"Ah good ol' London…." Exclaimed the Doctor as he stepped from the TARDIS, as he watched several people pass by the alley where the clever 'police box' had landed. With a confident smile he stepped into the bright streets of London, a place he knew all to well. The busy citizens rushed past the well-dressed stranger not knowing that this man on many occasions had saved them for near death. This time though, the Doctor wished that on this trip to this troublesome town would not require his hero personality. He doubted that the times he had saved London from some sort of alien invasion could be counted on his hands and toes. Slitheen, gas mask zombies, Cybermen and yes those damn Sontarans. Just once he wished, this trip could be pure enjoyment.
The thought of a trouble free trip just caused him to laugh, and startle a few passing people. After a quick check of the TARDIS, the Doctor blended into the busy streets of London, admiring the peaceful sense of the street. "So many memories." A faint smile came to his lips as his mind wandered to the memories of saving London, with his vast collection of friends.
For less than an hour the Doctor wandered the streets of London, problem free, a change for the life of this Timelord. Sadly for him it would not last long, as the ground beneath his feet violently shook. People around him screamed as the 'earthquake' subsided and everyone stood around dumbfounded by the sudden quake.
"Now that is not normal… so much for my problem free day." Out was the sonic screwdriver and the Doctor was down the street, slipping through the crowd, in the direction of the quake. The location was a small alley between two department stores, and by the looks of it, there was nothing that could have started the citywide shake.
Over bins, behind boxes, pushing trash bags aside, absolutely nothing. "What on Earth is going on? That quake was definitely not natural, it was too strong for this area." The Doctor scratched his chin and continued to glance around, "I guess whatever started the quake is gone now, I'll have to come back later and see if it returns."
Somewhat defeated, the Doctor exited the alley with a final glance over his shoulder, and headed back towards the TARDIS, thinking just maybe the sensors had picked up the possible source. As he made his way, the Doctor could not help but feel a familiar presence… in a sense, but he could not put his finger on it.
Several steps behind the Doctor, a young girl about the age of eighteen with short, airy blonde hair and mysterious hazel eyes, followed the Doctor's every move, she had waited a very long time to meet this man; and her chance was soon approaching.
They weaved through the once again busy streets, the 'earthquake' forgotten and another worked day continued. The Doctor cautiously turned down the alley where the TARDIS lay, hoping he may find some answers to what caused the earlier quake. And behind him, the girl stood near the edge of the alley watching the Doctor disappear into the TARDIS.
"Should I just walk in? The last thing I need is to ruin this chance at the first go… oh what the hell, I bet she would have done the same thing." Her first few steps were slow and shaky; she had no idea how this man would react. The police box grew closer and closer, and soon the girl found herself slowly prying the blue wooden door open and, stepping inside.
Her eyes flew around the inside, it really was bigger on the inside; she still could not believe that this was an actual space ship. All those stories that she and her two younger siblings had heard growing up, were slowly coming to life for her. She lightly bit her lip and continued to stare in awe. A 'distant' throat clearing brought her out of her little reverie.
