Greetings I am MorningDawn,
I will not do pairings, maybe later, I haven't quite decided and you never really know what the future holds. This is a clean story, I do not swear. The most I would say is bloody.
So if you have any questions review and ask. I do ask for no flames. I will help the best I can to clear any confusion you might have, updates, i'm not entirely sure it really depends upon if I get a review or not. Now I won't keep talking, so please enjoy the story.

"Happy birthday!" Everyone cheered. Erica ran up and hugged her sister. While her other hand holding a Sprite. She grinned and pulled away. Her sister Kyla blushed she was just wearing some casual clothes and this was her twenty first birthday. She smiled and let Erica grab her hand and pull her into the party.

Thirty minutes later Erica noticed the door opened and in stepped a woman. Very tall. But also Erica noticed that she was wearing heels. Well they were boot heels. This woman was dress in black all black. Her rich brown hair tied up. She held a strange contraption in her hand. It looked like some sort of sort of sattlight. And wires connecting it together. Erica frowned at her. And walked over. She asked politely.
"Excuse me. But who are you?" the lady looked up at her. Her intense green eyes pierced into Erica's blue ones. She replied stiffly.
"None of your business." And moved past Erica who looked at the place where she stood and blinked with surprise. Before gathering anger. She spun around sharply and ordered.
"Come back here!" no one else in the party took notice not even the woman. Erica went over and grabbed her by the shoulder. The woman frustrated turned around sharply.
"What do you want?" Erica answered exasperated.
"Your name. Why you're here." The woman rolled her eyes and answered plainly.
"Dakota, this thing went beep." She held up the device and assuming the conversation was over turned away sharply. And walked off. Erica blinked for a moment before remembering and went after Dakota. She fell in step with the woman and asked.
"What is that thing?" Dakota glared at the air in front of her and answered annoyed.
"An alien detector that goes beep." Erica blinked.
"Alien?" Dakota frustrated turned and faced Erica she asked.
"Yes alien. Now who are you?" Erica was about to answer but then was cut off with the detector thingy went beep. Dakota's attention drifted to the contraption and her eyes widened. "Okay yes now I have to go." She glanced at Erica. "Nice to meet you." She paused and then added before racing out the door. "I guess." And then she left. Leaving Erica. The human looked around at her sister's party. And contemplated. Before huffing and taking off her bright red heels and taking off out the door. After the strange woman before her.

