"Hey! It's my turn to fly the TARDIS!" I yelled. I pulled a few levers on the TARDIS control console.

"Shut it! You flew it last time!" The Student yelled back. He flipped the levers back to their original position, and then flipped a few switches.

"Can't you two just get along?" our companion, Clara Davids, asked us with annoyance. She grabbed both of our hands, trying to get us to pay attention to her.

The Student and I turned to her and shouted, "NO!" It's just another typical day for us time travelers.

Hi. I'm The Doctor. Well, The Junior Doctor, but everybody calls me The Doctor, the name of my father. My brother (The Student), and I have been traveling the Universe trying to live up to our father's reputation. Clara Davids is our companion. She's nice to have around, and she's probably the only reason The Student and I haven't killed each other yet. We met Clara on one of our first adventures; I remember it like it was yesterday… Oh yeah, it was yesterday. Well, here's how it happened:

*The day before*

Student and I were in the TARDIS, flying it for the first time since our dad gave us the keys. I input the year 2053 into the control console.

"Hey! How come YOU get to fly the TARDIS first?!" The Student shouted, pushing me away.

"Dad said so when he gave me the keys!" I responded, returning to the console.

Our dad, The Doctor, had entrusted with us the keys to his TARDIS. He wanted us to continue his legacy, and help those who need it. Too bad we are just about the worst team in the universe. We are complete opposites. I inherited the Doctor's kindness, intelligence, compassion, cleverness, basically everything good about him. The Student inherited his strength, his temper, his darker side basically. The Student did have some good in him, but he didn't have a lot of patience, so usually his temper won out over his good side. He had short brown hair, brown eyes, light skin, and was big and bulky

"You're doing it wrong! Get away from the controls!" Student exclaimed as he pulled me away from the console.

"Stop!" I yelled. The TARDIS started shaking, and became very unstable. "Look what you've done!" I pulled and pushed levers, hit a few buttons and grabbed the brakes. I pulled as hard as I could, and the TARDIS stopped suddenly.

The watch Dad gave me said that we were in London, England, December 25, 2053.

"Good job Junior. Let's see if I can't fix this mess," Student said as he walked out of the TARDIS doors.

"You're the one who screwed me up," I said, annoyed. I heard a clang, and then a thud. "Student?" I called. I walked out of the TARDIS and looked around. We had landed in somebody's house. Christmas decorations were hung up, and there was a Christmas tree in the room. Student was unconscious on the ground.

"If you don't want to end up like your friend, give up now," I heard someone say behind me. I turned, and there was a human girl standing there holding a shovel. She was wearing a nice red dress with green dots and her dark brown hair was put up, and she had a sort of tanish complextion. "I've had a rough day, I just got back from my family's Christmas party, and I'm NOT in the mood for hooligans breaking into my house with a… Police box… So give up now!"

"Wow… you… look… amazing!" I exclaimed. She responded by hitting me with the shovel.

"I hate compliments," she said with an angry tone as I faded out of consciousness.

"Ow… What happened…?" I asked. My head was in a lot of pain.

"That stupid girl knocked us out and tied us up, THAT'S what happened, idiot," Student said.

I then took in my surroundings, I was in the same room as before, but I was tied to a chair with my hands behind my back. The girl walked in and said, "You're lucky my soufflé didn't burn. Otherwise I would've called the police already."

"Soufflé?" I asked, and then noticed the smell coming from the kitchen.

"Yes, soufflé, they're delicious," she said.

"Can I have some?" I asked.

"No!" she yelled in disgust. "You broke into my house! Why would I give you some? And more importantly, why are you here?!"

"Well, you see-" I started but was cut off by The Student.

"Why are you telling her?! She's human! And even more importantly, you don't just tell what we're doing just because she asked!" The Student yelled.

"Because I don't lie to people or leave them out of information they deserve to know. We DID break into her house after all, even if by accident," I said. "Okay, so I'm the Doctor-"

"Doctor who?" She interrupted

"Actually, it's just The Doctor-"

"JUNIOR Doctor," Student corrected.

"Yeah, not important. Anyway, he's The Student, just The Student, and that police box is called the TARDIS, or Time and Relative Dimension In Space. We got in a bit of a tiff and accidentally landed in your living room. Oh, and before I forget… Happy Christmas!"

"Umm… Happy Christmas…" she said confused.

"Breaking news," said a voice coming from the TV, "Aliens have seemed to invade London. There are reports of weird, robotic things that shoot lasers and have an eyestalk and a plunger-like appendage rampaging through the streets, shooting at everything in sight, looking for a man called 'The Doctor.' Authorities advise staying indoors and- Oh god they're here!"

"EXTERMINATE!" screamed another voice, followed by the sound of lasers.

"Oh no… Daleks…" I said, frightened by the thought of what they've done in the past.

"I don't have time for this, I have a planet to save," Student said as he finished untying his wrists and getting out of the chair. He grabbed the shovel out of the girl's hands and used a pressure point to knock her out.

"Good job Student! Now get me outta here!" I exclaimed.

"No, you'll just slow me down. And I better tie her up so she can't interfere either," Student said as he tied her wrists and set her in the chair, "Don't worry, I'll get you guys out after I'm finished with the Daleks. Bye!" He said as he walked out the door.

"You're going to get yourself killed!" I shouted.

"Ugh, what happened?" the girl asked.

"The Student went to take matters into his own hands. Like always," I said. "So what's your name?"

"Clara. Clara Davids," she said.

"Clara, that's a beautiful name," I said.

"Do I really need to tell you again? I don't like compliments," she responded.

"Well, Clara that doesn't like compliments, we're gonna go help The Student," I said as I finished untying myself. I then untied Clara and we ran outside.

"Okay, how do you plan to find and help him?" Clara asked.

