A/N: Hi everybody! I'm Haybales and this is my first time writing for this particular fandom, and I hope you like what I have to give you! I started watching Doctor Who about three months ago, and I immediately was obsessed with it! Please read and review to help me as I try to get a feel for writing Doctor Who! This chapter won't be long, but if I get a good response from this, I'll post more.

Planet Gallifrey- During the Last Great Time War

A young man and woman stood outside the famous Citadel of the Time Lords, watching the war taking place in the skies above them. The Dalek ships were growing closer and closer, and many of the people still left on Gallifrey were realizing how this war would end.

"Two great civilizations destroying each other as we speak." The man said. The woman, with a little baby in her arms, held back her tears.

"You two shouldn't be out here," A man's voice said, approaching them. "It's not safe."

"Oh, Doctor, it's you." The woman said with a sigh, "We won't be out here for long." She said, indicating the child in her arms and a small little spaceship.

"Ahh, I see." The Doctor said, "Where are you sending her?"

"Earth. It's the safest place for her to be during this war." The man said.

"There is no safe place now. The Daleks will destroy everything if we don't stop them." The Doctor said. He saw the tears streaming down the parents' faces. "But perhaps if I can take her far enough back in time…"

"Would you do that, Doctor? Please, for us? For our baby?" The woman pleaded. The Doctor nodded and took the child from her mother. He walked away and took the baby girl into his TARDIS, and away to safety.

New York City, United States of America, Planet Earth- August 20, 2012

Andie Verras was about to make her first giant leap into the adult world. All her high school career had been leading up to this: her first day of college. And this was not just any ordinary college. She had been accepted to NYU, her dream since she had first sang on stage as a little girl in a Christmas play. Her dream was to perform on Broadway, and attending university in New York would allow her to get her foot in the door, at least partly. Her parents supported her in every step of the way, of course. Andie had to smile whenever she thought of her parents. She had been adopted as a baby, but she always felt like her family was where she belonged. She even had a little brother, Kyle, who was turning 15 in a couple of months. She had no real desire to look for her 'real' parents, because she already knew who they were.

She arrived in New York, a small-town girl from central Kansas not even knowing what it would feel like to live in a big city. There was truly something to be said for the small-town life, where everyone knows everyone and you can actually see the stars at night, but she was ready for adventure. She bought a subway card and actually wasn't afraid to use it. Andie, however, was unsure that she could belong here, or anywhere else for that matter. She obviously felt comfortable at home and with her family, but was that where she truly belonged? She had thought for a moment that if she found her birth parents, that it might help answer her questions. However, due to a lack of any adoption papers, due to the fact that she was adopted from the Ukraine in the middle of the Cold War, she wasn't able to track them down. She just knew that there was something bigger out there.

"Did you make that?" Andie's roommate, Meg, asked as Andie hung up a drawing. The drawing showed the surface of a place that simply didn't exist on Earth. The sky was burnt orange in color, and there was a large glass dome covering what seemed to be a large city right in the middle of it all. "What is it?" Meg asked.

"Actually, I don't even really know. It just kind of shows up randomly in my dreams." Andie said, grabbing another one to show her roommate. The next one was a drawing of a man. He had on a large trench coat and a pinstriped suit, and his hair was mussed.

"And does he show up in your dreams, too?"

"Yeah, sometimes. He actually talks to me sometimes. His name is the Doctor." Andie said.

"Doctor who?" Meg asked.

"I don't know. I've asked him that same thing, but he never answers. He just stands there and smiles. " Andie said, shrugging her shoulders. Her hand went to her wrist, absentmindedly fingering a small silver watch.

The next day, Andie walked across campus with a cup of coffee in her hand, ready to face the day. She looked so much like a freshman, with her schedule in her hand and a wide-eyed expression on her face. Her head was down when she accidentally bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry." She said, not lifting her eyes from her schedule and map of campus.

"No worries." The man said in a British accent. Andie lifted her head for just a moment after hearing the voice, knowing she had heard it somewhere before. She looked at his silhouette as he walked away. He was wearing a long tan trench coat and same style and color of hair as the man from her dream. It was the man from her dream! It can't be… She told herself as she continued on to her class. The man continued on his looping route around campus, clearly on a mission.

As Andie walked into her first class of the day, she joined the several students that had already arrived and sat in the back of the classroom. The professor, an older woman with graying hair walked into the room and placed her briefcase on the desk in the front of the room.

