Me: Ok, so this situation is giving me some major déjà vu here. But I'm not complaining. I have a TARDIS...let's see...* leaves and returns with spiked hair, and dressed in brown pinstriped suit, and trainers* ALLONS-Y!
P.S. Guest1, you asked if the Doctor is in his 9th regeneration or his 10th. Currently, this is the Chris Eccelston version, later he shall regenerate to David Tennant. Hope that clears it up. :)
Chapter One
"Hello, I'm the Doctor." He grinned. "I assume you've already met Rose?"
"Doctor who?" Raph demanded. "Doctor kidnap-a-buncha-teenagers-and-run-off-in-a-weird-box-thing?"
"First of all, I didn't kidnap you. I rescued you from the Weeping Angel." The Doctor's wide grin had faded, and his face had molded into an extremely stern expression. "Unless you'd rather me bring you back and let you all be sent back in time to where you'll likely all die the same day you were born, I suggest you shut up and try to pay attention."
Raph shut up, although not entirely believing this Doctor character just yet.
"Second of all, this-" He gestured to the interior of the police box around them "-is not 'a weird box thing.' This is the TARDIS. She's my spaceship."
"'TARDIS'?" Donnie asked.
"Yeah, TARDIS. T-A-R-D-I-S. Time And Relative Dimension In Space." Rose answered. "It's an acronym."
"So why does it look like a police box if it's a spaceship?" Leo's eyebrow went up. He had been standing by the doors, arms crossed, obviously suspicious of the pair who had rushed them into the box. Had he not sensed extreme danger, he would never had let them be dragged into this.
"Camouflage circuit." The Doctor replied, flipping a switch.
"But there haven't been police call boxes like this since...the '50s?" Leo shook his head, clearly not buying it. "How do you explain that?"
"It's broken."
"So fix it."
The Doctor shifted his gaze to Leo, his countenance severe. "It's my ship, and I don't want to fix it." He watched Leo silently, waiting-no, daring him to retort.
Leo's face remained cool, and he didn't take the bait, but something told Mikey that his older brother was rather disturbed by the Doctor's challenge.
"So..." The youngest turtle drawled, speaking for the first time. "You aren't freaked out about us being different or anything."
"Obviously because he's different, too."
The Doctor said nothing. There was nothing to say. Leo, observant as always had hit the nail on the head. "As for her..." Leo glanced at Rose. "She's seen different."
"Leo," Mikey said. "You aren't usually like this." The older turtle didn't reply, so Rose spoke up.
"He's a Timelord, from a planet called Gallifrey." She told the four. "So...yeah, he's a bit different."
"We're from Earth." Raph grunted. Rose looked surprised.
"...Really? Then...why are you..." She waved at them awkwardly, not quite wanting to say "turtles".
"We were just turtles, once upon a time." Donnie began. "But...some real aliens...meaning we aren't aliens, from a place called Dimension X brought this ooze called mutagen, and it got on us and our...well, we call him our father anyway. We're technically adopted, I guess? It's complicated. Anyway, it was that alien ooze stuff that turned us into this."
"Oh...alright then." Rose smiled at him and turned to the Doctor. "Where are we headed?"
"Right now, we're on the way to London." he replied, hitting a switch. "You need to go home."
"But Doctor, we just met..." She turned to the four turtles and arched an eyebrow. "What are your names?"
"I'm Michelangelo!" Mikey said. "But you can just call me Mikey. That's Donnie, Raph, and Grouchy over there is Leo."
"I'm not grouchy, Mikey." Leo sighed and approached the Doctor. "So you took us from New York, why?"
"Saving you." The Doctor poked a couple of buttons. "Weeping Angels are a nasty bunch."
"What are Weeping Angels?"
"That statue on the roof was a Weeping Angel."
"It was a statue. There are plenty of those in New York. Plenty of angels specifically."
"The thing is," said the Doctor. "That angel wasn't really a statue. It was a creature."
"This will require some explaining." Leo said, leaning against some railing.
After the Doctor had explained Weeping Angels to the turtles, and returned Rose home to a very worried Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith (At least that's what he said. The Doctor called him Ricky...Mikey was eavesdropping from inside the TARDIS.), the Doctor said that he was going to take the turtles home, if they liked.
"If we like?" Raph asked, incredulous. "What, do you think that we'd rather stay with you? Puhlease."
"She did." The Doctor shrugged. "Apparently, traveling through time and space is a pretty popular thing with most people."
"You can travel through time?" Donnie asked. "Impossible!"
"Not impossible. The TARDIS is a time machine. Shall I demonstrate?"
The Doctor's crazy grin had returned. Donnie and Mikey nodded eagerly, and Raph threw his hands up indifferently. Leo frowned.
"How can we trust you?" He asked.
"You can't." Said the Doctor.
"You're a complete stranger. How do we know you aren't kidnapping us?"
"You don't."
"C'mon Leo, it's three to one!" Mikey begged.
"Make that four." The Doctor said, cheerfully grinning. "I love traveling."
Leo sighed. "Whatever. But Master Splinter is gonna have our shells if we get home late."
"We'll only be gone 12 seconds!" The Doctor exclaimed, pulling a switch. "Backwards or forwards?"
"Backwards!"
"Forwards!"
"Forwards it is then!" The Doctor inclined his head to Mikey and Raph and began pressing buttons.
"Sewer apples, what have I gotten us into now?" Leo muttered.
"Well, don't just stand there, take a look!" The Doctor grinned. Donnie was the first to the TARDIS doors, peeking out the doors hesitantly at first, and then flinging them open.
The four turtles could've sworn that they weren't even on Earth anymore. And they would have been right.
"In case you didn't notice, we're no longer on the planet Earth." The Doctor said, stating the obvious.
"We noticed…" Leo said, looking around in an awed way. One by one, the turtles followed, one by one.
"Where are we, if not on Earth?" Raph asked.
"We're in the year 5 billion," The Doctor replied casually, as if this was his every day. Which, Leo reminded himself, it probably was. "Welcome to Platform One!"
"5 billion?" Donnie repeated skeptically. "Platform One?"
"Mhm!" The Doctor grinned. "I've already brought Rose, so we need to be careful not to cause a paradox. I've hidden the TARDIS a bit better than the last time, and I've got myself a disguise." He looked at the four turtles sternly. "Make sure you stay out of the way of my other self. We need to let events follow the same order as the last time I was here. Avoid other me and Rose, and we're good. Oh!" The Doctor ducked behind a door, dragging the turtles with him. Mikey peeked out and saw…The Doctor and Rose. This was crazy.
As the four turtles watched other Doctor and Rose have a conversation, they all wondered simultaneously, 'What next?'
