A.N- Readers! Please forgive me that I haven't updated in almost a week! I've have been so absolutely busy with finals and projects and grades... it's been hectic. This is probably the first time I've had a true break since the weekend. I hope that you guys could forgive me and keep reading and reviewing! Enjoy the chapter! XD.

Scarlet sighed. She had been non-stop adventuring and military training for the past couple days and she was still beat, even after the power nap at Jack's place. The Doctor couldn't know where she had been, so she decided to keep her groans of pain to herself.

The Doctor ran through the hallway and into the control room, running in circles and petting the controls. Scarlet smiled, she enjoyed seeing the kid in The Doctor, it was always better than when he was screaming or yelling.

"So," He looked over to the girls. "Where shall we go today?"

"Well we picked last, I guess it's your turn." Clara said smiling. She always liked where The Doctor picked, except when they were being chased by Cybermen, or crazy Martians.

"Perfect! I know just the place." The Doctor made a couple circles around the controls. It looked as though he was looking for a specific control. When he had found it, he did a little jump in the air and leaned in to press it. He was too late, the TARDIS started to shake, taking off.

"Why is the old cow taking us somewhere!" Clara shouted, but the TARDIS replied with a worried noise.

"I don't think she is." Scarlet exclaimed as the TARDIS landed. But it didn't make a churning groaning voice, it crashed, a loud bang echoing in the room. All three of them fell to the floor.

Scarlet was the first to get up, helping Clara up. By the time she was off the ground and done complaining, The Doctor was up and heading for the door.

"Doctor! Shouldn't we check where we are first!" Scarlet yelled. But it was too late, The Doctor froze in the door way slowly putting his hands into the air.

"Doctor, what is it!" Clara said as she and Scarlet ran out next to him. Clara froze, putting her hands up just like The Doctor. Scarlet didn't know what was going on, so she followed their motions.

"WE HAVE AQUIRED A TARDIS, TWO TIMELORDS ABOARD, EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE!" The large group of pepper shakers chanted. They all squinted as their guns fired.


Scarlet closed her eyes and turned away. Not even a proper hello, she thought. But I guess this is how some aliens greet their visitors, shoot first and ask questions later. She felt kind of...unaccomplished. She thought maybe she would regenerate saving a life or doing something cool. She thought quickly, diving in front of Clara as the lasers fired. But they never reached their victims, being absorbed by a force field around them.

"WHAT IS THIS DEFENSE?" One of the bigger salt shakers asked.

"My TARDIS, I forgot I had that installed, by the way, Scarlet, these are Daleks; hostile balls of hate that apparently can't harm us." The Doctor smiled. Scarlet pulled herself off the ground to see Clara beaming at her. She must have realized what she tried to do. "Just don't go past the force field." He added as they were getting a little to close.

"THE TIMELORDS WILL SURRENDER." The bigger Dalek, probably the leader said.

"Why? We can just leave right now and be on our way." The Doctor turned around to walk into the TARDIS, then some thing came into his mind. He turned around and pointed at the leader.

"Why didn't you call me by my name? Oswin didn't erase the hive mind yet, we're too far in the past. You should know me."

"WE DO NOT KEEP NAMES OF UNIMPORTANT TIMELORDS IN OUR HIVE MIND."

"What planet are we on?" The Doctor said, a little worried.

"THE PLANET OF THE DALEKS."

"Yes, but which one?"

"THE ONLY PLANET OF THE DALEKS, SKARO." The Doctor took a step back, Skaro was almost destroyed during the time war and the Daleks ditched it, letting it rot, this place looked new, and clean.

"Doctor," Scarlet had managed to figure out what year it was. "It's 54018 of the Gallifreyan calendar, we've gone before the Time War." The Doctor ran into the TARDIS, but the leader shouted after him.

"THE TARDIS HAS BEEN IMBOBILIZED." The Doctor ran back out, with anger on his face. He pondered for a millisecond, then got onto his knees and put his hands up once again.

"Fine, we surrender. What do you want?" He gestured for the girls to get on their knees as well. They followed.

"YOU MUST MEET OUR DEMANDS."

"And what are those?" The Doctor asked, keeping his cool.

"WE NEED HER." The Dalek pointed its eyestalk in the direction of Scarlet.
