1st chapter is here! I'll try to update as often as I can! Also, thanks so much for the amount of reviews/favs/views for my fic "The Plan"! Keep it up! :)


Intergalactic Cruise-liner White Nova was a huge cruise-ship; but unlike the ones you'd usually see on Earth. The White Nova was twice the length of the Earth, carried 2 million passengers, and most of all, it was a spaceship. It toured solar systems, galaxies, and let passengers explore alien planets. Despite being owned by humans; the ship accommodates for many species.

Today the ship was cruising the planet Fresto 4, a planet populated by humanoid aliens with purple skin. The planet was tropical; high temperatures, transparent seas and clear green sky. It was also a popular intergalactic tourist spot.

With a population of 20 billion, the streets were always crowded and it was difficult to move. 13-year-old Ashley East was just one of the 2 million passengers on board the White Nova. The guests had been allowed the full day to explore the planet.

Ashley was sunbathing on one of the many beaches, with her parents: Hannah and Martin and her brother Darren. The hot orange sand scorched her almost bare back.

"Mum," Ashley called over to her mother, who was engrossed in an e-book on a sun-lounger. "I'm going in the sea."

"You be careful, dear," she called back. "Lord knows what alien sea-life could be on this planet."

Ashley nodded and ran over to the sea, constantly having to lift her feet off the sand, avoiding the heat. It was a huge relief when her feet touched water.

Her purple bikini was a plus in this heat, since if she'd chosen to wear her one-piece swimsuit she would've scorched. The sea temperature was almost like a desert, and didn't take much time to get used to as Ashley dived under, her long red hair spreading out behind her. The sight was breathtaking. A school of ten-eyed fish swam around some coral, something resembling a stingray brushed over the sea bed.

Patterns of yellow light danced on the sea bed as Ashley continued to swim further and further out. She was amazed by the different types of aliens she'd encountered. The water was gradually getting deeper and deeper as she swam.

Ashley stopped swimming and came up for a breath quickly, immediately plunging back underwater after. In the distance she saw a dark shape. It looked cuboid-shaped, but she couldn't make out what it was. Maybe it was just some spaceship-wreck, she thought to herself. But being the curious person that she was, she couldn't resist going to see what it was.

Taking in another lungful of air just in case, Ashley dived back underwater and began to swim towards the object. As she swam, she didn't care about how far out she was, even though she was probably going to get eaten alive by her mother if she found out.

The shape was getting clearer and clearer the closer she got to it. She'd now worked out that it was blue, some sort of box perhaps. After a while she had to go up to get another lungful of air, then dived back under again. What was this thing? Definitely didn't look like a spaceship to her.

Maybe it was a container dropped by a spaceship, she thought.

Ashley's eyes widened behind her goggles and bubbles began to rise from underneath the box. It began to rise towards the surface. Ashley gasped as it continued to rise. What was it doing?

After a few seconds the box bobbed at the surface, rocking back and forth by the gentle waves. Ashley swam to the surface, and swam even closer to it. Is it possible that this could be an escape pod or something?

It certainly didn't look like one.

The doors opened inwards, startling Ashley. She was tempted to go look inside, but there didn't seem to be much room inside, so there couldn't be much in there. Then she noticed a pair of hands clasping the edge, followed by a blonde head popping out.

It was a boy, she knew that. Must have been an escape pod, she thought. Even though there doesn't seem to be much room in there.

The boy squinted around, and smiled. "Fresto 4! Wonderful planet, I think. Except I just had to land in the sea, didn't I?"

Ashley squinted. "Who are you?"

The boy's head whipped round to face her. He clearly hadn't noticed her until she'd spoken.

"Me? I'm the Director. This is the TARDIS, my spaceship. Now, can you help me tow her to shore?"
