You know the world can see us, in a way that's different than who we are

As Gabriella and Troy stopped singing, Gabriella spotted a man in a brown suit and a long coat standing near one of the exits. "Where have I seen him before" she thought to herself. The audience exploded with applause. The Twinkle Town winter musical was finally over and the two stars had a big chemistry test to study for.

"See you tomorrow," Troy said when the curtains dropped as he ran off to talk to his basketball buddies.

"Bye Troy!" she called after him. Little did he know that he would definitely NOT see her tomorrow. As Gabriella wandered towards her dressing room she noticed that man again. "Who is he?" she asked herself. She got her stuff and took the staircase down into the hustle of the auditorium.

"Gabby, you were amazing!" said her mother, while pulling her into a hug. The mysterious man smiled and left the auditorium and walked towards the TARDIS which was parked right outside East High.

"Thanks Mom," she replied. "Can we go home now?"

"Of course sweetie." As they left the building and walked into the parking lot and towards their car, Gabriella heard a funny noise.

"What the hell was that?" she said. Suddenly the noise got loader.

"EXTERMINATE!" She turned around and saw a Dalek approaching her. Her mom screamed and ran into the school. Gabriella, having watched many sci-fi shows, knew what to do.

"Stop! I command you to! Who are you?" she said in a very confidant voice. She had no clue what she was going to do, but then again, she never did.

"I am a Dalek," it said. "And you are?"

Just then, the Doctor exited the TARDIS and said.

"Don't involve her in this, she doesn't know what sees talking about. She forgot to take her medication today," he said. "I told her 'if you don't do what the doctor said, you'll never get better.' but no, she doesn't listen!" he exclaimed.

"Yes, that's right, I'm crazy! Really crazy! Like I could have a crazy attack and kill you all..."

"No, no, don't threaten it. It doesn't like that." he said quietly to her.

"Oh."

"Now Dalek, I command you to leave. Now! I dunno why I'm saying that, it's never worked before." Then suddenly Jack jumped out of the TARDIS and shot the Dalek with that really big gun he used in Parting of the Ways (or was it Bad Wolf. Can't remember).

"It's about time, Jack! Did you lose that stop watch Ianto gave you?"

"Oh ha ha, really funny Doctor," Jack said sarcastically. "Oh, who's your new friend?" he said pointing to Gabriella who was peeking out from behind the Doctor.

"This is ummm...what's your name?"

"Gabriella. Gabriella Montez."

"Oh, then Jack, this is Gabriella."

"Hi, I'm Captain Jack Harkness," he said as he shook her hand.

"And I'm the Doctor. Nice to meet you, Gabriella."

"Nice to meet you too, Doctor, and Jack, but can you tell me what the hell that thing was? I mean it was more vicious than Sharpay when she found out Troy and I got a call back for the musical."

"Well, that thing was a Dalek. Very unfriendly race, never liked them much. Anyway, fancy a ride in the TARDIS?" said the Doctor. He usually didn't go around picking up high school girls, but she seemed different somehow.

"Sure..um..what's a TARDIS?" she asked. She normally didn't trust random men, but the Doctor seem so familiar as she thought before, that she kinda trusted him.

"This," he said while patting the box.

"Umm.. it's kinda small isn't it?"

"Trust me, it's bigger on the inside," said Jack with a laugh. He loved sexual innuendo (true dat).

The Doctor then opened the door and she stepped inside.

"Wow. It's-" ---Gabriella

"Huge." ---Jack

"I know. But-" ---Gabriella

"It looks so much smaller on the outside." ---The Doctor

"Yeah, it's so-" ---Gabriella

"Weird" ---Jack and The Doctor

"Yeah" --- Gabriella. "Hold on, wait a minute. How is it like this? This is not something you seen on Earth."

"That's because it's not from Earth," said the Doctor with a smile.

"I knew it! It's..it's...Time-lord...isn't it?" she said. Time-lord? What was that? Did she really just say that? Wow, she questions herself a lot.

"Yes, it is, how did you know that?" chimed in Jack.

"I have no idea, it just came to me," said Gabriella in a minor state of shock. No, her hair didn't turn gray or anything, "a minor state of shock" is just more interesting than saying surprised. You can't blame a girl for trying to be creative!

"Are you human?" said the Doctor. He had a feeling that she wasn't, but he wanted to check anyway.

"Yes, or at least I think so, why? Are you?"

"No. I'm the last of the Time-lords."

"A.K.A. 'the oncoming storm,'" said Jack. He loved that nickname. The Doctor didn't look to him as much of an oncoming storm.

"Ok, so you're telling me you're an alien and I'm in some sort of spaceship?" she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I am being Punk'd?" she thought to herself.

"Yes I am." said the Doctor proudly. He was proud to be the last of his kind, even if it was lonely. At least he had Jack and used to have Rose. Oh, how he loved Rose, but he knew there was no way to bring her back. He was hopeful that this new girl would come along, he kinda liked her (and no not in a sick way, for all you perverts out there! In a father/daughter kind of way. HINT: Important clue for later chapters)

"Wow, I've never met an alien before. Well, I guess I could come with you. I do have a huge test tomorrow, but I could miss it!" She really wanted to go with the Doctor and Jack, she really liked them.

"Did I mention the TARDIS is also a time-machine?" said the Doctor.

"No kidding? Woah, that's really cool. Hold on I'll go tell my mom I'm going."

"Won't she be mad?" asked Jack.

"No, she hates me. Most of the time she's drunk or high and doesn't care about me, so it will be ok with her."

"But she seemed so nice to you after the musical. Oh and by the way, you were brilliant in that!" said the Doctor. He had always liked musicals. In fact, every single incarnation of him did.

"Thanks. She was just putting on a show. She doesn't want other people to know about my abuse."

"Ok go tell your mom, we'll be here," said Jack. He could never understand why people could hurt their own creations like that.

"I will," said Gabriella, as she ran off to tell her mom the good news. As she got closer, she saw her mom in their car ready to drive away. Typical of her mother.

"Mom!" she yelled. "I'm going off with my new friends the Doctor and Jack! Dunno when I'll see you again but bye!"

"Bye and I hope you'll stay with them and never come back!" her mom said as she drove away. Gabriella ran back to the TARDIS and said,

"So, where should we go?"

"Hmmm, oh Doctor, we should take her to that planet with the really good chili! Do you like chili, Gabby? Can I call you that?" asked Jack. Meeting new people made him hyper.

"Yes, and yes."

"Good. Ok then Gabby and Jack. Off to Varox otherwise known as Chili World!"

The TARDIS started to disintegrate and Gabriella smiled, without a thought of Troy on her mind. Well, she was kinda thinking of Gray's Anatomy, because she was trying to remember if she Tivoed it. She did, thank god, because it was a new episode where Meredith thinks McDreamy is an alien. Good episode.

AN: McDreamy is not an alien, I repeat, McDreamy is NOT an alien. However, I am 70 sure George is. just kidding, lol.
