A/N: I'm not dead! Sorry this has taken so long to post. First I was just lazy, but still had the story formulating in my head. Funny enough I've got the second bit of their adventures down, but not how they first met. I'm terrible. Secondly, I had my computer crash. I had to do a complete wipe of my hard drive and reinstall XP. -dies- What a pain in my ass. Reinstall all my software which takes time mind you. I just now finished the chapter and am working on the second one. So forgive me sorry!
Chapter 1 – I Pledge Allegiance to the United World
A man, that appeared no more than one who went unnoticed should, stepped out from a rather strange, blue, police box, giving it a quick lock up before looking around briefly at his surroundings and setting off. If one saw this, one might find it odd such a relic sat next to the tallest building in the world, but then again, it was hidden in its shadow. While cars zoomed over head at a good hundred miles per hour, he walked down the surprisingly clean, freshly looking made sidewalk; his red trainers dragging along the cement happily while he stuck his hands into the pockets of his lightly pinstriped slacks.
"Ah, my favorite era! So, clean looking!" He said dotingly to no one in particular, if not to himself.
Cars swerved and others honked their horns at fellow drivers as lights blinked and flashed their signals, teetering high in the air. The bright blue sky struck through the clouds that looked a bit ominous the city while several birds flew in a formation across its plethora as the wind whipped the man's duster about his ankles and mussing up his hair.
"Ah, man!" He suddenly exclaimed animatedly to himself. "My hair! I just put gel in it to give it an extra good style and the wind as to go and blunder it up!"
The man attempted feebly to restyle his hair, walking down the street not particularly watching where he was going. Finally giving up on his hair, now windswept, he stopped to take in his surroundings to only realize that though the street and shops were typical for the period ---- no one was outside. No one except for himself. Sure flying cars flew by overhead, but not a single human or subspecies normal for the era was out and about doing any sort of afternoon grocery shopping or the sort.
"Where is everyone?" He asked aloud, looking around. Surprisingly enough his eyes caught someone out of the corner of his eyes, darting across the street. "Wait! Where is everyone?" He called out giving chase.
"Stop, you're gonna make me late!" The stranger retorted, turning to face him.
"Late to what? Why are the streets empty? What happened, it shouldn't be like this," replied the brown eyed man with his mussed hair.
"The Doctor…" The young man he had a hold of by the arm stumbled upon his words. "I…I…I'm so sorry, I didn't realize it was you! I was just on my…my way to see the announcement!"
"Well it's nice to get recognized I suppose, but what announcement?" The Doctor replied, stuffing his hands back into his pockets.
The young man's eyebrows furrowed together in abundant confusion, before fear suddenly spread across his pale features. "Is…is this one of those tests? Is that what this is? Please I'm on my way. I swear! I was just running a bit late. I had to close up the shop and there's no telly in there so…" Backing up in the midst of his excuses, staggering over the curb, he turned and in an instant was dashing down the sidewalk, disappearing around the corner of the building.
Eyebrows nearly part of his hairline, the Doctor scratched at his chin. "That was odd. Hmmm, best check it out…now…where did I park the Tardis?"
Closing the doors of the Tardis behind him, he quickly made his way to the screen that resided as part of the controls of the ship. Abusing the buttons a bit the screen lit up, and red words to a black background scrolled across the monitor declaring that: anyone caught not watching the announcement would suffer dire consequences.
"Dire consequences? Who says that anymore?!" The Doctor said, loudly to an empty ship. Abruptly the black and red hue fuzzed away into a pixel mass that began to take shape. The Doctor was positive that one of his hearts had stopped upon the vision of the figure before him.
"What am I doing on the telly?" He demanded, gripping the computer screen, tipping it up for a better look. He contemplated shutting it off just to make sure he wasn't seeing his reflection, but just as his finger brushed the button upon the monitor he started to speak.
"'ello United World of the Earth Worlds Federation---"
"Earth Worlds Federation?!" He exclaimed shaking the monitor a bit in the process. "United World…that's not suppose to happen until thirty twenty-two! It's only twenty ninety-four!"
The fake or digital cloning designed image of himself, right down to his proper dark brown eyes continued to talk, while his own played across the screen.
"I am the Doctor. Hail me, for I am gloriously your savior, protector, and high ruler of the Earth Worlds Federation. Pledge your allegiance to the United World and you shall be protected." Suddenly as though a microphone was being used, multiple voices boomed together into one across the streets, leaking through the door of the Tardis, reverberating off its walls.
"I pledge my allegiance to the United World of the Earth Worlds Federation and to the high ruler for which we stand. Indivisible and with liberty and justice for all."
The Doctor stood there in disbelief, his mind racing over possible situations that could have caused this outcome; to force the progression of the human race quicker then properly. And why in the world he was on the telly!?
'Is it a clone? Nah, that's not possible. They wouldn't have the technology for the genetic splicing, especially for my DNA,' the Doctor thought.
"Liberty and justice for all?" Unexpectedly a voice cut through the silence that had fallen; thunderous down the alleyway the Tardis lay hidden in. "What a load of rubbish! More like suppression and injustice!"
"Shut up would you, Alex?" Another female voice filtered through. "Just being out like this, not watching the announcement…"
"I pledge allegiance to the United World," the first female voice said completely ignoring her friend. "What are we; in the States? If I hadn't have gotten fired---"
"Lucky to still be alive is what you are!"
"Nah, just smart!" The girl replied cheekily, and the Doctor couldn't help but ignore the words his fake was droning on with and found himself typing at the keyboard amongst the Tardis' controls; finally able to get a clear look of what seemed to be only two people just outside the Tardis, passing by. Their faces obscured from view by the large trash pile that waited pick up.
"Stupid's more like it!"
The Doctor's brow furrowed together more tightly as he switched back to the general announcement to catch only the last few words his fake had to say.
"Tomorrow night let all of us enjoy my glorious thirty-seven years of reign as your high ruler of the Earth Worlds Federation!"
The screen abruptly went blank, scrolling in deep red the approximant time the celebration would commence and to: Have a great day!
'Well…'
the Doctor thought to himself, 'I
was always good at crashing parties, but first I don't think it
would be to bright to go strolling about these streets as I am…might
get mobbed!'
A/N: Hope you liked it so far! If not, just lie to me! Lol! XD Please keep reading!
