This is the story of Eliza and how she met the doctor, and how he takes her on the adventure of her life. For the Doctor this takes place in-between the Ponds companionship, when they are living normal lives the doctor is off on adventures. The Doctor knows he meets Eliza for a reason he just doesn't know what it is.
Eliza lived a normal life, it was a good life she was very thankful for it, its just that's all it was just a normal life. When she was a young girl she dreamed it possible that one day she would be a princess in a tower waiting for her love to find her. Then Eliza would go on to read books on sci-fi and adventure and began to crave a wild life with life-threatening adventure. She grew out of these impossible fantasies, but in the back of her mind she always thought about how the main character of almost every story starts off bad, or normal, or unsuspecting. She would tell herself that she was in that part of the story and all she needed was a white rabbit.
That white rabbit was just something made up although, and as she got older the more she accepted that.
Eliza had a good life , she lived in small town, went to a great school, and lived in a lovely home with her mother and grandmother. Eliza's grandmother moved in with them 6, maybe 7, years a go. Her husband died 7 years ago and she went to live in an old folks home. That is until they asked her to leave, kicked her out as her grandmother said. When Eliza asked her grandmother why she got kicked out her grandmother replied " they said it was because I was too wild, old folks homes like that are where people go to die so they like it quite and boring. I was just to perky, youthful, and spontaneous for them".
Eliza didn't mind her grandmother living with them, she loved her grandmother very much, but there was something kinda off about her grandmother.
Her grandmother would sometimes make up these stories, but she actually believed them. She would be perfectly normal one second and then the next she would be talking about how she once went to the moon, or how she had a cell phone when she was 20( which was impossible because they hadn't Been invented yet. She would also say things like " don't you love these sandals I got them in Ancient Rome, they have the best shoes there". Eliza never corrected her grandmother, or tried to tell her she was crazy. She enjoyed listening to her grandmothers stories, in fact she was a little jealous of her grandmother. Her grandmother got to live an adventures life, even if it wasn't real it was real to her.
It was an typical Tuesday night. Eliza had gotten home from school and was now she was sitting on the couch doing her homework while her mother and grandmother watched Jeopardy . Occasionally there would be a history question in which her grandmother would shout at the TV " The show has the answer wrong, I know I was there !". Which would lead to Eliza quietly laughing into her hand.
" Eliza would you mind taking Remus out ?" asked her mother. Remus was a black husky they adopted a few years back.
" Eh do I have to ? Its so cold outside". But she got up anyways and walked to the door and got the leash on Remus's collar as her mother gave her a thankful look.
" Here put this on real quick, it will keep you warm" said her grandmother as she came towards Eliza with the ugliest coat Eliza had ever see. It was orange, puffy, and looked like it had some weird discoloration.
"Thanks Gran, I will look like a pumpkin, but a least I will be warm. Come on Remus lets make this quick." Eliza replied as she went out the door.
It was one of those cold nights where you can see your breath and you don't have to be out there for very long to already feel jack frost nipping at your nose.
Eliza looked up to the stars as she stuffed her hands in the jacket's pockets.
But her hand was jabbed by something cold and metal, when she pulled it out she could see that is was a key, and a pretty unique one at that.
It defiantly did not belong to any of the locks in her house.
She dropped the key back into the pocket because she heard a weird noise. It was hard to describe but if she had to she would say it was a mix between an elephant and a leaf-blower.
She shook her head because that did not really make sense why would someone be blowing leafs at this time of night or why would there be and elephant?
Then suddenly Remus lunged forward and brought Eliza with her. Remus dragged Eliza a good ten feet and then stopped suddenly and just stared forward.
When Eliza looked up she saw something extremely out of place. She had never seen anything like it before. Right in the middle of her yard was a blue Police Public Call Box.
Eliza was shocked but felt drawn to it as she stepped forward. The box gave off a kind of glow that Eliza noticed as she walked closer and closer, but then she stopped because she saw that the door was opening.
Then a man stumbled out of it, he was dress kinda strange, just to point out a few details he was wearing a bow tie and a fez. He looked at Eliza and said
" Hello there, good to see you again! Did you miss me?"
So there is chapter one ! I know the doctor wasn't in that chapter very much, but it was all very important set up! Hopefully I will have the next chapter up some time next week!
