Hey guys.

Don't worry. I'm not abandoning this story.

I decided that I'll make a sequel not instead of just continuing the Episodes. I'll probably do this for every Doctor Who story I have. Start a new part when the Doctor regenerates.

The story will be up as of October 21, 2018, and it's called An Original's Guide to the Universe.

Below is a little snippet from the first chapter since I try to make all my Author's Note chapters into... Well, more than ANs since I found out about something recently, so... Yeah

Enjoy,

Nick

"How would you know?" she snapped "I saw him sort of explode and then you replaced him, like a… a teleport or a transmat or a body swap or something." The Doctor only stared at the blonde girl silently, at a loss for words. Rose took several steps toward him. As soon as she was within arm's reach, she shoved him back "You're not fooling me. I've seen all sorts of things. Nanogenes… Gelth… Slitheen…" The Time Lord raised his eyebrows "Oh, my God, are you a Slitheen?"

"I'm not a Slitheen," the Doctor replied calmly.

Rose's voice rose to a shout "Send him back. I'm warning you… Send the Doctor back right now."

I stepped forward, getting between the two "Rose. The Doctor is the only one who can pilot the Tardis, right? If you don't believe it's him then let him show you. How about that?" I glanced over my shoulder at the Time Lord "Or you tell her something… Like… Erm, how you two first met?"

"Yes," the Doctor nodded excitedly "That's it. Very first word I ever said to you. Trapped in that cellar. Surrounded by shop window dummies… oh…" He looked away for a moment, reminiscing "Such a long time ago. I took your hand… I said one word… just one word, I said. Run." Then he looked at me "And you just randomly butted in and never left. And then we ran."

"I'll take that as a compliment," I scoffed. This Doctor certainly did seem to include me more than the last. He didn't seem to be as happy to let me hide in the background… I wasn't sure whether that was a good thing.

The Doctor smirked at me for a moment before turning back to Rose who had tears in her eyes by now "Doctor?" she whispered.
