Chapter 1

Arthur appeared to be a 20 year old with short brown hair and Caucasian skin tone. He dressed in jeans and plain white t-shirts, wearing a coloured shirt on top of that. He wore a leather strapped watch on his left arm and was classed as a nerd in society due to his love of Sci-fi and how academic he was. He was a good sprinter and could easily outrun pursuers. He lived a normal life, working in a Computer Retailers. He couldn't remember any of his childhood and, to his knowledge, had no family. He lived in a small flat in England with the only things he knew had been part of his family being an old wardrobe, which had a lock but he had lost the key, and a pocket watch that didn't work. He often had vivid dreams of space and hoped that he could visit them one day.

One ordinary day, Arthur woke up after having a different dream to usual. He had dreamt of a big blue box standing across the street from the shop he worked in. He thought little of it and just figured he had seen the box on the internet at some point and his mind placed it in that setting for some reason. He went off to work and, just to check, looked directly over the road from the shop for the box. As he figured, his head was playing tricks with him because, like always, there was no blue box. He went inside the store and lived out another day of his ordinary life.

Upon the end of the day in the store, it was Arthur's turn to lock up. So he stayed behind longer than everyone else to clean up and lock up. As he turned around from the shutters, having just locked them, he spotted something out of the corner of his eye. It was the box, not in the same place as his dream but further down the road. He looked straight at it and it began to fade from view. Mere seconds after having spotted the box, it was gone. Arthur headed straight home having put down the box sighting to stress. He had a day off the next day and was going to spend it shopping.

He woke up the next day after having a normal dream about space, no thoughts of the blue box in his head. He got up, got dressed and left for the Town Centre. To get to town, Arthur would have to pass the Computer store he worked at, and as he was he spotted the blue box again. This time it was directly across from the store, just like in his dream. He decided to cross the road and have a closer look at the box. As he came to the front he found out that it was an old fashioned Police Telephone box from the 1960's. As he was about to reach for the handle to attempt to open it, the door opened in the opposite direction, and out popped a peculiar man dressed like a professor but with the face of someone similarly aged to himself.

"Oh, hello there. Seems like you noticed us. Look's like the old girl's perception filter doesn't work on you. Why would that be then?" The strange man said. He had brown hair just like Arthur and seemed a bit odd about how he was referring to the box as a she, almost as if it was a machine.

"I saw this box in a dream I had the other night." Arthur told the strange man. "I don't understand though, there has never been a blue box here. I saw it last night too, but further down the street. How can this be possible." Arthur was extremely confused, nothing he knew could explain how this box existed.

"Well, you see, this isn't any old box. It's called a TARDIS and it's actually a time machine." The stranger answered. "Of course you should know all about TARDIS's Knight, you have your own."

"Who are you talking to?" Arthur replied, thinking this guy was a bit loopy. "In fact, what is your name?"

"Who, me? You know me, I'm the Doctor."
