Galaxies

Doctor Who /Glee crossover

Author's note:

THERE IT IS. Ahh. I just hope I can do it justice. Because Doctor Who was written by geniuses and well.. it'll be hard. But I'm so excited about it, so I'll try to do my best. Also, the song is Galaxies by Owl City.

Enjoy!

September, 2011

'' Armor the air lock,
Blanket the bed rock,
And kiss the planet goodbye.''

It was Quinn Fabray's last year at McKinley High and she could not simply describe how glad she was that it was going to be over soon. She couldn't wait to escape the boring town. She couldn't wait to run from the unpleasant memories that haunted her every single day. She couldn't wait to start a new life in a new city and show everyone she once knew that Quinn Fabray wasn't just some typical blonde cheerleader who was so stupid to get knocked up at 16. Yes, she couldn't wait to do all that. But sometimes, it doesn't quite go as you were expecting it to. Little did she know, fate had something else planned out for her. Something better than a new life in a new city. Quinn Fabray had never expected to share the wildest adventure of her life with an alien and his blue box.

September 7, 2011

It all began on a seemingly ordinary day. Everyone in Lima followed their usual routines they were so incredibly tired of. Even Quinn Fabray, the dreamer of improbable dreams, woke up that morning thinking that nothing special would happen. Nothing special ever happened in Lima. It was proudly wearing the title of the most boring town in the whole wide universe.

Nothing special ever happened in Lima. Until an alien came along.

''I don't see what's so special in your hippie music. I thought your taste would change if I.. improved your hair,'' commented a very amused Santana Lopez, snatching Quinn's ipod away from the now pink haired girl. ''Oh, Galaxies. Seriously? What's next, Nickelback? Please tell me you don't like Nickelback. I love you and all, but chica, your music taste makes me throw up in my mouth.''

The other girl just rolled her eyes in response to her sometimes unbearable best friend, shrugging apathetically.

''Ay dios mio, your whininess. Why are you so pissed at me? I know you only agreed to a haircut, but I thought it would look even nicer if I dyed it pink. And besides, even the hobbit said it fits you. At least that's what I thought she said. I was too busy visualizing the duct tape all over her enormous mouth.''

Sometimes Quinn hated the way Santana could always make her laugh when she was trying to be mad at her for doing something stupid. She couldn't help but burst out laughing at the insult towards Rachel Berry and it only encouraged the latina. Soon enough both girls were loudly discussing everything and everyone that crossed their mind (''Oh please. Stop defending him. Finn's teeth are brighter than he is.'') and with that, Quinn had fully forgiven Santana for dying her hair a color she couldn't stand.

The day passed unusually quickly and the girl found herself subconsciously strolling through the park on her way home. She was still listening to her hippie music, not caring about anything Santana had to say about it. After all, she didn't get Santana's taste either. That the main reason the pair of them were friends- they were completely different and it seemed to work out so well.

Quinn was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't hear a big blue blox landing right where the girl had stood a moment ago.

30 seconds later, the biggest adventure of her whole life began with a simple pat on the shoulder.

Quinn turned around, surprised that she hadn't heard the man approaching. Quickly pulling the earphone out of her ear, she raised an eyebrow in anticipation of what he would say to her.

''Excuse me, but where am I?''

Contrarily to her expectations, he wasn't from Lima. It took her a couple of seconds to realize that he sounded British.

''Um. Lima, Ohio?''

The man looked surprised. Stunned, even.

''How could it be?'' he muttered to himself, clearly not talking to Quinn. The situation was getting weirder with every passing second and when the girl finally noticed the big blue box that had appeared out of nowhere, she didn't know what to think. There was never a blue box in that park, that she knew for sure. But how could it have appeared in less a minute? Quinn's thoughts were interrupted by yet another question from the mysterious man.

''And the year?''

''Come again?''

''What year are we in?''

''Wh- I mean, 2011.''

''That's unusual.''

''What's unusual?''

''The year.''

''How could the year be un- Hey, are you okay?''

''I'm brilliant. And yourself?''

''No, I'm serious. Are you sure that you're okay?''

''Why shouldn't I be? It's year 2011 and I'm in Lima, Ohio. It's fantastic!''

''No, I mean.. You appeared out of nowhere and asked me what year it was. Your behavior is well, strange.''

''Oh. In my defence, I was just talking to Napoleon- and believe me, you should meet that guy. What a personality!- and then my tardis there-''

He paused to quirk his head toward the blue box only to astonish the girl even more.

''- brought me here. I was in the middle of talking to the great Napoleon himself. How discourteous of me. I should go back and apologize for disappearing like that, but I'm sure he understands. Like I said, great personality. And where was I again? Oh. Right. Weeeeeeelll, long story short, the tardis brought me here for some odd reason. Oh and I'm the Doctor by the way, if you're interested.''

When ''The Doctor'' finally stopped talking, Quinn was completely sure he was either mad or just high or both. Never had she ever met a man so strange but yet so normal and it was oddly appealing. Deep down inside the girl knew that she wanted to get to know him (even though he sounded bonkers) but her common sense told her to politely excuse herself and run the fastest she could.

Quinn never listened to her common sense.

And so she stood there for a long time, bombarding the Doctor with questions he so enthusiastically answered.

''So you're from Galli-''

''Gallifrey, yes.''

''An alien from Gallifrey who travels with a blue box and just talked to Napoleon? Right. Of course. ''

''Quite sarcastic, too.''

''I learnt from the best.''

''And the best being... ?''

''Santana Lopez.''

''Oh. You should meet Jackie Tyler. Now that's what I like to call sarcastic. You could learn many things from her. Like how to nag people to death.''

They kept talking about everything: history, people, even the weather. The moments the man made Quinn smile weren't rare. It seemed like she had never smiled so much in her entire, short life. It only took him ten minutes to make her believe that he really was all that, as it all seemed too true to be unreal.

''It's really hard to imagine all the places you have been to.''

''Then come with me.''

''I beg you par-''

''There's an entire galaxy waiting to be discovered. You seem like quite a dreamer. So I wouldn't mind sharing that experience with you.''

When the Doctor finally asked the question that turned Quinn's life upside down, the girl didn't even hesitate before answering. She didn't think about the coincidences, about her family, a few people she cared about, her future career.

Nobody cared anyway. Her mother only took her back because it was the right thing to do. The whole glee club would only care for a short amount of time, then replace her with some kid with mediocre voice. Beth had Shelby. Santana... Santana had Brittany. She was the third wheel anyway. Everyone had a special someone. Everyone but her. And now that she got the chance to experience something exciting with someone she truly liked, why would she turn it down?

''Yes.''

''Yes?''

''Yes.''

''Brilliant!''

And with that one simple world, the adventure began.