"His sonic screwdriver has a homing device and if you wait just one second…" I ran back to the TARDIS, grabbed Dad's old sonic, and ran back and held down the button. "He's at Big Ben, let's go!" I shouted as I grabbed Clara's hand and pulled her into the TARDIS. Her jaw dropped, she walked out, back in, back out again, walked around the TARDIS, and walked back in and shut the door.

"It's… It's…" she stuttered, "It's smaller on the outside!"

"Oh. I was hoping you'd say 'it's bigger on the inside.' Only one other person said 'it's smaller on the outside,' her name was Clara too," I said as I pulled levers, put in codes, and span some things, and then landed the TARDIS. "Okay, we're here, let's go."

"It moved?" she asked.

"Yes, we're at Big Ben now let's go," I said as I grabbed her hand and brought her out of the TARDIS. "Ok so I think that the daleks would have set up their control center at the tippy top of Big Ben so let's get up there." I unlocked a door using the sonic and there was a ladder in the room it led to. "Well?"

"What?"

"Aren't you going to climb?"

"Excuse you! I'm in a dress, eyes front soldier," Clara said warningly.

"My eyes are always front," I said slyly as I began the climb. Clara followed behind.

"Mine aren't," she replied. I blushed but hurried up the ladder so she didn't notice.

At the end of the ladder, we climbed onto a walkway that led to two different doors. I checked the screwdriver and said, "He's this way, come on."

I opened the door, and in the room there were fifteen daleks, 10 aiming at the door and 5 aiming at Student. "Idiot! I have this under control!" he yelled.

"Yeah, sure. Now, you fellas are going to let my brother go, or else face the wrath of The Doctor and… Where did she go?" I asked, looking for Clara.

"THE DOCTOR? YOU ARE THE DOCTOR?" A dalek asked.

"Yes, and whatever you're planning, you won't get away with it," I said.

"IMPOSSIBLE. OUR REINFORCEMENTS WILL BE ARRIVING WITHIN FIVE OF YOUR EARTH MINUTES. THE HUMANS SHALL BE EXTERMINATED," the dalek said.

"Umm…" I thought for a second, "Well, you didn't know this but I already destroyed your reinforcements, so no one is coming."

"YOUR STATEMENT IS OBVIOUSLY A LIE. OUR REINFORCEMENTS- WAIT. WHAT IS HAPPENING!? THE DALEK SHIPS HAVE BEEN SET TO SELF DESTRUCT! ALL SHIPS BUT ONE HAS BEEN DESTROYED! DALEKS, RETREAT! YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF THE DALEKS!" the dalek yelled as he teleported away.

"Clara… She did it!" I yelled with excitement.

"Doctor!" Clara screamed from the other room

"Clara!" I yelled as I ran to the room, a dalek was edging towards her, getting ready to shoot. I got in front of the dalek right before it shot, and the shot hit me directly in the abdomen. I collapsed, and Student used his sonic to overload the daleks systems, killing it.

"Doctor!" Clara screamed. She kneeled by me and hugged me, "It's going to be ok, please don't die," she started to cry.

"You're safe. That's all I care about," I started to cry.

"Junior…" Student started, "You can't die on me… Not now… We've only just begun our adventures…"

"Doctor…" Tears were streaming down her face.

I didn't want to leave her, I couldn't leave her, I couldn't die. Regeneration energy started to radiate off of me. "Stand back…" I said. The Student pulled her back, and I stood up, and then it happened. I regenerated. The whole of Big Ben shook, and everything in the room was blasted to the walls. Luckily Clara and The Student weren't hit by anything. As the process finished, I leaned against the wall.

"Doctor…?" Clara called.

"Give him a minute, he's just regenerated," The Student said.

"Clara… It's me… I'm alive…" I said. Clara came over to me, and as I started to fall, she caught me.

"You're alive…" she cried happy tears from her beautiful brown eyes, and I slipped out of consciousness.

When I woke up, I was back in Clara's house; they had carried me back to the TARDIS and brought me there. "Clara?" I called.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" she asked.

"Like I was shot by a dalek," I joked.

"Ha. Funny. Anyways, I made you something," she pulled a soufflé out of the oven, "You've been out for a while, just long enough for me to make this for you and to let it cool. Happy Christmas," she put it down and hugged me. I tried some, and it was the best thing I had ever tasted. The irony was that in my last regeneration, I hated soufflés.

"I love it, thank you," I said.

"It was nothing. Now get some rest," Clara said. I drifted back to sleep.

When I woke up, Clara was making coffee and hot cocoa. She was wearing a white shirt with a purple top and jeans. "Hey, wasn't sure which one you'd like better, so I made both," she said as I sat up, handing me a cup of cocoa and a cup of coffee. I tried the cocoa, meh, I tried the coffee, once again, meh.

"Hmm…" Clara took the two drinks and mixed them. I tried it and it was amazing! "Delicious! I love it!"

"Thanks, I hoped you'd like it," she said with a smile.

*Later*

"Well, I guess it's time to go," Student said.

"Aw, so soon?" Clara asked.

"Yeah, I guess… Hey… I have an idea," I started, "Clara Davids, how would you like to come with us?"

"Come WITH you? I don't know…" she said.

"I know it's a hard thing to decide, whether or not to just leave your whole life behind and come on a dangerous, but amazing adventure through time and space, and I won't make you do anything you don't want to. But if you would like to come with us, we'd be happy to have you along," I said.

"I'm sorry… I don't think I can do it… but come back to visit, you hear?" she asked.

"Loud and clear. Goodbye Clara Davids," I said as I walked into the TARDIS.

Just as I was closing the door, I heard, "Wait! I do want to go!" I opened the door and pulled Clara in.

"Let's go on an adventure."
