Summary: Amy finds an alien in her backyard, Rory get's interrupted, Mickey get's insulted and Rose develops a crush; just average life really...
Ok, well. This is worrying. I got 13 emails telling me all sorts of people have favourited/reviewed/story alerted this fic. And I haven't even started it. No pressure there then.
Anyway, here's chapter one! If you don't like it, stick around, you might like chapter two. This is all gonna be third person; buuuut, I might start doing it from certain character's POV. Not decided yet, tell me what you'd prefer.
Anyway, tell me if it's any good; if not, tell me where it needs improving. Well... I guess this it... Geronimo!
BOOM!
Amy sat up immediately.
"What the heck was that?" She rubbed her eyes, and checked her alarm clock. "Urgh... it's too early." She climbed out of bed and dragged herself to the window. "What the hell is that?" In her garden, was a tall, blue box.
(Several hours later)
Amy's alarm clock started its persistent assault on her ear drums... AGAIN. Wait... that wasn't her alarm clock. Amy opened her eyes. The first thing she saw, was the Doctor. Scratch that; the first thing she saw was a bright green light, coupled with a high pitched whirring noise. She sat up quickly... It wasn't a dream.
...
(08:45)
"Will you stop it!" Amy snapped.
The Doctor had stopped (again, Amy might add) to examine (yet another) flower. "Interesting." Was all he said.
"It's a flower."
The Doctor looked at her with confusion. "Not the flower. I'm referring to how your hormones are having a negative effect on you. You're grumpy."
"That is because YOU woke me up too early... TWICE! And stop talking like that; you already stick out like a saw thumb with the bow tie."
"Bow ties are cool."
...
(09:08)
Amy shuffled through the crowded corridors nervously; how was she going to get away with this? What if someone found out? What if someone locked her up for harbouring an alien? She could go to prison! Amy smacked her forehead, banishing her over dramatic thoughts.
"Hello, are you from Earth? You don't really look human." Amy heard the Doctor say. She turned on her heel at an alarming speed. What the heck was he doing! Oh no... The Doctor was talking to Rory.
Rory opened his mouth to talk, but the Doctor was quick to interrupt.
"Hold on, that was rude wasn't it? I keep forgetting how easily offended humans are; you understand, don't you?" Again, Rory tried to speak, but was interrupted by the Doctor.
"Hang on; we're doing this in the wrong order aren't we? Hello, I'm the Doctor."
Rory didn't attempt to talk this time.
"No, wait. I should be asking for your name, shouldn't I? No... I'm supposed to allow you to introduce yourself aren't I? Wait! I've been interrupting you, haven't I?"
This time, the Doctor was interrupted, by the school bell. He quickly put his hands to his ears to block the sound.
"Ow! What is that!" He reached into his jacket pocket, and withdrew his sonic screwdriver. Within a second, the bell had stopped. "There, no need to worry about that again."
Amy raced up to the Doctor; "What the hell are you doing?"
"There was a problem with that...thing. It was malfunctioning, making a loud noise. Don't worry though; I fixed it."
Rory looked at Amy with confusion.
"He's an exchange student." She explained (lamely, she might add).
...
(09:15)
"So, explain it to me again?" The Doctor was sitting next to Martha Jones, in a history class.
"Well, we sit here, and learn stuff." She explained.
"Ah... I see." The Doctor lied. "So... we insert these things into our ears, and download the information into our brains?"
Martha laughed (hysterically, the Doctor might add). "No... That's a pencil, we write with them."
"Oh... I see."
A man entered the room, an old man, wearing a tweed jacket and hat. The man carried an air of authority and grace about him; he was the sort of man you'd want to get along with, but also someone who you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of.
"Good morning class. I'm you're new history teacher; you can call me Mr. Lethbridge-Stewart. Now, we'll have none of this messing about in my class. I was a brigadier once, and I intend to run this class in a similar fashion."
"Well, there goes me attending history ever again." Jack declared, earning a high-five from Mels and a laugh from the rest of the class.
The brig looked at Jack, and smiled. "Well, that's a relief."
A number of 'Oooh's broke out from the class. Jack shut up, and pretended not to be interested.
"Now, I'm going to ask each of you to say your name, and tell me a little about yourself." The brig said, with a calm voice. "Starting with you, at the back."
The girl at the back introduced herself. "My name's Ace. And I've got a thing for explosives." Ace put emphasis on that last word.
The brig shook his head, and motioned to the next one.
"I'm Jack. And I've got a thing for everyone."
"My name's Mels."
"Wouldn't you like to tell us something about yourself?" The brig asked.
"Nah, it's alright gramps." Again, the class laughed.
"Nice to know, for such a narcissist, you still have a sense of humour." The brig replied, which got a much bigger laugh. "Next."
After a few more introductions, the brig reached the Doctor.
"And you?"
"Me? Erm... I'm just you're average teenager. You know, I like... playing with Lego and taking my pet raccoon for a walk. Erm... yeah, I love writing letters to my friends...and...and...you know, hanging on street corners with my Nan and her pals. You know; teenage stuff."
Amy's head hit the desk. The awkward silence that followed was unbearable.
"Quite." The brig said.
...
(12:00)
Amy, Rory, Mickey, Rose and the Doctor were all sitting at a table eating lunch.
"So... where ya from?" Rose asked.
"Oh... all over. But originally, I'm from Gallifrey."
"That in Ireland?" She asked.
"What? No, it's-"
Amy interrupted him. "He means yes."
"Do I? Oh yes! Of course, Yeah."
