Author's (Very Long) Note: I'm going to tell you right away. I'm American. I have only seen David Tennant for about a minute. So, I am writing this with the Ninth Doctor in mind. It is set in between episodes, I guess. If you want to move it in your mind to another season, go ahead, but don't be mad at me for getting stuff messed up, I have no idea what happens later. Second of all, as I share one computer with the whole family and go to school, updates will take a bit of time, so bear with me. I have to type them before I can post them. Thirdly, and this will be repeated at the bottom. If I have one loyal reader, this story will continue. If not, the story will be deleted. And lastly, I'm sorry about how badly this is written. I couldn't think of how to start it well.
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who. Duh.
Rose and the Doctor were in desperate need of a vacation from danger, so they went the one place where nothing bad, or interesting, ever happens: Oregon. Specifically, Corvallis, Oregon. Large enough to have something to do, small enough to be safe. Plus, they have really good scones. They were busy enjoying the sun, wandering down the streets and window-shopping the hippie stores, when they heard shouts up the street.
"Hey, you! Get back here!" Rose and the Doctor looked toward the shouts to see people getting shoved aside. Whatever it was, it was coming closer.
It was a girl. A girl that slammed into both of them and stopped. The Doctor had grabbed her by the arm to keep her from falling or running. She had a slight tan and copper hair with black highlights and tips. She stared at the two of them with the most piercing blue eyes either had ever seen. She wore faded, torn jeans and a torn black t-shirt. She had no shoes and had a black fingerless glove on her left hand. She looked terrified.
Her piercing eyes focused on Rose. "Rose?" She turned to the Doctor. "Doctor? Help me." She glanced from one to the other.
"Do we know you?" The Doctor gave the girl and then Rose a quizzical look.
"Stop her! Get back here!" The shouts had continued. The girl's eyes sparked with anger and fear and her head spun to stare back down the street. She wrenched herself out of the Doctors grasp and tore off down the street. Rose and the Doctor watched her barrel down the street for a second before they turned to see where the shouts were coming from.
A man ran past them and stopped shortly afterward, breathing hard. "Daphne! Come back here!" The Doctor and Rose stepped closer.
"Are you after that girl that just came by?" Rose bent over a bit to look him in the face. The Doctor was busy trying to see where 'Daphne' had disappeared to.
"Yes. I have to catch her before she…" The man had turned to look at the people he was talking to. Seeing the Doctor had stopped him in mid-sentence. "You…You are the Doctor. THE Doctor. I can't believe this. You've got to help me!"
"Um. Who are you, and why should we help? Especially when that girl… 'Daphne'…seemed so scared of you?" Rose had turned to look down the street as she said the name.
The Doctor and Rose exchanged worried glances as they heard his response.
"I'm a scientist, and 'Daphne' is no girl. She's a Dalek."
Author's Note: Well? Please review. I want to know what people think. Remember, if you love it, I'll keep writing, if you don't, it's bye-bye. Also, tell me what you think about "Daphne". I'm interested as to what people think of her so far. And of what you think will happen. I'll explain stuff in the next chapter, most likely. If you people are interested enough for another chapter.
