It was the planet Earth in the year 1963 in America. An nasty little alien with a knack for traveling through space and time to mess with cultures and history for his amusement, had found it's way to Dallas, Texas. Toni T. could not imagine how or why he would do this but knew it had nothing to do with the message and money she had anonymously sent to him in the not so distant past... Once she could count on this psychotic little alien to show up, she could count on the Doctor similarly arriving. She had also sent encrypted signals to his TARDIS via her TARDIS making sure she grabbed a certain incarnation of the Doctor. The Doctor she had already had prepped and ready. Everything was set in place.

"This way, my dear, this way! Not a moment can be spared! Toni you said it was? I can tell you are a bright girl. There is also something about you... I can't quite put my finger on it..." the Doctor ushered as he lead her down the sunny streets conversing with her.

"I get that a lot... I just must have that look about me!" Toni T. laughed lightly.

The Doctor abruptly stopped walking and gazed at her curiously.

"Indeed you do," he replied and restarted his brisk gait.

Toni T. was not sure what he meant by that, but she was careful to decrease her alien affiliation. She had inserted a chip under her skin right below her collar bone that created an invisible matter-less forcefield around her that made it impossible for the Doctor to telepathically read her true race. For all that could be seen or detected, she was a human being. The only way she could be given away with her forcefield in place was by reading her pulse. Something she could easily prevent.

Toni T. readily followed the Doctor closely and listened intently to all he said.

"So you are here for what reason Toni?" the Doctor inquired.

"Oh to see the president of course!" Toni T. gushed. Inside she was trying hard not to throw up. This disgusting guise she forced upon herself was making her sick.

"Yes of course... I saw the newspaper before bumping into you. It told me all I needed to know... The TARDIS sent me here for a reason. Now I am pretty certain as to why that is," the Doctor half mumbled and partially directed towards Toni.

"Is something going to happen to the president?" Toni T. gasped. Hmm... I don't seem half bad at this. They need awards for genius of my caliber.

"Well Toni, I hate to tell you in such a matter-of-fact and very accepting-of-national-tragedy way, but yes. And I am here to make sure that happens exactly according to plan."

"Wait. Excuse me?" Toni T. gaped. Acting classes are for those who have too much time and manage it in efficiently. I should devise a way to extort that time and use it for my means. Possible future scheme noted.

Out of nowhere plasma rounds narrowly missed Toni T. but one grabbed and singed the back of the Doctor's jacket.

"Get down!" the Doctor cried pushing Toni T. behind a post box, "It seems that whoever is plotting to drastically alter Earth's history has recognized me and desires to destroy me before I can destroy his plans. Careful Toni! This can get dangerous," the Doctor explained as plasma rounds whizzed all around them.

"What do we do Doctor?" Toni T. shivered, crouching close to him, breathing hard.

The Doctor calmly smiled at Toni giving her a look with twinkling eyes. Though plasma started to eat through the post box's other side, and their lives were endangered, the moment felt so calm as she stared into his eyes of deep blue.

"We do this, my dear," the Doctor whispered, pulling a wrench that lay beneath the post box, "On my count you must dash up from the post box and shout, immediately ducking back down. While he is distracted, I will toss this wrench at his gun disarming him. Trust me on this. One. Two. Three!"

Toni T. jumped on cue yelling, "AHOY LAD!" falling back down with cat-like reflexes, while, as promised, the Doctor threw the wrench knocking the gun from him.

As the red skinned, spike headed alien stumbled for his gun, Toni T. and the Doctor raced forward, grabbed the alien in a locked position, and drug him to the alley away from any watchful bystanders. Luckily most were already lined up waiting to see the president. As the two made sure the alien was not going anywhere, the Doctor smiled at Toni T., "Good work back there. I knew I could count on you for some reason."