"I'm Dr. Ryan. It's nice to meet you all. Now, to get started, I want you all to show me what you can do. It's a good practice to have a song you can sing to impress a producer or a director at a moment's notice. Now, who has something ready to sing for me today?" The professor asked. The class's eyes grew wide. No one had expected this, especially not on their first day of their freshman year. None of the students raised their hands.

"Well, then, I guess I have to choose a student to sing at random." Dr. Ryan said, taking out her class roster. "Let's see…Andromeda Verras! Do you have anything to sing for us, Andromeda?"

"Um…it's Andie, ma'am." She said, getting out of her seat. She was in front of the class, with everyone staring at her. She quickly thought of a song she knew how to sing, took a deep breath and began to sing. As her voice slid gracefully through the song, the class was stunned. They expected her to be good, you had to be to get into the program, but Andie was good. Andie saw the expressions of her classmates as she returned to her seat. She left class that day feeling quite satisfied with herself. She walked across campus once more to get to her next class, and once more she noticed the strange man crossing the quad. She had to fight the urge to just go up to him and confront him right then and there. After all, she didn't know him and he could be a major creeper that looked like the man from her dream.

She returned to her dorm after a long first day of class, and she was ready for a nap. She attempted to do some of the homework that one of her meaner professors had given her. However, she wasn't able to stay at her desk for long, with her bed seemingly screaming her name. It was only when she realized she was falling asleep mid-math problem that she decided to close her book and take a well-needed nap. She lay down her head on her pillow and was greeted by an all-too-familiar dream.

Andie found herself on the surface of the strange alien world she had visited many times. The skies were burnt orange and the dome above the large glittering city was shining in the light of the twin suns. She stood in awe of her surroundings, and moved about ever so slowly. She came around a large tree with silver leaves and saw the mysterious Doctor standing there. Andie approached him with an expression of wonder on her face.

"This place…it's just so beautiful! Do you know where we are?" Andie asked. The Doctor nodded. "So what is this place?"

"This, my dear," The Doctor began, "Is home."

Andie shot awake, shocking Meg, who had been quietly doing homework at her desk.

"Whoa! Are you okay?" Meg asked.

"Yeah, I'm good," Andie said, getting out from under the covers, "I just had that weird dream again."

"The one with that doctor guy?"

"Yeah, but this time it was different. They all take place on that weird…planet, but this time I asked him about it. I asked him where we were, and he said, 'home'"

"What does that mean? I mean, a place like that doesn't exist, so how can it be anybody's home?" Meg asked. Andie just shrugged her shoulders.

The next day, Andie woke up and began her day, just like what was becoming more and more normal since she had moved here. She couldn't, however, shake the weird feeling that her dream had given her the day before. She had bumped into that man earlier, and he looked and sounded exactly like the doctor from her dream. Could he be real? And if he was real, what if that strange alien world that was the setting for her dreams was real, too? She didn't know what to think anymore. She exited her first class of the day, her favorite ever since the day before when the professor had given them the challenge of singing in front of the class. As she was walking, she again bumped into the same man from the day before, the man from her dream. This time, she didn't hold herself back.

"Hey, what's the deal?" She said.

"I'm sorry?" The Doctor asked.

"Have you been following me or something? This is the third time I've bumped into you in three days."

"Well maybe we just have the same schedule, and the same bad coordination."

"No, it's more than that. Something's happening, I know it." Andie said.

"And how do you know that you know it?"

"I don't know." Andie said, silently laughing at the over-use of the word 'know'.

"Well, maybe it'll come to you in time." The Doctor said, tapping his wrist like he had a watch. He walked away, leaving Andie there with a confused look on her face. What could he have meant by that? She looked at the watch on her own wrist. It was a simple silver watch, nothing remarkable. The only thing that distinguished it from others was that it had a cover over the face that could open. Andie, intrigued by what the Doctor had said, put her hand to the face of the watch and tried to open it. It was stuck. Andie tried to remember the last time she had opened her watch, but she couldn't remember even opening it once. It was as if she hadn't even noticed it until now. She tried even harder to open it, but all she did was make her hand hurt. She shrugged her shoulders and moved on.

She went through the rest of her day just as she expected to, with no further sign of the Doctor. As she exited her last class of the day, she once again made her way across campus. She had been through this part of campus before, so she would be able to notice if anything had changed here, so she was surprised when she saw a new statue in the courtyard- a statue of an angel.
