by the way, if your wondering about the really short second scene, i figured that's how Doctor Who episodes kind of went... random scenes of people getting attacked by aliens and screaming and then fading into the next scene, soo...

"What do you think?" Alice asked the Doctor, indicating her new choice of clothes. The Doctor looked her over. She was wearing a knee-length blue skirt and blue shirt of lighter color, along with a pair of blue Converse.

"You look great" the Doctor said "a bit blue, but great"

"Had to find something to match the shoes" Alice replied

"Fair enough"

"Where are we going first?" Alice asked, walking over to the TARDIS console, where the Doctor was.

"I was thinking Earth, about the year 2013, around spring. Haven't decided where on Earth though, any suggestions?"

Alice shook her head "I have no idea what Earth even looks like"

"Good point," the Doctor looked at the TARDIS controls thoughtfully for a minute before pressing a few odd buttons and switches. Alice had to grab on to something to avoid being thrown about, but as soon as it stopped she burst out laughing.

"Fun?" the Doctor asked, grinning at her

"You bet!" she replied. After a few minutes of uncontrollable laughter she managed to calm herself down enough to ask: "so, where are we then?"

"First trip, and you're acting as if you do this every day!" the Doctor, if possible, grinned even wider "I have no idea where we are. Well besides it being Earth and all. Why don't we have a look?" he ran over to the door, opened it and looked outside. Alice followed.

"Any idea yet?" she whispered

"Give me a second!" the Doctor responded, sounding quite annoyed. But he was grinning, so Alice knew he wasn't. He barely even looked around before saying "London. Typical. Always London… nothing against London or anything, but I wanted something new!"

Alice looked around. The Doctor watched her with a curious look. Alice, after absorbing the scenery for a bit, noticed the Doctor and asked "what's that look for?"

"Nothing! I was just wondering how you would react, probably not the best place to take you first time around…" he made an odd face "but then again, you don't seem to be freaking as much as I imagined you would."

"Traveled the outskirts of Hyrule enough," Alice replied, as if that explained everything

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Ever been to the Mushroom Kingdom?"

"True… I could see how that makes sense. By the way, remind me not to take you to Japan…"

"What for?"

"No reason!" the Doctor said quickly, a bit too quickly.

A little boy in the park ran over to the drinking fountain. To his surprise it was already running. Giggling slightly at the fact the drinking fountain had broken, he called to his mother. His mother ran over, asking what was going on.

"Look mommy! Look!" the little boy said, pointing at the drinking fountain which was spewing water everywhere

"That's cool!" the mother said, even though she actually didn't sound impressed. "I wonder if anyone's going to notice that it's running anytime soon and fix it, come on, you'll have to get a drink somewhere else." She grabbed her little boy's hand and started to drag him off.

"Wait mommy!" the little boy said, pointing at the water again "look!"

The mother turned around to look, and notice now that the water was taking shape. Confused and curious, she started to inch closer. The water was starting to take form as a face. A face of a monster.

It roared and lunged at them.

The boy and the mother screamed…

The Doctor paused, and then grinned. Someone was screaming. "That's my cue!" he said, running off in the direction it came from. Alice followed at his heels.

"You do this often?" she asked

"Enough!" the Doctor called back. He started to turn left, but Alice called: "Other way!" and he went to the right.

"You're hearing is remarkable!" the Doctor told her

"Thanks, but come on!"

They were at the park in no time, with nothing out of the ordinary to be seen. Well, besides a random drinking fountain that was still running when no one was around it.

"What is it?" Alice asked, surveying the area "what happened?"

"I don't know" the Doctor replied, heading over to inspect the odd drinking fountain. He pulled out his sonic screw driver and started examining the thing. Alice was still looking around, quite confused.

"There doesn't look like there was anyone screaming…" she said, mainly to herself "so what happened?" she tore her gaze away from the playground, where plenty of little kids were playing happily as if nothing had happened, and went over to the Doctor.

"I don't get it, nothing's here."

"It's usual, whatever it was probably left after…" he paused for a second before saying "It did whatever it did." He looked at the drinking fountain, which had now stopped its continuous running.

"That's not all of it though" Alice said "everyone here is acting as if nothing happened. They had to have seen something, or at least heard the scream. Don't you think that's a bit odd?"

"A bit, yeah…" the Doctor looked around, noting that Alice was indeed right, and that no one was acting like anything had happened. "Actually, more than a bit. That's just weird." He looked around, scanning the scene. No police cars, no freaked out people, no nothing. Just an ordinary day at an ordinary park. "Something's not right" he said.

"Do you think we should ask someone?" Alice asked

"Normally I would say no, but… I think the best idea is yes." He stood up, pocketed the sonic screwdriver and headed towards the playground. Alice followed, smiling slightly to herself for no particular reason. The Doctor stopped suddenly, causing her to nearly run into him. He continued after a second, shaking his head.

"What was it?" Alice asked

"Nothing…" the Doctor replied, but he didn't sound so sure about it.

Alice started to press the matter further, but they were within earshot of other people, and she was nearly positive she would end up saying something that would throw them all off. She kept her mouth shut.

"Umm, excuse me…" the Doctor said, getting the attention of one of the nearby mothers "but have you seen anything odd happen around here lately?"

She shook her head no. "Sorry sir, nothing unusual."

"Thanks!" the Doctor said, grinning, and he turned around and walked away. Alice gave him an odd look.

"Not going to press the matter any further?" she asked

"I honestly don't think I need to, no one's noticed anything. I would actually be shocked if they did."

"Does this have anything to do with why you stopped earlier?"

The Doctor beamed at her "you're good! It does, as a matter of fact. There's some perception field around the playground, it keeps anything unusual from filtering in."

"So whatever we just so happen to be against, it has the ability to make sure no one notices is what is going on?" Alice asked him

The Doctor nodded. There was another scream from the distance. "And whatever it is, it seems busy" he mused, and the chase began.
