Parallel Minds
Citizen of Fantasy at Heart

Note: Hello, everyone. This is my first time writing a Doctor Who fanfiction ever - before now, I haven't really looked around the Doctor Who section on FFN. This is just a funny idea that came into my head while watching the greatest show on Earth, and I thought it would be interesting to write. This isn't a super serious story - it's going to be funny, played for laughs. If someone else thought of a similar idea, my bad - didn't mean to steal. :)

Anyways. The whole synopsis:

Synopsis: When the TARDIS nearly pulls the Doctor and Rose out of the Time Vortex and into a parallel world, they manage to escape before completely falling out...but in the meantime, they've picked up a new passenger, a girl from another universe. And in her universe, the Doctor doesn't exist. He's the star of a TV show known as Doctor Who. And this girls' seen every season, every episode of it. She knows what's going to happen.

Disclaimer: I totally own Doctor Who. I've spent a lot of money on it - every single episode of the New Series, plus all the merch I could get my hands on. I have all the seasons, loads of the books, so much I'm starting to run out of room...that's not what you meant, was it? Got it. Don't own the show, don't own the characters, etc. But I have the DVDs!

.chapter one: hit and miss.

"She's sick," the Doctor muttered, flying around the main console of the TARDIS like some kind of strange bird. "Why is she sick? She was fine , and look at her now." He pressed a button; the TARDIS shuddered. "What?"

"Looks fine to me," Rose said loudly. She was leaning against one of the coral pillars, trying to keep from snorting with laughter out loud. The Doctor – him and his TARDIS. It wasn't just a spaceship, she knew that much. More like part of the Doctor himself, going where it thought he needed to go…and making strange sounds for no apparent reason. She winced as sparks flew out from one of the console planes. "Or not. What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything," the Doctor said, running a hand through his hair. He fished out his sonic screwdriver and knelt down, scanning it as he crawled one-handedly on the floor. "Oh, I was going to take you to the Singing Towers of Darillium. They're magnificent – big glass pillars rising out of the ground, which by the way is purple, and when the sunslight hits them each morning they create a kind of resonance – they're hollow…nobody knows who built them, though. Well, I do. But that's because I popped back and took a look." He said all this of course, while he was crawling around, and since he had the sonic screwdriver in his mouth while he tried to reach something beneath the console, it was a little hard to hear.

"Can you speak louder?" Rose rolled her eyes and skipped around to where the Doctor was half-hidden beneath the console; his legs were sticking out. As she approached him he wriggled back out and stared up at her.

"What?"

"Never mind," Rose said, smirking. "Just figure it out so we can see those towers, yeah?"

"It'll just take a minute," the Doctor said. His voice had a slight echo to it. Rose jumped back as there was a rather loud crash, and suddenly the Doctor was beside her, brushing off his suit. "Got it." With a wild grin he stuck his glasses on and began to check the TARDIS, moving around it just like before.

"Doctor," Rose said quietly.

"As I was saying," he said, ignoring her or unable to hear her. "The Towers weren't built at all – they're the exoskeletons of this indigenous species called the – "

"Doctor!"

"Oh, what is it now?"

Rose swallowed. "Are we supposed to be moving? I thought we were staying parked next to that dwarf star we just saw…"

He followed her gaze. The central pillar of the TARDIS was beginnig to glow, the pistons moving up and down as that telltale sound filled the air. "No."

"So where's it going?"

"No idea," the Doctor said, pulling some levers and whirling a number of gears. "Where are you going? Oh, this can't be good." Suddenly the entire TARDIS shuddered, harder than it had ever before; both of them were thrown off their feet violently. Rose had to fight to keep bile from coming up as the TARDIS twisted and turned; she had never felt it move like this before. "No! No!"

"What's happening?" she gasped.

"We're falling out of the Time Vortex!" the Doctor yelled, working to keep his balance as the TARDIS spun around like some cheap amusement park ride.

"Care to explain what that is?"

"It's what the TARDIS travels through when we go to another place in time," he said, speaking in a rush as he tried desperately to get them back on course. "But it's closed – nobody can get out of it, it's been that way since the Time War…"

"Well, we're doing it now," Rose said, jumping out of the way as the Doctor almost fell into her.

"Oh, but we can't!" The Doctor had finally stopped moving. "Nobody's supposed to be going. Why is the TARDIS taking us here?" He sighed, pulling off his glasses, running a hand through his hair yet again as he stared at Rose. "I can't do anything. The TARDIS is locked. She won't let me in."

"If we're falling out of – what did you call it?"

"Time Vortex," he muttered.

"Right," Rose said. "If we're falling out of your Time Vortex, then where are we going?" For the first time since their conversation had started, she looked a little frightened. "Are we just going to – end up in nothing or something like that? Am I going to be nothing?"

"Nah," the Doctor said. "Unless if we got stuck in the Void. Otherwise…"

"You better tell me," Rose warned.

He shifted. "Parallel universes. Billions of different worlds where things are just a little bit – woah!" Suddenly he grinned again, brightly. "We're heading back! The TARDIS is taking us back! We can still see those Singing Towers – just you wait, Rose! Just you wait!" He laughed as the TARDIS swung them back right where they were before, hovering around one of the dwarf stars of the Andromeda galaxy.

"Doctor," Rose said. Her voice was quieter than before.

"We don't have to go there," he said, shrugging. "There's still so much you haven't seen – you're trying to tell me something, aren't you?"

"Yeah," Rose said dryly. She pointed to the door of the TARDIS, or, rather, the thing standing in the door of the TARDIS. "I think we got a hitchhiker."

The Doctor looked to where she was pointing.

Standing right in front of the double doors was a girl. She was dressed in the same sort of clothes Rose liked to wear – blue jeans and a T-shirt. A T-shirt with his face on it. Her hair was held back in a ponytail, revealing earrings shaped like…well, shaped like his TARDIS. TARDIS earrings. She grinned, clutching something that looked much too similar to his screwdriver.

"Oh my God," the girl whispered, staring at the interior of the TARDIS, with all its coral pillars and dancing lights. "This has to be a dream. The most awesome dream I've ever had." Her eyes found the Doctor and Rose, who had both frozen. "Holy crap, you two look so real. Oh my God!"

"What?" The Doctor rubbed his forehead.

The girl ran up and walked around him like he was some sort of exhibit, taking him in. "It's just like in the show. You even wear the same suit!"

"What?"

"And you!" The girl suddenly turned and peered at Rose, who had a rather amusing look on her face. "Wow – okay, you were always my favorite companion of everybody. I mean, Donna was pretty awesome, and Martha could be annoying at times but I liked her, but you!"

She turned back to the Doctor, still grinning. "I can't believe this. Is this really real? Oh my God, this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life!"

The Doctor pushed his glasses back onto his face. "What?"

Hope you enjoy. The Doctor can beat anything in the universe, but what's he to do against a devoted fangirl? Review to find out.
