AN: Well. I didn't think I was going to do this, but I am. Welcome to my Doctor Who/Welcome to Night Vale crossover! The first chapter is going to be a basic recap of the first episode, but AU afterwards once Rose joins the Doctor in the TARDIS. Instead of going to the end of the Earth, they end up in Night Vale, which will start in the next chapter :) I don't own either of these fandoms, I'm just playing around with them.

Chapter 1- Run

"Sometimes at dusk we would see him come out from the hidden interior of his ship...for years, we had no idea who he was until..."

A young blonde woman woke up suddenly and hit the off button on her alarm clock. That was strange. She felt like she had heard a voice coming through her alarm clock, but when she had awoken, it was her usual music channel. What an odd dream, she decided and pushed the covers off.

"Rose!" her mother called from the kitchen. "Time to get up and go to work!"

"Coming, mum! I just turned off my alarm!" the woman replied and rubbed her eyes before getting up to greet the day.

…...

Rose's day had started off like any normal day, really. She had a nice cuppa with her mom before heading to the shop, she ate lunch with her boyfriend Mickey, she lounged around doing her job. It was a pretty nice day, she thought to herself. Rose was about to close the shop when she was stopped by Bruce, the main security guard to go give her boss the money from the lottery.

"Alright, I'll do it, yeah? Even though I'm supposed ta be gone already," she teased Bruce, giving him one of the tongue in teeth smiles she was famous for. She walked down to the basement where her boss' office was.

"Mr. Dreyfuss? Are ya down here?" she called. She walked around trying to locate the shop owner. She heard a bang to her left. "Alright, this isn't funny! I'm supposed to be home! So, just come out and take your money for the lottery, yeah?" Rose heard another loud noise to her right. "Have it your way then. I can make noises too! I suppose you and Bruce is doin' this for a laugh, yeah?" She knocked on the fuse box in front of her three times. "Can you come out now? Laugh's over."

It was then that Rose saw it. A mannequin was moving. Don't be silly, she chided herself, mannequins don't move. Well then, what were those? Rose ran as fast as she could down the hallway, only to bump into a strange man. "Oi!" she exclaimed.

"What are you doing down here?" he asked her.

"I could ask you the same!" Rose scolded.

"Tracking down the living plastics, of course! What else would I be doin'?" the man asked like it was the most natural thing in the world to run around in shop basements after mannequins.

"They're just mannequins, aren't they?" she questioned him.

"Do they look like 'just mannequins'?" he asked, sounding exasperated.

"Well, no, I suppose-"

"Hate to interrupt," he said, "actually, no I don't. Anyways, if you want to get out of here alive, run." The man grabbed the arm of a mannequin and grabbed Rose's hand. They sprinted down the hallway together and into the stairwell. When they reached the door, he put his hand in his pocket for something. He produced a weird looking box and handed her the mannequin's arm.

"Who are you, then? Who's that lot down there? I said, who are they?" she demanded.

"They're made of plastic. Living plastic creatures. They're being controlled by a relay device on the roof. Which would be a great big problem if I didn't have this. So I'm gonna go upstairs and blow it probably die in the process. But don't worry about me. No, you go on, go on! Go have your lovely beans on toast. Don't tell anyone about this, because if you do, you'll get them killed." The man shut the door, and Rose turned away about to walk down the street. She didn't really know what else to do. What should she say?

The door opened again, and she turned her head back. "I'm the Doctor by the way, what's your name?" the man asked.

"Rose," she told him.

"Nice to meet you, Rose! Now, run for your life." The Doctor wiggled the little box for emphasis before shutting the door again.

Now, she didn't know why she trusted him, but she did. This Doctor seemed to know what he was talking about. So without another look, she ran as fast as she could into the night with the mannequin's arm.

…...

"I'm tellin' ya, mum, I can't tell ya anything about the explosion!" Rose explained to her mother for what felt like the millionth time in two days. There was a knock at the door. Rose didn't know why, but she felt compelled to open the door this time. She set down her mug and quickly strode out of the room. She opened the door to reveal the man from the explosion yesterday, the Doctor.

"You owe me an explanation, mister!" she exclaimed before he could say anything and pulled him inside by his leather jacket. She dragged him down the hall to the living room where her mom was looking at them with an open mouth.

"Who's this, then?" she asked.

"The man who is going to give us all the answers," Rose told her.

"Well, would the man who is going to give us all the answers like a nice cup of coffee?" her mother asked flirtily, much to Rose's chagrin. She gritted her teeth and sat the Doctor down on the couch.

"I'm going to help my mother, and you better start talking, yeah?" she ordered. The Doctor just looked at her bemusedly. "Alright, so what were ya doin' in the basement at my shop? Actually, wait no. What were those things? You called 'em living plastic, what does that mean?" she paused to wait for an answer.

"Doctor? Hello?" Rose started to storm out of the kitchen angrily only to find the mannequin arm she had thrown into the dumpster yesterday currently wrapped around the Doctor's throat. She rushed over to the couch and attempted to dislodge the arm. She finally got a hold of the arm and the Doctor deactivated it. He got up to leave.