The Guardian raced down the sidewalk. Heading for Mum. Once arrived she grabbed the door handles of a navy blue police box and pulled them open. She raced inside but didn't shut the doors. She raced to the silver console. And then went around it. Grabbed a laptop with the British Flag for a cover. She opened it and sat down. Her fingers flew across the keyboard searching for abnormal news. She was so absorbed in her work that she didn't notice Erica walk inside and gasp. Still didn't notice her when she raced back outside and then back inside. The Time-Lady did notice her when she exclaimed loudly mind you.
"It's bigger in the inside!" The Guardian's gaze shot up she looked to find the woman from the party. The one in the red dress with the annoying questions. She put her computer down and exclaimed flustered.
"Oi!" the woman's gaze drifted to the alien. She asked. "What are you doing in here?"
~8~
Erica flinched. Dakota did not look happy with her. The human stammered out.
"I…uh….um." she paused to gather her thoughts. A little shaken with being under the gaze of angry green eyes. "I just wanted to know what was going on." She looked at Dakota hoping but for a moment the woman stayed silent as if evaluating her. Unblinking. Erica started to wonder what she had gotten herself into by following her. Finally Dakota spoke up.
"Slitheen." Erica asked confused now.
"What?" Dakota rolled her eyes and explained annoyed.
"I was hunting an alien race the Slitheens. But suddenly the signal stopped. And my beepy thingy." She held up the device for Erica to see. "Led me to the closest alien tech. My ship." Erica took a step back. As Dakota went behind a console and made her disappear from Erica's sight.
"You're not going to abduct me or anything right?" Dakota's head appeared from behind the console. And she asked confused.
"Um…why would I do that?" Erica wondered.
"Your alien right?" her head disappeared again yet her voice carried over to Erica's ears.
"Well that depends." She poked her head out from behind the console to look at Erica. "You're the alien from my perspective." Then she disappeared again. Erica hesitantly made her way over and asked.
"So what you're from mars or something?" Dakota appeared right in front of her and tilted her head to the side and inquired.
"Do I look like I'm from Mars?" she grabbed her hair and looked at it. Before muttering. "Haven't really gotten to look yet." she then spun around on the heel of her boot and expected Erica to leave. But the human wouldn't give up that easy.
"No…you don't but uh what kind of alien are you? Is Dakota even your real name?" with a huff Dakota was right in front of her again.
"Time-Lord, no, it's The Guardian." She poked Erica in the nose and said. "Now my question. Can you use those feet to walk?" Erica nodded confused. Apparently the Guardian beamed at her and then answered.
"Good, that's good." She then turned Erica around and pushed her out the doors. And then locked them behind her. Erica stared at the street in front up her flustered. She got out of her shock and whipped around. She banged on the doors angrily. Suddenly a wheezing noise flooded Erica's ears. She took a step back as the box started to disappear. She looked at her street on last time before grabbing onto the box. Disappearing with it. She let out a scream as pain hit her.
~0~
"Humans." The Guardian muttered under her breath. She then looked up at her glowing console and smiled. "So where to now Mum?" She flicked a switch and then heard a wheezing which sounded like Mum was struggling. She patted the console and asked concerned. "You okay?" Mum hummed in disagreement. The Guardian concerned pulled monitor around. She checked the settings. Only for her eyes to grow wide at the sight of the human in a red dress hanging onto the Tardis screaming for her life. She exclaimed. "You stupid girl!" she landed the Mum somewhere and saw the girl fall to the ground. She raced to the doors and pushed them open. She saw her on the ground. And rushed to her side. She checked her over and groaned. With a huff she hauled her to her feet and lugged her arm around the Time-lady's shoulder. And half carried half dragged her back to Mum. She said as the doors shut behind her. "Were in Cardiff. You can recharge." And then she went to the med bay.
~0~
Erica woke in the med bay. She felt dizzy and wossy. But she sat up anyhow. She looked around to see where she was. To find it some sort of hospital room. Still in her dress. But her heels rested on a table. She blinked and stood on her bare feet. She grabbed her heels and walked out of the room. And down the halls. Lights guiding her along. Until she reached a large silver room. She was in the ship of that Guardian woman. She called out.
"Da-Guardian?" suddenly sparks flared everywhere. And Erica heard a loud and sharp.
"Ouch!" and then a thud. She blinked and walked over where she had heard the thud. To find the Guardian on the ground with her rich brown hair charred and sticking up in all directions she looked like a mad scientist. Erica asked concerned.
"Are you okay?" the Guardian looked up from her spot on the floor. That's when Erica noticed she didn't have her leather jacket on. It was hanging on the railing. She was in a sleeveless black shirt. She replied sarcastically.
"Oh yeah. Fantastic. My hair just randomly sticks up!" Erica smirked and shrugged.
"Well you're an alien. Never know." At that point the Guardian scowled at the human before her. And then even in the dim light Erica noticed that her face was also charred. With smut. The Guardian hefted herself to her feet. And then tried to smooth down her hair only to be shocked. She hissed and shook her hand. Erica covered her mouth to keep from giggling. The Time-lady looked up and asked.
"What?" Erica managed to get out.
"Your hair….." before hunching over laughing. The Guardian glared at her. Suddenly both were startled when a sharp knock on the door. The Guardian frowned but Erica asked. "What was that?" the Guardian looked at her.
"What do you think?" Erica gave her a blank look the Guardian rolled her eyes and said. "Someone is knocking at the door." They waited as the person at the door knocked again. The Guardian pondered for a moment and Erica asked.
"Well are you going to get it?" the Guardian shot to her feet and ran of the stairs her boots pounding on the metal ground.
~8~
The Guardian went to the door and opened it. To find a man who for a very odd reason the Guardian felt sick looking at. She asked sharply for some reason her irritation enraged.
"What do you want?" he blinked at her and said.
"I'm looking for the Doctor." He peered around her. "Is he here?" this time the Guardian blinked and asked.
"Doctor? Doctor who?" the guy looked at her confused.
"This is the Tardis right?"
"It's a Tardis."
"You don't know who the Doctor is do you?"
"Nope. Should I?"
"Yeah…kind of."
"Why?"
"Cause this is a Tardis. And there is only one Tardis left and it's his."
"No this is mine."
"No. It's his."
"Mine!"
"His!"
"Mine!"
"His!"
"Were not going to agree are we?"
"No."
"How can I prove it?"
"Who are you?" he asked. She then pointed at the symbol on the door.
"I'm the Guardian." He blinked and asked.
"Guardian of what?" she stared at him like he was stupid like most humans were.
"The universe. What else?"
"Ooh sorry but that job is already taken." She narrowed her eyes.
"By who?"
"The Doctor."
"And who is that?" he opened his mouth. Only for her to change her mind. "Ah, wait a minute." she glared. "I don't care. Go away." With that she shut the doors and raced to the console. She called down. "Erica! Erica where are you?" Erica came up the stairs. Still in her party dress. Not having the mind to change. But now she had the Guardian's jacket on. She asked curious.
"Yes?" the Guardian looked up to reply but then saw her jacket on Erica. She huffed.
"Gimme!" Erica pouted and threw the jacket over. The Guardian pulled it on and said. "I'm taking you home." Erica's pout changed into pleading.
"No….please I want to travel with you." The Guardian looked up at Erica for a moment her hard eyes softened. And Erica felt hope. But then they hardened again. She replied sharply.
"It's too dangerous. You can't." Erica went up to her and begged.
"Please…..I don't care. Just don't make me go back." The Guardian looked at her. For a long moment she opened her mouth to say something but seemed to change her mind. She sighed before grabbing the leaver. Erica seeing this jumped up excited. "Yay! Where are we going?"
"Um what is your name?" Erica introduced.
"Erica Stone." The Guardian nodded.
"Yes right Erica." She answered his other question. "Where we are going…" she looked to Erica. For a moment. The human could just see the wheels turning in her mind. Until she sighed and said. "Everywhere." Then she pulled down a leaver.
