Prologue
The Doctor found no comfort in the typical hum and murmur of his time machine. The Doctor stood sternly with both hands quietly gripping levers on the time machines central console. Naturally he was more casual and friendly with the machine, because after all, the time machine was a complex living creature. They were not constructed, they were grown, and because so the Doctor created an emotional bond with the machine. The machine was even give a name, Tardis, an acronym meaning Time and Relative Dimension in Space. It was a name that he grew fond of, and so did the time machine. He was positive the Tardis knew exactly what was wrong with the Doctor, asit seemed to wheeze quieter than usual as it glided through space and time with no destination in particular. It was like his Tardis knew something was missing, or rather some people in this case.
So many companions had joined the Doctor and his Tardis on their travels across time and space, and he could never forget a single one of them. His recent companions always seemed to face fates worse than death, and the Doctor was overwhelmed with guilt. He never meant for things to happen to any of them, it was just that they got into situations that even the Doctor himself couldn't get them out of. Rose became the girl forever trapped in a parallel universe, Martha became broken hearted and soldier-like, and Donna was forced to remove all memories of the Doctor.
Then there was Amy Williams, and her husband Rory. These were the only companions he became familiar with in his current incarnate. Due to a freak encounter with a weeping angel, Rory was touched by the angel and was transported to a different point in time; unable to return. To the Doctors shock, Amy decided to let the angel touch her in the hopes of reconnecting with him. It was an act of suicide in the Doctor's eyes.
The two were reconnected and ended up living long happy lives together in a different time period, while the Doctor was rattled with the sudden deaths of his friends. By the time they lived their lives together and died, they were already long dead in the Doctor's timeline. The last memory he had of Amy was her perilous sobs for her husband's return, until of course she gave her life. He now hung with guilt as he felt it was his fault for letting the weeping angel get to his friends and removing them from this timeline. If only he hadn't let his guard down for those few seconds…
He truly felt like the loneliness person in the universe. He had a destroyed home world, no family, a wife that sporadically appears and disappears at will, and no companion at his side. There was no point in travelling throughout all time and space if there was no one to share it with. The Doctor couldn't help but feel like the plague; a man designed to forever walk alone. There was no way he would let another soul face end up the same way as so many others before. Even with two hearts, the guilt hung even stronger.
The Tardis suddenly made a veer to the right, and the Doctor was flung to the hard ground. As the Doctor tried to regain his footing, the Tardis suddenly seemed to make a collision as if it was crashing through a wall. The time machine began to shake violently, the dashboard blinked wildly, and his time machine started to make chaotic beeping noises. The Doctor's hearts beat wildly as he was unsure what in the world he ran into.
He was in the middle of uninhabited space after all.
The Doctor jumped to his feet and grabbed onto the central console for stability. He began to wildly switch levers and press buttons in the hopes of helping the Tardis return to an equilibrium. The Doctor felt the whoosh of the Tardis as he felt the machine sink into a free fall. He spoke to the machine in a rapid panic. "Oh please don't tell me we are being sucked into a black hole. Are your stabilizers shot? What did we run into? Were you asleep at the controls again…? And why oh why are you not following your control commands?" He slammed his hand on a green blinking button, which made the Tardis sputter in response. "Oh don't give me that sass mouth. What do you mean you have to land? I never instructed a landing. I don't even know where we are…" The Doctor trailed off as he stumbled to the other side of the console, grabbing the hanging console screen and swinging it around to face him. The screen was connected to a camera just outside the Tardis. He flicked on the screen to see his Tardis was in free fall into an unknown planet.
His eyes widened. "Oh nononono, this isn't good, not good at all." He looked sternly at the Tardis, still desperately gripping the console. He watched the screen intensively as he could now make out a city underneath his feet. "What's gotten into you?" He listened to the Tardis before blubbering on, "Wait, that was a collision with a barrier just now, and that collision has cut off your stabilizers? Preposterous..."
"What kind of barrier is there in the middle of empty space anyway?" The Doctor thought to himself in disbelief. Noticing that the Tardis was not going to stop it's free fall, the Doctor grabbed tightly onto the console. He forced himself to flash a nervous grin. "Well then, if I can't stop you I guess this is Geronimo!" The Doctor shrieked as his Tardis plummeted to the ground below. He prepared himself for a rough landing, and could only hope his Tardis would at least try and make a discreet landing.

The Tardis made a rough landing with the cement ground, and the Doctor was flung like a ragdoll. He groaned and looked up: sparks were flying out of now loose cables, pipes littered the floor, smoke bellowed out of the control panel, and everything inside the Tardis now looked like a war zone. The Doctor wasn't too worried though because his time machine was capable of self-repairs, which meant when he returned to the Tardis later it would have an entirely new interior. It would show no signs of damage.
Without another word the Doctor jumped to his feet and poked his head out of the doorway. The Tardis was parked in a desolate alleyway, with only distant figures walking past at the end of the alley. He carefully exited it, and made a full circle around the small police box-time machine. Its wooden exterior was scuff free, no cracks in the doors window, nor were there any signs of damage of any kind. The interior was more damaged than the exterior, and it didn't surprise him one bit. The time machines of the time lords were able to withstand damage of any kind.
The Doctor wiped off a few traces of dust from its charming blue walls. "You've still got it old girl." The more he put his Tardis through, the more he became surprised that she wasn't in pieces. Oh how he loved his time machine.
He stepped back inside the Tardis and shut the door. The Doctor adjusted his beige suede jacket and ruffled hair. "Well I hope you're happy. This is entirely your fault, you should have watched where you were flying," he scolded the Tardis, "Looks like we're grounded here until your self-repair mechanism kicks in. I guess that means I'll go explore wherever we are right now. Speaking of which, I don't suppose you can tell me where we've just crash landed?" There was nothing he hated more than not being familiar with his surroundings.
The Doctor waited, and the Tardis slowly let out a wheeze as it brought the cracked console screen back to life for a moment. His eyes widened as the screen blinked in response, Magical Dimension: Magix City.
Here's the relatively short prologue to Doctor Winx, introducing how the Doctor got into the Magical Dimension and briefly explaining recent events in the "Who-niverse". The main plot is still under development, so do not expect the first chapter until I have all my thoughts organized.
