Written by Charlotte and yours truly, because my writers block hates me and Charlottes trying to get me out of it.
Oh, yeah, we don't own anything, not doctor who or anything else that might pop up other than our original characters.
Chapter 1
The girl lied in her bed motionless. Her muffled breath and slight buzz of electronics were the only sounds that could be heard apart from the gentle breeze outside of her window. All seemed to be normal and quiet.
The girl flinched, her face crumpling into a harsh expression, arms tucked into her face. She was dreaming. Her eyes were flickering above her eyelids, searching through the darkness of the unknown, her breath quickened as if she was running.
In the background a shape appeared, accompanied with a noise. Whirring. It slowly grew louder as the shape became more defined. The girl twisted more uncomfortably in her bed, her body chucking the heavy duvet off her body leaving her exposed and cold. The shape was now nearly opaque now – a blue box. The whirring became louder and louder increasing each second. There was a loud bang and the whirring came to a sudden halt.
The girl's eyes shot open. She sat up in her bed, eyes wide, waiting for them to adjust to the dim blackness of the night. Before her at the end of the bed was the blue box.
"What..." she mumbled to herself, still half asleep. She blinked a few times to check that she wasn't still asleep. She wasn't. She crawled onto her knees, stretching her arms out in front of her, before lifting her gaze to the object before her.
"No way..." She exclaimed as she opened her eyes wide. "But, this can't be true, it-it doesn't exist!" The girl ran her hands over her face whilst madly talking to herself about the situation.
The door of the blue box opened slightly, the girl not having noticed, continued to ramble on. A man stepped out of the box, standing there watching the girl for a while. He soon realised that she would not look up from her mumbling unless he made some sort of approach to her.
The man took another step, the moonlight from the gap in the window gently illuminating his face. He cleared his throat, hoping that the girl would hear. He stood there waiting for a response. There was none. He did the same once again but slightly louder. All noises ceased once again.
Cautiously, she raised her gaze, meeting the eyes of the man. He was wearing a tweed jacket, black trousers and, most distinctively, a red bow tie. His hair was a deep brown and was quite messy. As she took all this in her mouth formed an 'O' shape whilst she stared, unable to speak.
"Hello," was all he said. The girl blinked, as if the words had hit her with some force. She swallowed, trying to remember how to speak. She knew who this man was. She had heard about him before, seen him as well, but only in her dreams. The strange man with a blue box, a traveller...
Her brain managed to get her to say the word she had been searching for.
"Hello," she whispered.
"Ah, right so you can speak! That's good because for a moment there I thought you were going to just sit there looking surprised. Well it's nice too met you, I'm the Doctor. Oh wait, I don't know your name – What's your name?"The man gabbles.
"The doctor." The girl says as if in a trance. " Huh- oh wait my name, my name uhhh... My name's Annabelle! Yes that's it." The girl's expression changed into one of embarrassment. How could she forget her own name? She looked up again as if to check that was okay. She had never been any good with adults, or anyone to be honest. She tended to hang out with only the people she trusted at school, never the one to try new things.
"Annabelle, eh? Well that's a nice name – knew someone who had the same name once. Lovely lady although she could go on a bit..." The doctor contemplated. Annabelle stifled a laugh.
"Sooo, ummm... Why are you here in my house?" She asked the Doctor.
"Ah, the TARDIS does that sometimes, takes me to odd places without me telling her to do so. But... It must be for a reason..."
"un huh," Annabelle mumbled.
"Say, you haven't noticed anything strange recently? Anything out of the ordinary?"
"Well, if you don't count this then no, not that I've noticed – I think,"
"You think? Okay I'll have to go with that," The Doctor answered. With that sentence finished he turned and headed for her bedroom door.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Annabelle said, swinging out of her bed and onto the floor.
"To take a look 'round. The TARDIS never takes me to a place without a reason, so I'll have to find the answer myself," The Doctor replied courtly.
"Well, can I come with you? To help you find what you're looking for?" Annabelle asked.
A slight smile appeared across the Doctors face. He always enjoyed company on his adventures, and since Amy and Rory were still on a distant planet for their honeymoon, why not let the girl tag along?
He turned to face her. "Sure, why not? Another pair of eyes is always useful," And with that he stepped out the door.
Annabelle shut the door and quickly changed into her jeans and t-shirt that had been thrown on the floor the previous evening. She then raced to her door and then shut it quietly after her leaving the mysterious blue box behind in her room.
"So, where to now?" She asked excitedly.
I'm not going to beg you to review but it would be nice :)
