Echo walked into a small diner somewhere in London, 2013. Almost instinctively, he looked around, gaining awareness of his senses. His eyes caught a table of three people, a red-head girl, a blonde guy, and a black-haired man. They all looked the same age.
He knew automatically that one of them was the man known as the Doctor, and the other known as the Resurrected Roman. And the other, according to the stories he read, was called the Girl Who Waited. He thought that was a perfect title for him now, as he is waiting until his trip to the End of Time to re-unite with Me and Clara.
Almost like he could sense his presence, the Doctor turned around to see Echo. He motioned for him to go come and sit next to him.
"Amy, Rory, this is Echo. He's a very old friend of mine."
"Hi." Amelia and Rory said at the same time.
Echo just nodded, smiling and sat down next to the Doctor.
"So, why are you here?" The Doctor asked.
"Just waiting. Though I'd find you here. Won't stay for long. Where are you now?"
"Well, I just took Amy and Rory to take a look at the Trojan War from a helicopter's viewpoint. I was planning to take the on a trip to the Gardens of Ameus."
"The Gardens of Ameus! The Universe's number 1 walk-through garden! I love that place."
There was a slight change in the atmosphere, almost as if Echo said something to trigger it. It was colder now, and the door opened and a man who looked eerily similar to President Nixon walked in.
"That's not possible. Is that a Tesele..."
"Teselecta. What the hell is a Teselecta doing here." Echo said. "Nothing important that could effect Time or Space is happening, so why are they here?"
The Doctor and Echo started whispering back and forth. Amelia saw the machine and whispered to The Doctor, "Isn't that the President of the United States? 42 years ago?!"
A few minutes later, after they thought everyone was calm, there was a faint noise heard from outside. Echo could make out "...terminate." He looked at the Doctor, who was mouthing the word "Ex" over and over again.
"Ex ex ex ex ex, what does that mean?"
"Doctor..." Rory said.
"They're not just saying 'Ex.'" Amy said.
"Exterminate!" It said again.
"Run!" Echo said.
The Doctor, Echo, Amelia, and Rory started running, but the Teselecta, out of nowhere, grabbed the Doctor's arm. Two more 'people' got up, like machines, and grabbed Amy and Rory. Echo was grabbed by a young girl.
"Doctor..." Echo said. "They aren't Teselectas. They're Clockwork Droids, working for the Daleks!"
"Exterminate!" The window shattered and three gold Daleks and a black Dalek moved into the diner.
"Oh even worse!" The Doctor said. "The Cult of Skaro!"
"Where is the Impossible Girl!" The black Dalek, Dalek Sec, said.
"Tell us! Tell us!" The other three said.
"Clara? You're looking for Clara?" Echo said. "Clara's dead. What do you want with her."
The Daleks were silent for a moment, Sec's one eye stalk starring at Echo.
"Scan shows that the Time Lord is lying! Explain! Explain!" Dalek Sec said.
"Clara's dead! She got killed a long, long time ago! I'm not lying, you stupid little tin cans!" Echo was obviously upset, that he hadn't noticed that the Doctor, Amy, and Rory had gone missing!
"You've got to be kidding me..." He said.
"Oh Echo, they're safe." The all-too familiar voice of Clara Oswald was heard from behind.
Echo turned his head in time to see Clara, dressed as a waitress, and Me walk out of the kitchen.
"Long time, no see." Me said.
"Clara... you're..." Echo could barely manage.
"Alive? No. Still stuck between one heartbeat and the next."
Echo sighed. "Daleks," was all he said.
Almost on cue, Me pulled out a sonic blaster and shot them.
Echo's eyes widened. "You just killed the Cult of Skaro!"
"No," she said. "I killed them again. You see, they were already dead before, but when Davros rebuilt Skaro, he rebuilt the Cult of Skaro. And now they're dead. Again."
"Oh, okay!" Echo said sarcastically. "So, you two really do meet up and travel!" Then he remembered something. "Where am I?"
"Oh don't worry," Clara said. "You're in the TARDIS. Couldn't risk you coming out."
Me just randomly shot all of the Clockwork Droids.
"The Doctor, Amy, and Rory all escaped. I teleported them back to their TARDIS."
"Why did the Cult of Skaro want you, Clara?"
"Because I should be dead. It's, how do you put it, impossible."
"Fair enough."
"So Echo," Me said. "This was your insurance. We really will see you later. Now go, I believe you have a garden to see!"
So Me and Clara went back into the TARDIS, and the diner dematerialized, leaving Echo in the middle of London with 4 dead Daleks.
