A/N: Oh dear god, I thought I'd never get this up. Well welcome to my first story! It's been a long time since I've written anything like this, and please feel free to review and comment. I have so much planned for this story, and for a few others I have in my head - I'm excited to finally get them written down. Anyways; enjoy - review, and comment.
I do not own anything related to Doctor Who - anything you recognize doesn't belong to me.
Prologue: A strange little book.
This book lays forgotten, covered in dust. It appears to be old, really old. The pages yellowed with age, the cover faded from what you could almost assume was the colour blue. It seems to be fallen apart from being held, and read over and over - yet. Yet you've never seen this book before. Where did this come from? You almost passed it off as something one of your grandparents left behind, but you couldn't shake this feeling of curiousity that came from seeing this book. Grabbing it, sitting down, you open to the first page..
As you grow up, you learn that the universe is bigger than you thought it was. You peer into the sky only to wonder if we're truly alone. Of course that's absolute rubbish, we aren't alone but human's have this way of...ignoring the obvious. That's what I am, I'm a human. A human girl, age 23 and living on Earth. I live in a little country called Canada, well when you look on a world map, it's not so small but compared to what's out there. We're tiny. Very very tiny. I've heard rumours of alien encounters on our small rock, but there has never been enough proof. Mind you, I wouldn't know what I would do if I came face to face with an actual Alien. God, we think we would be cool and totally fine with it. Truth is. I'd be terrified and probably run the opposite direction. Fun. Well truth be told, it's exactly what I did the first time I came face to face with an creature from another world.
Well I should probably offer my name, it's Adrianna McDonald. Nice to meet you! Like I said, I'm a 23 year old woman, living on my own, with my best friend Matthew Riley. Also very handsome if I do say so myself. We live together, and both have...had? Normal jobs, and relatively live...lived? A normal life. He works as a Techie at some electronic store, as I work in a Doctor's Office. Passions we both love, and enjoy on a day to day basis. Awesome isn't it? But, we've always wanted more in life, always wanted to explore more of our planet and learn of what's out beyond the stars. Sadly we could never leave our home, not for more than a week as we're both too dedicated to our jobs. Until...it all happened. Until him. Not really understanding how it happened, but it did.
So, I decided to write down our adventures, figured someone might stumble across this old book when we are gone and forgotten in time. If that's even possible. I must say, this whole...thing is a bit absurd. You might find this, think us dead, but truth be told...we're not. Hopefully this book finds it's way to someone who is willing to read it. I must tell you, you make think me...us...mad, but we're not. What I've written is nothing but the personal lives of our Madman in a box. What he does for the human race, for...any race really. Such a big heart.
We are just a small part of the universe. The human race. Scary thought isn't it? We met some interesting characters in our journey's and we hope to continue to meet more. Mind you, it's not always been so easy. At the beginning we...we were scared, scared for our lives and scared to get close to anything that wasn't familiar. I couldn't sleep because of the terror I felt day to day, only to collapse from exhaustion time to time. Until Matt and I got used to what was happening. It takes a while to adjust to this life. Not that Matt and I had much of a choice...would we give it up? Never. Too much fun now!
Who ever found this journal, where ever it ended up. I feel I must warn you, these adventures aren't all sunshine and rainbows, for living them was needless to say...terrifying. Each day we faced a new danger and each day I always wondered if we would make it out alive at all. Each day, we would laugh ourselves senseless, just happy to have survived. Not helping I know, but most important of all, each day we got to meet new friends, and learn extraordinary things. It's been, needless to say fantastic.
Don't think that this journal is meant to be kept as a secret, in fact tell people, show them! I don't mind. We want the world know about this life we're living, we want the world to know about him. The most extraordinary man alive. He does so much, and doesn't ask for anything in return. He is...amazing. There's no words to describe him, well...there is. It just doesn't do him justice. He's become our best friend, someone we care deeply for. Maybe you will too. The only thing is, tell people - yes. Just...don't go crazy. The last thing we need is crazy fanatics. Tell those the closest to you, those you trust - for if you are holding my journal, she trusts you, and if she does, I do.
If you wish to stop reading, then by all means stop. I don't blame you. If your curiousity gets the better of you, like mine. Please...turn the page. Welcome a whole new world into your life. Meet the friends we've met, meet the aliens and explore new worlds that we've seen. Become best friends with the madman in a box - our madman in a box.
Go on, chose - will you set the book down to let someone else find it? Or will you continue?
Reader's Choice
-Adrianna
Letting out a breath, you realized you've been holding it while reading. You could almost swear you heard a woman's voice speaking to you, saying the words that were across the page. You must be mad, shaking your head, laughing nerviously to yourself. Of course, there was no one else with you, just you and a little ratty book. but you start to wonder. What could this woman, Adrianna, tell you that you already knew? A soft chuckle sounded through your mind, making you jump. There's more to this than what it appears. Staring at the book, you make a choice.
