NOTE: I don't own Torchwood or any of the characters

I am going to try at this, hell, people might dislike this story but I will try

When I came through the rift many things because certain to me; I would never see my family again, I would never see my friends again and I would never be able to read fanfiction or watch Torchwood or Doctor Who ever because those things would be happening. Maybe I was to geeky for my world that the rift was compensating, my parents had told me to get a really life and stop day dreaming about characters that weren't real.

When I came out of the rift the first thing I noticed was that I was in the middle of Cardiff Bay, and let me make it clear. It was cold, not cold, freezing. I tried swimming to the nearest dock, I grabbed on and pulled myself out of the water. I put my arms around myself hoping that I would get warm, this couple walked past me, a police man and a woman, they were chatting. They looked at me, like I was alien (maybe I was) they walked over to me.

"Hello, are you alright?" asked the woman.

"No, does it look like I am alright," I started to get cranky, maybe it was the cold maybe it was the fact I was in my pajama's, oh well "I am freezing cold!"

"Okay love, no need to shout" said the man, the woman nudged him.

"How about you come with us? My name Gwen and this Andy" Gwen came around one way and grabbed my arm, Andy came around the other and we started walking. My brain was in a fuzz, Gwen? Why was she with Andy and not at Torchwood.

"What year is this?" I asked.

"December 31st 1999" she stated for a fact "why?" I heard Andy mumble something about 'going to work on new years eve', Gwen seemed to ignore him.

"Never mind" I looked around and saw a man following us from behind, 'dammit Torchwood, not so invisable'. I nudged Gwen, she turned around.

"Why are you following us?" she asked.

"I am Torchwood and I have to take this girl off your hands" Gwen let go of me, looked at him and looked back at me, "If you need anything, call me" she left, handing me her phone number. Gwen and Andy walked off, the Man came closer towards me.

"And who might you be?" I asked.

"Alex Hopkins, you are coming with me"