Rose wasn't sure what it was, but she kinda liked this guy. Yeah, ok, he was a bit weird, but she sort of fancied him. Mickey was thinking the exact same thing. Well, not the exact same thing; he was thinking that Rose fancied him. And, being Rose's boyfriend, it made him jealous.
"So, Ricky-"
"It's Mickey."
"Ricky."
Rose laughed, but went quiet when Mickey glared at her.
"What's your favourite class?"
Amy talked over Mickey's response. "Ok, enough with the boring questions. Seriously Doctor, who cares?"
The Doctor looked offended, but shut up nevertheless.
"Anyway" Mickey started. "Who calls themselves the Doctor? Doctor Who?"
The Doctor slammed both his hands on the desk and stood up. "NO! It's not 'Doctor Who'; it's THE DOCTOR. Seriously, when will you people get it into your thick, primitive heads?"
"Whoa chill. I don't think Mickey meant any offence." Amy interrupted.
Rose had kinda blanked out, and began staring at the Doctor's eyes. This was kinda cut short when the Doctor was knocked to the floor. Wait? WHAT!
Rose looked up to see who had pushed the Doctor to the floor. Oh...
It was Davros, the leader of the 'Dalek' gang.
"Hey, watch where you're going" Davros snarled.
The Doctor got up, and looked at Davros. "Sorry, I think you're mistaken. It was you who pushed me; so, theoretically, you should be watching where you're going. I think that's right, isn't it?"
"What? I'll teach you the folly of your words, mate." And, naturally, Davros hit the Doctor.
...
(12:45)
"Ow... my head..." The Doctor woke up in a strange room; it stunk of sweat and... Perfume. Hmm, he seemed to be in some sort of changing room, that explained the sweat; but where was the- oh. Rose was holding a wet flannel to his forehead. Oh, well... how was he supposed to react around a girl? I mean, it was alright with Amy, because she kept shouting at him. But Rose, she was all kind and sweet. Well, here goes.
"Oh, hello. You're Rose? I'm the Doctor. No... hang on.. we've done this bit." Great, he'd messed up already.
Surprisingly, Rose just sort of giggled. "It's ok. You don't have to talk, you know. I just offered to take care of you. I mean, Mickey wasn't too happy about it, but Rory said something about him an' Craig goin' to see a football match and he went with them." Great, now she was rambling. She really kinda liked this guy, and she didn't have a clue why. "Anyway... erm, how long you gonna be stayin?"
"No idea. For a long time by the looks of it. Which, isn't that bad I suppose." The Doctor wanted out of this situation, he was no good with girls. "Well, I think I should get going. English isn't it?
Rose seemingly snapped out of her daydream. "Yeah, and you're gonna love Miss Smith."
...
(01:05)
"Right" Miss Smith started. "I'd like us to do some group work."
The Doctor really liked Miss Smith; she seemed like a really nice person. She always spoke with such a calm, friendly manner; unlike the headmaster, Mr Finch, who always looked at his pupils like he wanted to eat them. "So; Donna, Jack and Jenny: find a table and I'll explain your task. Mels, Ace and Rory, you're the next group. Amy, Mickey and Craig, you're together. Now, that just leaves Rose, Adam and..."
The Doctor snapped out of his daydream. "Just call me the Doctor."
"Right... and the Doctor. You all sit on this table."
After, Miss Smith had explained her task (unsuccessfully as the Doctor kept interrupting, something about how he thought Miss Smith would be excellent at fighting Zygons) the group started their work.
Adam, much like a couple of other students (notably: Craig, Jack, Amy and of course Mickey) had a big crush on Rose.
"Right; Adam, you do the writing. Rose, you can draw the pictures. And I'll come up with all the ingenious ideas. If we go about this correctly, we can decimate the other teams with a solid three point two plan." The Doctor declared, with a face as serious as Mr Finch when someone makes a 'Giles' joke.
Adam looked at the Doctor, and then at Rose, with a questioning look. Strangely, Rose just smiled, like this was completely normal. Hmmm, as much as he hated to admit it, he was really insecure around Rose. He had a habit of thinking that she fancied every guy she spoke to. This only made things worse when she started going out with Mickey. I mean, what did she see in him? At least you could understand why Amy was with Rory; they had known each other since the age of six. But Mickey? Come on! Mickey doesn't deserve someone like Rose; Rose deserved someone like Adam... or so he liked to tell himself.
"Oh no..." Miss Smith was staring out of the window. "Leela's on the roof again. Excuse me, class."
The second she was gone, Jack, Mels and Ace had raced out of the class room. And straight into Mr Finch.
"And where do you think you're going?" He said, with that evil smile plastered all over his face.
Jack gulped, and the three of them sloped back to their seats.
"Ah, Adam; would you mind taking a trip to my office?"
Adam froze on the spot. "Y-yes sir."
After Finch and Adam had left, Rose wondered if anyone would ever see Adam again. Fortunately, (or unfortunately, depending on which way you looked at it) this left Rose and the Doctor alone.
"So, I get it. You got the popular kids, that's Jack, Mels and Ace. You got the nerds, Martha, Rory and Adam. You got the cheerleaders, that'd be you, Amy and Christina. And the bullies, as in the Daleks, Cybermen and Sontarans." The Doctor mused. "Yeah, I think I'm gonna fit in just fine."
ANNNNNNNND BOOSH!
Ok that's it for chapter one, tell me what you think about it. I think this chapter was a little short compared to the what the others are gonna be, but I just wanted to get the whole "introductory chapter" outta the way. This was more of an introduction to the characters than anything else; there wasn't much in the way of a storyline. Anyway, if it's a load of crap, don't feel afraid to tell me. I'll get another chapter up hopefully sometime next week, and that's when the story really get's going.
