Author's note: I'm sort of writing this as I go... I'm extremely happy with where this is going right now, though! I wrote this when I realized that the season 5 premiere of Warehouse 13 airs tonight then I got super depressed when I also realized that that means there's only going to be six episodes left until it's over /3 Anyways, enjoy! Please don't judge it too hard right now... I'll probably go back and edit stuff later on.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of Warehouse 13 or Doctor Who! The whole "Claudia travels with the Doctor" plotline has been used before, I'm sure, but I thought I might give my own spin on it. :)

3:22AM…

Claudia rolled over with a groan. She couldn't fall asleep even though she had gone to bed at 10:00PM.

She sat up and threw her feet onto the floor. She rubbed her forehead with one hand just above her right eyebrow; it was where she always got headaches and she had a pounding one right now.

She'd been the caretaker for two weeks now and she had nights like these every other night. It was extremely draining.. She had considered talking to someone about it but decided it would pass, her mind was probably just trying to process all this information, right? Whatever it was, she was sick of not sleeping and just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

Claudia sighed and ran her fingers through her fiery red hair before flopping back onto the pillow and squeezing her eyes shut. Might as well try to sleep while I can.. She thought grumpily.

THUMP!

Claudia jolted awake when there was a loud thud from downstairs. There was an indistinct voice which seemed to be cursing softly.

She glanced over at the alarm clock on the night stand.

4:47AM.

Whoever's down there better have a pretty darn good reason for being so loud.. Claudia rolled out of bed and crept down the hall so the floor didn't creak and wake anyone else up. She walked softly down the stairs, the hard wood was cold against her bare feet.

She heard some shuffling coming from the kitchen as she approached the door. She opened it and peeked in to see an unfamiliar man moving around the B&B's kitchen. He had a strange blinking device in his hand that illuminated his face a bit.

He had a narrow nose and thick, messy brown hair. The mystery man also wore a brown pinstripe suit with a longer brown coat over top. He was muttering things to himself as he walked around the room and messed with the device.

Claudia silently backed away from the door and down the hall until she came to the table in the middle of the hall. She quietly opened the small drawer and grabbed the Mini Tesla they kept stored by the wooden duck disguised as an alarm. When she had picked it up she moved back to the kitchen door.

She paused at the door for a moment to listen.

Ding! "Oh! That's brilliant!" The man said quietly but with excitement.

What the heck is he doing in there? She thought curiously. And who is he? No point waiting to find out, I guess..

She stealthily slipped through the door, flipped on the kitchen light, and pointed the now powered up Tesla at the man in one swift motion. "Put the thingy on the counter and don't make a sound." She ordered. The man complied and set the device and the counter and backed away with his hands up in surrender. "Now tell me who you are, what do you want, and what is that?" She gestured to the machine sitting on the counter.

"I'm the Doctor, I'm here following a trail. And that's my time-wimey detector - it goes 'ding!' when there's stuff."

Claudia tried to ignore the insanity of what he just said and asked the most logical question she could think of, "Doctor who?"

"Just the Doctor."

"Well, Doctor, I don't know what trail you're following but right now you're guilty of breaking and entering."

"No, not breaking and entering! Sonicing and entering; completely different thing!" He slowly reached for his pocket and pulled out a slim rod of metal with a blue light on top.

"What's that?" asked Claudia curiously. She new technology but she'd never seen something like that before..

"A sonic screwdriver."

"A screwdriver?" she snorted.

"Sonic screwdriver! You want to see how it works?" Without waiting for a reply he pointed the sonic screwdriver at her Tesla and pushed a button that lit the end up. The Tesla immediately stopped whirring and turned off.

Claudia looked at the Tesla then back at the sonic screwdriver. "How did you do that?"

"Wibbly wobbly sciencey stuff.." The Doctor squinted and scratched the back of his head.

"Try me."

The Doctor smiled, unexpectedly pleased. "The sonic uses sound waves to do many different things – like unlock doors –" he jabbed his thumb at their backdoor. Claudia nodded to show she followed. "it's quite useful. Don't know what I'd do without it." He tossed it from his right hand to his left and back. "But that," he pointed to the Tesla in Claudia's hand. "I've never seen that design of one of those before - which is rare; you'd be surprised how much I've seen - so who was that designed by?"

"It's a Tesla gun. Invented by Nicola Tesla." Claudia explained briefly.

"Ah, Tesla! Lovely man! Bit unstable… shame the way he turned out in the end."

"You act like you knew him." She furrowed her brow in confusion. Man… this guy is weird.

"Oh, yes. We were good friends. Helped him out with some of his designs!"

"You? Helped Nicola Tesla? Okay, you need some serious help."

"Oh, did I forget to mention it?"

"Mention what?" The red-headed girl asked a little cautiously.

"I'm a time traveler. That's my time machine." He pointed at the window that looked out into the backyard of the Bed and Breakfast.

Claudia moved over to the window and looked out into the night. Sitting in the empty lawn was a large, blue box with a light on top.

She read the label on top and turned back to the Doctor with a confused look. "Police Box?"

"That's just its disguise. The chameleon circuit malfunctioned a while back and it's been stuck on that setting ever since. It's really grown on me, though."

"Seems too small to be a time machine. How does it work?" She asked with doubt in her voice. This man is absolutely insane.

"It's called the TARDIS – Time And Relative Dimension In Space – it's bigger on the inside."

"But… that's impossible."

"I could show you, if you'd like." He pointed the sonic screwdriver at the backdoor and opened without even moving from the spot.

Claudia silently moved forward. She wasn't sure why, but she was intrigued… a mysterious man shows up at night in your house and offers to show you his time machine? Sure! What could go wrong?
