"See you in a bit Doctor!" Martha said as she waved and walked out of the TARDIS.
"Stay out of trouble! I'll be back in no time!" the Doctor shouted behind her, laughing.
Martha Jones was dressed in a pink frilly outfit that she had picked up from her mum the last time she visited Earth. After the Year That Never Happened, her parents decided to give it another go, but this dress was absolutely horrid. It wasn't her choice, but if her and her sister, Tish, wanted to be bride's maids in their parents' wedding, they had to suffer with the dresses for the night, because they would be a family again for the rest of their lives.
"Martha Jones," the Doctor grinned to himself as he stepped outside and closed the TARDIS door, "Hm, better find a parking spot."
The TARDIS dematerialized into thin air.
Across town, in an average flat, a young girl with fair skin and long black hair was putting the last perfectly folded t-shirt into her backpack when she heard that sound.
The sound of the universe, as some would call it.
She had heard so many stories of the Doctor and his adventures on that long phone call from so many miles away, a place that was considered impossible even. She had listened contently to all the stories about cat people, New New York, the Face of Boe, Daleks, and everything else and she was definitely ready to be a part of the stuff of legends, just like her friend had been.
She smiled and zipped up her backpack. As she walked out of the room, she looked out the window one last time and saw the blue box.
Once the Doctor landed, he licked his finger and stuck it up in the air. The sun was shining, wind was moving South East and London was the safest place in the world.
This meant only one thing: it was time to find a good chip shop.
"HEY! HEY! YOU! DOCTOR!"
He gasped and turned around, a bit confused, and saw the girl with the fair skin and black hair running towards him at full speed and her arms were flailing around. Once she reached him, she stopped and bent forward, hands on knees, and catching her breath.
She finally finished and looked up at him, "You're the Doctor, and I've been looking for you."
"Um…yes, hello!" The Doctor finally replied, having a chance to speak, "And…you are?"
"Oh yes," She chuckled and realized she had never introduced herself, "I'm Tristan."
