Chapter One: Welcome To Earth, Doctor!
Please note these are short chapters purposely. If you want more, review!Jackie Tyler waited impatiently, checking her watch - going to the window, checking her watch again. Where were they?
The ghosts were more numerous now, blurry but real. If you touched one you got a tingle.
Of course, the minute they'd appeared she'd known what to do. Who to call.
So where were they? She had called over an hour ago. Where the bloody hell were they!
Her musings were interrupted by the grinding background noise, a sound that was music to Jackie Tyler's ears. They were here!
The TARDIS materialised in its familiar spot and the Doctor stuck his head outside.
"Hullo? Jackie?" He called. No response, as Jackie was already legging it downstairs.
"Typical. Sends out an SOS, says its urgent and then isnt here when we turn up!" He mock grumbled.
From inside the TARDIS console room, Rose bit back an obvious remark about his time keeping, knowing it would not be appreciated right now.
Jackie arrived panting into the courtyard and waved frantically at the Doctor, having just spotted something. Mistaking her wave for one of enthusiasm and not a warning, the Time Lord waved back.
"I think your Mom's been on the Bolly again.." He whispered in an aside to Rose, whilst still grinning at Jackie.
"No.. get back... get back inside!" She gasped out.
The Doctor frowned, not quite hearing.
"Huh? No Rose is - oh." He didnt finish the sentance, immediately pulling the door closed behind him and hiding Rose.
The army squad didn't appear to have noticed the quick maneovre.
Neither did their rifle aim falter - all squarely pointed at the alien extraterrestrial standing outside his spaceship.
"I tried to warn you!" Jackie had finally made it to the TARDIS.
"Yeah, thanks for that." Said the Doctor.
And raised his hands in surrender.
