Thank you my reviewer; Reviews are wanted because they tell me that people care about my writing, and they inspire me to write better.

Probably should have mentioned this in my first Chapter, but this takes place in the Doctor's timeline between Series/Seasons 6 and 7. Though I do not currently have plans to include Amy and Rory (nothing against them, but their will be enough characters already), I will include the two companions that hail from the 51st century. (mostly Jack). Plus two bonus companions.

Note from Future me: I lied, there are, as of December 29, 2013, 2 companions from Doctor Who itself that are going to be relevant to the actual story. Though I already changed my mind once, so there is a chance it may happen again (and cameos, well, their cameos). Now back to past me.

H.P., Hetalia fans; patience, Your canons will be integrated Episode 2 (The episodes are presented a la Doctor Who Season). Magic School Bus fans, your Episode 3.

Disclaimer: I've already said what I do and don't own, so from this point forward, I'll put down random trivia about me. I use semicolons a lot; more than most writers from what I've read.

Episode 1: The Madman and the Recluse: Part 2

She looked down at the freshly filleted rat skeleton that was devoured by, as this Doctor said, the shadows. Though not panicked, she certainly was surprised that the Doctor's words were true. Perhaps he is not as mad as he appeared. He certainly has knowledge if anything.

The doctor meanwhile waved his metal rod at the outside lights of the house, and they suddenly turned on.

"How are you doing that?" Chell inquired.

"Doing what?"

"Turning on the lights; you're pointing a metal stick at them and they are turning on."

"It's my sonic screwdriver." The Doctor waved his sonic screwdriver

"It can turn lights on from a distance."

"Yeah it's cool!"

"What else can it do?"

"Oh you know, put up shelves, unlock doors, identify species, it works on almost everything!"

"Can it kill the Vashta Nerada thing?"

"No, it can't kill anything."

"Well since you know so much about this damn insect do you know what kills the damn thing!?"

"I don't know; how do you expect me to know. Well I am a genius, not to be vain but I am, but I don't know much about it at all." Chell listened and wondered how someone of his 'genius' could be so incompitent.

"Do you have any ideas on how to fight it!?"

"Chell," he said pointing at the shadow, which was beginning to extend towards them. "It noticed us. Run!" The doctor took the light off the top of a lamppost grabbed Chell by the hand and they ran. The light stayed bright due to the curious rewiring done by his screwdriver. Chell was intrigued by this screwdriver that could rewire electronics without touching them. All it appeared to do was glow green at the tip and make an odd sound.

"Do you have a plan?" Chell exasperatedly asked the Doctor.

"No, plans are rubbish but I have something better; much better than any old plan."

"What?"

"I have a thing; a thing that we'll get us out of here."

"What kind of thing?"

"I don't know yet. It's a thing in progress."

Chell audibly sighed.

"Hey, don't disrespect the thing. And keep running, they're probably still after us."

As they ran across the seemingly endless Prairie, the sun began to set. The Shadows were falling and apprehension slowly crept upon the pair. The Doctor made quick turns as he ran, saying that he was looking for a way towards water; he was relatively sure that it would slow them down. Chell's anger had somewhat cooled, though she was still irked by the Doctor's 'genius', so she decided to continue her interrogation of this Doctor.

"So, you never answered my question; doctor who?"

The Doctor turned his head to see the shadow had stopped advancing, though it could easily be trying to lure them back whilst the sunset drawing ever nearer. He never stopped running. He heard the faint sound of water water if she was listening for it.

"Please, just call me the Doctor."

"And why must I just call you the Doctor."

"My name is a terrible secret; people have tried to kill me in fear that I would reveal it. Most people right now actually assume they've succeeded."

The Doctor then skidded to a stop. He had looked up and seen the forest far off into the distance. Chell stopped behind him and also looked up to see the wood ahead of them. They both recognized that this was a trap; a textbook trap. The Vashta Nerada weren't using their energy to chase them because they needn't bother. If Chell and the Doctor entered the forest, they would be eaten in the Vashta Nerada's prime habitat, and if there was an escape from the prairie, they would have been pursued by the deadly insect. Of course there was an escape, the Tardis, but that would be surrounded by the waiting shadows. Night would fall soon, so Chell and the Doctor had to act fast.

"So, where's that thing that you were going to use."

