Chapter 1

WHOOEEE, WHOOEEEE

The Tardis materialized with the familiar braking sound. The door of the blue police box cracked open, and man with flyaway hair peeked his head out. The owner of the head sniffed, straightened his bow tie, and went back inside, slamming the door shut.

"Alright, it seems we've landed on a planet with an oxygen and nitrogen rich atmosphere, sunny sky, slightly humid, and a chance of rain later, and it looks just like Cardiff! I think we may be in New Cardiff of New Earth about 5 billion years into your future," said the man.

"Glad to have landed, after that rough flight. Ugh, I feel like I'm going to be sick," said a redheaded girl.
"Please, we just flew through a rift in the universe, you have to expect some complications," the bowtie man replied.

He strolled to the center of the room and stroked the circular control panel that stood in the center of the great big room. The moment he took his hands off, everything in the Tardis shut down with a crash and steam rose from the floor of the Tardis. Everything went dark and there was a groan before everything went eerily quiet in the Tardis.

"What just happened, Doctor?" asked the redheaded girl with a Scottish accent.

The Doctor didn't reply to her question. Instead, he started running around in circles around and around the Tardis, yelling "Oh no, no, no! What are you doing?" He started banging on the random buttons and pulling keys, trying to turn the power back on.

"Doctor, tell me what's happened!" ordered Amy.

"Amy calm down," said Rory, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Doctor, what is going on, you will tell me right now!" demanded Amy.

"We've shut down," shouted the Doctor.

"Shut down? Just start it back up," Amy replied.

"I can't! The Tardis lost all power. This never happens. Never, unless… but that's impossible," the Doctor responded, continuing to bang random keys.

"Can we take a look around?" asked Rory, calmly.

"Look here!" said the Doctor, ignoring Rory. He pointed at a small spark in the ground, and blew into it. "Look, power! We just need to let it charge up for a few hours and we'll be off again. Yes, I remember now! I can fix this!"

"Well then hurry up, Doctor. You promised us a vacation, this is not a vacation," snapped Amy.

"Can we take a look around?" repeated Rory, a little more impatiently.

"Let's charge this, up! Where is the timey-wimey device? I need it!" The Doctor shouted, waving his hand around. He ran around and opened random boxes, rifling through chests and piles of cables. "Amy! Get me my dingley device… Amy!"

"All right, where is it?" shouted Amy. She ran to the other side of the Tardis.

"Guys…I'm gonna take a peek out," said Rory, inching toward the door. Neither Amy nor the Doctor noticed, so Rory opened the door walked out to take a breath of fresh air.

Stretching, Rory looked around the new alien planet. Everything looked exactly like Cardiff, Wales.

"Hey guys…" Rory turned around to tell them everything was normal, but something on the Tardis door caught his eye. The sign on the police box read differently than its usual instructions. All the words had been replaced. Instead of the usual, the words read Bad Wolf, Bad Wolf, Bad Wolf, over and over again.

"Hello," said a voice behind him. Rory turned around, and found himself face to face with a blonde girl. "My name is Rose Tyler."
