Don't own Doctor Who

So let's get on with it

The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS, his companions closely following. "Alright. Why, of all places in the universe, do we always seem to end up on Earth in or around the twenty-first century?" Amy asked irritatedly.

"You lot are always from here, and I figure you'd prefer familiar surroundings." The Doctor explained, not sounding convinced of the fact in the least. "Plus, there's always something or other that needs saving here."

Amy began to say something rather rude in response, but she was interrupted by a rather sparkly blur rushing between them and to the TARDIS. "I-it can't be!" The girl, who was in a sparkly purple jumpsuit muttered. She swiftly turned to everyone else. "Excuse me, but is the Doctor here?"

Rory and River both, nearly simultaneously replied "Yes. He is.", while Amy shoved him towards the girl, who shook her head. "No, I'm looking for the Doctor. Black hair, likes to play the recorder, Time Lord. He should be around here somewhere; that box is his ship."

"Zoe, I am The Doctor!", he shouted irritatedly. "And you shouldn't be possible! The Time Lords took your memories away! How do you remember me?"

The girl, Zoe looked confused. "How can you be The Doctor?"

"I-I changed! Regenerated! Whole new face. Actually, about ten whole new faces since I saw you last. And you are ignoring the question!"

"Um, Doctor, do you want us to wait in the TARDIS while you work things out?" Mel interrupted.

"Sure, go ahead. I'll only be a minute. Zoe, answer the question!"

Zoe shook her head and stepped back. "I really don't know how I remember! I was back on The Wheel, and I didn't remember at first, but when I came back, this girl showed up and gave me this." she held up a strange, jet black stone that looked like it would be good for skipping. It was covered with odd markings that were green and glowing. "And now I remember it, but I don't know how!"

Snatching the offending stone from her, The Doctor studied it closely for a minute before licking it and handing it back to Zoe. "I don't have the faintest idea what this stone is, but I do know one thing." He stated.

After he failed to answer, Zoe asked "Which is..."

"Or actually, a few things.", The Doctor clarified. "First of all, it's almost certainly non-terrestrial. Also, has a high sodium content and is slightly radioactive, but that's not important. The important thing is it's age. This stone can't be any more than a few weeks old, which means it can't be natural. Regular rocks take a very, very long time to form, so someone must have made it. But the question here is who? Zoe, what did the girl who gave you this look like?"

"I-I don't know!", Zoe exclaimed. "It was dark and she, or I think it was a she, just handed it to me and ran off. Didn't say a word."

Grabbing the stone back, The Doctor ran back into the TARDIS, the Zoe following. He placed the stone on a panel in the console that hadn't been there a moment ago and circular marks started showing up on the screen. Mel ran behind him and peeked over his shoulder. "Doctor, what are you..."

"Just running a full scan. Should give us a hint as to what's going on.", he explained. "And Mel, grab me two of the little notebooks from the storage over there" he pointed to a corridor leading out of the console room. "and make sure at least one of them is blue." Mel looked at him oddly, but did as she was told.

AN- Yes, Zoe is rather OOC. Yes, I apologize to Zoe fans. BTW, Zoe is a companion of the Second Doctor.