"The thing takes time. Don't worry, I'll get us out of here just watch me."

Chell hadn't much experience in speaking or wit or sarcasm; however, the prospect of certain death brought the words out of her mouth, like they were straight from the Doctor's worst fears.

"Wonderful, I can now confirm that you have hero complex. Anyway I'm sure there is a certain irony in that the first sentient being I find since escaping the hell hole I used to call home; good old Aperture Science; is the direct cause of my death. I probably could have survived another month at least, but you had to draw the attention of an alien insect swarm with a blue box. You know what, I'll be positive. Maybe I could start a forest fire with the raw materials of this field before the sun sets and get the insect displaced. Well I suppose that would also make it directly attack me out of anger and dash my hypothetical chances of survival. But hell I'll try it, I'm sure living an extra two seconds is completely worth it. I'm sure you're interested in joining me. I assume that you'll want to help some future generation by displacing their breeding grounds."

She couldn't really have guessed how the Doctor would react to her statement, though she had several reactions she was not at all prepared for. A clever grin that stretched across the Doctor's face was one of them.

"That's absolutely brilliant!" The doctor smiled wide and started to run back towards the town. "Come along Chell, you've saved us."

"What the hell are you doing!?" Chell ran after him.

"The thing, you figured out the thing!"

"What!?"

The doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver and pointed it at the lantern. "I just need to maximize the oxygen concentration and the stored electrical energy, and dropping it will be all it takes"

"Fire!" Chell exclaimed.

"I told you the thing would save us! And it's all thanks to your idea."

He was somewhat compitent

"Are you sure it will work?"

"I have absolutely no idea."

Chell sighed, but kept running, this plan at least seemed somewhat viable. They kept running approximately the way they came. And ended up in the back of a house next door to the one Chell had been staying at. Chell had shied away from the house after seeing that in the back there was a single tombstone that said: "Here rest a gathering of incalculable, unidentifiable people who, even in death, have served their country." The house also had a second story porch in the front with a staircase leading to the ground that had more than a few stairs missing. The doctor quickly told Chell his plan and then proceeded to nimbly hop up the stairs of the porch, attracting the attention of the massive shadow that was swirling around the Tardis, hoping to get inside. Chell had followed the Doctor up the stairs, though not as nimbly, and ended up breaking most of the remaining steps. The only thing Chell was not sure about was how they would both fit in that telephone box.

"Hey Vashta Nerada" the Doctor shouted at the shadows. "I would like to inquire of you why you are surrounding my ship."

The shadows did not approach the Doctor, but remained still. The swarm was probably either stunned by his sudden statement, or by the fact that they recognized him as the Doctor.

"Now, I'll give you two options, you either clear away from my ship so Chell and I can board safely, or I'll have to stop you. I hope that you realize that I'm no human steak ready to be eaten, I am the Doctor, and I am alive."

There was a long pause. The Vashta Nerada spent a long while deliberating as whether or not to attack the Doctor. After a span of seconds that felt like years, the shadow parted its ways and left a walkway to the Tardis.

"Thank you," said the Doctor as he slid down the old railing and proceeded towards the pathway. Chell was starting to descend the stairs as he stepped into the pathway of light. The shadows suddenly swarmed in on the Doctor, surrounding him; giving him barely a moment to realize the mistake he had made before beginning to eat the poor Doctor. Chell saw the attack and acted without thinking. She grabbed the lantern and threw it right at the ground, creating a pillar of flames as the fire quickly ignited, spreading from insect to insect. Some parts of the shadow detached from the main swarm and were fast enough to escape the flames.

As the flames quickly died down with nothing left to burn, Chell jumped off the porch onto the charred ground (landing without injury due to her long fall boots). The shadows that had escaped the flame turned back around, aiming to kill their prey that could easily get away. The Doctor ran towards the Tardis door and Chell followed, both entering within seconds of the shadow's attack, followed by a great pounding against the now closed door.

Chell caught her breath as she looked around at the expansive room complete with a futuristic control panel in its center. Chell was for the second time in one day, awestruck, leaving her with only 5 words.

"It's bigger on the inside."

Thanks for reading, I want to get the next chapter posted by Friday at the latest, and hopefully the full episode by Sunday. For now DFTBA (don't forget to be awesome)
