Aaron picked up his 3DS. If there was one thing he felt like doing now, it was playing Professor Layton. He pressed the on button carefully and the screens came on, to reveal the familiar buildings of Monte D'or swirling round. He loaded the game. The title, "Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask' appeared on the top screen. He selected 'continue' with the stylus and clicked on the top profile. Aaron decided to skip the entire 'the story so far' part, as he was quite certain he didn't have dementia. Clicking the magnifying glass icon, he used the stylus to move the magnifying glass on the top screen around. A familiar clown, who had once been caught in balloons, caught his attention. He moved the magnifying glass over and touched the screen. An exclamation mark appeared. Just as he expected. A puzzle. Skipping the dialogue, Aaron read the information on what he had to do clearly and clicked the 'hints' button. He had plenty of hint coins anyway. It asked him if he wanted to reveal the first hint. He touched 'Yes'.

Professor Layton appeared on the top screen.

"A true archaeologist would work it out for himself."

Aaron stared. That wasn't supposed to happen. He touched 'Yes' again.

"A true archaeologist would work it out for himself."

He touched 'Yes' confidently. He wasn't going to let that smug Professor win.

"A true archaeologist would work it out for himself."

Professor Layton stretched his arms out of the 3DS. At first, Aaron thought it was a 3D effect, but then Professor Layton grabbed him around the waist and pulled him into the screen. Aaron screamed. This wasn't fair.

"You will now obey my commands and work out the puzzles for yourself."

Rose opened her eyes. A curly, white haired man stared back. He wore a strange,black jacket and a turquoise blue shirt.

"Where am I?"

"You're in the medical room of UNIT Headquarters." The man explained. "You were found in the middle of a busy road. You could have died."

"But I was with him. The Doctor. We were waiting in a queue for Fish and chips."

"My dear girl, are you alright? I'm the Doctor."

"But you're not. I mean, you can't be. The Doctor has a bigger forehead."

"Have you ever heard the term regeneration?"

"No. What's that?"

"It's where a time lord changes his face. It appears you are supposed to be with a later incarnation than mine."

Rose snorted.

"Yeah, right. Who do you think you are? James Bond?"

"This is not the time for disbelief. Something has appeared to have caused you to time travel however many years into my future's past and we're going to find out what. Before we do,however, you have not introduced yourself."

"Oh, sorry. I'm Rose. Rose Tyler."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Tyler. Unless, of course, you're married?"

"No, just single. I have a boyfriend, but my Doctor's taken over my life at the moment. Sort of."

"I do seem to have a habit of taking over other's lives. Anyway, Miss Tyler, I shall have to introduce you to the Brigadier."

Aaron looked around. Blackness surrounded him. Among the blackness were people like him. Others who had played the game. Kids around his age, young woman, young men, old men, old women… A whole mixture of ages. Professor Layton turned round.

"You are all my new apprentices. You will be joining me and my companions Luke and Emmy as we explore Monte D'or. I am hoping that this will teach you a valuable lesson about the true way to solve puzzles."

"NO." Aaron found himself shouting. "I'm going nowhere with you. All these years of playing Professor Layton, I thought you were a hero. Oh, how I was wrong. You're nothing more than a dictator."

"You will kindly obey my instructions or you will never leave the game."

"Then so be it!"

Professor Layton pointed dramatically at Aaron. A blue light beam shot out and hit Aaron in the chest. Professor Layton laughed.
