My head was ringing as if I had been hit with a tone of bricks, or run down by a horde of hippogriffs. I rolled to the side, trying to get up, while rubbing my eyes. Whatever that noise was, it was nearby. It sounded like electrical cables, and I could smell smoke.

I sat up, putting my back against something metallic and cold, and opened my eyes. I looked around, taking in the sights, confused. I was in some kind of large metallic room, well, a large metallic destroyed room. Electrical cables were buzzing with sparkles, on the other side of the room, I could see a small fire and everything was broken.

I used the metallic wall behind me as a means of getting up but continued on the same spot. I closed my eyes for a second and took in a large breath of air to calm the fuck down.

My name is Rina Minoru, I'm a twenty-two-year-old American citizen of Japanese descent who just finished college and is unemployed. I'm a Wiccan, who decided to go goth during my teen days because it kept annoying people away. I went to sleep in my bed, and I woke up in a weird place.

"Ok, all good." I murmured to myself, after focusing on remembering who I was.

The moment I heard my own voice I jumped frightened and opened my eyes in shock, covering my mouth with my hands. My voice wasn't my voice, it didn't even sound like me. When did I have a British accent? Everybody knows British accents are hot and all but what the hell?

Maybe I was just imagining it, it couldn't be possible. I carefully lowered my hands from my lips, prepared to try again.

"You're a wizard, Harry." I said, using the words of the brilliant J.K Rowling.

I gasped again, I was definitely going mental. Well, the third time's the charm.

"Life is full of whimsical happenings, Watson." I quoted Sherlock Holmes, before letting out a laugh in delight. "I'm bloody British."

The good mood lasted a few seconds until I frowned. "But why am I British?"

I looked down and noticed that I was wearing some kind of red dress. I pulled the dress up to notice I had on some weird looking sandals. I looked at my hands to find that my skin tone was a shade lighter than before. If that wasn't weird enough, I touched my hair and found it to be blonde and tied up. I was a damn Asian, since when had I gone Californian blonde?

I shook my head, everything made no sense and I just got more questions unanswered.

I looked at the strange room again, maybe something in this weird place could explain what was going on. I walked into the center of the room, being careful not to step into any electrical cables on the floor and took in the view of the full room.

The walls were colored in golden tones, the ceiling was high. There were various lights on the walls, but they were off. The only light that was on was the one on top of the center of the room, beneath it was some strange sci-fi looking table that was obviously damaged.

There was a large door to my right, and to my left, I could see some kind of corridor. I carefully walked to the door, trying to get out of this strange place and make some sense of what was going on.

I opened the front door and peeked my head outside, nothing could prepare me for what I saw. It was London, but weird London for sure. Hundreds of zeppelins covered the skies, this wasn't normal. I took a step outside gaping like a fish and looked to my right.

There, on top of some building, was a coca-cola advertisement. That wouldn't have surprised me, except the billboard was moving like a damn commercial. I covered my mouth to not let out a shocked scream and turned back to where I had come from.

This time I almost passed out from shock, too many shocks in one day. The strange room where I had come from looked like a red telephone box, the kind the tourist takes photos with when they come to London. How did that huge sci-fi room from before fit in a red box? Ok, I was officially going mad.

I swallowed and glanced back at the city of London. A strange room inside a red box or a weird London? Well, I didn't like people and the box was empty. Until I figured out what was going on the box it was.

I walked back in and closed the door in a hurry. The room looked the same as before, but the small fire had been put out. A fire that put itself out, that was the least strange thing about this situation.

I was about to start hyperventilating when I heard someone talk to me.

Your lack of rational thoughts is giving me a headache.

I stopped moving and looked around carefully, nobody was there. "Where are you? Who are you? Do you know what's going on?"

Quiet ape. Your pathetic brain does not have the ability to understand such a complicated matter.

"Well, excuse you imaginary voice." I replied, annoyed. "I'm having a hell of a day and now some imaginary voice, that sounds strangely like my new voice, is calling me dumb."

