And they Fell…
This fic, I hope, is a bit different to the rest. It's a ninthdoctor and Rose fic, but it's mainly an adventure as opposed to a love story (not that I won't put any in, I'm going to put plenty in) as recently I've been feeling the need for a good old romp! I have to admit, I do feel unsatisfied with some of the adventures in the new series, although I love the Rose and Doctor plotline.
This story takes a while to get going – it's more about people than politics in the end, but WARNING! I do introduce new characters, but only so far as Russel T Davies ever does.
Please review if you can, just so I can tell if it's worth my effort finishing this – it's gonna be one hell of a ride! Ta loads

Chapter 1 - An unusual presense"I swear officer, I saw something out there, and it wasn't a squirrel!" the rambler said, shaking, wrapped up in a silver blanket. He sat in a plastic chair, the night sky outside an inky black, looking, to be frank, knackered. The police had found him after he'd called for an ambulance in the local wood.
"Please, could your describe your attacker to us Mr Innigin." Asked the police man, patting the shocked man on the back. He gave Mr Innigin a cup of tea, watching it shake in his hands.
"It-it-it…it looked human, but it wasn't. It hissed at me." Mr Innigin jabbered, "It pushed me down, took my rucksack, took my coat and ran away."
"But did you see the person who attacked you?" asked the police officer again.
"I – I Did, but I didn't. It moved like lightening. I was lost, gone off the map, then I was on the ground, hissed at, as it clawed at me!" Mr Innigin said, the words flowing with little meaning. He'd begun to shiver now, as if what he'd seen had frozen something inside his mind.
"We understand that you're very upset…" the police officer though about this. Most people would be upset if they'd been found wandering around in the cold, blood running down their back and face, map and food gone. He could understand why this man was just babbling on about it, but they needed to know the truth. "…but we can't catch him without a description. Hair colour, clothing, anything would help."
"it…it has white hair, yes, I remember that, white hair, tall, thin, young man…looks like a teenage boy, but isn't. Sharp nails, piercing scream…he took my coat…he was naked apart from a pair of boots…don't know why he was naked…oh god."
The police officer watched as Mr Innigin dropped the mug in shock, then, regaining composure, put his head in his hands. "Sorry, " he said sorrowfully, "I never been attacked like this before, it was like being attacked by an animal, like being attacked by a cat…"

Rose walked into the control room wearing a dressing gown and a towel around her head, grinning happily. She smelt of steam and shower-gel, her mascara finally washed off, leaving wet patched on the floor.
"Ta Doctor - I really needed that shower." She said, towel-drying her hair.
The doctor sat at the screen, looking rather confused. He leaned closer in, and absent-mindedly tapping something into the keyboard said, "I don't understand this…"
"What'cha looking at?" asked Rose, leaning against a panel before shaking her hair out.
"There's a signal going through time – a distress beacon, but it's wrong…all wrong…"
"Not another dalek, Doctor?" Rose asked, leaning over his shoulder
"No, this one shouldn't exist…but I think I'm picking it up wrong."
Rose stopped drying her hair and looked at him. "Doctor, just tell me. What's wrong."
"Nothing…someone's just using a signal…" The Doctor started to explain, but sighed and stopped. He smiled faintly and chuckled, "it's nothing. Probably just a warp." Having consoled himself, he turned to her and grinned. "How'ya fancy a trip into the future? Year 2009."
"What's there?" she asked.
"Dunno yet, but it looks like it could be fun. Are you in?" His grin met hers. He held out his hand, she grabbed it, the Doctor leapt up like an excited puppy and started to tap in coordinates.
The doctor put his hand on a leaver, and looking Rose up and down. She stood in front of him, semi-dry and wearing little more than a naughty grin and a dressing gown. The Doctor lifted an eyebrow and said, "Well, get some clothes on, this could be very interesting…"
The Doctor pulled the lever, and the TARDIS began to shake – they were moving through time.

Okay, nice and short – I hope it's been a good teaser, but I'll be putting up a new chapter soon.
