Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, as had it been in my possession, I never would've allowed The Eleventh Doctor to regenerate in December.

Chapter 1

He stumbled into the TARDIS, gasping what he knew were his final breaths in this body. He didn't want to regenerate, not again. Hopefully this would be less painful and scary than his last one. His hand was glowing, and the gold was spreading as he breathed his final breath. The gold was all around him, painfully changing his face as his old body disappeared and was replaced with a new one.

"Hmmm. Shorter. I'll have to get used to this." His thoughts were interrupted by a banging on the door of his TARDIS. "Visitors already?" He questioned, walking to the door. Pulling it open, he watched as a young girl, probably in her late teens or early twenties, stumbled in. He peeped out and saw a skyline with loads of skyscrapers, then heard a faint murmur of,

"It's smaller on the outside!"

"You know," he said, turning to face the girl, "only one other person has said that besides you."

"How many people have been in this… box?" She asked, tugging on a strand of reddish brown hair.

"Well, first off, it's not a box, it's a TARDIS, say it with me: tarrrrrrrdis. Ooh sassy this self is sassy. Anyways, TARDIS, time and relative dimension in space. Tarrrrrr-"

"Shut up!" The girl snapped at him. He looked over and saw that she had tracks of mascara down her face and was wearing a red dress that seemed a bit… small. He looked through his doors again and saw it was snowing outside.

"What are you wearing that for?" He asked, genuinely curious.

"It's the New Year, idiot! I went to a party!"

"It's snowing!"

"It's Boston in the winter, no dip it's snowing!"

"Boston? As in, America?" He asked.

"Noooooo as in Mars. Where do you think?"

"Hey. Be nice. But… you're british. Your accent is british. Why?"

"Ugh," she sighed, preparing to tell a story. "I was dropped at an orphanage in England as a baby, adopted, moved to America, and went to a college in England. By the way, seeing as you're learning what is basically my life story, what's your name?"

"I'm The Doctor," he replied proudly.

"Doctor what? And which profession?" She didn't trust him, he could see a glimmer of fear in her green eyes.

"Just The Doctor. And what's your name?"

"I'm Alexandria. But uh… call me Alex."

"Alexandria. Alexandria. Sounds… ancient. Powerful. It's an imperial name, you know. Why shorten it?"

"I don't like the name Alexandria. It's too long and elegant for a regular day. Alex, however, is a typical nickname for a typical girl. If only I were typical."

"Oh no. Don't say that. You never want to be typical. Not ever."

"But I do. I was adopted into a family of Harvard graduates. I have so many expectations on me. And why do I keep telling you this? I don't really know you."

"Excellent question, Alexandria. Now, please get out of my TARDIS."

"Excuse me?" Alex questioned, seemingly insulted by the abrupt dismissal from the strange man's presence.

"You heard me. While I don't mean to be rude, rudeness was a trait from a few selves ago, I really need you to leave. I honestly can't have you stay here, due to the fact I don't know you, and I don't know if you can handle the stuff I see."

"Is that a challenge? Because I highly doubt the stuff you see could be any worse than this dismal life."

"Oh, I think it can my dear. You see, I'm an alien from the planet Gallifrey. Before you open your mouth to tell me aliens don't exist, please rethink that statement and keep it shut, as I don't want to have this discussion with you. I am a Time Lord, and I have the ability to regenerate, or change my entire body. It's a way of cheating death. Now, I just regenerated, so I do hope I've become more handsome. Please, don't ask questions, and off we pop on a great Bostonian adventure, because I sense something is amiss," The Doctor narrated.

"What?" Alex asked, a confused expression seemingly frozen on her face.

"That's a question!" Was the reply as The Doctor hurried into the chilled winter air.

Author's Note: That was the first chapter, but not the first "episode", so to speak. The episodes will probably last a span of 2-3 chapters. Thank you for reading!