At least your aware of your species flaws, lack of intelligence is a way to identify homo sapiens.

"Who are you?" I demanded, glaring at everything around me. "Where the bloody way are you?"

Stupid ape, I'm in you. Well, actually your in me.

"In me?" I asked. "I'm in you? Am I in your body?"

According to your memories, the response of 'Duuh' would be quite appropriate.

"Ok. Ok. Ok. I'm in a body of a British blonde and not in a sexy hot kind of way." I babbled, biting my lip. "I'm in your body, which is why I'm British and blonde. How do I get to my body?"

You don't. I'm the superior mind, you'll soon be eliminated.

"Eliminated? Like dead?" I choked out afraid. "Can you not eliminate me?"

There's nothing in your ape mind worth keeping, I'm not an ape-lover like The Doctor.

"The doctor?" I asked, perplexed. "If you're going to just erase me from existence at least introduce yourself."

I'm the Rani, Time Lady of Gallifrey. There's no point in fighting back, you'll soon be erased from existence.

I didn't reply. Instead, I was running possibilities in my head. Time lady of Gallifrey? Didn't she mention a doctor? As in bloody Doctor Who? Is this some kind of nightmare or am I really in a body of a bloody alien from the telly? The zeppelins, of course. I liked that episode. I'm in Pete's world. But that means she's probably stuck, the walls of the parallels worlds are closed. But how? Only the Doctor and the Master survived, or was she meant to die if I didn't take over her body? Ugh, whatever. I don't even believe this is real, but if for some reason it is, maybe I can make a deal for my survival.

"You said you had the ability to see my memories right?" I asked, with a sassy tone. I was just going to wig this thing. "Can you check out the doctor who information? I know about the time war, I know about the Daleks and I know the future. Are you sure there's nothing in my ape mind worth keeping?"

The voice, The Rani, was quiet for a few seconds until she replied.

I thought you were a mere human persona created by the chameleon arch I had with me during the crash and that your fake memories had somehow blended with this regeneration. I assumed incorrectly, you seem to be a human-ape from a parallel universe where the doctor life is shown to the world. How strange, I can't seem to see it all. Only his regeneration after the time war, I understand that you know more but I cannot see it.

I let out a sigh of relief, the Rani couldn't see everything that I knew which means I could offer a bargain. "How about a bargain Time Lady? You don't erase me with your superior mind and I help you out with my superior knowledge of the future?"

The Rani hummed as if she was evaluating the situation. My tardis has crashed, the possibility of me fixing her in this primitive and parallel universe is low. If I were to keep you, you would have to give me a way around that small problem.

"Explain first how you would keep me without erasing me." I replied. I had never heard of the Rani, I had only watched New Who which was after the time war but this Time Lady was obviously more alike The Master than The Doctor. I might be an ape compared to the Rani but I wasn't easily tricked.

Well, I wouldn't allow you to control my body if that's what you're thinking. That is my body human, you're the body snatcher. The only way you can survive is for me to absorb you.

"What would that imply?" I asked.

Well, if you were a normal human I would already have all your memories. However, it seems I cannot access your memories of this future timeline, which means I need you conscious active for you to reply to questions.

"Two consciousness in one body, that never works out well." I replied, having read enough books and watched enough movies to know that.

Indeed, you're not that stupid for an ape it seems. The best way would be for us to blend our personalities into one, creating a joint consciousness. This is a new regeneration, one which hasn't had the time to create a new personality because of you, which would make the process easier.

"But if we mixed together, how would I be active to reply to questions? Would it be two personalities in one body?" I asked, still confused about this offer. I didn't want to be erased, I wanted to live. If my only option was to live in the body of an alien in a fictional world, I might as well do it.

The new personality would be a third consciousness, the two of us would be inside. Not dormant, mind you, but not in control of the body.

"You would become somewhat dormant in your own body? Why would you do that when you can erase me?" I asked, surprised. This was all-powerful time lady, why would she risk her existence for some information of the future? Even if I could tell her how to fix her TARDIS and help her return to her original universe, it would still be a hard price to pay.

