Doctor Who & Sarah Jane Adventures Crossover
Lost to Technology
Part One
It was a simple day in the Tardis, The Doctor was tending to the controls while Clara's eyes were glued to her cellphone. She upgraded it a while ago now it was the newest phone on the market in her time and thanks to The Doctor's sonic screwdriver she would get news and updates from anywhere in the galaxy.
Soon their travels together became very quiet The Doctor would show Clara various artifacts from the past and future but Clara would not even lift her head to acknowledge him. The timelord grew lonely and upset he began to think travelling with him was boring. The Doctor sighed he needed someone to talk to... someone who wouldn't stand there making yes or no noises. Just then a thought went through his head, the timelord's lips curved into a smile as he turned a knob and pressed a few buttons the Tardis hummed loudly with delight at the coordinates.
"Yes old girl it's time to visit an old friend." the Doctor said.
In Ealing on Bannerman road house at number thirteen Sarah Jane smith was busy tending to the dishes in the kitchen. She expected Luke, Rani and Clyde to be outside playing but she knew better. She found them on the couch glue to their tablets and phones instead.
"Does anyone want to help me clean up the attic?" Sarah Jane asked.
"Maybe later Mum." Luke replied.
"Yeah." Clyde and Rani replied in unison.
Sarah Jane nodded as she finished washing and drying the dishes.
It's been a few days now with hardly any alien attacks but ever since the kids got their new tablets and phones they have been doing nothing but sitting on the couch. It wasn't just them it was all the kids in the neighborhood. The once loud and boisterous streets were not quiet and dull. Life was quiet...too quiet and now even some of the adults were getting hooked on the new gadgets as well. Either this was the way of the future or something was really wrong.
A familiar sound caught her attention as she was heading out the front door to throw out the trash. Sarah Jane opened the door to find a sliver curly haired man standing there wearing a black jacket looking at her with menacing green eyes.
Standing beside him was a young woman with shoulder length dark brown hair she couldn't see her eyes they were too busy glued to her phone.
"Hello old friend." Sarah said.
"Hello Sarah this is Clara Oswald, Clara this is Sarah Jane Smith." The 12th Doctor said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Oswald." Sarah Jane said pleasantly.
"Yeah." Clara said not looking up from her phone.
Sarah Jane moved aside as Clara walked over and joined Luke and Clyde on the couch while Rani stood up and sat down in the chair. The Doctor grab the trash bag and walked out the door with Sarah Jane.
"I see your companion has become a slave to technology as well." Sarah Jane said.
"Yes I'm afraid so, it's been too quiet on the Tardis lately a bit lonely as well." The Doctor admitted.
The Doctor threw away the trash and Sarah Jane put the lid back on the trash can as she took a long deep breath.
" It's been lonely here too, tell me something what's missing we are outside and it's summer vacation shouldn't there be kids around?" Sarah asked.
"Yes and teenagers alike racing up and down the streets on skateboards and other various contraptions with laughter. The adults should be cooking tasty barbecue meats on the grill with globs of thick artery killing potatoes salad as a side dish." The Doctor added.
Sarah Jane smiled he had indeed been around humans for too long. Sarah Jane looked around before she would of spotted at least one child or even one adult outside beside her but this time there was no one.
"The streets are too quiet everyone one is indoors they would rather be in the virtual word then the one Mother Nature provided for them." The Doctor said.
"A slave to technology they've become I guess we have to save them again." Sarah Jane said.
The Doctor took a hold of Sarah Jane's hand with a smile and nodded.
"Indeed come on." The Doctor said happily.
The two of them ran toward the Tardis and shut the door behind them and with the happy humming sound the Tardis dematerialized.
