Chapter 1: A Drop-in
Just a normal day in the TARDIS…well, as normal as it can get with Amy, Rory, and The Doctor. "Where should we go this time? How about the planet where people are all ears? Did I ever tell you about there?"
"I think you did…" Amy said, but then she thought about it. "No, hang on. That was your Flesh Ganger…so, basically it was you."
"Really? My Ganger mentioned Daremiah?" The Doctor said, clearly amused by his trait of repetiveness.
"Hang on. You had a Ganger? And when was this?" River asked, curiously.
"Um… right before we found out that Amy wasn't really with us." Rory explained, wanting to be part of the conversation. River nodded.
There was a sudden "Whoosh" as though wind and lightning were happening at the same time. Four heads turned to where the light/sound had emitted from.
There, at the bottom of the stair case near the console, stood a teenage girl. She was dressed in twenty-first century clothing. Black Yoga Pants, an animal print ruffled blouse and silver flip-flops, topped with a black leather, half-length jacket. Her hair was pulled away from her face, aside from her bangs, and was in what looked like a bun made out of a braid. She had golden eye makeup, to match her top, which perfectly accented her eyes, which were bright green, with a touch of grey/blue.
On her waist, sat a gun, a sleek black one, and in her left hand was a bag, also black. But what The Doctor focused on was the object around her right wrist. He was almost positive he'd seen it somewhere before…
"Well…I think I'm just a tad bit early with the timing. Hang on." She started fiddling with the object around her wrist.
"Is that a vortex manipulator?" River asked cautiously, but calmly. She was switching between eyeing that and the girl's gun.
"Well of course it is. What does it look like? A banana? Oh…Now I'm hungry." The girl explained, rudely, yet, she sounded…nice about it. 'I knew it!' The Doctor thought. 'But why is she here? And who is she?'
"Mony." The Doctor shook himself out of his thoughts.
"I'm sorry…what?" He asked.
"You were wondering who I am. My name is Mony." She looked up at everyone. "Oh, don't mind me. Continue on with your conversation about Daremiah." She specifically looked at The Doctor when she said that, almost sadly.
"How did you know we were talking about Daremiah?" Amy asked.
"Clever guess." She spoke without even looking up this time, her frustration with the vortex manipulator showing on her face.
"Liar. You specifically knew what planet we were talking about. You even knew what I was thinking about. I'm not denying that you are clever; I mean you have to be pretty brilliant to teleport into the TARDIS. You should show me how you did that so I can stop it next time." He stared at her, expecting her to explain, or at least ask what a TARDIS is.
'Time And Relative Dimension In Space. I know what a TARDIS is, thanks. And trust me, your security system does NOT get any better." Before he could ask one of the hundreds of questions going through his head, the vortex manipulator started sparking. She quickly ripped it off her wrist and stuffed it into her bag. "Jack is going to kill me if I break this!"
The Doctor walked up to her. "Are you talking about Captain Jack Harkness?" The girl nodded. He looked her over with a look of confusion. "How do you know Jack?" She sighed and sat down on the chair.
"It's…complicated. I've already met him, but judging by the manipulator, he hasn't met me." Mony calmly explained
"What is that supposed to mean?" Rory and Amy asked at the same time.
"Sort of like with The Doctor and River. They didn't meet at the same time…" Mony got interrupted.
"Yes, but we got married… and how did you know about that ANYWAYS?" River said, clearly she was getting angry now.
"Hang on, now. She can answer those questions later…right now, I've got a very important question that cannot be ignored for one more second, and answer me truthfully…What kind of a name is Mony?" The girl literally stared at him for a moment, her expression unreadable. Then without warning, she burst out laughing.
"That would be important to you, wouldn't it?" She said.
"What's that supposed to mean? And anyway, don't you have a last name. Most people have a last name!" The Doctor said, clearly getting frustrated with her cryptic way of speaking.
"You don't! And anyways, I got three, almost four, last names, I just choose to forget them for the moment." Mony argued. River, Rory, and Amy watched the entire time as they argued back and forth, like the children they acted like, well, are.
"How does someone have three-"The Doctor was interrupted by a large crashing sound from outside of the TARDIS. All five of the TARDIS's occupants were thrown around. The Doctor, River and Mony all gathered around the console, each one pressing different buttons, somehow working together like a machine to land the TARDIS. The familiar 'Whoosh, Whoosh' of the TARDIS could be heard. They had landed.
The Doctor turned to Mony. "How come you can fly the TARDIS?"
"I just…can. We should probably see what is outside, and where we are." She responded.
"I vote the new girl goes." Rory said. Mony looked at him. "What? You have a gun!"
"So does River AND you have a sword."
"Yeah, but we don't know you." Amy said. Mony glared at her, and then unclipped her gun from her holster. She cautiously walked up to the TARDIS doors, and calmly opened them. When she peered outside the doors, she just stood in shock and dropped her gun onto the TARDIS floor.
"Doctor!" She called back to him. "You better come take a look at this." The Doctor looked at River, Rory, and Amy, shrugged his shoulders and walked up to the TARDIS doors. He looked outside. There, right in front of him, was another TARDIS.
