"Wait what" Marley was confused. She had barely recovered from the lizard ordeal and now this strange guy was asking her to come with him to god knows where. She took a few steps back, glancing up at his hopeful face.

She sighed, "I barely know who you are or what you're even asking here. Explain yourself cause I'm not going unless you do."

"Oh of course! Silly me, I guess I just assumed. Now lets see, I'm the Doctor, as you know, and I'm the last of the Time Lords. I can travel through time and space in my TARDIS, as I do everyday. It's wonderful really, but always better when someone travels along" He again looked at her with hopeful puppy dog eyes.

"Do you have a pen and paper with you?" she asked, causing him some confusion.

"Um, yeah, why?"

"You'll see"

She scribbled down a few words, numbers, and a small sentence. She handed the paper back to the Doctor, told him to read it, and bolted away. She disappeared into an alley.

The Doctor glanced at the paper, reading

Please come to Central Park at exactly 1:47am and be at the third bench from the entrance. If you do come, in your machine, you'll get this back.

- Marley

She had drawn a crude bow tie under her signature. The Doctor looked down, realizing that his precious accessory was gone. He couldn't believe it! He hadn't even noticed her hand snatching it from right under his chin! Despite himself, he couldn't help but smile at his predicament. He liked the challenge she presented and the obvious potential she showed. The Doctor turned on his heel, walking back to his beloved TARDIS.

Hours later, Marley was sitting alone in the park. She checked her watch, 1:45. He had two minutes to show up before she left. She played with the stolen neckwear in her hand, studying it. It was quite nice so hopefully he would be motivated to come. She sighed, 1:46. One minute left for the mysterious Doctor to prove himself. She stared at her watch intensely, waiting.

1:47. She looked around, no one had shown up. Tears began to form as she slowly got up, thats when she heard the sound. Vwoorp Vwoorp Vwoorp. Leaves and debris swirling around the air. A blue box began to appear in front of her. She stood, a bright smile appearing on her pale face. The winds settled as the door opened. The man peaked out and she ran in.

The size of the box on the inside didn't really excite her as much as the thing in general did, as she expected it would be bigger than it seemed. Her eyes were wide as they looked around full circle. She had never seen something so beautiful in her life. She slowly walked around the control pad, taking in every noise it made. The lights thrilled her and the whole thing screamed adventure. The Doctor stood back, letting her take everything in, before tapping her shoulder and holding out his hand, "I believe you have something that belongs to me"

Wordlessly, she dropped the bow tie into his palm.

"Now, I take it you are more convinced to travel?" he inferred, noting the nod of her head, "Are you completely sure, as it could get dangerous and you might never see your friends again"

"I have nothing to lose and no one to miss"

Are you sure?" he asked again, looking into her eyes

"Doctor, I am a borderline homeless teenager who is being offered the chance to travel the stars. I have never been more sure of anything in my life. I just one more question for now"

He nodded, "Yes?"

"Can we go back to the shelter to get my stuff?"

The Doctor laughed wholeheartedly, "Of course we can! And afterwords, I'll let you pick where you want your first adventure to be!"

And with that, they were off.

A/N There we go! I'm gonna try writing the chapters as if they're individual episodes for now. Hope you like it!