"Wait a minute!" she yelled angrily. "Just where do you think you're goin'! You can't just leave without giving me an explanation for something like that!"

He turned around to face her. "Watch me." He started walking again. Rose caught up to him and yanked his arm until he was facing her.

"Who are you?" she asked him.

"Do you know like we were sayin'? About the Earth revolving? It's like when you're a kid. The first time they tell you that the world's turning and you just can't quite believe it 'cause everything looks like it's standin' still. I can feel it-" he took Rose's hand, "-the turn of the Earth. The ground beneath our feet is spinnin' at 1,000 miles an hour and the entire planet is hurtling around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour, and I can feel it. We're fallin' through space, you and me, clinging to the skin of this tiny little world, and if we let go..." the Doctor dropped her hand. "That's who I am."

"Where are you goin'?" she yelled.

"It doesn't concern you. You'd be better off if you forgot I was ever here, Rose Tyler." The Doctor looked at her for a moment more before running across the street into a police box.

Rose turned around and walked back to her flat.

…...

"Where's the Doctor?" Mickey asked her, his gaze getting intense as he grabbed her hand.

"Who's champagne?" a voice asked from behind Rose.

"It's not ours," she relied. "Mickey, what is it, what's wrong?"

"Doesn't anybody want this champagne?" the voice insisted.

Mickey rolled his eyes. "Look, we didn't order any champagne." His eyes got wide. "Ah, got'cha."

Rose turned to see what he was talking about when she saw the Doctor shake the champagne bottle and point it at Mickey's face. She was about to yell at him not to do that, when the cork flew off and hit where his forehead was supposed to be. Instead of making a thwack! noise, it got sucked in and created ripples on his "forehead". He chewed on it for a moment before spitting it out.

The Doctor flew at Mickey tackling him into the tables, glass shattering everywhere. People were screaming, and Rose was trapped not knowing what to do. The Doctor popped off Mickey's head and Rose tried not to scream.

"Don't think that's gonna stop me," the head said. The Doctor took a nearby food cart and pushed it into the body, and grabbed Rose's hand for the second time since he met her. "Run," was all he said, and Rose knew to listen.

They sprinted out the door towards the police box she saw earlier outside her flat. "Come on, we have to hurry," he said and Rose followed him.

"We have to hurry," she said, "the doors won't stop him for that long."

"We're safe. Genghis Khan and his armies couldn't get through that door, and believe me they tried. Where do you want to start?"

Rose looked around at this impossible box. It was enormous, and she obviously was not expecting that. There was a large console like thing in the middle of the room with a blue light coming off of it that the Doctor hooked the head up to with some wires. She could ask him any number of things really, but all that came out was. "The inside's bigger than the outside." Nice going, Rose, she scolded herself. All the questions you could ask, and all you can say is the obvious?

"Yeah, it is," was all the Doctor said.

"It's alien," she stated.

"Yeah," he agreed.

"Are you...alien?" she asked, not quite sure she wanted to know the answer.

"Yep." He looked at her for a few more moments, studying her expression, which she tried to keep as neutral as possible. He turned towards the console and said, "Okay, I'm going to use this head to track the controlling signal. It'll just be a moment." He fiddled with a few buttons and knobs and then she heard a sound from overhead. "Ah, of course, the London Eye. Would you like to step outside?" the Doctor asked.

Was he crazy? They were nowhere near the London Eye. "But...we haven't moved," she mumbled.

"Haven't we?" he grinned at her and walked outside. When Rose didn't follow he stuck his head back in. "Coming?"

Rose walked outside to join him, and she could not believe it. The London Eye stood in front of her, lighting up the night sky.

"The fake Mickey was an Auton," he explained to her outside. "He was being controlled by something called the Nestene Consciousness."

"What's that?" she asked.

"Would you like to find out?" he grinned.

Rose nodded, and he took her hand and ran underneath the London Eye.

…...

"You were fantastic, you were," he complimented to her.

"Oh, not as fantastic as you!" Rose exclaimed.

"Yes, yes, we're all fantastic. Can we just go home now?" Mickey grumbled.

"Ah, but you are. Home, I mean," the Doctor said.

Rose and Mickey stepped outside into the London night, and Rose smiled at the man that she had adventures with these past two days.

"I suppose this is it, then!" the Doctor called to her. "That is unless you wanted to come with me."

"Is it always this dangerous?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said, "but this isn't just the London hopper you know. It can go anywhere in the universe free of charge."

Mickey interrupted. "Don't! He's an alien thing!"

"He is not invited," the Doctor said, fixing him with a cold stare.

"No, thanks," Rose replied.

"No?" he asked, like he wasn't used to hearing it.

"Yeah, no."

"Suit yourself!" he called and shut the door, the TARDIS dematerializing.

Rose turned and took Mickey's hand. They just started to walk off when she heard the TARDIS rematerialize. She turned to see the door open and the Doctor's head popped out. "Did I mention it can also travel in time?"

Rose turned to Mickey. "Thanks."

"For what?" he asked, a confused look on his face.

"Exactly." She kissed him and ran towards the TARDIS.
