p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"6:15am (114 years prior) Midway down Horseshoe falls in Niagra Falls Canada/p
p class="MsoNormal" A loud crash to the side of a blue police box made the man inside jump and drop the bowtie he was trying to tie. He walked to the door and opened it dumbfounded. Outside a woman in a swimsuit frantically clutched the door, her feet dangling over Horse Shoe falls./p
p class="MsoNormal" "Hello, I'm the doctor," he said extending a hand and helping her inside the blue box which was much bigger on the inside./p
p class="MsoNormal" The woman inhaled deeply holding her chest and then looked around awe struck./p
p class="MsoNormal""Am I dead?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""No, you crashed into my Tardis."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Your what?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Time and relative dimension in space. Anyway, what are you doing in the middle of the falls? Odd place to take a swim."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I emwas/em going over it in a barrel, but my barrel," she trailed off, looking toward the open tardis door. "It seems to be missing. When I went over the falls the barrel turned over and I fell out."/p
p class="MsoNormal""What did you say your name was again?" The Doctor questioned./p
p class="MsoNormal""Annie, Annie Taylor."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Brilliant! I was hoping I'd be on time." The Doctor stated with glee./p
p class="MsoNormal""Are you sure I'm not dead? This box…and,"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Defiantly not dead, but we will have to do something about your barrel. Hang on." He said walking to a large console and flipping a switch./p
p class="MsoNormal" The Tardis gave a groan and shook as it began to take off. Annie gripped a sliver handle bar tightly, still wondering if she was dead./p
p class="MsoNormal" "Right, here we are." The Doctor said going to the Tardis door. He opened it with ease and began fishing something out of the water. "You could give me a hand."/p
p class="MsoNormal" Annie cautiously walked to the door and saw her barrel, bobbing in the water as the mist danced around them. Together they dragged it inside and stood it upright./p
p class="MsoNormal" "Should I take you back to the top and have you try it again then?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" Annie scoffed, "span style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #252525; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"I would sooner walk up to the mouth of a cannon, knowing it was going to blow me to pieces than make another trip over the Fall./span"/p

He pulled out his sonic screw driver and reinforced the steel carefully leaving enough room for the barrel to be reopened. Using caution he sent the barrel bobbing in the water once more. /span/p
