Prologue

"LETS HEAR IT FOR FREEDOM!"

Everyone at the party erupted in cheer as Noah Puckerman cried out those words. Some of them even threw their plastic cups in the air; causing a mixture of soda, red bull, and beer to go flying into the air. Under any other circumstances, Kurt Hummel would have covered his head and ran out of the crowd to avoid the sticky fluids from getting in his perfect hair. But this time, he stood his ground. It was a graduation party. He had been uptight almost all of his life. Time to have some real fun. Just as the sweet droplets came down, Kurt looked up to the night sky and closed his eyes. As the rain of party drinks fell down upon him, Kurt began to feel that he was truly relaxing for the first time since his fight with Blaine.

Chapter One

It was 11:30 PM and the party was still going strong. Music was blaring both inside of the house and in the back yard. Kurt found it astonishing that he hadn't been shoved into the pool yet. Then again, the fact that several football players were watching his back might have helped with that. And that group didn't just consist of Puck, Mike Chang, and his stepbrother Finn. There was one more jock on his side.

"'Sup, Hummel."

David Karofsky sat down in the lawn chair next to Kurt. Even though he wasn't completely out of the closet yet, Dave looked more comfortable with himself then he had ever been during high school. He leaned back in the chair and sipped some experimental mixture of unknown drinks.

"Hey David." Kurt replied "I'm glad you convinced me to come. I really needed this."

"Thought you would. From what Finn told me it sounded like you needed some fresh air after staying in your room for so long."

A small spark of depression appeared in Kurt's chest. The feeling was apparent on this face.

"Oh... Shit. Too soon... Sorry, Kurt, I-"

"No, no, it's Ok." Said Kurt as he quickly suppressed the lump in his chest. "It's been almost a month. I need to move on."

Dave kept eye contact with Kurt a few seconds longer. As if to get a glimpse of his real feelings, then he relaxed and looked forward at the swimming pool filled with half-drunken graduates.

"Can I try that?" asked Kurt after a short silence.

"What, this?" Dave held up his plastic cup. "I don't know, man... it's pretty strong."

"What's in it?"

"Mountain Dew, Monster, and vodka."

"Sounds, good." said Kurt as he began to reach over. David quickly pulled his cup back.

"Dude, I'm pretty sure this will bitch-slap you into next week. The strongest I've seen you drink tonight is a Shirley Temple mixed with a shot of wine cooler."

"Karofsky, I have been up-tight since freshmen year. It's time for me to let loose."

David raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"What?" asked Kurt.

"Nothing... It's just that I've never seen you talk like this. It's kinda cute."

The alcohol was probably getting to Karofsky more then he let on.

"-Shut up and give me your drink."

After a short last laugh, David hand Kurt his cup.

Kurt looked down into the light green fluid. With a deep breath, he brought it to his mouth and chugged two large gulps. The burn of the vodka was immediate. Kurt quickly lurched forward and coughed, almost spilling the drink. David took the drink away and lightly patted Kurt's back while laughing.

"What did I tell you, Hummel?"

"...Bitch-slap..." Was all Kurt could muster out.

"You got it."

Kurt could feel the alcohol begin to kick in. It wasn't much but he felt more relaxed.

"... Could you get me a watered-down version of that stuff?" Asked Kurt as soon as his voice came back.

Karofsky raised an eyebrow but eventually smiled.

"Well aren't you the tough guy."

And with one more pat on the back, David got up from his chair and entered the house.

"Whoa, now there's some fireworks!"

The Doctor just barely managed to get his arm away from the small explosion on the console.

"Rory, fix the quantum stabilization matrix!-"

"- The what?"

The young, skinny man, who was gripping onto the railing on the other side of the control room, looked at the Timelord as if he had just grown antennas; then looked to his wife, Amy Pond, who looked equally confused. The Doctor kept forgetting how primitive the human mind was when it came to time travel.

"Oh bloody he- turn the big grey fossett handle until the meter says 56.29 and not and inch more!"

"What happens if it goes over?" Asked Amy. It was getting harder and harder to hear over the sound of the alarms going off.

"We recreate the Big Bang!"

Suddenly, a new alarm started ringing. The Doctor ran around the console to the view screen. After pressing a few buttons, his face turned even more pale then it already was.

"Crash landing! Brace for impact!"

All three of them ran to the railing and rapped their arms around it for dear life. A second later, the ship slammed to a halt, leaned forward about thirty degrees, then fell back to the normal level. For a short while, the ship was completely silent.

"Well..." Said the Doctor as he slowly got up to his feet "at least the alarms have stopped...Peace and quite... I hate the quite..."

As the Doctor went back over to the view screen, Rory helped Amy up who had lost her grip in the initial impact and fell down the steps.

"Any idea what caused that?" He asked.

"I have a number of ideas." Replied the Doctor "Each more unlikely then the next."

"Well then what's the most likely idea?" Asked Amy. Her Scottish temper was starting to come out.

"Most likely?... The most likely is that someone forced us to come here... or something... either way, the Tardis was brought here against her will. It's almost like something plucked us from the air and dragged us down."

"What could do something like that?"

"That, Pond, I have idea what the answer is..."

"Ok, so let's get this straight." Said Rory as he helped Amy over to the chair by the console "We are dealing with an object or being that can just pluck a Tardis out of the time vortex and we have no idea what this thing is or what else it's capable of?..."

The Doctor looked over at his two companions and gave them a brilliant smile.

"Didn't I promise you good times?"

With that, the Doctor went over to the front door of the ship and pulled the double-doors open. A soft gust of warm summer night air came into the ship. Following the breeze was the faint sound of LMFAO's "Rock Party Anthem".

"Sounds like somebody's having a party." Said the Doctor as he started to dance with the music.

Amy looked over at the view screen where the coordinates were still on display.

"June third, 2012. Lima, Ohio."

"Perfectly normal American small town during a perfectly normal graduation night." Said the Doctor as he straightened his jacket.

"What are the chances are of something going horribly wrong here?"

Almost on cue, the sound of a glass bottle being broken was heard in the alley way a short distance from the Tardis and what followed was an unearthly shriek that was defiantly not human.

The Doctor immediately ran towards the sounds. How could he pass this up?
