Hey look! It's another fanfic from the girl who should stop getting ideas in her head because she still has like 4 other Doctor Who fanfics that she's working on. But really, someone needs to stop my brain from churning out ideas.

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who. If I did, the new season would air right after the Christmas episode.

As an almost 26 year old woman, I'd experienced many weird things in my life. I was no stranger to odd occurrences. However, those were all the normal weird occurrences. What happened to me was definitely not one of those occurrences. Not by a long shot. This was something that was a whole lot weirder. And by a whole lot weirder, I mean that it was something that was literally out of this world. I'm talking about aliens. Aliens happened. And yes, I realize how insane I sound, but it did happen and it changed my whole life.

That day started off like any other normal day. I left my apartment and walked the block to my job, stopping by Starbucks to pick up a couple of drinks. I worked at a local boutique. I'd started working there in high school and even when I left for college, I still continued to work there on breaks. Even though I'd been out of college for almost 4 years, I was still there. You don't get too many steady jobs when you have a degree in art. But, I liked working here, especially since it was a small business. As I was walking, I glanced into one of the alleyways and noticed a blue police box, which I thought was extremely odd, since this was 2016 America and not 1960 England. Plus, I'd walked past that alleyway a billion times and never noticed it there. I shook my head and continued walking to work. I steadied the drinks on the box that I was currently carrying and pulled the keys out of my pocket to unlock the door. Or at least attempted to.

"Excuse me. You look like you could use some help there." A voice said, as I struggled to hold everything in my arms and open the door.

I looked over to the right where the voice was coming from and noticed a man there. He had slightly spiky brown hair and brown eyes, and was wearing a long, beige trench coat over a blue suit. He was also wearing red converse sneakers. Judging by the accent, I could tell he was from England. "Actually, yeah. That would be great. Thanks." I said gratefully.

"Ah, it's no problem." He said, grinning. I expected him to grab one or the other, but he ended up grabbing box the box and the drink carrier.

"Are you sure you can carry those both?" I asked.

"'Course I can!" He said, grunting a bit as he lifted up the box.

"Ok." I said, shrugging my shoulders. I unlocked the door and opened it, holding it open for the stranger as he followed me in and set it down.

"There you go!" He said brightly, looking around the store.

"Thanks. I really appreciate it, Mr..." I started.

"Actually, it's the Doctor." He said.

"Um, Doctor who?" I asked, confused.

"Just the Doctor." He said.

"Ok. Well thanks for helping me again, Doctor."

"No problem." He said, giving me a jaunty wave as he sauntered out the door. I watched as he walked away.

After that, the day went like every other day. I opened the box and set up the bottles that were in the box. I'd painted those bottles, so my degree wasn't going entirely to waste. They did seem to be selling well, so that was good. My boss came in and after exchanging greetings, we went about our day. Everything changed however, at the end of the day. I had the weekend off, so I was expecting a nice night in, watching something on the TV and relaxing, but no. Life had some other plans for me. It was dark when I walked out, the only light coming from the street lights and a few bars around me. I was locking the door, when I heard a shuffling behind me. I gripped my keys in my pocket and turned around only to find 2 men standing there. I couldn't tell much about what they looked liked, other than one was tall and the other was a little bit shorter. With me being alone and it being dark, I knew that something was up.

"Um, can I help you with something?" I asked, trying to stay calm, still holding onto my keys, which also included pepper spray.

"Oh, I think you can." The taller one of them said, leering at me. They both walked slowly towards me.

"Look, I should warn you, I'm skilled in tae kwon do and judo, and karate and I'm not afraid of using them." I said, bluffing. To be honest, I didn't know know any of them, but I was really hoping that would scare them off, but it didn't.

"Aww come on. We just want to get to know you better." The shorter one said, as they moved more towards me until they were in touching distance of my face.

That did it. I whipped out my pepper spray. "The heck you will!" I said, and sprayed them in the face. That might have been a bad idea on my part. My eyes went wide as they literally transformed in front of me into green and blue lizard like creatures with red eyes.

"You'll pay for that!" The taller one said in a low growl.

Never in my life had I seen something like that. Well, other than sci-fi movies. But not in real life. Also, never in my life had I bolted that fast or run that fast. I sprayed at them again for good measure and I ran as fast as I could in my boots, not even caring what way I was going. Every few seconds I would glance behind me and see the lizard creatures behind me. As I ran, I prayed to God that something would happen and I'd be safe. Funny thing about prayers though is that sometimes God answers them in a way that you'd never expect. Glancing back in front of me, I happened to notice a man running towards me with an odd lit up gadget in his hand. We both tried to stop, but we ran into each other and fell down. The man stood up and I was able to get a better look at him. I noticed it was the same man who'd helped me this morning. The man who called himself the Doctor.

"Terribly sorry." He said, holding out his hand to help me up. "Are you ok?"

"Define ok." I said shakily, grabbing his hand and getting up. "Because I'm currently running for my life from weird lizard creatures." Then a thought occurred to me. "Hang on. Why are you here? And what the heck is that thing in your hand?" I asked, even more confused. It was then that I glanced behind me and noticed the creatures advancing closer. I gulped.

"I'll explain on the way!" He said urgently. "RUN!" He yelled and I bolted after him.
