Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who and never will. So sad :( But I do own Sophie McQueen and any characters that I create.
Summary: AU of Written In The Stars with Sophie meeting the Ninth Doctor instead of the Tenth. The Doctor was a story that her Aunt Sarah Jane Smith would tell her every night when she was little. But he wasn't just a story, he was real. Her aunt used to travel with him and she would tell her about all of the adventures she had with him. Sophie McQueen never expected to meet him in the basement of her job at Henric's Department Store. Traveling with the Doctor had always been a dream of hers and when he offers to make that dream a reality, she takes it not knowing what was happen to her and the relationship she would have with the man who she had been told stories about.
Author's Note: Here's the story you've been waiting for! Sophie from my Written In The Stars story meeting the Ninth Doctor. I decided on Rose only appearing in some episodes. One for example will be Father's Day because Sophie definitely wouldn't ask the Doctor to take her back to see her parents because she knows the consequences of doing something like that unlike Rose does. This story is called Rewritten in the Stars. Huge thanks to AxidentlGoddess for the title! I really love it! You'll be meeting a new character in this chapter. His name is Lucas Smith and he's the brother of Mickey and the boyfriend of Sophie but no worries, he won't be in the way of the Doctor and Sophie because she will break up with him. He's just taking the place of Mickey, along with Rose, Mickey will be a secondary character and won't be as part of the story as much so those who are fans of him, I'm sorry that he won't be in here that much but I hope you like Lucas or at least tolerate him lol. Sorry for the somewhat shortness of this chapter but I hope you love the first part of the episode, Sophie! Leave reviews and tell me what you think! :D
First three chapters have been revised by Lizzybug2000 ;)
Sophie's POV...
My alarm clock blared to life at 7:30, signaling the start of my day. A day that I didn't really want to start. I groaned loudly as I slammed the alarm clockinto the off position, and sat up in my bed, being careful not to wake up my boyfriend of two months, Jake, who insisted on staying the night. Eventually I let him, tired of his moaning and groaning about it. Remind me again, why I was dating him? Oh, right. My best friend, Rose Tyler, thought we would look good together, and he was her boyfriend's brother,too. She thought it would be amazing if we got married and then we would be sister-in-laws. It's been going good if I had to say so myself. I usually never dated someone for as long as I've dated Jake. A few weeks at the most. I had just never found the right guy to. Though I had been dating Jake for a while, I didn't think he was the right guy for me either. He was too immature for me, to be honest,but that might have just been me. I had always been too mature for my age as my Aunt Sarah Jane would say.
Speaking of my aunt…
I went to climb out of my bed to grab my mobile from my dresser, but a hand grabbing my arm stopped me. I looked to see Jake sitting up in bed,the covers at his bare torso, looking over at me.
"Where you goin' babe?" he asked, his voice deep with sleepiness.
"Checking my messages to see if my aunt called,and then I have to take a shower and get ready for work," I answered, gently moving my arm out of his grip before getting out of my bed, revealing my naked form. I didn't have to look back to know that Jake was eying my body hungrily, because it was something he usually did when he saw me naked. It was pretty annoying to be honest. I didn't know why I slept with him. He wasn't all that great in the sack. Pretty bad at it actually. There was just no pleasure or excitement in it whatsoever.
"Do you have to?" he asked with a slight whine.
"Yes." I walked over to my dresser and grabbed my phone, looking through my messages. I hadactually gotten a message from my aunt. Multiple ones, in fact. Before I could take a listen, Jake'sarms wrapped around me from behind and pulled me back against his naked chest. Again, I didn't have to look back to know it was him.
"Come on, babe, you can be a little late," he told me, leaning down to press a kiss to my shoulder,before moving up to my neck, pressing a kiss there as well.
"I can't." And I really couldn't. Sure working at Henric's wasn't all that great, but I was never late for work, and I did get a good amount of money to pay the rent for my apartment despite my job being at a department store.
"But…" he began to protest, but I cut him off.
"Just let go of me. Please." After he let go and backed away from me, I said, "Thank you."
He sighed, "Sure. Well I should get going… are you and Rose still meeting Mickey and me for lunch?"
"Mickey and I," I corrected him, glancing away from my mobile to look at him, before I could stop myself, knowing how much he hated it when I corrected him.
"Whatever…are you?"
"Yeah," I replied, turning back to my mobile. "At least I think so. I could be wrong." There was silence as I looked through my messages. The silence was broken by the sound of Lucas's voice.
"Alright, I'm leaving." He went over to me and kissed me on the cheek before pulling back. "See you later babe."
I nodded, looking over at him to see that he was dressed. "Yeah, see ya," I told him with a small smile on my lips. He smiled back at me and left my flat, closing the door behind him. As soon as he was gone, I let out a sigh of relief, glad that he had left. I knew that I should break up with him. I just … didn't want to hurt his feelings. I knew how much he cared about me, but I knew I couldn't string him along either. Either way I would hurt him.
Running a hand through my messy hair, I sat down my mobile after reading through all my messages. I would call my aunt later after work. I needed to take my shower.
