A/N: Of course I'm making a second chapter, Timewarp100! It's a series. Like with Doctor Who there will be 'serials' made of two to five chapters that tell their own little stories. They'll all be linked by a story arc, too. Many of them are an excuse for me to briefly re-visit an older story. This one is based on the never-finished A Strange New World was my first post-SciFi Fan's Adventure story. I never completed it and have moved on so far since then that I probably won't ever be able to.


Strange New World, Pt. 1:

When the Professor's ship stopped nobody made a sound or even moved. There was this strange feeling in the room. Everyone knew that the moment they stepped out of this TARDIS they'd officially have left New York. So far Jon and Mia still hadn't seen anything of this 'new world' save for the inside of the ship. So to them Jon's backyard could be just outside. There wasn't any proof they'd left.

"Shall we see what's... out there?" Mia asked nervously.

"Please do. I can't wait to get to work. You see, I haven't met this version of Trixie yet. She's the daughter of Magenta and Riff Raff in this world."

"Trixie's the usherette, isn't she?" Jon said.

The Professor chuckled. "Sort of. I don't really want to explain it all now because it's terribly complicated. I will say that Trixie exists in nearly every dimension. One universe's Trixie travelled with me. Odd, isn't it?"

Nobody replied. The Earthlings were both too panicked. It was sort of scary now. They'd run off with a man in a red box on a whim. This worried bright young Mia Foreman, even.

"It's Thursday, January 10. We should be parked behind Denton's only High School," The Professor explained.

It was time to exit the ship. Without even really realizing it Mia grabbed onto Jon's hand. Then... they opened the door. The sun shone brightly upon them, briefly blinding the two Earthlings. Despite this it happened to be a terribly cold day. Well, it was January!

Soon enough they realized that they'd parked among a few dumpsters.

Then, the three of them walked towards the front of the building. Since school had (apparently) just let out these three strangers didn't seem too out of place. Well, the Professor did. Though he looked enough like a teacher to not stand out.

"We need to find Trixie, or at least figure out who she is," the Professor told them.

"Hey, Trixie!" they heard someone shout.

The sound drew their eyes towards a group of three teenagers.

"That's Trixie, isn't it?" Jon said, pointing to a redheaded girl near them.

She stood next to a pickup truck. The person sitting in the driver's seat had the same wild red hair. The two redheads then began to have some sort of hushed conversation that ended with. Eventually she walked over to where her friends - well, those who'd shouted at her - stood.

"Go eavesdrop on them," the Professor whispered, gesturing towards Trixie and company.

So Jon and Mia mingled with a crowd of students near enough. They really did blend in well. At this point the Professor sort of disappeared.

This little group included two boys and two girls (including Trixie). One of the boys wore a leather jacket, jeans, and a plain shirt. He had messy dark hair and a pale face, which contrasted starkly. That was Eddie, both Jon and Mia separately decided. The other boy wore a button down shirt, khakis, and a v-neck sweater. He looked younger than the others and wasn't someone from the film (he was clearly too short to be younger Brad). Mentally, Mia dubbed him 'Mr. Square'. The girl had chin-length dirty-blonde hair and grey eyes. She wore a tee shirt with odd words on it, a short skirt, glittery shoes, and fishnet stockings. After a moment Mia came to the conclusion that she was younger, slightly more innocent Columbia.

"Wait… weren't you sick?" Trixie asked the other girl.

"I, er, got better," she explained nervously.

Mia was somewhat suspicious now. She wanted to say something about it to Jon, but then someone might notice them.

"Why don't we go to the Ice Cream Shop?" 'Mr. Square' asked, probably hoping to change the subject.

Everyone seemed to agree to that. Even, though he didn't say anything.

"So… what do you guys usually do after school?" I asked as we walked.

"We wander around town, go window shopping…" the square began.

"…smoke cigarettes, get drunk," Laura added.

"… an' listen to rock n' roll."

They were a very odd group, Mia thought. Something about the Squarer one didn't fit with the others. He looked like the sort of person nice little Mia would get along with. Yet she'd always had a soft spot for greasers...

Everyone - including Jon and Mia - first went to the ice cream shop and some got a snack. Even though there was frost on the ground and most people wore coats, they still ate frozen desserts. Trixie, Columbia, and the square boy got vanilla milkshakes... but the shop's owners kicked Eddie out before he could even say what he wanted, to Mia's amusement. If she'd had any money with her Mia would've bought a milkshake too. Jon wouldn't have bought anything even if he had money.

After our snack they wandered around for a while. They did the window shopping Though they didn't notice, both Mia and Jon were following them all the way. Then the four sat down on a bench near the edge of town. Luckily, there were more bushes and a collection of pretty little trees. Everything in that garden was the sort that was green year-round. So Jon and Mia blended in well enough. Though the four

Eddie lit a cigarette, and then offered one to Columbia.

"No thank you, sweetheart," she muttered.

"You aren't turning into one o' them, are ya?" he asked.

"Just because she doesn't feel like smoking today doesn't make her one of the good kids," the Square pointed out.

"That's right," Trixie added.

They sat there for a while, in silence. It

"I think I'd better be getting home," Columbia said quietly. She looked sort of annoyed.

"So do I," Glen added thoughtfully.

They all wandered in separate directions then. It was Columbia who stayed around longest, weirdly. And she had hardly even begun to walk away from the bench when she spun around and glared at the bushes in which Mia and Jon were hiding...

"I know you're hidin' in the bushes. Now, who the hell are you? Please say you aren't my dad's stupid officers."

Mia and Jon turned to stare at each other. Though neither said a word, they both knew what the other was thinking. That happened to be "We're Screwed".
