, but its more his. Darn his good looks!' and I stuck my toung out at her making Rachel laugh quietly.
We went to the invisible lift and without waiting for jack jumped onto it and he looked slightly shocked but ignored it. He raped his arm around my waist and I blushed a little but didn't let him see it, but I squeaked a little when the stone jolted after jack pressed a button on his wrist strap. He laughed a little but stopped when he saw my glare yet didn't stop smiling. I recovered only to have my jaw fall open when I saw the size of the hub. IT WAS HUGE! And I haven't even seen the TARDIS yet, 'if this is my reaction to this what's my reaction to that? Fainting? I hope not!' I recovered enough to utter out a quite
"wow" and he just laughed
"you haven't seen the TARDIS yet" cried Rachel and Bethany laughing as well. I just huffed making everyone laugh and I decided to join in.
Once at the bottom and off the lift jack decided to introduce everyone in his team
"right introductions. This is Toshiko -" I cut him off thinking it was time I told him what I needed to.
"- Sato, or Tosh as you call her your computer geniuses, Dr Owen Harper you one and only doctor, and last but not least Suzie Costello the engineer and scavenger, and second in command. We know which is why we or I needed to talk to you, in your office." jack and his team looked shocked but jack recovered and lead the way to his office
One in his office we sat down and he looked at us to explain.
"now jack, before you assume anything I was and always will be, Roses cousin, and any memory involving me DID happen," I told him and he just looked confused
And I just sighed
"look imagine there's this boarding school, and no ones aloud on the 3 floor and the doors locked with a jewelled golden key, one day 5 kids take that key from the mistresses office and go to the 3rd floor open the door and find a very long corridor with lots of other doors different colours? On the back of the main door it explains there in the TV corridor and there are 3 more corridors, movie, animated movie and cartoon corridor. In the TV corridor they come across a tardis blue door with the word DOCTOR WHO in silver metal, what if them 5 children knew everything about that TV show but two more than the others, and they open the door and enter that universe and get envelopes explaining who they are in that universe is who they Really are, I Ashley Natalie Swanson am really Rose Tyler's cousin and Jackie Tyler's niece. And that the memories I have really did happen for everyone and I'm here to stay till the TV show finishes. And then I'm going to the spin-off TV show from DR WHO" I grin at him Torchwood"
At that jack looked slightly confused and then he grimes and said "we your defiantly welcome when that happens just don't go to TW1" he said seriously and I gave him a disburse look
"for what there going to do I don't think I'd go any were but TW3 Cardiff, and when this adventure finishes we will return to our age we were before we entered this universe, just like Narnia. Ageless but not immortal and you will meet him again but not for a good while jack" I smiled sadly at him but then grind at him,
"now will you help me bye some presents for me family and friends, I also want to add some red baubles to our White Christmas tree"
We bought everyone presents and jack had insisted to pay for everything. I got the doctor a tie that looked like the one I've seen, brown with dark blue swirls, I got Rose a book of all the stars and galaxies NASA has catalogued so far, for Rachel I got her a blue diary that had stars on the cover, and for Daniel, Louise and Bethany I got tickets to a concert to there favourite band. Jackie got a gift card to her favourite shopping centre of £100 and Mickey a Christmas card with £50 paper money as I didn't know what to get him.
Before we left for the station home I gave everyone there Christmas presents - for Tosh I had gotten a screen cleaner in a shape of a elf and a copy of my translator software, Owen I got him a in graved stethoscope that said 'to the best human DR in this universe, don't let life control you cause you control IT 3 YLS ANS' and I got I got Suzie a little metal statue of a dwarf that held a sign that said 'live life to the fullest' and strangely in my room I found a box set of season 1 and decided to give it to jack as it had happened, it also includes the Christmas special, I included a note saying for him to keep it safe and even tho his team CAN see it, for him to keep it safe and to not see the Christmas special until after anything major AKA movie night!'
We got onto the train after giving very one a hug and talked about the things we got every one except us 5, aunt Jackie decided to meet us at the London, Paddington station and we went home to continue the last of the simple life Me and Rachel have as the others were not sure they were coming.