I took a quick shower, then I got dressed, andpinned my hair up in a bun with a hair pin that I found in my sink. I put on some makeup before I stepped out of my bathroom, all ready for my long day at work. I got my bag and headed towards my door when there was a knock at said location. I knew that it was Rose. We usually went to work togetheras we both worked at the same place. Turns out Iwas right, and it was Rose standing there on the other side, a bright smile on her face with her blonde hair (darker than mine) shining in the sun.
"Morning Soph," she greeted. "Ready for work?"
"Unfortunately, as I would rather be asleep right now," I answered, earning a nod in agreement from Rose.
"Me too." She laughed, linking arms with me as we began walking down the stairs of the flats of the Powell Estate. Rose, along with her mother Jackie, lived in the flat right next to mine. The flat that I lived in was the same one that I grew up with my aunt. My Mom and Dad died when I was little, so my aunt brought me up.
We took a bus to work and once we got there, we immediately went to work, stacking clothes up on the shop floor. Whenever Rose and I would walk pass each other, we would share bored looks and collective sighs, then go off on our merry way. I already wanted it to be lunch even after working for just an hour. Soon it was lunchtime and we did meet up with Mickey and Lucas. Lunch went by too quickly, and Rose and I were back at work. Finally the loud speaker went off.
"This is a customer announcement: the store will be closing in five minutes. Thank you."
I quickly finished my last stack and went to meet up with Rose so we could leave together. I didn't even get out the door because a security guard stopped me, waving a bag in front of my face.
"Oi!"
"Can't someone else do it?" I protested. "I have school to get to." He just continued waving it in front of me and I groaned, "Fine."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Rose askedfrom outside of the door.
"No it's fine. I got it."
"Sure?"
I nodded, "I'm sure. Go home. I'll come over after I'm done."
Before Rose could respond, the security guard interrupted. "Oi!" He exclaimed, seemingly annoyed.
"Okay, okay." I took the bag from him and I gave a smile to Rose before heading for the lift. I took the lift down all the way to the basement. When itpinged, (telling me that I was down at my destination) I stepped out of the lift and turned on the light, alighting the basement so I could see. Even then, it was still dark, but I could still see. "Hello?Wilson?" I called for the chief electrician as I went further down the corridor, "I've got the lottery money that you won." Surprised at not getting a response,as he usually was out of his office, I went to the door that said, 'HP Wilson CEO,' and I knocked on the door, "Are you alright in there?" Again no response. I sighed. "Look, I can't stay here and wait for you. The store's closing soon and I really have to get to class. I can't be late." At not getting another response, I gave a small groan, "C'mon Wilson!"
Out of nowhere, there was a sound coming further down the corridor, making me jump in surprise and look in the direction where it came from. The feeling that I usually got when watching a scary movie came over me and I gulped.
"Um, hello!" I called nervously. "Who's down there? Is that you Wilson? It's Sophie. I was just bringing you the lottery money." The sound continued and I could practically feel the scary music coming on while I walked down the corridor, stopping outside a fire door for just a moment. My heart beat fast against my chest, and my hands started to sweat. I opened the fire door and stepped inside thestorage for the shop dummies. I wanted to leave already, but for one, I had to give Wilson the money,and secondly, for some reason, I had this feeling that something was going to happen. Something good. Something that would change my life forever. So I turned on the light and walked further into the room. "Wilson? Wilson?" I called again, trying to mask my nervousness. I tried another door.
The fire door that I came through shut suddenly,making me jump and my heart beat against my chest again, faster this time. I turned on my heel, running back to the door, shaking the knob multiple times, but it wouldn't budge. Then, there was a small noise behind me. "Who is that?" My voice squeaked highly. Taking a deep breath, I started walking back into the room. "Look, I don't know who you are but I do have a weapon on me," I threatened, lying through my teeth, forcing a strong tone in my voice. "And I'm really not afraid to use it! Really I'm not!"
Hearing a sound behind me again, I turned around only to see a dummy stepping out of its alcove and moving towards me. Immediately, I started backing away, laughing nervously.
"Um … hello …" The dummy didn't say anything as two more joined it, contining to advance towards me. This oddly felt like one of those stories my aunt told me. About this Doctor who would always come and save the day from creatures from outer space. Call me weird, but I still believed in those stories. They always felt so real when my aunt would tell them. So as I backed away from the dummies, I keptrepeating 'Doctor' in my head. Any normal person would probably think this was just one big joke, but it just felt too real. More of the dummies came to life, until eventually all of them were heading towards me. I ended up tripping over a box, making me stumble backwards into a wall, letting out asqeak as my back made contact. One of the dummies lifted up a arm to strike me, so I closed my eyes, waiting for the impact.
'Doc…' Before I could finish my thought, I felt a hand slip into mine, a comforting warmth coming over me making me gasp in surprise. My eyes opened and my head snapped to the side, meetingblue eyes almost the same shade as mine, belonging to a man with a buzz cut and slightly big ears,wearing a leather jacket. I breathed in, taking in a whiff of his musky scent, as he whispered one word, only one word…
"Run."
