The Doctor is alone in the Tardis console room, just hanging around in space, when suddenly the Tardis shudders and the Doctor is thrown back on the sofa chair.
"What the hell was that?"
He stood up and steadied himself and checked the main monitor. Something strange was flying off to the right. Not a regular space ship, not a shooting star but something completely different. Something with a beautiful gold halo around it. It is something that seems very alien to the Doctor but very familiar in equal measure. The Doctor fired up the Tardis and set off after the mysterious gold object.
"Oi! Come back 'ere" he said, with annoyance. "You just bumped my Tardis!"
He tries to get within range of it to pick up any signal or explanation as to its origin, but every time he gets near it seems to speed up, like its running away from something.
The Doctor pulls his glasses out of his jacket pocket, puts them on and leans into the monitor.
"What are you?" he whispers to himself. "Not mauve so you're not a big threat, so what are you then?"
The computer beeped, giving out anticipated co-ordinates of where the mysterious vessell might be heading for. The nearest one was Earth.
"Heading for Earth are ya? What you wanna go there for?" The Doctor said tapping the monitor.
A couple of sections later the Tardis landed on Earth, Newcastle to be exact. Once the Tardis landed, the Doctor rushed out and looked around. He was standing in a supermarket car park. Just a regular supermarket car park. Asda. He ran around dodging people with trolleys stacked high with shopping and narrowly avoided being ran over by cars as he dashed around trying to locate the mysterious object.
"It must be somewhere here!" he mumbled to himself, as he wandered back to the Tardis, intent on finding whatever it was.
As he neared the Tardis, situated at the left-hand corner of the car park he noticed a Mini Cooper parked several feet away from the Tardis A gold Mini Cooper. It seemed odd because it was park diagonally across 2 space but that wasn't the only reason it seemed odd, all the windows were blacked out. Not just tinted but completely blacked out. Just as the Doctor went to go over to it, the driver's door opened and a young women stepped out. The Doctor only got a quick glimpse of her face before she turned her head. She looked quite young, no older than about 24. She had long, slightly curly brown hair and was dressed in a blue velvet jacket, with a short black dress on underneath and was wearing a pair of dark blue denim go-go boots. The Doctor stood still for a couple of minutes, completely mesmerized by her. For some reason he could not even think, he just kept staring at her like he was transfixed.
"Who is she?" he thought to himself after a moment. He had never seen her before in his life, yet he felt like he'd known her all his life. Like a long lost friend. He still stood in the same spot just watching her.
She had got out of the car now, and was looking around with a bewildered look on her face. She looked directly up at the sky and squinted at the sun. Then a smile appeared at her lips, which quickly spread into a wide grin. Without warning she suddenly jumped a couple of feet in the air and shouted "YES!" and started move her arms as in a celebratory dance fashion. She then reached into her jacket and pulled a strange looking metal device shaped like a cross with a small monitor in the middle and lights and buttons on the outer parts. She pressed a few of the buttons a gave it a smack a couple of times, before holding it up high into the sky. The device made a low beeping sound as she brought it down and looked into the monitor.
ERROR was all it said.
She frowned at the monitor, pressed a couple of buttons and held it up again. It beeped and she looked at the monitor again.
ERROR again.
"Come on, what's wrong with you?" she said to device, smacking against her left hand. "You can't need new batteries because you don't use batteries!"
From a few feet away the Doctor was still watching the mysterious woman. She was obviously having trouble with some piece of machinery. The Doctor was going to go over to her and ask who she was but something was holding him back. Curiosity. He wanted to watch and see what she was doing rather than go up and ruin the moment. There was just something about this woman…
For the third time she held up the device.
"Come on! Come on! Come on!" she begged.
Again the device beeped and brought it back down again. When she looked at the reading she felt all the air leave her body.