For science. Not only would it help me return to my home universe, but it could also save my tardis and it would be a worthwhile scientific discovery. The first human-time lady personality metacrisis, how fascinating. You apes have tiny brains, but without a doubt, you do not lack imagination. Imagination with my timelord brain, I wonder what we could achieve. Plus, I wouldn't lose much, the one in control would still be me. Just a version of me with some extra bits.

"Ok, I think we have a deal." I replied, nodding along. Either this was a dream, well really a nightmare, or for some strange reason, this was real. I was a Wiccan, I believed in magic so ending up in another universe, a fictional universe, wasn't that unbelievable when one believed in magic. "How do we do this?"

You might want to lay down for this, I don't want my new face ruined from the fall before I can even take a look. Hurry up, we don't have all day.

I listened to the time lady and sat down with my back to the wall, exactly where I had woken up earlier and closed my eyes. If I thought the Rani was going to give me any heads up I was mistaken.

All of a sudden I saw a life that didn't belong to me flash through my eyes. At the same time, The Rani saw my life. Two become one. I was no longer Rina, I was the Rani and she was me.

I saw Gallifrey, with its brown lakes and grey clouds. With its orange sky at night, the beautiful red grass and tree with silver leaves. I saw myself as a time tot, playing hide and seek in a silver forest. I saw the drylands and the Untempered Schism, all of time and space in a single moment. I felt afraid, but I had left inspired. All that was and could ever be, the science and the mysteries. I wanted to figure it all out, from then all I wanted to do was research. Nothing else mattered. Scientific research was what gave me meaning.

I saw the Prydoninan Academy, the Deca. Ushas, my name as a student. The Doctor, Theta. The Master, Koschei. The Monk, Mortimus. Drax and the rest. Learning from Sendok, Borusa and Franilla. The interest I had in neurochemistry which I specialized in. The experiment I did on the rat, that ended up eating the Lord President's cat and biting the Lord President which forced him to regenerate. The one experiment that eventually turned me into a Renegade.

The escape from Gallifrey, I saw the experiments and the scientific breakthroughs. I also saw the amorality of the whole thing. I wasn't evil, but amoral because I simply didn't care about anything else but science.

Rina now understood why she, The Rani, didn't mind creating the third personality because the time lady didn't care about herself when it meant new scientific knowledge.

I saw myself allying with the Master against the Doctor, even when I thought they were both idiotic lumps.

One, liking to be entitled evil, had to create such overcomplicated plans worthy of Moriarty just for the fun of it. If he had used his intellect instead, he could have defeated the Doctor. In truth, I believed the Master never truly wanted to defeat his archenemy. He was like a cat playing with his food.

The other had such an obsession with the human species that could not be considered normal. From a perspective point of view, I could see what he saw in the lesser species. Their known preservation, their imagination, their faith. But The Doctor also forgot to see them for what they were, they were carnivorous greedy primates who cared only about themselves.

I saw my previous regenerations, some good others not so good. The first two were free to do what they liked. The second was a bit older, but it lasted until the time war. The TARDISes were all forcibly recalled back home the moment the Time War began. Even the Renegades had to contribute.

I spent three regenerations on the damn war, even if my primary job was to instruct the newly-loomed soldiers. Rassilon wanted my engineering skills more than he needed a teacher, so to force my hand he had forced two of my regenerations. The other one was because of a bloody Dalek.

The war took it's toll, by the end I just wanted to run and so I did. I put my mind to work to find a way to escape with a TARDIS without being pulled back home. The council had already closed the walls of the multiverse, so it gave me an idea. I created a breacher, which allowed me to make a tiny little hole in the walls, and I stole an operational TARDIS. I pulled the TARDIS through the hole, and voila new universe.

Except the trip was rough on the Tardis, and on me. I hit my head on the floor and triggered a regeneration.

That would have been within the scope of normality except that when I woke up someone else controlled my body, one human called Rina Minoru.
